Rebirth of Siheyuan: Starting from escaping famine in 42

Early the next morning.

After waking up, Li Qingfeng got up and put on his clothes carefully without disturbing Wu Lirong who was sleeping soundly.

After leaving the house, Li Qingfeng saw that it was still early, so he stood in the yard and lit a cigarette. He had to stay away from Li Rong when smoking now, after all, secondhand smoke was not good for her and the baby in her belly.

After finishing a cigarette, Li Qingfeng took a toothbrush, dipped it in some tooth powder, squatted at the kitchen door and started washing.

After washing up, Li Qingfeng went into the kitchen to make breakfast.

First, I washed the millet and cooked porridge, then I set up another stove and boiled four eggs. I placed a steamer on the pot and put four steamed buns in it.

After a while, the eggs were cooked and the steamed buns on top were also hot.

Then he took out a piece of pickled vegetables from the jar in the corner of the kitchen, washed off the brine, cut it into shreds, and added two drops of sesame oil, and it was done.

When he entered the room, he saw Wu Lirong still sleeping soundly. He did not disturb her, closed the door gently, and went into the kitchen to eat breakfast alone.

After finishing his breakfast, Li Qingfeng put Lirong's breakfast in the steamer and kept it warm with the remaining fire under the stove. When Lirong got up, it would be neither too cold nor too hot to eat.

After returning to the room to change clothes, Li Qingfeng gently kissed Lirong on the forehead and closed the door for her.

After closing the gate, I went to work.

Li Qingfeng came to the police station and met his father-in-law. He heard him say, "Qingfeng! I heard from your mother that Lirong is pregnant?"

"Yes, Dad." Li Qingfeng handed Wu Chenggui a cigarette, lit one for himself, and said with a smile: "Dad, you don't know, I was so excited when I found out that Lirong was pregnant."

"Haha!" Wu Chenggui took a puff of cigarette and continued, "Qingfeng, you must be more careful at home in the future and don't be rash. After all, a woman's first pregnancy is very important."

Li Qingfeng nodded and said, "Don't worry! I will be careful."

"Okay, that's enough, go and get busy!" After giving the instructions, Wu Chenggui put his hands behind his back and hummed a tune as he returned to the logistics office.

Afterwards, Li Qingfeng signed for duty, received his weapon, and followed Ma Baofu to patrol the streets.

At almost ten o'clock in the morning, Li Qingfeng said to Ma Baofu, "Brother Ma, I have something to do, so I'm leaving early."

Ma Baofu was smoking a cigarette. After hearing this, he asked, "Okay! If you have something to do, just go ahead. Do you need my help?"

Li Qingfeng smiled and said, "No need, Brother Ma, my wife is pregnant, I'll go home and cook for her."

Ma Baofu said: "You're pregnant! This is a good thing! Qingfeng congratulates you."

"Thank you, Brother Ma." Li Qingfeng smiled like an idiot, and then said, "Brother Ma, thank you for your trouble. I will go back first."

Ma Baofu said, "Okay, let's go back! Qingfeng, it's okay to come later in the afternoon."

"Got it." Li Qingfeng turned around and left. He didn't go home, but went to the school to find Liu Chuanzhi and asked him if he could send a message to his father's army, even a verbal message would be fine.

When he arrived at the school, Li Qingfeng unexpectedly ran into Yan Bugui from Yard 95. He greeted him and said, "Teacher Yan, are you teaching in this school?" As he spoke, he took out a cigarette from his cotton-padded jacket pocket, handed it to him, and put one in his own mouth.

Yan Bugui took the cigarette, took out a match and lit it for Li Qingfeng and himself, then said, "Patrolman Li, I also came to this school to teach after the Chinese New Year."

Li Qingfeng heard this and suddenly said, "Is that so? I was wondering why I never saw you, Teacher Yan, when I came to school before!"

"Haha!" Yan Bugui took a puff of his cigarette and asked Li Qingfeng, "Patrolman Li, are you here at school..."

Li Qingfeng said: "Oh! I came to the school to find Liu Chuanzhi."

"Looking for Teacher Liu! You go ahead and do your work, I'll be back first." After Yan Bugui knew the purpose of Li Qingfeng's visit to the school, he didn't bother him any more, just said hello and left.

Li Qingfeng found Liu Chuanzhi in the school office and greeted him: "Old Liu."

When Liu Chuanzhi heard the voice, he looked up and found it was Li Qingfeng, so he asked, "Qingfeng! What's the matter with you coming to see me at this time?"

"Well! I have something to ask you." Li Qingfeng handed him a cigarette and then asked, "Old Liu, can you contact the team my father is in?"

After Liu Chuanzhi lit up his cigarette, he heard what Li Qingfeng said and asked in confusion, "Qingfeng, didn't your father and Qingshan just leave not long ago? Why did you think of contacting your father?"

Li Qingfeng smiled and said, "Li Rong is pregnant. I just wanted to tell my father and make him happy."

Liu Chuanzhi was also very happy when he heard this. After all, Li Qingfeng had worked with him for quite a while. He smiled and said, "Qingfeng, congratulations on becoming a father."

"Thank you." Li Qingfeng then asked, "Old Liu, how about you deliver a letter to my father, or just give him a message."

Liu Chuanzhi thought for a moment and said, "Qingfeng, I don't know if we can communicate now. Please write me a letter first. I will ask for you tonight and reply to you tomorrow."

"Okay." Li Qingfeng found a pen and paper on the desk, sat opposite Lao Liu and began to write a letter to inform his father that Lirong was pregnant.

After writing it, he put it on Liu Chuanzhi's desk and said, "Old Liu, thank you for your help. I have to go home and cook for Lirong."

"Got it, let's go!" Liu Chuanzhi put the letter away and waved at him, signaling him to leave quickly.

Li Qingfeng left the school and walked quickly towards home.

When Li Qingfeng returned home, he saw Wu Lirong cooking in the kitchen. He quickly went up to take the spatula and said to Lirong softly, "Lirong, didn't I tell you that I would cook when I came back? Why are you cooking by yourself?"

Wu Lirong smiled and said, "Brother Qingfeng, I can't sit still, I just want to find something to do!"

Li Qingfeng helped Wu Lirong sit on the chair at the dining table and said, "Then find some books to read when you have nothing to do!"

After saying that, he returned to the wok and continued cooking.

It didn't take long before lunch was ready.

While the two were eating, Li Qingfeng put a piece of meat in Wu Lirong's bowl and said softly, "Lirong, I wrote a letter to our father to tell him that you are pregnant."

Wu Lirong asked: "Brother Qingfeng, when will our father receive the letter?"

Li Qingfeng said: "Well, if the letter can be successfully sent, it will take about a month for our father to receive the letter I wrote."

Wu Lirong was surprised when she heard this: "Brother Qingfeng, why did it take so long?"

"First, the transportation is inconvenient. Second, the messenger didn't deliver the letter directly to our father's team. He delivered the letter along the way. In addition, he might have been delayed by other things on the way."

Li Qingfeng put another bite of food into Wu Lirong's bowl and said to her, "Lirong, eat first! Otherwise it will get cold and not taste good."

Wu Lirong nodded and said, "Yes."

After the two finished their meal, Li Qingfeng cleaned up and went back to the room to hug Wu Lirong and take an hour-long nap before going out to work and continuing his patrol.
