Siheyuan: Rebirth 52 years later, escaping from famine in Beijing

"Let's go to a restaurant? How much does it cost?"

When Cheng Zhihan heard that they were going out to eat, her eyes lit up and she was very happy, but she immediately remembered that it meant spending money.

I couldn't help but feel a little reluctant.

Seeing Cheng Zhihan's cute reaction, Lu Weimin laughed immediately, thinking that the old saying is right - people who love you don't want to spend your money, but people who don't love you will keep asking you to spend money. This saying is very applicable even in this era. For example, just like the attitude towards "Qin Huairu" towards "Shazhu":

"Don't worry, it's not expensive. We eat out often. I only make over 100 yuan a month. This high salary is enough for us to eat out every day!"

After hearing this reply, Cheng Zhihan felt relieved.

Before leaving home to go to the restaurant, Lu Weimin cleaned the dust in the house again. Since he had to go to work the next day, it was unclear when he would be able to come back here next time. Therefore, cleaning this place was essential.

After that, he carefully locked the doors and windows, and then rode his bicycle to take Han out to a nearby restaurant for dinner.

After eating, he drove her back to her small residence in the courtyard. Lu Weimin instructed:

“Xiao Han, resting more in the house or taking more slow walks will help with your recovery.

I have to get some clothes and do some shopping, so I guess I’ll be back a little later.”

Cheng Zhihan nodded and responded: "Brother Weimin, I know everything. Just go buy some clothes. I'm not too tired, I want to hold on to some furniture and see if I can walk a few more steps!"

Lu Weimin instructed again: "You have to control the degree appropriately. If you feel pain in your legs, stop immediately. It is most important to rest at the right time!" She promised that she would pay attention.

Lu Weimin walked out of the room, pushed his bicycle out of the door, and was about to hit the road when he ran into He Yushui who was also going out.

Seeing Lu Weimin, He Yushui's eyes suddenly lit up, and she smiled sweetly and asked, "Brother Weimin, is Sister Xiaohan in the room?"

Wei Min replied: "Yes, come and chat with her!"

He Yushui danced with joy: "That's great, I can play with my sister!"

Watching He Yushui running into the house excitedly, Lu Weimin thought to himself that if they moved away in the future, she would definitely be very sad when she found out that she could no longer live in the same place with Xiaohan.

Then he rode his bike onto the street towards the front door. Was he really going to meet Chen Xueru again?

Her innocent and sexy face and charming figure can't help but appear in my mind...

Wei Min rode to Qianmen Street. It was already dusk. Qianmen Street was bustling with people and cars. Occasionally, patrolling soldiers could be seen passing by. It was truly a prosperous commercial district in the city.

Lu Weimin parked his car outside Chen's Silk Shop, unlocked it, and went straight in without worrying about being stolen.

The store seemed particularly busy today, with many people shopping. Lu Weimin noticed several workers from the Lou Steel Rolling Mill wearing blue work clothes with the Chinese character "Lou" embroidered on their chests.

The owner Zhang Xueru changed into a new dress today, which made her skin look even whiter and more translucent, making her look particularly charming. She was talking to a man holding a notebook, gesturing with her slender hands from time to time. Although she was only eighteen years old, she exuded a strong aura.

The man holding the notebook either exchanged a few words with him or nodded in agreement, and from time to time he drew something on the notebook with the pencil in his hand.

Next to Zhang Xueru stood a young man, about 23 or 24 years old, of medium build, with a styled hairdo, wearing a suit and tie, and a pair of polished leather shoes. He stared at Zhang Xueru with an obsessed look. However, it was obvious that Zhang Xueru didn't want to pay attention to this man.

But the young man in the suit was very thick-skinned and still had a smile on his face, without a trace of embarrassment.

Listen carefully.

Lu Weimin quickly understood:

The man holding the book is a pursuer;

The other is the master who is responsible for the store’s interior decoration design.

From this, it seems that Zhang Xueru is preparing to renovate the store.

Seeing Zhang Xueru busy, Lu Weimin did not bother her and waited until she was done. Just as Lu Weimin entered the store, Zhang Xueru, who was busy talking and observing the dynamics of various places, saw him, her eyes immediately lit up, and she immediately told the man:

"Master Wang, please draw a design for me based on my suggestion. I'm going to receive an important guest!"

After that, Zhang Xueru immediately came over to greet Lu Weimin and said softly: "Brother Weimin, why did you come to see me just now? I missed you so much..."

The man in the suit noticed Zhang Xueru's intimate words and immediately became alert. He looked at the young handsome man, his face suddenly changed, and he felt very upset: Why did Zhang Xueru treat him and herself so differently?

Lu Weimin didn't expect Zhang Xueru to notice him so quickly, and he didn't expect her to address him so intimately.

