Comfortable life in Siheyuan

The news that Xixi was admitted to Peking University soon spread, and the leaders of the steel rolling mill and the box factory also came to share in the joy and drink a glass of wedding wine.

Liu Qingshan thought about it for a while and was immediately shocked. These ten tables could not accommodate everyone. It seemed that he had to discuss it with Zhuzi and Nan Yi in advance.

Niu Niu's results came out. Although he did well, he still had a long way to go to university. Sha Zhu and his family looked at Niu Niu's report card. Although they were a little disappointed, they also felt relieved. After all, there would be opportunities later, and the gap was not too far.

The scores of several other people were also checked. Although they had improved, they were not admitted.

At night, at the Liu family dinner table, Liu Qingshan looked at Feng Yu and said, "Is there any news about Dongdong? This kid has quit his job. How did he do in the exam this year? I'm so worried."

"There's still no news. I've told my colleagues at the post office over there, and asked them to let us know if they see Dongdong's admission letter. There's still no news." Feng Yu was also very anxious, but it was not easy for him to ask directly.

"The scores seem pretty good. He should be able to pass the exam, right?" Father Liu said, rubbing his hands.

A few days later, Feng Yu came back from get off work with a smile on his face, and started shouting as soon as he entered the door.

"Mom and Dad, Dongdong's letter of admission has arrived. Dongdong's letter of admission has arrived." Feng Yu also breathed a sigh of relief. This nephew was really courageous. The family found such a good job for him, but he just refused it.

"Really? That's great. Wait for Qingshan to get home from get off work in the evening and you two can go together. We have to celebrate this properly." Liu's mother said to Liu's father.

"Okay, we have to go. This is a happy thing."

When Liu's father and son arrived at the second sister's house in the evening, it was already dark, but the second sister's house was brightly lit.

"Dad, Qingshan, why are you here?"

"Grandpa, uncle, I was admitted to university and medical school." Dongdong was still excited and was hugging people.

"Dad, why are you here? I was thinking of going to the courtyard with Dongdong tomorrow to tell you the good news." Sister pulled Liu's father and sat down. Her face was still full of excitement.

"Xiaoyu has already informed your postman. Tell her once there is a notification for Dongdong. She received the news when she was at work today. If Dad hadn't been waiting for me to get off work, he would have come here a long time ago." Liu Qingshan explained with a smile.

"This aunt is not in vain. She really loves her nephew. I must go and thank her later." My sister joked with a smile.

"I plan to hold a banquet for Xixi in the courtyard in a few days. When will you hold it?" Liu Qingshan asked.

"Of course we have to do it. This is a big happy event. In the past, it would be like being named a successful candidate in the imperial examination. You all should come when the time comes." The brother-in-law, who was talking to someone in the inner room, suddenly said.

Then he came over and said, "Dad, Qingshan, the house is a bit messy. I'm really happy today. Let's do it separately so that neither of us will be delayed."

My brother-in-law didn't drink, but he looked like he was drunk.

"My dear relatives, Qingshan, you guys are the main reason why my eldest grandson got admitted to the university. We should thank Qingshan for his tutoring during this period." Dongdong's grandfather really drank, and he drank a lot.

"Dear neighbors, this is Dongdong's uncle, he is also a college student. He was a college student in the 1960s. He was the only one in his neighborhood who was admitted to college that year. It was amazing."

"No, they're all the same! All the same! Dongdong is a really smart kid." Liu Qingshan looked at the eyes around him and felt a little uncomfortable just standing there.

It’s no wonder that he has to go to school. Which leader would be so thin-skinned?

In the evening, I had dinner at my brother-in-law's house. When I got home, the children were already asleep.

In mid-August, taking advantage of the weekend, Liu Qingshan set up a banquet in the yard.

The neighbors in the courtyard sat at five or six tables. This was because many young people had moved out of the courtyard, otherwise there would not be enough for ten tables.

Two tables came from the steel rolling mill, two tables came from the box factory. Even the street office came. Director Yang and his family came.

