Rebirth of Siheyuan: Starting from escaping famine in 42

After Li Qingshan and Qin Dajun left, a curious neighbor near Qin Desheng's house asked loudly, "Desheng, what are your Dajun and your son-in-law doing?"

Before Qin Desheng could finish his words, his mother boasted loudly, "My son-in-law helped Dajun find a job at the steel mill in the city, and soon Dajun followed his brother-in-law to the city."

Qin Desheng saw that his mother was so eager to show off that it would take her more than an hour to finish.

He smiled and nodded to the neighbors around him as a greeting, then walked into his yard without looking back.

Li Qingshan asked: "Dajun, where is the village chief's home?"

Hearing this, Qin Dajun couldn't help but ask: "Brother-in-law, why are you asking about the village chief's family?"

Li Qingshan said, "I'll give you a letter of introduction! Otherwise, how can you get a job in the factory? You will also need a letter of introduction to go to the police station and the street office."

"Oh! Oh! Brother-in-law, let me show you the way."

After Qin Dajun finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to show Li Qingshan the way, and mentioned the direction in advance.

Li Qingshan brought Qin Dajun to the village chief's house, handed him a cigarette, and explained the reason.

The village chief immediately prepared a letter of introduction, handed it to Qin Dajun, and gave Qin Dajun a few instructions before letting Qin Dajun and Li Qingshan go.

Then Li Qingshan led Qin Dajun away. As soon as he left the village, he heard Qin Dajun's voice behind him.

Qin Dajun sat on the back seat of the bicycle, looking at the village yard slowly receding, feeling a little sad. After leaving the village, he held the back seat with his hand and asked, "Brother-in-law, did you buy this bicycle yourself?"

Li Qingshan replied loudly: "Yes, it's mine. It belongs to your brother Qingfeng. Borrow it to ride."

"I have no money now. I have spent almost all of it on building a house. When the factory starts paying me, I will buy one for myself."

"When the time comes, you should also learn how to ride a bicycle, so that it will be more convenient for you to go home in the future."

Hearing this, Qin Dajun replied with a smile: "Thank you, brother-in-law."

Li Qingshan said, "It's okay. We are not strangers. When you are free after get off work, please help me take care of Weidong. Your sister is pregnant, and I am taking care of her. Sometimes I can't take care of Weidong."

Qin Dajun also knew that Li Qingshan couldn't see him, so he nodded and said, "Don't worry! Brother-in-law, I will spend more time with my nephew."

"Ah."

Li Qingshan explained the personnel relations in the factory and other matters, and then concentrated on riding his bicycle.

It took Li Qingfeng more than an hour to get home.

Qin Dajun followed Li Qingshan into the yard and saw Li Qingfeng lying on a recliner, basking in the sun, and five children playing in the yard.

Qin Dajun hurried forward to greet Li Qingfeng, and even the five children were no exception: "Brother Qingfeng, Weiguo, Weijun, Weihong, Weimin, and Weidong."

"Dajun, here we come! Come and have a smoke."

Li Qingfeng handed over a cigarette. Seeing that the children were all looking at Qin Dajun curiously, he quickly pointed at Qin Dajun and said to the children with a smile: "Weidong, this is your uncle, you should call him quickly. Weiguo, you guys can follow suit and call him uncle."

Li Weidong looked at the man who seemed familiar and called softly, "Uncle."

Finally, when Li Weiguo and the other three saw their younger brother Weidong shouting, they followed suit and shouted, "Hello, uncle."

"Hey!"

Qin Dajun responded with a smile and gently rubbed their heads.

Wu Lirong was chatting and sewing shoe soles with Qin Huairu in the house. When they heard the noise in the yard, they knew that Qingshan's brother-in-law, their own younger brother, had arrived.

The two of them stood up, and Wu Lirong gently helped Qin Huairu out of the house. Seeing Qin Dajun in the yard, she smiled and shouted, "Brother (Dajun), you are here!"

After Qin Dajun heard this, he hurried forward and greeted Wu Lirong, "Sister Lirong." Then he called Qin Huairu, "Sister."

Qin Huairu responded with a smile, and then asked: "Dajun, are our parents okay?"

Qin Dajun nodded and replied, "Sister, my parents are doing well. They said they would come to the city to see you when they are not busy in the fields."

"Qingshan, clean up the side room next to your house and let the army live there."

Li Qingfeng stood up and gave Li Qingshan some instructions, then said to Wu Lirong and the other two, "Lirong, Huairu, and Dajun, stop standing in the yard and talk. Let's go inside and chat first."

Wu Lirong also echoed, "Dajun, follow your sister to the main room and sit down and have a drink of water. I'll go help Qingshan clean up the house."

After saying that, he quickly walked into the side room, and soon Li Qingshan was driven out by Wu Lirong.

Li Qingfeng poured a cup of tea for Qin Dajun and said with a smile: "Dajun, drink some water."

Qin Dajun took the cup and thanked him: "Thank you, Brother Qingfeng."

Li Qingfeng smiled and nodded, then walked out of the main room, leaving the space to her sister and brother.

When he met Li Qingshan who had just come out of the side room, Li Qingfeng directly asked him to go to the main room to accompany Qin Dajun and Qin Huairu.

Li Qingfeng walked towards the kitchen to see what ingredients were left. If there were not enough ingredients, he would have to go out for a walk and take them out from the space to entertain Qin Dajun in the evening.

After entering the kitchen, Li Qingfeng saw a lot of cured meat and cured rabbit hanging on the stove. He nodded, thinking that there were enough ingredients and he didn't need to go out again.

After washing his hands, Li Qingfeng began to process the bacon and rabbit.

In the evening, just have two meat dishes, three vegetable dishes and a soup.

After a while, Wu Lirong came into the kitchen to help.

It was almost time for dinner, so Li Qingfeng started cooking. He made spicy rabbit, fried bacon with celery, fried peanuts, hot and sour cabbage, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, spinach and egg drop soup, and then steamed a pot of rice.

The portions are large, enough for several people.

When Li Qingfeng was cooking, after the dishes were cooked, he would first serve some to Qin Huairu, and then he would add chili peppers and other strong-flavored seasonings.

The dishes were all cooked, and by the time the rice was out of the pot, Li Qingfeng, Li Qingshan, and Qin Dajun had already started drinking.

When the rice was cooked, Wu Lirong opened the lid of the pot and let it dry for a while before serving the rice and vegetables to Qin Huairu and the children.

After Wei Guo and the others, as well as Wu Lirong and Qin Huairu, had finished their meal, Li Qingfeng and the other two were still drinking!

It was Wu Lirong who told the three of them to stop drinking and eat quickly.

The three of them smiled, finished the wine in their glasses, and then each went to get some rice and eat with the delicious dishes.

After the three of them finished their meal, they helped Wu Lirong clear the table before going to the yard. Each of them lit a cigarette and started smoking.

After finishing a cigarette, Li Qingfeng said, "Qingshan, Dajun, go back to the house and rest early!"

After saying that, he washed his feet in the sink and then went back to the house to rest.

Li Qingshan washed his feet and said to Qin Dajun, "Dajun, you sleep in this side room. The bedding in the room is all clean."

Qin Dajun nodded and said, "I see, brother-in-law, you should go to bed early too!"

After saying that, Qin Dajun waited for Li Qingshan to return to the house before going into the side room to sleep.
