Rebirth of Siheyuan: Starting from escaping famine in 42

Liu Chuanzhi saw that they had almost finished eating, so he began to tell the brothers Li Qingfeng and Li Qingshan the third thing. He organized his words before speaking: "Qingfeng, Qingshan, now I will tell you the last thing."

"This third thing is about your father. Your father is not actually dead."

When Li Qingshan heard that his father was not dead, he interrupted excitedly: "Mr. Liu, is my father really not dead?"

Liu Chuanzhi nodded and said, "Yes, your father is still alive. This has been confirmed by the organization."

Li Qingshan's eyes were red, and he said in an excited tone: "Old Liu, if my father is not dead, why didn't he come to Sijiu City to find us?"

Li Qingfeng heard his brother's excited tone, so he said softly to comfort him: "Qingshan, don't get excited. It's a good thing that our father is alive. Let's listen to what Lao Liu has to say first."

Liu Chuanzhi glanced at Li Qingfeng and thought that Li Qingfeng was steady and might be able to achieve great things in the future. After coming to his senses, he said to Li Qingshan, "Qingshan, it's not that your father doesn't want to come to you. Your father has joined the people's team, but our team is a disciplined unit and you can't leave the unit without permission. You can't let your father make a mistake."

"I'm going to tell you what I know now. Wasn't your father captured by the Japanese to build a gun tower in the village two years ago? When the gun tower was almost finished, the Japanese wanted to kill all the people who ran away. Fortunately, the local troops joined forces with the guerrillas to attack the gun tower."

"After we finished taking down the artillery tower and killing all the Japanese, your father was also injured, but not seriously. He was eventually sent to the army's rear hospital to recuperate. After he recovered, he joined the local army to kill the Japanese."

"Your father would usually ask for leave to go back to the village. He also saw the message you left at home and knew that you were safe and had gone to Sijiu City, so your father felt relieved to return to the team and fight the Japanese."

After a pause, Liu Chuanzhi lit a cigarette and let the brothers digest it first.

After finishing a cigarette, Liu Chuanzhi saw that both brothers had red eyes but were calm, so he continued, "We were able to contact your father because the organization wanted to confirm your information, so they sent a message to the people in Anyang and contacted your father's unit."

"Your father Yu was a man of blood. When he knew your mother had passed away, he took out all his anger on you. Every time he killed the devils, he rushed forward without caring about his life. Now he has received praise from his superiors and has become a squad leader."

When the brothers Li Qingfeng heard that their father was risking his life on the battlefield, their hearts suddenly sank and they worried about their father's safety. After all, bullets on the battlefield have no eyes.

Li Qingfeng thought for a while before he said to Liu Chuanzhi, "Old Liu, can we write a letter to Dad?"

His younger brother Li Qingshan next to him was also looking at Liu Chuanzhi vaguely, as if waiting for Liu Chuanzhi to say "yes".

Liu Chuanzhi thought for a while before saying calmly, "Qingfeng, Qingshan, you two can write the letter, but I don't know if it can be delivered."

"After all, the distance between Sijiu City and Anyang is so far, and the road is not safe. You should know this."

"Also, the unit your father is in can't stay in Anyang forever. If the unit leaves one day, the letter won't be delivered."

"What I can do to help you is to give the letter to the courier, or to have comrades from other places to deliver the letter for you on their way to the south, but don't even think about it at other times, after all, transportation is inconvenient, and no one knows what happened on the way."

Li Qingfeng also knew that it was inconvenient to call him and that timely communication was unlikely, so he chuckled and said, "Old Liu, I know, I'm overthinking it. It would be good to have one letter a year to know the situation of both parties."

"We will meet again after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War." Liu Chuanzhi continued, "Don't worry, everything will be fine. Your father should be waiting for you to get married and have children, so you two have to be well."

Li Qingfeng nodded without saying anything. No one knew what he was thinking.

When Li Qingshan heard about going to wash the baby, he blushed and said, "I'm still young, there's no rush. My brother got married first."

After hearing this, Li Qingfeng and Liu Chuanzhi burst out laughing at the same time.

With this smile, the sad atmosphere just now disappeared immediately. After finishing his meal, his younger brother Li Qingshan took his book and went to the side to read and study.

The remaining two drank two more cups before Li Qingfeng said, "Lao Liu, my brother Qingshan and I want to register our household registration in Sijiu City. What documents do we need to apply for it?"

Liu Chuanzhi swallowed the food in his mouth and asked, "Registering? You bought this house in Qingfeng, right?"

Li Qingfeng nodded and said, "Yes, Lao Liu, when I first came to Sijiu City, I wanted to buy a house so that I could slowly settle down."

Liu Chuanzhi lit a cigarette and said, "You just need to bring the new deed document, but a deed can only register the household registration of the owner and his children. You still have to find another way to register your brother's household registration."

"Or you can buy another house and put the new title deed in your brother's name, as long as you still have money."

Li Qingfeng nodded and said, "Got it, Lao Liu."

After the two of them had eaten and drunk their fill, Liu Chuanzhi left without staying any longer. Before leaving, he told the two brothers: Go find him at school after you have registered your household registration.

After Liu Chuanzhi left, Li Qingfeng and his younger brother Li Qingshan began to clean up the dishes.

While washing the dishes, Li Qingshan asked his eldest brother, "Brother, if there is no money at home, just leave me alone and I won't be registered in the city."

Li Qingfeng said with a smile: "What nonsense are you talking about? Don't worry, I still have money. You will have what I have, so don't say such nonsense again."

Li Qingshan lowered his head, his eyes red as he said, "I understand, brother."

"Okay, Qingshan, go to bed early after taking a shower. Go to the Housing Management Department to ask about the house tomorrow." After saying that, Li Qingfeng went straight back to his room.

After hearing what his brother said, Qingshan wiped the tears from his face, then continued to wash the dishes, put them in the kitchen cupboard, went to the yard to get a basin of water to wash his face, and went straight back to the house.

The next day

The two brothers got up early in the morning. After practicing Kung Fu for a while, Li Qingfeng asked his younger brother, "Qingshan, let's go out for breakfast today!"

Li Qingshan nodded indifferently: "Okay!"

As long as he has food to eat, he doesn't care where he eats. It's better to eat out so that he doesn't have to wash dishes after the meal.

The two practiced for about half an hour. Seeing that the younger brother was making rapid progress, he stopped and told his younger brother to go wash up.

After washing up, the two brothers locked the door, walked out of the house side by side and walked towards the breakfast stall.

When they arrived at the breakfast stall, they ordered four fried dough sticks and two bowls of fried liver, and the two brothers began to share the food.

After eating and drinking, Li Qingfeng paid the bill and led his brother Li Qingshan straight to the Housing Authority.
