Siheyuan: Reborn in 59 years of famine, with a wife and daughter

Watching Lin Qiye calmly leading Li Yueling and Lin Beibei, the family of three headed towards the west expansion yard in the backyard.

The neighbors watching in the central courtyard were in an uproar.

"What's wrong with Lin Qiye? Why is he still so calm? He is in big trouble this time."

"Yeah, this guy is really bold. He caused such a big incident, but he can still remain calm."

"Could it be that Lin Qiye is pretending to be calm, but actually wants to expand the courtyard to the west from the backyard and escape over the wall out of everyone's sight?"

"No way. This is a society ruled by law. Even if he escapes, where can he go?"

"But do you feel that Lin Qiye seems to have become a different person?"

"Yes, yes. He seems to have become much smarter, and his eloquence has improved. He is also full of pride. Most importantly, he seems to have become gentler towards his wife."

"Yes, yes, could it be that Lin Qiye has really come to his senses, or... could it be that he has been possessed by that thing?"

"Nonsense! This is a new society. Don't talk about these superstitious things. Be careful or you'll be arrested and sent to labor camp."

"But no matter what, what Lin Qiye did this time is really satisfying."

"But it's a pity that I have offended Yi Zhonghai. I'm afraid my final outcome will be somewhat miserable."

……

The neighbors in the compound started chatting with each other.

But they were reluctant to leave, so they waited in the Intermediate Courtyard, waiting for Yi Zhonghai and others to invite people from the neighborhood committee and the Public Security Bureau to watch a good show.

After all, there are no entertainment activities these days, and it’s boring to stay at home.

Comparatively speaking, waiting here to watch the show is much more interesting than going home. The most important thing is that you can witness what happens and have something to talk about in front of colleagues and friends after dinner.

This is the best gossip topic. What happened in the compound today, they can brag about it tomorrow, and it will definitely attract a lot of people's interest.

Now that Yi Zhonghai is not here, everyone finally dares to whisper and express their thoughts.

In the west extension of the backyard, Lin Qiye and Li Yueling had just returned home, holding Lin Beibei.

"Qiye, why don't you leave quickly and come back after you've gotten over this storm? I'm worried that Yi Zhonghai will invite people from the Public Security Bureau and the neighborhood committee, and it will be too late by then... I... I don't want you to go to jail."

As she spoke, Li Yueling's eyes actually turned red.

Yes, Lin Qiye had just become the ideal husband in her mind, and she really didn’t want anything to happen to Lin Qiye.

Lin Qiye smiled and said, "Silly, what are you thinking? How could I possibly go to jail? That silly Zhu obviously only had superficial injuries. The blood on his face was all smeared from his nostrils. Can't you see that?"

"But...even if that's the case, I'm really worried about whether you will be punished."

"Don't worry. If I say it's okay, then it's okay. If Yi Zhonghai wants to deal with me like this, I will turn the tables on him."

Seeing Lin Qiye's confident look, Li Yueling felt a lot more relieved.

But now, she was finding it increasingly difficult to figure out her husband, and she couldn't figure out any good way to defeat Yi Zhonghai.

But now, he inexplicably believed in Lin Qiye in his heart. After all, Lin Qiye's performance today was really different from the past. The word "excellent" was not enough to describe it.

It was also the first time that Li Yueling saw someone in this compound who could openly resist Yi Zhonghai and even surpass Yi Zhonghai in skills.

Lin Qiye put Lin Beibei on the kang and said, "You two can play. I'll go to the kitchen to ferment the dough and make white flour buns for you two."

When she heard the word "white flour buns", Lin Beibei's eyes brightened.

"Oh, oh, oh, there are steamed buns to eat. That's great. Daddy is going to make steamed buns for me."

Due to financial difficulties, Lin Qiye's family only ate coarse grain steamed buns during this period. They could not eat white flour steamed buns, which were considered a fine food in that era.

When Lin Beibei heard her father say this, her saliva started to flow.

Li Yueling asked curiously, "Making white flour buns? Qiye, our family hasn't bought white flour for several months. Where did you get the white flour to make buns?"

Lin Qiye smiled and said, "I won a few dollars playing Pai Gow in the alley a few days ago, so I bought some and put them in the kitchen cabinet. I guess you didn't see them."

Lin Qiye deliberately lied. He couldn't tell his wife that the flour was a reward from the system.

In Lin Qiye's impression, the previous owner of this body was a bad guy who did nothing all day and was addicted to gambling.

This excuse is just right and the wife will definitely not doubt it.

Sure enough, Li Yueling had no doubts.

After that, Lin Qiye took out another big black ten and handed it to Li Yueling, saying, "Wife, here is ten yuan, which I won from playing Pai Gow. Take it. I'm going out tomorrow. Go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some good vegetables and weigh two pounds of meat. Come back and cook something delicious for you and Beibei."

Looking at Lin Qiye's actions, Li Yueling was completely stunned and stood there in a daze.

After all, my husband's behavior today really was like a completely different person.

In the past, Lin Qiye only got money from his family, so he would never give her money from outside.

Looking at the dazed Li Yueling, Lin Qiye stuffed the money directly into her hand.

He said, "But I will probably need to take the bus tomorrow. If you have money, give me a dollar in change and I will use it to buy the ticket."

Li Yueling came back to her senses and said, "Yes, I saved five dollars from the money I earned from cleaning the streets this month, thinking that our family's living expenses for the second half of the month depend on these five dollars.

Just wait, I'll get it for you.

It's only seven nights, why do you want to buy a ticket and go out?"

Lin Qiye smiled and said, "I plan to take a car out of the city and go hunting in the mountains and forests outside the city. After all, our family is in such a difficult situation, and as a grown man, I have to find a way to live a good life.

When I make money, you can quit your job as a street sweeper and concentrate on being a housewife at home. After all, you can only earn about ten yuan a month by sweeping the streets. It's not necessary to do that job in the sun and rain."

After hearing Lin Qiye's words, Li Yueling suddenly felt warm in her heart. She didn't expect that her husband would be so caring and considerate of her.

The Lin Qiye of the past would never take the initiative to earn money to support his family. It was simply impossible.

Although she was happy in her heart, Li Yueling was still a little worried about Lin Qiye.

“Qiye, but you’ve never hunted before, you don’t know how to set traps, and you don’t know how to find prey.

Besides, there are ferocious beasts like wild boars and wolves in the mountains, and I’m worried that you might be in danger.

Or you should not go. Actually… Actually, it is not too hard for me to sweep the streets. If we save money, we can still make a living.”

At this time, Lin Qiye couldn't help but stroke Li Yuling's hair, and then stroked her face.

He said, "Don't worry, silly boy, I'm not stupid. Besides, I'm just hunting on the edge of the mountains, so I won't encounter wild beasts.

Just think of it as me trying my luck. If I can kill prey, our family can improve our lives."

Looking at Lin Qiye's determined eyes, Li Yueling knew that he was determined to leave.

Although she was worried, Li Yueling was still very happy. After all, her husband seemed to have really started to consider the family and started to find ways to change the current situation of the family.

Now, seeing her husband like this, Li Yueling feels that her life has begun to have direction and hope.
