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

"Don't bother. I'll go find him at the machine shop."

Chen Xueru was a little disappointed to learn that Lu Weimin was not there. After some consideration, she decided to go to his house in person to ensure a better chance of meeting him.

Lou Zhenhua asked with concern: "Did you come here by bicycle?"

Chen Xueru shook her head: "I walked here. I don't like riding a bicycle."

Lou Zhenhua added: "The sun is very strong today. It's quite a distance to the machine repair shop. I'm afraid you'll be tired if you walk there. Let me arrange a car to take you there."

Chen Xueru said happily: "Thank you so much, thanks to Mr. Lou's help!"

Lou Zhenhua smiled and said, "We are friends, this is nothing! Please sit for a while, I will call and arrange a car for you."

About ten minutes later, the cars arrived. Chen Xueru stood up to say goodbye. Before leaving, Lou Zhenhua asked her: "Xueru, what do you think of my brother Weimin? If you are interested, I can help you make some connections."

Chen Xueru looked at Lou Zhenhua with a little surprise and said, "I'm worried that Wei Min won't accept me."

She turned and left the room. Lou Zhenhua, who stayed where he was, said to himself, "It's totally unexpected that my brother could win the heart of the most beautiful female entrepreneur in Beijing!"

Chen Xueru walked out of the gate of Lou’s Steel Rolling Mill and saw a jeep parked outside. She walked up to it and said a few words, then got in.

It is indeed much faster to take a car than to walk. Soon, the car arrived at the machine repair shop.

After getting off the car, Chen Xueru looked up at the sun and thought to herself that it was fortunate that Director Lou sent someone to drive her here, otherwise she would have been exhausted after the journey.

She did not go into the machine repair shop, but waited outside the door. Such a pretty girl standing there attracted the curious eyes of many passers-by.

Time passed little by little, and finally it was time to get off work, and the workers walked out the door one after another.

Chen Xueru took a few steps forward nervously, staring at the door.

When the workers passing by saw her, they all exclaimed: "What a pretty girl! Who is she waiting for?"

"It's so rare to see such a beautiful girl who knows how to dress up. I'm so lucky today!"

"Could she be the girlfriend of someone in our factory? That person is so lucky!"

As they were talking, Lu Weimin just walked out. Chen Xueru waved excitedly, "Weimin! Here!"

Lu Weimin, who had just walked out of the door, looked at Chen Xueru in surprise. He didn't expect that she would come here to find him.

The co-workers around him looked at him with envy: this most beautiful female boss actually came to see him in person, which was indeed something to be envied.

Seeing more and more people stopping to watch, Lu Weimin quickly walked towards Chen Xueru and urged her, "Hurry up and get in the car!"

"Oh!" The beautiful and strong woman who was usually famous on Qianmen Street was very docile and obedient in front of Lu Weimin and got into the car.

Lu Weimin rode his bicycle and took Chen Xueru away quickly, leaving behind many envious glances.

This was the first time that Chen Xueru sat on the back seat of a boy's bicycle. She didn't like riding or riding a bicycle before, but now she was very happy.

In her joy, she suddenly hugged Lu Weimin's waist tightly and felt a softness on her back.

Lu Weimin was a little surprised and thought that this girl was really bold.

"Xue Ru, what are you doing? So many people are watching."

Chen Xueru murmured softly: "Anyway, no one can see my face, I covered it. This is a small punishment for you not coming to see me for so long after the college entrance examination."

Lu Weimin was stunned for a moment after hearing this. Probably no one would resist such a "punishment", right?

At this time, he thought of one of the houses left to him by his master Tian Deren not far away, so he suddenly made a sharp turn and turned into a small alley.

"Oh my!" Chen Xueru screamed in fear, hugged him tighter, and said aggrievedly:

"Lu Weimin, you are trying to scare me on purpose, right? You want to throw me off, right? How could you do this!"

Lu Weimin looked back at Chen Xueru, his eyes full of tenderness and apology: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. How could I bear to let you get hurt."

The aggrieved expression on Chen Xueru's face disappeared in an instant, and she was deeply moved. "I forgive you!"

Lu Weimin stopped in front of a residential building and observed it carefully for a while, thinking that this should be the right place! Chen Xueru asked in surprise: "Brother Weimin, how did you find my house?"

Lu Weimin looked at Chen Xueru, a little surprised, "Is this house yours?" Chen Xueru pointed to the house next to her and said, "To be precise, that house should belong to me. But now I live closer to the store, so I rarely come here."

Only then did Lu Weimin understand that they were talking about two different houses, but they were connected to each other.

At this moment, Chen Xueru saw Lu Weimin taking out the key, and suddenly realized something. She said excitedly: "Weimin, do you live here too?"

Lu Weimin shook his head: "This is my house, but I don't live here! Let's go in and take a look first!" After that, he opened the door and pushed the car into the house, followed by Chen Xueru.

Chen Xueru shouted excitedly: "Brother Weimin, I never thought that our houses would be next to each other! This is our fate! When we get married in the future, we can connect the houses and then the house will definitely become bigger!"

