Comfortable life in Siheyuan

"Brother, how did you and sister-in-law know each other?" The second sister asked like a curious cat, with a gossipy look on her face.

"Didn't I go abroad to fight some time ago? A soldier in our class had a broken bone and was staying in the hospital where your sister-in-law was. I sent him there, and as a result, I got to know your sister-in-law. Later, we asked our leader to act as a matchmaker, and we got married." Liu Qingsong said with a smile on his face.

"Brother, are you okay?" Liu Qingshan's heart tightened when he heard this, and he asked worriedly.

"No, all of us in the company are fine. That guy ran too fast and broke his arm. During the battle, his momentum was unstoppable." At this point, Liu Qingsong couldn't help laughing.

"Did you accomplish anything this time?" the second sister asked eagerly, curiosity gleaming in her eyes.

"Your brother and his entire company were awarded second-class merit. They were so powerful during that period!" The sister-in-law said with a smile on her face, staring at Liu Qingsong with eyes full of admiration.

"Brother, are you planning to transfer back to Beijing?" Liu Qingshan asked suddenly.

"Let's talk about it later. The army leaders take good care of me. I came back this time to see what my father-in-law thinks. I'm fine with it. I've adapted quite well there now." Liu Qingsong looked calm.

"I don't think you will have another war for a long time this time. You have already made a name for yourself. We will be able to have peace for a while."

"That's right. The other side probably has psychological trauma. Wouldn't it be courting death if they come again?" Liu Qingsong said domineeringly.

Liu Qingsong couldn't help laughing when he recalled the fierce war.

"Okay, stop chatting and get ready for dinner." Liu's mother shouted loudly in the kitchen.

The people in the room immediately stopped talking. The second sister and sister-in-law went to the kitchen to serve the dishes. Feng Yu put the table and chairs in order and followed them into the kitchen.

"Oh, I almost forgot. I have to go back and get a bottle of wine. I need to drink some good wine today." With that, Liu Qingshan ran back to his room.

After a while, Liu Qingshan came trotting in with two bottles of Moutai.

"Hey, Xiaosan, you are pretty awesome. You even drink Moutai. Do you have any left? Give two bottles to your brother. Your sister-in-law and I will visit your parents-in-law tomorrow." Liu Qingsong looked at the two bottles of Moutai and said to Qingshan with a smile.

"Hey, it's not appropriate for you to rob your brother as soon as you come back!" Liu Qingshan joked with a smile.

"It's okay, brother. We have several bottles at home. I'll get them for you later." Feng Yu said with a smile.

"Look, your sister-in-law is more sensible. You need to learn more from others." Liu Qingsong looked at the third brother and said jokingly.

"Okay, why can't I take it? I asked my brother-in-law to stock up a box of them. They are all 10-year-old wines. You can also stock up some when you have wine tickets in the future. This thing will make you look good whether you are asking people to do things for you or giving it as a gift to someone at home." Liu Qingshan almost said that this thing would be very valuable in the future.

"Okay, I'll stock up some later."

"Okay, let's eat first, otherwise the food will get cold." Liu's mother said happily.

"My eldest brother, his wife, my sister and his husband are all back today. Our whole family is here. Dad, why don't you raise a glass to yours?" Liu Qingshan looked at his father and laughed.

"Okay, let's listen to the third brother. Everyone is here today, let's have a drink together. I hope we can get together like this often in the future and have fun." Father Liu said, holding up the wine glass.

"Cheers!" Several people clinked their glasses together.

There was laughter and joy at the Liu family's home. Liu Qingsong talked about his interesting experiences in the army, and Liu Qingshan also talked about the changes in the courtyard.

Liu Qingsong was also very surprised when he heard it.

After dinner, my brother-in-law suddenly asked, "Qingshan, where are the stones you mentioned before? I'm free today, so why don't you take them out and let me have a look."

Liu Qingshan was a little surprised when he heard this. He stared at his brother-in-law with wide eyes and asked in confusion: "Brother-in-law, why did you suddenly think of this? Could it be that you and our eldest brother have discussed it and want to join forces to rob me?"

"What treasure? How come I don't know about it?" Liu Qingsong replied in confusion.

"You don't know, okay! I'll get it for you!" Liu Qingshan said as he turned back to the house, unpacked the packages layer by layer, and took them out for them.

Not long after, he came out with three red stones in his hands, and then placed them carefully on the table.

"Look, these are the three pieces of bloodstone." Liu Qingshan stood guarding them as if they were rare treasures, his eyes full of pride and expectation.

Everyone gathered around and stared at the three bloodstones intently.

"I said it last time. They're just three red stones. What's so special about them?" Feng Yu said nonchalantly.

"Are these stones the treasures you are talking about? You probably don't know where your brother is serving as a soldier. I don't have anything else but a lot of stones. Wait a minute, I have something in my bag!" With that, the eldest brother went back to the house to get his bag.

"Qingshan, this is indeed a good thing. They don't understand that it used to be used by dignitaries and literati to carve seals and ornaments. These pieces are all good." The brother-in-law smiled and patted Liu Qingshan's shoulder.

"Right, brother-in-law. They don't understand, and you understand more." Liu Qingshan felt very proud when he heard his brother-in-law say this.

"These pieces are considered the finest of Changhua chicken blood stones. They are in good condition. They are quite good and have collection value." My sister-in-law suddenly said.

"Sister-in-law, you also understand these things?" Liu Qingshan looked at his sister-in-law in surprise.

"My grandfather's family used to be a scholarly family. I often followed them around to play when I was a child, so I understand a little bit about it," my sister-in-law explained with a smile.

While they were talking, the eldest brother came over.

"Come, Qingshan. Take a look at these stones." The elder brother casually threw a small bag of five or six pieces of Hetian jade seed material on the table. However, they were not big, and the largest one was only the size of a fist.

Everyone looked at the eldest brother in amazement.

"Brother, you came such a long way, don't you think the stones are too heavy to carry back?" The second sister's face was full of surprise, as if she had seen something unbelievable.

"If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. These are all Hetian jade seeds, rare and good things!" My brother-in-law said as he couldn't wait to reach out and pick it up to look at it.

"I don't understand any of this. These were all picked by your sister-in-law. She heard that you had a child, and brought these gifts specially for the child. But I couldn't find anyone who could make them, so you can find someone to do it yourself when you have time." The eldest brother explained with a smile.

"Brother, do you have so many good materials?" Liu Qingshan asked in surprise, still a little dazed.

"There are plenty of stones like that anyway, and I don't quite understand why." Liu Qingsong smiled and scratched his head.

"Haha, don't listen to your brother's nonsense. Those stones he said are everywhere are indeed just ordinary stones. There are not so many valuable seeds, and those with good appearance are even rarer.

I worked there for a few years and only collected some good ones. It was inconvenient to come back this time, so I only brought a few small ones. "Sister-in-law Li Sisi explained with a smile.

"Aren't they all stones? What's the difference?" The eldest brother looked at the happy people and wondered.
