Rebirth in 1958: Getting rich starts from Nanluoguxiang

Seeing her son crying, Lu Xiu'e stopped and her anger subsided a lot, but she was still frightened. What happened today scared her to death. Her son was sent back by his classmates, dripping wet, and he was drowsy and could not be woken up no matter how she called him. She was scared to death. In her heart, her three children were her life.

After asking, I found out that a few kids made a bet and went swimming in the river. My son choked on the water, so he was sent back.

Lu Xiu'e was angry and distressed, and she also blamed her husband Qin Qingyou.

The eldest son graduated from high school. He had good grades and was expected to be admitted to university. However, the day before the August exam, Qin Qingyou bought a pound of pork belly to cheer him up and give him more nutrition. He made braised pork for the whole family to eat. However, the meat turned out to be rotten. That night, the whole family was admitted to the hospital for intravenous drips.

The exam was delayed, and Lu Xiu'e was so angry that she almost flew to heaven. This old bastard did such stupid things instead of doing serious things.

However, Lu Xiu'e also understood that her son's father had good intentions but ended up doing something wrong. There was nothing she could do, and since her son didn't want to repeat his studies, she could only ask someone to find him a job.

It's just that Qin Qingyou is too honest and has no dealings with anyone, so he can't find the right person to help him through others. It's too difficult to find a job now, so he just gave up. Qin Dabao can only stay at home unemployed.

Lu Xiu'e also doesn't have a job. Her family of five depends on Qin Qing's salary for their livelihood. She also has to support her parents and brothers every now and then, which makes life very tight.

Lu Xiu'e sighed secretly. It was no wonder that her son went out to play all day. How could such a grown man stay at home?

She pulled her son over and touched his head. Fortunately, he didn't have a fever. It seemed that after practicing boxing with Master Tong for more than half a year, his physique was in good shape.

Qin Dabao wanted to cry as soon as he saw his mother. If his mother had not died of illness, the family would not have been devastated. His father and mother had a very good relationship. After his mother died, his father was extremely sad and drank all day to drown his sorrows, becoming a well-known drunkard.

Qin Dabao also resented his father. If he hadn't been taking care of his drunk father, he couldn't have ignored his sister who had a high fever. As a result, not only was he late in sending her to the hospital, but he also met a mediocre doctor who gave the wrong injection. As a result, his sister became mentally retarded, and he had to take care of them for decades.

Niu Niu crawled over, snuggled into her mother's arms with her little mouth grinning, acted coquettishly and secretly smiled at her brother.

Qin Dabao had been beaten now, and the pain had made him completely accept the fact that he was reborn. He stared at his sister with wide eyes, thinking, "This little rascal only knows how to flatter her mother."

"Mom, where's my little brother?"

"Have you forgotten? Last Sunday, I asked your father to send you home with your grandma. If he had gone home, he would have been so angry that he would die."

His younger brother Qin Erbao was seven years old. As soon as the Yuhong class was on vacation, he was sent back to Qinjiagou. He was too naughty and never behaved all day. There was no room for him to stay in the yard at home.

"Your father went to the factory. He worked overtime to finish the work. He needs to take two days off. The day after tomorrow, your second brother's son Goudan is getting engaged."

Qin Dabao also remembered at this time that his second brother Qin Dadi was actually the eldest in the clan. He was a descendant of the same great grandfather, so they were considered relatives and had a close relationship.

He remembered that something rather melodramatic happened when Goudan got engaged, which immediately piqued his interest.

"When will I return to the countryside?"

"Tomorrow morning, your father bought 20 kilograms of cornmeal. Give 10 kilograms to your grandfather and his family."

At this time, someone called out from outside the window: "Xiu'e, there are big radishes in the vegetable store, do you want to buy some?"

"Buy, buy, buy, buy." Lu Xiu'e responded, quickly pushed Niuniu aside, opened the kangqin, took out the non-staple food book, and said while tying her headscarf: "Dabaozi, you stay home and look after your sister. I'll go buy some big radishes and come back to make dumplings for you."

She also felt sorry for her son and decided to make a good meal for him.

Lu Xiu'e hurried away with the basket on her shoulder.

Qin Dabao put on a cotton jacket and cotton pants. It had been a long time since he had worn pants with such a big crotch. He felt quite comfortable when he put them on.

Putting on his cotton shoes, he wanted to go out and see the yard in his memory.

