Comfortable life in Siheyuan

In the cross yard, a group of workers were busy and making loud noises. After discussing some minor details with Captain Sun, Liu Qingshan also felt that it was a bit noisy and wandered to the middle yard.

Sha Zhu's house was quiet and the door was open. Liu Qingshan knocked twice and walked in.

"Qingshan, come and sit down. Do you need help from Zhuzi?" Sister-in-law Tian Xiuyun stood up, took a cup and poured some tea.

"My yard is too noisy, so I came here to chat with Brother Zhuzi." Liu Qingshan explained with a smile.

At this time, Sha Zhu heard the noise, walked over from the kitchen and sat down.

"There's quite a bit of commotion in your yard, and there are a lot of people who are jealous of you." Sha Zhu joked with a smile.

"My courtyard was already private property at that time. There's no point being jealous. I can build it however I want." Liu Qingshan didn't care. There was no need to talk so much these days. If he didn't build on this piece of land, it would be a waste.

"You are really smart. You won't have to worry about having several children in your family in the future. They will even have a place to live when they get married." Sha Zhu said with envy.

"Yes, everyone in the hospital has been talking about your house these past two days. Everyone is so envious."

Liu Qingshan also heard the noise in the yard, but he had to continue building.

"Your house is big enough for your family to live in. When the old lady gave the house to you, there were many people in the yard who were jealous." Liu Qingshan said with a smile.

Before the old lady passed away, she specially invited people from the street office. Yi Zhonghai's face turned black at that time. The couple had taken care of the old lady for many years, but in the end they got nothing.

"That's because the old lady likes me. Besides, didn't she eat the delicious food I cooked for all those years she was alive?" Sha Zhu said unconvinced.

"Yes, these people in the hospital only saw that you got the house, but didn't see your years of hard work. Whenever the old lady had any problems, it was you who took her to the hospital! You didn't want the house at that time." Liu Qingshan said with a smile.

"Well, when I married your sister-in-law, the old lady gave us a bracelet. Your sister-in-law also liked her very much, and she has been taking care of her ever since."

Sha Zhu is a sentimental person. He has been lacking family affection since He Daqing ran away. He only has his sister Yu Shui to take care of him. The old lady is one of the few people who really cares about him.

"Why haven't I seen Xu Damao these past two days? Haven't you guys fought for a long time?"

Sha Zhu's children are already grown up now, so naturally he won't make trouble with Xu Damao anymore.

"Xu Damao went to the countryside these two days. He had a screening task during this period, so he went there. He also brought the Jia family's joke with him."

"Why would Xu Damao be willing to accept Bang Geng? That guy is such an ungrateful guy." Liu Qingshan was a little surprised. Logically speaking, their relationship was not that bad.

"I'm also wondering, I guess Xu Damao is up to something bad."

Xu Damao, whom the two had just talked about, was now pushing his bicycle towards the city with Banggeng.

Xu Damao was walking leisurely in front, while Bang Geng was pushing a cart with equipment and mountain products tied to it.

"Bang Geng, you have learned almost everything about projection. I have taught you everything I should teach you. The rest depends on you to practice more. I will give you half of the projection tasks in the countryside in the future."

Xu Damao spoke with great emotion, and even Banggeng was moved after hearing it.

"Uncle Xu, from now on you will be my master. No matter in the hospital or at work, I will serve you like my dad." Bang Geng was quite open-minded and said such shameless words.

"Cough cough!" Xu Damao was choked by his saliva when he heard this.

"You don't have to be so polite."

Xu Damao thought to himself, "I don't want to be your short-lived father. Even if I want to be your father, your mother won't agree!"

Qin Huairu promised to give him five yuan a month, but she only gave him five months' salary. When she asked for more money later, she made all kinds of excuses and cried poor, and Xu Damao was tired of it.

The two chatted idly and didn't arrive at the courtyard until it was almost dark.

"Hey! Is Damao going to the countryside again? And he brought Banggeng with him?"

The third uncle was waiting at the door early in the morning, smiling like a chrysanthemum.

"Uncle is watering the flowers again. He has to water them more carefully in this hot weather." Xu Damao joked.

The third uncle's eyes never left the car, or to be more precise, the mountain products such as pheasant and bacon hanging on the handlebars.

"The conditions are better now, and the villagers are so welcoming! Come on, take the bacon back, and you go back first."

As he spoke, Xu Damao took a string of bacon from the cart and handed it to Banggeng, then pushed the cart towards the backyard.

"Da Mao, let's have a drink tonight. Uncle San has a bottle of good wine."

The third uncle Yan Bugui was somewhat unwilling and still wanted to fight for it.

"Uncle, let's forget about it today. I have to go to the unit to hand in the machinery and equipment later." Xu Damao walked towards the backyard without looking back.

Liu Qingshan and Sha Zhu heard the conversation between the people at the door just now. They also saw Banggeng carrying a piece of bacon and walking happily towards home.

"What's going on? Are these two good friends like one another?" Sha Zhu was also a little puzzled.

"I don't know what evil he is up to. Xu Damao never does anything that is not beneficial." Liu Qingshan vaguely remembered that Banggeng didn't seem to work in the cinema for long!

As the two were talking, someone next door shouted, "Bang Geng, where did you get the bacon? It's such a big piece."

Qin Huairu cried out in surprise. Although her family was not so short of food, they had never bought such a large piece of bacon.

"When I went to the countryside to show movies, my fellow villagers gave me a lot of things. This was given to me by Xu Damao. He also had pheasants and mushrooms." When Banggeng said this, his eyes were full of envy.

"Is it so profitable to show movies? I always saw Xu Damao having a good time, but I didn't know he was so well off! Great! If you can show movies by yourself in the future, will you have these things too?"

When Jia Zhang heard the voice, she limped out and said happily.

"That's right. As long as I can go to the countryside alone, good days will come for our family. We won't have to worry about eating meat anymore."

"Go call your two sisters back later, and steam some bacon in the evening for them to try." Qin Huairu said.

When Jia Zhang heard Qin Huairu's words, she looked reluctant. The bacon was quite a lot, but if it was shared by several people, it wouldn't be much.

Qin Huairu happily took the meat into the kitchen. When she saw Sha Zhu and Liu Qingshan sitting at the door, she raised her hands proudly.

"Hey! What does she mean? She's showing off to me." Sha Zhu turned his head and looked at Liu Qingshan in surprise.

"She's not doing it for you, she's also doing it for me. Don't be envious of others just because they can have a meal of meat." Liu Qingshan patted Sha Zhu's shoulder and teased with a smile.

"That's right. It's not easy for them to have a good meal of meat. We shouldn't be envious."

The two looked at each other and laughed.
