Comfortable life in Siheyuan

I drank yesterday and slept in the small room until dawn.

The kang in this room is still a bit hard, and the mattress is a bit thin in summer, so my back and waist ache after sleeping all night.

After getting up and seeing that his wife and children were still asleep, Liu Qingshan tiptoed out to wash up.

There are now a lot of different vegetables planted in the yard, including cucumbers, beans, green peppers, onions, and loofahs.

After brushing his teeth, Liu Qingshan walked around the yard again.

I picked up a broom and cleaned for a while. Then I went back to the house to look at the paintings I collected last year. I felt so happy.

After a while, my wife got up.

Liu Qingshan was busy delivering breakfast. Xixi was still sleeping. She must have been tossing and turning all night.

"You were sleeping soundly when you came back yesterday. I called you several times but you didn't hear me. This little guy kept me busy all night." Feng Yu complained while eating breakfast.

"Let her sleep less during the day so that she can be quiet at night. Otherwise, the adults won't be able to bear it if she keeps tossing and turning like this." Liu Qingshan also said.

"Are my sister and her whole family coming today? Then go buy some wine and food. Go ask mom if there's anything else the family needs."

"Okay, I'll go and ask."

As he said this, Liu Qingshan cleaned up the dishes and went to his parents' room.

"Mom, my sister and her family are coming over today. I'll go buy anything the family needs."

Liu's mother was clearing the table, collecting the dishes that had just been eaten. She took the dishes from Liu Qingshan's hand and said, "We have enough vegetables at home, but we have run out of meat and vegetables, and we still have a few eggs."

"I guess my sister will bring some meat, so I'll go buy some wine!" Liu Qingshan said after thinking for a while.

Since my sister started working at the meat processing factory, she would bring some every time she came back, sometimes fat meat, sometimes offal. Because the Liu family was envied by many people in the compound.

With that, Liu Qingshan went home to get the wine ticket, then went to the nearby supply and marketing cooperative and bought two bottles of wine.

As soon as I entered the gate, I ran into the third uncle.

Yan Bugui stared at the bottle of wine in Liu Qingshan's hand so hard that he could hardly pull it out.

"Qingshan, do you have guests coming to your house? You bought two bottles of wine at once. This family is so rich." The third uncle sighed.

"No, my sister, brother-in-law and their family are coming back today, so I'm going to prepare some wine." Liu Qingshan replied without stopping.

Don't talk too much with Uncle Three, he really wants to take advantage of you.

Passing by the central courtyard, Liu Qingshan saw Qin Huairu washing clothes by the sink and nodded without saying much.

Qin Huairu looked at Liu Qingshan's back, her eyes full of envy, then she sighed and lowered her head.

After returning home, Liu Qingshan put the wine on the table.

He went back and took his daughter out, and started walking around the yard.

Lou Xiao'e next door is going home!

"Qingshan, Qingshan, you are taking care of the child today!" said Lou Xiao'e.

"Isn't this a time to rest? What about you? Go and find Xiaoyu!" Liu Qingshan said to Lou Xiaoe who was doing nothing.

"No, I have something to ask you today." Lou Xiao'e said and motioned Liu Qingshan to go back to the yard.

Liu Qingshan carried the child and followed Lou Xiaoe back home.

"Didn't you go out with the child? Why are you back so soon?" Feng Yu said to Liu Qingshan who came in.

Just as he finished speaking, Lou Xiao'e walked in.

"I went to ask Qingshan something, so I asked him to come back." Lou Xiao'e said to Feng Yu.

"Then you guys chat, and give the child to me." Feng Yu took the child and walked back to the room.

"It's okay, Xiaoyu, you can also give me some advice.

"Qingshan, Xiaoyu, my dad arranged for me to go to the hospital a few days ago and I had a check-up. The doctor said there was nothing wrong with my body. What do you think I should do?" Lou Xiao'e said worriedly.

"Isn't it a good thing to have no problem? This means that not having children is not your problem. Tell me how much dirty water has been thrown at you during this period of time?" Feng Yu continued.

"Yes, there is nothing wrong with you. You should take Xu Damao to get checked as soon as possible to see how he is doing. If there is a problem, treat him and don't delay."

The name Xu Damao was given, Damao Damao, which is really ironic.

"By the way, he has been out for a few days. Hasn't he come back yet?" Feng Yu asked.

"It's been a week. I guess he will be back in the next two days." Lou Xiao'e was also a little absent-minded, and no one knew what she was thinking about.

"Then why don't you wait for him to come back and take him to the hospital, then everything will be clear, right?" Feng Yu continued.

"What should I do if Damao can't have children?" Lou Xiao'e asked worriedly.

"It depends on you. There's an old man in our yard who doesn't have any children. You know how his family lives! The old couple has been worrying about their retirement. If you don't have any children, you can adopt one!"

"So what do you think we should do?"

"Let's wait until Xu Damao comes back. There's still a long time to go. You've only been here for a few years!" Liu Qingshan said.

Lou Xiao'e wanted to say something but was interrupted by Feng Yu.

"Sister E, you should be happy. There is nothing wrong with your health. You can choose to divorce and remarry, or adopt a child without divorce. You have the right to choose, and this is a good thing."

"Yes, you are right, this is a good thing." Lou Xiao'e hugged Xixi and said, "I have a godson and a daughter! What's there to be afraid of?"

Seeing that Lou Xiao'e was still in a bad mood, Liu Qingshan did not persuade her anymore. Some things still depended on her herself.

After a while, my sister's voice came from the door.

"Xixi, your aunt is here, Liu Qingshan, come out and get her things." As he spoke, he started yelling.

Liu Qingshan quickly got up and went out to greet his sister.

As soon as he walked out of the yard, his sister stuffed the things into his hands.

Wow! That’s quite a lot.

"Sister, how much did you bring?" Liu Qingshan looked at the bag in his hand in surprise, and it felt heavy in his hand.

"I brought you two pig's trotters, and the rest are just some bones. I asked the chef to process them. You can find a cellar to store them to prevent them from going bad." My sister said carelessly.

"Sister, you need to change your temper. You are so impetuous. Don't scare your brother-in-law." Liu Qingshan joked as he looked at his sister who was sweating profusely.

"Little San, don't talk nonsense. Your sister and I are fine. Don't try to sow discord between us." The brother-in-law hurriedly came out to dispel the rumors.

Just then, my parents came over, and Lou Xiao'e also came over holding Xixi.

"Oh, my little darling, do you miss your aunt?" As he said this, he took Xixi from Lou Xiao'e and walked into the room.

Liu Qingshan and his brother-in-law parked the car in the yard, and the two chatted.

Liu's father and mother also went to look for their sister, carrying something in their arms.

"Is my brother-in-law busy at work recently?"

"It's okay. We only have so much stuff, so it doesn't matter whether we're busy or not."

"Have you collected any modern calligraphy and paintings recently?"

"Not recently, but I collected a few last year."

"Now our country is getting better and better, and these will definitely be a valuable asset in the future."

"Then why don't you collect antiques? As the old saying goes, gold comes in troubled times, and antiques come in prosperous times. Shouldn't you collect some antiques?" my brother-in-law asked curiously.

"I just don't understand. The price is cheap, I really plan to stock up some. I'll find a place to store them for a few decades, and then take them out in the future, so my children and grandchildren won't have to worry about wearing them."

"That's right. I don't think the price of this thing will go up in a short time. The country is just starting out and is far from its heyday." My brother-in-law still has vision and looks at the long term.

"If you have a way in the future, call me and we can go buy a few things together." Liu Qingshan said.

"Okay, Qingshan, your yard is really nice. Look at this season, the yard is full of food." My brother-in-law sighed.

"They are all homemade. My mom and Xiaoyu made them. When you leave, bring some back for your parents to try."

"Okay, I won't be polite with you either."
