Comfortable life in Siheyuan

After making an appointment with his colleagues in the technical department, Liu Qingshan finished his work for the day, packed up and went home.

After sending Xiaoyu home safely, Liu Qingshan returned to the house, picked up the money he had prepared in advance, turned around and walked out the door.

He originally planned to go directly to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy items, but when he walked to the gate of the courtyard, he suddenly saw a strange man with a small bag walking towards him. Liu Qingshan couldn't help but feel surprised.

This man named Cui Dake obviously didn't know Liu Qingshan, he just walked into the courtyard. Liu Qingshan saw this, he hurriedly stopped and walked forward to stop him.

"Who are you looking for? What's the matter?" Liu Qingshan tried to calm himself down and asked in a calm tone.

Faced with Liu Qingshan's question, Cui Dake seemed a little confused. He shook his head, indicating that he did not know the person in front of him.

At this moment, the third uncle happened to come out from the door. He recognized Cui Dake at a glance and quickly explained, "Oh, this is the second uncle's new apprentice, who just became his disciple some time ago. It's just that you were not at home at the time, so you don't know the situation very well."

Hearing this, Liu Qingshansong's heart tightened, and an awkward smile appeared on his face. He nodded to Cui Dake, indicating that he had no ill intentions, and then turned and left the courtyard.

After rushing to the supply and marketing cooperative, Liu Qingshan picked out two bottles of good wine, and then rushed to a nearby small restaurant. Along the way, he kept recalling Cui Dake's situation in his mind.

During the dinner, Liu Qingshan's thoughts had already flown away, and his mind was full of Cui Dake's disgusting face.

It seems that this turmoil is destined to be not peaceful! Originally, I thought that after sending away Li Huaide, the plague god, I could live a few days of peace, but who would have thought that Cui Dake would appear to add to the chaos!

If Cui Dake really colluded with Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao, then the whole yard would probably be in turmoil forever!

At this moment, a sudden shout broke Liu Qingshan's meditation: "Qingshan, what are you doing? I'm calling you to drink, did you hear me?"

Liu Qingshan suddenly came back to his senses and found that it was Director Qin who was calling him to drink. He quickly responded, "Oh, sorry, I was distracted just now, thinking about something."

After saying that, Liu Qingshan quickly adjusted his state, picked up the wine glass and drank it all with everyone, and finished this sumptuous meal with everyone chatting and laughing.

After eating and drinking, everyone slumped in their chairs and started chatting.

"Director Qin, Engineer Liu is hosting the party today. When will you treat us? You have been promoted to deputy director. Don't you want to celebrate?" Tang Xiaoling asked bluntly and bluntly.

"Are you not full? Are you thinking about the next meal so soon?" Director Qin was not angry. After all, these people were his subordinates.

"How can that be? You're such a big leader, you can't be stingy." Tang Xiaoling said relentlessly.

"Don't be anxious. Our Director Qin didn't say he wouldn't invite us. Maybe he has already set a date." Liu Qingshan also joined in the fun.

"Director Qin got promoted. This is a great event! We really need to celebrate it." Wang Lei and Li Changhai echoed.

"I didn't say I won't treat you. You've known me for so long, don't you know me? Am I a stingy person? I'll treat you after a few days of vacation, okay?" Director Qin said with a smile.

"Okay, this is settled. No changes!" Tang Xiaoling couldn't wait to finalize it.

Seeing Tang Xiaoling so anxious, everyone burst into laughter.

"Although Qingshan is treating us today, we in the technical department should thank him. Since he came to our department, our achievements have been obvious to all." Section Chief Qin said with a smile on his face.

"Yes, he came to our department later than me, and look at him now, he's an eighth-level engineer and deputy section chief. It's only been a few years." Tang Xiaoling said complainingly.

"Don't think like that. Look at what level your classmates are at now. You have been promoted several levels in the past two years. Be content!" Wang Lei joked with a smile.

"I'm not ungrateful, I just felt that Chief Liu flew too fast. We couldn't even see his back." Tang Xiaoling said resentfully.

"Qingshan is a very capable person. He is well-known in the department. He accomplished something big during this business trip." Director Qin said mysteriously.

"What's the big deal? Could it be that Miss Qiu is getting married some time ago?" Tang Xiaoling's eyes widened with surprise.

"What a joke! I haven't left Beijing during this period of time." Liu Qingshan retorted helplessly.

"Don't talk nonsense! That was a huge project that took many years, and he hadn't even graduated at that time!" Director Qin said with a deliberately stern face, pretending to be angry.

"Oh, I see. What happened? Why haven't I heard of anything big happening?" Li Changhai asked suspiciously.

"My brothers, you really think too highly of me. I don't have the ability to do something that would shock the whole country." Liu Qingshan hurriedly defended himself.

"Although this matter is not earth-shattering, it is definitely not small. Comrade Qingshan recently participated in the research and development of our steel industry's top top-blown oxygen converter, and he overcame the difficult problem of the 100-ton steelmaking furnace in one fell swoop. This has put our steelmaking technology on the track of rapid development!" Director Qin commented with a satisfied smile.

"It is the result of the hard work of a large number of technical personnel, not just my personal efforts," Liu Qingshan said modestly.

"You don't have to underestimate yourself. During the time you were away, our factory has received several letters of praise. This is obvious to all." Director Qin said with a smile.

"You are so awesome. You are also the head of the technical department at the new suitcase factory. You may also be the head of the technical department in our factory." Tang Xiaoling said enviously.

"Okay, stop praising me. I'm blushing if you keep praising me." Liu Qingshan said shyly.

Outside the window, the night was as dark as ink, as if it was a huge paintbrush wielded by nature, drawing a beautiful end to this banquet.

Liu Qingshan bathed in the cold moonlight and hurried home.

After entering the house, Liu Qingshan looked at his wife and children with satisfaction, his heart filled with happiness.

"Wife, when did the second uncle accept an apprentice? I met him when I went out today." Liu Qingshan thought of Cui Dake.

"It was some time ago. I have forgotten the details. But he passed the last factory skills assessment and even came to thank the second uncle." Feng Yu answered after thinking.

"He actually got a permanent job. He's quite capable of handling things." Liu Qingshan muttered softly.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with that person?" Feng Yu asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"It's nothing. Maybe I mistook him for someone I know." Liu Qingshan explained with a smile.
