Comfortable life in Siheyuan

After the New Year, the second uncle retired gloriously. Liu Guangfu also returned from the countryside a few days later.

The fair-skinned young man of seventeen or eighteen years old now has dark skin and calluses on his hands.

When he walked into the courtyard, the third uncle was shocked at first.

"Wow! Who is this? How did you get into our yard? Who are you looking for?" Yan Bugui was a little surprised as he didn't recognize Liu Guangtian at first.

"Uncle! This is Guangfu. It's only been a few years and you don't recognize me." Liu Guangfu grinned and joked.

"Guangfu, you've changed so much. I wouldn't have recognized you if you hadn't told me. How's my family doing with the mine now? Is everything going well over there?"

Jie Kuang and Liu Guangfu from the third uncle's family went to the countryside together. They were both assigned to the same production team and lived together.

"Didn't Jie Kuang write to you too? He wanted to come back, but you didn't retire, and he didn't have a work target, so he couldn't come back."

Liu Guangfu disliked the third uncle a little bit. He was unwilling to give this job even to his own son.

"I will retire in a few years. After all, Yan Jiekuang is a high school graduate, so it won't be difficult for him to find a job." The third uncle argued.

"I'm going back first, Uncle. I've been walking for a long time and my mouth is dry." Liu Guangfu didn't want to chat with the old man anymore and went home directly.

Watching Liu Guangfu walking towards the backyard, the third uncle began to ponder for a moment. "What should I do with my third son? I have to treat him equally!"

With Yan Jiekuang's diploma, he can take over Third Uncle's job and become an elementary school teacher these days. It all depends on whether Third Uncle is willing to do so.

Walking into the backyard, Liu Guangfu put his bag on the ground and looked at his door, feeling a little scared.

After hesitating for a while, Liu Guangfu took a few deep breaths, picked up the bag again, and strode in!

"Mom, I'm back!" Liu Guangfu shouted when he saw that there was no one in the room.

"Is Guangfu back?" The second aunt came out from the inner room, holding her grandson in her arms. She was a little excited to see her third son.

Liu Guangfu also shed tears at this time. After all, he had suffered so much outside and finally returned home.

"Mom! Woo~" Liu Guangfu called out for his mother again, and then couldn't stop crying!

"Son, you've worked hard these past few years. Life in the countryside must be hard!" Looking at her son's dark and cracked skin, the second aunt also felt distressed.

"Why are you crying, you grown man? You just suffered a little outside. Your mother and I have suffered the same kind of hardships before. Hold back your tears!" Liu Haizhong came out from the inner room and was a little displeased to see his third son crying.

The painting by Liu Haizhong was still very effective. Liu Guangfu immediately stopped crying and stood aside obediently.

At this time, Liu Haizhong continued, "Pack your things and come with me to the factory tomorrow to report. You can get your job done earlier so that you can feel at ease. Dad will arrange the job for you, and you will have to rely on yourself from now on."

"Thank you, Dad." Liu Guangfu was a little timid. His fear of Liu Haizhong was basically engraved in his bones.

In the evening, the third uncle's son and daughter all came back. The whole family sat in the main room and set up their positions.

"You have all seen the letter from the third brother. What do you think?" The third uncle looked at the children with a scrutinizing gaze.

"Didn't the third brother say it? He will pay for this job later, and the money will be deducted from his salary." Yan Jiecheng said impatiently.

"That's right, Dad, are you afraid that the third child will deny it in the future? Call us all here to be witnesses!" Yan Jiefang guessed.

"That's not what I meant. The main thing is that I'm still a few years away from retirement. What should I do in those few years? What should I do if I have no income?" The third uncle said calmly.

"Then you have to discuss this with the third brother. We have already given you the money to buy the job, so you have nothing to do with me." Thinking about how much money his job cost, Yan Jiecheng was a little unhappy.

"What about my job? I have graduated from high school, but I still don't have a job?" Yan Jiedi jumped out to join in the fun at this time.

"You'll figure out a way to find your job later. Now the third brother is still in the countryside. Didn't you see Liu Guangfu? Look at what the kid has become after being tanned after this trip. His hands are full of calluses. He must have suffered!" The third uncle exclaimed.

After the third uncle finished speaking, the Yan family's children also glanced away, as if it had nothing to do with them.

"Jie Di, you are a girl, it will be easy for you to find a job. When I go to school, I will ask for you. See if there is anyone who has retired and can buy a quota. The rules are the same as the third brother. I will ask you for the money you should pay back for the time being, and it will be deducted from your monthly salary in the future."

"Okay, then I agree." Yan Jiedi felt relieved at this time.

Yan Jiedi happily returned to her room, Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang looked at each other and left one after another. The third uncle looked at the empty room and sighed helplessly.

The next day, Liu Guangfu followed Liu Haizhong to the factory. After going through some formalities, Liu Guangfu officially became a worker.

In the evening, the second uncle specially called a few apprentices with whom he had a good relationship to come home, asking them to take good care of Liu Guangfu in the steel rolling mill and teach him well. It would be best if he could become a regular employee as soon as possible.

After everyone left, Liu Guangtian smiled and said to the second uncle: "Dad, now Guangfu is back, and I have more children. There really isn't enough room at home. Why don't Jingru and I move out?"

"Don't worry about it. The children are still young and we have enough space in our house. What will happen to the children if you move out?" Liu Haizhong's face suddenly fell.

"Old Liu, do you want to talk to Sha Zhu and let our family rent Old Lady Long's house for Guangtian and his wife to live in? Wouldn't that be convenient?" The second aunt suddenly thought of it.

"This is a good idea, but I don't know if Shazhu is willing to do it." Liu Haizhong said.

"Then I'll go ask tomorrow!" said the second aunt.

"Why wait until tomorrow? Let's go there together later. It's just a matter of words to decide whether to rent it or not," Liu Haizhong said with a frown.

After quickly finishing their dinner, the second uncle and aunt walked towards Sha Zhu's house together. When they arrived at the door, the second aunt pushed it open directly!

"Who is it? Uncle and Aunt, why are you here? You scared me." Tian Xiuyun was afraid that Sha Zhu would say something unpleasant, so she quickly stepped forward and spoke.

"Zhu Zi, Xiu Yun, Second Aunt has something she wants to discuss with you two!" Aunt Er said with a smile on her face.

"Just tell me if you have anything to say. We are neighbors, so there's no need to be so polite." Tian Xiuyun said with a smile.

"This is what happened. Isn't Liu Guangfu back? There are more people in the family and it's a bit too crowded. I thought the old lady's house in the backyard is still empty. I plan to discuss with you two about renting it to him. It's better than leaving it idle there." said the second aunt.

"That's right. I'll give you two dollars in rent every month. Isn't this better than leaving it there and wasting it?" Liu Haizhong had just drunk some wine, and his tone of voice was not very pleasant.
