Comfortable life in Siheyuan

In the evening, Liu Qingshan was stopped by someone just as he passed by the gate of the courtyard.

"Brother Qingshan, Happy New Year." The voice was not loud, but one could still hear a slight tremor in it.

"Happy New Year!" Liu Qingshan walked out of the yard and wanted to see who was standing at the door. The voice just now was not loud and could not be heard clearly.

"Brother Qingshan, it's me, Guangtian. I'm here to wish you a happy new year!" Liu Guangtian said shyly.

"Broad day! Happy New Year to you too, why are you standing in the corner? I didn't even see you just now." Liu Qingshan said with a smile.

"Brother Qingshan, I... Woo~" Liu Guangtian started crying before he could finish his sentence.

"Don't cry! What's wrong? Are you feeling wronged?" Liu Qingshan comforted softly.

"Brother, you are a leader now, and I would like to ask you for help. I can't stay in this family for another day. When my eldest brother was at home, we were often beaten. Now my eldest brother has run away, and a new apprentice has moved in, and Guangfu and I are still beaten every day." As he said this, Guangtian opened his clothes regardless of the cold weather.

Liu Qingshan took a breath of cold air, and saw a large area of ​​bruises on Liu Guangtian's chest. It was obvious that there were some old and some new wounds from different times.

"Brother, the situation in the front was relatively okay because we ran fast. The injury on the back is really scary!" Liu Guangtian said with tears in his eyes.

"How do you want me to help you? What if the second uncle has any objections?" Liu Qingshan said worriedly.

"I want to find a job, any temporary job will do, and then either live in the factory dormitory or rent a house for myself. I can't stay in this home anymore. It's too depressing." Liu Guangtian said with a firm face.

"What will happen to Guangfu if you leave? He is still young and depends on your parents for food." Liu Qingshan said after hesitating for a moment.

"Guangfu is still young. If I leave, maybe my father will beat him less. He can't force all three sons away." Liu Guangtian said after thinking for a while.

"I'll think about your situation when I get back. Please give me a few days. These days are holidays and I haven't gone to work yet. I can't do anything." Liu Qingshan said after thinking for a moment.

As soon as Liu Qingshan finished speaking, Liu Guangtian on the opposite side suddenly fell to his knees.

"Brother Qingshan, I know you are a capable man. I beg you to help me think of a solution. I will definitely repay you in the future." After saying this, Liu Guangtian was ready to kowtow.

Liu Qingshan stopped him and said, "Stand up first. This matter cannot be resolved in a short time. You go back first. I will inform you when there is news." Liu Qingshan patted Guangtian's arm and advised gently.

"Okay, Brother Qingshan, I'll go back first. Thank you." Liu Guangtian walked towards his home, looking back every few steps.

Liu Qingshan was still a little dizzy at first, but after chatting with Liu Guangtian for a while, he felt completely sober.

I was constantly thinking about it in my heart.

At night, at the dinner table at Liu Haizhong's house, Liu Haizhong sat at the main seat, and Cui Dake sat on his right. They each poured a glass of wine and chatted with each other, laughing constantly.

On the left sat the second aunt, who was eating her meal with big mouthfuls, oblivious to the people around her. Occasionally, she would stop what she was doing and considerately fill a glass of wine for the second uncle.

At the same time, opposite Liu Haizhong sat the brothers Guangtian and Guangfu. They each had a steamed bun in their hands, but the dishes on the table were the farthest away from them.

At this time, Liu Guangtian stretched out his chopsticks towards the plate of meat. Just as he picked up a piece of meat, the quick-eyed and quick-handed Second Aunt slapped it hard with chopsticks.

"Go away, this is specially made for your dad to eat with wine. You two can just eat this!" Second Aunt said as she pushed a plate of steaming potatoes and cabbage stew in front of the two brothers.

The two brothers looked at each other silently, then turned to look at the potatoes and cabbage in front of them. No one spoke for a while.

"You two still want to eat meat? Don't you take a look at your own weight? You are really useless if you just idle away all day. I really wonder if giving birth to you is a debt I owed you in my previous life." Liu Hai, who was already slightly drunk, said sarcastically.

However, at this moment, no one noticed that Liu Guangtian's hand under the table had already been clenched into a fist, as if he was trying his best to restrain the surging emotions in his heart.

"Dake, tell me, do you think your master will have a chance to become an official in this life? I have been working as a senior worker for quite a long time." Liu Haizhong asked drunkenly.

"Master, your craftsmanship is the best in our workshop. You have trained the most apprentices. If you were a director, everyone would listen to your call for care! I think the director is afraid that you will overshadow him, so he has not promoted you." Cui Dake praised at the right time.

"That's right, what can our director do? Doesn't he just shout a few times for no reason? It's us workers who are doing the work. What's so difficult about his job!" Liu Haizhong said indignantly.

"Master, don't be anxious. There will always be a chance. Our deputy director position has been vacant for a long time. You can try to get a chance if you can." Cui Dake suggested in a low voice.

"I just don't know any leaders! I'm the only cadre in our hospital and I'm from the technical department. I don't usually participate in the management of the factory." Liu Haizhong said somewhat disappointedly.

"Is it also from our factory? How come I don't know about it?" Cui Dake asked puzzledly.

"He's the third son of the Liu family who lives next door to us. He's the head of the technical department of our factory." Liu Haizhong said calmly.

"He doesn't look very old, so how come he became the section chief?" Cui Dake slowly added some wine to Liu Haizhong's glass and asked softly.

"He graduated from college and was a technician when he first joined the factory. We don't know the details, but he was promoted to deputy section chief in more than a year, and was promoted to the next level before the New Year, becoming the section chief of the technical department." Liu Haizhong said somewhat indignantly.

When Cui Dake heard this, he was still a little shocked. He was promoted to section chief in just over two years. He was not that stupid guy like Liu Haizhong who knew nothing. He was familiar with the twists and turns involved.

"Then didn't you ask him?" Cui Dake asked with a smile.

"What are you asking? His last business trip lasted almost a year. How could he know anyone in the factory?" Liu Haizhong said disdainfully.

Cui Dake understood in his heart that it seemed that this person was very low-key in the yard, otherwise he would not be able to live in peace in this yard.

"Master, I'm quite familiar with Deputy Director Liu of our factory. When I start working, I will ask around for you and see if I can help you get some connections." Cui Dake explained with a smile.

Hearing his disciple's words, the cloudy old eyes in his bangs suddenly flashed with a gleam of light, and he said with a little trembling: "Dake, are you serious? You are not trying to make Master happy. Master is old and can't stand this kind of stimulation!"

"Don't worry, he was the one who arranged for me to join the factory this year. I have a good relationship with him." Cui Dake said with some pride.

Hearing this, Liu Haizhong immediately changed his expression: "Come on, come on, you can eat some meat to wash down the wine. Eat more vegetables and you will still be full."
