Comfortable life in Siheyuan

Liu Guangtian had only taken a few steps when he was caught up by the second aunt.

"Don't run away. Come back with me. Your father said he would help you find a temporary job in a machinery factory. As long as you listen and don't make your father angry, it will be much easier to get married in the future."

As the second aunt spoke, she couldn't help but feel a little proud in her heart: "According to the conditions your father said, you still have to go back with me obediently, and then I'll see how I deal with you when I get back."

But what she didn't expect was that Liu Guangtian's attitude was very firm: "Mom, you go back by yourself. I'm living a good life now and I'm very satisfied with my work. You and my dad should treat Guangfu well. You can only rely on him when you are old. I guess my eldest brother won't come back, and I won't go back to this family either."

Liu Guangtian spoke very firmly. After that, he ignored the second aunt's pulling, shook off her arms and ran away.

In the evening, Liu Haizhong asked the second aunt after get off work: "Did you find Guangtian today?"

The second aunt stammered, "I did find it, but it's impossible for him to come back in broad daylight."

Liu Haizhong's face suddenly became gloomy: "What did you tell him? Did you tell him that you would help him arrange a job when you come back?"

"I told you, this bastard just won't come back, and he keeps talking and talking~" The second aunt didn't dare to say more after this, for fear of upsetting her second uncle.

"Go on, just say whatever you want to say!" Liu Haizhong asked, suppressing his anger.

"He told us to take good care of Guangfu. He said that we can only rely on Guangfu when we get old. The eldest brother will definitely not come, and he will not return to this family." The second aunt said it all in one breath without caring about the impact.

"This is outrageous. He has no say in this family. What does he want to do? He's even lecturing me. Don't bother with him in the future. Let him die outside alone." Liu Haizhong cursed angrily.

"Old Liu, don't be angry. It's not worth it to ruin your health. This bastard will have to bow his head one day. It's not that easy to deal with things outside." The second aunt persuaded.

"Get ready for dinner, don't worry about his life or death!" Liu Haizhong said coldly.

In mid-May, my brother-in-law returned to the army and the Feng family returned to peace.

Liu Qingshan also began to arrange the production line of the leather factory. The overall construction of the factory building has been completed, and Liu Qingshan's work has become busy. Today, the employees sent by various streets in the district will arrive soon and go through the on-the-job procedures. Liu Qingshan, as the deputy factory director, came early and he also wanted to greet them.

A little after eight in the morning, Liu Qingshan and Director Nie stood at the gate of the leather factory to welcome the new workers.

Soon, new employees arrived one after another, and Liu Qingshan and Director Nie warmly welcomed each newcomer. Several street directors also arrived, and Liu Qingshan went up to greet them enthusiastically.

Director Yang couldn't help but sigh as he watched Liu Qingshan remain calm and collected: "This kid has made great progress. In just a few years, he has become the deputy factory director."

At the welcome ceremony, Liu Qingshan gave a brief speech, encouraging everyone to work together to contribute to the development of the leather factory. He then led the new employees to visit various departments of the factory and introduced them to the work process and precautions.

The new employees followed the factory office to go through the onboarding process, and Liu Qingshan finally had some free time. He carefully scanned the crowd and found Director Yang's position, then he trotted over.

"Hello, directors. Aunt Yang, I'm a bit busy today and don't have time to entertain you." Liu Qingshan said with a smile.

"You should go about your business. Everything is fine here." Director Yang said happily.

"I don't have anything to do at the moment. I would like to thank the directors for supporting our work. They sent so many outstanding young people here at once." Liu Qingshan said to the directors.

"Deputy Director Liu, don't say that. It must be your factory that has helped us a lot. Finding so many people at once has relieved a lot of our pressure. You don't know how troubled we, the street directors, are every day just for a few job positions." said a middle-aged woman standing next to Director Yang.

"Yes, sometimes I have to sneak home, for fear of running into someone looking for us to work on the way. There aren't that many jobs available nowadays."

"We have fully staffed the street sweepers, and even added two extra people to take turns on duty," Director Yang said with a smile.

"Yes, so as soon as the recruitment plan came out, our factory director went to the district. This is a win-win situation." Liu Qingshan said with a smile.

At this time, Director Nie also walked over quickly and said with a smile: "I'm sorry for the poor hospitality. There were too many people here today and I didn't take care of several leaders. Let's have a simple lunch together in the cafeteria at noon. Let's deepen our relationship and cooperate more in future work."

Although these directors were just small figures in charge of street affairs, each of them actually had a deep background and extraordinary origins. Many of them had spouses who held high positions and held great power, so Director Nie would never dare to be arrogant in front of these people.

"Old Nie, I just found out today that you are the factory director here. If I had known earlier, I would have come to you to 'beg for alms' a long time ago!" Director You joked with a smile.

"Sister-in-law, so you are here too. I didn't notice you just now. Qingshan, this is Director You. Her husband was my former leader in the army. Sister-in-law used to cook delicious food for us." Director Nie greeted the other party with a smile on his face, and did not forget to introduce Liu Qingshan next to him.

"Why are you bringing this up? You're the factory director. Just mind your own business. We'll all be going back soon." Director You responded gently.

"Haha, I've just greeted the canteen. You all can stay here and have a light meal together at noon today. This will also give me a chance to express my gratitude to everyone!" Director Nie laughed heartily.

Faced with such a cordial invitation, several directors initially humbly declined, but ultimately could not resist Director Nie's sincerity and chose to stay for lunch.

The lunch was quite sumptuous, but since everyone had to work in the afternoon, no one drank alcohol.

After everyone finished their meal and went back, Director Yang went to see Liu Qingshan again.

"Qingshan, there were too many people here just now, so there's something I didn't have time to ask you. Our street is going to assign several technical secondary schools here this year. Among them, there's a guy named Feng Lei. Do you know him? I checked and it seems that guy is your brother-in-law." Director Yang asked with a smile.

"Has the list come out so early?" Liu Qingshan asked curiously.

"Yes, I arrived a few days ago."

"That's how I've been doing since I was a kid. I graduated from technical secondary school this year, and I even greeted the factory director and asked if I could be assigned to the factory. Our factory is a little special, so the factory director said it wasn't appropriate and that he would find a way. In the end, I was assigned to the street office," Liu Qingshan explained with a smile.

"Okay, I'm just asking you. Don't worry, I will take good care of you once you get to our place." Director Yang said with a smile.

After seeing Director Yang off, Liu Qingshan started to get busy again.

Finally, when it was time to get off work, Liu Qingshan could relax and feel fulfilled and satisfied. The addition of these new employees would bring new vitality to the leather factory. However, he also realized that the responsibility he shouldered was even greater.
