Comfortable life in Siheyuan

The gate of Liu's courtyard was open, and there were many people in the courtyard who were jealous. Second uncle Liu Haizhong moved a chair and sat at the door of his house, looking at the vegetables and fruits in Liu Qingshan's yard.

There was naked jealousy in his eyes.

"Old man, are you hot sitting at the door?" The second aunt asked the second uncle in confusion as she looked at him sitting at the door.

"Why do you care so much? It's none of your business." The second uncle replied dissatisfiedly.

"I just want to ask you, what's the current situation between Guangqi and that female classmate? When are they going to get married?" The second aunt was still quite anxious thinking about the eldest son's matter.

"If it works, it works. If it doesn't, he's not worthy of us. Guangqi graduated from a technical secondary school and is now a clerk in the factory. He will be a leader in the future." The second uncle was extremely satisfied with this boss and never dared to lift a finger. If this were in a feudal dynasty, he would be the crown prince of the East Palace.

"Hey, why am I telling you this? Just sit there by yourself. The sun will come in soon." The second aunt turned around and went back.

"Humph, you woman, what do you know? You have long hair but little knowledge."

Seeing the hustle and bustle in Liu Qingshan's yard, Liu Haizhong no longer had the heart to sit down.

Yi Zhonghai's family.

Listening to the noise of children in the middle courtyard and the back yard, uncle Yi Zhonghai felt even more upset.

"Old Yi, do you think it's time for us to adopt a child? We can't keep going like this. We are almost 50, and it will be too late to wait any longer. Find someone who is seven or eight years old. In ten years, you will retire and he will be grown up. He will be just in time to take over." The aunt started talking about adopting a child again, and the old man felt even more upset when he heard this.

"Next weekend, let's go to the welfare home together to see if there is anyone suitable, okay?" Yi Zhonghai finally agreed. He couldn't disagree. Other people's homes are full of children and grandchildren, while his home is cold and lonely. No one can stand this.

"Okay, okay, I'll go cook first, you sit down and take a rest." The aunt was instantly overjoyed and went to the kitchen happily.

In fact, Yi Zhonghai had adopted a child a few years ago, and he had the conditions to do so. A child raised by oneself from scratch would have the same surname as Yi, so there would be a successor.

In the backyard, Liu Qingshan didn't know that the two old men in the yard were influenced by him at this moment, and he was still bickering with his sister.

"Sister, when you came in today, didn't the uncle take advantage of you?" Liu Qingshan asked with a smile.

"The third uncle is even more powerful now. He said that there are peanuts at home and he is going to add some to our dish! Do you think I can agree to this?" The second sister said with disdain.

"He is just blinding his mind. He is just worse than a highway robber who is only missing a knife." Liu Qingshan also disliked this old man.

"He likes to calculate too much. He has regarded calculation as an instinct. There are many people in his family, so he needs to calculate when making a living, but he is not so calculating." said the second sister.

"He is not afraid that his children will settle accounts with him in the same way when they take care of him in his old age. His life will be miserable."

Liu Qingshan had watched a TV drama about several old men in the courtyard. Without Sha Zhu's care and Lou Xiao'e's financial support in their old age, these three old men had a hard time.

"Xiao San, I heard that the eldest son of the Liu family next door is going to get married soon?" asked the second sister.

"I want to know how you knew. I don't really know." Liu Qingshan asked in surprise.

"Someone in our yard came to me to buy meat. Is it true?" The second sister's gossipy soul was burning.

"It should be true. The eldest son in their family has graduated from a technical secondary school and works in our factory. He is a cadre, so it shouldn't be difficult for him to find a partner." Liu Qingshan explained.

"That's true. The boy in their family is really a young master. I've never seen such a precious child." The second sister curled her lips.

Liu Guangqi was envied by all his peers in the yard, except Liu Qingshan.

Liu Haizhong's family had three children. The eldest, Liu Guangqi, had never been beaten since he was a child, but the other two wanted to be beaten to death. Whatever was available was given to the eldest first, and the rest went to Liu Haizhong. The second aunt could only pick up what was left. As for Guangtian Guangfu, it was good enough that he could be raised.

