Rebirth of Siheyuan: Starting from escaping famine in 42

I don’t know how long it had been, but Li Qingfeng got up from bed with sleepy eyes, went to the toilet to relieve himself, and then went to the well to get a basin of water and washed his face. He immediately felt much more awake.

Li Qingfeng returned to the main room, poured some water to drink, lit a cigarette, and entered the space with his mind. He collected all the crops and eggs in the space and put them into the storage room. Then he crushed the wheat straw and corn stalks and placed them next to the livestock pen to use as feed for the livestock.

He sowed the seeds again on the vacant land and watered it before going to the storage room and taking out ten bags of flour, each weighing fifty kilograms.

I also took ten bags of cornmeal, each bag weighing fifty kilograms.

1000 kilograms of sweet potatoes and potatoes were taken and put into 10 large baskets.

After leaving the space, Li Qingfeng, with a cigarette in his mouth, opened the exit of the basement, leaving only two bags of cornmeal and 100 kilograms of sweet potatoes. He put the rest of the food into the underground storage room one by one and closed the exit of the basement.

Li Qingfeng drank a sip of water, finished a cigarette, then put a bag of cornmeal and 50 kilograms of sweet potatoes into the space again. He would take the rest to Lao Liu's house after his younger brother Li Qingshan came back from school.

Then he went to the kitchen, found a backpack, put it on his shoulder, and left the house. He took this opportunity to deliver the food to his father-in-law's house.

Why not send white flour? Because if Li Qingfeng sent white flour, he wouldn't know what to say.

You said that the flour was bought! No, there is no food on the market now! The food in Li Qingfeng's space is very fresh, and it is not sold outside.

I can only send you some cornmeal. White flour and cornmeal are not available in the market or on the black market.

Li Qingfeng arrived at the street where his father-in-law lived smoothly. Seeing that there was no one in the alley, he put the prepared food into a backpack with his mind, and found a piece of cloth to cover it so that no one could know what was inside the basket!

I came to my father-in-law's house and knocked on the door: "Dong! Dong! Dong!!!"

After a while, Wu's mother's voice came from inside: "Who is it?"

Li Qingfeng also said in a low voice: "Aunt, I am Qingfeng."

The voices of the two people talking sounded like a meeting between spies.

After a while, the sound of a sliding bolt was heard from inside the door. As the door opened, Wu's mother's voice rang out: "Qingfeng, why didn't you go to the restaurant? Is there anything you need from our home?" As she spoke, she moved aside to let Li Qingfeng in.

Li Qingfeng entered the courtyard and said, "Aunt, I see that there is no food to buy outside, so I will bring some over to you."

After Wu's mother locked the door, she wanted him to take it back after hearing this, and said, "Qingfeng, there is still food at home, you can take it back later!"

He came into the room, poured a bowl of water for Li Qingfeng, pushed it in front of him, and called out, "Qingfeng, drink some water."

"Thank you, auntie." Li Qingfeng picked up the bowl and drank a sip of water, then said, "Auntie, I bought a lot of food some time ago and put it at home. Please accept these!"

When Wu's mother heard this, she felt a little ashamed and a little happy.

Why was he ashamed? It was because since his daughter got engaged to him, Li Qingfeng, she hadn't helped him much and had only sent things to his family, so he felt a little ashamed.

She was happy because Li Qingfeng had not yet married her daughter. Even when they couldn't buy food outside, he still thought about his family. It seemed that Li Qingfeng was a trustworthy person, and her daughter would not suffer if she followed him in the future.

She went to the market outside for two consecutive days but failed to buy any food. She thought to herself that she should tell her head of the family that she should help Li Qingfeng more in the future. So she smiled and said to Li Qingfeng, "Qingfeng, I will accept the food. Thank you in advance. I will remember your kindness."

When Li Qingfeng heard this, he quickly waved his hand and said with a smile: "Auntie, there is no need to thank me. We are a family sooner or later. There is no need to be so polite."

"Auntie, please put all the food away so I can take the basket back later." Li Qingfeng lifted the cloth covering the basket and took out all the food.

When Wu's mother saw so much food, she was surprised and asked Li Qingfeng, "Qingfeng, why did you take so much food? I thought you only took ten or twenty kilograms."

"Qingfeng, do you have any food at home? Why don't you take half back?"

After Li Qingfeng threw the cloth into the backpack, he smiled and said to Wu's mother, "Aunt, don't worry. I bought a lot of food some time ago, so there is still a lot at home."

After hearing this, Wu's mother was relieved and said, "That's fine, as long as there is food at home."

Afterwards, Wu's mother and Li Qingfeng chatted about some family matters. After learning that Li Qingfeng's master had closed the restaurant because there was no food in the market, Wu asked, "Qingfeng, since the restaurant is closed, why don't you ask your uncle to find you a job in the police station?"

After hearing this, Li Qingfeng thought to himself, the master opened a restaurant because he couldn't be too idle and wanted to find something for himself to do. Now that the restaurant is closed, I wonder if the master still plans to open a restaurant?

He also doesn't want to keep cooking in a restaurant because that would make him age quickly.

Just talk to Master about it when the time comes. Master is still very healthy now, so it is too early to talk about his retirement. Just visit him more often when you are free.

After thinking it through, Li Qingfeng smiled and said to Wu's mother: "Aunt, it's not a good idea for me to stay idle at home now, so I'll trouble you with the work."

Mother Wu smiled and said, "What's the trouble? As long as you don't mind the black skin, it's fine. After all, it has a bad reputation."

Li Qingfeng waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, auntie, I don't mind. As long as we don't harm the common people, that's fine."

After that, the two chatted for a while, and Li Qingfeng stood up to say goodbye, smiling and saying, "Aunt, I'll go back first."

"Qingfeng, don't wait for Lirong anymore." Mother Wu stood up and said.

Li Qingfeng came to the gate and said to Wu's mother, "Aunt, come and see Li Rong when she is not in class."

"Okay, Qingfeng, be careful on your way back." Mother Wu said to Li Qingfeng while standing at the door.

"I understand, Auntie, please go back to your room!" Li Qingfeng said, turned around and left.

After seeing Li Qingfeng's figure going away, Wu's mother closed the door, came into the house, looked at the food on the table, smiled for the first time in a long time, and then put the food in the kitchen.

When the boss gets home from get off work at night, he has to tell him that Qingfeng came to deliver food to the house and that he was asked to work at the police station.

Li Qingfeng came to the street and looked at the scattered figures on the street. He thought to himself that the people now have no food to eat and are all lying at home, trying not to go out. This way, the food they eat cannot be digested quickly, and they can save some food.
