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

Chapter 80: Continuously Strengthening Your Strength

Seeing that his wife had no intention of leaving and also realizing that she was reluctant to leave the time they spent together, Lu Weimin did not rush to leave. Instead, he told Li Jing that he had to go out for something and asked her to stay with her mother.

Li Jing readily agreed to this, and did not ask Lu Weimin what he was going to do. She just reminded him, "Remember to come back and pick me up."

Zhang Yunfei, who was standing by, felt deeply moved after hearing this: It is true that girls cannot be kept at home when they grow up. After they get married, they unconsciously focus on their husband's family in their conversations.

Then, Lu Weimin drove away from his wife's hometown alone.

He first went to the residence in Fengju Hutong to inspect the progress of the renovation. The result satisfied him very much!

In that era, the craftsmen were very simple and reliable. The construction quality was very high and they were conscientious and there was never a problem of cutting corners.

When Lu Weimin drove to Qianmen Street again, he suddenly noticed that the shop that used to have the signboard of Hou's Pharmacy was now a new shop called "Renmin Pharmacy". It seemed that the renovation was going on very quickly.

Since the renovation is just a simple basic decoration and not a complicated large project, it is not impossible to complete it ahead of schedule and start business.

Lu Weimin observed that people kept coming in and out of the pharmacy, and it seemed that business was booming. He also entered the store to investigate.

To his surprise, Chen Xueru was there.

In addition to her, there was an old doctor, a customer, and a female employee who specialized in dispensing medicine in the store. Chen Xueru, who was receiving a customer and communicating with him, saw him coming, and her eyes immediately brightened, revealing a somewhat aggrieved expression.

He told the customer he was dealing with to wait a moment and then continue serving him, while looking at Lu Weimin in a pleading tone: "Just wait!"

At this time, another staff member in the store came up to Lu Weimin and greeted him: "Hello sir, is there anything I can help you with?" Obviously she recognized that the visitor had a friendship with the store owner.

Lu Wei** learned about the basic information, including the shop renovation and the official opening time, and learned that it was the second day of the pharmacy's opening. Soon after, Chen Xueru came to him and said to him: Let's go somewhere else and talk.

The two walked and talked on the street, and the topic gradually unfolded. It included a short conversation:

"Is the wedding over?"

"it's over!"

"Tell me, who is better, me or her?"

“I appreciate both!”

"Then tell me who has a better figure!"

“Both of them have very outstanding temperaments.”

"Hate it! Can't you just praise me and make me happy?"

"To be honest, I don't like lying, and every word I say is from the heart."

I guess I believe what you said!

Did you come to see me specially?

"Yes! By the way, please tell me when the order of 800 pieces of cloth can be shipped!" "It can be shipped in three days!"

"The boss said that if he is satisfied with this batch of goods, he will directly order 2,000 pieces of cloth for the next batch!" After hearing what Lu Weimin said, Chen Xueru was stunned for a moment, and then she was overjoyed: "Two thousand pieces of cloth at a time! What a big boss he must be! Brother Weimin, you are amazing. You got such a big deal. We are going to make a fortune!"

"This is just the beginning!"

"There will be more and more opportunities to make money in the future!"

"Don't save it! Buy more houses, especially big houses!" said Lu Weimin.

On a windy day more than ten years later.

Many people who own properties were afraid of being arrested for property-related crimes, so they burned the deeds or donated the properties.

However, some brave people hid the title deeds. Even if these houses were temporarily seized, as long as the title deeds were kept, most of them could be restored to their original state when the situation stabilized. Therefore, Lu Weimin asked Chen Xueru to buy as many houses as possible. During this period, he would continue to strengthen his strength. The stronger his strength was, the more he could protect himself and his family from harm when the storm came.

As for Lu Weimin's own money, it was all used to purchase various supplies.

In a blink of an eye,

Lu Weimin has been married for more than twenty days, and his married life is full of peace and happiness.

The day when college entrance examination results will be announced is approaching.

Lu Weimin understood that he would soon have a new starting point in life!

Good news! She is pregnant! So happy!

It was a sunny day. It was noon.

The "Xue Ru Silk Shop" on Qianmen Street reopened after renovation.

Chen Xueru glanced at the clock in the shop and smiled. After arranging the work at hand, she walked out of the shop with a brisk pace.

Now the store employees have gotten used to the boss leaving the store for a short time at noon every day and not returning until the afternoon. And before leaving the store every time, Chen Xueru is always in a good mood.

Not long after Chen Xueru left the shop, an old woman walked in.

When the store employees saw the former boss lady, now old lady Chen, they immediately went forward to greet her warmly. "Where's Xueru?" Old lady Chen looked kind and gentle, and she asked gently.

"The boss has gone home!" "Gone home?" Old Mrs. Chen was a little surprised to hear that.

After all, she knew her daughter very well. Although Chen Xueru was only eighteen years old, she was very ambitious. Since taking over the silk shop, she devoted herself to work in the shop every day and never went home easily.

It is really surprising that he now makes an exception and goes home for lunch break at noon.