"Okay, stop holding Xixi all the time. Look, your son is almost dissatisfied." Liu Qingshan said, pointing at Dongdong who was pouting.

The second sister looked at her baby son who was about to cry, and quickly pulled her son over.

"Come, Dongdong, look at your sister. From now on you will have a sister to play with. Are you happy?" The second sister teased her son.

After a while, my mother came over and asked everyone to serve the dishes.

Xiaoyu is in confinement now, so she eats all her meals in Liu Qingshan's courtyard.

Today's dishes are quite rich, a pig's trotter and soybean soup, which is Xiaoyu's special dish. I also fried an egg, smashed a cucumber, stir-fried beans, steamed an eggplant, and bought some peanuts.

There are plenty of vegetables at home, so there is no shortage of vegetables now, but meat dishes are limited.

Liu Qingshan went to get the wine and poured a glass for everyone.

"Xiao San, you are so capable now that you have become an engineer. I didn't realize you are so capable now." The second sister said with a smile, holding a wine glass.

"Coincidence, coincidence, isn't this just good luck?" Liu Qingshan clinked glasses with his elder sister.

Liu Qingshan and his elder sister basically never mention their eldest brother at home, as they are afraid that the two elders will feel upset.

After all, my eldest brother hasn’t been back for almost 7 years. In the past few years, he often said that he would come back, but he never did.

"You have a high salary now, so you must lend your sister money when she asks you to lend it to you in the future!"

"You're dreaming. Your family is richer than me, and you still want to borrow from me. I won't lend you money." Liu Qingshan rolled his eyes.

"Sister-in-law! Look at your husband, he's so stingy, he's almost as stingy as the old man next door." The second sister saw that Liu Qingshan was difficult to discipline, so she quickly called for help.

"No, that's not possible. His salary is with me. You can just come to me." Feng Yu replied with a smile!

"That's as she should be. My wife is the one who manages the money in our family." My brother-in-law echoed.

"Xiao San, the boy from Sha Zhu's family is about one month older than Xixi. What's his name?" asked the second sister.

"He is about a month older than Xixi. His nickname is Niu Niu and his real name is He Mingxuan. I named him that." Liu Qingshan said proudly.

They finished their meal chatting and laughing.

My sister and mother went to clean up the dishes, and the three old men sat at the table and started drinking tea again.

"Xinjie, Xiaosan, there are more and more unemployed young people out there now. You should have less contact with those people outside. It's easy for something to get into trouble." Father Liu took a sip of tea and sighed again.

"Yes, there are fewer job opportunities now and not so many positions available." My brother-in-law sighed!

"It will probably get worse in a short period of time, there's no good way to deal with it!" Liu Qingshan said.

"It's difficult for us to control other people's families, so you should pay attention to your safety when you are outside," said Liu's father.

"Got it, Dad." x2.

"Xinjie has been promoted to deputy section chief now, right?" asked Liu's father.

"When did this happen? Why haven't I heard about it?" Liu Qingshan also had a puzzled look on his face.

"He was just promoted last month and is now the deputy section chief in charge of sales." My brother-in-law said with a smile.

"Brother-in-law, if you want to move up further, you have to pay more attention to the quality of service. This kind of work attitude is not good." Liu Qingshan said.

"How can we catch them? It doesn't matter how much work they do. Even our section chief can't control that group of salesmen. I'd like to say a few more words and I'd be lucky if they don't scold me." My brother-in-law scratched his head.

"If you want to manage it well, you still have to set up a reward and punishment system. Those with good work performance will be rewarded, and those with poor performance will be punished. You can set the specific assessment standards based on their work." Liu Qingshan made a suggestion.

When my brother-in-law heard this, his eyes lit up and he immediately pulled Liu Qingshan aside to start chatting.

The three of them chatted for a few hours before the sister came over and took her brother-in-law away.
