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

"Did you take Shazhu, Xu Damao, Yan Jiecheng, and Liu Guangqi to his grandmother's house for lunch?"

"Yeah." Jia Dongxu nodded and said, "But don't worry, we won't suffer any loss. I collected the meal money in advance before I brought them into Qinjia Village."

"How much did you charge?"

"I received fifty cents from each person."

"How can this be? They're charging $1.50 for wild boar meat. Hurry up and ask them for another dollar."

Jia Dongxu nodded in agreement, then looked at Xu Damao, Sha Zhu, Liu Guangqi and Yan Jiecheng.

He said, "By the way, you four, today's lunch has wild boar meat, so you have to pay extra, one dollar and fifty cents per portion, and each of you four has to give me one dollar."

Xu Damao glanced at Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu and said, "Qin Huairu, Jia Dongxu, you are doing a shady business. You let the old man provide us with food, but you are collecting money here. Aren't you afraid of conscience condemnation? Why should we give you this money? We are not eating at your Jia's house. If you want to give us money, you should give it to Banggeng's grandma and grandpa."

"You...Xu Damao, give me the money quickly, or I won't take you to Grandma Banggeng's house for dinner next time we go hunting."

"No, we will bring our own dry food next time."

Several people are now preparing to go to Qinjialing. Since Lin Qiye said that the prey was hunted in Qinjialing, they are going to follow Lin Qiye next time to see and then they will know whether it is true or not.

Qinjialing is so big, maybe there is no prey where they are going today. Then we can follow Lin Qiye to see where his hunting area is in Qinjialing.

"Wow, your compound is really lively. That's perfect. We don't have to gather everyone together."

Everyone looked and saw that the person coming was none other than Liu Jianguo from the Public Security Bureau.

Seeing the person coming, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui went to greet him.

Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui greeted him in unison: "Officer Liu."

Liu Jianguo nodded and said, "Is Lin Qiye from your compound here?"

"Yes, yes, yes, what do you want to do with Lin Qiye? Did Lin Qiye do something wrong or get into trouble?"

Afterwards, Liu Haizhong looked at Lin Qiye in the crowd and said, "Lin Qiye, come here quickly. What have you done wrong? Let Officer Liu find you."

Liu Jianguo looked in the direction where Lin Qiye was, walked over, and then looked at Sha Zhu, Jia Dongxu, Yan Jiecheng, Liu Guangqi and others who were covered in dust.

Said: "Hey, did you just practice? Do you want our Public Security Bureau to be your referee?"

The four of them quickly waved their hands and said with a smile, "No, no, no, Officer Liu, we are just practicing and learning from each other. We are not fighting, so please don't bother me."

Several people understood Liu Jianguo's character. If they knew that they were the ones who beat up Lin Qiye, or that they were the first to start the fight and were beaten in the end, Liu Jianguo would not blame Lin Qiye at all.

He could only scold them for being useless. Lin Qiye couldn't bear any punishment for this.

"Okay, okay, young people need to practice more, otherwise they will not dare to stand up and do what is right when they encounter robberies and thieves on the street. Ren Lin Qiye caught a knife-wielding robber today. You should learn from Ren Lin Qiye in this matter."

As he spoke, Liu Jianguo waved to his colleagues at the Public Security Bureau in the back and said, "Bring up the big red flowers and the bonuses."

The people at the back brought up a big red flower and put it on Lin Qiye, and also pulled out a red envelope wrapped in red paper, which contained a reward of thirty yuan, ten kilograms of meat coupons, and thirty kilograms of grain coupons.

There is also a "Certificate of Confirmation of Acts of Bravery".

Everyone was envious when they saw it. Although the reward was not too much, having this certificate for bravery would make many things much easier in the future. It was real honor.

Lin Qiye pinched the money in the red envelope. It was a thick stack, so it should be a considerable amount.

Lin Qiye smiled and said, "Officer Liu, isn't this too much? I just caught a petty thief, and you gave me such a large reward."

"Not much at all. This was a unanimous decision made by our Public Security Bureau at a meeting. Comrade Qiye, do you know who the gangster you subdued today was?"

Lin Qiye shook his head, looking confused: "Who is it?"

"He is Li Changlong, a famous bandit leader from the hilltops over in the West Mountain. He is also known as Li Erba Zi. After we destroyed the bandit dens around Sijiu City, Li Erba Zi has been on the run ever since. So, Lin Qiye, you have done a great deed."

When Lin Qiye heard this, he was also shocked. He didn't expect that the petty thief he just caught for robbery turned out to be a bandit leader.

The neighbors in the compound were also shocked. They had heard of the vicious reputation of Li Erbazi from Xishan.

Before the People's Liberation Army launched an anti-bandit campaign, Li Erba was very rampant.

The guy in Xishan was doing all kinds of evil and I heard that he had killed several people. He was a real desperado, but I didn't expect that he was subdued by Lin Qiye.

Sha Zhu, Jia Dongxu, Xu Damao, Liu Guangqi, Yan Jiecheng and others were also dumbfounded on the spot. No wonder none of them could beat Lin Qiye, who was able to subdue a desperate criminal.

If we really let go and beat them, I guess they wouldn't even know how they died.

He Yushui said to Liu Jianguo: "Officer Liu, please tell us what happened and how did Brother Qiye achieve merit?"

Liu Jianguo cleared his throat and talked freely. Since this matter was to be praised in public and Lin Qiye was to be made a role model for everyone, then naturally he had to tell everyone the details of what happened.

"This morning, Mr. Lou, the director of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, was targeted by a robber who came down from the mountains on the street. His wallet was stolen. It was Lin Qiye who bravely stepped in to save the day..."

Liu Jianguo recounted all the details of what happened at that time, and looked at Lin Qiye with eyes full of appreciation.

He said to Lin Qiye again: "Okay, Comrade Lin Qiye, although the bonus is not much, it is also a reward from the country for your bravery. Keep carrying forward this spirit in the future."

"Okay, thank you, Officer Liu."

Liu Jianguo made another passionate speech, asking the neighbors in the compound to learn from Lin Qiye, and then led the team away.

After Liu Jianguo left, Lin Qiye, who had gained a lot of Jealous Woman's Emotion Value, did not stay in the courtyard. He took his wife and daughter and walked towards the west wing of the backyard.

Seeing that the show was over, everyone dispersed. Yan Bugui returned to the front yard and fiddled with his flowers and plants.

Just then, someone brought a sewing machine on a human-powered tricycle, and two people carried it into the No. 95 compound. Immediately afterwards, another person came into the compound pushing a bicycle.

Yan Bugui knew these guys, the guys at Fei Ge bicycle store and Fei Ge sewing machine store on Qianmen Street.

Yan Bugui was puzzled. Who in this courtyard was so rich that they could buy a sewing machine and a bicycle at once?

Yan Bugui asked curiously, "Two young masters, who bought this bicycle and sewing machine?"

The guy said, "It's Lin Qiye from your compound."

As they talked, and ignoring Yan Bugui's envious look, several people pushed Fei Ge brand bicycles and carried sewing machines and walked into the yard.

There were not many entertainment activities these days. When people heard that someone in the courtyard had bought something big, many of them gathered around, all of them curious about who was so capable as to buy two large items at once, and they were branded goods.

Amid the envious and jealous gazes of their neighbors in the compound, Lin Qiye and his wife put away their sewing machine and bicycle.
