Comfortable life in Siheyuan

Seeing the family next door happy and reunited, Liu Hai, who also lived in the backyard, couldn't help feeling bitter.

They all have the surname Liu, live in the backyard, and have three children. He even has a daughter. But my salary is not lower than Liu Yaohui's, so why is my family not as good as his? Thinking about it, Liu Haizhong looked at his two sons sitting opposite him and sighed deeply: "Alas! These two bastards are really inferior to me in everything!"

The next morning, Liu Qingsong got up early and went out to buy some buns.

"Mom and Dad, Sisi and I are going to my father-in-law's house today. We're not sure when we'll be back in the evening. Don't wait for us at night," Liu Qingsong reminded.

"I got it. Don't forget to go to your brother's place to get some wine." Father Liu said with a smile.

"I've prepared it for you. I won't be reluctant to give it up." Liu Qingshan replied with pretended disgust.

"Okay, I won't be polite with you. I'll bring you more stones next time I come back." Liu Qingsong said with a smile.

"Hahaha!" Everyone laughed.

"Don't laugh, these things will be very valuable in the future! Really!" Liu Qingshan said at the dinner table, fearing that everyone would not believe him, "Hetian jade and chicken blood stone were very valuable in the past, but now everyone is still living a hard life and can't even afford food and clothing. When the country becomes prosperous and the people are prosperous in the future, their value will naturally rise."

"Qingshan, the same principle applies to the paintings that you and I collected together." Brother-in-law Zhao Xinjie said with a smile.

"Yes, I don't know much about antiques, but these calligraphy and paintings by famous people will definitely appreciate in value in the future," Liu Qingshan explained.

"Qingshan, you are quite far-sighted." My sister-in-law praised with a smile.

"In fact, if you study history more, you will understand that people hide gold in troubled times and collect antiques in prosperous times. Although the items I collect are not antiques, they can be considered cultural relics and have the potential to appreciate in value in the future," Liu Qingshan further explained.

"Okay, I'll collect some stones and keep them there in the future. There's not much to spend money on in the army." Liu Qingsong said with a smile.

"Okay, let's talk when you come back. Let's finish eating quickly, we have to rush to work." Liu's mother interrupted the conversation with a smile.

Liu's mother's words were like a pause, bringing everyone's chat to an abrupt end.

Today is the company's year-end dinner. Everyone at work can't hide the joy in their hearts. Their faces are filled with happy smiles, just like flowers blooming in spring.

Not long after Liu Qingshan arrived at the office, Section Chief Qin came in with brisk steps.

"Qingshan, this is the meal ticket for our dinner today. Everyone can get a delicious meat dish with the ticket. This is yours." Section Chief Qin handed over the ticket with a smile.

"Thank you, Chief. Does everyone have one today?" Liu Qingshan took the ticket and asked with a smile.

"That's right. Everyone has one. The leaders of the factory are no exception. Everyone is going to the cafeteria to get their meals today," explained Section Chief Qin.

"Okay, then we have to go early at noon. If we go late, there won't be any good food." Liu Qingshan said with a smile.

"You don't need food, so it doesn't matter if it's later. The workers have worked hard for a year, so let them eat first." Section Chief Qin joked with a smile.

"Section Chief is right. You have a high level of awareness. I must learn from you." Liu Qingshan said, giving a thumbs up.

After talking to someone for a few words, Section Chief Qin turned and went to the big office.

Sha Zhu rushed to the steel mill early this morning. The pigs that were shipped in yesterday only had about 150 to 160 kilograms of meat after slaughtering and processing. The canteen could only try its best to make full use of them.

Several chefs from the canteens also arrived early. Nan Yi chopped all the bones after removing the meat into large pieces and boiled several pots of delicious broth. A chef from the canteen went to deal with a large basin of pig blood. Sha Zhu looked at the meat and planned to mix it with tofu to make tofu meatballs so that everyone could taste some. Everyone in the kitchen got busy.

As lunch was about to start, several canteens delivered the ingredients to each canteen. Sha Zhu and Nan Yi were busy and sweating.

"My goodness, this pig is so hard to handle! If you guys didn't come to help, our canteen No. 3 would be too busy to handle it." Sha Zhu said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"It's not difficult to handle a pig, but the difficult part is to feed so many people. Fortunately, you came up with the idea of ​​making tofu balls, otherwise I would have no idea." Nan Yi joked with a smile.

"This is a method forced upon us by the situation! There have been similar situations before, and the master chef at that time did it this way. By adding tofu to make meatballs, the quantity increased, and each meatball is about the same size. It is also easier to operate if we give each person a little." Sha Zhu explained with a smile.

"By the way, Qingshan's house was really lively yesterday. I heard laughter and joy all the time." Nan Yi changed the subject and asked.

"His brother is back from military leave, and the whole family got together. Maybe they were having too much fun chatting." Sha Zhu replied nonchalantly.

"We should be happy indeed. I heard from Qingshan a long time ago that his brother hasn't been home for many years." Nan Yi said with emotion.

"That's right. They have always had a good relationship with each other. His eldest brother has always been very protective of him. Since he was a child, no one around us dared to bully Qingshan, and many people have been beaten by his brother." Sha Zhu said with some emotion.

"You've never fought with his brother?" Nan Yi asked with a smile.

"We fought as kids back then, but we were all the same at that time and no one was stronger than the other. Later, when I grew up a little, my dad ran away. There are only my sister and I in my family. His eldest brother has never had any conflicts with my family and has a good relationship with us." Sha Zhu explained with a smile.

"You definitely can't beat him now." Nan Yi's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a faint smile. He gently patted Sha Zhu's shoulder with a hint of teasing in his tone.

Sha Zhu rolled his eyes helplessly and muttered: "He is a real warrior, how can I compare to him? I just have a little brute force. At most, I can only fight with people like Xu Damao." After saying that, he did not forget to curl his lips at Nan Yi to express his disdain.

After hearing this, Nan Yi couldn't help laughing and said jokingly, "Come on, don't be so stubborn. Actually, it's Xu Damao who has had a hard time!"

"Hahaha!! You are absolutely right!" Sha Zhu was amused and laughed heartily, nodding repeatedly in agreement.

Not long after, the clock pointed to noon, lunch time had arrived, and people from the factory began to come to eat. Seeing this, Nan Yi turned around and returned to the second canteen where he was.

At the same time, the technical staff were waiting in the back, preparing to go to the cafeteria for lunch. When they walked out of the office building, they happened to see the factory office staff just coming out.

Until this moment, Liu Qingshan finally realized that the factory leaders had already discussed all the arrangements in advance. Looking at the sincere and simple smiles on the workers' faces, Liu Qingshan couldn't help but be deeply moved. This positive atmosphere made him feel extremely warm.
