Rebirth of Siheyuan: Starting from escaping famine in 42

Just as Li Qingshan was about to leave, Yan Bugui stopped him and asked, "Uncle, is there anything else?"

Yan Bugui pushed his glasses and said with a smile: "Qingshan, the steel mill is expanding its recruitment, so what about your security department?"

After hearing this, Li Qingshan also knew what Yan Bugui was thinking, and said, "Third Uncle, it's not that I won't help you. Our security department is recruiting people directly from the armed forces this time."

"We are all veterans, so I can't help you with this."

"If you don't believe me, ask Uncle He from the Intermediate Court. The secretary of the steel mill specifically said this at a meeting today."

"It's not that I don't want to help you, I'm sorry, Third Uncle."

After Yan Bugui heard this, his eyelids drooped immediately, and he murmured in disappointment: "It's okay, it's okay."

Li Qingshan felt sorry for Yan Bugui's lost look, so he said to him, "Third Uncle, if you can't do it, go find First Uncle and Second Uncle. They are both senior technicians in the factory, and they will definitely have a say in recruiting workers."

"Okay, I understand, Qingshan, thank you."

After saying this, Yan Bugui hurriedly ran towards the central courtyard.

Li Qingshan saw Yan Bugui running away, shook his head helplessly, and went home to eat.

Li Qingshan and his family had just finished dinner when they heard shouts coming from the door.

"Brother Qingshan, Brother Qingshan."

After hearing this, Li Qingshan walked out of the kitchen and came to the front door of the courtyard. He opened the door and saw Yan Jiecheng. He smiled and asked, "Jiecheng, have you eaten?"

As he spoke, he took out a cigarette and handed it to him.

Yan Jiecheng took the cigarette with a smile, and skillfully used a match to light the cigarettes for Li Qingshan and himself, then said with a smile: "I just ate, Brother Qingshan, there will be a meeting in the Central Court later, you and sister-in-law should go quickly!"

"I still have to inform other residents. Brother Qingshan, I'm leaving first."

As soon as Yan Jiecheng finished speaking, he turned and ran away.

Li Qingshan shook his head. He knew what the meeting would be about. It was about the steel mill's expansion.

The courtyard door was not closed, so he turned around and went back to the house to get a bench for the meeting.

Qin Huairu asked Li Qingshan who had just entered the room: "Qingshan, who is it?"

Li Qingshan said, "It was Yan Jiecheng. He said he would go to the Intermediate Court for a meeting later."

Qin Huairu asked again: "What kind of meeting is this? There's no one messing around in the courtyard?"

Li Qingshan curled his lips and said, "Isn't it about the steel mill's expansion? Recruitment will only start on the 10th of next month. Isn't it too early to hold a meeting now?"

Qin Huairu said: "Let's just go and watch the show."

"interesting!"

Li Qingshan looked at Qin Huairu speechlessly, then picked up a small stool, picked up his eldest son Li Weidong, and said to Qin Huairu: "Let's go! Huairu, otherwise it will be too late, and the second uncle will have a nose that is not a nose, and eyes that are not eyes."

"Ha ha!"

Qin Huairu laughed and picked up Li Weiqiang, took a bench, and followed Li Qingshan to the central courtyard.

As soon as I walked into the middle courtyard, I heard He Yuzhu's voice.

He Yuzhu waved his hand and shouted, "Qingshan, Sister Qin, this way."

Li Qingshan walked over to He Yuzhu and smoked a cigarette, then said unhappily, "Why are you yelling? You have to call me sister-in-law, don't you understand?"

"What sister-in-law? We are the same age."

He Yuzhu took Li Weidong and teased him with a smile.

Seeing that He Yuzhu liked children very much, Li Qingshan smiled and said, "Zhuzi, if you like children so much, why don't you have one?"

Hearing this, He Yuzhu turned around and saw that the neighbors in the yard didn't notice them. He leaned closer to Li Qingshan and whispered, "Qingshan, my wife is pregnant?"

After hearing this, Li Qingshan first looked at Wu Fang, who was chatting with his wife, in surprise. Seeing that her belly was not noticeable, he could not help but ask He Yuzhu, "Zhuzi, when did it happen?"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "It was just checked last week. The doctor said Xiaofang is almost two months pregnant."

Li Qingshan gently touched He Yuzhu's shoulder and said congratulatoryly, "Congratulations! Zhuzi, you're going to be a father soon."

"Thank you, Qingshan."

He Yuzhu smiled foolishly for a while, then said to Li Qingshan: "Qingshan, don't tell anyone about my wife's pregnancy."

When Li Qingshan heard what He Yuzhu said, he asked him in confusion: "Zhuzi, why is this happening?"

He Yuzhu took out a cigarette and handed it to Li Qingshan, then lit one for himself and shook his head, saying, "I don't know either. I heard it from my mother."

"My mother said that women shouldn't tell others about their pregnancy in advance, otherwise it will be unlucky. We have to wait three months before telling others!"

Hearing this, Li Qingshan took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Zhu Zi, isn't this feudal superstition? Do you believe this too?"

He Yuzhu glanced at Li Qingshan, and said with a hint of mystery in his tone: "Qingshan, you don't know this!"

"Some of the older generation's sayings are very effective."

After hearing this, Li Qingshan took a puff of his cigarette and looked at He Yuzhu carefully for a while.

He Yuzhu felt a little numb from Li Qingshan's stare, and asked, "Qingshan, why are you looking at me like that?"

Li Qingshan replied angrily: "Your wife is pregnant, you can't tell anyone else, so why are you telling me?"

He Yuzhu waved his hands and said nonchalantly: "What's the big deal! What's the relationship between us? We are like iron magnets."

"Qingshan, don't worry, it's okay."

Li Qingshan looked at the silly He Yuzhu, not knowing what to say to him, so he could only nod and say, "You have the final say."

"hey-hey!"

He Yuzhu smiled foolishly and then asked, "Qingshan, what name should I give my child?"

Li Qingshan said in surprise: "Zhu Zi, you don't even know whether it's a boy or a girl, how are you going to name it?"

He Yuzhu said nonchalantly, "What's the big deal? Can't we just give one to each man and woman?"

After hearing this, Li Qingshan shook his head speechlessly, feeling that He Yuzhu was not sensible at all, so he nodded and said, "Okay! Zhuzi, according to your family's generational hierarchy, look up the name behind it in the dictionary and find a better one."

When He Yuzhu heard this, he thought, that's right. If he can't figure it out, he can look it up in the dictionary! As for the seniority, he will go home and ask his father after the meeting.

After thinking about it, He Yuzhu smiled and said, "I know, Qingshan, I'll treat you to a drink when I have time."

Li Qingshan threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, nodded and said: "Well, I'll wait. If you need any help, you can come to me at any time."

After hearing this, He Yuzhu reached out and gently patted Li Qingshan on the shoulder, and said with an impolite smile: "Well, can I be polite with you?"

"Qingshan, don't worry, I will ask you for help, just don't ignore me when the time comes."

Li Qingshan replied: "It depends on what you say."

From the corner of his eye, he saw Liu Haizhong in the backyard leading his family slowly to the middle courtyard. He nudged He Yuzhu with his elbow and said, "Don't talk for now. The second uncle is here and the meeting is about to start."

"cut."

He Yuzhu glanced at Liu Haizhong indifferently, but still said nothing.
