Comfortable life in Siheyuan

After working for more than a week, Liu Qingshan's work has entered the final stage.

On this day, Liu Qingshan was debugging the repaired equipment.

I also saw another main character of the show, Liang Ladi. Although Liang Ladi looked young and pretty, her skin was obviously sallow and her hair was dry. It's not easy to be a single mother!

This is a strong person, a female welder, whose work level is higher than most men and who can support four children. She is truly worthy of admiration.

Back in the infirmary, Liu Qingshan found that Ding Qiunan was different. She smiled more often.

"Doctor Ding, if you have anything happy to say, tell us and we can be happy together!"

"Hello, Mr. Liu!" He greeted her with a smile. "I've figured it out. I'll make the best of it. I can't go to university, but I can still study. I went to the city yesterday and got a library card. It's pretty good now."

"It's great that you think this way. In fact, think about our country from another perspective. How many girls in our country get married without going to school? How many girls are good at studying but are forced to get married by their families because their families don't let them finish their education? You're already luckier than 9% of people for being able to successfully finish technical secondary school."

"Yes! I understand, thank you!"

"Don't keep thanking me. You're not a child anymore. Hurry up and find someone to marry. Otherwise, you'll attract lots of other people."

"none of your business!"

"You are down-to-earth and live in the present. Look at this young man, isn't he good?" Liu Qingshan said, pointing at Nan Yi who was looking over!

"Oh, how can you talk like that? I don't like a cook."

"The cook is one of the eight members. Why do you look down on him? A man who can cook, you don't have to go into the kitchen anymore. Just enjoy yourself! You are ignorant!"

Nan Yi saw Liu Qingshan pointing at him and ran over immediately.

"Mr. Liu, you're looking for me."

"Let me ask you, Ding Qiunan said she would never go into the kitchen in her life, can you help him cook?"

"I didn't, I didn't! You're talking nonsense." Ding Qiunan explained quickly, looking anxious.

"No problem, that's definitely no problem. She won't have to wash the dishes anymore from now on." Nan Yi said excitedly.

"Okay, you two can chat on yourselves. I have to go back early. I just got married and I'm on a business trip. Enough."

After saying that, Liu Qingshan picked up his bag and walked towards the factory office.

Arrived at the factory director's office.

"Boom! Boom!"

"Director Liu, the work is done. Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission. I will go back first. Please contact me if you need anything in the future!"

"We can leave after lunch. It won't take a while longer."

"Okay, I'll listen to you. But you can't drink."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements."

...

At Liu Qingshan's repeated request, they had a simple lunch at noon. After the meal, several people sat at the table.

"Mr. Liu, I never thought that they would be able to work one day. If you hadn't come, they would have been left there to rust. I won't say much to thank you. I'll give you this bicycle ticket as a token of our gratitude!" Factory Director Liu Feng took out a bicycle ticket and slapped it heavily in Liu Qingshan's hand.

"Thank you so much, Director Liu. If you need any help in the future, just let the head office know and I will be there. And you guys, if you don't understand anything, you can come to me at any time. During this period, you should also organize the parts drawings that I asked you to draw." Liu Qingshan said to several technicians!

"Thank you, teacher!" x3! Several people were still very grateful for Liu Qingshan's generous teaching, and expressed their sincere gratitude!

"You can also write to me if you have any questions."

"Okay, brother units should help each other."

"Yes, it's all as it should be."

……

After a round of greetings, we finally got on the bus and headed home, feeling a little excited. On the way, we met a few fishermen and exchanged two more fish.

It was still early when we arrived at the courtyard. Wife, my parents hadn't finished get off work yet and hadn't come home yet.

"Hey, Qingshan is back. He's been out for quite a while this time! Wow, such a big fish. Qingshan, how about Third Auntie trade some with you?" Third Auntie said while standing at the door!

"Hey, Third Aunt, you're back. There are only two fish, and you have to send one to my father-in-law's house, so I won't exchange it." Liu Qingshan responded and walked inside.

