Comfortable life in Siheyuan

At night, when Liu Qingshan just entered the courtyard after work, the third uncle appeared like a ghost: "Qingshan, go back and check, your boss is back."

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingshan was so happy that he pushed the cart to the backyard at full speed.

"Slow down, this is inconvenient for me!" Feng Yu complained coquettishly.

"I was so happy that I forgot everything." Liu Qingshan replied with a big laugh.

The two of them arrived home in a moment.

"Brother, are you back?" Liu Qingshan's voice was heard before he even entered the room.

"I'm here, I'm here! Why are you in such a hurry?" Liu's mother came over, took the bag from Feng Yu's arms, turned to Liu Qingshan and said.

"Xiao San is back and has grown taller. He's also more capable now. That's great." The eldest brother Liu Qingsong, who had dark skin and a pine-like figure, walked over with big strides, put his arm around Liu Qingshan's shoulders, and patted him excitedly.

"Brother, please be gentle. You are being too harsh. My small body can't withstand your torment." Liu Qingshan joked with a smile.

"Don't try to smooth talk with me. This is your sister-in-law Li Sisi. Come here to say hello." Liu Qingsong introduced her to him with a smile on his face.

"Hello sister-in-law, welcome home." Liu Qingshan said with a smile.

"Hello, when Qingsong was in the army, he always said that he had a good younger brother at home so that he could serve with peace of mind." The sister-in-law explained politely.

"Brother, sister-in-law, this is my wife Feng Yu. We got married last year." Liu Qingshan turned around and took Xixi again.

"Come, this is your niece. This is the first time you meet her, you can't come empty-handed." Liu Qingshan said with a smile.

"Okay, stop trying to be smart in front of your brother. Hurry up and ride your bike to inform your sister. Let her and her family sleep in your room tonight." Mother Liu patted Liu Qingshan on the back and instructed with a smile.

"Brother, don't forget. I'm going to find my sister now." With that, Liu Qingshan hurried out.

"Mom, is this mistress still so impulsive?" Liu Qingsong asked with a smile!

"How could that be possible? Your brother is now an engineer at the steel mill and also the deputy chief of the technical department. He is usually very steady. He is just happy that you are back!" The smile on Liu's mother's face never disappeared.

Liu Qingshan rushed on the road like an arrow, and arrived at his sister's house in the blink of an eye.

"Knock knock knock!!! Knock knock knock!!" The rapid knocking on the door, like a war drum, rang in the ears of the person inside.

"Who is it? I'm coming. I'm coming right away." The person inside the door heard the voice and responded quickly.

"Sister, brother-in-law, I'm Qingshan." Liu Qingshan's voice was as loud as a bell.

"What happened? Why are you so anxious? Look at you, you're sweating all over. Don't catch a cold when you turn around." The second sister said with concern.

"Sister, eldest brother is back, and he brought his sister-in-law with him! Mom asked you to go back together and get together. You can stay here tonight..." Before Liu Qingshan finished speaking, the second sister turned around and went back to the house to pack her things.

"Xinjie, take the two bottles of wine from home, find Dongdong's clothes, and go back to the courtyard to live today." The second sister's voice was high and loud, echoing in the house like a gong.

"Sister, we have some wine at home. Some time ago, I asked my brother-in-law to stock up a box of Moutai. We have some to drink. You just pack up your things and come back with me." Liu Qingshan said with a smile. His laughter was as warm as the sunshine.

"Okay, I won't be polite with you. I'll go see if there are any meat or vegetables at home and bring some back." The second sister turned around and went back into the kitchen.

"Don't worry, my dad has a set of pig offal, it's all packed up, I'll go get it." My brother-in-law said, and walked out the door as fast as the wind.

"Xiao San, why didn't you tell me earlier? I wasn't prepared at all." The second sister complained, with a hint of anger in her tone.

"How would I know when he would come back? I only found out when I got home from get off work." Liu Qingshan looked innocent and puzzled.

"Brother, have you changed a lot? I haven't seen you in years."

"It's okay, a little darker, and taller than me. And stronger." Liu Qingshan thought for a moment and replied.

After a few minutes, my brother-in-law came back.

"Come, let's go down and get it back. Qingshan, do you have all the vegetables for winter storage at home?" My brother-in-law asked with a sense of relief, holding the vegetable basket.

"We have everything at home, prepared long ago. It's enough to eat. Hurry up." With that, Liu Qingshan carried Dongdong and hurried out the door.

There were four people in the group, riding two bicycles. Liu Qingshan was carrying his sister. His brother-in-law had something sitting on the front bar of the bicycle, and there were vegetables hanging on the handlebars, as they rode towards the courtyard.

Before I even entered the house, my sister started shouting while holding Dongdong.

"Brother, brother." The second sister shouted, her eyes a little red.

"Hey, brother is here." The eldest brother also came out and hugged the second sister tightly.

Liu's parents have always been working, and the three siblings grew up together and have a good relationship.

The eldest brother is the oldest and best at fighting, and he always protects his two younger siblings.

"That's enough. You're already a mother and you're still crying. Come in quickly and don't make a fool of yourself." The eldest brother's eyes turned red as he spoke.

Liu Qingshan smiled and joked: "Sister, you can't cry. Dongdong will think that our brother is bullying you if he sees you."

"Get out of my way, you're everywhere." The second sister now put on a fierce expression again.

"Brother, why haven't you come back yet? It's been so many years, and our parents have been looking forward to seeing you, their eldest son, every day! Right, Mom?" Liu Qingshan asked with a smile, his words full of longing.

"Yes, yes, you guys chat first. Your dad and I will go make dinner. It's lively at home today, you guys chat more." Mother Liu said as she walked towards the kitchen.

"I'll help you, Mom. Xinjie brought some pig offal. I'll do it with you." Just as the second sister was about to get up, she was pushed down by Liu's mother.

"You two siblings should just have a good chat. Your dad and I will be busy." Mother Liu took the dishes from her brother-in-law and went out with a smile on her face.

"Brother, this is my husband, Zhao Xinjie. I have known him since I graduated from high school. He works as a clerk in the supply and marketing cooperative." My sister introduced happily.

"Hello, brother-in-law!" My brother-in-law greeted with a smile.

"This is your little nephew Dongdong. Come, Dongdong, call me uncle and aunt."

"Uncle, aunt. Uncle, aunt." Dongdong looked at the people in the room and kept repeating with his little mouth.

"Qingxia, Qingshan, I have not been home for these years and the family has relied on you to take care of it. I am really happy that your brother is back this time. Really, Qingshan, you even bought a house next to my parents. This time, I feel much more at ease." The eldest brother's face was filled with smiles.

"We're a family, there's no need to be polite. Brother, how long will you stay this time?" The second sister came over and asked.

"About a month. I'll go back after the Lantern Festival. But I have to go to your sister-in-law's house these days. I have to wish her parents a happy new year in advance." The eldest brother replied with a smile.

"From the sound of your sister-in-law's accent, you can tell that she has a northern accent. Where are you from?" Liu Qingshan turned around and asked.

"Your sister-in-law is from Sijiu City. She is in the same army as me. She is a military doctor." The eldest brother turned to look at his sister-in-law, his eyes full of tenderness.

"My family lives in a military compound. After I graduated from university, my family arranged for me to join the army." My sister-in-law said with a smile.
