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

"I have something to do this afternoon, so I can't go with you. When you get to No. 101 Middle School, just go find Principal Sun and tell him my name."

Lu Weimin expressed his gratitude again, and soon the food was served.

During the whole meal, Li Jing hardly spoke. She ate very elegantly without wasting any food.

After Lu Weimin paid the bill, he walked out of the restaurant with Li Jing.

Li Jing turned to look at Lu Weimin and said, "Thank you for treating me to a meal! I haven't eaten out for a long time!"

Lu Weimin smiled and said, “You’re welcome!”

"The leaders of No. 101 Middle School are all having lunch now. It's useless for you to go too early. We still have some time anyway, so why don't we just take a stroll?"

Lu Weimin nodded and said, "Okay!"

The two walked along the street.

We got along very comfortably and chatted casually.

"Will we look leisurely while taking a walk?" Lu Weimin thought to himself.

Passersby on the road looked at them with envy, and the young couple became a beautiful sight in everyone's eyes.

Lu Weimin and Li Jing did not notice this and were just enjoying their stroll.

…… ...

Principal Sun: What is your relationship? Xiaojing is so concerned about you!

By the afternoon.

Lu Weimin came to No. 101 Middle School.

This is not his first time here.

Cheng Zhihan also goes to school here.

After registering at the gate, Lu Weimin went to the principal's office.

Principal Sun was a middle-aged woman in her fifties. She was answering the phone. When she saw Lu Weimin coming in, she smiled and said, "He's here...Okay, that's it!"

"Your name is Lu Weimin, right? Please sit down first. What is your relationship with Xiaojing? She is very concerned about your college entrance examination application and has called me several times!" Principal Sun smiled.

"We are friends. Sister Jing is very kind to me. Thank you, Principal Sun, for taking the trouble to register for my college entrance examination!"

Lu Weimin understood that when he entered the room, Principal Sun was on the phone with Li Jing. Although Li Jing could not accompany him due to work, she was always thinking about this matter, so she called Principal Sun. Thinking of this, Lu Weimin felt grateful.

Principal Sun said:

"According to the notice issued by the Ministry of Education, high school graduation is required to register for the college entrance examination. However, this is not an iron rule. Some students failed to complete high school for various reasons, but their knowledge is not inferior to that of high school students. Such special cases can be handled specially by applying to the Ministry of Education. After approval, you can also get an admission ticket and take the college entrance examination. Since you were recommended by Xiao Jing, you must be quite capable, so I don't need to test you again. I will write an application for you now!"

Lu Weimin was overjoyed after hearing this, "Thank you so much, Principal Sun!"

Principal Sun took out an application form and handed it to Lu Weimin: "Please fill in your personal information first." "Okay!" Lu Weimin took the form and filled it out carefully.

After finishing, he checked it again and again, and only handed it to Principal Sun after confirming that it was correct. "Done!"

Principal Sun took a closer look and said with a smile, "I didn't expect your handwriting to be so beautiful!"

"Principal Sun, you are too kind!" Lu Weimin responded modestly.

"What is your relationship? Xiaojing seems to care about you very much!" Principal Sun asked with a smile, while taking out a pen and starting to sign the form, and finally stamped it with the school seal.

"Done! I will submit this application. Once it is approved, I will let Xiao Jing contact you to get the admission ticket!"

"Thank you very much, Principal Sun!" Lu Weimin was very happy.

"Xiao Jing is such a nice girl. We must cherish such friendship!" Principal Sun said meaningfully.

Lu Weimin was slightly startled, "Thank you!"

After leaving the school, Lu Weimin was in a very good mood. Although he still had to wait for the approval of the Ministry of Education and had not yet received the admission ticket, based on past experience, as long as Principal Sun was willing to help him apply, the matter was already more than half successful. Even if the subsequent procedures were just routine, he believed that getting the admission ticket would not be a problem. Even if there were any problems, he had already prepared other alternative plans. On that day, Lu Weimin did not go to his master to practice martial arts, nor did he go home, but went directly to Lou's Steel Rolling Mill.

As soon as I arrived at the factory gate, the guard Lao Chen came out with a smile on his face: "Master Lu, I finally saw you! This morning, I called the factory using the office phone number you gave me before, and I found out that you had taken a half-month leave. I was really anxious at the time, and I was planning to go to your house to see you after get off work tonight. Fortunately, you are here now!"

"Did Baocheng write to you?" Lu Weimin was immediately pleasantly surprised.

"Yes, there really is a letter. Take a look and see if it's this one?" Old Chen took out a letter from his pocket.

Lu Weimin took it and looked at it. It was indeed a letter from Baocheng, and the signature was "He Daqing".

Although Lu Weimin did not open the letter, he could roughly guess what was inside.

Anyone who has watched the original series knows that although He Daqing left his two children behind and eloped with the widow, he still sent money home every month after settling down for the first few years. Principal Sun said: What is your relationship? Why does she care so much about your affairs!

