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

When he opened the Selected Works of Mao again, Lu Weimin was no longer an indifferent reader. It was as if he had personally experienced those days full of dangers and excitement. Every word was filled with vivid people and events.

Lu Weimin reread the Selected Works of Mao in the same way, not blindly pursuing grades, but devoting himself to it. He found that his skills improved significantly:

【Language proficiency +100】

[Political Understanding +100]

[Military Knowledge +100]

[Political and religious ability +100]

[Philosophical Perception +100]

The original expectation was only a slight improvement, but the actual effect was a hundred times greater than before.

When he was immersed in the text, he suddenly found that these benefits were not the usual small increase, but jumped to an astonishing value. He was extremely surprised and couldn't help but exclaimed in his heart: "Oh my God!" Then he suddenly realized that the reason for the increase in reading benefits was his change in attitude. Previously, he regarded Mao's Selected Works as a tool to improve his level, but this time he read it with a purely appreciative attitude, which inadvertently brought rich results. This made him deeply realize that reading is not only about acquiring knowledge, but also about understanding the author's mind and resonating with it. Thinking of this, Lu Weimin's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and he realized the charm of reading.

Thinking of the teacher's lifelong obsession with books, his collection of 94,763 books, and his special liking for traditional Chinese historiography, which he had studied countless times, Lu Weimin was greatly inspired. He decided to buy the Twenty-Four Histories and the Comprehensive Mirror for Aid in Government and savor the knowledge contained therein.

Just as he was about to turn to the next section,

Cheng Zhihan opened the curtain and walked in and said, "Brother Weimin, does this new dress suit me?"

When did Xiaohan come in? And she changed into new clothes? I didn't even notice it because I was so absorbed in reading.

"It's so beautiful! It's so beautiful!" Lu Weimin's eyes lit up. Xiaohan looked so charming in the new clothes.

At that time, the clothes worn by ordinary people were still varied, which was very different from the monotonous, plain and conservative style later on. In Lu Weimin's memory, the most profound thing was Chen Xueru's sexy and charming cheongsam.

Compared with the clothes of the courtyard residents in 1965, this change is simply earth-shaking. For example, Lou Xiao'e, the daughter of the wealthy businessman Lou Zhenhua and the owner of half of the city, was also very rich at the time, but her clothes were similar to everyone else, very simple, like a girl next door.

At this time, Cheng Zhihan heard Brother Weimin praising her for looking beautiful in her new clothes, and she felt very happy. "Brother Weimin, I have another set, what do you think of it!" she said excitedly.

Lu Weimin found it a pleasure to watch Xiaohan try on new clothes, and nodded happily: "Okay."

Cheng Zhihan closed the curtain and began to change her clothes while Lu Weimin waited patiently.

Not long after, Cheng Zhihan came out wearing another skirt.

This was not the last new dress, there were several more. After changing back and forth several times, Lu Weimin thoroughly enjoyed a visual feast.

When he finished looking at all the clothes, he couldn't help but sigh: Xiaohan is only thirteen years old, but she looks so good in clothes. How outstanding will she be when she grows up!

As soon as I returned to the factory, I was urged to get married.

the next day.

Lu Weimin rode his bike to take Xiaohan to school, and then went back to the machine repair shop to work.

When he walked into the workshop, Master Ma and Master Cao were very happy to see him. Master Ma came over and gave him a hug: "Haha! Weimin, you are finally back to work! I really missed you!" Then, Master Cao also came over to hug him and said with a smile:

"During the time you were away, Master Ma kept asking why you hadn't come to work. Yesterday he even said it had been half a month, so why hadn't you come back yet?"

"It's great now, you're finally back!" "Master Ma doesn't have to nag about you anymore, and I don't have to listen to those complaints. It's great to have someone to work with again!"

Seeing the sincere smiles of his two old colleagues, Lu Weimin also said happily: "I was originally planning to go to work yesterday, but because I had something to deal with, I postponed it to today. Thank you for your hard work, both masters, during my absence."

"Then let's go out for a good meal tonight?" Master Ma and Master Cao were very happy to hear that Lu Weimin was treating them to a meal. Master Ma smiled and said, "Haha, Weimin, you don't know, but I just learned by chance not long ago that you are a special consultant at Loujia Steel Rolling Mill with a monthly salary of 88 yuan. I didn't believe it at the time. Later, I checked with the team leader and it was true. I was really surprised at the time."

"I'm so proud of you, Weimin."

I was thinking that Wei Min, who is earning such a high salary, would treat me and Lao Cao to a meal. But you treated us as soon as you came back! I am so happy! "

Master Cao also praised:

"Great! Let's go out for a good meal tonight, thanks to Wei Min!"

"When I heard about your high-paying job at a Chinese steel company, I didn't believe it at first."

