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

"I knew it! You, kid, are really a perfect match for someone so smart and capable!"

Li Jing felt very happy listening to Aunt Zhou praising her lover.

Aunt Zhou then asked: "What does your boyfriend do for a living?"

Li Jing replied: "He works at the machine repair factory and Lou's Steel Rolling Mill!"

Aunt Zhou seemed a little surprised: "You're doing two jobs?"

“It’s really two jobs.”

"Wasn't that hard?"

"At first I was worried that he would be too tired, but he said it was actually okay. Although he had two jobs, one of them was very easy and he only had to go once a month, and the salary was still full."

Aunt Zhou said with envy:

"This is the first time I've heard of someone getting two salaries a month! Is the job that you only go to once a month paying less, and the other one paying more?"

Li Jing smiled and said:

“That’s what I thought at first.

Actually quite the opposite.

He said that the job that he only had to go to once a month actually paid more, 88 dollars a month, while the other job only paid 25 dollars a month! "

Aunt Zhou widened her eyes in surprise:

"What? Eighty-eight dollars in salary? If you add the twenty-five dollars, wouldn't that mean you can earn more than a hundred dollars a month?"

Li Jing was also very happy to see Aunt Zhou's expression and said proudly:

"Yes, his total monthly salary is indeed more than 100 yuan. But then again, he will take the college entrance examination soon and go to college after the exam."

"Giving up a salary of more than 100 yuan to go to college? What a pity!

Even college students may not be able to find such a high-paying job!"

"He was able to find such a good job before he even went to college. How could he not find a better job after graduating from college, with his ability and education?"

"makes sense!"

As the sky gradually darkened, Li Jing said:

"Auntie Zhou, it's getting late. I need to go home, or my mother will be worried. Can you do me a favor?

I haven't told my mom about my boyfriend and I yet, and I want to give her a surprise, can you not tell her or anyone else for now?"

Aunt Zhou smiled and agreed: "Don't worry, I will never tell anyone! But you must remember to invite me when you hold your wedding!"

Li Jing nodded and said, "That's for sure!"

the next day.

Lu Weimin rode his bike to the examination room.

Since he had visited the examination room before, he was familiar with everything. He showed his admission ticket and found the examination room smoothly.

After finding his seat and sitting down, Lu Weimin took out his admission ticket and checked it.

The admission ticket clearly states the subjects to be tested each day and the time schedule: 1952 National Summer College Entrance Examination.

(Beijing District) August 15:

7:30 to 9:10: Chinese.

9:30 to 11:10: Mathematics.

This means that I will have to take two consecutive exams in the morning, namely Chinese and mathematics, and two more in the afternoon, namely chemistry and history and geography.

The examination schedule is very tight.

But Lu Weimin didn't think this was a problem. As the exam got closer, the invigilator began handing out Chinese test papers.

Lu Weimin flipped directly to the essay topic reflexively.

You can choose to write about something new or an article about joining the arms of the country.

So far, the development of history has not changed its trajectory because of my appearance. The exam has begun.

With the level of CET-6, this test paper was a piece of cake. It is really reassuring to have done enough preparation.

The feeling of being relaxed and at ease was really great. In the blink of an eye, three days had passed and I finally finished the exam.

Just came back to the courtyard house.

Then I heard Sha Zhu bring good news: after celebrating his birthday yesterday, he and Liu Lan got their marriage certificate today!

In 1997, they got married in the same year and entered the bridal chamber on the same day!

After Lu Weimin finished his exam, he did not go home directly, but went out to buy some supplies. Of course, he was very relaxed and happy at the moment.

That's right, although he was very confident before the college entrance examination, he didn't take it after all; now he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although the results have not yet been announced, it is certain that he will get into a university this time, so he is in a particularly good mood.

University, here I come!

When shopping, Lu Weimin was very happy to see the cash decreasing and the supplies increasing. This was completely opposite to other people's ideas. Most people always wanted to have more cash in their hands, unlike Lu Weimin who did the opposite.

After finishing shopping, Lu Weimin returned to the courtyard. All the neighbors in the courtyard knew that Lu Weimin had taken the college entrance examination today, and except for a few people, they all hoped that he could be admitted to university.

When Yan Bugui saw Lu Weimin coming back, he immediately went up to him and asked, "Weimin, how did you do in the exam?"

Lu Weimin smiled and said, "It should be no problem to get into university!" Yan Bugui said happily:

"That's good! We're finally going to have college students in our compound!

This also adds luster to the compound, and the children will have role models to learn from in the future, and everyone's grades will definitely get better and better."

Lu Weimin nodded and said, "I believe there will be more and more college students in the compound in the future!" Of course, this was just encouragement.

