Comfortable life in Siheyuan

"Welcome, welcome! Qingshan is here, please come in." Sun Xiaoyan, wearing a brand new cotton coat today, stood at the door to greet people.

"Thank you, sister-in-law. This is a little gift from my heart! Please accept it!" Liu Qingshan took out a red envelope from his pocket and handed it to Sun Xiaoyan.

"No need for all this, just a simple meal!" Sun Xiaoyan said politely, but she did not push back the red envelope.

Liu Qingshan also realized that this was just a polite gesture, so he didn't take it seriously. "Keep it! I'll go in and take a look first!"

After Liu Qingshan entered the hanging flower gate, he did not really visit it. Instead, he went in and found a stool to sit down.

"Qingshan is here too! Have you seen this yard?" The speaker was He Daqing, who came here with Liu Qingshan's father Liu Yaohui.

Liu Qingshan originally thought that he would not come! Unexpectedly, Uncle He not only came, but also came quite early!

"I didn't look at it much. It's not much different from the house owned by my second uncle." Liu Qingshan bought several courtyards himself and saw even more. He couldn't muster any interest at the moment.

"Yes, it is very similar to Lao Liu's. It just has an extra fish pond." He Daqing said with a look of agreement.

Xu Damao's housewarming party had quite a few guests, but there weren't many people in the courtyard. Each family only invited one person. Liu Qingshan and Liu's father were counted as two households.

There were also some people who were obviously Xu Damao's business friends, all dressed quite decently. Xu Damao was also chatting with this group of people.

"What's that over there?" The third uncle was sitting next to Yi Zhonghai at another table. He looked towards Xu Damao.

"I heard they are from the construction team. Look at Captain Sun over there. Wasn't he from our street's engineering maintenance team?" Yi Zhonghai looked closely and saw a familiar face.

"I've seen that guy before. He's cleaned the Liu family's house twice before! He was a thin young man when he first came. How come he's so fat now?" The third uncle pushed his glasses and remembered.

"It took me a long time to recognize him! It's only been a few years?" Yi Zhonghai shook his head, feeling that time had passed too quickly.

Captain Sun also noticed Liu Qingshan sitting in the corner at this time, took a pack of cigarettes from the table and walked towards him.

"Director Liu, you are here too. I haven't seen you for a while, but you still look so young! Come, have a smoke!" Captain Sun took a lot of work from Liu Qingshan, and the decoration of three hot pot restaurants was contracted to him.

Liu Qingshan stared at the other person for two seconds before he suddenly realized, "Captain Sun, how come you have changed so much? You weren't this fat last year! I almost didn't recognize you! I don't smoke, so don't be polite to me!"

Captain Sun gave some cigarettes to Liu's father and He Daqing before sitting down.

"Hey! I've had too many social engagements in the past six months. I eat and drink a lot, and I haven't paid attention to it, so I can't control my weight. Sometimes I don't even want to drink, but I can't refuse!" Captain Sun's words were a bit Versailles. Losing weight is not popular these days. It takes a skill to be able to eat so much and gain so much weight.

"Doesn't this prove that you are doing well in business? You are a big boss now!"

"Don't worry, please don't praise me. Compared to you, I am just trying to make a living!"

He often went to Liu Qingshan's restaurant to eat. Who wouldn't be jealous of such a business?

"You're exaggerating! I heard that your team now has more than a dozen people!"

"Hehe! We've added a few more this year, and now we're almost thirty people. But I'm also worried. You said that we have to eat and drink for nearly thirty days, so what else can I do if I don't drink as much as I can!"

"..."

The two chatted for a few more sentences, and suddenly everyone in the room looked towards the hanging flower gate.

Erhu and Sun Xiaoyan led a young girl in. The girl was wearing a fine coat, a bow tied around her waist, and a pair of small leather shoes, which was very eye-catching.

"Is this Erhu's blind date? She's quite handsome!" The third uncle still remembers her. He remembered her when she entered the courtyard with the matchmaker.

"I heard he's a doctor! And he's doing a good job!" Yi Zhonghai added.

"Is this going to work? Otherwise, why would you invite us over for dinner?" The third uncle looked at Lao Yi in confusion.

"I think it's almost right. She's good-looking, has a good job, and is a good match for Erhu." Yi Zhonghai said with a smile.

At this time, Xu Damao walked over, greeted the girl and began to arrange for everyone to sit down.

Sun Xiaoyan ran to the kitchen and informed the two chefs to start preparing to serve the dishes.

Liu Qingshan and his friends moved together and sat with Yi Zhonghai and the third uncle, along with Qin Huairu. There were only two tables for the people from the courtyard.

Xu Damao sat with his friend. Everyone at the table looked like they could drink a lot.

Sun Xiaoyan sat at a nearby table with her family and Zhou Hailu.

Before the meal started, Xu Damao stood up with a wine glass in his hand.

"Dear friends and relatives, neighbors, thank you all for your support. It is my honor that you can come to attend my housewarming party today. I, Xu Damao, would like to thank you all here first!" After saying that, Xu Damao raised his glass and drank it all.

Everyone cheered and picked up their glasses to drink.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, everyone was a little tipsy.

Xu Damao started to toast with a wine glass in hand: "Uncle One, Uncle Three, Uncle He, Uncle Liu, what do you think of my house? It's beautiful, isn't it? I spent more than 20,000 yuan on it!" Xu Damao had drunk too much and began to stutter when he spoke.

"Qingshan, you have two sons, so you have to buy a big house, otherwise it won't be big enough to live in in the future." Seeing that several people ignored him, Xu Damao turned his gaze to Liu Qingshan!

"No, my house is big enough. Even if my son gets married in the future, the room will be enough!" Liu Qingshan waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need it.

Liu Qingshan also has two courtyard houses, which have been empty until now!

"Yes, your courtyard is quite large and has quite a few rooms! It's definitely enough!" Xu Damao picked up the wine glass and walked to He Daqing again.

"Uncle He, your son earns a lot of money, let him buy a big yard. It will be so comfortable to live in such a big courtyard!" Xu Damao was obviously showing off, but no one paid any attention to him.

"..."

Xu Damao chattered on for a long time, but when he saw that no one was talking, he tactfully walked to the next table!

"What are you showing off? Didn't you just buy a courtyard house? Nowadays, anyone can live in a courtyard with two entrances!

"Don't talk nonsense. This isn't appropriate for today's occasion. Don't let people laugh at you!" Yi Zhonghai pulled Yan Bugui, fearing that he might say something wrong and cause dissatisfaction.

"Uncle, we're here just to eat, so please say less." Liu Qingshan stood up with a smile and poured another glass for the uncle!
