Rebirth of Siheyuan: Starting from escaping famine in 42

When the other children heard what their eldest brother said, they stole glances at Li Qingfeng with vague eyes.

Hearing this, Li Qingfeng hugged Li Weiguo and said softly, "Weiguo, Dad didn't buy firecrackers. I'll buy some for you to play with when we get home, okay?"

After hearing this, Li Weiguo felt a little disappointed, but he still nodded and said, "I know, Dad."

"Good boy, what a good boy."

Li Qingfeng saw the disappointed expressions on the faces of the other children and said to them with a smile: "Children, even if I buy you firecrackers, you can't play with them, because playing with firecrackers is not allowed in the military area."

"When we get home, I'll buy you some more firecrackers for you to play with."

"Oh!"

A few children nodded in confusion and responded.

Li Qingfeng patted Li Weiguo's little butt and said to him, "Go play with your brothers and sisters!"

"Oh!"

Li Weiguo nodded obediently, loosened his hands, and walked towards his younger brother and sister.

The four people playing cards didn't play for long and dispersed at around ten o'clock, mainly because the children were all sleepy.

They didn't keep watch and didn't even eat the dumplings. Li Qingfeng and his three companions, along with the children, went back to the guesthouse to rest.

Early in the morning of the first day of the new year.

When Li Qingfeng went to buy breakfast, no matter who he met in the guesthouse, he would nod and say hello to each person and say New Year's greetings with a smile.

After breakfast, Li Qingfeng and his three friends brought their five children to Li Chengman’s residence.

Afterwards, Li Qingshan followed his father to visit his comrades to wish them a happy new year.

Li Qingfeng, Wu Lirong and Qin Huairu were at home taking care of the children, and they didn't know anyone here.

So just wait at home.

Of course, if someone came to visit and wish a happy new year, even if Li Qingfeng didn't know them, he would still warmly entertain the guest and explain who he was to the other person.

Li Chengman and Li Qingshan didn't come back until almost time for lunch.

After dinner, Li Chengman saw that everything was cleaned up and then clamored to play cards.

Li Qingfeng didn't fight and gave it to his younger brother Li Qingshan.

The four of them played until dinner time in the evening.

After dinner, Li Qingfeng and Li Qingshan took their wives and children back to the guesthouse early. The first day of the new year passed in an uneventful manner.

Early in the morning on the second day of the Chinese New Year.

After finishing their meal, the group came to their father's residence, but his father Li Chengman had gone to work at the regiment headquarters early, leaving only a pair of car keys on the table.

Li Qingfeng said hello to Wu Lirong and the others, then drove his brother to the train station to buy train tickets back to Sijiu City.

For the return train ticket, Li Qingfeng booked a sleeper compartment, which saved his wife and children from having to squeeze on the train.

After buying the train tickets, Li Qingfeng took his younger brother to the suburbs outside the city. He let his younger brother sit in the driver's seat to learn how to drive, while he sat in the passenger seat, lit a cigarette and taught him.

As soon as Li Qingshan started driving, he got angry. As soon as he started driving, he got angry.

Li Qingfeng explained it to Li Qingshan three or four times before he slowly started the car and became more and more skilled.

Afterwards, Li Qingfeng asked his younger brother Li Qingshan to drive back to the military region.

When they returned to the military area, they had nothing to do, so they started playing cards.

It was almost time for lunch when Li Chengman returned home.

"Dad. Grandpa."

Li Qingfeng and his friends greeted the five children.

"Ah."

Li Chengman washed his hands and asked casually, "Qingfeng, when did you buy the train tickets?"

Hearing this, Li Qingfeng replied: "Dad, the train is at 4pm."

Hearing this, Li Chengman showed a barely perceptible look of reluctance, but then he said to Li Qingfeng in a serious tone: "Well, I won't see you off. I'll ask two orderly soldiers to drive you to the train station."

"Got it, Dad. We'll be waiting at the guesthouse."

Li Qingfeng handed him a cigarette and then said, "Dad, you are not young anymore. Don't work too hard in the future. Your health is more important."

Li Qingshan at the side also echoed and said: "Yes! Dad, we are not with you, you have to take care of your health."

After listening to the two brothers, Li Chengman knew that they were worried about his health. He took a puff of cigarette and said to the brothers with a smile, "Don't worry, I know what's going on."

He took a puff of cigarette and then told the two brothers: "Qingfeng, you should pay more attention to safety when you are working. After all, you police officers sometimes have to face vicious criminals and hidden agents."

"Qingshan, your current job is not confirmed yet, but if you have any questions, ask your brother and discuss it with him. Got it?"

Hearing this, the two brothers nodded and replied, "Got it, Dad."

"Okay, let's eat first!"

When Li Chengman saw his two daughters-in-law carrying the food out of the kitchen, he got up and went into the bathroom to wash his hands.

After meal.

Li Chengman happily played with his five grandchildren for a while, gave some instructions to his two daughters-in-law, and then went to work at the regiment headquarters with slightly red eyes.

The brothers Li Qingfeng and Li Qingshan watched their father's receding figure with red eyes. They didn't know when they would see each other again after this separation. Maybe their father would retire from the army and they would go to the army to see him during the Chinese New Year.

After calming down, Li Qingfeng said to Li Qingshan and the other two beside him, "Let's lock the door and go back to the guesthouse to pack our luggage."

"Ah."

Li Qingshan, Wu Lirong and Qin Huairu responded, closed the doors and windows, and then the three of them and Li Qingfeng led the five children back to the guesthouse.

Back at the guesthouse, the four of them packed their luggage and everything was fine.

Bored, the four of them took out playing cards and started playing cards.

I don’t know how much time had passed, but the four of them were playing poker when they heard two car horns honking from downstairs.

Li Qingfeng took the poker, stood up and walked to the window. Through the window, he saw two jeeps downstairs. He turned around and looked at the time. It was already half past three, so he said, "Okay, the car is here, we should go."

"Ah."

A few people packed their luggage and led the children downstairs.

Li Qingfeng said: "Qingshan, take Weiguo and sit in the car at the back."

"I know, brother."

Li Qingshan took Li Weiguo by the hand and led Qin Huairu and Li Weidong towards the car behind.

Li Qingfeng first asked Wu Lirong and the three children to get on the back seat, then he sat in the passenger seat and said to the orderly who was driving with a smile, "Comrade, thank you for your help."

"No trouble, no trouble, everyone sit down, I'm going to start the car."

When the orderly saw that the adults and three children were seated, he honked the horn twice before starting the car and slowly driving out of the military gate.

Regiment Headquarters.

The regiment political commissar saw Li Chengman still in the office at 3:30, and asked him in surprise: "Old Li, why don't you go see your son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren off?"

Li Chengman handed over a cigarette, waved his hand and pretended not to care, and said, "I'm not going. I've arranged everything."

"You!"

The regiment political commissar pointed at Li Chengman.
