Comfortable life in Siheyuan

The next morning, both of them got up late and had a quick bite. Liu Qingshan rode his bike and went to work with Feng Yu.

When you arrive at the factory, report to Section Chief Qin's office first.

"Boom! Boom!"

"Please come in!"

"Section Chief, I'm back."

"Qingshan, when did you come back?" Section Chief Qin stood up with a smile on his face.

"I arrived home yesterday afternoon. Didn't I come to report to you today?"

"Okay, okay. The machine repair factory has reported your work situation to the factory leaders. You did a great job!"

"When we go out, we will represent the factory. We can't bring shame to the factory!" Liu Qingshan said proudly.

"You kid, your wife won't complain when you go back, right? She arranged for you to go on a business trip right after we got married."

"How can that be possible? My wife is also a Party member, so she has some awareness of this."

"Okay! I won't arrange for you to go on a business trip these days. You may have to go to the textile factory in a few days. The report to borrow someone has been sent a few days ago, but you haven't come back. I have been pushing it to him. Wait a few days before going."

"The textile factory isn't that far away. I can come back every day and don't have to live there."

"You have a bicycle, that's right. Then you can go in a couple of days! Take a rest in the factory these days, we won't assign you any work."

"Okay, thank you, Chief."

After saying that, Liu Qingshan returned to the office. There was nothing to do today, and it was time to get off work in a flash.

……

Liu Qingshan picked up Feng Yu and went to the meat processing factory, where he found his sister and bought some pig offal. Then he rode his bike to Wannian Hutong.

"Mom, Dad, Qingshan and I are back."

"Hey Qingshan, Xiaoyu is back. Why do you need to bring anything when you come? We have everything we need at home."

"That's right, you don't have to buy anything, just come back and take a look."

"Hey, Dad, Mom's sister Qingshan is at the meat processing factory. Go find her and buy some pig offal. Let's have some together tonight."

"Dad, the factory gave us a bicycle ticket as a reward yesterday. I came to see if you need it. We already have a car, so it's not appropriate to buy another one."

"What kind of bicycle do we have? Xiaolei is still young, and I only walk a few steps to work, so I really don't need it."

"Yes! We don't need to buy a bicycle at home! We would feel bad if it got bumped or dented."

"Okay, Mom and Dad. I'll go clean these up then!" Liu Qingshan carried the pig out of the water and went out to the pool to deal with them.

"Qingshan, take less and bring some back to your parents." said Father Feng.

"Yes, Qingshan, I will take care of these. You and Xiaoyu go have some tea." Feng's mother also came out to help.

Push Liu Qingshan back into the house. The old couple cleaned up with a smile. The family had a happy meal. Before leaving, they put the remaining half into the water and gave it to Xiaoyu to take back to her parents-in-law's house.

After returning to the courtyard, the two of them sent the pig offal to their parents' house, and Xiaoyu went back to the courtyard to clean up. Liu Qingshan went to He Yuzhu's house.

"Brother Zhuzi, I'm eating!" Liu Qingshan greeted him as he walked in.

"Hey, Qingshan, have you eaten yet? How about eating something together?"

"No need, I've eaten at Old Taishan's, you can eat yours."

"Qingshan is here." Tian Xiuyun greeted with a smile.

"Hello, sister-in-law!"

"Qingshan, do you have something to talk to me about? If you have something to say, just tell me directly. No need to be so polite." He Yuzhu said carelessly.

"I got a bicycle ticket a few days ago, and I don't think I can use it, so I came to ask if you need it."

"You have a bicycle ticket!" Tian Xiuyun said hurriedly.

"Yes, didn't I come here to ask you?"

"We need it, we want it."

"Okay, I'll give you this ticket. If you have anything in the future, you can exchange it with me. You don't have to pay me." Liu Qingshan said.

"No, that won't work. Bicycle tickets are not cheap now. Your family is the only one in the yard that has a bicycle, so I won't give you more. I'll just give you 30 yuan. That's it." Sha Zhu said without question.

"Qingshan, you have helped us a lot. Zhuzi has always wanted to buy a car."

