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

"The door is not locked, Brother Weimin, just come in!"

Lu Weimin pushed the door open and walked in.

The room was filled with a warm atmosphere.

He Yushui had already fallen asleep on the bed, while Cheng Zhihan was still reading a book.

Lu Weimin walked over and whispered, "Are you still studying? Don't be too tired, go to bed early!"

Cheng Zhihan's beautiful face showed determination and confidence: "I don't feel tired! I like studying! I want to go to college like Brother Weimin!"

Lu Weimin smiled in agreement: "It's great that you have such an ambition. I believe you can realize your dream and get into university!"

"Thank you for the encouragement, Brother Weimin!"

Lu Weimin said: "Okay! I'm going to go back and get some rest! You should go to bed early too!"

Just as Lu Weimin turned around, he was stopped by Cheng Zhihan: "Brother Weimin! Can you hug me before I go back to my room? I miss my dad a little bit!" Cheng Zhihan's eyes turned red as she spoke.

Lu Weimin just then remembered that today was the anniversary of Cheng Zhihan’s adoptive father’s death.

"Of course! You can hug me anytime you want in the future!"

As he spoke, Lu Weimin opened his arms. Cheng Zhihan immediately threw herself into his arms, hugged him tightly, and began to sob.

Lu Weimin's heart was filled with infinite tenderness, and he silently stroked Cheng Zhihan's head and back.

"Brother Weimin's embrace is so warm! I really hope I can hold him like this forever!"

Cheng Zhihan felt incomparably satisfied in her heart, and her longing for her father finally subsided.

The next morning,

Lu Weimin rode along the North Canal and looked from afar.

The river is winding, like a soft silk flowing quietly in the countryside, with the breeze blowing past.

It's so beautiful! It's so comfortable!

If I have a wife in the future, I will definitely bring her here to play, it will definitely be a pleasant experience!

Thinking of this, Lu Weimin was very happy. Not long after, he came to his master Tian Deren's home.

The master hasn't come home yet.

There shouldn't be any problem, right? Lu Weimin couldn't help but feel a little worried.

It shouldn't be a problem. The master said he had something to do, so don't think too much about it.

Focus on practicing martial arts, wait for the master to return, and give him a surprise.

So Lu Weimin started training with full energy. But this time, he did not start training immediately as usual, but walked into the secret room alone for the first time.

He scanned the rows of bookshelves and boxes.

These boxes are filled with treasures, antiques, calligraphy and paintings. Some of them have not even been opened by Tian Deren, and he plans to open them one day in the future.

Although he was very curious, Lu Weimin did not go forward to open the box, but came to the bookshelf.

The bookshelf is filled with all kinds of martial arts secrets that Tian Deren has collected over the past few decades. It is amazing: Wing Chun, Shaolin, Tai Chi, Southern Fist, Eight Immortals Fist...

Liu family boxing, Cai family boxing, Li family boxing, Mo family boxing, Wu family boxing, Xue family boxing, Yue family boxing... Dragon boxing, snake boxing, crane boxing, monkey boxing, dragon-shaped boxing, black tiger boxing...

Wonderful martial arts skills, a collection of folk martial arts: Ninety-one moves to avert danger, Thirty-six unique moves in martial arts arena, secret techniques of attack and defense, Eighteen falls when clothes are touched, and Turtle-Crane Fist.

In addition, there are palm techniques, stick techniques, gun techniques, knife techniques, sword techniques, martial arts, free fighting, lifting techniques, hidden weapon techniques...

It’s incredible! Master is truly amazing.

He actually collected so many traditional Chinese martial arts treasures.

Lu Weimin was dazzled and his heart was filled with shock and admiration.

Lu Weimin picked up a Shaolin boxing manual and read it carefully.

[Shaolin Fist +1] [Shaolin Fist +1] [Shaolin Fist +1]

He opened another book.

[Wing Chun +1][Wing Chun +1][Wing Chun +1]

Just when Lu Weimin was immersed in the world of martial arts,

Sha Zhu held tightly the letter of introduction given by Lu Weimin and went to Lou's Steel Plant.

"Young man, what are you doing here?" the guard asked the dumbfounded Sha Zhu. "I'm here to find a job!" Sha Zhu replied with a smile.

"Do you have a letter of introduction?" "Yes! Yes!"

"You need to register your information before you can enter."

"Okay! Thank you!" Sha Zhu nodded and took the registration book, but was stunned.

"What's wrong?" "I can't write!"

"Can you write your name?" "I can still write my name!"

"Then write a name! I'll help you with the rest!" Finally, the formalities were completed, and Sha Zhu asked about the location of the Personnel Department and went in. On the way, he met Yi Zhonghai who had been released.

The two men stared at each other for a moment.

Yesterday, Sha Zhu's mother went to Lou's Steel Plant overnight with a letter of apology.

After obtaining approval from Lou Zhenhua today, Yi Zhonghai was released and allowed to continue working in the factory, but one month's salary was deducted and he was required to pay Sha Zhu 260 yuan.

After a long silence, Yi Zhonghai finally said:

"Silly Zhu, I know you hate me, but this is really a misunderstanding..."

"Stop! Don't talk so much! I don't want to talk to you!" Sha Zhu said with a stern face and turned away.

This attitude annoyed Yi Zhonghai, but he was confident that he had a solution:

"Silly Zhu, don't you want a job? If you reconcile with me, I'll introduce a job to you!"

Sha Zhu stopped and looked back at Yi Zhonghai: "You want to recommend a job to me?"

Seeing the effect, Yi Zhonghai said happily:

"That's right! As long as we restore our past relationship, I will introduce you to a job. With a good job, you can get married!"

"No need! I have my own job! Look!" Sha Zhu proudly shook the letter of introduction in his hand, turned and left.

Yi Zhonghai was stunned and dumbfounded.

He knew that Sha Zhu, the person he had carefully cultivated to support him in his old age, had completely gone down the drain.

After asking two workers, Sha Zhu finally came to the door of the Personnel Department, took a deep breath and walked in. "What are you doing here?" the person from the Personnel Department asked.

"I'm He Yuzhu, I'm here to apply for a job, and I've brought a letter of introduction!" Sha Zhu replied with a big smile on his face. "Then show me the letter of introduction in your hand," an aunt from the personnel department said calmly. "Here!" Sha Zhu hurriedly handed over the letter of introduction, which was already wet with sweat.

The aunt from the personnel department looked serious, her brows slightly furrowed, and she took the wet letter and unfolded it to read it carefully:

This is incredible! This is actually a letter of introduction jointly written by Consultant Lu and Chairman Lou. Consultant Lu is Chairman Lou’s confidant!

The lady's expression immediately changed, she smiled and said kindly, "Comrade He Yuzhu, please sit down, please sit down, I will process your entry formalities right away."

"Wow! I didn't expect Brother Wei Min's letter of introduction to be so powerful!" At this time, Sha Zhu was overjoyed.

About ten minutes later, the aunt from the personnel department led Sha Zhu to the kitchen of the first canteen and said, "He Yuzhu, briefly introduce yourself to everyone. From today on, we will work together."

Looking at his colleagues in the kitchen, Sha Zhu was excited and nervous: "I am He Yuzhu, a new apprentice, please take care of me!"

Half an hour later, Sha Zhu, in a good mood, left Lou's Steel Rolling Mill and went to Hongbin Building to resign...

In the past, the master always bullied the orphan Sha Zhu and made him work as a laborer for free, and he did the job smoothly and adapted well to it.

Upon hearing that Sha Zhu was leaving, his master was greatly surprised and expressed strong opposition. "I'm not going to work here anymore, so it doesn't matter whether you agree or not!" At this moment, as if he had become a different person, Sha Zhu resolutely said that he would no longer obey orders and was determined to leave. This surprised his master.

Despite this, he still did not agree to Sha Zhu's resignation. Without saying anything, Sha Zhu went directly to the general manager of Hongbinlou to argue with him, and finally successfully resigned and got his salary.

Together with the 260 yuan he had asked back from Yi Zhonghai, Sha Zhu received a total of 265 yuan in just two days. For him, this was definitely a huge sum of money.

Not only did he find a new job, but he also received such a large sum of money. Naturally, he was very happy.

So he went to the market and bought some ingredients, including a chicken, mushrooms and vermicelli, a stew, a few pounds of eggs, vegetables and tofu, preparing to make some delicious dishes - such as stewed chicken and mushroom soup and vegetable and tofu soup.

When he returned to the courtyard and passed by the yard, he saw Qin Huairu washing sweet potatoes. Seeing that he had bought so many things, she immediately stood up and stared at these items with excitement and joy: "Shazhu, did you make a lot of money? You actually bought so many delicious foods, including chicken and mushrooms? Are you planning to celebrate the New Year?"

Remembering Lu Weimin's instructions, Sha Zhu decided to have as little contact with this family as possible, so he did not stop, and quickly glanced at Qin Huairu, and continued to walk into the house, saying: "I found a new job, just to celebrate."

"I feel at ease taking Shazhu's money! Let him be my family's free chef!

"You found a job?" Qin Huairu was surprised.

In the past, if she heard that Sha Zhu had found a new job, it meant that she would have a higher income, and Qin Huairu would naturally get more benefits, and of course she would be in a good mood. But now, she clearly felt that Sha Zhu's attitude towards her had changed, and they had become more distant from each other. How could she feel comfortable?

"What happened? Why is Sha Zhu so cold to me?" Qin Huairu was confused. But despite this, she still did not give up the plan of going to Sha Zhu's place to eat something.

Humph! This time I'll take Banggeng with me to ask for some broth. I don't believe he won't give it to me. I'll find a chance to talk to Shazhu and clear up the misunderstanding. We can get along like we used to. Any good food will belong to me.

Qin Huairu couldn't help but feel happy when she thought about this.

However, her thoughts were soon interrupted. She saw Sha Zhu carrying large and small bags of food to Lu Weimin's house and never came out again.

Qin Huairu was stunned, and her expression was extremely ugly: "No way? Shazhu bought so many ingredients, is he going to cook at Lu Weimin's house? Where can I find food then?"
