Comfortable life in Siheyuan

The three men rode their bikes and as soon as they entered the gate of the courtyard, they shocked the people in the front yard.

The third uncle asked first: "Wow! Why did you buy so many clothes? They are all cotton-padded clothes. How much did they cost?"

"Qingshan is rich, what do these clothes mean to him? Am I right?"

"Even if you have money, you can't be so extravagant and wasteful!" the third uncle muttered in a low voice.

"Uncle, these clothes are prepared for my daughter-in-law. Siqi will come back to hold the wedding during the Chinese New Year. As a mother-in-law, I must prepare some new clothes!" Feng Yu was a little unhappy, but she couldn't get angry.

"Third Grandpa, these two items are ours. We can't waste them!" Xixi followed suit and started to make up for it.

"Siqi is coming back to get married. That's a happy event! Thank you and congratulations!" The third uncle ignored what Xixi said and congratulated Liu Qingshan directly.

"Thank you, Third Uncle! Let's have a drink together at the wedding later!" Liu Qingshan went back with a smile.

Feng Yu put all the clothes into the closet, then tidied up her son's room before coming out.

Liu Qingshan stood in the yard, looking at the prepared wedding room in a daze.

In a blink of an eye, his son was about to get married. Even if he was young at heart, he couldn't help but feel a little old.

I recall the time when my children were born, and it seems to be still vivid in my mind. But in the blink of an eye, time has already passed.

"What are you thinking about?" Feng Yu walked out of the house, looked at the dazed Liu Qingshan, and asked puzzledly.

"I was wondering if we are getting old?" Liu Qingshan came back to his senses and looked at her with a smile on his face!

"You're old so be it. Who can stay young forever? Then you'll become an old monster!" Feng glanced at him in reproach.

"That's right! Who can stay young?"

The news that Liu Siqi was coming back to get married during the Spring Festival soon spread throughout the courtyard. People in the courtyard were saying all kinds of things.

"You are talking about Liu Qingshan. His conditions are pretty good. But his two sons are not around. He is almost like the second uncle, and the second uncle has Liu Guangtian." said a gossipy old neighbor!

"Who says it's not true? The eldest son hasn't been back for many years? I heard that he came back to get married and then he has to leave again. How can this be the end? Let's not talk about the third son. He has fled to Hong Kong. We don't know if he will come back in the future."

"It's not easy for Liu Qingshan and his wife to have a grandson!"

The third aunt was a little unhappy when she heard the people in the other courtyard say this. "The girl and her son-in-law are both here, and this son-in-law is also half a son!"

"That's just saying it in a nice way. After all, this son-in-law is not a real son. He can't even be relied upon to break pots and banners. What can he do?"

The second aunt was also speechless when she heard this. She thought to herself, "Are you jealous of other people's children's success?"

The gossiper also added, "The daughter, son-in-law, and grandson are all members of the He family. His family's incense still depends on these two sons."

"What you said is a bit exaggerated. Liu Qingshan and his wife are only in their forties now. They haven't suffered much and still look young. They seem to be in their thirties. Why should they worry about the incense?" The second aunt finally couldn't resist complaining.

"That's right. His eldest brother has several sons. The incense of his Liu family will never be cut off."

The two ladies left immediately after they finished speaking.

Although they often say bad things about others, listening to others talking about what is happening in their own courtyard is another matter.

... There will always be people talking about similar statements. But Liu Qingshan doesn't care. He doesn't have time to deal with these things now.

Liu Qingshan took advantage of the year-end free time and started delivering invitations on his bicycle.

This time it’s his own family matter, so Liu Qingshan has to go there in person.

It was easy to deal with the other people, as they had to send their gifts, but Xu Damao was the only one who gave him a hard time.

You say you don't want to send him off, but we are neighbors who you have lived with for so many years, and we see each other every day. Moreover, you have watched your son grow up, so it would be inappropriate not to send him off.

You said send him, everyone knows Xu Damao's situation, it's a bit uncomfortable to bring him here. And now he doesn't live here, so it's understandable not to send him.

Liu Qingshan thought about it for a while but couldn't figure it out, so he simply wrote an invitation and put it in his bag. As for whether to send it or not, he would decide when the time comes.

There was no need to send invitations to the neighbors in the courtyard. They were all invited directly to their homes. Even Nan Yi and his wife did not send invitations, but just gave a verbal notice.

Liu Qingshan worked hard all day and finally sent out all the invitations. He pedaled his bicycle so hard that it almost smoked.

Textile factories, food factories, and box factories. The steel mill has moved, and the invitations were sent directly to the family housing.

Liu Qingshan plans to go to the school to get the invitation tomorrow.

When he came back, there were already some ice chips on Liu Qingshan's forehead.

He was still hesitating about Xu Damao's invitation and didn't send it directly.

But sometimes, this person really doesn't need to be talked about.

Liu Qingshan had just turned in from Nanluoguxiang when he ran into Xu Damao.

"Qingshan, you should not pay attention when riding a bike. It's only because your clothes are thick, otherwise I would definitely learn how to scam people like Aunt Jia!" Xu Damao dodged but was still scratched by the car.

"How would I know you were hiding here? If I knew, I would ride faster!" Liu Qingshan said unhappily.

"Where have you been? Your nose is red from the cold!"

Liu Qingshan didn't lie and said directly: "I'm going to send out invitations! Siqi is coming back for the New Year to get married. The date is set for the sixth day of the first lunar month."

"Siqi is getting married, is this true? Hasn't the child been in school all the time?" Xu Damao was surprised. This Liu Siqi is several years younger than his Erhu!

"He graduated a long time ago and is still staying in school. His wife was introduced to him by a tutor at school!" Liu Qingshan explained.

"Hey! That's not right! Qingshan, we have been neighbors for so many years. I watched your son grow up, so it would be inappropriate for you not to send the invitation to me!" Xu Damao also remembered it at this time and asked quickly.

"You don't even live in our hospital anymore, why are you joining in on all this fun?" Liu Qingshan joked with a smile.

"You're wrong! The child has called me uncle since he was young. Of course I have to go to such a happy event! Besides, I'm not going empty-handed." Xu Damao looked at Liu Qingshan with a hint of blame.

Liu Qingshan had no choice but to take out his invitation from his bag, complaining, "Why are you in such a hurry? I've already prepared the invitation, how can I not send it to you?" (How can I!)

"I said that based on our relationship, you, Liu Qingshan, would not do such a thing!"

Xu Damao didn't really need this meal, it was just that the timing of the Liu family's wedding was perfect, right during the Chinese New Year.

Xu Damao has been busy for a year and he must show off in front of his old neighbors!
