Comfortable life in Siheyuan

Early the next morning, Liu Qingshan sent the children to school.

"Xixi, on the way home from school in the evening, please keep an eye on the little brothers and don't let them run around, okay?" Feng Yu warned as he watched the children prepare to leave.

"I got it, Mom!" Xixi agreed with a smile.

As soon as Liu Qingshan left the hospital, he ran into Sha Zhu and Nan Yi. Liu Qingshan looked at the three cars of children and felt relieved. Of course, it would be better if these children didn't make noise.

When they arrived at the school gate, the children split into two groups. The older and younger ones were not in the same grade. Liu Xixi and Niu Niu were in the same class.

As soon as she stepped into the school gate, Xixi watched her father and the others walk away, turned around and threw her schoolbag to Niu Niu, then walked in front of them alone, like a big sister. Niu Niu silently took the schoolbag and followed Xixi, with a happy smile on his face.

Liu Qingshan and several others rode their bikes towards the factory.

"Liu Qingshan, your daughter is so powerful now that my son has become her little follower." Sha Zhu complained.

"That's because Niu Niu is sensible and gives in to Xixi. You know what, Niu Niu is a very well-educated child by your wife." Liu Qingshan said with a smile.

"My boy also likes to go to your house to play. Now he runs to your house as soon as he gets out of school." Nan Yi on the side said.

Liu Qingshan felt a little helpless. His little girl was almost becoming the leader among the kids.

"By the way, is there any news about your father-in-law and mother-in-law recently? I heard that the problems of these intellectuals are being dealt with urgently by the higher-ups." Liu Qingshan asked with a smile.

"No, but several uncles who went in with me have come out, and I heard that my father-in-law and mother-in-law will be here soon. By the way, Teacher Ran's parents have returned, and last time they went to the factory together to thank me." Nan Yi said.

"That's true, but it's a pity that Teacher Ran is still single at his age." Liu Qingshan said with a sneer.

"Yes, Teacher Ran is a really nice person. What a pity." Sha Zhu on the side also echoed.

A few of them chatted and laughed and then rode away.

Liu Qingshan’s current job at the factory is mainly to cooperate with professors from the Iron and Steel Institute to conduct research and production of new steel materials.

Thanks to the detailed foreign language information, the work progressed quickly and Liu Qingshan had already begun preparing for trial production.

"Qingshan, I heard that this top-blown oxygen converter in your factory was invented by you. You are really amazing!" Professor Qi said with a smile.

"That's not something I could have researched out by myself. At that time, I was called to the Shijingshan Iron and Steel Plant to carry out scientific research together. This is the result of the efforts of a group of people." Liu Qingshan said modestly.

"Come on, don't try to fool me. I have been paying attention to your affairs. You have made many achievements over the years. But do you know why you have to be involved in the research on new steel materials?" Professor Qi looked at him with a smile.

"How should I know? It was you who asked me to do this?" Liu Qingshan asked in surprise!

"You, kid, have excellent character. We have all seen it over the years at Xiangyang Farm, and it cannot be false. But after you came back, I also saw some of your work results, and I found that you have been slacking off. Have you forgotten your job and what your major is?" Professor Qi taught him a lesson bluntly.

Liu Qingshan lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly. Indeed, apart from the top-blown oxygen converter, he had not made any contribution to the steel industry over the years.

"Teacher, I..." Liu Qingshan was speechless for a moment.

"I also know a little about your situation. I asked you to participate in the research this time because I want you to continue to return to your job and make some more achievements for the country's steel industry." Professor Qi said with a smile.

"Teacher, I know I was wrong, and I will definitely correct it next time." Liu Qingshan honestly bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

"You don't have to admit your mistake to me. It's not your fault. The domestic environment has been like this in recent years. I think you've done a good job. Not everyone has the ability to earn foreign exchange for the country." Professor Qi said with a smile.

"Teacher, I understand."

After a while, the first batch of new steel was produced at the rolling mill. The professors were not afraid of the high temperature and gathered around before the temperature dropped.

In the evening, the steel mill planned to hold a small celebration party in the cafeteria, but was directly refuted by these professors and scholars.

After returning from the farm, they never complained about the injustice that happened to them, nor did they get upset.

Their only worry is that they don’t have enough time left. Some of them are old, and their bodies cannot sustain this kind of energy-demanding research.

So they cherish this hard-earned time more than anyone else.

The next day, Qin Huairu from the Intermediate Court took a day off. The whole family had breakfast early.

Today is the day that Banggeng goes to the countryside to join the production team, and Qin Huairu keeps giving Banggen instructions.

Although everyone in the yard disliked the kid Banggeng, they put aside their prejudices and said a few good words to him.

"Banggeng, work hard in the countryside and don't embarrass us Beijing men, okay?" Xu Damao happened to go out to the toilet, and saw Banggeng carrying a backpack and some things, and teased him.

At this time, several old men came over and handed over a package.

"Banggeng, this is a little gift from our hospital. It's cold in the Northeast, so here are some things to keep you warm! You can take them with you." The third uncle pushed his glasses and said with a smile.

"Hey, thank you all, gentlemen." Qin Huairu said with a smile. "Thank you." Bang Geng also thanked.

At the train station, Qin Huairu took the two girls to stand on the platform and waved to Bang Geng. As the train slowly started, Qin Huairu let out a long sigh.

In the evening, as soon as Liu Qingshan returned home, Nan Yi and his wife came over.

"Nanzhou, Nanzhou, come home for dinner." Nan Yi walked in happily.

"Let's eat here. The kids have just finished their homework and the food is ready at home." Feng Yu persuaded with a smile.

"That's right. Just look at my girl going to your house for a meal, and you don't allow Nanzhou and the others to have a meal at my house." Liu Qingshan said with a smile.

"That's because Xixi likes my cooking skills. I'm so happy. Qingshan, the matter of my parents-in-law has been settled. Qiunan and I are going to visit her parents today." Nan Yi said.

"That's a good thing. I suggest you don't go back. I'll prepare two more dishes and have a couple of drinks at my house in the evening. And you can call Zhuzi along as well." Liu Qingshan said with a smile.

"Goodbye, it's too late today. It's really not appropriate. My father-in-law and mother-in-law told me today that they would come to my house on the weekend, and the whole family would go and have some fun at my house." Nan Yi said.

"Okay, then we have to have a good drink this weekend." Liu Qingshan said happily.
