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

One day, when Lu Weimin finished his work and was about to go home as usual, he observed that many supply points along the way, including food stores, were crowded with people, and people lined up in long queues to get limited food and other necessities. Although the supply of materials in the city is slightly more stable than in the countryside, resources are still very scarce and need to be rationed. Even people who have money and coupons need to wait in line in advance to buy the goods they want, because once the stock is sold out, it will be useless even if they are eligible to buy. "Mr. Lu!"

Lu Weimin suddenly heard a call and looked up to see that it was Yan Bugui waiting in a long line. He stopped his bicycle, walked over, and said cheerfully, "Uncle Yan, you are also waiting in line to buy something!"

Yan Bugui nodded and responded, "Indeed, I'm going to buy some flour. For the past month, we've only been able to eat sweet potatoes almost every day, and everyone is tired of it. I heard that the flour from the supply company has arrived, so everyone is running here. There are so many people in line, and I'm not sure if it will be my turn. Chief Engineer Lu, do you want to queue up and buy some too?"

Lu Weimin glanced at the endless line of people in front of him and said with a smile, "Let's wait until later! I don't have enough cash today." After a brief chat with Yan Bugui, he said goodbye and left, and met many familiar faces on the way.

I finally got home.

The house was bustling with the whole family gathered together. Since last month, Chen Xueru and her children have been living here together. The current situation is tense, and living together can not only save food resources, but also support each other to overcome difficulties. Considering the current situation, they decided to let the servant Aunt Zhang go home.

Even in such a difficult era, Lu Weimin's family was still able to ensure sufficient food, especially meat. This was a family secret that must be kept strictly and must not be leaked.

"Dinner is ready! Come and eat!" Li Jing, Chen Xueru, Sister Fei and Xiao Han worked together to prepare. Li Jing served the hot meal and called her family loudly.

"Ai Min, Guo Rui, Ru Ru, Fei Fei, wash your hands first, then come over to eat!" "Okay! Dad."

"Dad! I've washed my hands!" "Dad! Mine too!"

"I haven't yet!" The children said one after another. They closed the doors and windows to prevent the smell of food from leaking out and attracting attention. Then, the whole family sat around the dining table and began to enjoy a sumptuous dinner.

Several adult women watched the children's satisfied expressions while eating, feeling pity for them. Thinking of those people outside who were struggling on the brink of starvation, their eyes were filled with admiration and dependence on Lu Weimin - it was because of him that their families were free from the suffering of scarcity and lived such a stable and prosperous life.

At this time, Li Jing noticed that there were some rice grains scattered on the edge of her daughter's bowl. She made a small request: "Who can recite the ancient poem "Mercy for the Peasants"? Those who can, please raise your hands!"

The three children immediately raised their hands high. "I can! I will!" the younger brothers and sisters said one after another.

All the adults, including Lu Weimin, also turned their attention to this proposal. Li Jing smiled and chose her younger brother Lu Guorui, "You are all so smart! Well, you recite it once for everyone to hear, Guorui!"

"Okay! Mom!" Guorui stood up with a happy face, while his mother Chen Xueru looked at him expectantly.

As "Li Shen of the Tang Dynasty

In the summer, when people harvest crops in the fields with sickles, every drop of sweat seeps into the soil.

Every meal and every grain on our plate is the precious result of hard work and sweat." This classic poem flowed fluently from Lu Guorui's mouth.

Amidst the praises, especially the applause from his father Lu Weimin, Lu Guorui felt honored.

Li Jing then asked: "It is not only important to remember these verses, but also to understand the meaning behind them. Do you know what message this poem conveys to us?"

"I see! It talks about the hard work of agricultural workers and emphasizes that we should cherish food and never waste it easily." Lu Guorui nodded confidently and replied.

"That's a great answer. You are worthy of being the wise man in the family! You are right. That's exactly the truth!" Li Jing praised with a smile. Amidst the praise, the whole family was filled with a warm and harmonious atmosphere. The other children were full of envy for his success; and the youngest Lu Fei also opened his eyes wide and watched his brother's every move curiously.

"Thank you for the compliment, Jing**!" Lu Guorui sat down with a smile.

Lu Fei looked at a grain of rice on the edge of the plate, picked it up and put it into his mouth to taste it.

"Fei Fei is such a good child. She knows how to cherish food at such a young age!" Seeing this scene, Lu Weimin, Li Jing, Sister Fei, Xiao Han and Chen Xueru all showed satisfied and happy expressions.

The other three children nearby were also searching for the rice that had fallen on the table, and they also wanted to win their parents' praise.

After dinner, Lu Weimin's family did not choose to go out for a walk. In the face of the current difficult society, most ordinary people even struggle with hunger.

Even in the city, many residents barely make ends meet, and those who can go out to play after eating are rare and easily attract attention.

Especially now, with Chen Xueru and her child living here, except for Lu Weimin, all the other people are beautiful women or children, which is more likely to attract the attention of others. Therefore, it is a wiser choice to adopt a more low-key attitude towards life.

In short, it is always better to be cautious. Fortunately, my home is equipped with various sports equipment such as table tennis tables, basketball courts, treadmills, etc., so I can do physical training without going out.

When night falls, it becomes the best time for Lu Weimin to enjoy his personal time.

There is no need to worry about whether Li Jing can adapt. Because university canteens are also facing challenges now. It is not easy to provide for thousands of students.

Therefore, it is recommended for local students to go home for dinner at night. As a result, Chen Xueru and Xiaohan helped take care of Li Jing at night. However, this also reduced the daily study and review time much more than before.

Considering the need to go to bed early, it can be said that this is a mixed bag of pros and cons.

This night,

Lu Weimin was still immersed in reading and learning, and was slightly obsessed with gaining some new knowledge.

After more than half an hour, his wife had called him to stop several times.

"Okay!" Lu Guorui put down the book in his hand and stood up.

There is both sweetness and bitterness.

Of course, the suffering here is not just the pressure of dealing with beautiful women.

But we lose the freedom to learn without any restrictions.