"After all, I've worked in a car repair shop all my life, and my salary is not as high as yours. You are really young and successful, I have to admit it!"

Lu Weimin replied:

"Actually, I don't have that many special skills. It's mainly because I helped the chairman by chance once. He was very grateful to me, so he gave me such a high salary."

Master Ma laughed after hearing this:

"Wei Min, you are being modest!"

"Do you think we don't know that you fixed the engine of the imported truck of China Steel Company? If you didn't have an extremely high level of technology, you wouldn't have been able to solve such a complicated problem. Not only did you save the company a lot of money, but you also helped the country save a lot of foreign exchange!"

Master Cao also echoed and said:

"What's even more commendable is that Weimin is not only a skilled person, but also very humble and hardworking."

"Talents like you are welcome wherever you go. No wonder our factory director and chairman think so highly of you!"

Facing the praise from his two colleagues, Lu Weimin felt very embarrassed. At this time, someone from the reception office came to inform him that the factory director wanted to see him. So Lu Weimin walked into the factory director's office.

Lu Weimin smiled and said, "Hello, Director!"

Director Zhang was very happy to see Lu Weimin, and said warmly and kindly: "Weimin, I finally see you back to work! How is your college entrance examination review going?"

Lu Weimin replied: "Thank you for your concern, Director. After half a month of study and preparation, I am full of confidence in passing the exam!"

Director Zhang said excitedly, "Great! That's what I want to hear! I like this confident attitude! I'm happy to approve your review during your vacation this time. You must remember your promise to me!"

Lu Weimin was slightly stunned. After thinking about it carefully, he was still not sure what the factory director meant, so he had to ask: "What does the factory director mean?"

Director Zhang's voice became louder. "Why? You didn't forget, did you? You promised me to help me find a match and introduce Xiao Jing to you!"

So that's what it is.

Lu Weimin felt somewhat moved:

"Director Zhang, I didn't expect you to care so much about my lifelong event. I really don't know how to thank you!"

"Of course! Xiao Jing is a very good girl, I'd be very happy to go on a blind date with her!"

Director Zhang was very satisfied with Lu Weimin's response: "Haha! This is the right attitude!"

"Wei Min, it's not just because Xiao Jing's parents and I are good friends."

"The more important reason is that I am very optimistic about you. I think you two are a perfect match. It would be a pity if you two didn't end up together."

"Hey, I know Xiao Jing has very high standards. She doesn't like ordinary guys, so she still doesn't have a boyfriend."

"But I can see that she is interested in you. If you take the initiative and pursue Xiao Jing boldly, you will have a great chance of winning her over."

"Let me tell you, if you can marry Xiao Jing, you will really have found a treasure! You will definitely not regret it, and you will even thank me for being the matchmaker."

Lu Weimin nodded and said, "Sister Jing is indeed a good girl!"

"Since you know she is a good person, you should pursue her more boldly."

"She's a girl, so she's bound to be a little shy. As a boy, you have to be braver and can't wait for girls to take the initiative. Just like me back then..."

Director Zhang became excited and told the story of how he chased his current wife. At that time, she didn't like him very much, but he didn't give up, and went forward bravely, and finally won her heart and lived a good life.

Lu Weimin stayed in the factory director's office for more than an hour, then left because he had to go to the bathroom urgently and went to the nearby toilet.

After going to the toilet, when I passed by a sycamore tree, I suddenly heard a buzzing sound coming from above my head, and I couldn't help but look up.

The phoenix tree stood tall and straight, with a beehive as big as a pear hanging on its branch like a wall clock in the distance.

"Honey? That's good. I have to take it home so that I can increase the variety of my personal belongings. In addition, the animal taming skills and methods of communicating with animals that I learned before have never been used. Maybe I can use them here to train bees to work for me." Lu Weimin looked around, used his Qinggong skills to climb up the tree, and took off the beehive.

It was time to get off work soon.

Master Ma laughed happily and said, "Haha, we're finally off work! Let's go to a restaurant outside for dinner!"

Master Cao asked, "Master Ma didn't drive, did he? Do you want to take my car, or Wei Min's?"

Master Ma smiled and said, "Of course I'll ride in Weimin's new car! Your old car squeaks when I sit in it, and I'm worried that it will fall apart halfway and I'll fall to the ground!"

Master Cao laughed and scolded, "Master Ma, you are such an ungrateful guy. You always praised my car for being comfortable and stable on the road, but now you are saying this? You can never get on my car again!"

"If you don't let me sit, then don't sit! Anyway, I can still take Wei Min's car!" Master Ma continued.

Lu Weimin, who was watching with a smile on his face, knew that Master Ma and Master Cao had a very good relationship in private, and that this bickering was just a common joke and they were not really angry.
