Rebirth of Siheyuan: Starting from escaping famine in 42

After the three of them walked out of the restaurant, Li Qingfeng gave Liu Zhi five dollars and said, "Sixth brother, take this money. If you hadn't spoken for me, I might not have been accepted by the master."

Liu Zhi took the money and said to Li Qingfeng, "Qingfeng, I will accept it with pleasure."

"I will call you Qingfeng and Qingshan from now on."

Li Qingfeng and Li Qingshan nodded and said at the same time: "Okay, Sixth Brother."

Liu Zhi patted his chest gently and continued, "Qingfeng, Qingshan, I'm going back to work first. If you have any questions in the future, please come to the Housing Management Department to find me, or come to my house to find me."

"Please remember my address. It's the back room at No. 20 Yandaixie Street. Don't go in through the front door. I have a separate door at the back. Just go in through the back door."

Li Qingfeng nodded and said with a smile: "Remember, Sixth Brother, we will go to you for a drink when we have nothing to do."

"Okay, it fell." Liu Zhi walked towards the Housing Authority.

Li Qingfeng and Li Qingshan also walked back home slowly. Nothing happened on the way home and they returned home after a while.

After arriving home, Li Qingfeng looked at his watch. It was almost 3 o'clock. He decided not to go to the police station to confirm his household registration today.

It would be disrespectful to go there reeking of alcohol, so I'd better go early tomorrow morning!

After thinking about it, Li Qingfeng went back to his room to rest.

When it was time for dinner, Li Qingfeng said to his younger brother Li Qingshan: "Qingshan, go to bed early and get up early today, and settle our household registration tomorrow."

After hearing what his elder brother said, Li Qingshan said stubbornly: "Brother, do you need me to tell you this? I get up early every day."

Li Qingfeng felt that his younger brother had grown up, was difficult to take care of, and had learned to be stubborn, so he smiled and said, "Qingshan, then you should get up and make breakfast tomorrow morning! Let big brother sleep a little longer."

Li Qingshan was dumbfounded and said: "Brother, I can't cook!"

Li Qingfeng waited and said, “Qingshan, you can’t cook and you can’t learn!”

"Really? You're not good at anything except eating. You wash the dishes after dinner."

After saying that, Li Qingfeng went back to the house, leaving the dumbfounded Li Qingshan standing behind him with his mouth open, not knowing what to say.

The next day, early in the morning, I, the older brother, made breakfast again.

After the brothers finished their meal, Li Qingfeng saw that it was still early, so he looked around the yard. The seasonal vegetables and onions, ginger and garlic planted in the fields were growing well.

The two hens in the house lay two eggs every day, just one for him and his brother for breakfast. Because he had eaten well during this period, Lai's brother's health had fully recovered and he had grown a lot taller. He didn't look like a refugee at all, but just like the young master of a landlord's family.

Li Qingfeng looked at it for a while, then went back to the house with two deeds, walked to his brother's door, knocked on the door and said loudly: "Qingshan, it's time to go out."

"I'm here, brother." Li Qingshan opened the door and walked out.

After locking the door, the two brothers walked towards the Dongcheng District Police Station.

When passing by No. 95 Nanluoguxiang, the legendary Qinman Courtyard, Li Qingfeng wanted to see who was inside, but the door was closed, which was a bit disappointing.

Oh! Let’s wait until we have time to come back and see what the legendary Sha Zhu looked like when he was a child!

The two brothers came all the way to the Dongcheng District Police Station. Li Qingfeng saw the scoundrel black dogs in front of him and thought to himself: "These black dogs are serving the Japanese now, and they will start serving the GMD in two years. They don't serve the common people at all."

“It is better to wait until our party comes and the new China is established before serving the people.”

"It's a bit too much to expect these black dogs to help you do something now, so you'd better use Yuan Datou to open the way!"

Ugh!

Li Qingfeng led his brother Li Qingshan to the office of the Household Registration Section of the police station. They saw only one person inside, who looked quite friendly.

So he walked forward, put five dollars on the table, and put his and his brother's property deeds on the table, then said with a smile: "Police officer, my two brothers want to settle down in the city."

The staff member of the household registration department looked up at him and his brother Qingshan, then calmly put the money into his pocket, took the two deeds and looked at them, without saying anything, and directly showed him the new household registration. At the end, he said, "Go to the finance office next door to pay."

Li Qingfeng said, "Thank you, police officer." Then he led his brother Li Qingshan to the finance office next door to pay the fees.

After leaving the police station, Li Qingshan looked at his new household registration and asked his eldest brother, "Brother, am I now a single-family household?"

Li Qingfeng gently rubbed his brother's head, then said softly: "Qingshan, what's wrong? If you become a householder, then I am no longer your brother?"

Li Qingshan smiled and said, "Of course you are my brother. You will be my brother forever."

Li Qingfeng said, "You little brat, a lifetime! Do you know how long a lifetime is?"

Li Qingshan nodded and said, "Brother, of course I know. A lifetime means forever."

Li Qingfeng smiled without saying anything. He put his and his brother's household registration and the house deed in his arms, actually putting them in the space. Then he put his arm around his brother's shoulders and walked home.

After they returned home, they saw that it was still early and they were bored and had nothing to do. They scratched their heads and felt that their hair was getting longer. So they stood at the door and shouted, "Qingshan, Qingshan."

"Brother, what's wrong?" Li Qingshan said standing at the door.

Li Qingfeng first looked at his brother's hair, which was quite long like his own, so he said, "Qingshan, get some clean clothes, and let's go to Tsinghua University to get a haircut and take a bath."

"I got it, brother." Li Qingshan went back to the house, got a set of clean clothes and came out.

The two brothers each took a set of clean clothes, locked the door, and walked towards Tsinghua University.

When we arrived at Tsinghua University, we bought two full-price tickets and went straight in.

Li Qingfeng saw that there were not many people inside, and most of them were old Beijingers who came to take a bath in the morning.

The two men took off their clothes and first went to a barber to have their heads shaved, both of them having short flat heads.

After shaving their heads, they went to the shower to rinse off the hair residue on their heads, then found a cleaner sink, used water to dry the dirt on their sleeping surfaces, took a deep breath and slowly went into the sink.

No wonder people like to take baths! Soaking in hot water makes you feel comfortable all over.

Li Qingfeng had never taken a long bath in his previous life. He always took a shower and had never been to a bath center. This was his first time to experience taking a bath. He would have to come here more often in the future.

After taking a bath, they asked the bath attendant to give them both a bath. After rinsing them clean, they trimmed their fingernails and toenails, and finally their ears were cleaned, which made them feel tingling and numb.

The two of them left Tsinghua University and went straight home with their dirty clothes.
