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

Chapter 8 Get twice the result with half the effort

You can understand the result by observing Sha Zhu's life.

But Lu Weimin definitely doesn't want to be the next Shazhu.

At this time, Cheng Zhihan was still young after all. After listening to Qin Huairu's words, her aversion to her was obviously reduced. When she was about to speak, she was stopped by Lu Weimin with a subtle gesture, and she immediately chose to remain silent.

Lu Weimin responded: “Thank you for your concern, but the food I have at home is enough for us to eat. Please help yourself to the remaining steamed buns and sweet potatoes. You can leave now.

"

This sentence sounds like a ruthless expulsion.

Obviously, this person has no understanding of basic social etiquette and courtesy!

Qin Huairu's expression suddenly changed.

However, Qin Huairu also thought about leaving, but she couldn't help but fall in love with the rich aroma of the chicken and the attractive color, aroma and taste of the scrambled eggs and tomatoes.

"Well, Weimin, Xiaohan, please listen to Sister Qin. I actually have another important reason for this trip.

Because I have a child who is not even one year old, he is at a critical stage where he needs to get enough nutrition. However, our family is facing great difficulties relying only on my husband Dongxu's salary. We usually only have two meals a day, and most of them are coarse grains.

For adults, these may be okay, but babies need sufficient nutritional value.

We know that Wei Min and Xiao Han are extremely kind-hearted young people. They would definitely not want to see a baby go hungry or be malnourished, right?

There are only two people dining at your house, and it may be difficult for you to finish so much food and soup.

Could you give some to our children? Thank you so much! 」

coming! coming!

Now is the time for the real showdown, when the psychological pressure begins to build.

It is undeniable that this trick often works on most kind hearts.

Hearing such a statement, even Cheng Zhihan felt much softer in her heart.

His eyes turned to his brother.

However, Lu Weimin is not an ordinary character and will never easily fall into the trap set by Qin Huairu.

There is no point in reasoning with this kind of people - they always have countless reasons to refute you, and they will use all their strategies to achieve their goals.

If you argue with her, you will fall into her trap.

So Lu Weimin answered directly: "What does the nutritional status of other children have to do with me! Our food is barely enough to feed our brothers and sisters! Besides, we came all the way here hungry! Please go and don't disturb our meal!"

Facing such a vampire-like Qin Huairu, Lu Weimin certainly couldn't be friendly.

Let Qin Huairu feel ashamed,

She had never expected that the strategy that had repeatedly worked successfully on the honest man who was obsessed with her, commonly known as a "suck-up", would be completely ineffective in front of Lu Weimin.

I had to leave sadly.

Bang!

The door was quickly closed.

Qin Huairu stopped, her eyes reddened and she felt aggrieved.

At Jia's house.

Seeing their daughter-in-law coming back empty-handed, Jia Zhang and Jia Dongxu looked displeased.

"Why? The Yi family is unwilling to help?"

"It's not Uncle Yi's family who cooked the chicken soup, but Lu Weimin's family. He didn't want to give it to us..."

“That guy from outside the province has no conscience.

Our family is in such a difficult situation now, but you are unwilling to lend a helping hand. Let them regret it!" Jia Zhang was indignant and spoke angrily.

...*

17 I am amazed and in awe!

Back to the Lu family,

Lu Weimin saw that Xiaohan was a little confused.

Lu Weimin said: "Xiao Han, do you think Brother Weimin is too ruthless and unwilling to help Qin Huairu?"

"That's not true! I think Brother Wei Min must have his reasons for doing this!" Cheng Zhihan responded, but from her eyes it was clear that she didn't think so.

Lu Weimin knew that his speculation was correct. Xiaohan was young after all, so it was understandable that she didn't quite understand his decision.

Lu Weimin advised earnestly: "Xiao Han, you must remember that the world is not simple. Don't be easily deceived by people's appearances, and don't blindly help people just because they look pitiful.

Have you heard the story of the Eastern teacher and the wolf?"

“I’ve heard of it!”

"Then you understand?"

"I understand! I always believe that your choice is always correct, Brother Wei Min!" Cheng Zhihan's eyes sparkled.

"Eat the chicken leg quickly! Eat more nutritious food! You are still young and need to continue to develop and grow!" Lu Weimin gently stroked Xiaohan's head.

"Thank you, Brother Weimin!" Cheng Zhihan felt warm in her heart.

"I never thought that using this Eastern teaching story could actually improve my eloquence!" Lu Weimin couldn't help but feel happy.

After dinner, both the brother and sister felt very satisfied.

After cleaning up everything, Cheng Zhihan began to wash the dishes.

Afterwards, they went out for a walk.

night.

It was Cheng Zhihan's turn to take a bath.

