Comfortable life in Siheyuan

After Liu Guangtian moved to the next yard, Liu Guangfu shamelessly moved in.

After a few days, Liu Guangtian's children couldn't stand it anymore and moved to the next door. As a result, Liu Haizhong's face looked visibly worse.

"Guangfu, how is the house that Guangtian took you to see these two days?" Liu Haizhong asked.

"Dad, our salary is just this little. The rent of those houses is too expensive. My family can't afford it." Liu Guangfu said with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Don't play tricks on me. All your little clever tricks are just what I have left." After saying that, Liu Haizhong didn't even look at him again and turned and went into the house.

The Iron and Steel Institute where Liu Qingshan works now is quite far from his home, and it takes him a long time to ride his bike back every day.

It was already dark when I got home today. I had just taken a few bites of food when Liu Guangtian and his wife came and knocked on the door.

"Guangtian, Jingru, why are you here? Aren't you living in the next yard now?" Liu Qingshan asked in surprise while eating alone.

"Brother Qingshan, you get off work very late. It must be more tiring to work now than before!" Liu Guangtian joked with a smile.

"Not really, it's mainly because it's a bit far away."

"Brother Qingshan, my wife and I have something we would like to ask you for help with." Jingru was a straightforward person and quickly got to the point.

"What's the matter? Tell me what's going on!" Liu Qingshan put down his chopsticks and looked at the two of them seriously.

"Brother Qingshan, my wife and I also want to buy a house. Do you think we can buy a courtyard house? We won't lose money in the future, right?" Qin Jingru asked directly.

"It's hard to say whether it's a loss or a profit, but your family does need a house. You two have many children, and a small courtyard house will provide them with enough space to live in in the future. Moreover, every family has several children now, and when the children get married in the future, houses will definitely be in short supply." Liu Qingshan said with a smile.

"So, buying a house will definitely not be a bad deal." Qin Jingru said to Liu Guangtian.

"Why do you care whether it's a loss or not? If we don't buy a house, where will our three sons live when they get married? You can't be like my brother Guangfu and marry into the family!" Liu Guangtian gave Qin Jingru a reproachful look.

Turning his head, he continued to say to Liu Qingshan: "Brother Qingshan, I have also noticed some houses recently. The smallest one costs five or six thousand yuan. I only have more than 1000 yuan, which is far from enough. I thought, I will sell some of the things I have to you, and you can decide the price!"

"There's such a big gap!" Liu Qingshan was also frightened by Guangtian's courage. He dared to make a move when the gap was so big.

"Brother, all the money I have in recent years has been spent on hoarding those things. This weekend, if you have time, come with me and see if there is anything you like!" Liu Guangtian was still confident. A large part of the antiques in his hands were collected as scrap, so he should be able to exchange them for a house.

"Okay, come see me in two days' weekend. I'll go with you, and if there are suitable houses, I'll help you look around, and look at more." Liu Qingshan also had some thoughts here. No one would complain about having too many courtyard houses, and besides, his eldest brother and brother-in-law also wanted to buy one.

"Okay, brother, then you take your time eating. We will go back first."

"Goodbye, Brother Qingshan!" Qin Jingru said politely.

Watching Liu Guangtian and his wife walk out the door and head straight towards the front yard, Liu Qingshan started eating again.

"Why haven't you finished eating yet? I was about to come over to clean up the dishes." Liu's mother walked in with a look of surprise on her face and asked with some confusion.

"Just now, Guang Tian and his wife came to see me for something, so I only have two bites left. Don't bother, I can clean it up myself." Liu Qingshan quickened his pace and finished the rest.

"Then you take your time to clean up. I'll go wash the clothes."

Not long after Liu's mother left, two more people came in at the door.

"Is Qingshan at home?" Qin Huairu's voice came from the door. Liu Qingshan was washing dishes at that time. He stretched his head out and saw who was coming clearly.

"It's Sister Qin. Please sit inside for a while. I'll be there soon." Liu Qingshan said with a smile while keeping his hands moving.

"Oh! Our great scholar is washing the dishes himself? Let me do it." Qin Huairu saw what Liu Qingshan was doing, rolled up her sleeves and walked over.

"Don't bother, it's just two bowls, I've washed them both. Let's talk in the room if you have anything to say." When Liu Qingshan saw Bang Geng behind Qin Huairu, he knew what was going on. This was most likely for Bang Geng's work.

Several people sat down at the table, and Feng Yu also came over with the little girl.

"Your girl is looking for you!"

"Sister Qin has something to talk to me about. Please take her back to the house first. I'll be there in a moment."

Feng Yu was not stupid. She understood the situation and just wanted to help her husband with a pick and roll.

"Then Sister Qin, you guys take your time chatting. I'll go back to my room first." Feng Yu said as he carried the little girl back to the inner room.

"Sister Qin, just tell me what's going on. I'll see if I can help."

"Qingshan, I really have no other choice. Banggen has lost his job, and my daughter-in-law keeps asking for a divorce. We can't make a living anymore. Qingshan, as your leader, can you help me think of a solution?" Qin Huairu was almost in tears as she spoke.

"You've really got me stumped about the job issue. A large number of educated youth returning to the city are waiting for job opportunities. It's really not easy to find a job now." Liu Qingshan lowered his head and began to think.

"I know this is a bit embarrassing, but there is really no other way! Please help me and think of a solution!"

A job quota is not a difficult thing for Liu Qingshan. He really doesn't want to help this little roll of the eyes!

"Banggeng, how is your study going? My father just retired and the factory is short of electricians. If you can pass the electrician exam, I can arrange for you to work in the factory." Qingshan looked at Banggeng seriously and said.

"I have never studied electrical engineering. I don't know anything. How can I pass the electrician exam?" Bangendala said disappointedly.

"It doesn't matter if you don't know. You graduated from junior high school, so you have some basics. I have a few books, take them home and have a look. If you don't know anything, come and ask me. You can also ask my dad during the day and ask him to teach you more. Then sign up for the exam and wait for the electrician certificate to come out, and I will help you find a job."

If Banggeng could really pass the electrician exam, it would not be difficult to find him a job. Jobs in these large state-owned factories are still in short supply. But in Liu Qingshan's opinion, that's just the way it is. Those who are supposed to be laid off will still be laid off in a few years.

"Qingshan, is it easy to get this certificate? It's just average to help her study. I'm afraid she won't pass it." Qin Huairu said worriedly.

"It is definitely not easy for you to read the books and take the exam by yourself. But we have an old electrician here. If you don't know something, you can come and ask. You can still pass the exam with someone teaching you!" Liu Qingshan said affirmatively.

"Okay, thank you in advance. I'll have to trouble you to take care of the child's work!"

"Thank you, Uncle Liu."

Liu Qingshan stood up and said quickly, "No need to thank me, just wait here for a while, I'll get the book to you!"

After a while, Qin Huairu and her son went home with the books.
