Comfortable life in Siheyuan

"Brother, sister-in-law. After my house is repaired, I can let all the children come back to live here during the winter and summer vacations. In the future, during holidays, the brothers and sisters can get together and play." Liu Qingshan said with a smile.

"That's right. You never come back, and the children are no longer close to us," Liu's mother blamed.

"You are the ones who said this. I will send it to you when I have a holiday. As long as you don't mind, I would be happy to do so." The eldest brother and his wife's eyes were obviously filled with joy.

There were many children in the military compound, and they were all quite aggressive, so getting into trouble was commonplace. Even the girls were straightforward.

"It's okay, wait until the kids have their holidays. Our eldest is back too. With Xixi watching over us, there won't be any trouble."

Xixi's personality is actually quite good, thanks to her good grades all the time. In addition, the other children of her age in the yard all listen to her, so she is considered a leader among the children in the area.

After they agreed on this, they went to see the house. My eldest brother and his wife were also very satisfied with the house. After a final round of bargaining, they spent nearly twelve thousand yuan on the house and the furniture.

The eldest brother didn't have enough money on him, so Liu Qingshan went home and gave him 1,000 yuan before the deal was done.

"Now that you two have your own houses, do we have to live on our own from now on?" Father Liu said somewhat unhappily.

"Dad, I will still live with you. When the children grow up, you can give them this house. If you are not happy living in the yard, our family can move out. It's up to you." Liu Qingshan said quickly.

"That's true."

"Dad, you're overthinking this. Didn't I buy this house so that I can go home more often in the future? This place is so close to our home."

In fact, Father Liu did not really blame his two sons. It was just that the children were too capable and did not need his help. He suddenly felt empty and at a loss as to what to do.

In the afternoon, my eldest brother completed the formalities and went back with my eldest sister-in-law.

Within two days, Liu Qingshan's house was built and the yard was repaved. Now the yard looked more like a separate small courtyard.

"Boss, take a look at the furniture and see if you need anything. I know a lumberyard over there. There are a lot of old furniture in their warehouse. If you want to take a look, I'll take you there in a few days."

"That's great. I'll tidy up my house in the next two days and look for some furniture to buy. Then I'll go directly to the street office to find you."

"Okay, then it's settled."

The whole courtyard has now become brand new, and the east gate has been demolished and rebuilt. There are two rooms on the north side of the gate and one room on the right side, each of which is about ten square meters.

Light bulbs and old-style sockets were also installed in the house, which will make it easier for children to study in the future.

Liu Qingshan and his wife counted at home and decided to buy at least five beds. They already had a large table at home, so they needed to buy another one to put in the south room. They also needed to have all the chairs. They would buy tables and other things when they saw the time.

What about the wardrobe and desk? I was shocked when I counted them. This is much more than thirty-six legs.

On this weekend, Liu Qingshan and his brother-in-law followed Captain Sun to the sawmill.

After entering the sawmill, Captain Sun greeted Director Xu of the sawmill enthusiastically.

"Qingshan, this is Director Xu. We will follow him to the warehouse later." Director Xu looked to be in his fifties and had a full beard.

"Hello, Director Xu, thank you for your help." Liu Qingshan shook hands with the man enthusiastically.

"Hello, we have quite a lot of furniture in our factory. We also have some experienced craftsmen who specialize in making furniture outside. If you want to make it according to your favorite style, we also have craftsmen who can do it."

Liu Qingshan's eyes lit up instantly when he heard this. He had never been able to buy desks for the children that he liked, so he could only make do with some desks that he found.

When he heard Director Xu say this, his mind suddenly became active.

Several people came to the warehouse, and when Director Xu asked someone to open the door of the warehouse, Liu Qingshan and others were stunned.

The warehouse is full of furniture of all kinds. You can see some precious woods at a glance.

"See what you want to buy. If you buy a lot, we can give you a cheaper price."

Liu Qingshan looked around carefully and found that many of the furniture here had been restored, and they were obviously old furniture from the Ming and Qing dynasties.

"All of this is old furniture that was collected. Some were handled by trust stores, and some were sold to us when we were buying wood. If you want to buy used ones, we can give you a discount."

Liu Qingshan fell in love with a Huanghuali table at first sight. It was in good condition and looked antique.

"You have a really good taste. I want to buy this table myself. But I already have one at home and there is really no place to put it."

My brother-in-law has an even sharper eye. He can't even walk around a rosewood dressing table.

Liu Qingshan went over to take a look and was also very excited. The texture was tight and the workmanship was fine, it was obviously a fine product.

"You have really high standards. Red sandalwood and huanghuali are both precious woods. In the past, only the royal family could use them." Liu Qingshan stroked the red sandalwood dressing table and couldn't let it go. He turned around and asked Director Xu, "How much is this dressing table?"

Director Xu smiled and said, "This is a good thing. It's made of red sandalwood and is so well preserved. It must be worth at least three thousand yuan."

Liu Qingshan was surprised. Three thousand was not a small amount of money, but he really liked it, so he started bargaining with Director Xu.

Finally, he discussed it with his brother-in-law, who thought the price was too high, so he chose a smaller dressing table next to it. But it was not cheap either, and the asking price was more than 1,800 yuan.

He and his brother-in-law selected a few more beds, tables and chairs, negotiated the price together, and then bought everything.

"Director, I want to make some desks. What kind of wood do you have?"

"There is a lot of wood in the factory now. If you want to use better wood, you can use camphor or ash. There are also some rosewood and chicken wing wood, but the price is a bit higher. Do you have any styles?"

"I can draw pictures myself. I'll draw them when I get home and send them to you in two days."

Liu Qingshan finally decided to make some furniture out of camphor wood. He agreed to come over to deliver the blueprints in two days, and then Liu Qingshan went back.

The sawmill specially arranged a truck to help deliver the goods. When Liu Qingshan arrived home, the truck had already arrived in the alley.

He arranged for people to move the furniture back home one by one, and the people in the courtyard gathered around him. Their eyes were full of envy and jealousy.

"Liu Qingshan is really rich. He bought so many furniture at once. It must cost a lot of money." The third aunt said enviously, her eyes almost unable to pop out.

"He has been a cadre for a long time. I heard that his wife now earns more than 100 yuan a month!"

"I can't envy you that. They are both cadres and well-educated. Even Sha Zhu and his wife make over a hundred dollars a month combined."
