Comfortable life in Siheyuan

After leaving the subdistrict office, Liu Qingshan rode his bike to the vegetable market. He came back early today, just in time to buy some vegetables to nourish his wife.

Liu Qingshan unexpectedly saw Liu Guangtian when he just came out of the vegetable market.

"Guangtian, why are you here?" Liu Qingshan asked in surprise.

"My wife is breastfeeding. Her milk supply has been decreasing recently, so I thought of buying her something good to supplement her nutrition." Liu Guangtian said this a little shyly.

"Of course. You're a man who loves his wife. How is Jingru now? Is she in good health?" Liu Qingshan asked with a smile.

"He's in good health, but he eats a lot and lacks nutrition!"

"Did Uncle and Auntie and the others cause you any trouble?"

"No, when the child was born, I sent Jingru and her child back to Qinjiazhuang. They didn't meet her, and now they won't look for her!"

"Are you really not planning to go back?" Liu Qingshan asked.

"I don't plan to go back. I don't know how to face them. So I might as well not go back!"

Suddenly Liu Qingshan remembered the job opening at the box factory and asked Liu Guangtian, "Does Jingru have a job now? I remember he seems to be at home taking care of the kids all the time, right?"

"That's right, Jingru has a rural household registration and it's not easy for her to find a job!" Liu Guangtian didn't care. It didn't matter if his wife didn't have a job. He still had the ability to support a family of three.

"Our box factory is planning to recruit workers now. If you want Jingru to work, go to the street office and find Director Yang. Tell him that I asked you to go and he will be able to arrange it for you." Liu Qingshan thought about it and decided to help them.

"Brother, I hope it won't cause you any trouble?" Liu Guangtian instantly became happy, but still asked hesitantly.

"Don't worry, it's okay. It's not a problem for me." Liu Qingshan explained.

"Thank you so much!" Liu Guangtian pulled Liu Qingshan to a corner and said mysteriously, "Brother, now those young people are looting everywhere, and they have sold a lot of things to us junk collectors. I have several treasures in my hands now. Do you want them?"

Liu Qingshan looked around and then whispered, "Just keep the things for yourself. Don't take them out. It's not appropriate to take them out now. It might be dangerous."

"I know I don't have much money right now, so I can't charge more."

"Did your master teach you all this? Do you have a place to hide your things?"

"Don't worry about that. I've hidden it well. Besides, no one would bother me for collecting junk!"

"Okay, I still have some money here. You can help me collect some. When the money is gone, come back to me. I will give you some more money then." Liu Qingshan said as he took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket, about fifty yuan.

"Okay, then how should I give you the things when the time comes?" Liu Guangtian asked.

"I'll leave the things with you first. We'll deal with it when the money is gone. Then change your clothes into your junk collecting clothes and bring the things to the east gate of my yard!" Liu Qingshan whispered.

"Okay, I got it, bro!"

The two of them didn't talk any more and went home.

The next day, Yan Jiefang, who had nothing to do at home, was called to the street office early in the morning.

"Director Yang, you're looking for me!" Although Yan Jiefang was a little jumpy in the yard, he immediately behaved himself when he saw Director Yang.

"I heard that you are now a progressive element, a progressive youth. You follow a bunch of young people around on the streets all day long, and you don't do anything serious!" Director Yang said lightly without even raising his head.

"Director, I also want to work, but there is no opportunity. There are no classes in school now, so I will just be idle!" Yan Jiefang said helplessly.

"I do have a job quota here. If I give it to you, can you cut off your contact with those young people outside and work diligently?" Director Yang stared at Yan Jiefang with a scrutinizing look!

"Yes, yes, yes, of course I can. With a proper job, who would want to hang out outside?" Yan Jiefang immediately guaranteed.

"Don't make promises so quickly, think it over carefully! If you don't do this job well, the position will be given to others. Don't just sit there and do nothing!" Director Yang warned.

"Director, can I ask what the job is?" Yan Jiefang asked cautiously.

"The Sijiucheng Luggage Factory is now planning to expand its recruitment, and you will have to work night shifts. Aren't you afraid of the hard work?" Director Yang asked.

"The box factory, is it the one where Liu Qingshan is the deputy director of our hospital?" Yan Jiefang asked doubtfully.

"Yes, it's that factory, and it's also your hospital. Liu Qingshan reminded me that you don't have a job yet, so he asked me to ask you, their factory's recruitment quota has been given to our street office!" Director Yang did a favor for Liu Qingshan.

"Thank you, Director Yang. I will go and thank Brother Qingshan when I get home." Yan Jiefang changed his words quite quickly and called him Brother Qingshan right now.

"Okay, go back and look at it yourself. Fill out this form later and you can report to the factory in two days!" Director Yang took out a form and handed it to Yan Jiefang.

Yan Fang took the form with some excitement, picked up the pen and started filling it out, his hands trembling slightly!

"Okay, let's go back!"

"Thank you, Director Yang!" Yan Jiefang walked to the door, bowed again, and then left!

In the evening, Yan Jiefang told the matter to his uncle and aunt, and the old couple were very happy. However, they did not mention going to Liu Qingshan to express their gratitude.

A week later, the box factory recruited more than 120 people, including Qin Jingru and Yan Jiefang.

The difference is that Qin Jingru was arranged to work as a kitchen helper in the canteen. Soon the news spread to the courtyard, and when the second uncle and second aunt heard the news, they didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

"Old Liu, now that's the situation, that bastard Liu Guangtian will definitely not come back!" Second Aunt said helplessly!

"Yes! When can we see this grandson? Both of them have jobs, what about the child?" Liu Haizhong said with some concern!

"Old Liu, do you think I should go and help take care of their children?" Second Aunt said hesitantly!

"He's our grandson too. Go and see him when you have time!" In fact, what Liu Haizhong missed most was his eldest son Liu Guangqi's family. However, his eldest son lived far away and they haven't seen each other for many years. Liu Haizhong didn't want to lose this grandson again.

"Then I'll go to his place tomorrow morning and have a good chat with Guangtian and his wife. Maybe I can even see our grandson." said the second aunt.

"Don't go tomorrow morning. Wait for me to get off work tomorrow and then we'll go together." Liu Haizhong also wanted to go and take a look.

"Yes, maybe he can move back and live with us one day. We can see our grandson every day." The second aunt felt happy just thinking about it.
