Comfortable life in Siheyuan

By the afternoon, the Jia family had not yet completely calmed down, and the two sisters were busy moving back home. There were quite a few large and small bags.

After Xixi and Mo Lanlan finished their meal, they cleaned up the house for a while and prepared to go shopping with their brother and Niu Niu in the afternoon. Liu Qingshan specially gave them some money.

"Dad, you don't have to give me money. I have plenty of money on me." Liu Xixi now has an allowance, plus what her parents gave her before, she has plenty of money on hand.

"Take your classmates out to buy some things and take them around for a good look!" Liu Qingshan ordered with a smile.

"Okay, let's go out and play." The four were about to go out when a group of people came running over in the yard.

Niu Niu and Xixi's younger brothers and sisters all have to follow them out.

"Sister, we want to go too. Will you take us with you?" Liu Yuhao looked at Xixi expectantly, his little eyes full of longing.

"Dad, I dare not bring so many people with me. We can't bring them all." Xixi said helplessly.

"Then I'll go with you. It won't do for such a large family without an adult to look after them." Liu Qingshan thought it would be better to take them out together. They would just watch TV at home, so it would be better to go out for a walk!

In the end, it turned into a group tour for a group of people.

A group of people went to the Forbidden City in a mighty procession. As the largest existing wooden palace complex in the world, it is impossible to tour it all in half a day.

The current Forbidden City still retains its original scenery, without so much artificial decoration in later generations. Liu Qingshan was fascinated by it for a while.

The Forbidden City is not only an outstanding representative of ancient Chinese palace architecture, but also an important symbol of Chinese history and culture.

Liu Qingshan was fascinated for a while, then he turned his attention to the children. With so many children running, he couldn't keep up with them. The amount of exercise they had done was almost as much as five kilometers.

The group of people were overwhelmed by the variety of things to see here. After walking around for half a day, they still hadn’t finished even half of it.

When they got home, it was already dark. Liu Qingshan felt exhausted.

"Qingshan, you're back! Where did you take them to play?" Walking into the central courtyard, Sha Zhu saw a few people at a glance and asked happily.

"I went to the Forbidden City, but I didn't even finish half of the tour. It's already dark!" Liu Qingshan said with a smile.

"That place is so huge, it would take a long time to walk around it. How can you finish the tour if you walk around like this?"

"A bunch of bastards, they run so fast. I'm exhausted after spending half the day. Next time I'd rather die than go out with them." Liu Qingshan really felt this, and his back is still wet.

"You are really amazing. How can you not suffer if you carry so many things at once?"

Sha Zhu and Liu Qingshan stood aside and chatted for a few words, and the children also went home at this time.

Liu Qingshan simply washed his face and came over to prepare for dinner.

"It's quite lively, everyone is chatting!"

The Liu family’s dinner was ready, and the whole family was sitting around the table, excitedly talking about what had happened today.

"Dad, we are talking about what we are going to do today!" Liu Yuhao said excitedly.

"By the way, Dad, where are we going to play tomorrow?" Liu Siqi was still thinking about going out to play tomorrow, and he was very happy.

"Don't you have to go to work tomorrow? Can you still play with the kids?" Feng Yu looked at him curiously.

"I won't go tomorrow. I have to go to school." Liu Qingshan was really scared and didn't dare to accompany them out tomorrow.

"It's okay, we'll just walk around the neighborhood tomorrow. Lanlan is quite interested in our buildings, so I plan to take her for a walk tomorrow. But not with these little monkeys," Xixi said happily, and at the end she glared at her two younger brothers.

"That's good, but you guys should still be careful when you go out," Liu Qingshan instructed.

After dinner, the children went back to their room to rest early. They played a little crazy today, exercised a lot, and slept very soundly.

The next morning, Xixi and Mo Lanlan set out. They went straight to Nanluo Ancient Alley to admire the ancient and unique architectural style of the capital.

Moranlan was fascinated by the details of ancient architecture and kept asking Xixi about the history and cultural background of the buildings.

"It feels like there's a lively atmosphere here!" Mo Lanlan exclaimed.

Xixi smiled and nodded, and the two of them strolled through the alleys, feeling the charm of the city.

After walking around for a while, the two of them went from window shopping and looking at buildings to eating.

Along the way, the two of them ate a lot of special snacks, and by the time they finished shopping, their stomachs were full.

At the end, the two of them took a lot of delicious food back home.

Mo Lanlan stayed at Liu's house for two days. On the third day, Liu Xixi sent her to the train station and she took a train back to Shanghai. She put all of her luggage that was difficult to carry in Liu Xixi's room. Xixi also bought her some special products from Beijing and asked her to take them back to try.

As the Chinese New Year approached, the atmosphere in the courtyard became stronger and stronger. Liu Qingshan's family also grew larger and larger, and his eldest brother and second sister sent all their children back home.

The eldest brother and the second sister knew that his family had a big house and a place to live, which was just right for Xixi to watch them study. But this was hard for grandparents, as it took a long time just to cook every day.

He Daqing is also very busy every day. Yushui and his wife were very busy before the New Year and had no time to take care of the children. Yushui directly sent the children over.

In the evening, when Sha Zhu pulled Liu Qingshan to He Daqing's house, they were both stunned.

The room was full of more than 20 people, watching TV. Everyone was holding snacks in their hands, looking very happy. It was obvious that He Daqing had made it.

"Uncle He, you're now the platoon leader. You're such a great guy, and you can lead such a large team." Liu Qingshan took a quick look and saw that not only the children from the Liu and He families, but also several children from the Nan Yi family were here.

He Daqing fried a lot of melon seeds and peanuts for them. The peanuts were made into several different kinds of dishes.

"Children like to come and play with me, and I am happy. I just like to be with children. Those old guys in our yard are too serious, and I can't play with them."

At the end of his speech, He Daqing did not forget to criticize a few old men in the courtyard.

"Dad, can your pension support us? With so many people, it will cost a lot of money to buy melon seeds and peanuts, right?" Sha Zhu joked with a smile.

"Don't underestimate your dad. I also have a pension." He Daqing said proudly.

"Uncle He, stop spoiling the children. You've spoiled them. They won't be able to eat the food my parents cook in the future." Liu Qingshan said with a smile.

He Daqing smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. As long as the children are happy with their food, that's fine. If your parents' cooking isn't tasty, just let the children come over. These children are all good!"

Seeing this, Sha Zhu also smiled and said, "Dad, you have a really good attitude. I have to learn from you."
