Comfortable life in Siheyuan

Liu Qingshan has been studying the same topic but in different research directions for more than a year.

This year, Xixi finally graduated. She is now assigned to RM Daily as an editor and still lives at home after get off work.

In addition to work, she is also writing books. Influenced by Liu Qingshan's cabinets of books, she likes her current job very much.

Liu Qingshan and Feng Yu also sent Liu Yuhao away to his brother-in-law to receive training.

On the day of his departure, Feng Yu suddenly became reluctant to let him go, and even complained to Liu Qingshan. You said you could send him to a nearby place to serve in the army, but why did you send him so far away? How could our son have been to such a far place since he was a child?

Liu Qingshan laughed bitterly when he heard this. This has been sent to your brother, so what are you afraid of?

These days, Liu Qingshan and his wife and Sha Zhu and his wife have been busy packing up.

Lou Xiao'e's hotel in the south was finally completed and now open for business. She came back a few days ago and invited them to go there for fun. Liu Xixi had also taken leave and planned to go with them.

In the evening, Liu Qingshan and his wife went to He Ji Restaurant to chat with Sha Zhu and his wife.

"I think you guys are really good now. You never go back to this courtyard. Throughout the year, except for the two days of rest during the Chinese New Year, you don't take a day off."

Sha Zhu and his wife go home less and less often now, and have begun to treat the restaurant as their home.

"That's right, why did you agree so easily as soon as Lou Xiao'e said it this time? Are you willing to move?" Feng Yu also joked.

"Hehe! Ma Hua has become a master now, and we can relax a little from now on. I won't have to keep an eye on this restaurant all the time!" Sha Zhu explained with a smile.

"Okay, Ma Hua, it's finally done. So have you prepared everything? You should bring more money?"

If Sha Zhu and his wife hadn't gone there, Liu Qingshan really wouldn't have dared to go! When he got there, he was unfamiliar with the place and there was no one to look after him, so he was really worried.

"I've prepared everything, how can I really let Lou Xiao'e spend money!"

Lou Xiao'e had already said that she would cover all the expenses. But they couldn't really do that, so they also prepared some money to bring with them.

"What has Xu Damao been doing recently? I haven't heard from him for a long time!" When mentioning Lou Xiao'e, Liu Qingshan couldn't help but think of Xu Damao. This man seemed to have disappeared recently.

"He came to my place to show off a while ago, and now he seems to be dealing in TVs with someone else. I don't know who he's teaming up with, but his style is much better than that of Second Master."

Sha Zhu met Xu Damao in a restaurant some time ago. Mainly because Xu Damao would come to his place to show off whenever he had time. These two are still competing with each other.

"His eldest son has moved out, hasn't he? I heard a while ago that Xu Damao bought him a house in our factory cadre building. Now the couple often go there. I guess Xu Damao is getting comfortable living in the building!"

Feng Yu also heard it from people in the hospital. Xu Damao did not hide the fact that he bought a house, but Liu Qingshan had been leaving home early and coming back late recently, so he didn't know about it.

"What's so good about living in that tube-shaped building? It's not down-to-earth at all. When you cook in the house, the corridor on the first floor is filled with smoke!"

Sha Zhu used to cook for several cadres, so he knew those buildings very well!

"That's right, that's why I only bought courtyard houses. I'm not interested in buildings!" Liu Qingshan said with a smile.

"How much house did you buy? Do you think I should buy a separate yard as well?"

Sha Zhu rarely went back to the courtyard now because he didn't like to interact with the neighbors in the courtyard. He really didn't want to get involved with the Jia family and the Yi family in the middle courtyard and Xu Damao in the backyard.

"You have earned money now, so just buy what you want! If you have enough money, just buy one. You will live comfortably in the future!" Liu Qingshan said.

"Then I'll look for it later. To be honest, the restaurant has made a lot of money in the past two years. I can't bear to rest for a single day!"

The restaurant of Shazhu has changed a lot now. A circle of houses has been built in the backyard. There are several private rooms of different sizes. The ground is also paved with bluestone slabs, which looks antique and full of charm.

"You need to rest. How much money is enough?" Liu Qingshan advised with a smile.

"Come on! You've opened three new Shabu Shabu restaurants this year, so you've made a lot of money. Why don't you move? I remember you bought a big courtyard with three entrances, right?"

No one in the courtyard knew how much money Liu Qingshan's Shabu Shabu had made, but Sha Zhu knew it. He knew the profits very well and could roughly guess it.

"I do want to move, but my parents are used to living here, and this place is not far from my father-in-law's house. Feng Yu can still go back home when he has time!"

Liu Qingshan's courtyard was more comfortable than the small courtyard at the entrance. He had bought this house with his own money, and the materials used were all very good, so he really had no intention of moving out.

Whenever Feng Yu has free time, he will go to clean up the three-story courtyard house they bought later. After a few years, when their children get married and start their own families, they plan to move there.

"Are those restaurants of yours all your own? I see the materials you used for decoration are quite high quality." Sha Zhu went to see his new restaurant and was shocked by its decoration.

"Yes, I have some money, so I bought them all. If I rented them, the location of the hotel would be better, but these are the only locations I can buy!"

This is normal. Places with good locations are generally not for sale! If they really want to be sold, they will be bought by people who know the information early. There are many rich people at this time!

The three shops Liu Qingshan bought later were not only not as well located as the first one, but also not as large in size. They were all simple small buildings without any yards at all.

"How is Xixi doing recently? Is she dating someone? I haven't seen her for a long time!" Tian Xiuyun asked Feng Yu.

"No, this kid has a good idea. Many friends came to ask about it, but she turned them all down. I guess she might have found someone she likes!"

Feng Yu didn't know what Xixi was thinking. The men who came to propose marriage all had good conditions, but she didn't even look at them.

"That's good. I say let Xixi be our daughter-in-law. Niu Niu has always been following her around, and they are childhood sweethearts." Sha Zhu has had this idea for a while and often talked about it with Liu Qingshan.

"It depends on the child's own wishes. If she really gets together with Niu Niu, I won't have to worry too much. Niu Niu in your family can cook and do housework. Xixi will be lucky to be with him." Feng Yu joked with a smile.

Everyone was laughing happily, except Liu Qingshan, who felt a little uncomfortable that someone wanted to take away the flowers in his own garden, even the pots.

"How can I not enjoy myself? As soon as Niu Niu came back from vacation, he asked where Xixi was. He cooked delicious food for her every day in different ways. I asked him to learn cooking from me before, but he refused to do so! Later, I heard that your daughter likes to eat these, so I started to learn it myself."

Sha Zhu thought of how his son looked when he came back from vacation and shook his head in disgust.
