Comfortable life in Siheyuan

When Liu Qingshan and his group returned to the courtyard, it was already completely dark.

Yi Xiaojun went to return the car alone, and then everyone dispersed.

After returning to the house, Liu's father came over and asked Liu Qingshan softly, "How is the person? Is everything okay?"

"It's hard to say. He hasn't woken up yet. If he really can't wake up, I guess..." Liu Qingshan didn't finish his words, but everyone understood what he meant.

"What happened today? After you all left, the people in the yard went to ask Banggeng and Huaihua, but they still couldn't figure out what happened after a long time!" Father Liu shook his head and said with some concern.

"Dad, this is someone else's family affair, let's not worry about it. I'll go get something to eat first, I'm hungry!" Liu Qingshan didn't want to ask more. He was not that curious about what happened.

Jia Zhang stayed in the hospital for two days and never woke up. The first and third aunts took turns to take care of her.

Finally, on the afternoon of the third day, the man woke up. But at this time, Jia Zhang was obviously not in good condition. She could only speak with difficulty. The doctor reluctantly announced that she could be taken home and prepare for her funeral!

Qin Huairu hadn't had a good rest for several days, so early this morning she asked everyone in the courtyard to bring Jia Zhang back.

Everyone in the courtyard gathered at the gate of the Jia family in the middle courtyard, looking at Jia Zhang lying in the main room, and whispering something!

Jia Zhang stared at Qin Huairu with her eyes fixed on him. Her voice was not loud, but she spoke clearly, word by word: "Huairu, my great-grandson must have the surname Jia. If this surname is not changed back, I will never be able to close my eyes even if I die!"

Qin Huairu wanted to pull her hand out of Jia Zhang's hand, but she failed after trying twice.

"Mom, don't worry. Our family's Banggeng hasn't married into the family, so it's impossible for the child to take their surname!" Qin Huairu patted Jia Zhang's hand and comforted her.

Although Jia Zhang's voice was not loud, the neighbors at the door heard it. They were also startled and began to speak louder.

"What's going on? Isn't Banggeng's son's last name Jia?"

"I was wondering why Aunt Jia fainted. Maybe she was angry about this, right?"

"Other families that marry into the family usually have several brothers. But the Jia family only has one son!"

People in the courtyard were talking about all kinds of things, but considering Jia Zhang's situation, their voices became smaller and smaller, and many people even consciously walked away to talk.

In the evening, when Liu Qingshan got home from get off work, he was shocked by the situation in the Intermediate Court.

The house was packed with people, not only those in the courtyard, but also many of the surrounding neighbors. Liu Qingshan even saw the figure of the Second Uncle.

After pushing the car back home, Liu Qingshan walked to his wife and asked about the situation in a low voice.

"What's going on today? Why are there so many people?"

"Aunt Jia can't take it anymore! Banggeng is kneeling on the ground and swearing!" Feng Yu replied absentmindedly, and his attention was focused on the Jia family again.

"What are you swearing for? Is Aunt Jia really in bad shape?" Liu Qingshan was wondering in his heart. Bang Geng on the other end had already made the promise, but Liu Qingshan didn't hear it clearly.

"Banggeng's son has taken the Wang family surname. Aunt Jia feels very uncomfortable and can't swallow this anger. Didn't Banggeng come here and swear an oath?" The second uncle on the side said with a sigh.

"Second Uncle is here!" Liu Qingshan greeted Second Uncle.

"Oh! Now that he's like this, your second aunt and I have to come over to take a look. After all, we've been neighbors living in the same courtyard for decades! Although there were some unpleasantness in the past, now that he's like this, we can't just hold on to the past!" sighed the second uncle.

"Second Master is thoughtful!"

Not long after Banggeng swore and cursed, Jia Zhang died, but Aunt Jia's eyes were still open. Qin Huairu walked forward and closed her eyes with her hands several times before she finally closed them. Soon, the Jia family burst into tears!

Several old men also stepped forward at this time to help the Jia family set up the mourning hall, and everyone in the yard followed suit and busied themselves.

It took several days of hard work before Jia Zhang's funeral was finally settled.

After finishing the work, the Jia family sat together again. Not only did Xiaodang and his wife come back, but even Wang Li's parents and eldest brother and sister-in-law sat at home.

"My dear relatives, I took the initiative to name Liangliang. I'm sorry to your old lady! But I have my own difficulties. I had no choice but to do it! I apologize to you!"

Wang Li's parents stood up together and bowed in the direction of the Jia family.

"My dear relatives, Liangliang is the only child of our Jia family, and he is also the eldest son. He cannot take your Wang family's surname. But we understand your feelings. They can just have another child with your surname in the future! Do you think this is okay?"

Qin Huairu didn't pursue the matter too much, after all, Banggeng still had to make a living. His father-in-law and his family were indeed very good to him.

"Okay, we didn't think this through. Liangliang's last name will be what you said, and you can just have another child with the Wang family last name!"

Neither family had the appetite to eat anymore. Although Qin Huairu politely asked them to stay, the Wang family still left. When they left, they took Wang Li and her mother back with them.

They said that the elderly in the family had just passed away and it was not appropriate for the child to stay here, so they took the child back to her parents' home.

After the Jia family sent the Wang family away, Qin Huairu looked at Banggeng and said earnestly, "Banggeng, Mom knows it's hard for you to be caught in the middle. But your mother-in-law's family has no grandchildren, so it's understandable that they want the child to take their own surname. Fortunately, this matter has been resolved now. Go back and coax your wife, and don't cause any more conflicts."

Banggeng nodded and promised, "Mom, I understand. I'll take care of it." After sending Wang Li and Liangliang away, the Jia family returned to their former tranquility.

Soon no one mentioned the Jia family's affairs anymore, and the courtyard became the same as usual.

More than half a month has passed! The Xu family in the backyard added a color TV and a refrigerator these two days. Everyone in the yard is extremely envious.

At night, a large color TV was set up in front of the Xu family's door, and everyone in the courtyard gathered around to watch. Liu Qingshan was also somewhat curious about what a color TV looked like in that era, so he also came to join in the fun.

"Qingshan, this color TV is beautiful! You are a university professor and you are not short of money, why don't you buy one?" The third uncle saw Liu Qingshan coming to see it and joked with a smile.

"I can't bear to part with it. This thing shows the same content as a black and white TV, and it's much more expensive!" Liu Qingshan was not interested in this. Just the resolution of this color TV was too tiring for his eyes.

"How can they be the same? This is a big color TV. The black and white TV at home is not as clear as this." Xu Damao explained hurriedly. He got great satisfaction from other people's bragging in the past two days.

Liu Qingshan watched for a while, then lost interest and went home yawning!

What he didn't know was that the people behind him began to talk in low voices when they saw that he was not there.

"These days, working is really not as good as doing business!"

"Yes, Qingshan is a cadre, but he must feel bad for buying a color TV all of a sudden!"
