Siheyuan: Rebirth 52 years later, escaping from famine in Beijing

"You have really worked hard these years..." Lu Weimin said softly, stroking Chen Xueru's back with his warm hands.

Lu Weimin and Chen Xueru hugged each other tightly and talked softly, their feelings for each other growing stronger and stronger. After about 20 minutes, Lu Weimin said goodbye to Chen Xueru's house and returned to his courtyard.

The snow in the yard had been almost cleared and swept to both sides, so that vehicles could pass normally. When Lu Weimin walked into the front yard, he met Yan Bugui and other neighbors who warmly welcomed him.

Yan Bugui and other neighbors came up to greet Lu Weimin and share their recent interesting stories, especially their experiences with the snowstorm. After talking for a while, Lu Weimin politely said goodbye to everyone and continued to walk towards the inner courtyard.

On the way, he met Qin Huairu, who was pregnant and about to give birth. Qin Huairu seemed a little surprised to see Lu Weimin, and then turned around and walked in. Lu Weimin didn't say much, took out the key, opened the door, and stepped into the house.

At the Jia family, Jia Zhang quietly drew aside the curtains and stared at Lu Weimin. She murmured with dissatisfaction and jealousy, "He can't stay here for more than a few days, but he wants to occupy this nice house!"

After entering the house, Lu Weimin made a quick inspection to confirm that everything was normal and checked the circuit. He did not stay here for long and walked out of the courtyard again.

Afterwards, he did not go to his home in Ermingang, but went to Fengju Hutong to check out the properties there. Everything seemed to be in good condition, and he thought he could check out other residences when he had free time in the future.

Lu Weimin returned to his home and found it unusually lively because of a visitor. It turned out that Sha Zhu, his wife Liu Lan, their child and He Yushui came to visit Li Jing and her newborn baby. When they asked how they got to the hospital in the snow, they were surprised to learn that Lu Weimin was the one who delivered the baby himself.

Li Jing was very proud and happy that Liu Lan praised her husband for being omnipotent. When night fell, the family sat together to share the warm moments.

After washing up, Lu Weimin saw his son Lu Ai** actively taking care of his sister and making her laugh, and he felt extremely happy. Lu Weimin walked over and joined this warm little circle. About an hour later, Lu Weimin retreated to his study and immersed himself in the sea of ​​books.

The learning process went very smoothly. When he put down the book and activated the panel, he saw that [Aerospace Engineering Technical Ability] was close to 29%. This achievement made Lu Weimin feel fulfilled and he was full of confidence in the future.

After finishing the evening self-study, Lu Weimin visited his son who had fallen asleep alone, and made sure that his little daughter was well taken care of by Sister Fei. "The children are so considerate and sensible!" he said with emotion, praising Sister Fei's professional care.

In the afternoon, in a courtyard on an ordinary day...

The sun was shining brightly, and Lu Weimin led his son, while Li Jing carried her one-month-old daughter into the front yard. At this time, Yan Bugui was maintaining his beloved Phoenix bicycle in the front yard, and was instantly surprised to see Lu Weimin and his family coming - after not seeing each other for a few months, Li Jing had become a new mother. "Congratulations, Engineer Lu! Is it a son or a little princess?" Yan Bugui ran up and asked impatiently.

Lu Weimin smiled and replied: "It's a rich girl!"

Deep down, Yan Bugui wanted a son, but verbally he tried his best to express his love for a daughter: "A daughter is also good! Having both a son and a daughter is perfect! Look at this little girl, she is so beautiful, with those big black eyes, as delicate and cute as a porcelain doll!" Soon, Aunt Yan and other neighbors came running after hearing the noise. They were all beaming with joy and full of praise, praising the newborn daughter for how beautiful and charming she was.

Seeing this, Li Jing couldn't help but feel happy and proud when she saw everyone praising her baby daughter so enthusiastically. At this time, Jia Zhang, who was on her way home from buying sweet potatoes, immediately stood up with excitement when she heard the news that Li Jing had given birth successfully.

When she found out it was a daughter, her wrinkled face immediately broke into a smile. She quickly crossed the yard and entered her house, laughing: "Dongxu, Huairu, did you know? That daughter-in-law surnamed Lu actually gave birth to another daughter this time. I'm so happy! Huairu, you have to work harder and give birth to a son!"

Before Qin Huairu could respond, Jia Dongxu said confidently: "Don't worry, mother. I believe that Huairu is pregnant with a boy this time. In this way, our family will soon have another boy!"

Although Huairu was a little nervous, worried about what to do if it was a girl, she saw that her mother-in-law and husband were very emotional, so she didn't dare to say much. She could only pray silently in her heart, hoping that she would really have a baby boy.

Afterwards, Jia Dongxu hurried to the Lu family and witnessed this warm scene. He immediately felt jealous and complained when he returned home, "I really can't accept it. That woman is obviously a spendthrift, but she has so many good things to say! The world is really fickle."

