Comfortable life in Siheyuan

In addition to teaching at school, Liu Qingshan also does more research on special steel. With the research data he brought back last time, the country now has a solid foundation for special steel.

As one of the first units to participate in the research and development, the Iron and Steel Institute now has a leading position in the steel industry. If Liu Qingshan continues to develop step by step, he will definitely be a big shot in the industry in the future.

Liu Qingshan is not only proficient in the research of special steels, but also has in-depth knowledge of various large-scale industrial equipment.

The current teaching task is just the basics. He spends most of his time every day doing his own research. Although the laboratory is a little simple, Liu Qingshan's work progress is not slow at all. He is currently conducting further research on the corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance of titanium alloys.

In the evening, Liu Qingshan returned to the courtyard after get off work and was unexpectedly able to find that Liu Haizhong's house was very lively.

The youngest son, Liu Guangfu, came back with his wife and children. After Liu Guangfu took over Liu Haizhong's class, he got married and moved out soon. Perhaps due to the trauma of his childhood, he rarely came back after getting married, and people in the courtyard kept saying that he had become a live-in son-in-law.

Although he didn't know the specific situation, Liu Qingshan thought it was the truth. Why did Liu Guangfu come back suddenly this time?

Liu Qingshan walked into the house with some doubts, and when he saw Liu's father sitting in the living room, he asked, as he really couldn't keep the secret in his heart.

"A few days ago, Old Liu bought two houses in the yard next to ours. He originally thought that his grandchildren were all grown up and his family really couldn't live in the house more. Who would have thought that Liu Guangfu got the news from somewhere and came back today with a lot of gifts," Liu's father joked with a smile.

"Wow! They also bought a house?" Liu Qingshan didn't expect that Liu Guangtian was so smart and took action so quickly.

"I have to buy one. Qin Jingru is so fertile. With this baby in her belly, she already has five children. There is really not enough space at home."

Qin Jingru has given birth to three boys and one girl for the Liu family. But it is somewhat unexpected that Liu Haizhong loves this little granddaughter the most.

I don’t know if it’s because the eldest brother is heartbroken, but now he treats this granddaughter very dearly.

"If there's no quarrel when Guangfu comes back, Liu Guangtian will never give the house to him, right?" Liu Qingshan said.

"It hasn't even started yet. Aren't they still acting like a loving father and a filial son? It's not time to fall out yet." Father Liu said with a smile.

"How do you know about his purchase of a house? Why haven't I heard about it?"

"The house was bought two days ago, and no one in the yard knew about it. It was only today when Liu Guangtian went to clean up the house that the neighbors heard about it."

It seems that if Liu Guangfu doesn't come back tonight, Guangtian's family might move in today. At most, the two older grandchildren will stay with the second uncle.

Liu's mother had already heated up the food and brought it to Liu Qingshan. Before Liu Qingshan had taken two bites, the room opposite had become lively.

The atmosphere in Liu Haizhong's room was lively, but it was full of hypocrisy.

"Dad, I had a quarrel with my father-in-law yesterday, and he kicked us out. I have no place to live from now on!"

After a long period of pleasantries, Liu Guangfu finally revealed his true intentions.

"Guangfu, you're putting me in a difficult position! It's not appropriate for you, a live-in son-in-law, to come back and say these things." Liu Haizhong said calmly.

"Dad, I don't want to be a son-in-law. I can't hold my head up anywhere. But what can I do? My second brother's family lives at home, and we don't even have a place to live." Liu Guangfu complained.

"If you have no place to live, just rent a house. Haven't you already stopped considering yourself a member of the Liu family?" Liu Haizhong said contemptuously.

"Dad, how could you miss me so much? My eldest brother is far away, but I have always wanted to take care of you in your old age with my second brother."

Liu Guangtian looked at his younger brother quietly, and he felt a little strange in his heart. It had only been a short time since he last saw him, how come he didn't recognize him at all? In the past, when they were beaten together, they had a very good relationship.

"You can stay at home for the night. In a couple of days, ask your second brother to help you find a house. You all have jobs, so renting a house shouldn't be difficult." Liu Haizhong really didn't think much of his youngest son, who had been a coward since childhood.

Liu Guangfu wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Liu Haizhong, "Okay, stop talking and eat."

After dinner, Liu Guangtian and Qin Jingru went to the newly bought house to continue cleaning. Fortunately, the house had the basic facilities of a bed and a table. They stayed there with the children that night.

After the children fell asleep, Qin Jingru looked at Liu Guangtian with a worried look on her face and asked in a low voice: "What does your brother mean by this? Does he want to come back and snatch the house from us?"

Liu Guangtian looked at the unfamiliar roof and laughed, "He can't take this house away from us. Although our father bought it for us to live in, I know what he was thinking."

"Hasn't your father been doing well these years? What else is he thinking?" Qin Jingru was a little confused for a moment and asked doubtfully.

"My dad secretly sent a letter to the eldest brother these two days. I guess he still wants him to come back!" Liu Guangtian said disdainfully.

"It's not easy to come back from supporting the Third Front. We have all settled down there, and we can't come back without spending a lot of money." Qin Jingru is no longer the country girl she used to be. Now she knows a lot about what's happening in the city.

"This house will not be ours in the future, so we should make plans early. We have been living at home all these years, and the expenses are not high. We have saved a lot of money. Why don't we buy an apartment?" Liu Guangtian suddenly had an idea. Thinking of Liu Qingshan's purchase of a house, he felt that following Liu Qingshan would be the right thing to do.

"The family's expenses have not been high in recent years, but your expenses are not small either. You often collect those junk, which costs a lot of money. You still have to pay rent for that house in the suburbs every month." Qin Jingru said helplessly.

"All the money in the family is with you. How much money do you have now?" Liu Guangtian looked at Qin Jingru. His wife always kept a close eye on money. Liu Qingshan was also confident in handing the money to her, knowing that she would not spend it recklessly.

"There's still over fourteen hundred left. If you want to buy a house like this, that's enough."

"I want to buy a smaller courtyard house or a small yard. The ones here are too expensive. If that doesn't work, let's go to the suburbs to buy one. It's just right to be far away from my two brothers." Liu Guangtian really didn't have a good impression of the two brothers.

"What about my parents?" Qin Jingru was very grateful to the old couple. They had been helping them share the responsibility of taking care of the children over the years, saving them a lot of trouble. Also, since they moved in, they had not been too stingy when it came to food and drink.

"We'll talk about it when the time comes. It's still unclear whether they want us to take care of them in their old age. It's not our turn to worry about it. Now I'm thinking about how to get some money back, otherwise it won't be enough to buy a house."

After Liu Guangtian saw Liu Qingshan’s house, he felt itchy and began to have ideas.

"If not, just sell those junk, then you can get some money back, right?" Qin Jingru said nonchalantly. She still couldn't understand what was good about those junk.

After hearing what Qin Jingru said, Liu Guangtian's eyes lit up!
