Comfortable life in Siheyuan

In the evening, his parents prepared meals and brought them to Liu Qingshan’s room, and the whole family was eating there.

"Xiaoyu, where did you put the tea and cigarettes I brought back yesterday?" Liu Qingshan suddenly asked, remembering the tea and cigarettes given to him by the military leaders.

"It's still in the bag. I didn't move it. I just took out all the clothes for you." Feng Yu said.

Liu Qingshan went and took out everything in the bag.

"Dad, these are the tea and cigarettes I brought back from the army. I brought them for you to try."

"I don't need it. You can bring it to your father-in-law. I don't usually drink tea." Father Liu said with a smile!

"Then we'll give each half. I'll give you a pack of cigarettes and a bag of tea. And also bring one for my father-in-law." Liu Qingshan said happily!

"Yes! All right, you can send it to your father-in-law tomorrow."

"Dad, I'm not at home. Nothing happened in our yard, right?"

"No, our second uncle next door, Jia Guangqi, is also working. I heard that he started dating a girl some time ago and they seem to be getting married soon." said Liu's father.

The boss of the Liu family is about to run away!

"Oh! Did the Third Master find a job?"

"I haven't heard of him. He just hangs around at home and often goes out to do odd jobs." said Liu's father!

"Is it hard to find a job now? I think his eldest son is also graduating from junior high school happily." Liu Qingshan asked.

"There are a lot of young people with nothing to do on the streets now, but there are still job opportunities for those who are willing to work hard," said Liu's father.

"Why didn't Xu Damao see it?"

"He went to the countryside to show movies some time ago and hasn't been back for a few days," said Liu's father.

"You two should take good care of the children at night, especially you Liu Qingshan. Xiaoyu is still weak, so don't let her get up. You have to make two more trips if there is anything." My mother nags me several times every day.

“Got it, Mom.

"Xiaoyu, what did you guys eat at home today?" Liu Qingshan asked.

"Sister Xiuyun brought two eggs today. There was some loofah in our yard, so we ate some loofah and egg soup. People say it helps increase milk production," said Feng Yu.

"Do you have enough milk?" said Liu's mother!

"It's okay now, enough to eat, not too much at least," said Feng Yu.

"I'm going to visit my sister tomorrow and buy some pig's trotters." Liu Qingshan said.

"Just buy some. Don't buy too much. The weather is too hot and they can't keep it. Just buy enough for them to eat for one day. Then buy some free big bones the next day and soak some soybeans to make some soup for them." said Liu's mother.

"Okay, I got it! I'll go there during my lunch break tomorrow and bring it back to them at noon."

The family was chatting and laughing. After dinner, the grandparents looked at their little granddaughter and teased her non-stop.

……

Early the next morning, Liu Qingshan first rode his bike to his father-in-law's house to deliver tea and cigarettes, and then went to the factory.

The superiors sent over some more parts for processing, and Liu Qingshan and several colleagues from the technical department spent a long time drawing the drawings.

After lunch, Liu Qingshan rode his bike to the meat processing factory.

"Hello, I'm looking for our factory's accountant Liu Qingxia. I'm his younger brother." When he arrived at the factory gate, he first told the security guard at the gate his purpose.

"That's the building over there. Go up to the second floor and you'll see it. Go there by yourself and don't wander around once you're inside the factory." A middle-aged man warned.

"Okay, thank you." Liu Qingshan thanked him.

As soon as I reached the second floor and walked a few steps, I saw my second sister in an office with the door open.

"Second sister, second sister." Liu Qingshan called out twice in a low voice.

"Qingshan, why are you here? When did you come back?" The older sister came out from the desk and walked to the door.

"I just came back the day before yesterday. Second sister, please save some bones and pig's trotters for me these days. My wife doesn't have much milk, so you need to give her some supplements." Liu Qingshan had nothing to be embarrassed about, and he spoke directly to his elder sister.

"If you hadn't told me, I would have gone there this weekend. I've already told the master that I've left two pig's trotters. Don't run around anymore. I'll deliver them over this weekend."

"Okay, then you can get me some bones, and I'll go back and make some soup for Xiaoyu."

"Okay, I'll go down and take a look. I miss Xixi a lot. I'll take Dongdong to see his sister on the weekend."

"Xixi's name has been chosen. She's Liu Yuqian, which means "Yu" in "language" and "Xi" in "grass"."

"Liu Yuqian, that sounds nice. Now Dongdong has a sister, so he will have someone to play with in the future. Your brother-in-law's family is older than him and is unwilling to take him to play."

With that, the two of them went downstairs.

My sister picked out two large bones with some meat on them and asked the chef to break them and wrap them up.

"Sister, I'll send him back first. Please bring Dongdong over to play early on the weekend." After saying that, the two of them waved their hands and left.

Liu Qingshan rode his bike quickly back home, put his things down, and rushed back to the factory without saying a few words.

When he arrived at the office, he took a big gulp of water and then sat down leisurely.

"Liu Qingshan, what are you busy with in the middle of the day? You are sweating all over." Tang Xiaoling asked curiously when she saw that Liu Qingshan's clothes were wet.

"I went back home at noon. My wife had just given birth and was home alone. I bought some bones and brought them back to make soup for them." Liu Qingshan explained.

"Then your wife is very happy."

"What's the big deal? It's all what I deserve. I was on a business trip this time and was away for half a year. I wasn't there when my wife was giving birth in the hospital. I already feel guilty about that. I wasn't at home for half a year after she became pregnant. It was even harder for her."

"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, is it a boy or a girl your wife gave birth to?"

"The girl, her nickname is Xixi, her real name is Liu Yuqian. She may be in a lot of trouble now. I had two dark circles under my eyes when I went to work yesterday. It was because of her."

"Haha, children are all like this when they are young."

"Aren't you married too? When are you going to have a child?"

"It's been almost three months. Corey knows everything, but you've been away from the factory, so you don't know."

"Congratulations, I hope you'll have a big fat boy."

"Brother Wang, Brother Li, from now on, Sanduo will share this work with Xiao Tang. We can't tire out the pregnant woman!" Liu Qingshan said to the other two technicians with a smile.

"We have been sharing the burden, and even you have been doing your part during this period. You are finally back." Wang Lei also said with a smile.

"Yes, you are now a level nine engineer. We have done a lot of work for you in the past six months. You need to give us more guidance and help us improve." Brother Li Li Yunfei also joked.

"I dare not give you any advice. Let's learn and progress together. It just so happens that I mentioned it to the section chief yesterday. Let's have dinner together on Saturday night. We can have a table in our factory cafeteria. It's nearby. Let's have a get-together in the section."

Liu Qingshan didn't want to travel too far just to eat since his wife was still in confinement after giving birth. He had to go home to take care of his wife and children at night, so he asked the section chief to treat them at the factory cafeteria at his own expense.