Anyone familiar with the original plot knows that there are no college students in this courtyard. But since my arrival has brought about changes, won't a miracle happen?

When Yan Bugui heard this, his face was full of smiles. He thought that his youngest son Yan Jiewei was quite good at reading and writing, and maybe he would have a chance to get into university.

Just when Lu Weimin was about to enter the inner courtyard,

Yan Bugui asked hurriedly, "Wei Min, after the college entrance examination, it's time to put the blind date arrangement for you on the agenda, right?"

Lu Weimin said: "Since I have promised you, I will naturally go on a blind date. But things have to come first. I have other plans now. I will tell you after that."

Yan Bugui felt a little troubled after hearing this. Generally speaking, many blind dates are not always successful.

But he thought that if Lu Weimin met Li Jing first, there would be problems. Li Jing's conditions were too good.

So Yan Bugui asked anxiously: "Wei Min, who is your blind date?"

Lu Weimin said: "I don't know yet, how can I know!" and then left.

Yan Bugui was left with a helpless look on his face. My red envelope can't be given away for nothing.

Another neighbor aunt laughed:

"Wei Min, the exam is over. How did you do?"

As soon as I entered the yard, I smelled the fragrance of food coming from home.

Jia Dongxu was standing by the faucet holding a stick, while Qin Huairu was washing sweet potatoes. When they saw Lu Weimin, they immediately turned their heads away. After Lu Weimin entered the room, Qin Huairu frowned and asked, "Dongxu, do you think Lu Weimin can pass the exam this time?" Jia Dongxu replied with a sullen face, "A person as selfish as him, who doesn't even help his neighbors in need and even takes revenge on his own, it's really unfair if such a person can get into college! Don't worry, he won't be able to get in."

Hearing this, Qin Huairu smiled: "You're right!" As soon as Lu Weimin entered the room, Xiaohan and Li Jing immediately looked at him: "Brother Weimin is back!"

"Wei Min, dinner will be ready soon!"

From their looks, Lu Weimin could tell that they really wanted to know his test scores. However, the two people who cared about him the most did not ask directly because they cared more about his mood.

After all, not everyone can do well in the college entrance examination. If you don’t do well, you will feel sad when you are asked about it. Lu Weimin naturally didn’t want to disappoint those who care about him, so he smiled and took the initiative to say: "I have good news to tell you all. I performed well this time, and there should be no problem in getting into college!"

Xiao Han and Li Jing felt relieved after hearing this, and their faces were filled with joy: "That's great!"

"I knew Weimin would do well in the exam. Look, the food for celebration is ready!" Their smiles at that moment made Lu Weimin unforgettable. Feeling the care from others made him feel warm, and he said gratefully, "Thank you!"

At this time, Sha Zhu's loud voice came from behind: "Brother Weimin, I heard that the exam is over today. How do you feel?" Lu Weimin turned around and looked at Sha Zhu, and found that Sha Zhu was dressed very handsomely today and looked excited. It seemed that he had encountered some happy event. Lu Weimin smiled and said, "Yes, I finally finished the exam, and I feel pretty good!"

"That's good! Brother Weimin, can you come out with me for a while? I have something to tell you!" "Okay!"

Lu Weimin followed Sha Zhu out. Xiao Han pouted and muttered, "Sha Zhu is so secretive. What can he say that we can't hear?" After Sha Zhu took Lu Weimin into the house, he looked at the door furtively and then closed it. Lu Weimin felt a little amused when he saw this and was looking forward to what Sha Zhu would say.

After closing the door, Sha Zhu walked up to Lu Weimin and said excitedly, "Brother Weimin, Liu Lan and I got our marriage certificate today. I am now a family man!"

It turns out that Sha Zhu is married, no wonder he is so happy. Lu Weimin is also happy for Sha Zhu: "Sha Zhu, congratulations! You are now married!"

"If it weren't for you, Brother Weimin, I wouldn't be able to live the happy life I have today. I will never forget your kindness. You are closer to me than my own brother!"

Sha Zhu's face was full of gratitude, and his feelings were very sincere. Lu Weimin gently patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Zhu Zi, I am happy to see that your life is getting better and better. When are you going to bring Liu Lan back? How are you going to arrange the wedding banquet?"

"Han Da" smiled and said, "I plan to take my sister to Baocheng to find my father and ask him to come back to attend my wedding with Liu Lan."

Lu Weimin nodded and said, "We should indeed go find our father. With his blessing, the wedding will be even more perfect! But what if we can't find him?"

Han Da replied, "If I can't find her, I'll take Liu Lan home and have a simple banquet. I'll share some wedding candies in the yard and invite everyone to have fun."