"Yes, Yu Shui doesn't eat well at school, so I thought of having a car so that I can send her food often in the future. I can also go out to take care of some big banquets when I'm free, and it will be convenient for me to come back in the evening with a car." He Yuzhu explained!

"Xiuyun, bring me my wine. I need a drink today."

Tian Xiuyun brought the wine over and just as she helped Sha Zhu open it, she felt nauseous.

"No, this wine must be spoiled. It makes me sick when I smell it." Tian Xiuyun said.

"No! It's not bad. I've never heard that alcohol can go bad." Sha Zhu touched his head and said.

"This sister-in-law is not pregnant! Why don't you two go to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow?"

"Okay, take this money. I won't be polite with you. Go to the cafeteria and ask for half a day off tomorrow morning. I'll go over this afternoon." Sha Zhu said to Liu Qingshan.

"Okay, then I won't be polite with you. I'll go back now."

After returning home, he gossiped with Feng Yu for a while about Tian Xiuyun's possible pregnancy, and then they rested.

Squeak, squeak~

……

The next day when I got home from work, I heard a few aunts in the yard talking about Tian Xiuyun's pregnancy.

"Silly Zhu, this is really fast!"

"That's right. It's only been more than two months."

"Xu Damao has been married for almost two years, right? It can't be that it doesn't work, right?"

"Who knows? Is it that Lou Xiao'e can't get pregnant?"

"Isn't it that the aunt in our hospital is weak and can't get pregnant?"

"It's possible that this capitalist's daughter is spoiled. How can we be sure?"

Aunt Li looked around and saw that there was no one around. She whispered, "There is one extinct family and two widows in the middle courtyard, and one extinct family in the backyard. Is there something wrong with the feng shui?"

"Bah, stop talking nonsense, isn't this silly wife pregnant?"

"Hey! I was just saying it casually. I was just kidding. I was just kidding."

The He Family of the Central Court

"Hey, wife, leave the clothes there and don't move them. I'll clean them up. You've just gotten pregnant, so make sure you get more rest."

"Why are you so delicate? In our countryside, even if you are pregnant, you still have to work in the fields!"

"The doctor said that you should rest well in the first three months and not overwork yourself. Just listen to me and take a rest!"

"Okay, then you do your work, I'll lie down for a while." Sha Zhu was so happy that his mouth was grinning from ear to ear. He was working hard. Tian Xiuyun couldn't help but feel happy when she saw his silly look.

"In a couple of days, I'll send a letter to my father-in-law and his family to tell them the good news. There's no one here to take care of them, so I won't make a special trip."

"Okay, no need to go through the trouble of making a special trip." Tian Xiuyun was also very happy.

Women in this era really rely on their children for support. Influenced by the remnant feudal ideology, the status of women is not that high. Most women can only stand up straight in their husband's family after giving birth to sons.

Lou Xiao'e was born into a capitalist family. She married a servant's son and suffered from her mother-in-law's anger even though she didn't give birth to a son. Xu Damao even fought with her last time.

An old lady who has no children will never be able to hold her head up high in her life.

Most people think that not having children is a woman’s problem, and they don’t think about whether there is a problem with the man.

In the evening, Xu Damao's family started quarreling again. Lou Xiao'e went home again in anger.

Middle Court Jia Family

"It doesn't necessarily mean she's pregnant with a son. How can a girl from the countryside have such a good fate?"

"Mom, please stop talking. It's not good if someone hears you."

"I'm not afraid of anyone hearing me. I didn't mention anyone by name, so who can tell me what to say?"

Qin Huairu was speechless. Our whole family is from the countryside, and yet you are looking down on the countryside. I really don't know where your sense of superiority comes from.

Yi Zhonghaijia

"Old Yi, let's adopt a child. We are not young anymore. If we wait any longer, we won't have the energy to take care of the child!"

"I'll go out and see if I can find a suitable one in the next few days."

"Oh, okay!" The aunt was overjoyed.

Yi Zhonghai lit a cigarette as soon as he left the house, feeling melancholy. He thought for a long time but could not come up with a conclusion.

I didn't throw away the cigarette butt until it burned my hand, then went home and went to sleep.