I just thought she was part of a business ploy and didn't pay much attention to it:

"Zhang **, I haven't seen you for a long time. I've been really busy lately, so I just had time to come and get the clothes! Are you ready?"

Zhang Xueru showed a friendly smile and responded: "It's been a long time since I've been waiting for you! Why do you still call me Zhang **? It's too formal. Just call me Xueru!"

Indeed, Zhang Xueru's smile is very contagious and charming, which shows that her business family does have a certain talent in this area.

But as far as Lu Weimin knows, in reality, Zhang Xueru does not show the same enthusiasm to every guest. She treats them differently.

Although I don't understand why Chen Xueru is so close and enthusiastic to me, it does make me feel warm in my heart: "Okay! From now on, I will call you Xueru!"

Chen Xueru smiled: "That's more like it! Xueru, Xueru, it sounds so intimate!"

At this time, the man in a suit came over, forced a smile and said, "Xueru, who is this?" Chen Xueru responded indifferently:

"Boss Hou, don't call me Xueru so affectionately. People will think we have a very good relationship. Just call me Boss Chen."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hou Jun's face suddenly darkened: "Xue Ru, weren't we getting along well when we were dating? The matchmaker also said that you liked me, why did you change your mind so soon after?"

Lu Weimin finally realized that the man in a suit was Chen Xueru's blind date. However, it was obvious that Chen Xueru didn't want to pay any attention to him.

Chen Xueru was quite displeased when she heard Hou Jun mention the blind date in front of Lu Weimin, and her tone became sharp: "I never said I like you! I guess Matchmaker Zhang must have made a mistake! But it's a good thing to talk about it now.

If you want to come to my shop to buy fabrics, you are always welcome to do so, and there are discounts; if you come to me for personal matters, please find someone else! ”

Chen Xueru's frankness made Hou Jun look even uglier.

Seeing this scene, Lu Weimin secretly admired in his heart. When Chen Xueru spoke gently, it was like a spring breeze and rain; once she changed her attitude, she was so decisive and straightforward.

In the original drama, when she divorced her first husband, she immediately fell in love with Fan Jinyou and was extremely proactive, but the premise was that Fan Jinyou must be a public official. When he was found to be just a contract worker and not a civil servant, she immediately became cold.

From this we can see that even though she is only eighteen years old, she has already formed her own unique personality - if she likes someone, she will give everything without reservation; if she hates someone, she will not care who the other person is and will not take him or her seriously at all.

At this time, the angry Hou Jun shouted loudly:

"Chen Xueru, you have to think clearly! I am the young master of Hou's medicine shop, and I am an intellectual who studied abroad. There are countless girls chasing me, and it is your luck that I fell in love with you. How can you not know how to cherish it? Aren't you afraid that I will regret it if you miss me?"

Hou Jun's voice was so loud that it attracted the attention of customers and workers in the store.

"What! This guy in a suit and tie is actually a returned scholar?"

"He is the young master of the Hou family's pharmacy? So he wants to marry Chen **! If the two of them become a couple, wouldn't it be even more powerful!"

"Whether you return from overseas or not, it's useless if our boss doesn't like you!"

Seeing that everyone in the store was surprised at his background, Hou Jun seemed extremely pleased and even more confident: "Have you thought it through now? If you agree, we can announce the engagement tomorrow!" However, Chen Xueru didn't care at all.

"Although you are the young master of the Hou family, don't forget that I am also the daughter of the Chen family and the only daughter of the owner of the Chen's Silk Shop."

As for your identity as a student studying in the United States, what's so great about it? Isn't it just studying in a capitalist country?

Now this capitalist country is joining forces with ** to fight us in the north. Isn't it a hostile country?

You were educated in a hostile country, how dare you boast and be arrogant? Do you think this is glorious?

You always emphasize that you studied abroad in imperialist countries. Are you looking down on our country's college students?

Were you poisoned by the ** there, indoctrinated with the ** ideology, and flaunting the ** of the imperialist country? "

Lu Weimin's eyes lit up: "F*ck! This Chen Xueru is really good at speaking. She started to accuse me of all kinds of things and really hit the nail on the head!"

Sure enough, after Chen Xueru finished speaking, the atmosphere at the scene immediately changed. Those who had previously envied Hou Jun's status as an overseas student quickly changed their attitudes and began to dislike those who were corrupted by the "sugar-coated bullets" of imperialism:

"Boss Chen is right. What is there for a person who studied abroad in an imperialist country to brag about?"

"The United States is invading our friendly country in the north, abusing our soldiers, they are our enemies. Mr. Hou, you are studying in their country, not only are you shameless but you are also complacent. What is your purpose?"

Hou Jun's face suddenly showed panic, thinking, did Chen Xueru really know something? Or was she just guessing? If she attracted the patrolling soldiers outside, he would be in trouble. He quickly explained:
