Comfortable life in Siheyuan

The weather was sunny and cloudless on this weekend.

Liu Qingshan rode his bike to Wannian Hutong early in the morning and was now kicking stones out of boredom under the shade of a tree.

After a while, a girl wearing a blouse, with a ponytail, bright eyes and white teeth came slowly. Liu Qingshan was stunned for a moment.

"Feng Yu, here." Liu Qingshan waved.

Feng Yu trotted a few steps and arrived in front of Liu Qingshan.

"When did you come? You must be anxious waiting!"

"No, I just got here a while ago."

"Stop staring at me."

"You look so beautiful today."

"Where did you learn all this, so smooth-talking.

Let's go, stop looking, and hurry up." Feng Yu stamped his feet anxiously.

"Okay, get in the car, I'll ride you."

The two of them laughed and joked all the way to Beihai Park. The handsome man and beautiful woman on the bicycle attracted many glances from passers-by.

This Beihai Park is not a real park, but a royal garden. However, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, it has been opened as a tourist attraction. It is now a place frequented by many young people who are in their relationships.

The two locked their bikes and walked side by side to Beihai Park. Liu Qingshan saw young couples holding hands on the road, so he made up his mind and quickly grabbed Feng Yu's hand. Feng Yu struggled several times, but couldn't get away, so she let him hold her.

"Just grab it, but please be gentle. My hands hurt."

"Sorry, I'll be more careful." After saying that, he relaxed his grip a little. Liu Qingshan smiled like a fool.

"Silly!" Feng Yu laughed too.

The two held hands and walked to the cruise ship, bought tickets, and boarded the ship.

Fortunately, it was early in the morning and the sun was not so hot. The two of them were rowing and chatting. Liu Qingshan stared at Feng Yu intently, making the girl blush.

"What are you looking at!" Feng Yu asked with eyes wide open.

"I am looking at the most beautiful scenery!" Liu Qingshan said sincerely.

"Boring!" Feng Yu pouted and muttered quietly, but she was secretly delighted in her heart.

Liu Qingshan rowed the boat to a shady place and stopped.

"Comrade Feng Yu, I want to date you. I wonder if you are satisfied with me?" Liu Qingshan changed his expression and said seriously!

In this era, people will get married as soon as they are satisfied with the blind date. There is no such thing as dating for a certain number of years. There are also many blind marriages. If the two are suitable, you can get married straight away.

"Comrade Liu Qingshan, I am very satisfied with you. I..." He wanted to say something else but was too shy to continue.

"Really? Then I'll go back and discuss it with my parents and see when we can have a meal together and get the wedding done."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

The two rowed to the shore and returned the boat. They sat in the park for a while. Their hands were all sweaty and they didn't let go.

"Let's go, let's go eat first!" Liu Qingshan said to Feng Yu!

"No need, I can just go home and eat!" Feng Yu waved his hand quickly!

"It's okay. It's noon now. Let's have a meal together and then see where to go after lunch."

"Really, no need. My family asked me to go home for dinner. Let's do it next time!" Feng Yu said seriously.

"Okay, I'll take you back then."

The two of them rode their bikes slowly back. When they reached Wannian Hutong, Liu Qingshan slowly pushed the bike and walked side by side with Feng Yu. He didn't leave until he sent Feng Yu to her home.

After walking a few steps, Feng Yu caught up with him again.

"Qingshan, my mother asked you to come to my house for dinner!" Feng Yu said hurriedly.

Liu Qingshan was completely stunned.

My calves started to shake. We are just going to meet someone, not to meet their parents. Isn't this too fast? This is how Fast and Furious 8 should be!

"Well, I haven't prepared anything. It's not appropriate to come here empty-handed for the first time. How about next time?" Liu Qingshan's lips trembled a little after he finished speaking.

"What are you afraid of? I didn't expect that you would be afraid sometimes. Humph. I have been notified anyway. It's up to you to go or not." Seeing Liu Qingshan's embarrassed look, Feng Yu also became bolder.

"I'll go, I'll go. I'll go to your parents later and ask you to put in a few good words for me." Liu Qingshan begged with his head lowered.

"That depends on your performance." Feng Yu started to act arrogantly.

Pushing their bicycles, the two men walked into the yard. It was a small yard with not many people living there. The neighbors were all standing at their doorsteps, looking at the two men.

Liu Qingshan felt that these people had the momentum of a mighty army. He was a little outnumbered.

When I entered the house, I called them uncle and aunt politely.

"Xiao Liu, we'll call you Xiao Liu. Come and sit down."

