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

Our lives will definitely get better and better in the future.

But I haven't agreed yet, and I want to ask your thoughts.

"

"Li Jing has a really good eye! She was able to tell so quickly that you, Xiao Zhihan, have a talent for dancing.

"

Lu Weimin was quite surprised but also agreed with Li Jing's opinion.

He grew up with Cheng Zhihan and of course knew that little Zhihan loved dancing since she was a child. She often danced alone in the fields like a beautiful swan. In addition, little Zhihan was tall and pretty, so it was no wonder that Li Jing was interested in her talent.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "I understand that you are passionate about dancing, and the work of the art troupe seems to be suitable for you, but don't you plan to continue studying? You are just a child, just turned thirteen!"

Cheng Zhihan was slightly stunned. After wandering around, she had never thought about having another chance to receive an education. "Will there ever be a day when I can go back to school?"

"If you are willing to enter school again, I will do my best to help you find ways to realize your dream!"

Cheng Zhihan stared into Lu Weimin's eyes and asked, "Brother Weimin, do you want to continue to go to school or join the art troupe?"

Lu Weimin felt that Zhihan was still young and should not terminate her studies too early. He had a magical auxiliary system, so it would be no problem for him to support her and be self-sufficient. There was no need for the young Zhihan to give up her studies just to earn living expenses and join the art troupe:

"You are still very young, I hope you can concentrate on your studies! You don't have to worry about your livelihood, I will take care of everything!"

A warm feeling surged into Cheng Zhihan's heart, and she felt that Brother Wei Min really treated her well with all his heart.

"Then I will do as you say and continue my studies!"

Hearing these words, Lu Weimin nodded with satisfaction.

Then,

[Reputation +1]

[Reputation +1]

[Reputation +1]

【…】

"That's weird. How come the reputation points increased so much all of a sudden? Is he praising me?"

Lu Weimin looked around.

I just happened to meet the eyes of Station Master Wang of the rescue station and the repairman.

Meng Jianjun waved his hand at Lu Weimin with a look of joy on his face, and shouted, "Thank you, Lu Weimin! I will go on with my mission, and see you later!"

After saying this, Meng Jianjun left.

Stationmaster Wang walked forward with a smile, looked at Cheng Zhihan and nodded approvingly, then turned to Lu Weimin and said, "Your name is Lu Weimin, right? I'm Stationmaster Wang of this rescue station. I heard that you can repair cars?"

Could this be the opportunity the system was talking about!

Knowing that an opportunity had come to him, Lu Weimin nodded with a smile: "Hello, Stationmaster Wang, I did learn many years of auto repair technology when I was back home. Not only auto repair, but I also know a little bit about general mechanical maintenance!"

"Hey?" Cheng Zhihan, who was standing aside and listening, was a little confused. "When did Brother Weimin learn how to repair cars? Why don't I know about this?"

But even though she felt puzzled and surprised, Cheng Zhihan didn't say much. After all, just because she hadn't seen it with her own eyes didn't mean that Brother Wei Min hadn't learned it, and it was impossible for the two of them to be together all day long.

"Not only can you repair cars, but you can also operate machinery?" This is simply a gift from heaven! The station director was delighted and said, "Great! The new country was established not long ago, and all walks of life are in urgent need of various professionals. Since you can repair vehicles and machinery, this is definitely a skill that the country needs. You can stay here temporarily, and I will help you find a job suitable for repairing vehicles.

Wait for my good news!"

When Lu Weimin heard that he could stay in the capital, he was overjoyed.

He knew that the rescue station could not support the daily expenses of the vagrants for a long time, and except for a few people with special skills, most of them would be sent to work on farms, gravel factories or brick factories.

Lu Weimin was still a little worried: "What about my sister? She is only thirteen years old and can't work at all.

Mom and Dad have passed away, can't she stay here with me?"

* Chapter 5 - Refuge and Adventure *

Cheng Zhihan was also very worried about being separated from Brother Weimin, so she unconsciously held Lu Weimin's arm and looked at the director with pleading eyes.

This girl is so charming, like a poem or a painting.

"Wei Min, I'm afraid you haven't understood our resettlement principles. If a person is lonely and helpless, he or she will be sent to the Red Sun Welfare Primary School to study and live.

According to regulations, your sister should be sent to a welfare school given her age; but since she still has her brother to take care of her, she is not truly helpless.

Once you find a stable job, you are no longer considered a refugee. You can provide your sister with the necessary living support and she can continue to live here!"

"Thank you so much, Director Wang!" Upon learning that she would be able to stay with Brother Wei Min, Cheng Zhihan immediately smiled in a good mood.

This also made Lu Weimin feel relieved and happy.

Director Wang couldn't help but say, "This little girl is so beautiful! She is even more charming when she smiles!"

Hearing others' praise made Cheng Zhihan shy again.

