Comfortable life in Siheyuan

Liu Qingshan had been home for a long time and was in an excited mood.

Both parents came back in the evening, and they were very happy to see their son returned safely.

"It's good that you're back. Don't press your daughter down when you sleep at night. If you don't like it, go to sleep in another room. Do you hear me?" The old mother turned around and poured a basin of cold water on her.

Liu Qingshan smiled silently. There was maternal love, but not much.

"Don't sleep too deeply at night. Listen to your wife and help her take care of the children when you get up at night," Father Liu warned again.

"I understand. I will be careful. You don't have to worry." Liu Qingshan still enjoyed the harmonious atmosphere in the family.

"By the way, you have to give Xixi a name. It's not so particular for his generation. You don't have to name him according to seniority. It's up to you." Father Liu was very open-minded.

"Today I thought of a name called Liu Yuqian, which means eloquent, lively, cheerful, beautiful, and noble. Do you think it's okay? My nickname is Xixi, so if you add the grass radical, it becomes Xixi."

"Okay, just decide. It's a nice name."

Today was destined to be a sleepless night for Liu Qingshan. He was excited, happy, and Xixi cried from time to time. He didn't sleep much all night.

When I went to work the next day, I had dark circles under my eyes.

When I got to the office, I fell asleep on the table without saying a word.

After a while, he got up only when the section chief came to call him.

"Chief, I was just about to come and report to you later, but I fell asleep while lying down." Liu Qingshan said listlessly.

"What happened to you? When did you come back?" The section chief looked puzzled. He had never seen Liu Qingshan look so tired. What was he doing on this business trip?

"I got home yesterday and rested at home for half a day. My daughter woke me up several times at night and I didn't sleep much the whole night. I fell asleep as soon as I lay down!" Liu Qingshan was a little helpless.

This tiny little thing can be so troublesome. I didn't get much sleep the whole night because of it.

Liu Qingshan went out to wash his face, then turned around and went to the section chief's office.

"Chief, I took a little longer this time, but fortunately the work was completed. No one from our steel rolling mill was left behind." Liu Qingshan said easily.

"Your case has already been dealt with by the higher-ups. Based on your performance at work and your achievements on business trips, the factory leader issued a document last week to promote you to a ninth-level engineer. You will also receive a cash reward of 20 yuan."

Section Chief Qin didn't keep him in suspense and spoke directly.

Liu Qingshan was very excited. This was a considerable salary, and he was definitely a high-income earner in that era.

"Thank you, Chief, for your care all the time. I will continue to work hard and do this job well." Liu Qingshan said.

"Work hard. Seeing you makes me feel old sometimes!"

"Chief, stop joking. You are in your prime and should contribute to the development of our country."

"I'm not kidding you. Go to the Finance Department after get off work and collect your salary and bonus for the past few months." Section Chief Qin said with a smile.

"Didn't my father collect my salary? Then I must be getting a lot this time. Let's get together in the department in a few days. My salary has increased, and I have to be happy with everyone!" Liu Qingshan said sincerely.

"Okay, you work hard these days, and we can get together on our day off." Section Chief Qin also wanted everyone in the section to be more united.

"Then Chief, I'm going to work first." After saying that, Liu Jinshan left the office, returned to his workstation, and took another nap.

After get off work, he went to the Finance Department and received half a year's salary, plus the award for outstanding individuals before the New Year. Liu Qingshan went home with a bag of things.

When we arrived at the gate of the compound, luckily Father Liu helped lift the car, otherwise Uncle Three would have really taken action.

"Qingshan, where did you get all these things? My goodness, I wasn't willing to spend so much money when I got married." The third uncle said with a distressed look on his face.

After hearing Yan Bugui's analogy, Liu Qingshan rolled his eyes to the back of his head. Who can compare with you? We in our courtyard are thrifty (stingy). Who can compare with you? Only your children will be able to see your taillights in the future.

"Uncle Third, I wasn't at home during the Chinese New Year last year. This is my prize for being an advanced individual and a commendation. I just found time to get it back today!" Liu Qingshan stabbed Uncle Third in the back again. Uncle Third instantly covered his chest with his hands, unable to utter a word.

"Uncle, we two will go back first, you go ahead and do your work!" Father Liu also greeted Yan Bugui with a smile.

The car stopped in the yard and Liu Qingshan took the things down.

"Dad, the thermos bottles in my room are all new. You can use this one in your room. We usually drink more water at your place. We have two basins, one for each side. You should also replace the one for washing your face with a new one." Liu Qingshan kept taking things down from the car. They were all labor protection supplies, including towels, basins, thermos bottles, enamel pots, soap, gloves, and a set of work clothes.

Liu Qingshan was so satisfied that he was anxious. If he bought all these things himself, it would cost a lot of money.

The father and son divided the food for a long time. Finally, one of them took the basin and went back to the house.

"Xiaoyu, I'm back. Look what I brought back." Liu Qingshan placed the things in front of Feng Yu like a treasure.

"Why did your unit distribute so many things?" Feng Yu was also surprised.

"I left home before the end of last year. The year-end salary, the reward for advanced individuals, and the commendations from last year and this year were all kept in the factory warehouse. I got them all back today." Liu Qingshan said happily!

"You have a lot of stuff. We only distributed a little last year, just some soap, towels and so on." Feng Yu said in surprise.

"Not only that, but also my half-year salary, which was paid today. I'll count it for you." Liu Qingshan took out about 550 yuan from his pocket and gave it all to Feng Yu.

Feng Yu instantly turned into an uncle and started counting money.

"Honey, is your salary so high? 550 in just half a year." Feng Yu looked surprised.

"Not that much. My salary is about 520 yuan in total, and I get a bonus of 20 yuan. I made it a round number myself. I still have more than ten yuan on me." Liu Qingshan said.

"What technician level are you now? Didn't you just become a regular employee last year? Shouldn't you be level 13, with a salary of 55?" Feng Yu looked at her husband suspiciously.

"When I married you last year, I had just been promoted to a full-time employee. Later, I was promoted two levels. Before the New Year, I was at level 11. Today, I went to the factory to report for work, and our section chief informed me that I had successfully passed the assessment and am now a level 105 engineer. My salary will be in the future. You just wait to enjoy your life!" Liu Qingshan looked at Feng Yu with a smile.

"Your salary is so much higher than mine, and mine is less than half of yours." Feng Yu widened his eyes, looking incredulous.

"Don't be surprised, the child is crying. Let's check first to see if the child has urinated." Liu Yuqian lay there for a long time and no one paid attention to her, so she started crying.

The new parents began to get busy with taking care of the baby.
