Comfortable life in Siheyuan

At lunchtime, Liu Qingshan suddenly realized that the table at home was not big enough for everyone. The younger generation was still young, and when they got older, they would have to have another table for them.

"Brother, you and sister should come home often during this period. I guess I will be on a business trip in a few days. If anything happens at home, please take care of it." Liu Qingshan said seriously.

"Work is important, don't worry about home. Your sister and I live not far away, and I will come back to visit when I have time." The sister immediately assured.

"Yes, your sister-in-law and I will come back when we are free, so don't worry." said the eldest brother.

"Your mother and I are not too old to move, so you don't have to run back and forth. If something really happens, you don't have to come back often. Just go about your own business." Father Liu said happily.

"That's right. Don't worry about us. Just take care of yourself out there. You don't know anyone here, so get along well with them." said Liu's mother.

"Our family affairs are simple. My parents and I can handle them. You should eat on time when you are outside and don't tire yourself out." Feng Yu became a little depressed. He did go on business trips quite a lot in the past few years after marriage and missed the birth of his two children. Liu Qingshan felt that he still owed this family.

"Don't worry, you won't be away for too long this time, just over a month at most." Liu Qingshan comforted with a smile, and his hand under the table unconsciously held Feng Yu's hand.

"Qingshan, why did I hear people saying that Banggeng was a thief when I came back today? When did this happen?" The second sister changed the subject and asked curiously.

"Some time ago, he stole something from a classmate at school. Later, somehow Aunt Three started talking about it with others in the yard, and now everyone in the neighborhood knows about it," Liu Qingshan explained with a smile.

"This child had a pretty face when he was young, how come he became like this?" the second sister said in surprise.

"Yes, although the child was a little naughty when he was young, he was fair-skinned and everyone in the yard liked him very much!" Liu's mother said with some emotion.

"What can you learn from that old lady Jia? All you learned is that stealing is not called stealing, that is taking. It turns out that all this belongs to his family." Liu Qingshan said disdainfully.

"Alas! Qin Huairu is too soft-hearted. And something like that happened a few years ago. She has no say in the child's education. This old hag has been protecting her." Father Liu sighed. He also felt sorry for the child.

"What happened to Qin Huairu again? How many things have I missed in these years when I was away from home?" Liu Qingsong asked in surprise.

"I know this. Let me tell you." The second sister volunteered.

"Okay, you say." Liu's mother said with a smile.

"Qin Huairu had an affair with a deputy director of their factory. She was caught in the act and was almost fired." The second sister also heard it from others. In fact, she didn't know everything.

"In fact, she has been dating the deputy factory director for a long time. Many people in our yard can guess that. During that period, Qin Huairu was transferred to logistics. Her work became easier, she became more generous when buying things, and even a little arrogant. Mom and Dad, do you have any impression of this?" Liu Qingshan continued.

"Indeed, she seemed like a completely different person during that period of time. I was even wondering how beautiful she became!" Liu's mother also remembered it.

"Later, the deputy factory director was quite a generous person. He gave her a way out and said she was forced. In fact, everyone knows what happened. But considering that her late husband Jia Dongxu died of a work-related injury in the factory, it was not easy to be too harsh. It was handled so simply." Liu Qingshan said with a smile.

"I really can't believe it. When she got married, I remember she was only eighteen or nineteen, a little older than me, and looked very quiet and gentle. But in the blink of an eye, she has become like this." Liu Qingsong shook his head and sighed.

"Yes, life is unpredictable." Father Liu sighed.

During the meal, we talked about a lot of things that my brother and sister-in-law didn’t know, and time passed by unknowingly.

Standing at the door and watching his brother, sister and their families leave, Liu Qingshan still felt very happy.

"Go home, wife." "Okay!"

At night, Liu Qingshan didn't know how to comfort Feng Yu and could only hug her tightly.

……

On Monday, I went to the steel mill. Liu Qingshan received a notice early in the morning that he would be going on a business trip in two days. The place he was going to was quite far away, in the island city. He was not the only one going, as several people from the technical department were going with him.

Liu Qingshan quickly called Deputy Section Chief Li Changhai, carefully explained some of the tasks that needed to be assigned to him, and then went to the leather factory without stopping.

Before she could say a few words to Tang Xiaoling, Director Nie blocked the door with an unhappy look on his face.

"My Deputy Director Liu, are you going to run away again? Are you going to quit at this critical moment?" Director Nie asked with an unhappy look on his face.

"According to a notice from the ministry, we are going to the island city to help build a large-tonnage converter. We will be back in about a month. I will explain everything during this period to Deputy Section Chief Tang. Don't worry, Director." Liu Qingshan said with a smile.

"How can I feel at ease? People from above keep urging me to deliver the goods. I'm under a lot of pressure. The new workshop has just been debugged and the workers are not yet skilled. We're going to have trial production soon. What will happen if you run away?" Director Nie said with some resentment.

"Don't worry, leader. Tang Xiaoling has been watching over it from beginning to end. She even participated in the construction and production commissioning of the factory last time. If you have any problems, just go to her directly. I will be back in about a month, and I will report to you as soon as I get back." Liu Qingshan comforted with a smile.

"Hey! Hurry up when you go to the island city this time. Don't waste time. There are a lot of things waiting for you in the factory."

"Don't worry, I will complete the work as quickly as possible and then report to you, okay!"

"Well! Let's leave it at this for now." Director Nie left the office helplessly.

"Tang Ke, I'm not here this time, so you have to take charge of the production of the new workshop. Don't blindly pursue output, but ensure safe production. If there are any problems, wait for me to come back and deal with them. The production speed of new employees will not increase all at once, so give them some time to run-in and adapt." Liu Qingshan instructed seriously.

"Don't worry, wasn't it me who did the training for these employees in the factory last time? I am familiar with it and can do it well. This is not your first business trip, I am used to it." Tang Xiaoling said calmly.

"Okay, don't worry. I've been on business trips too often." Liu Qingshan said with a smile.

"It's not a bit too much. Since we met, you have spent less than half of the time in the factory. The rest of the time you were either on business trips or on secondment. The people in the technical department of the steel rolling mill are used to it." Tang Xiaoling rolled her eyes and said.

"Are you used to it? Not really." Liu Qingshan smiled awkwardly.

"I wasn't used to it yet. Later, whenever you left, Brother Li Changhai would run to your desk and take some of your work. We would divide it among the three of us and we would be done. At that time, I joked that when Liu Qingshan pays his salary, the three of us will divide it among him like this." Tang Xiaoling joked with a smile.

"That's almost it! You're starting to worry about my salary." The two continued to communicate about some work matters.