Huairu felt upset when she heard this and walked into the front yard alone. She saw the lively scene surrounding Lu Weimin's family all around and her heart was filled with jealousy.

That night, Lu Weimin and his family spent the night in the courtyard. On Wednesday, bored Fei decided to drive out to meet friends to relieve her tiredness. However, on the way back, the car broke down and it was difficult to leave for a while.

Facing this scene, Sister Fei, a single mother with two young children, was immediately confused. Fortunately, she suddenly remembered that there was a machine repair factory nearby, and the factory director, Uncle Zhang, happened to be an acquaintance of hers - he was Lu Weimin's old boss. With a glimmer of hope, Sister Fei led the children there.

When she arrived at the office, she found that Director Zhang was not there, so she turned to the car repair department for help. "Hello, Master Cao, can you help me? My car just had a problem outside, and I wonder if your company can provide a towing service?" Although she had met Masters Cao and Ma at Lu Weimin's wedding before, she only vaguely remembered their faces but not their full names.

Recently, because of attending the wedding banquet of Master Cao's son, Sister Fei finally remembered this old technician. As soon as she stepped into the workshop, she saw Master Cao sitting at his workstation. Both of them were surprised to meet each other.

Master Cao was stunned at first, but regained his composure in an instant: "No problem, Li **, you are too polite. It's the same for me and others. We will do our best to help. Please wait here, I will arrange a tow truck immediately." Halfway through the conversation, he seemed to realize something and changed his tone, "Wait a minute, you are..."

As Master Cao talked more and more, he discovered that Sister Fei had long hair, her temperament was different, and her figure was unusually slender and graceful. He remembered that Sister Fei was a head taller than his daughter, and her cheeks were slightly flushed. He suddenly realized that he might have recognized the wrong person.

Sister Fei smiled cheerfully and said, "That's true! I'm Jingjing's mother, and I'm used to being mistaken for someone else!"

"Oh! I'm sorry! It's mainly because you two look so much alike, and you look so young! Also, you're taking care of two kids at the same time!"

"it does not matter!"

"The one you are holding should be Wei Min's youngest child, right? Was it the one Director Li just gave birth to?"

"Yes, he was born not long ago."

"It's so pretty! So adorable!"

During the conversation, Master Ma returned from the bathroom. If he had not heard Master Cao calling Sister Fei's name, he would probably have made a mistake.

Afterwards, Master Ma started the car and towed the jeep back to the repair shop, where it was quickly repaired.

Fei tried to pay for the repairs, but Master Cao and Master Ma refused to accept the money. Finally, Fei had to give up.

Watching Sister Fei drive away, Master Ma whispered in admiration: "It's amazing, Wei Min's mother-in-law is getting younger and younger. Every time I see her, I think she is more beautiful than the last time I met her!"

"Indeed! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, it would be hard to believe there would be such a change!" "This mother and daughter are so alike!"

"Having said that, there are still some differences between the two. They do look alike when standing together, but you can always tell them apart.

However, if they appear separately, it would be difficult to distinguish them in a short period of time, so they would be mistaken.

Fortunately, one has short hair and the other has long hair. Otherwise it would be more difficult to tell them apart.”

"That's true. I have a friend whose two sisters look just like they were cut from the same mold."

"But they are sisters! This pair is mother and daughter, how can they be compared?" "That's true!"

"Time flies. When Lu Weimin first came to our factory, he was just a young man with little experience in the world. Six years have passed in a flash, and he has two children! He lives a happy and fulfilling life."

"Seeing him live so well, I feel comforted!" "I feel the same way!"

Qin Huairu burst into tears because of the huge difference in her husband's attitude! Although both men gave birth to daughters, the difference in their reactions was as big as heaven and earth!

After get off work, Lu Weimin learned that the car had broken down in the morning and it was Sister Fei who asked Master Cao and Master Ma to repair it.

She mentioned that the two masters were very friendly.

After hearing the praise for her, Lu Weimin recalled the days when he worked with these old craftsmen. Although it was short, it was memorable and those years were truly wonderful.

So he drove to Sanlipiao to pick up Chen Xueru and the children for dinner.

I stayed there that night.

Recently, this situation has become more and more frequent.

It's another weekend morning.

Lu Weimin drove the jeep straight to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

The purpose of this trip was twofold: first, since the large-scale power outage, regular inspections of the circuit systems within the factory had become necessary to ensure that similar incidents would not occur again.

As the nominal chief engineer with a good monthly income, he should also make due contributions to the factory. As for the specific implementation details, they can be left to professionals.

The second goal involves the design drawings of the snowplow.

Considering this innovative technology, Lu Weimin thought for a long time and did not want to hand it over to the Institute of Mechanics or the Fifth Research Institute.

Instead, he thought the most suitable candidate should be the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

When Director Yang received the design blueprint of the snowplow drawn by Lu Wei** and heard about its efficient snow removal effect, he was extremely excited and moved.