"Okay, Auntie." She sat down stiffly. It was a hot day, and now my back was all wet, and I could probably wring water out of it.

Feng Yu sat next to him and the two of them stopped communicating.

"What kind of job does Xiao Liu do now? How long has he been working here?" There was no smile on Feng Yu's father's face, which made Liu Qingshan even more nervous.

"Uncle, I work in a technical factory. No, I work in the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, in the technical department. I just started working this year. I'm a level 13 technician now." Liu Qingshan wiped the sweat off his face and his lips were drooping.

"Auntie Wang said you graduated from college, so have you joined the party?" the uncle asked!

“I joined the party during college.”

"How's your work going? Are you adapting well?"

"It's pretty good. I like my current job and was recently promoted to a permanent position. The factory treats me very well and even gave me a room."

"Then you must work harder and give back to the factory."

"What are you doing? You are at home and you are not facing your soldiers. Let me tell you.

"Xiao Liu, what do you think of our Xiao Yu?"

"Auntie, I think Xiaoyu is a nice person. I like her very much!" Liu Qingshan's voice was as soft as a mosquito.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Feng Yu kicked him.

"It's okay, kid, let's just chat. The last time Xiaoyu came to your house, what was your parents' impression of him?"

"This, uh!"

"What's wrong? Are your parents unhappy?" Father Liu said seriously.

"No, no, that's exactly what my mother said. Xiaoyu is more than enough for her son. I'm marrying above my station." Liu Qingshan praised her a little.

The whole Feng family was smiling happily.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, let's eat first."

I ate my meal very carefully, and I didn't even remember what I was eating.

"Xiao Liu, when are you going to have our parents meet and talk about your issues?" Auntie said with a smile!

"Okay, Auntie. I'll discuss it with my parents when I get back. As for uncle and aunt, it's getting late today. I'll go back first." After saying that, Liu Qingshan stood up.

"Xiaoyu, go and see Xiao Liu off. Xiao Liu, please ride slowly on the road." Liu's father advised.

"Okay, uncle, I'll be careful."

When I pushed the cart out of the door, my back felt cold and wet. Now that I relaxed, it felt cool.

The silly girl is laughing foolishly now.

"What are you laughing at? What's so funny about this?" Liu Qingshan said with his neck stiff.

"You've been making fun of me all day, and I can't make fun of you."

"Okay, stop laughing."

"Why are you so cowardly when you meet my parents?"

"Am I a coward? I do care. Think about it, what if they don't want to marry you? How can I not be nervous?"

"Bah, who wants to marry you. You scoundrel."

"By the way, your father usually takes a break on weekends, right? How about we have dinner together next weekend?"

"My dad is usually free on weekends, so you can decide on the date and the place."

"I want to live in my new house and let your parents see it so they can feel at ease. My house is newly built and the environment is good. I have a chef in my yard. It is convenient to cook."

"Okay, go back and discuss it. Once it's confirmed, go directly to the Di'anmen Post Office or come to my house to find me."

"Okay, I'll leave first."

"Ride slowly on the road."

"Well, go back!"

...

He walked into the courtyard with a smile on his face.

"Uncle, why are you going out in such hot weather?"

"I, no matter how hot it is, I have to go to the bathroom! What are you talking about?"

I walked into the backyard. At this time when the sun was blazing, there were not many people in the yard? Everyone was staying indoors. I parked my bike, walked into the house, picked up the big teacup on the table, and gulped down a big mouthful.

"Wow, cool."

"What's wrong? You're all sweaty. It's noon now. Go hide from the sun for a while and come back. Look how red your face is from the sun." Mother Liu said with concern!

"Mom, where's my dad?"

"I'm at home. It's too hot today. Where can I go?"

"You're back. How are you getting along with others?" Father Liu also came over and asked.

"It's fine, Mom and Dad. I sent Xiaoyu home today, and his parents treated me to a meal. I was so nervous that I was sweating." After saying that, he took off his shirt and slumped down on the chair with his bare chest.

"What does his family say? I guess they are satisfied with you."

"You should be quite satisfied. Before leaving, you asked me to come back to discuss when we can have dinner together. Let's talk about marriage!"

"You have to see when the other party is convenient." Father Liu said

"I asked Xiaoyu, let's do it next weekend, it's a day off and his dad is also off. We both have time."

"Okay, then where do we eat? Should we find a restaurant?" asked Liu's mother.

"No need, we'll eat in my new house. I'm going to ask Sha Zhu to cook."

"Then go tell someone when you have time. I also need to prepare this thing in advance."

"Okay! I'm going to go back to the house. I need to take a shower."