Director Lin of the textile factory had originally come alone. When Liu Qingshan went to invite him that day, he ran into Yu Shui, so Yu Shui and his family also came.

Liu Qingshan’s colleagues and leaders from the university also came, and it took two tables to accommodate them all.

Liu Qingshan's family originally sat at three tables, but now the children no longer need to sit there, and all the seats have been given to the guests.

Nan Yi and Sha Zhu are the chefs, and each of them has an apprentice.

Today, not only his cross-yard was filled with tables, but also the backyard was filled with tables, so the kitchen had to be placed in the middle yard.

There are sixteen tables in total, and it takes two or three people just to serve the dishes.

Liu Qingshan went to the kitchen with a glass of wine and said hello to Sha Zhu and Nan Yi.

"Leave some food for dinner, and we can have a few drinks alone. We've been neglectful today, and we'll meet again later." Liu Qingshan originally wanted to ask someone else to cook, and let Nan Yi and Zhuzi sit at the table, but these two people disagreed. As a result, the people sitting at the table are all female generals.

"Come on, stop talking nonsense. With so many tables down today, you're still standing. I admire you." Sha Zhu attacked unceremoniously.

"You don't believe in my alcohol tolerance, so don't run away when the time comes."

"Go and do your own thing. You don't have to worry about this place." Nan Yi said.

"Next year or the year after, I will go to your house to have a No. 1 Scholar feast. I will make you all drink till you drop."

"Okay, we'll all wait." Sha Zhu and Nan Yi said with a smile.

Back in the backyard, Liu Qingshan toasted everyone with a glass of wine and said a few words of thanks, and then the banquet began.

Before we had even taken a few bites of the food, people at each table started toasting each other.

After a round of toasts, Liu Qingshan had swallowed half a pound of liquor, and this was just the beginning.

Only Feng Yu could help him recall how to drink next.

The group of people at the steel rolling mill had one cup each, and several factory leaders held on to their cups and refused to let go, drinking several more cups.

The situation at the box factory was not much better. By the time Liu Qingshan walked in front of this group of university professors, he could no longer stand steadily.

"Qingshan, you don't have to worry about us, we can just drink it ourselves. Go eat a few bites of food, otherwise your stomach will feel uncomfortable. Wipe your face with a wet towel."

"I'd like to apologize to all the teachers on behalf of Qingshan. He was so happy today that he drank too much. I'll take him to rest for a while first." Feng Yu greeted everyone with a smile, then helped Liu Qingshan into the house.

Feng Yu helped Liu Qingshan into the house and let him lie on the bed to rest. Although Liu Qingshan was a little fuzzy, he was still thinking about the guests outside.

After a while, Liu Qingshan forced himself to get up and said to Feng Yu, "Wife, wipe my face. Don't let me fall asleep. The show will be over soon and I have to go and see them off."

"Okay, I'll go get you some sobering soup." This sobering soup was prepared by Ding Qiunan. Feng Yu had anticipated today's situation and prepared it early.

Feng Yu looked at Liu Qingshan with concern and quickly took a wet towel to wipe his face. Liu Qingshan felt a little more awake, so he forced himself to sit up again.

"Wife, I'm fine, just a little dizzy. Go and see what's going on outside." Liu Qingshan said, holding Feng Yu's hand.

Feng Yu nodded, went out for a walk, and came back to tell Liu Qingshan that the guests had almost finished eating and were chatting.

Liu Qingshan finally breathed a sigh of relief and rested on the bed for a while. After a while, he heard the sound of tables and chairs moving outside, and knew that the banquet was about to end.

"I'll go see them off." Liu Qingshan struggled to get out of bed, and Feng Yu quickly supported him.

Liu Qingshan came to the yard and said goodbye to the guests one by one. Everyone congratulated him and praised him for raising such an excellent daughter.

Liu Qingshan had just vomited twice and was somewhat sober now. He accompanied Sha Zhu and Nan Yi and ate something before going back to rest.
