Rebirth of Siheyuan: Starting from escaping famine in 42

After Li Qingfeng and his group returned home, the four children went to play with Weidong as soon as they entered the house.

Wu Lirong went into the kitchen to help Qin Huairu cook.

Li Qingfeng parked the cart in the woodshed, and when he had nothing to do, he went into the house and lay in the rocking chair to read a book.

When Li Qingshan came back from get off work in the evening, Li Qingfeng asked, "Qingshan, how was your first day at work?"

After washing up, Li Qingshan wiped the water stains on his hands with a towel and replied with a smile: "It's okay! I agreed to be a colleague on the first day. Except for meal time and lunch break, I patrolled the factory."

Li Qingfeng handed him a cigarette and then asked, "How is the steel mill doing now? Who is the director?"

Li Qingshan lit up his cigarette and replied, "The factory director is the old regiment commander when I first joined the army. There are about 300 people in the factory, and it is still under expansion."

"Oh!"

Li Qingfeng wanted to say something but was interrupted by Wu Lirong's shout: "Brother Qingfeng, Qingshan, come and eat."

"Let's go! Qingshan eats first."

Li Qingfeng put out his cigarette and washed his hands, then went to the kitchen to eat with Li Qingshan.

A week passed in the blink of an eye.

The next morning, sunlight shone through the window into the house.

Wu Lirong felt the movement of Li Qingfeng getting up beside her, opened her eyes, rubbed them, and slowly sat up from the kang: "Brother Qingfeng, why are you up so early?"

Li Qingfeng was surprised to see Wu Lirong also getting dressed. Looking at her sleepy appearance, he said softly, "Get up and practice more in the yard. Li Rong, why don't you sleep a little longer?"

"No, Brother Qingfeng, now that you're awake, don't sleep anymore."

Wu Lirong yawned, climbed to the edge of the kang and put on her shoes.

In the courtyard under the morning light, Li Qingfeng practiced Baguazhang, combining it with the Dragon Step on his feet, sometimes fast and sometimes slow.

After practicing for a while, Li Qingshan also came out of the house and went to the yard to start exercising.

As they practiced, they began to learn from each other.

After a while, both of them began to sweat profusely. Li Qingfeng took the time to step aside, waved his hand, and said, "No more practice, Qingshan, you have become more powerful now, and you have killer moves everywhere."

Li Qingshan smiled and replied: "Brother, I got used to sparring with my comrades in the army."

"Okay, let's go wash up and eat! Your sister-in-law should be cooking dinner. After dinner, let's go to Zhuzi's house to see if there's anything we can help with?"

After saying that, Li Qingfeng went straight back to the house, took his toiletries, squatted by the well and started washing.

After breakfast, I stayed at home until almost nine o'clock.

Brothers Li Qingfeng and Li Qingshan then went out and walked towards He Yuzhu's house.

The two brothers walked into the No. 95 courtyard. As soon as they entered the middle courtyard, they saw Yan Bugui sitting behind a table keeping accounts. They walked up to him and said with a smile, "Teacher Yan, you keep accounts!"

"Well, I'm keeping accounts!"

Yan Bugui looked up and saw that it was the brothers Li Qingfeng and Li Qingshan. He handed each of them a cigarette from the wedding cigarettes on the table. Turning his head and seeing that no one around him was paying attention, he said proudly in a low voice: "I am the only one in the hospital with a higher level of education and beautiful handwriting. Others can't do that."

"hehe!"

After hearing this, the Li Qingfeng brothers smiled at the same time.

Li Qingshan took out the money, took out two bills and put them on the table, and said, "Teacher Yan, this is my and my brother's share of money, one thousand yuan each."

(One thousand yuan equals 1 yuan.)

Seeing that his younger brother had also paid his share, Li Qingfeng didn't care much about it since it wasn't much anyway.

"light and spacious."

Yan Bugui took the money, smiled, gave Li Qingfeng and his brother a thumbs up, and then made a record for Li Qingfeng and his brother in the account book.

Li Qingfeng saw someone coming to give gifts, so he said, "Teacher Yan, you go ahead and do your work. Let's go check out the pillars."

"Okay, you two brothers, drink more at noon."

Yan Bugui nodded to Li Qingfeng and Li Qingshan, and then registered the people who came later.

Li Qingfeng and Li Qingshan walked into He Daqing's house and saw many people sitting in the room, including Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, Jia Dongxu, and a few strangers.

The two brothers greeted everyone: "Master Yi, Master Liu, Dongxu (Brother)."

Yi Zhonghai and his companions also knew the Li Qingfeng brothers, and they nodded and said, "Qingfeng, Qingshan."

Then Li Qingfeng bowed to He Daqing and congratulated him with a smile: "Master He, congratulations on having a grandson soon."

"Haha! Thank you."

He Daqing handed two cigarettes to Li Qingshan and Li Qingfeng with a smile, and then called the two brothers: "Hurry up and sit down, hurry up and sit down."

Then Li Qingfeng started talking with He Daqing, Yi Zhonghai and others.

Seeing that he couldn't get a word in, Li Qingshan went to the side room to find He Yuzhu. Seeing that he was still eating with He Yushui, he smiled and said, "Zhuzi, Yushui, you're having breakfast so late!"

He Yushui greeted politely: "Brother Qingshan."

He Yuzhu moved a stool to Li Qingshan, and with his mouth full of food, he said to Li Qingshan in a vague voice: "Qingshan, sit down. You got up late."

Li Qingshan lit a cigarette and said to He Yuzhu jokingly, "What's up, Zhuzi? You're getting married today, and you were so excited that you couldn't sleep last night."

He Yuzhu scratched the back of his head, drank a mouthful of corn paste to wash down the food in his mouth, and then said, "A little bit. Last night, when I thought about getting married tomorrow, I tossed and turned in bed and couldn't fall asleep. I fell asleep in a daze in the second half of the night."

He Yuzhu lit a cigarette and then asked, "Hey! Qingshan, were you the same as me when you got married?"

Li Qingshan smoked a cigarette, nodded, and replied: "Yeah, about the same as you. But I got up earlier than you."

He Yuzhu held a cigarette in one hand and drank the corn porridge in the bowl with the other hand. Then he said, "Qingshan, please help me light the toast at noon."

Li Qingshan asked: "What?"

He Yuzhu replied with a bitter face: "I'm afraid that when I toast, some people in Xu Damao's merchandise yard who don't get along with me will force me to drink."

Li Qingshan nodded and said, "Okay."

After hearing this, He Yuzhu patted Li Qingshan on the shoulder and said, "Thanks, brother."

It was soon past ten o'clock, and He Yuzhu led four young people, riding bicycles to pick up his new bride amid the sound of crackling firecrackers.

Brothers Li Qingfeng and Li Qingshan, as He Daqing had said, went to help the people in the yard put away the tables, chairs and benches.

The tables, chairs and benches were all put away. Li Qingfeng and Li Qingshan had nothing to do, so they just sat at a table, eating peanuts and melon seeds while waiting for the new bride to arrive.

After half an hour, the sound of firecrackers and children's shouting could be heard outside the yard.

"Here comes the bride! Here comes the bride!"

Li Qingfeng and Li Qingshan also stood up and walked forward, wanting to see what He Yuzhu's partner looked like.

But there were a lot of people gathered in front, so they couldn't see it, so they had to stand on the stool and look towards the Moon Gate.

The people in the yard followed suit and stood on the stools to watch.
