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

"Hahaha, it's really a wish come true! Chief Engineer, your snow-clearing equipment is so timely and important. It's exactly what we need!"

The heavy snowstorm not long ago not only covered the factory and surrounding roads with a thick layer of white snow, but also made it extremely difficult and labor-intensive to clear the snow.

The problem of not clearing the snow in time has seriously affected the normal life of the people and the working order of the factory, and caused a great economic blow to the factory. If you had developed the snow-clearing machine earlier, this loss might have been avoided. "I will definitely apply to my superiors to commend your achievements."

After settling the affairs within the factory, Lu Weimin went to his residence near Liufeng Port on the north bank of the North Canal and focused on practicing national martial arts.

Fei ** also went with them, but only brought her youngest daughter with her. As for the eldest daughter, Lu Aimin, she was sent to a nearby place to play with the other two children, Lu Ru and Lu Guorui. The three sisters got along very happily.

[National Martial Arts +1] [National Martial Arts +1] [National Martial Arts +1]

After lunch and a rest, practice started again and time flew by.

When you finish practicing,

Lu Weimin checks his status board:

[National Martial Arts Level 10: 35 billion +/100 billion]

Since his master was not around at the moment, Lu Weimin had no idea how advanced his skills had become, but from his personal experience, his dodging movements had become more natural, and his ability to be intimate with his spouse had significantly increased.

After finishing his days at Liufenggang on the North Grand Canal, Lu Weimin drove to Shilimiao Hutong to pick up his children. It was almost dusk.

In the evening, the honest and straightforward old friend Zhuer, his wife Liu Lan and their children visited Lu Aimin, played with him, and passed on the news about the courtyard at home to Lu Weimin and his wife Li Jing. Liu Lan said with a smile:

"Have you heard? Qin Huairu also gave birth to a girl!"

"I really feel sorry for this little baby who has just come into the world. Every day, his grandmother scolds him and calls him a waste of money."

"I really don't understand. Don't they have a baby boy? What's wrong with having a baby girl? Our little baby is so well-behaved, cute and lovable. How could there be such harsh words!" Faced with such a situation, Lu Weimin, his wife and Fei ** were all surprised, because the two of them rarely returned to the courtyard to live in the past week or so.

In contrast, Zhuer and Liu Lan visited frequently, so they had more accurate information. After learning that Qin Huairu's second child was a daughter, Lu Weimin asked, "So, have you named her?"

This aroused the curiosity of his wife and daughter. Liu Lan immediately responded: "I heard his name is Xiaodang!"

Lu Weimin frowned slightly after hearing this, and then said "hmm". Li Jing looked at Lu Weimin and asked: "Honey, our little baby hasn't been named yet, what do you think it should be called?" So they started to discuss the baby's name.

After some discussion, the name "Lu Fei" was finally decided, which was Lu Weimin's own choice. When he proposed it, Fei **'s eyes lit up immediately and a satisfied smile appeared on the corners of her mouth.

Li Jing also agreed with the proposal of this name.

On the way back, Zhuer expressed his opinion on naming his daughter "He Hua" or "He Zhaodi". He thought these two names were more pleasant to the ears and close to folk traditions, which would help girls grow up. Liu Lan smiled and did not comment directly.

A few days passed by like a flash.

On this day, the sky was exceptionally bright and the sunshine was warm and pleasant, so Lu Weimin and his family returned to the courtyard.

Basking in the sun in the yard is mother Li Jing, holding her baby. Her love for the little baby is beyond words. The couple gently kisses their daughter's soft cheeks from time to time.

Qin Huairu was filled with jealousy when she saw this scene. She lamented that they were both mothers, but why were their fates so different? Her mother-in-law was furious with her, calling her newborn daughter a burden; her husband also looked very lost and frustrated. On the other hand, the husband of the neighboring couple would love and protect his family with all his heart, whether it was his son or his daughter. At this moment, Qin Huairu was filled with bitterness and couldn't help wondering if she had chosen the wrong family.

I have shed so many tears in the past two days! Unfortunately, it is too late to remedy this. Qin Huairu's experience aroused the jealousy of her mother Jia Zhang. Jia Zhang saw that other people's daughters could receive countless praises, which was completely different from the situation of her own daughter-in-law, who gave birth to a baby girl but was ridiculed by neighbors.

The indignant Jia Zhang couldn't help complaining: "Those snobbish and opportunistic neighbors are really disgusting!" At Lu Weimin's home, Aunt Yan laughed and told:

"Now everyone in the compound is making fun of the Jia family. Before Qin Huairu gave birth, Jia Zhang always boasted to others that her daughter-in-law would definitely give birth to a son, and the family business would have someone to carry on the family business! When people asked her why, she confidently declared that a belly shaped like a peak was a sign of a boy, and even laughed at you in front of others when she mentioned that your second child was a **."

