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

"Okay!" Xiao Han nodded. She felt Brother Wei Min's care for her and rode her new bicycle warmly in front.

Lu Weimin followed behind.

It attracted countless envious glances along the way.

Xiao Han became happier and bolder as she rode, and she rode faster and faster: "Brother Weimin, come and catch up with me!"

"Okay, I'm coming after you. Be safe and watch the road!"

They chased each other along the way, and their laughter spread like silver bells.

It has become a beautiful landscape on the road.

Many passers-by who witnessed this scene still remember it vividly many years later.

After getting a little tired from riding, the two returned home.

Lu Weimin and Cheng Zhihan pushed their bicycles into the courtyard.

The neighbors in the courtyard opened their eyes wide when they saw Xiaohan pushing a new car in.

Yan Bugui was surprised: "Wei Min, how come Xiaohan also has a car? Is it a new one?"

Lu Weimin replied, "Yes, it's new! Sometimes I don't have time to take Xiaohan to school, and it's hard for her to walk.

So as soon as I got my salary, plus the bonus from Lou's Steel Mill, I scraped together enough money and bought her a bicycle."

After hearing what he said, the neighbors were very surprised: it was really a new bicycle, and Wei Min bought it for his sister!

At that time, most families did not have bicycles, but Wei Min's family already had two, and this living standard was far beyond that of ordinary people.

Neighbors like Yan Bugui and Aunt Wang were very envious.

"Wei Min is so nice to Xiao Han!"

"That's right! Wei Min is such a good brother!"

"Xiao Han is so lucky to have such a brother!"

Xiaohan felt very happy when she saw the envious eyes from the neighbors around her.

What made Xiaohan even happier was that, just as the neighbors had said, Brother Weimin was especially kind to her. Lu Weimin and Xiaohan parked their bicycles at the door and then walked into the house.

When the neighbors heard that Lu Weimin's family had bought a new car, they all rushed to see what was going on.

Everyone stood at the door, pointing and talking, full of envy. Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu looked jealous:

"This Lu family kid is really too much! His own family is in such a difficult situation and he doesn't help others. He would rather spend money to buy such a luxurious but useless bicycle!"

Yi Zhonghai shook his head: "Lu Weimin actually bought another bicycle? A child without parents is spending money recklessly!"

"That's right! Lu Weimin used his salary and 500% bonus to buy the car! When he goes to school, he will have no income. He will regret it if he has to support his sister's education!"

When Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu heard this, their eyes lit up:

"Indeed! Once this kid has spent all his money, he'll realize how powerful we are!"

Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu were looking forward to the day when Lu Weimin would run out of money. Yan Bugui, who heard all this, also felt that the neighbors' views made sense.

If Lu Weimin really spent all his money, he would not be able to afford to rent his own copy of Selected Works of Mao Zedong, and he would lose some income every month.

Yan Bugui happened to have something to talk to Lu Weimin about, so he wanted to mention these things. He walked into Lu Weimin's house.

At this time, Lu Weimin was the only one in the room, and Xiaohan went to play with He Yushui.

Yan Bugui explained to Wei Min with an embarrassed expression that he had gone to make an appointment for a blind date with his student Chen Xueru today, only to find out that she already had someone she liked and the blind date could not go ahead.

"Wei Min, I was inconsiderate this time and made you happy for nothing! I sincerely apologize to you!"

After hearing what Yan Bugui said, Lu Weimin had a strange expression on his face. "It's okay! It's not your fault."

Seeing that Lu Weimin was not angry, Yan Bugui was very satisfied and continued:

"Wei Min, didn't you buy a new car? Many neighbors are talking about how you shouldn't spend money recklessly.

You know, if you stop working after you get into college and lose your source of income, you still have to support Xiaohan. If you spend all your money at that time, what will you do when you have no savings or income in the future?"

Lu Weimin understood the concern of his neighbors, but he himself did not have any financial problems, so he replied:

"Uncle Yan, what you said makes sense. I will save some money in the future." After chatting for a while, Yan Bugui left.

Soon after, Zhuzi, Xiaohan and Yushui arrived with food. After dinner.

As usual, Lu Weimin took Xiaohan and Yushui for a walk, and Shazhu also went along.

Xiao Han and He Yushui were playing and joking in the front, while Lu Weimin was chatting with Sha Zhu: "Zhu Zi, when are you going to see your dad?"

"Liu Lan has been urging me to announce our relationship as soon as possible and hold a wedding banquet." Sha Zhu replied, "I have bought a train ticket for this Saturday night and it is expected to arrive on Sunday morning! I hope to find my father and bring him to attend my wedding."

Is it Sunday? What a coincidence, I also have a blind date on that day.

After the walk, Lu Weimin returned to the house and took out a medical book to continue studying. He was now very interested in prescription medicines.

On a blank sheet of paper he wrote down the remedies he was considering for different ailments. These remedies had not yet been tested, so it was unknown how well they worked or whether they had side effects.

[Medical skills increased] [Medical skills increased]

Next, he studied martial arts books. Although he couldn't exercise in the house, he firmly believed that reading could also bring great help. [Increase in martial arts skills]

Time flies and the night passes quietly.

(dbfj) The next day, Xiaohan rode her new bicycle to school, to the envy of her neighbors, and caused a lot of discussion when she arrived at school.

Soon after, Lu Weimin came to the workshop and started working. Not long after, Director Zhang called him into the office to discuss the blind date for the weekend.

Director Zhang suggested: "For the blind date on Sunday, I originally suggested booking the Qianmen Hotel, which is more upscale. But the other party insisted on choosing the Red Star Restaurant.

Although Red Star Restaurant is not bad, it is not as good as the former one after all. But if the woman insists on saving some money for you, then go to Red Star Restaurant. "

Hearing this, Lu Weimin felt warm in his heart - in fact, only he knew why the other party insisted on choosing the Red Star Hotel. It turned out that it was the restaurant where he and Li Jing had their first date, and Li Jing therefore had a special emotional connection with it.

Half an hour later, Lu Weimin said goodbye to the factory director, walked out of the office and returned.

Another day passed and night gradually fell.

It was almost dinner time, and Sha Zhu prepared a meal in advance, preparing to take his sister to Baocheng by train.

So Lu Weimin drove Xiaohan on his motorcycle. Shazhu drove Xiaohan's new bicycle and took his sister Yushui. The four of them left their yard and went to the train station together.

"Where is Shazhu going with his bag on his back and his little sister by his hand?"

"He said they were going to Baocheng together to look for their father, Old Man He."

Train station entrance.

Xiao Han and Yu Shui bid farewell to each other reluctantly, and the friendship between the two girls has already taken root and flourished. The farewell between the men was even simpler, and it was immediately completed with a few fist bumps.

Lu Weimin said to Sha Zhu: "Brother Zhu, please be careful on the road! Have a safe trip." Sha Zhu said gratefully: "Thank you so much, Brother Weimin."

Yu Shui said to them, "Goodbye, Brother Wei Min, Sister Xiao Han."

And they responded: "Xiao Han, goodbye rain!"

Watching Shazhu and Yushui's figures gradually blurring away, Xiaohan's eyes suddenly turned red with sadness.

"What happened?" Lu Weimin stroked her head lovingly.

"Missing the rain?"

"You are so sensible. Don't worry, the rain will come back soon to play with us. Let's go back to our home."

The next morning.

Nearly twenty minutes in advance, Lu Weimin arrived at the private room of the Red Sun Restaurant as scheduled and waited. Not long after, Director Zhang also arrived.

Director Zhang was wearing a brand new Zhongshan suit and his beard was shaved very cleanly. It was obvious that he took this blind date very seriously.

Director Zhang said with a smile: "Wei Min, I didn't expect that you, the 'male' elder, would arrive earlier than me!"

Lu Weimin said gratefully: "Uncle Zhang, thank you so much for caring about my blind date!"

Director Zhang smiled and responded, "I'd love to! I'm so excited to think that I can help you two accomplish something great!

"Oh, I almost forgot to tell you about some things about the girl's family. You have to pay attention. Xiaojing's father died heroically on the battlefield in the north last year. Mentioning her father later will make them sad, so don't mention it. Remember, Xiaojing's mother's surname is Zhang, you can call her Aunt Zhang..."

Only then did Lu Weimin learn that Li Jing's father had passed away, and died in the line of duty. He couldn't help but feel awe for him.

It probably took a few minutes.

There was the sound of a car outside the door.

Director Zhang immediately smiled and said, "They should be here! Are you nervous?"

Lu Weimin took a deep breath: "I'm not nervous!"

Director Zhang nodded with satisfaction: "That's right!"

Then I heard the waiter's voice leading the way, getting closer and closer, and soon the door of the private room was pushed open.

Lu Weimin immediately stood up and looked, his eyes immediately brightened:

Li Jing wore a white dress today and an exquisite pink hair accessory on her head, which added a touch of tenderness and gentleness to her usual heroic beauty.

She was holding the arm of a noble woman.

The noble lady had an elegant temperament, long hair, and her face was quite similar to Li Jing.

If Lu Weimin hadn't known that Li Jing was an only child, he would have mistaken this noblewoman for her married elder sister. It was hard to believe that she was her mother.

While Lu Weimin was looking at Li Jing and her daughter, Li's mother was also looking at him.

Seeing that it was the young man who had picked up her daughter last time, the mother couldn't help but smile. It seems that her daughter has good taste!

Coincidentally.

It all happened very quickly.

Li Jing, who was always steady, blushed shyly when she saw Lu Weimin, and said half-jokingly: "Weimin, it turns out that my blind date is you!"

Director Zhang and Mother Li beside them immediately laughed when they heard it.

The atmosphere suddenly became lively.

After a cordial greeting.

Everyone took their seats.
