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

The two families began a warm exchange.

Yan Jiecheng's wife Huang Xinghua looked at Li Jing's growing belly with some envy.

"Engineer Lu, I heard that you have obtained a master's degree now?" Yan Bugui asked with a smile.

"That's true! When I'm not busy with work, I took the exam to get a master's degree just for my own entertainment." Lu Weimin responded with a smile.

Faced with such a statement, Yan Jiecheng was somewhat puzzled: "Master's degree? What does this mean?"

“A higher education than college!”

Yan Bugui glanced at his son's ignorance with dissatisfaction, and then continued excitedly: "I heard Director Wang from the street office mentioned that in our community, only Engineer Lu has obtained such a degree. Director Wang is very proud of this!"

"Is it really that awesome?" Yan Jiecheng was extremely shocked.

In Yan Jiecheng's mind, a university degree was already an unattainable dream, and he had never thought that such a high level of academic qualification existed.

Yan Jiecheng sincerely admired Lu Weimin's achievements and was amazed at the talent of this uncle next door. Other neighbors who came upon hearing the news all showed surprise and yearning, especially because this unique master's degree was born in their circle of life, and as neighbors they also felt extremely honored.

Yan Bugui suddenly thought of something and added hastily, "I almost forgot to tell you something, Chief Engineer Lu. The day before yesterday, a man named He Yongqiang came to your house and said he had something to ask you!"

Lu Weimin, who was about to head to the Intermediate Court, stopped because of this. He turned around and replied, "Did He Yongqiang come to see me? Thanks for the reminder. I will contact him when I get back."

The news spread very quickly in the courtyard. Soon, all the neighbors knew that Lu Weimin had won a master's degree. As everyone knows, even Lu Weimin's original university ** had established an extraordinary image in the hearts of the residents of the courtyard. Today, he has gone to a higher level and become a master's student. This undoubtedly shocked everyone who knew about it, and filled them with admiration and envy.

Of course, some people also felt different emotions. Jia Dongxu and his wife Qin Huairu, who had always been unwilling to accept the situation, could only describe their feelings as bitter after hearing about the incident. After all, as time went by, the gap in life between neighbors became larger and larger. Especially when they saw the pregnant figure of Lu Weimin's wife Li Jing, the couple felt more complicated emotions.

After dinner, Lu Weimin and his family went out for a walk together. The neighbors were envious of them when they saw such a happy family.

On the way back from his walk, several younger generations from neighboring families came to ask for teaching methods. Lu Weimin enthusiastically answered and supported all the inquiries from these younger generations.

Everyone's wishes are fulfilled here and everyone is in a good mood.

As night fell, it was his wife's turn to take a bath. For safety reasons, Lu Wei took on this responsibility. Since she became pregnant, his wife's body has gradually become bloated. In order to avoid accidentally falling when she was alone in the bathroom, when she lived with her family in the past, Sister Fei and her younger sister helped her take a bath. But here, as a husband, he naturally had no choice but to accompany her.

After bathing, Lu Weimin devoted himself to his academic studies again.

When night falls, after his wife falls asleep, Lu Weimin calms down and practices meditation.

As his spiritual consciousness was released again and again, this ability was gradually strengthened without his noticing.

The next morning, Lu Weimin rode his bicycle to He Yongqiang's residence.

As soon as He Yongqiang saw Lu Weimin, who introduced him to the girl, he immediately complained: "Weimin, do you think I am wronged? I have such a big house, but our whole family is always hungry and our stomachs are empty! This house looks beautiful on the surface, but is actually useless. I should have just thrown it away."

Lu Weimin raised his eyebrows slightly: "Yongqiang, you came all the way to the courtyard to find me, not just to complain about the house, right?"

He Yongqiang nodded and praised: "As expected, you have been to college, so you are smart! Oh, no, I remember Old Yan once mentioned that you were doing something else, it seemed very profound?"

Lu Weimin smiled and explained: "I am doing my master's research."

"Yes, that's the master's degree. Although I don't know what level it is, I just know it's pretty impressive!" Although Lu Weimin found it a bit funny to hear his master's degree being referred to as a 'level', he didn't think too much about it. After all, the other party's education level was not high: "I'm a little busy today, just tell me what you want to see me about!"

He Yongqiang looked around vigilantly, lowered his voice, and said seriously: "To be honest, this house was originally the inheritance left by my father, but I have always felt that I don't like it here and don't want to live here at all. I would rather take my wife back to Niulanshan to live. However, life in the countryside has not been easy recently, and many people have died of hunger. This situation is still worsening. If it continues like this, my family will probably not escape the bad luck. Therefore, I want to come back and sell this house. For me, not only is it uninhabitable, but it is also empty and ghostly at night, which makes people feel scared. I want to sell it for something practical. However, I have tried several times and have not been able to find a suitable buyer. Some prices are not suitable, and some conditions cannot be agreed upon. I remembered that you are my benefactor. Not only did you introduce a virtuous wife to me, but you also helped me sell the furniture last time, so this time I also want to seek your help. With your assistance, the problem should be solved."

Hearing these sincere words, Lu Weimin recalled the experience that he had benefited greatly from before, and his face became slightly hot. He coughed lightly and said, "I can help you, but you must clearly state the price and conditions you want to sell it for!"

He Yongqiang whispered his price and his request to exchange part of the price in kind. After listening to He Yongqiang's conditions, Lu Weimin understood why the house was not selling well: although the price was reasonable, it was extremely difficult to find a buyer willing to accept the exchange in kind during this period of extreme material shortage, and the number of people who could provide these materials was extremely limited. In addition, in the current social context, most people have not yet realized the future value of land and real estate.

However, as a visionary, Lu Weimin knew that the Siheyuan would appreciate in value in the future and that he could afford the corresponding costs. However, he also considered that doing so might bring certain risks. However, from a long-term perspective, these risks are relatively small and can be completely avoided through appropriate means.
