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

After the meal, everyone waved their small flags and shouted enthusiastically, "Laobai Gong Gong **!", showing their high satisfaction with their current lives. Jia Zhang's face was filled with a happy smile, thinking that the decision to return to the village was the right one. She couldn't help but sigh for the hardships of her son's family of three who were still living on sweet potatoes in the city.

However, this good time did not last long.

The reason why the early days were rich and abundant was that the wealth of all the families in the village was pooled together, and some of the wealthier families also contributed part of their wealth.

Eating at other people’s expense naturally allows one to enjoy it generously, and it also provides financial support for purchasing food such as meat.

Unfortunately, no amount of money can make up for so many people eating and drinking without restraint day after day, and the total income of the entire cooperative is not enough to cover such consumption.

therefore,

At first, there was stewed meat, then it became stir-fried shredded meat, and later it was simple scrambled eggs, and gradually only vegetarian dishes became the main dish.

At the beginning, you could eat fried leeks, then there was only light vegetable soup, and finally even thin porridge became the norm.

The rice in the porridge became less and less, and finally it became sweet potato porridge with sweet potato as the main component.

This transformation process took only a dozen days.

In the past, when everyone was full, they would feel happy when they saw Jia Zhang.

However, now that the cooperative is in trouble, people's attitude towards Jia Zhang has changed completely. They regard her as one more mouth to feed and she is increasingly annoying. Her originally easy work has become extremely difficult.

Her complexion gradually changed from rosy to pale, and she became noticeably thinner, losing more than ten pounds.

Jia Zhang was filled with bitterness and regret, but everything was already a foregone conclusion.

One day, it became unbearable, so he proposed to the leader of the cooperative to return to the city.

Upon hearing this, the leader's face immediately darkened. "How is this possible! Jia Zhang, since you have come here and enjoyed the food provided by the cooperative, you have become one of us. With power comes corresponding responsibilities. How can you think of running away after eating up our savings? What kind of bad example will this set for others?"

In addition to this reason, the leadership was also worried that once Jia Zhang returned to the city, he would expose the true situation in the countryside and cause adverse effects on the village.

Seeing that the leader firmly disagreed with her return to the city, Jia Zhang felt extremely confused and frustrated. She barely managed to hold on for another three days.

She finally couldn't stand the pressure and chose to sneak away from the village at night, but she was intercepted and brought back by villagers holding torches and steel forks.

The villagers threatened that if he tried to escape again, they would sue him for illegally occupying public property and he might be sent to a labor camp and jailed. He would not be able to escape even if he returned to the city.

Jia Zhang sighed and was extremely sad, but she did not dare to do anything drastic. After several warnings and "lessons", she did not try to escape back to the city for a short time.

From then on, Jia Zhang had to undergo "reformation" in the countryside.

At the same time, in the city's courtyards,

Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu were enjoying a sweet potato meal when they recalled the information they had received from the countryside about Jia Zhang - that she was living a comfortable life in the village, participating in production activities, eating for free every day, and leading an easy and comfortable life - and the couple felt a little envious.

One day, Lu Weimin, his wife, his eldest son Lu Aimin, and his youngest daughter Lu Fei came to the courtyard. …(Please give me a flower)...

There is also Sha Zhu and his wife Liu Lan.

During the conversation, Li Jing casually asked why Jia Zhangshi had not been seen recently. Liu Lan chuckled and replied, "Jia Zhangshi has returned to the countryside to live!"

Lu Weimin was slightly surprised to hear this, because according to the original plot, Jia Zhang was very afraid of being forced by Qin Huairu to return to rural life, so why did she choose to return to the countryside on her own initiative now?

He asked curiously: "Why did she suddenly run to the countryside?"

Sha Zhu replied: "It's just to get a free meal!"

Liu Lan went on to explain: “According to Jia Dongxu, the collective canteen in the village is very good, and many people expressed their envy of Jia Zhangshi for being able to enjoy such treatment there.

After hearing the news, Lu Weimin couldn't help but smile bitterly. He knew clearly what the so-called good life was all about! The food might be abundant at the beginning, but it might not be the case afterwards!

But no matter what, it was a good thing for Jia Zhang to go to the countryside. At least she didn't have to see that annoying face appear in the courtyard. It would be best if she never came back here again.

In a blink of an eye, it was Saturday night again and Xiaohan returned from school.

The family had dinner together, took walks, played ball, and took a bath as usual, and Lu Weimin went into his study to continue his studies as usual.

Late at night.

Xiao Han tossed and turned in bed. She had finally returned home from school and wondered if Brother Wei Min would come to see her.

Naturally, she was looking forward to Wei Ming's arrival.

But I am a little shy and don't want to say it directly.

Suddenly, there was a click sound outside the door. Xiaohan's body trembled slightly, and she immediately looked up at the door.

Seeing Brother Wei Min walk in, Xiao Han immediately broke into a happy smile, jumped up from the bed, and ran into Brother Wei Min's arms: "Brother Wei Min! I missed you so much! I thought you wouldn't come tonight!"

"How is that possible! You can only go home once a week, and I miss you so much!" Lu Weimin said as he hugged Xiaohan's waist, and they both walked towards the bed.

It was a day in September.

Lu Weimin returned to his home in Ermingang Hutong with the invitation and walked straight into the living room.

"Wife, Sister Fei, there is a wedding this Friday. Do you want to attend?" Lu Weimin asked, shaking the wedding invitation in his hand.

"Which family has a wedding? They only invited you, not me. How can I join in the fun?"

At this time, Sister Fei was sitting on the sofa watching the baby play. When she heard Lu Weimin's words, she looked up.

Li Jing also asked curiously:

"Whose wedding is it? Is it the neighbor's kid in our yard?"

Lu Weimin sat down on the sofa, took his little daughter from Xiaofei, kissed her lightly, and then handed the wedding invitation to his wife:

“Not a neighbor in the compound.

It was the wedding of my apprentice Yang Aiguo. Do you remember the couple we met in the '377' Park?

He even specifically mentioned that he hopes to invite Sister Fei to attend the wedding banquet!"

Li Jing had a deep impression of Yang Aiguo and recalled the past as soon as she heard it.

Sister Fei learned the story about Yang Aiguo from Lu Weimin, especially the scene where he mistook someone for someone else in the park. Her memory of this young man was deepened a lot.