When Lu Weimin heard this, he paused for a moment. After parking the car, he looked at Chen Xueru and said, "Xueru, come here. I have something to tell you."

Before Chen Xueru went to find Lu Weimin, she already felt something was not right because Lu Weimin did not take the initiative to look for her after the college entrance examination.

But she was unwilling to give up, so she mustered up the courage to find Lu Weimin.

Now seeing his expression and tone, the ominous premonition in my heart became stronger, and I couldn't help but shake my head pitifully: "I won't go over unless what you say to me satisfies me!"

Seeing Chen Xueru like this, Lu Weimin felt a little distressed, so he walked towards her quickly, "Xueru, listen to what I have to say first."

Chen Xueru covered her ears and started to act coquettishly: "I don't want to listen! I don't want to listen!" Chen Xueru usually has a strong personality, but this attitude is only directed at suitors and strangers.

When facing her beloved, she is just a girl who longs for love. After all, she is only 18 years old.

It was the first time that I loved a man so deeply, but I was worried that I couldn't win his heart, so I couldn't help but feel anxious and worried.

Seeing Chen Xueru's appearance, Lu Weimin couldn't help but feel pity for her and couldn't help but hug her. Chen Xueru's body trembled, and she also hugged Lu Weimin tightly, raised her head and said:

"Brother Weimin, I like you! Let's get the marriage certificate!"

Lu Weimin looked at the expectation and panic on Chen Xueru's beautiful face. Although he couldn't bear it, he still had to tell the truth: "Xueru, I like you very much, but..."

When Chen Xueru heard the three words "like it very much", her body trembled with excitement.

Unfortunately, there are two more words "but"! We must not let Brother Weimin continue talking!

She quickly reached out and covered Lu Weimin's mouth:

"Brother Weimin, as long as you like me, nothing else matters! From today on, I am your woman!"

Lu Weimin was stunned. He hadn't finished speaking yet and was about to move Chen Xueru's hand away to continue.

Unexpectedly, Chen Xueru held it tighter and begged, "Brother Weimin, can you listen to me first?" Seeing that Chen Xueru was about to cry, Lu Weimin felt sorry for her and nodded. Chen Xueru whispered:

"Brother Weimin, I know that besides me, there are other girls who are interested in you, maybe more than one.

This actually doesn't surprise me.

A handsome and capable guy like you will definitely be loved by many people. Every time I muster up the courage to confess to you and hope to develop a relationship with you, even though you didn't agree, I already had a hunch that I might lose.

But I really can't accept it because I like you so much!

I confessed my love to you again and couldn't help kissing you secretly. You said you would give me an answer after the college entrance examination.

At that time, I thought that if you had no feelings for me, you should just reject me directly and not bother about it. So I believe that you still have me in your heart, just to a different degree, and I am very happy and hope to be your choice.

Those days before the college entrance examination were like years for me.

In order to stop thinking about you all the time, I go out early and come back late every day, busying myself with this and that, but it's of no use at all.

Every night when it’s quiet, I toss and turn in bed, with you in my mind.

The thought of possibly losing you forever makes me so sad that I can't help but want to cry.

I said to myself, I am no worse than anyone else, I should still have a chance. Maybe you will choose me.

Finally I passed the college entrance examination, I'll wait for you to come find me.

But I waited and waited but there was no news from you.

I thought I knew the outcome.

I once asked myself, if I was not chosen by you, could I let you go.

But I found that I couldn't do it at all.

So I decided to come to you and find out the reason.

Now I have the answer and my own plan.

Before I tell you my decision, I want to tell you a little about my family.

My grandfather married four concubines.

Thirteen children were born, eight of them were boys, four of them devoted themselves to the ** and sacrificed their lives. I am the only daughter on my father's side. My father also had three concubines.

Although my father had three concubines, he treated everyone equally and they all got along well with each other.

After the founding of New China, a new marriage law was promulgated.

For families like my father's, the new law gives them the right to choose, rather than forcing them to separate. The new marriage law stipulates that if a woman no longer wishes to maintain a marital relationship, she can file for termination regardless of whether the man agrees or not.

Therefore, my father's concubines did not choose to leave, but moved to the countryside to live a low-key life. My mother was one of them.

My mother always said that even though my father had more than one wife, life was still happy.”

Perhaps because I grew up in such an environment, I am not opposed to polygamy. I think the key is to truly love each other. Of course, the current law does not allow this. Since the law prohibits marrying multiple women, there is no need to get married! It's just a piece of paper. It doesn't matter whether it exists or not. As long as we can be together, it's good.

Brother Wei Min, what I want to say is, as long as you have me in your heart and treat me well, I will be satisfied. You don’t have to care whether we get married or not. I am willing to accompany you and take care of you all my life!

I hope you understand my thoughts. I simply cannot survive if you reject me.

After Chen Xueru finished speaking, she slowly released her hands that were covering Lu Weimin's mouth, waiting for the decision of fate. After hearing Chen Xueru's affectionate confession, Lu Weimin was deeply shocked and moved.