In his previous life, when his family renovated their courtyard, the developer gave them a large sum of money and three houses. After they moved out, this courtyard gradually became a memory.

Niu Niu is now two years and one month old. Except for her slightly large tongue, she is very smart and well-behaved. However, because of a shot from the doctor, the child has remained two or three years old forever. This is what hurts Dabao the most. He looks back at Niu Niu lying on the kang, holding a half-pencil and drawing on a piece of paper.

Dabao couldn't help but wonder, if his sister hadn't had that fever, if the doctor hadn't given the wrong injection, would she have become a painter in the future?

Qin Dabao shook his head, trying to get rid of this thought from his mind. If there was a regret pill in this world, rebirth would be it.

When he opened the door, a cold wind blew in his face and he couldn't help sneezing. It was really cold today.

Qin Dabao lives in Nanluoguxiang, a very old alley with Gulou Street at its north end and Ping'an Street at its south end. It is located right in the center of Beijing.

This alley is full of courtyard houses, but the side close to Gulou Street has two or three courtyards, while the side where his family lives has only one courtyard. In the words of old Beijing people, it is a slum and not upscale.

This quadrangle courtyard is a unique architectural style in Beijing.

The so-called "four" refers to the east, west, south and north.

"He" means that the houses on four sides are surrounded together to form a "mouth" shape.

A formal courtyard house usually faces south and sits along an east-west alley. The main gate should be located in the "Xun" position in the southeast corner of the courtyard. There is a spacious courtyard in the middle of the courtyard. Generally speaking, ordinary courtyard houses have a one-entry layout. The "mouth"-shaped one is called a one-entry courtyard, the "sun"-shaped one is called a two-entry courtyard, and the "eye"-shaped one is called a three-entry courtyard.

Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the quadrangle courtyard has been the most standard architectural form. It is reasonable and compact and is a traditional scene in the capital.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were too many people without houses, so the government nationalized a large number of houses, especially the empty rooms of the elderly and children, and distributed them to the poor people in the capital. The street office was mainly responsible for allocating jobs and houses.

Qin Dabao's yard is home to six families, with a total of thirty or forty people. It seems very crowded.

But the Qin family's living quarters are pretty good. With two main rooms and one side room, it's quite spacious for the five of them.

"Dabao?" A middle-aged woman came out from the east wing. This was Aunt Niu. Uncle Niu was a farmer. There were seven people in his family, and they lived in two rooms in the east wing.

Their Dabao had been there before, and the big kang was full of people. Their eldest son Niu Dali was the same age as Dabao, and he was squeezed onto the kang to sleep.

"I heard from your mother that you went swimming with someone at the Summer Palace? How could you be so pretentious? It's so cold, aren't you freezing to death?"

Qin Dabao grinned. He was dissatisfied with other things, but he was impressed by these housewives. They started nagging endlessly, disturbing his interest.

You have to respond to this. If you don't, he will chase you home and bother you.

"Aunt Niu, Aunt Niu..." Qin Dabao grinned bitterly, almost crying: "Da Li hasn't found a job yet?"

Aunt Niu's attention was indeed diverted: "Not so good, you kids, after graduation you just stay at home and do nothing, it's really depressing."

Aunt Niu felt a little dejected when talking about her son's job. Her son Niu Dali graduated from junior high school three years ago and couldn't find a proper job, so he could only work odd jobs with his father.

"Auntie Niu, I heard from my classmates that the railway locomotive depot is recruiting drivers!"

Aunt Niu's eyes widened immediately: "Is it true? What are the conditions?" She looked expectant.

"It seems that the requirements are to have graduated from junior high school or above, be physically strong, and come from a good family. Nothing else is necessary. However, at the beginning, they will definitely have a minor fever."

The 'xiaoshao' is the stoker who puts coal into the locomotive.

"Oh my god, a small fever is fine. That's a great job and the pay is good. I have to ask your uncle Niu about it right away."

After saying that, he hurried back to the house.

Qin Dabao breathed a sigh of relief, finally getting rid of him. However, he remembered that Niu Dali did go to work on the railway after the New Year, and later became a train driver, traveling all over the country. Qin Dabao had a good relationship with him.

Qin Dabao looked around at everything in the yard, even the honeycomb coal stove at the door of his house seemed familiar to him.

After watching for a while, he heard his sister calling him in the room, so he lost interest and hurried back to the room to coax his sister. From his previous life to now, it seems that he is still a big brother.