I glanced at Brother Wei Min secretly and found that he had no reaction to the compliments. I pouted my lips and felt a little angry.

......

Recently, more and more citizens have come to Keisei to escape natural disasters, and the previously set up shelters can no longer cope with such a large number of people.

After discussing with relevant units, the station director decided to let some of the victims live in the homes of nearby citizens first, while Lu Weimin and his sister would live in a two-bedroom courtyard house.

A woman and her child lived in the courtyard.

Everyone accepted the wandering brothers and sisters in a friendly manner and learned that they would live here for a short period of time.

There are only mother and son living in this household.

The mother is about fifty years old and her name is Mrs. Chen; the son is about twenty years old and unmarried.

The mother and son admired the handsome looks of the brother and sister! Especially when they saw the beautiful Cheng Zhihan, their admiration was self-evident.

Cheng Zhihan was not pleased with the young boy's gaze.

But since I was going to stay in someone else's house for the night, I shouldn't show any unhappiness and just forced myself to smile.

And Lu Weimin also keenly noticed this subtle situation.

While Cheng Zhihan was in the bathroom, Aunt Chen asked Lu Weimin questions frequently, most of which were about Cheng Zhihan: How old was she? Was she engaged? She also said to herself that even if she was engaged, it didn't count at a time like this when she was homeless.

Ah!

No need to doubt.

The mother and son were obviously interested in this "sister".

There's nothing that can be done about it, since this "sister" is so outstanding, pretty and elegant, with some of her features making her look more mature than her actual age.

……

Walking out of the alley, Lu Weimin stopped Cheng Zhihan.

"Zhihan, how about changing places? Find another place to spend the night?"

Cheng Zhihan said happily: "Okay! I also feel uncomfortable staying here.

So, Brother Weimin, you think so too.

"

“Then find a place to stay quickly.

"

Lu Weimin knew very well that the military management during this period was extremely strict and that one was not allowed to move around at night. Any inappropriate behavior would be regarded as a suspect; so he had to find a place to spend the night before it got completely dark.

Although she didn't know where to stay that night, Cheng Zhihan was not anxious at all.

As long as Brother Wei Min was by her side, she felt very safe and at ease.

[Leg strength +1]

[And so on]

Haha! Moving your legs actually has benefits, this model is awesome!

Lu Weimin quite approves of this model.

He gently moved his mind and checked the current data board:

[Runner Level 2: 246/500]

[Auto Repair Skill 2: 123/500]

……

pretty good!

He was quite pleased with his achievements as shown on the data board.

"Brother Wei Min, look, someone is coming towards us... Brother Wei Min, I'm talking to you." Cheng Zhihan was walking when she suddenly saw several patrolling soldiers coming quickly towards them. She panicked and grabbed Wei Min's clothes.

Lu Weimin finally came to his senses and looked over.

There was a line of patrol officers walking towards him.

Is it so strict during the day? Even walking on the street will lead to investigation?

This surprised Lu Weimin.

When he saw the faces of the group of people, he found that one of them looked familiar.

It turned out to be Squad Leader Huang, whom I had met in the reception camp.

"Ha! Aren't Wei Min and your sister in front?"

Squad Leader Huang said with a smile,

"Hello, Squad Leader Huang, you are still on patrol.

"

"Of course, in addition to maintaining order at the rescue station, my other task is to patrol the surrounding areas! It's getting late, and curfew is about to be implemented. You can't wander around at will. When I saw you coming, I was worried that you might not understand the rules, so I specially reminded you!"

Because Squad Leader Huang had a good impression of Lu Weimin, he immediately approached the Weimin siblings when he saw them during patrol.

After thanking him, Lu Weimin explained, "Originally, Stationmaster Wang had arranged a place for us to stay, but that family had an unmarried man of marriageable age, and we were worried that it would be inconvenient for us to live together, so we left and prepared to find another place to stay for the night!"

Even though Lu Weimin's words were quite tactful, Squad Leader Huang immediately understood the reason as soon as he glanced at Cheng Zhihan's face.

In fact, many unmarried older men in the capital married women who fled their hometowns due to the disaster.

It is possible that this family saw that Cheng Zhihan was unmarried and pretty, and mistakenly thought that Stationmaster Wang had other meanings.

Squad Leader Huang said, "You can't wander around without a place to stay at night. How about this? I'll find you another place to rest!"

Lu Weimin and his sister were very happy after hearing this: "Thank you very much, Squad Leader Huang!"

Squad Leader Huang arranged two soldiers to continue the guard duty, and then led Lu Weimin and his sister to a resident's home.

The family they visited was a young couple who owned two houses.

The male protagonist is named Chen Sheng and his wife is named Xiaojuan. Both of them are very enthusiastic and kind.

Lu Weimin and his sister were both satisfied with this.

"Captain Huang, I'm very grateful that you helped me and my sister find a place to live!" Lu Weimin said as he saw Captain Huang off.

"Haha! No need to thank me.

I sincerely hope that you can settle down in Beijing; you are an outstanding young man, very much in line with my ideal!"

Squad Leader Huang smiled and patted Lu Weimin on the back.

"I will do my best! Thank you very much for your support and encouragement, Squad Leader Huang!"

"Very good! See you next time!"

Then, Squad Leader Huang left.

Lu Weimin looked at him on his journey and felt warm in his heart.

Soon after, night enveloped the entire capital city.

Lu Weimin thought it would be great if he had a flashlight! At this moment, the following message appeared on the panel:

[Improved night vision]

[Improved night vision]

【…】

Lu Weimin let out a sound of surprise!

The letter of introduction has been received!

“Wow, even my night vision has improved!”

Lu Weimin was extremely happy.

The male owner's surname was Chen, so Lu Weimin lived with him; while Cheng Zhihan shared a room with Xiaojuan, the female owner.

In the girls' room, the following situation occurred:

Cheng Zhihan walked into the room just after taking a shower and changing clothes.

Xiaojuan's eyes suddenly lit up: "My dear, you look so good! How old are you now?"

"Sister, I'm already thirteen years old!"

"This... is already so pretty, what will she be like when she grows up!" She looked at her daughter ** and the girl in front of her with shock - hiss!

This was the first time Cheng Zhihan witnessed a woman feeding her children, and her face turned red.

I always feel something is strange.

In the next room,

When the lights went out, everything instantly became pitch black.

However, Lu Wei**'s panel showed:

【Improve night vision】

【Improve night vision】

【…】

Lu Weimin said to himself: "It's time to start upgrading again!"

[Night Vision Level 1: Progress 65/100]

【Auto Repair Skill Level 123: Progress 500/】

[Professional long-distance running ability level 276: Progress 500/]

Lu Weimin exclaimed: "This night vision is so powerful! Even though I haven't reached the first level, it has more than doubled my vision!"

The feeling of continuous evolution is so pleasant.

Lu Weimin tossed and turned, unable to sleep, with thoughts flooding into his mind.

Then, he couldn't help but recall the car repair process he witnessed during the day and the knowledge about auto repair that suddenly popped up that day.

Improve your auto repair skills

【Improve auto repair capabilities】

[Auto repair skills are strengthened again]

……

Is this true? You can advance by revisiting your auto repair skills? This is really an unexpected gain!

so happy!

The updated personal attributes are as follows:

[Dark Vision Skill Level 1: 81/100]

[Auto Repair Skill Level 2: 146/500]

[Long-distance runner level 2: 276/500]

……

Suddenly,

There was a sound of dogs barking outside.

Wow wow wow!

"There's a dog next door? It's so noisy!"

Lu Weimin's hearing seemed to become more sensitive.

[Hearing +1]

[Hearing +1]

[Hearing +1]

【…】

"My hearing has improved? At this rate, won't I become a superman?"

He realized that his hearing had improved significantly, and he was delighted.

"Hmm! Do you want to find out if Xiaohan next door is asleep?"

"No! You can't do this kind of thing. Just go to sleep!"

……

Woke up the next day feeling refreshed.

Thinking about work matters, Lu Weimin was worried, fearing that when he left, the station manager would find a job for him and would not be able to contact him.

He took Cheng Zhihan to the shelter early in the morning.

The station manager was very happy to see Lu Weimin and his sister, "It's a good thing you're here, Weimin. I've arranged a job for you.

I was planning to come see you in the afternoon when I was free, but I didn't expect you to come by yourself. It couldn't be more perfect!"

Cheng Zhihan was also very happy to learn that Brother Wei Min had found a job.

This situation surprised Lu Weimin a little. He didn't expect the matter to be resolved so quickly. It can be seen that the stationmaster attaches great importance to finding a job for him. He is extremely grateful in his heart: "Stationmaster, you are so troubled. Thank you so much.

I really didn't expect that you would accomplish something for me today that I mentioned last night.

"

“Don’t be so polite! You are a fine talent and should not be ignored.

As the stationmaster, in addition to providing relief to the people, he is also responsible for discovering talents who can contribute to the country.

Besides, you not only helped my nephew but also took credit for his success.

It is rare to find someone who has both the ability and the good character to selflessly help others.

So I put a lot of effort into this matter.

"

Lu Weimin expressed his gratitude again.

"Oh yeah! I've said so much but haven't gotten to the point yet.

I will write a letter of recommendation for you. With this letter, you can go directly to the person in charge of the machine repair factory affiliated to the Red Star Steel Manufacturing Plant and ask him to help you find a job.

Remember to find the person in charge, he will give me face! "

Lu Weimin knew that in this era many jobs would not be open for recruitment, and having a letter of recommendation would be of great help.