"Yes! The boss went home for lunch!"

"Xue Ru, are you feeling unwell? Why did you suddenly go back to take a nap?"

Old Mrs. Chen couldn't help but feel a little worried. Chen Xueru was her precious daughter and her only child, born when she was old, so of course she loved her even more.

"No, no! The boss is in very good health and is full of energy every day. This is a habit the boss has developed recently. He takes a nap almost every day. There are only a few days in a month when he doesn't take a nap!"

Old Mrs. Chen nodded, without thinking any more, and left after asking the clerk to look after the store, ready to go home.

Since Mr. Chen retired, they have been living in the countryside. Every once in a while, they would come to the city to see their daughter and ask about her lifelong affairs.

After lunch,

Lu Weimin rode his bike out of the repair shop. He came to Fengju Hutong, opened the door, and pushed his bike in. Behind a rockery, he gently rang the copper bell.

After a while, a girl with skin as shiny as pearls walked out from the rockery and threw herself into Lu Weimin's arms.

This beautiful woman is of course Chen Xueru.

After the renovation, she built a rockery in the yard so that the next room could directly lead to the house.

Now, the two agreed to meet at noon because they felt that this arrangement was more suitable. Neither of them said much, walked into the room hand in hand, and then hugged each other tightly and lay on the bed, taking off their clothes.

After a while, the two merged into one.

Lu Weimin and Chen Xueru hugged each other, whispered and said sweet words. They did this every time they met.

But Chen Xueru could never get enough of hearing these words.

"Brother Wei Min, I have sent the 2,000 pieces of cloth you mentioned earlier to the designated warehouse for storage."

The day before yesterday, I bought another large old house. According to your suggestion, I plan to rent it out to students studying at a nearby university!"

"Very good. You have to remember that we don't rent out houses for profit, we just want to avoid wasting space, so it's fine to just charge some basic fees."

"I see."

In the past, before I met you, I always paid much attention to money; but after knowing you for so long, you have also changed me, and my vision has become broader. My heart has become more open, and I even love reading, and I have gained a lot of knowledge. Now I will no longer pursue wealth as my only goal. So do you know what is my first priority now? "

"Then let me guess, could it be for the future?"

"No."

“Maybe it’s the welfare of the workers and the people?”

"No, I'm not that noble."

"I don't know what to say."

"It's you. To me, you will always be first in my world."

Hearing such words coming out of the mouth of a beautiful woman, Lu Weimin felt extremely happy, "Thank you for being so considerate to me."

Then they leaned in for a kiss, and once again the passionate couple was lost in the moment, not caring that it was daytime; on the contrary, daytime had a different charm, and everything was clear.

at the same time,

Mrs. Chen returned to her house and was surprised to find no trace of her daughter. "I wonder where this child has gone!"

Later that afternoon,

Chen Xueru returned to Xueru Silk Shop.

"Not long after you left, the old lady came to look for you," the store manager came forward and said, "Did you meet?" "My mother went to the city?" Chen Xueru said happily.

The store manager saw the boss's expression and immediately realized that the mother and daughter had not met. "I'll go home!"

"No need! I'm here!" The voice of Old Mrs. Chen came from behind.

---

She was ecstatic at the news of her pregnancy! She is five months pregnant!

"Mom! Why did you come to see your daughter so late? Your daughter missed you so much!" Chen Xueru was very surprised and immediately went to greet her.

"If mom doesn't come to the city to see you, won't you come back to the countryside to see mom?"

"Mom, I was wrong! I've been too busy lately and don't have time to come back! If I don't see you come to the city every month, I will go home to see you in person!"

"If you say something, you have to do it!"

"The people at the store told me that you were resting. I went to your house to look for you, but I didn't see you." Chen Xueru was prepared:

"I don't live in the house in Sanlipiao Hutong recently. I rest in Fengju Hutong. It's more comfortable there after the renovation. I usually go back there to rest for a while at noon."

"Renovation will cost a lot of money. Why didn't you tell me and your father in advance?" Old Mrs. Chen suddenly realized and felt a little distressed about the expenses.

"Business has been good recently and I've made a lot of money. Now that I have money, I saw that the house was shabby and decided to renovate it."

The old lady was very pleased to hear her daughter say that the silk shop was doing well.

Mrs. Chen wanted to discuss her daughter's lifelong affairs, but an important client came. So she had to postpone the discussion to the evening. Seeing that her daughter was busy with work, she said hello and went to chat with acquaintances nearby. After dealing with the big client, Chen Xueru failed to find her mother, and then she realized that her mother was meeting with familiar friends on this street. Suddenly,

Chen Xueru felt sick to her stomach and had a strong nausea reaction. She quickly covered her mouth with her hands and walked into the inner room. Ugh, ugh!

After several dry heaves, Chen Xueru slowly recovered. Could it be because she ate something wrong?

But the food was the same as the employees in the store, but they didn't have this problem. Could it be that I was pregnant?

If you think about it carefully, it is indeed very likely. Since they got together, the two have never taken any measures.
