Comfortable life in Siheyuan

In a few days, the Chinese New Year will come. The courtyards are becoming lively, and the sound of firecrackers can often be heard in the alleys.

My eldest brother and his wife came back with a bunch of New Year's goods two days ago and stayed at home for one night. Feng Yu had just packed up everything when my second sister and her family came over today and brought a large piece of pork.

"Sister, why did you get so much meat? We don't need it at home." Liu Qingshan looked helpless and didn't know what to say.

"Why are you so touched? It's not given to you. It's given to your parents. You are just benefiting from your parents' kindness." My sister deliberately said this to discourage me.

"Where are the children? Why didn't they come back with you? Your family is busy during the New Year, so it will be more lively for us if you send the children here!" Father Liu asked happily, his beard trembling with laughter.

The two younger ones in my second sister's family are still in school, and my sister and brother-in-law have no time to take care of the children during the New Year, so Liu's father asked this question.

"They will come by themselves in a while. We both get up early in the morning and have a lot to do. If those two guys can't get up, we won't wait for them!" The second sister pouted and said with disgust.

My sister and brother-in-law walked around the house, looking at the refrigerator, washing machine, and telephone, and they were a little surprised!

"Brother! As a parent, you have bought a lot of things. You even bought a washing machine, a refrigerator, and a telephone. Is it true that running a restaurant can make so much money?" The second sister put her arm around Liu Qingshan's shoulders and teased him deliberately.

"Do you want to open one? If you want to open one, then open one. I fully support you!" Liu Qingshan was not joking. He really wanted his sister to stop staying in the meat processing factory.

"No, we can't afford it with our small bodies. It's like a different world for different professions, we don't understand this!" The elder sister still had concerns, fearing that she would lose money if she tried.

"By the way, the courtyard house that my eldest brother and his family bought can now be moved into. We agreed to buy it together. Have you bought it? Why is there no movement?" Liu Qingshan asked with a smile!

The three siblings had already discussed it before buying the house, but now my second sister's family has not made any move.

"We've seen the house. It's over 300 square meters with a courtyard. Your brother-in-law and I are quite satisfied with it, but the money is not enough. As a wealthy man, would you like to support your sister?" The second sister half-squinted her eyes and looked at Liu Qingshan teasingly.

"Are you kidding me? You two can't afford a house with a courtyard? If you really need money, go find Xiaoyu. All the money in the family is with her!"

Liu Qingshan was full of disbelief. His second sister's family could all earn money, and his parents-in-law had long since handed over the financial power to her. How could she be without money?

"Don't listen to your sister's nonsense. We do have enough money to buy a house, but we won't have much left after buying it." My brother-in-law explained with a smile.

"Why are you being polite to him? The house is enough, but aren't you planning to take back those things from those years?" The second sister gently nudged her brother-in-law with her elbow and complained.

"Brother-in-law, what's going on? Are you really short of money? I'll give you whatever you need first!" Liu Qingshan also understood the meaning of his sister's words and asked hurriedly.

"It's nothing. I can buy the house, but the landlord said he wants to sell the house as well as the furniture and antiques inside. I've asked someone to take a look, and there's really nothing wrong with the things. I'm still a little short of the money to buy it all!"

My brother-in-law sounded a little embarrassed, and he probably didn't want to talk to Liu Qingshan in the first place.

"Brother-in-law, is there anything wrong with the house? It can't be a trap set by someone, right?" Liu Qingshan asked cautiously!

"That's not the case. I've known the landlord for a long time, and he originally wanted to give me a discount. But I really can't take advantage of him for these things, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it clearly later!" My brother-in-law explained with a smile!

"That's right. I'll ask Xiaoyu to get you some money so you can get things done quickly." After Liu Qingshan finished speaking, he stood up and called Feng Yu out from the west room.

"What are you two talking about? Your sister and brother-in-law are here, but you two don't come out!" Liu Qingshan was full of confusion. These two mother and daughter were not such ignorant people!

"Are you chatting with your daughter? When did your brother-in-law and the others come over? I didn't even notice."

"I'm here to give my parents holiday gifts. Go back to your room and give my sister and her family two thousand yuan. They've found a house they'd like to buy, but they don't have enough money."

Feng Yu didn't ask a single question and went straight back to the house to get the money.

After a few minutes, Liu Qingshan and Feng Yu sat at the table again.

"I was chatting with Xixi just now and didn't see you coming. You don't even know how to shout!" Feng Yu glanced at Liu Qingshan with some reproach!

"Okay, okay, it's my fault! Here's two thousand yuan. You keep it. Is it enough? If not, I'll take some more." Liu Qingshan handed two stacks of money to his brother-in-law.

"That's enough, that's enough. We don't need that much. A thousand dollars is enough!" my brother-in-law explained quickly.

"Take it. After buying the house, you still have to clean it up. The family also has to make a living. You can't do without money on hand!" Feng Yu stopped him with a smile!

"You're welcome, just keep it! Don't be so formal with us, we're all family!"

My sister and brother-in-law, let alone borrowing the money, he would be willing to give it to me even if it was given to me! In the past, when pork was in short supply, my sister and brother-in-law always thought about home. When Xiaoyu was pregnant with several children, my sister and brother-in-law sent big bones home every now and then. Who in the courtyard would not envy them!

"Okay, then I won't be polite to you!"

The elder sister put the money into her bag and turned to look at Feng Yu and Xixi! "What are you two talking about in the room? We have been here for such a long time, and you didn't know?"

It would have been better if my sister didn’t say this, but when she did, Xixi’s face turned red.

"What's going on? Xixi, why are you blushing?" The second sister was even more confused.

"Aunt! I won't talk to you anymore!" Xixi turned her head and went back to the house.

"What's going on?" Liu Qingshan looked at Feng Yu strangely.

"What else could it be? Isn't it just that Niu Niu often brings food to your daughter? I just wanted to ask, what are the intentions between the two of them?" Feng Yu explained with a smile!

After listening to this, Liu Qingshan immediately understood what was going on. He smiled and said, "I see. It seems like there is something wrong with our Xixi."

At this time, the elder sister also smiled and said: "I think these two children are quite a good match, and they are childhood sweethearts who know each other very well. If they can succeed, it will be a wonderful thing."

Liu Qingshan nodded in agreement. He thought to himself, he knew Niu Niu, a good kid, and he was also very nice to Xixi. If they could really get together, it would be a good story.

"What did Xixi say? What does she mean to Niu Niu?" Liu Qingshan looked at Feng Yu and asked seriously.

"Yes, it depends on Xixi's opinion and the child's consent!" said my sister.

Feng Yu looked at them with a smile, and then said, "Xixi is very satisfied with Niu Niu, but the relationship has not been confirmed yet. We have to wait until Niu Niu graduates and comes back. We can't get married now!"

Liu Qingshan also understood that the matter between Xixi and Niu Niu was probably settled. All he had to do was wait until Niu Niu's job got stable.
