Comfortable life in Siheyuan

From then on, Nan Yi would go to the farm whenever he had free time, basically twice a month, and sometimes Ran Qiuye would go with him. In this way, Nan Yi became familiar with the rebels on the farm.

Thanks to the good food and drink, Qiu Nan's parents did not face any difficulties. Even the intellectuals working on the farm did not face too many difficulties.

Liu Qingshan would also come along when he was free, sometimes bringing gifts for the teacher and his wife, and sometimes bringing some good wine to the farm leaders.

Winter passed and spring came, time went by in a flash, and in the blink of an eye it was the year 1972. Jia Geng from the Jia family and Yi Xiaojun from the Yi Zhonghai family both had to go to the countryside.

Jie Kuang from the Yan family and Liu Guangfu from the second uncle's family had already gone to the countryside two years ago.

This time it was the Jia family's turn to have a headache. Although Yi Xiaojun had been notified to go to the countryside, adopted only children basically did not have to go to the countryside as long as the family applied.

"Banggeng, Xiaodang, someone from the Youth League Office just came to inform you that one of you two must go to the countryside. Mom wants to hear what you think!" Qin Huairu looked at the two children, and was a little undecided for a moment.

"Mom, my brother is the only male in the family. I'd better go to the countryside. If he starts a family there, he may never come back in this lifetime." What Xiaodang said made sense. Besides, Banggeng, as the older brother, was always good to his two younger sisters, no matter how bad he was doing.

Qin Huairu was also moved after hearing Xiaodang's words.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm your brother, how could I let a grown-up girl go to the countryside? I'd better go to the countryside. There is a vast world with great things to do there. I believe I can do it well!" Bang Geng said confidently.

Looking at the childish Bang Geng, Qin Huairu was also somewhat relieved! This child has been with Jia Zhang for several years and has been spoiled. But after Jia Zhang was sent away, he gradually calmed down. Although there is no hope for him to study, at least he still has to grow up.

"Banggeng, you have grown up now and know how to feel sorry for your sister, but have you really thought about going to the countryside? Don't regret it later." Qin Huairu asked seriously.

"Mom, I won't regret it, don't worry." Bang Geng promised loudly!

"Okay, that's what a brother should do!"

In the backyard, at Liu Qingshan's house, Feng Yu was taking care of the family and preparing to eat!

"Nannan, it's almost time for dinner. Where is your sister?" Feng Yu asked his eldest son as he looked at his younger siblings playing in the yard.

"I don't know. He's been out for a while!" A little boy of seven or eight years old answered in confusion.

"Mom, I know, I know. He went to Uncle He's house while you were cooking. He must have eaten by now!" The second son, Little Haozi, complained.

"Your eldest sister is becoming more and more greedy. Sooner or later, this girl will be abducted back home by that bastard from the He family." Feng Yu was so angry that he laughed.

At Sha Zhu's house in the Central Courtyard, Xixi was sitting next to Tian Xiuyun, concentrating on eating delicious food.

"Girl, the food your Uncle He cooks is delicious, right?" Actually, today is not a special day, but the chef Sha Zhu can make home-cooked meals especially delicious.

"Hmm, hmm!" With food still in his mouth, he spoke incoherently.

"Eat slowly, kid. Don't choke!" Sha Zhu said quickly.

Finally, she swallowed a mouthful of rice, and Niu Niu beside her handed her a glass of water.

"Uncle He, it's not that I'm greedy, it's just that the food you cooked is so delicious. Besides, my mom is cooking at home today, and I don't want to suffer." Xixi complained.

"What's wrong with me cooking? How can I say that I'm sorry to you? I was wondering why you disappeared and ran to Uncle He's house as soon as it was time for dinner." Feng Yu happened to come over.

Xixi looked at her mother coming over, but she was not afraid. Instead, she said confidently, "Niuniu asked me to come over for dinner. If you don't believe me, ask him!"

"What Niu Niu, you'll call me brother all day long and have no manners at all."

"Auntie, it's okay. Xixi and I grew up together." The nickname Niu Niu was indeed right. He has a chubby face and looks strong!

"Did your Qingshan leave with Nan Yi again today?" Sha Zhu asked with a smile.

"Yes, they left early in the morning. It just so happened that my parents-in-law went to my eldest brother's house today. I had to take care of these children by myself, and it was very tiring for me the whole morning!" Feng Yu explained.

"That's not easy. These kids in my family are already giving me enough of a headache." Tian Xiuyun agreed with a smile.

"Brother Zhuzi, your sister-in-law is sorry to trouble you. Xixi, just eat here. Mom has gone back first. Your brothers and sisters at home haven't eaten yet. Remember to help clean up after you finish eating." Feng Yu said to Xixi.

"I know, Mom!" Xixi stuck out her tongue and said playfully.

On the other side, Liu Qingshan and Nan Yi were already sitting in the farm cafeteria.

Liu Qingshan was a little excited thinking that the teachers would be able to go back this afternoon.

"Qingshan, why did your teachers go back today? Teachers from other schools didn't go back either." Nan Yi asked puzzledly.

"I don't know the situation now, maybe it's due to work requirements." Liu Qingshan was not sure either!

However, in the past two years, the country's demand for steel has been growing, and the G Committee of the steel mill has settled down. It has begun to seriously focus on production capacity and efficiency, and some technical backbones who were previously dealt with have returned to their original positions!

"I don't know when my father-in-law and mother-in-law will be able to come home. In the past few years, I have been going to the farm whenever I have time. My legs have become thin from running around!" Nan Yi complained in a low voice.

"You said that, be careful or I'll tell Qiunan later." Liu Qingshan joked with a smile.

"You are such a wicked person. I am here to vent my complaints to you. You are even exaggerating! This place is really too far away. I have to wait for two days every time I go back and forth!" Nan Yi said helplessly.

"Who said it wasn't? But I won't accompany you here in the future. You have to endure it by yourself!" Liu Qingshan said with a smile.

"Yes, Teacher Ran hasn't been here for a long time. Today his parents asked me about the situation, and I didn't know what to say." Nan Yi said.

"I'll go back and ask the third uncle today. It's not easy for her as a girl." Liu Qingshan said with emotion.

"I'm not young anymore. Under the current circumstances, there's no hope of getting married." Nan Yi said.

Liu Qingshan and Nan Yi ate and talked, and before they knew it, it was already afternoon. The teachers left the farm one after another and got on the bus back to the city.

Liu Qingshan helped carry the luggage and sent the teachers to the car. He watched the car go farther and farther away, feeling both reluctant and relieved.

"Now you can rest assured. You don't have to run back and forth like this anymore." Nan Yi patted Liu Qingshan on the shoulder.

Liu Qingshan nodded, "Yes, it can be regarded as a relief."

Nan Yi smiled and said, "Don't forget to ask Uncle San about Teacher Ran when you go back, so that I can pass on the message to his parents later."

After packing up their stuff, the two men got on their bikes and set off back to Beijing.
