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

When riding his bike home, he went to the nearest market and bought a wooden basin, which he tied tightly to the back of the bike. This action attracted a lot of people's attention.

When they returned to the courtyard, the neighbors saw them and started talking about them.

Lu Weimin walked straight through the middle courtyard and saw the door was open. It must be Xiaohan who came back.

The door of the neighbor's house was also open, and the aroma of food was wafting out. After Lu Weimin parked his car, he entered the house carrying a large wooden barrel.

Inside the house, Cheng Zhihan was sitting at the desk concentrating on studying. Now that Sha Zhu was cooking, she no longer had to prepare dinner after school like before, and could spend more time studying.

Hearing footsteps, Cheng Zhihan looked up and saw Brother Weimin coming back with a large wooden barrel. Her eyes lit up and she stood up excitedly and asked, "Brother Weimin, is this for bathing?"

Lu Weimin was a little surprised. He didn't expect Xiaohan to be so happy to see the wooden barrel. He suddenly remembered that since they fled to Beijing and lived in a courtyard house, he and Xiaohan could only wipe their bodies and wash their feet every day, and never went to the bathhouse to take a bath. It didn't matter that he was a boy, but he ignored the needs of girls.

Cheng Zhihan may have felt that it was inconvenient to take a shower, so she never mentioned it, perhaps because she was worried that it would affect his preparation for the exam. What a sensible girl!

Thinking of this, Lu Weimin felt a little guilty and said softly: "Yes, I bought it specially for you to take a bath!" "Great, thank you, Brother Weimin! You can take a bath tonight!" Cheng Zhihan shouted excitedly.

"You can keep this barrel!" Lu Weimin planned to buy another one to soak the herbs. Cheng Zhihan immediately said:

"Why put it in my room? Brother Weimin, you also need to take a shower, and my room is small and it will be crowded. Can you put it in your room and come over when you need it?" When she said this, Cheng Zhihan's face flushed slightly, as if she realized the difference between men and women.

Thinking about it, what she said made sense. The room was small to begin with, and putting a big wooden barrel would indeed take up space, so I agreed: "Then put it here."

Cheng Zhihan was very happy: "That's great! I feel good when I think about taking a comfortable bath at night!" Lu Weimin looked at Xiaohan's happy look and smiled: "I'll take you to the bathhouse to experience it when I have time!" "No need, a wooden barrel at home is enough, it's convenient and clean." Lu Weimin nodded in agreement: "That's right."

Then, Lu Weimin got up and went next door.

When I entered Shazhu's house, I found Qin Huairu there, holding her child and chatting with him. Qin Huairu was really shameless, always coming to ask for food.

Many years later, even though he has grown a lot, Sha Zhu is still no match for Qin Huairu, not to mention that he is only a 17-year-old boy now. It seems that Sha Zhu and Liu Lan must be together as soon as possible. When Sha Zhu has a wife, Liu Lan will take care of Qin Huairu, and Qin Huairu will no longer think of taking advantage. When Qin Huairu saw Lu Weimin come in, her smile disappeared immediately, and she lowered her head and ran out. Sha Zhu was worried that Lu Weimin would blame him, so he quickly explained:

"Brother Weimin, I don't want to care about Qin Huairu, but she insisted on coming in, and she was holding the child. I can't force her out! I..."

Lu Weimin patted Sha Zhu on the shoulder and said with a smile:

"I understand! I understand! Qin Huairu is just like that, just like her mother-in-law, shameless. But you have to remember, no matter how she comes to you, if you can drive her out, drive her out; if you can't drive her out, don't be nice to her and don't have anything to do with her. Otherwise, it will definitely affect your future search for a partner."

Seeing that Lu Weimin did not blame him, Sha Zhu grinned happily and said, "Brother Weimin, I understand!"

"Okay, thank you for making dinner. When it's ready, just ask Xiaohan to come and get it!"

"Don't bother Sister Xiaohan so much. I'll send it to you two when it's done."

"Okay!" Lu Weimin nodded.

Seeing that it was not yet time for dinner, Lu Weimin began to arrange the curtain. After choosing a good location, he hammered two nails into the wall. After hammering the nails, Lu Weimin shook the nails gently with his hands to make sure they were firm and prevented from falling. Then he pulled a rope between the two nails and hung the curtain. In this way, the curtain was installed.

"Wow! I can finally take a hot bath tonight. I'm so happy!" Cheng Zhihan clapped her hands excitedly, stood by to help hold the stool, and kept tiptoeing.

From her reaction, we can see that Xiaohan really likes taking a bath. Lu Weimin said with a smile:

"To take a bath in this big wooden barrel, you need to fill it with at least two-thirds of water. Now I have to start boiling water! Fortunately, I have a big pot at home that can boil a lot of water at once. But it's not enough. Tomorrow I'm going to buy a new coal stove and a big pot, so that I can boil water much faster."

"Let me start boiling water now!" Cheng Zhihan quickly moved the big pot and started filling it with water.

More than an hour later. Sha Zhu's cooking skills were good. Lu Weimin and Xiao Han were full. They and Cheng Zhihan were going to go for a walk. Sha Zhu and his sister were sitting at the door to eat.

