Comfortable life in Siheyuan

Time flies, and the whole country has ushered in tremendous changes.

There have been significant changes in the courtyard, with many young people coming and going.

There are only two old people living in the third uncle's house now, and Yan Jiecheng's family has taken even the children away.

In the Jia family in the middle courtyard, after Banggeng moved out, he came back less and less. Banggeng's wife never came back. Qin Huairu said that Wang Li was pregnant, but no one in the courtyard had seen it.

The Guangqi couple in the backyard also moved out. Although they live in the next yard, they basically never come to this yard, and the children never take the initiative to come to see their uncle and aunt.

Liu Qingshan has also recently started to think about opening a restaurant with his street-facing house together with Zhuzi and Nan Yi.

After all, there are now many private owners who have opened restaurants and started small businesses.

Liu Qingshan also knew that things like what happened in the past would not happen again this time, the environment had really changed.

But during this period, he often lived in the school dormitory, and his research on titanium alloy materials had entered the final stage.

After Liu Qingshan went to university, he has been conducting in-depth research on titanium alloys. Recently, the high-strength titanium alloy he led the research on has made significant progress.

Now we are working on perfecting the process flow for mass production. We are so busy that we forget to eat and sleep. We haven't been back to Siheyuan for a long time.

A while ago, Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng came to see Sha Zhu. They wanted to open a restaurant and wanted to hire Sha Zhu as the chef.

Sha Zhu didn't hold back and ripped off the two of them, and then prepared to take Ma Hua with him to help out at the restaurant. Sha Zhu even went to talk to Ma Hua.

"Ma Hua, the master has found a job for you. If you come with me at mealtime in the future, you can earn some extra money." Ever since becoming his disciple, Sha Zhu has been very good to Ma Hua, and Ma Hua's conditions are much better than before.

"Master, from now on when we both go to the cafeteria for meals, what should we do with it? There must be someone to watch over it!" Ma Hua also wanted to go, but he had to consider his master.

"That's right, then I'll take Fatty with me, and you can help with his work, and I'll give you some of his salary!"

Sha Zhu went to help out at Yu Li's restaurant. Not only did he get paid, he also had to bring back food from the restaurant every day.

The He family's food was not bad to begin with, but after going to Yu Li's restaurant, the standard has gone up a few notches. The third uncle was so amazed.

In the evening, Sha Zhu was almost done with his work at the restaurant, so he just threw the rest of the work to Fatty, and went back to the courtyard with his lunch box. As soon as he entered the gate, he was stopped by the third uncle.

"Zhu Zi is back. You have a lot of lunch boxes. Wow, you bring back so many dishes after work!" The third uncle was drooling as he spoke.

"Your son gave it to me. Uncle, you should tell your son when you have time and ask him to pack two dishes for you every day. Then your dinner will be ready, right?"

At this time, the three aunts had already started working at Yan Jiecheng's restaurant and were receiving a salary every month.

"Haha, Jie Cheng's restaurant business is pretty good, right?"

"With me here, how can anything go wrong? Business is booming!"

Yan Jiecheng and his wife do have some business acumen. There are not many people who dare to be the first to try something new these days.

Yan Bugui looked at Sha Zhu who had returned to the house, his eyes full of envy.

At the He family in the middle courtyard, He Daqing looked at Sha Zhu who had just arrived home and asked in confusion, "What were you talking about with that old stingy guy just now?"

"Hey! Aren't you here to see me bring back some food? Uncle San is waiting for me at the door! He wants to see how many dishes I brought."

"That couple is running a restaurant, but they didn't even bring back any food for Uncle and Aunt!" Tian Xiuyun looked surprised.

"And you still want to bring some food? This restaurant has been open for such a long time, but Uncle Sanzang hasn't tasted anything!" Sha Zhu said with a look of disgust.

"It's not surprising. The whole family, young and old, has learned the stingy habit of the third uncle. The Jie Cheng couple are even smarter than the third uncle. They won't have an easy life in the future!" He Daqing said to himself.

"You don't know that the job of Auntie San in the hotel is not easy, and Yu Li is still finding fault with this and that. I can't stand it anymore."

"You won't be able to hold this job for long. With your personality, you can't get along with them." He Daqing said to his son.

"I haven't thought too much about it. Just do it first. If it doesn't work, we'll withdraw." Sha Zhu now lets Fatty do all the big and small jobs, and he enjoys a leisurely life every day.

In the evening, the third aunt returned home with a tired face. The third uncle looked at the third aunt with empty hands and felt bitter.

"Have you told Jie Cheng about bringing back the vegetables?" asked the third uncle helplessly.

"I did, but don't you know that your eldest daughter-in-law rejected me outright? If I had said a few more words, I would have lost my job."

The third aunt's face was not looking good either. What Yu Li and Jie Cheng said today was like a knife, stabbing her heart.

Liu Qingshan finally had a day off on the weekend, and he slept until noon. Feng Yu felt sorry for her husband, who looked a little haggard.

"Qingshan, don't work so hard. Rest when you need to. Your body is the capital of revolution!" Feng Yu took a towel, wrung it dry and handed it to Qingshan.

"I know, I'll pay attention to it next time. I forgot about it when I was busy recently." Liu Qingshan smiled awkwardly.

"By the way, what are you going to do with our house along the street? The Yu family's small restaurant is doing a booming business! How about we open a bigger restaurant and invite Nan Yi over?" Feng Yu's eyes were shining. Ever since Liu Qingshan bought two houses, the savings he had were not as much as before.

"Okay! Let's talk about it after I'm done with my work. I'll ask Captain Sun from the decoration team to clean it up."

Liu Qingshan wanted to wait a little longer. Firstly, his house was quite big, so it would be much more difficult to open a restaurant than a small one. Secondly, he didn't want to be the first to open a restaurant. It would be very troublesome to open such a big restaurant.

In the evening, Liu Qingshan was called by Sha Zhu to his house for a drink, and they ate the dishes that Sha Zhu brought back from Yan Jiecheng's restaurant.

"Qingshan, this dish has a story to tell! Let me tell you, although this dish is from a restaurant, even his father has never eaten it. You have enjoyed it earlier than Yan Bugui." Sha Zhu joked with a smile.

"The son opened a restaurant, but his father hasn't tasted any food? Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li are much better than the third uncle!" Liu Qingshan was not surprised. After so many years, even if he didn't know the plot, he knew the couple's character.

"Hehe! This family is really interesting. They even calculate every bite of food so clearly. I guess it will cost a lot for the old couple to need someone to take care of them in the future." He Daqing joked with a smile.

"I'm in good health now and don't need anyone to serve me, but there will always be a time when that happens. I don't think I'll be much better than Jia Zhang in our courtyard!" Sha Zhu's mind was as clear as a mirror, and he saw everything clearly.

After a few drinks, Liu Qingshan felt a little dizzy: "By the way, Zhuzi, how is your work at Jiecheng Hotel?"

Sha Zhu waved his hand: "It's OK, but Yu Li is too troublesome. But we don't care, anyway, we can get paid and leave after the work is done."

He Daqing interrupted and said, "Zhu Zi, you better be careful and don't let others plot against you."

Sha Zhu patted his chest and said, "I am not stupid, who can plot against me?"
