Comfortable life in Siheyuan

Time flies, and it is already the end of the month. Liu Qingshan's job has also changed. Every morning, he goes to the steel rolling mill to oversee the construction of the converter; after a quick lunch, he rushes to the luggage factory to supervise the production process. He is so busy all day that he can hardly find a moment of leisure.

Fortunately, after adjustments before the New Year, the suitcase factory gradually got back on track and all work was carried out in an orderly manner, which made Liu Qingshan feel a little relieved.

Finally, on this day, the first batch of 5,000 suitcases produced by the luggage factory had all completed the packaging process and were neatly stacked in the warehouse, waiting for the transport vehicles to arrive and transport them to their destination. Looking at the mountains of labor results in front of him, Liu Qingshan couldn't help but feel an indescribable excitement in his heart.

That afternoon, more than a dozen large trucks arrived and took them away directly, along with leather belts, wallets and other products produced in the factory's small workshop.

Watching the cars going away, Director Nie and Liu Qingshan, who were standing at the factory gate, were full of anticipation.

"Qingshan, our mission is finally completed. Do you think these can be exchanged for foreign currency?" Director Nie's tone was full of longing. This was the first mission he was responsible for independently, and he had great expectations for it.

"Don't worry, our product is the only one in the world, so we will have no problem selling it. The team in the south is ready now, and we can just ship the products over, put a label on them, and sell them." Liu Qingshan said confidently.

"Then you can take a break now. You've been so nervous these days. Go back and have a rest!" Director Nie said with a smile.

"Okay, thank you very much for your concern for our work, Director, but the current production must not be stopped. After all, we need to continue to increase production and ensure that there are sufficient reserves of goods in the warehouse. In this way, if the market demand suddenly surges and the inventory is cleared, and we are unable to replenish it in time, the situation will be embarrassing." Liu Qingshan responded with a smile.

Director Nie couldn't help laughing after hearing this. He shook his head and said, "You are really bold! The suggested retail price you proposed to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is so high, how could it be possible that all the products were sold out at once? I don't quite believe what you said."

However, Liu Qingshan was quite confident. He even suggested to the relevant personnel of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that a batch of products be given to the stewardesses of several large airlines in the south. Because these stewardesses are undoubtedly a very special kind of living advertising signs, which will definitely bring huge sales impetus.

"Then let's make a bet! I firmly believe that our products will be sold out quickly." Liu Qingshan said confidently.

"No problem, since you are so confident, I will make a bet with you. I happen to have a bottle of fine wine that I have treasured for a long time. If I lose in the end, this bottle of wine will be yours." Director Nie answered generously.

"It's a deal! Director, your bottle of wine is destined to become my trophy." Liu Qingshan declared confidently.

Liu Qingshan returned home in the evening feeling somewhat relaxed, but as soon as he entered the yard he noticed that the atmosphere was not right.

The third uncle who usually guards the door was not present today, which was unusual. Even the door of his house was closed.

Liu Qingshan walked through the hanging flower gate and headed for the middle courtyard without stopping. As soon as he entered the middle courtyard, he was stopped by Aunt Jia.

Liu Qingshan tried hard to keep a smile on his face and asked Jia Zhang: "Aunt Jia, is there anything you want to talk to me about?"

Jia Zhang said with a smile on her face: "Qingshan, you don't know that a big thing happened in the front yard!"

As she spoke, she waved her hands in an exaggerated manner.

Liu Qingshan's curiosity was instantly piqued, and he quickly asked, "What happened in the front yard? I just came back and I haven't heard about it!"

Jia Zhang looked mysterious and said in a low voice, "There was a quarrel in Yan Bugui's family today! I heard that Jie Cheng was ill and couldn't have children. Look, his wife made a big scene at home this afternoon!"

Hearing this, Liu Qingshan couldn't help but feel suspicious. You know, according to the original plot, Yan Jiecheng already had a child, and they hadn't divorced.

"No way? Maybe they were arguing about something else. Did you hear it wrong?" Liu Qingshan muttered softly.

"How could that be possible! I heard it clearly, there's no doubt about it! His door is closed now, and I guess there's still a stalemate going on inside!" Aunt Jia answered firmly.

Liu Qingshan did not refute and thought: What does it have to do with him whether Yan Jiecheng can have children or not?

"Okay, Aunt Jia, I understand. I'll go back first." Liu Qingshan said, and prepared to push the cart away. However, he pushed the cart twice and it didn't move.

Aunt Jia showed a trace of embarrassment on her face, and said to Liu Qingshan with a smile: "Qingshan, I have something else I want to ask you."

Liu Qingshan muttered to himself: There are so many exciting things happening in the courtyard, why would Aunt Jia tell him? He is not a person who likes to join in the fun. It turned out that Aunt Jia had something to discuss with him.

"Aunt Jia, if you have something to say, just tell me. We are neighbors, there is no need to be like this." Liu Qingshan said with a smile.

"Qingshan, the last donation and assistance thing happens every month, right? The first month of the year is almost over, so can we get the money at the beginning of next month?" When Jia Zhang said this, she seemed a little embarrassed, which surprised Liu Qingshan who was standing next to her.

"Aunt Jia, I don't know how your family and the Liu family negotiated this matter. But as for me personally, I do provide assistance to Aunt Li's family in the backyard every month. And the next assistance will be delivered to their home in a few days." Liu Qingshan didn't want to dwell on this matter too much, so he simply answered frankly.

"Our family hasn't discussed this with Liu Haizhong! Then I have to go and ask him right away. This assistance cannot be abandoned halfway." Jia Zhang muttered to herself.

Seeing that Aunt Jia was still immersed in thought, Liu Qingshan took the opportunity to quietly push the cart back, his steps as fast as a storm.

Stepping into the house, Liu Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief. He was secretly glad that it was not him who was responsible for helping the Jia family this time, otherwise he would be really disgusted.

Standing in the middle courtyard, Jia Zhang finally understood after some hard thinking. Her face was filled with irrepressible excitement, as if she had discovered some great secret. Then, she walked briskly towards her home in the backyard.

At the same time, Liu Qingshan was quietly standing at the door of the east wing, watching Jia Zhang's every move. When he saw Jia Zhang walk into Liu Haizhong's house, Liu Qingshan also showed a curious look.