Sha Zhu had been staring at Lu Weimin's house. When he saw Lu Weimin coming out, he immediately stood up and asked enthusiastically:

"Brother Weimin, my cooking skills are okay, right? Is the food tasty?"

"Look, my stomach is full, of course it's delicious! Your cooking skills are great, keep up the good work!" Lu Weimin patted Sha Zhu's shoulder and said.

After hearing these words, Sha Zhu was very happy and said that he would develop more new dishes for Lu Weimin and his sister to taste.

Seeing this scene, He Yushui put down the bowl and ran out:

"Brother Weimin, Sister Xiaohan, where are you going for a walk? I want to go too!"

Hao Congming said, "Yushui, are you not going to eat the porridge in your bowl?"

"I'll eat when I come back!" He Yushui said, and left with Lu Weiming and his sister.

"This girl just loves to play!" Hao Congming looked at his sister's leaving figure and showed a loving smile.

Qin Huairu spread the news everywhere, and as a result many neighbors knew that Hao Congming was now helping Lu Weiming's family prepare dinner.

As the aunts were discussing, they noticed that Lu Weiming and his sister and He Yushui had left the yard. One of the aunts shouted to Hao Congming:

"Congming, I heard that you helped to cook dinner for Lu Weiming's family!" Hao Congming nodded: "That's right."

"How much do you get paid a month?" "Not a penny!"

"How can this be possible? This is so stupid!"

Hao Congming said proudly, "I am happy and I am honored for this! People who are not good at cooking are not qualified to cook for Brother Wei Ming. He is willing to eat the food I cook, which means he recognizes my cooking skills!"

The neighbors were speechless: "How stupid!"

"That's really stupid! How can you do things without asking for anything in return?" However, some neighbors have different opinions:

"I think he's too smart not to take the money. He must have secretly taken the payment to do this so that he wouldn't be killed!"

"That's what I guessed too. Even though he's smart, who in this yard could have taken advantage of him? Except Qin Huairu."

"Indeed! Only Qin Huairu can benefit from this. I wonder why Congming treats her so well. Could it be that the two of them..."

"Ahem!" An old lady noticed that Jia Dongxu was looking at them with a stern face, and quickly signaled the old lady who was talking to stop talking.

Jia Dongxu had a quarrel with his wife as soon as he got home.

Qin Huairu was so aggrieved that she was about to cry. Her original intention was to break up the relationship between the two, so she deliberately spread the news that Congming helped Lu Weiming's family cook. Unexpectedly, not only did it fail, but she was also implicated.

More than an hour later, He Yushui and Cheng Zihan chased and played into the inner courtyard.

Lu Weiming followed behind with a smile on his face. Seeing the two of them having fun, his mood also improved. When he got home, the water on the gas stove was already boiling.

Lu Weiming poured the water into a large wooden basin and covered it tightly with a lid to reduce the rate at which the water temperature dissipated. He then filled the kettle and continued heating it.

"We have to wait for a while before there is enough hot water. You can go back to your room and read first. I'll go wash my body and soak my feet." He said to Cheng Zihan.

Cheng Zihan asked curiously: "Brother Weiming, taking a bath is very comfortable, don't you want to take a bath together?" Lu Weiming explained:

"Let's take a bath together after we buy a new coal stove and a big pot. Now we only have one stove and a big pot, and it will take a long time to boil the water in the big wooden basin."

Cheng Zihan said seriously:

"Brother Wei Ming, if you don't want to use the bath water I've already used, then you can wash first! I don't mind using the water you've already used."

After hearing this, Lu Weiming was slightly stunned, and a warm current surged in his heart. He immediately replied: "Zi Han, I don't mind your bathing water, but..."

"That's good! Let's take a bath tonight. It's very comfortable!" Cheng Zhihan's eyes sparkled.

Seeing Cheng Zhihan's expectant and excited look, Lu Weimin knew that he couldn't refuse the kindness of this innocent girl, "Okay then! You take a bath first, then it's my turn."

"Great! I'll go get some clean clothes!" Cheng Zhihan smiled happily, turned and walked out of the room.

While Cheng Zhihan was away, Lu Weimin quickly entered the space he carried with him, took out half a bucket of spiritual spring water, and poured it into the wooden barrel.

He then took out his college entrance examination review materials and devoted himself to studying, hoping to improve these two courses to level six tonight.

While I was concentrating on the book, Cheng Zhihan came in with clothes. She moved a stool and sat next to the coal stove to read, watching the water in the pot boil.

After the water boiled, she did not disturb Lu Weimin who was concentrating on his studies. She lifted the pot and poured the boiling water into the bucket, then added the cold water she had prepared in advance. She tested the temperature and felt it was just right, so she shouted to Lu Weimin: "Brother Weimin, the water is boiled!"

Hearing the call, Lu Weimin realized that Cheng Zhihan had returned to the room. He stood up and walked to the bucket to check the water temperature, reminding: "Let me check the water temperature. Don't let it be too hot or it will hurt your skin!"

Lu Weimin put his hand into the water and said, "The water temperature is just right, you can take a bath!" Before he finished speaking, Cheng Zhihan suddenly covered her stomach:
