Rebirth of Siheyuan: Starting from escaping famine in 42

Li Qingfeng said to his father, Li Chengman, in a joking tone: "Dad, I was thinking of letting you retire from the army and return to the city with us to enjoy a good life!"

"I didn't expect you to become the deputy commander. Now you are even more reluctant to retire and go back with us."

Li Qingshan felt relieved when he saw his elder brother change the subject.

Hearing this, Li Chengman replied unhappily: "I'm staying in the army well, why should I go back with you?"

"If I want to go back, I have to wait until I can no longer hold a gun, or until the country doesn't need me anymore."

"Besides, why would I go to Sijiu City? When I return, I will go back to my hometown Anyang."

Li Qingshan said jokingly: "Dad, if you go to Sijiu City, you can still see your grandchildren every day. If you go back to your hometown Anyang, can you still see them?"

Li Chengman glared at Li Qingshan and angrily said, "You won't bring the children back to my hometown to see me."

Li Qingshan shrank his neck, pouted and sat back in his chair.

Li Chengman glanced at Li Qingfeng and his brother, then said, "You two brothers just need to live your lives well and raise the children into adults."

"Don't worry about me yet, I'm still branded and can't move."

"If I get burned and it's inconvenient for me, I will go to your house and let you serve me without you telling me."

Li Qingfeng nodded and said, "I understand, Dad."

Li Qingshan also echoed his elder brother: "I know, Dad."

"Dad, can you borrow a car?"

Li Qingfeng thought that since he had finally returned to Henan, he must go to his hometown village to visit his mother's grave and burn some paper so that his mother could know in her afterlife how they and his father Li Chengman were doing.

Hearing this, Li Chengman asked curiously: "Qingfeng, why do you want to borrow the car?"

When Li Qingshan heard his elder brother's words, he looked at him with curiosity. He couldn't understand where his elder brother could go with the borrowed car!

After thinking for a long time, a vague image of his mother appeared in his mind, and his eyes lit up. His elder brother borrowed the car to go to his hometown to pay homage to his mother. After figuring it out, Li Qingshan looked at Li Qingfeng vaguely.

Li Qingfeng's eyes were red as he spoke, "Dad, Qingshan and I finally made the trip back to Henan. We were thinking of driving back to our hometown village to pay respect to our mother, repair her grave, and talk about our recent situation."

After listening to what he said to his eldest brother, Li Qingshan lowered his head with red eyes. His trembling shoulders showed the unrest in Li Qingshan's heart.

Li Chengman's eyes were red, he tried hard to hold back his tears, took a deep breath, calmed down his sadness, and then said, "If you can borrow it, after lunch, the three of us will drive back to our hometown village."

"It's inconvenient to go back with the children, so Lirong and Huairu are taking care of the children in the guesthouse."

Li Qingfeng lit a cigarette and said, "Dad, let's go now! The sooner we go, the sooner we can come back."

"For lunch, Lirong, Huairu and the children can just eat something at the guesthouse."

"Alright! I'll go borrow a car, and you two go tell Lirong and Huairu."

Li Chengman stood up, put on his military cap, walked out of the house swiftly, and went to the regiment headquarters to borrow a car.

The brothers Li Qingfeng and Li Qingshan followed their father out of the house, and told Wu Lirong and Qin Huairu about going to pay homage to their mother. They asked them to look after the children in the guesthouse, have lunch and drink in the guesthouse, and be back before dinner.

After hearing this, Wu Lirong and Qin Huairu understood that they could not go to worship their mother-in-law, as it was inconvenient to go with the children.

More than ten minutes later, two car horns were heard downstairs.

Li Qingfeng and Li Qingshan wasted no time and hurried downstairs and walked to the jeep. Seeing their father sitting in the driver's seat, they asked in surprise, "Dad, when did you learn to drive?"

Li Qingfeng took a curious look at it, then got on the back seat and said, "Dad, let's take turns driving on the road."

"Row."

Li Chengman, who was still standing outside with a stubby face, angrily yelled, "What are you doing standing there? Hurry up and get in the car."

"oh oh!"

Li Qingshan quickly ran to the other side of the car and was about to open the back door to get in when he was interrupted by his father's words.

Li Chengman shouted, "Why, you really think I'm your driver? Sit in the front."

Hearing this, Li Qingshan withdrew his hand, quickly opened the front door, sat in the passenger seat, lowered his head and sat down obediently without saying a word.

Seeing that the two brothers were seated, Li Chengman immediately started the jeep and drove towards Anyang.

The jeep drove for a while. Li Chengman lit a cigarette with one hand and said to himself softly, "I don't know how many familiar people there are in the village."

Brothers Li Qingfeng and Li Qingshan both heard their father talking to himself, but they were unable to respond.

Because when Li Qingfeng first came into this world, there was not a single person in the village, and the memories in his mind were deeply hidden. He was so hungry at the time that no one cared about the people in the village. As time passed, the people in the village in his memory gradually became blurred.

Li Qingshan would not even remember the villagers. How old was Qingshan at that time? He was probably in his teens, and he had long forgotten about it.

Li Qingfeng changed the subject and asked his father, "Dad, let's buy some things on the way to pay tribute to my mother!"

"You don't have to tell me. I've already done it in the army. It's all behind you."

Li Chengman didn't look back and concentrated on driving, and replied directly.

"Oh!"

Li Qingfeng turned sideways and found that his father had prepared quite a lot of things, including two shovels, four plates, a bottle of wine, three wine glasses, and a bag of food.

He turned around and continued, "Dad, you've prepared everything!"

Li Chengman replied: "That's right, your father has never done anything wrong."

The jeep drove for more than two hours, and Li Chengman stopped the car and went to the side of the road to relieve himself.

Li Qingfeng got out of the car, stretched his body, sat in the driver's seat and said to Li Chengman who was using the toilet on the side of the road: "Dad, I'll drive the rest of the way."

Li Chengman walked back while tying his belt. After hearing what Li Qingfeng said, he asked, "Qingfeng, when did you learn to drive?"

Li Qingfeng lit a cigarette, familiarized himself with the car, turned the steering wheel easily, and replied with a smile: "I learned it when I was in the police station."

"boom!"

Li Chengman sat in the back seat and slammed the door shut: "Okay, let's go!"

"Everyone sit still."

This was the first time Li Qingfeng had driven a car since he came into this world. Although the condition in the car was different from that in the future, Li Qingfeng still started the car smoothly and drove out.

Seeing that the car was running smoothly, Li Chengman leaned back in the seat and closed his eyes to take a rest.

Li Qingshan looked at his elder brother driving the car skillfully and said with a little envy: "Brother, please teach me how to drive!"

Li Qingfeng turned his head to look at Li Qingshan, then turned back and said with a smile: "Okay! After we visit our mother's grave, I will teach you how to drive."

After hearing this, Li Qingshan laughed foolishly: "Haha!"