At that time, Sha Zhu was not yet an adult, and even if he got the draft, he could not go to the bank to withdraw the money in person. So He Daqing chose to trust his neighbor Yi Zhonghai in the same community and entrusted him to withdraw the monthly living expenses for the two children.

Unexpectedly, when Yi Zhonghai received the remittance slip, he did not tell Sha Zhu, but kept the money for himself. It was not until many years later, when he was brought back to He Daqing by Xu Damao, that Sha Zhu understood the whole thing. Lu Weimin also roughly guessed the intention of Yi Zhonghai's doing this: it was nothing more than for the consideration of retirement.

In addition to the Jia family, Sha Zhu was also regarded by Yi Zhonghai as a guarantee for his future retirement. If Sha Zhu had received and used the funding from He Daqing, their lives would not be as difficult as they are now. Then, Yi Zhonghai would have lost all opportunities to take advantage of the situation and gain the other party's gratitude and dependence.

Of course, embezzling these funds was only part of the plan;

A more far-reaching plan also includes Yi Zhonghai using his own resources to arrange for Sha Zhu to work in Lou's Steel Plant. In this special era, having a good job is particularly valuable.

He successfully arranged for Sha Zhu to work as a chef in the steel plant, and gained his great trust and reliance.

In this drama, with the help of this, Yi Zhonghai has long controlled Sha Zhu's life and made him obey his orders.

Whenever there was some phenomenon of disobedience to management, he would order Sha Zhu to settle the situation or even take action, such as the repeated bullying of Xu Damao.

As for appealing or exposing this behavior? There is no such possibility.

Through his position as "Yi Da Ye" and the influence of the deaf old woman, Yi Zhonghai wove a set of rhetoric to protect Sha Zhu. In this way, a stable restrictive relationship between the three interest groups was formed to control the order of the entire community.

Now that Lu Weimin has come into this world, he doesn't want to see such a solid little circle continue to operate without being stopped.

The first step was to expose Yi Zhonghai's true nature and cause the two to completely sever their relationship. The opportunity was the letter in his hand:

"Master Yi came to ask about the letter at noon. Because the letters basically arrived at this time in the past few months, he came to check as soon as the letter arrived. Considering that I promised to help you intercept this letter before, I didn't give it to him."

"But I can't delay too long; otherwise, if he finds out that I intercepted and hid the letter and reports it, I will face severe punishment."

Seeing that Lao Chen was willing to take this risk to help him withhold Master Yi's letter for a day, he was sincerely moved and said, "Can you hold it for another day? Then give the letter to Yi Zhonghai after lunch tomorrow."

After a moment's hesitation, Lao Chen replied: "Extending it for half a day is also feasible!"

Lu Weimin smiled gratefully and said, "Thank you so much for helping me solve this problem, Brother Chen. If you need help from me in the future, just let me know!"

Old Chen knew that Lu Weimin was extraordinary, and was very happy to hear his promise. Lu Weimin left Lou's Steel Rolling Mill and went to Hongbin Building. After waiting for a while, Sha Zhu came out.

"Silly Zhu!" Lu Weimin shouted hurriedly.

When Sha Zhu heard the voice, he turned around and saw that it was Lu Weimin, and was shocked on the spot.

Since that night, when Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu were caught by Lu Weimin, he has been afraid of seeing Lu Weimin. When he is at home, he always looks through the window to see if there is anyone outside before going out. He will go out only if he does not see Lu Weimin. Even if he only sees Lu Weimin from a distance, he will take a detour. If he cannot avoid him, he will bite the bullet and go up to greet and please him. Unexpectedly, Lu Weimin actually came to Hongbin Building this time.

Did Lu Weimin come here to cause trouble? Was he planning to report what I had done to the leaders of Hongbin Building? Thinking of this, Sha Zhu felt uneasy.

"Brother Weimin, what do you want to talk to me about?" Sha Zhu said with a smile. Lu Weimin asked loudly:

"Have you been avoiding me on purpose lately?"

As soon as these words came out, Sha Zhu was flustered and shook his head hastily to deny it: "No! Brother Weimin, please don't misunderstand me! Why would I hide from you?"

"In that case! Then come with me, I have something to say to you!" After saying this, Lu Weimin left without worrying that Sha Zhu would follow him.

As expected, Sha Zhu followed closely behind.

After a few minutes, Lu Weimin stopped and looked at him and said, "Shazhu, do you know where your father He Daqing is now?"

"I don't know!" Sha Zhu was very surprised by the sudden mention of his father, but he answered honestly. Lu Weimin had expected that Sha Zhu didn't know the whereabouts of his father.

Because He Daqing had not been away from home for long, it was normal for him to avoid Sha Zhu from looking for him and not reveal where he was. The plot of the TV series shows that Sha Zhu took his sister He Yushui to Baocheng to find He Daqing, which means that he got the information about his father later, not the current situation.

"Do you miss your dad?"

"Do not want to."

"why?"