"People are really capable. Look at her. In the past six months, she got a permanent job, got married, and her salary increased several times." The third aunt said to the aunts sitting next to her!

"He is good at studying, and he is even better at working. I heard that his superiors praised him." said an aunt nearby.

"His wife is also a clerk. They are the ones who have the best life in this compound!"

"Oh, by the way. Jia Zhang from the Central Courtyard has looked thinner and her complexion has turned pale recently."

"Without Shazhu's support, wouldn't the children in their family become thinner? They cry for food in the yard every day. It's painful to hear them."

"Hey, you said that idiot Zhu used to..." Several middle-aged ladies gathered together and the topic suddenly changed to another topic.

Entering the middle courtyard, Liu Qingshan was shocked to see Jia Zhangshi's appearance. How come this old woman has lost so much weight? How long have I been away?

"Hey, Qingshan is back." Jia Zhang greeted him with a smile, her eyes fixed on the fish in Liu Qingshan's hand, almost unable to pull it out.

"Oh, why has Aunt Jia lost weight? Is she sick?"

"No, no, I just didn't eat well and sleep well these days."

"Take care of yourself, Aunt Jia."

"Qingshan, this fish..." Before Liu Qingshan finished speaking, he walked into the backyard.

My goodness, this is because of hunger. Fortunately, I ran fast. Qin Huairu couldn't suck the silly pillar anymore. Didn't Yi Zhonghai give her corn flour? Or the Jia family is not used to eating corn flour. Still thinking about my fish, dreaming!

When I got home, I went straight to the yard, kept the fish in the kitchen, and took out all the clothes in my bag and put them in the basin to soak.

I looked around and there was nothing to do. My wife had kept the house clean.

He locked the door, picked up a fish, went straight out of the courtyard through the east gate, and went to Wannian Hutong.

...

Arrived at my father-in-law’s house.

"Mom, are you home alone?"

"Well, Xiaolei has started school, and your dad has gone to work."

"Mom, I just came back from a business trip. I exchanged two fish with a fellow villager on the way. We each get one."

"No, no, keep it for yourself. You're welcome, Mom."

"Mom, you're welcome. We have them all. The one we have is this big too. It's enough for you to eat."

"I'll go and help you take care of it. You can cook it when dad comes back."

"Don't try to steal your fish. Put the fish in the basin first. Your father will come back tonight to prepare it. You won't be able to eat much. The rest needs to be pickled. Otherwise, it won't keep well."

"Fine!"

Liu Qingshan worked for his mother-in-law at his father-in-law's house for half a day. Seeing that it was almost time, he went to the post office to pick up his wife after get off work.

Liu Qingshan missed Xiaoyu very much after not seeing her for more than a week.

"Xiaoyu, here."

"Ah! Qingshan, you're back!"

"Well, wife, I miss you." Liu Qingshan said close to Feng Yu's ear.

"Yeah, I think so too." Feng Yu hummed like a mosquito.

"Come on, let's go home!"

"it is good."

"I came back with two fish, and I just sent one to your parents at noon. We'll go home and eat fish in the evening."

"okay!"

After dinner in the evening, Liu Qingshan took out the bicycle ticket awarded by Director Liu.

"Dad, why don't we buy another car? This one is for you to ride, and Xiaoyu and I will buy another one."

"No need. One car is enough for a family. It would be a waste to buy one. I live not far away." said Liu's father.

"Yes Qingshan, my parents' workplace is not far away. No one in the yard has a bicycle, and we have two. It's too conspicuous. It will easily lead to gossip." Liu's mother also said.

"Okay then! What should we do with the ticket? We can't just go to the Pigeon Market to sell it!" Liu Qingshan said.

"Ask your father-in-law tomorrow if his family needs anything. If they do, give it to them. If not, ask who in the yard needs it," said Father Liu.

"Okay. I'll go back with Xiaoyu after get off work tomorrow."

After dinner, the couple returned to their room.

At night, the old wooden bed endured the pain he deserved, and the creaking sound continued.
