The ups and downs of life in the Siheyuan

"Oh, it's a aunt.

His name is Li Yuan, my partner, and he just received his certificate today.

Li Yuan, the eldest lady in this courtyard, has grown old and well."

"Hello, aunt."

"Okay, okay, the young man is really energetic, a very talented man and a good-looking woman.

Xiaoting's mouth is so sweet that she can take her partner to her home to sit around when she has time."

"Okay, bye, Auntie."

"Goodbye Auntie".

"goodbye".

This is a quadrangle with two entrances. There is only one uncle who lives in the main house on the second entrance.

The Yang family also lived in the second room, occupying the west wing and west wing.

Yang's father's name is Yang Xu. He is over 50 years old and is an ordinary logistics worker in a department store.

He is honest and hard-working. Although he is a junior soldier in the unit, he is very popular. He has several apprentices and is an official.

He is also a senior "air force" boss. He goes out for a day every weekend, and sometimes he can bring back one or two small fish.

Yang's mother, Yang Zheng, is a housewife who relies on paper boxes to support her family.

She is a traditional woman who takes care of her husband and raises her children, and never goes overboard.

The eldest brother, Yang Jiawen, works as a porter in the Second Woolen Mill. My sister-in-law is also a housewife. There is only one son, Yang Guozhong, 12 years old.

The second brother, Yang Jiawu, graduated from high school and worked as a salesperson in a department store, and the second sister-in-law, Qian Meirong, also worked as a salesperson.

The second brother has two children, the eldest daughter Yang Xiulan, 8 years old, and the youngest son Yang Guoqing, 5 years old.

The eldest son's family lives in the west wing, while the second son's family lives in a shared room in the work unit and lives in the unit's collective tube building.

To say that the conditions are good, it’s the second brother’s family.

After exchanging pleasantries along the way, the two arrived at Yang's house.

There are only adoptive father, adoptive mother, eldest brother, sister-in-law, and nephew Yang Guozhong in the family.

Before the two of them entered, they saw a family welcoming them out of the room.

Sometimes they exchange pleasantries and give in to each other for a long time before entering the room.

The layout of his house is divided into two bedrooms. The living room is very small and doubles as a dining room and utility room.

Cooking is done outside the house all year round.

Li Yuan handed the bag to his mother-in-law, and then drank tea and chatted with his father-in-law and his uncle.

The content of the chat mainly revolved around Li Yuan's work. This was considered the first formal communication.

In the past, it was just a brief introduction. They were afraid of causing misunderstandings and did not dare to ask more questions.

I got the certificate today and became one of my own family members, so I didn’t dare to ask anything.

"There are not many people, but the staffing is still very good. It is on the same level as the logistics section chief of our department store."

In Father Yang's eyes, the section chief was already a high-ranking figure.

"Brother-in-law, what are your plans for the future? You won't always stay in that shabby repair shop, right?"

"What can I say? Being able to become the factory director just after graduation shows the trust that the leaders have in Xiao Li.

Xiao Li, don’t listen to your elder brother, work hard and contribute to our country. The organization will consider the rest.”

"Dad, your idea is out of date. Now everything is about relationships. It doesn't matter. You can't get promoted even if you work hard."

"What nonsense, get out of here!" What Yang's father can't stand the most is slandering the organization.

"Just go." After saying that, Brother Yang stood up and walked out of the room.

Li Yuan just listened and watched without saying anything to stop or persuade.

Yang's mother, who was bragging with her neighbor outside the house, heard the quarrel between the father and son and turned around and went inside.

"Old man, you can't give in to the boss, he is also a nice person."

After speaking, he looked at Li Yuan and said, "Xiao Li, don't mind, they don't usually act like this."

"Mom, it's okay, we are all a family, there is no need to be so outspoken."

The old lady was a little stunned when she said "Mom", then a smile spread across her face, and she no longer paid attention to the father and son.

