Rebirth of Siheyuan: Starting from escaping famine in 42

"Weiguo, tell me why you want to join the army?"

Wu Lirong squatted in front of Li Weiguo, reached out and gently rubbed his head, and asked him softly.

Li Weiguo thought for a moment, then shook his head and whispered, "Mom, I don't know why either."

"But after watching that war movie tonight, I have the idea of ​​joining the army in my mind."

At this time, Li Qingfeng lit a cigarette and said in a deep voice: "Weiguo, the idea is good, but you can't do it now."

"Look at your skinny arms and legs, and you're not even that tall! Who would want you to join the army?"

Li Chengman smiled and agreed: "Yes! Weiguo, you are still young now, wait until you grow up before going."

"During this period of time, you should eat more and exercise more to make your body strong. Do you understand?"

Li Weiguo felt a little disappointed, but he still nodded and said, "Grandpa, I understand."

"What a great grandson of grandpa."

Li Chengman was very optimistic about the sensible Li Weiguo and hugged him gently.

Wu Lirong was also beside Li Weiguo. She leaned over and whispered something comforting in his ear.

At this time, Li Qingfeng continued to say to the other children: "Wei Jun, Wei Hong, Wei Ming, what do you three want to do when you grow up? Do you have any ideals?"

After hearing Li Qingfeng's question, Li Chengman and Wu Lirong were looking at Wei Jun and the other three.

Even Li Weiguo looked at his younger brothers and sisters curiously, wanting to know what their ideals were and whether they would join the army like him.

Li Weimin asked in confusion: "Dad, what is an ideal?"

Hearing this, Wu Lirong, Li Chengman, and Li Weiguo all laughed.

Li Qingfeng rolled his eyes at his youngest son in his heart and said unhappily, "Wei Min, you don't even know what you do at school?"

When Li Weimin was asked, he stammered and couldn't utter a word.

Wu Lirong smiled and said, "Wei Min, ideal means what do you want to do when you grow up?"

"Just like your eldest brother, he wants to join the army when he grows up. What about you?"

Before Li Weimin could speak, the second oldest, Li Weijun, couldn't wait to say, "Grandpa, Dad, Mom, I want to be like you when I grow up."

"I want to be a policeman. It's very powerful and impressive."

Hearing this, Li Qingfeng said unhappily: "You only know how to be powerful and impressive. Being a police officer means you have to work for the people."

Li Chengman smiled and said, "The child is still young, what can he understand?"

"When the guards grow up, they will understand the nature of the police."

"Wei Jun, do you think what grandpa said is right?"

Li Weijun nodded blankly and said, "Grandpa, you are right."

After hearing this, Li Chengman laughed out loud.

"Ha ha!"

Then he asked his granddaughter and grandson, "Wei Hong, Wei Min, where are you two?"

Li Weimin rushed to speak: "Grandpa, I want to learn cooking from my father, so that I can eat delicious food every day."

Li Qingfeng said with a straight face: "That's all you can do."

Li Chengman smiled and said, "Wei Min, don't bother with your father. Being able to eat is a blessing."

Li Qingfeng turned to look at his daughter again, wanting to know what her ideal was.

Li Weimin muttered in his heart, this is what he thought! Isn't it ideal to eat delicious food every day?

Li Weihong smiled and said, "Grandpa, Mom, Dad, I want to be a teacher."

Wu Lirong smiled and said, "This is a good idea. Being a teacher can educate people."

Li Chengman smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's good to be a teacher."

Li Weihong felt a little guilty when she heard what her grandfather and mother said. She became a teacher just to assign homework to students however she wanted.

Of course, she could only think about this in her mind and could not say it out loud, otherwise her father would beat her, and her mother and grandfather would not stop her.

At this time, Li Qingfeng stood up and said in a deep voice: "Okay, okay, Dad, it's quite late, go and rest!"

Li Chengman looked at the time on his watch, then stood up and said, "Yeah! It's too late, it's almost 11 o'clock, it's time to go to bed."

"Come on, Weiguo, and the three of you, grandpa will take you to wash up and go to bed."

After saying that, he led the Weiguo siblings and the fourth brother to wash up.

Wu Lirong also followed to the kitchen to help boil water.

Li Qingfeng waited for his father, wife, and children to finish washing up before going to the kitchen to soak his feet and wash up.

When Wu Lirong waited for Li Qingfeng to return to the room and lie on the kang, she gently touched him with her elbow and said softly, "Brother Qingfeng, it's a good thing for children to have ideals. We have to support them."

Hearing this, Li Qingfeng was a little puzzled. He didn't understand why Li Rong said that. He turned over and looked at her, asking in confusion: "Li Rong, why do you say that!"

Wu Lirong replied angrily: "You are the one who undermined their confidence."

"The children just spoke their minds, and instead of praising them, you said something that discouraged them."

Li Qingfeng smiled and said, "I didn't say I don't support it!"

"I am the good cop, and you and our father are the bad cops. The three of us can't all praise them, or they will get carried away and that's not good for them."

Wu Lirong turned over, with her back to Li Qingfeng, and said unhappily, "You are the only one who is smart. I won't say any more. Let's go to sleep."

Li Qingfeng smiled silently, then hugged Wu Lirong.

Wu Lirong couldn't struggle free, so she let Li Qingfeng hold her, and they both fell asleep soon.

 …

The next day.

Li Weiguo got up early, dressed, went to the yard, and practiced the horse stance his father taught him.

When Li Qingfeng came out and saw this scene, he did not say anything to stop him, but stood aside and talked about his shortcomings.

"Weiguo, keep your back straight, don't lean forward."

Li Weiguo didn't have time to reply and could only nod slightly in response to his father.

Li Qingfeng added: "It's not good to do horse stance for a long time, just keep doing it for about 30 minutes."

"Also, when you are doing horse stance, you must make sure your feet are slightly tilted outwards 15 degrees, and the distance between your legs should be the same as your shoulders."

Li Weiguo nodded, indicating that he understood, and he calculated the time in his mind.

Seeing his eldest son's legs trembling, Li Qingfeng stopped him and said, "Okay, stop! That's all for today, and we'll continue tomorrow."

Li Weiguo slowly stood up, nodded and said, "I understand, Dad. I will continue to work hard."

After moving slowly for a while, Li Weiguo went to wash up.

After breakfast.

Li Weiguo took Wei Jun and his three children, as well as Wei Qiang, to school.

After sending them all to the classroom, Li Weiguo came to his own class.

As soon as I entered the classroom, I heard some classmates talking about last night's movie.

Li Weiguo quickly put his schoolbag on his desk, then moved closer to them and started discussing with them.

I also told them that my family agreed that I could join the army when I grew up.

The classmates around him looked at Li Weiguo with envy. Some of them also wanted to join the army when they grew up, but their families did not agree.