Lu Weimin suddenly noticed an old book in the corner. He picked it up and found it was Romance of the Three Kingdoms. He couldn't help but start reading it.

A series of prompt sounds sounded continuously.

Congratulations on your promotion.

Trigger row reward: Possessing photographic-level memory abilities.

"Wow! This is like having a photographic memory. I don't need to memorize the content of a book, I can just memorize the entire page in my head! With this ability, maybe I can prepare for this year's college entrance examination!"

Lu Weimin's eyes lit up.

Today's university graduates will be arranged for jobs.

The life of a person who can get into college is obviously more promising than that of a bicycle repairman. People should pursue better things.

He immersed himself in reading the book again and found that the faster and more carefully he turned the pages, the faster and better his reading and writing levels improved.

Swish!Swish!Swish!

Lu Weimin was deeply immersed in this state of rapidly accumulating experience points and never got tired of it.

I didn't notice it until Cheng Zhihan walked in.

"Hey! Brother Weimin, what are you busy with?" Cheng Zhihan asked in confusion as she brought him the foot bathing water. Seeing him flipping through the book quickly, she tried to call him a few times with full of questions.

It took Lu Weimin a while to come back to his senses.

"Xiao Han, you're done washing too!" he replied.

"I'm done! I've prepared some water for you to soak your feet.

Brother Weimin, what are you doing?" Cheng Zhihan continued to ask.

"Thank you! Just put the water on the ground.

I am reading a book.

"

"Does this count as reading? Don't you have to read the content of the book?"

Cheng Zhihan couldn't help but smile.

Lu Weimin said proudly: "This is considered browsing, but I actually memorized all the knowledge in the book!"

"Oh? It can't be fake?" Cheng Zhihan asked puzzledly.

"If you don't believe me, you can ask any questions you want about the first three hundred pages!"

He handed the book to Zhihan confidently.

Cheng Zhihan took the book, opened a page at random and started to examine it.

"I will read the beginning of this paragraph, and Brother Weimin, please recite the rest of this paragraph.

"

Lu Weimin agreed without hesitation.

Cheng Zhihan's special selection tests Lu Weimin's knowledge of Chinese studies:

"Please listen to me: Kong Ming smiled and said: 'I hope to hear the general's ideals and aspirations.

Liu Bei pushed the idlers aside and whispered:

'The current imperial court is weak, and treacherous people hold power. Although I, Liu Bei, have limited power, I still hope to spread justice in the world. However, my wisdom and talent are shallow and I have not been able to succeed in any deeds. I beg you to enlighten my thinking and help me out of danger.

Thank you so much!'

Now it's your turn.

"

In a flash, Lu Weimin laughed and stood up. He picked up the broken feather fan from the table and shook it, then said calmly: "

Zhuge Liang replied: "Since Dong Zhuo started the rebellion, many outstanding people have responded.

Although Cao's army was not as strong as Yuan Shao's at first, their final victory was not just a coincidence of timing, but also due to human wisdom.

Cao Cao now controls hundreds of thousands of troops and commands the emperor to command the heroes. It is difficult for us to compete with him.

Sun Quan of the Eastern Wu has been in power for several generations. With its rugged terrain and popular support, it has become an external aid that we can unite with rather than an object of attack.

Jingzhou has an excellent geographical location: it controls the Hanmian Fortress, has the advantage of the South China Sea, is connected to Wu in the east, and is connected to Bashu in the west. It is impossible to guard here without a wise and strategic person. Perhaps the upper ** row is the place for you, General, to show your skills.

I wonder if you have the same idea, General?

As for Yizhou, it has a rugged terrain, rich resources, and thousands of miles of fertile fields. It is a place blessed by nature. Liu Bang used it to accomplish his great cause of becoming emperor...”

Cheng Zhihan listened attentively, and was rewarded again and again by the system:

"Comfortable! Reciting is so effective!" Lu Wei** exclaimed with emotion.

"Well, do you want another one?" he continued with a bit of pride.

Cheng Zhihan clapped her hands and cheered, "Enough, enough! I am completely convinced.

"Brother Weimin is awesome! I admire you so much! How come you are so knowledgeable and have such a good memory?" she asked.

"That's talent! It's purely a personal trait!" Lu Weimin looked at Zhihan, who was like a fangirl, with a slightly arrogant look on his face.

Cheng Zhihan smiled sweetly, feeling that Brother Weimin was not only knowledgeable, humorous but also exceptionally handsome.

After a while:

18 I found a treasure – Brother Weimin, if you don’t soak your feet, the water will get cold!

"Brother Weimin, if you don't soak your feet quickly, the water will get cold!"

Cheng Zhihan looked at the hot water in the wooden basin and reminded him.

"I'll wash it right away!"

Lu Weimin said with a smile, and without hesitation, he dipped his feet into the water and rubbed them.