"Then you talk, I have to accompany the neighbors."

"Xiao Li, sit down.

Don’t listen to those who don’t live up to expectations, you still have to be upright as a person, so that you can feel at ease and be trusted by the organization.”

"Dad, you are right."

The old man suddenly laughed happily, "Of course, you know how to do it better than us."

"You are absolutely right. I must be upright, have a smooth spirit, and be well-organized and harmonious in politics. I do the same thing."

After experiencing so many things, Li Yuan is no longer the same as before.

He has a clear understanding of officialdom and human nature.

Of course, by nature, he prefers to crush in an upright manner.

However, when facing some bad people, using some conspiracy and tricks appropriately can solve the trouble better.

I could only hear waves of exclamations coming from outside.

"Oh, Xiaoting is so lucky. It's his first official visit and his son-in-law brought such an old gift!"

"Yeah, look at that pig's head, it weighs no less than 20 pounds."

"The dried mushrooms weigh about 5 kilograms. They are good stuff. A small handful can be soaked to make a big dish."

"Why is the white flour at least 10 kilograms, and the stick noodles are also 20 kilograms?"

. . . . . .

In the west wing room, the aunts and sisters were sitting together. The eldest sister-in-law looked at the Shanghai Biao on Yang Ting's wrist with envy.

"Xiaoting, if you meet a good man, he is willing to give you such a valuable thing."

Yang Ting just smiled and said nothing.

. . . . . . .

"You guys came back so late, has he...?"

"What are you talking about? We haven't held a banquet yet." Yang Ting looked shy.

"You, according to the country's law, once you get the certificate, you are officially married, and yours is also legal." After saying this, the sister-in-law chuckled.

"Sister-in-law, I'm a little scared."

"What are you afraid of? It hurt a little at first, but then I felt better.

Listen to what I'm telling you. . . "

"Oh, sister-in-law, stop talking, you're so embarrassed."

Seeing that it was late, Li Yuan had to say goodbye.

The Yang family sent Li Yuanzhi to the gate of the hospital.

Yang Ting kept blushing, and sometimes she didn't dare to look at Li Yuan.

Although Li Yuan was confused, he couldn't ask in detail, so he had to wait until tomorrow.

When we returned to the compound, it was already past 9 o'clock at night, and most people had turned off their lights and were sleeping.

Li Yuan felt refreshed and turned up the heat on the stove. He felt a little urgent to urinate, so he went out and ran to the toilet.

Quickly solving the problem, as soon as I stepped through the door, I saw a woman sitting at the long table.

"Sister-in-law Jia, what do you mean?"

Li Yuan didn't dare to enter the house, he kept the door open and just looked at Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu was clearly dressed up tonight. Perhaps she had used some kind of corset. What used to be a slight sagging became more upright.

When she saw Li Yuan's gaze, she deliberately straightened her eyes, her eyes were filled with spring, and the spring in her eyes was already flowing down.

Li Yuan had to admire this woman. Her acting skills were absolutely superb. Those little fairies in later generations were not even worthy of carrying her shoes.

"Motoko, can you close the door? It's a bit windy outside."

"Sister-in-law, it's not convenient for me to be alone. If people misunderstand me, how will my sister-in-law behave in the future?"

"It's up to you! You know what I mean. I don't ask you for anything, and I won't destroy your marriage.

I just want to have a nice talk with you while you are not officially married."

"We have received the certificate and are now a legal couple."

"According to the old rules, if there is no banquet, it is not a wedding."

Li Yuan didn't want to get involved with her, he just wanted to let her leave as soon as possible.

"Sister-in-law, it's too late. If you have something to do, we can talk during the day." He stood outside the door and refused to go in.

"Motoko, you know the situation of my sister's family, and I know that you are capable. As long as you help me occasionally, I am willing to be your mistress for life."

He lowered his voice for the last two words, but pronounced them more clearly.

After saying that, she got up and walked towards the stairs.