In response, Li Jing said: "Whether it is a son or a daughter, what difference does it make? My husband is always full of love for every child, and so am I. Even for our first child, he never insisted on having a boy. He once said that it is a happy thing, whether it is a boy or a girl!"

"That's right! Wei Min, he has a very open mind! It's a blessing to marry such a man!" Aunt Yan agreed. Li Jing smiled and replied, "Indeed! My other half is great!"

The following story revolves around a surprise about promotion and an unexpected encounter in a park——

On Monday morning, the Institute of Mechanics held a general meeting of all staff to celebrate the new beginning.

At the meeting, Director Zhang publicly stated that Comrade Lu Weimin will officially become the director of Department 8 from today onwards from the former deputy director.

In fact, before this promotion, Lu Weimin had actually led the work of the Eighth Division, and this appointment made him one of the fastest-rising young cadres in the Republic's scientific community. As soon as this decision was announced, the audience burst into thunderous applause.

Although Lu Weimin is young and promising, his achievements are obvious to all, and this promotion is what everyone wants. At the end of the meeting, Mr. Zhang also shared a private message. He said that his hometown was experiencing a severe drought and he planned to go back to his hometown to investigate. During this period, he suggested that any matters should be communicated directly with Deputy Director Zhu, and then Deputy Director Zhu gave a speech.

In the afternoon of the same day, Mr. Zhang came to Lu Weimin's office.

"Congratulations, Weimin, on your successful promotion to the Director of the Eighth Division!" Mr. Zhang said with a smile on his face. "Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for the promotion!" Although he believed that he deserved this role based on his own abilities and contributions, Lu Weimin knew that this promotion was inseparable from Mr. Zhang's support and recommendation, and he was full of gratitude.

When talking about my upcoming personal trip: "Teacher Zhang, when are you leaving?" "The train is about an hour away, so I came here to let you know and left the office early."

After Mr. Zhang's answer, Lu Weimin suddenly thought of something. "Wait a minute, I have something else to give you." He stood up, opened the filing cabinet and took out some drawings.

Looking at the design documents handed over by Lu Weimin, Mr. Zhang's eyes immediately became bright, because every time Lu Weimin presented him with similar drawings, he would always bring some amazing innovations. At this moment, he was curious and excited about this mysterious project. "What is this?" Lu Weimin briefly explained: "Considering the recent drought disasters in many places, I conceived a device that can effectively alleviate the impact of drought. Despite my busy work, I still took the time to develop it. This design is a system called 'drip irrigation'."

After hearing this, Mr. Zhang nodded in confusion. "Drip irrigation..."

Lu Weimin further explained: "This drip irrigation system may not look impressive, but its function is quite significant. The main principle is to use a plastic hose, a small tube with a diameter of about 10-15 mm and a nozzle or drip head to directly transport water to the root area of ​​the plant to achieve precise irrigation."

An irrigation technology that uses a pipe system to steadily and evenly inject the water and nutrients needed by crops into the root zone soil layer of crops in a dripping manner through drippers installed on micro-irrigation pipes.

This water-saving method is extremely efficient in dry and rainless areas, and the water resource utilization rate can reach 95% or even 99%.

It can also be used in conjunction with fertilization operations to increase the effectiveness of fertilizers by more than two times.

……

After listening to Lu Weimin's introduction to drip irrigation technology, Director Zhang expressed extreme excitement and gratitude.

"Oh! Weimin, you are a blessing to me. This drip irrigation system is really a timely help for me - it comes just in time.

I will try this drip irrigation technology on my family first. If it is applicable, it can be promoted not only in our village but also in a wider area.

In this way, our village will have a way to quench its thirst and will not have to wait for state aid all the time. This is a great thing! "

Lu Weimin smiled and replied: "As for what kind of achievements or virtues, I don't care. I just want to do more practical things for ordinary people within my ability."

"You are so responsible! No wonder Mr. Qian thinks highly of you!" Director Zhang was very happy about this. After Director Zhang left, Lu Weimin felt that he had fulfilled a wish and was in a good mood.

He hopes to take this opportunity to widely spread drip irrigation technology with the help of Director Zhang.

By doing this, even when the great drought came in 59, although the disaster could not be completely avoided, its impact could at least be mitigated to a certain extent.

Time flies, and a few days have passed. One afternoon,

Lu Weimin drove his wife and youngest daughter to a nearby park. His eldest son and sister Fei went to a friend's house to attend a wedding, so they did not go with him.

Li Jing held the child in her arms, and the family walked happily in the park.

The good looks of the two attracted a lot of people's attention, but Lu Weimin and his wife were accustomed to such looks.

As they walked and talked, their feelings gradually grew stronger. Lu Weimin couldn't help but hug his wife's waist and kissed her beautiful cheek. "Wow!"