Even under Cheng Zhihan's gaze, he didn't feel embarrassed at all.

While washing his feet, he was still flipping through the book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

【…】

By the time he finished washing his feet, Lu Weimin not only had improved his language comprehension and memory, but also his military practical skills, strategic thinking, and debating skills.

"Wait! Zhihan, let me pour out the dirty water!" Lu Weimin had just finished washing his feet and dried them, and was about to pour out the hot water, but Cheng Zhihan had already picked up the wooden basin and walked out of the house.

“Let me pour it.

You have worked hard all day, now you should take some rest.

"Cheng Zhihan turned around and smiled gently.

"What a considerate and hardworking little girl! It's really worth having her around!" Looking at Cheng Zhihan turning and leaving, Lu Weimin admired sincerely.

In order to go to the market earlier, Lu Weimin decided to have a good sleep early, and picked up the book Romance of the Three Kingdoms in his hand to check the reading data.

[Memory level 2: 235/500]

【Language level 2: 369/500】

……

"Let's try to take our language skills to a new level tonight.

'

After setting a new goal, Lu Weimin turned the pages of the book more actively, making a rustling sound.

However, after a while, Lu Weimin realized that even though he flipped as fast as the wind, his language comprehension ability did not improve as quickly and significantly as before.

Instead of continuing to study hard, Lu Weimin closed the book and thought about the problem seriously. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind and everything became clear.

“It may be the result of reading the same book over and over again. Even if I am very familiar with the book, there must be a limit to what I can learn. No matter how many times I turn the page, the effect of improving my understanding is getting smaller and smaller.

I have to read different books to see any effect!"

After making the decision, Lu Weimin immediately got out of bed and prepared to borrow a book from someone.

Borrow from whom?

That is Yan Bugui.

In this compound, although the relationship between him and Yan Bugui is not close, at least they have no disputes with each other. More importantly, he is a Chinese language educator and must have many books at home.

As Lu Weimin stepped out of the room, he ran into Cheng Zhihan who came out of the next room.

"Brother Weimin, where are you going?"

"Borrow some new books!"

"Then I'll go back to the house and wait for you!"

"Aren't you going to bed early?"

"I don't feel very tired!"

"All right.

"

Lu Weimin nodded and walked towards Yan Bugui's residence.

Hearing about Lu Weimin borrowing books, Yan Bugui was very surprised and said with a smile:

"Oh my! Weimin, you really love learning! In all these years as a teacher, you are the first neighbor who comes to me looking for books.

No problem, you can borrow my books as you like.

However, remember to keep them tidy and set a date for returning them.

After returning the books, you can borrow new ones again!"

Lu Weimin was a little surprised by this response.

It was difficult for him to change his impression of Yan Bugui as a calculating and calculative person, and he did not expect that the other party would be so generous as to allow him to borrow books.

Lu Weimin followed Yan Bugui into the house and came to a table full of books.

Yan Bugui is a Chinese teacher, so his desk is naturally piled with various Chinese-related books, the most conspicuous of which are elementary school textbooks and reference materials.

Suddenly, Lu Weimin discovered the 1951 edition of Selected Works of the Leader, and his eyes immediately lit up.

"Can I borrow these two books? I promise to return them in three days!" Lu Weimin said, pointing to the anthology and another high school Chinese textbook.

"You want to borrow the Leader's Selected Works?" Yan Bugui showed a slightly reluctant expression. This book was very precious to him - it was a prize he won in the city-wide poetry recitation and calligraphy competition, and was regarded as a treasure.

Therefore, when Lu Weimin offered to borrow it, Yan Bugui felt a little reluctant.

“Lend it to me for three days, and I’ll pay you thirty cents, and it won’t be damaged or tarnished.

"Lu Weimin said immediately when he saw the other party's hesitation.

Yan Bugui was delighted to hear that he could get 30 cents for borrowing the book for only three days. "Okay! As long as you can ensure that it doesn't get damaged or dirty, you can borrow it for as long as you want, but it will cost 10 cents a day.

"

Upon hearing this, Lu Weimin burst into laughter; Yan Bugui was indeed profit-driven.

"There's no need to charge for the Chinese textbooks, just consider them as gifts!" Yan Bugui said generously.

"Thank you very much!"

Back in the room, Lu Weimin was holding the Leader's Selected Works and the high school Chinese textbook in his hands.

Cheng Zhihan was sitting on the bed, reading Romance of the Three Kingdoms so intently that she didn't notice Lu Weimin coming into the room.

After careful observation, Lu Weimin nodded secretly.

When a person studies without distractions, he will achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Afterwards, he began to read the Leader's Selected Works carefully.

As he read the anthology, Lu Weimin gradually gained understanding and improved himself.

"Oh my, amazing! This anthology is such a treasure! I found it!"
