Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

Having lived in the courtyard for so many years, Ding Qiunan was well aware of Xu Damao's abilities.

Xiao Shan smiled and said, "People strive to rise higher, water flows downhill! There's nothing wrong with his thinking. But now is not a good time to climb up!"

Looking at Xiao Jingyan and her brother in the room, Xiao Shan said to Xiao Jingyan, "Jingyan, take your sister to your room to listen to the radio. I have something to talk to your mother about."

Now Xiao Jingyan sleeps in a room by herself, while Xiao Jingshu still sleeps with Xiao Shan and his wife.

Xiao Jingyan was obedient; she took the radio and her younger sister and went to her room.

Half an hour later, Ding Qiunan, lying in Xiao Shan's arms, asked, "What are your plans now? You're not really planning to stay home and rest all the time, are you?"

"Don't worry, we're not short of money. Even if we stay home, we'll have enough to raise both kids!" Xiao Shan said, looking down at Ding Qiunan in his arms. "Besides, I'm planning to go to Hong Kong after resting at home for a while! Once I'm settled there, I'll bring you both over!"

A week later, Xiao Shan completed all the handover work and successfully resigned from Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill!

When Xiao Shan got home, he found Ding Qiunan sewing clothes for the child.

"came back!"

"Yes, I'm back!" Xiao Shan nodded. "I've finished everything today, and starting tomorrow, I can officially take a break!"

Ding Qiunan chuckled and said, "Then shouldn't I congratulate you?"

"No need for congratulations!" Xiao Shan sat down on the sofa, waved his hand, and said, "Let's go to Fengzeyuan for a meal today, as a way of celebrating my regaining my freedom!"

Ding Qiunan shook her head: "Okay, whatever you say."

In the evening, Xiao Shan and Ding Qiunan each pushed a bicycle and took their two children out of their house.

When I passed by the Intermediate People's Court, He Yuzhu was playing with his child in the yard!

Seeing Xiao Shan and his family preparing to go out, He Yuzhu asked curiously, "Xiao Shan, are you going out so late?"

"Yeah, it's nice to go out for a walk and let the kids cool off."

He Yuzhu nodded in deep agreement: "The weather is indeed getting hotter and hotter."

When the family arrived at Fengzeyuan, Xiaoshan ordered four signature dishes and four bowls of rice before they began to feast.

"How is it? It tastes good, right? This is much better than roast duck. Roast duck is too greasy after a while." Xiao Shan said to Ding Qiunan while eating, "By the way, have you thought about what to buy when we go to your father-in-law's house tomorrow?"

After thinking for a moment, Ding Qiunan said, "How about we buy two roast ducks? That would be presentable."

"Alright, I'll go to Quanjude tomorrow morning and have the chef slice it for me. But the roast duck won't taste as good as it does at my father-in-law's. I'll also buy some snacks from the department store while I'm at it." Xiao Shan had no objections to Ding Qiunan's idea.

Ding Qiunan shook her head and said, "Roast duck is enough. If we buy too much, Mom and Dad will say we don't know how to manage our money."

"Alright!" Since Ding Qiunan had said so, Xiao Shan couldn't say anything more.

That morning, Xiao Shan took a boxed lunch to Quanjude.

Ask the chef to slice the roast duck and pack it into a lunchbox, and pack the sauce separately into a small box.

With the sliced ​​roast duck in hand, Xiao Shan returned home, took Ding Qiunan and their two children, and headed to his father-in-law's house.

It's the weekend today, and Ding Qiunan's younger brother is here too.

"Sister, brother-in-law, you're here!" Ding Qiunan's younger brother greeted Xiao Shan and Ding Qiunan politely.

While exchanging pleasantries, Ding Qiunan's younger brother invited Xiao Shan and the others into the house to sit down.

During lunch, Feng Chunlian looked at Xiao Shan with some curiosity and asked, "Xiao Shan, why did you suddenly quit your job? You had a good job and earned quite a bit every month."

"I just don't want to do this anymore, I want a change of scenery," Xiao Shan replied with a smile.

Hearing Xiao Shan's concise answer, Feng Chunlian didn't know how to continue asking questions.

At this moment, Ding Dade spoke up: "Why ask so many questions? Since the children have made their decision, they must have their reasons!"

Chapter 555, Unwilling to Pay Attention to Yi Zhonghai's Joke! (Please Subscribe!)

The Xiaoshan couple stayed at the mother-in-law's house until the afternoon before taking their child home.

As soon as Xiao Shan entered the courtyard, Yan Bugui stopped him at the door: "Xiao Shan, your third uncle has something to ask you."

Xiao Shan told Ding Qiunan to take the child back first, then looked at Yan Bugui and smiled, "Third Uncle, ask whatever you need!"

Yan Bugui lowered his voice and said, "Xiaoshan, do you think I can earn some royalties if I write articles for a publishing house now?"

Yan Bugui has now retired from the staff primary school. Although he receives a pension, he still wants to earn some money from other sources.

After all, Yan Jiekuang is getting older and needs money to get married and have children!

"Uncle, all I can say is that it's well-written. If a publishing house uses it, it will definitely make money!" Xiao Shan said with a smile, looking at Yan Bugui who was looking at him expectantly. "Otherwise, it won't make any money!"

Yan Bugui nodded: "So, as long as you write well, you can make money!"

“That’s right!” Xiao Shan nodded slightly. “As long as you write well and don’t involve any sensitive events or people, making a little money is not a problem.”

After exchanging a few words with Yan Bugui, Xiao Shan stepped into the Intermediate People's Court.

At this moment, Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi were busy in the middle courtyard, their smiles impossible to hide.

Yi Zhonghai was also busy running around, but the smile on his face looked somewhat forced.

Xiao Shan knew in his heart that Bang Geng was probably coming back.

After all, Bang Geng had sent word home two months earlier that he would be back soon.

Although he knew the truth, Xiao Shan pretended not to understand: "Aunt Jia, sister-in-law, what's making you so happy today?"

Madam Jia Zhang smiled and said to Xiao Shan, "My eldest grandson is back today. I don't know how much hardship he's suffered these past few years! Today we have to tidy him up and cook him a good meal."

"I see, then we should definitely be happy!" Xiao Shan said with a smile.

Just then, a resident of the courtyard ran into the yard: "They're back! Several people have returned."

Qin Huairu, Xiao Dang, and Huaihua immediately ran towards the door.

Upon arriving at the door, Qin Huairu and the others immediately spotted the skinny, curly-haired Bang Geng.

Banggeng was holding the hand of a girl, who was obviously the girl he had found in the countryside.

Qin Huairu's smiling face suddenly froze.

Because this was completely unexpected for her.

Moreover, Bang Geng hadn't told her beforehand, so she thought Bang Geng had come back alone!

Their housing situation was already tight. Although the small house in Yi Zhonghai's house that Bang Geng used to live in had been cleaned up, it was only big enough for Bang Geng to live in by herself.

Now that another girl has returned, where will she stay?

I can't possibly sleep with Xiaodang and Huaihua, can I?

These questions flashed through Qin Huairu's mind.

"Bang Geng, you've suffered so much these past years!" Qin Huairu went up to Bang Geng and looked him over carefully; he was indeed thinner than before.

The woman next to him kept giving Bang Geng meaningful glances.

After receiving a meaningful look from the woman, Banggeng quickly said to Qin Huairu, "Mom, I've been doing alright these past few years. This is my girlfriend, Xiuying, from Zhoujia Village. I'm so grateful to Xiuying for helping me all these years in Zhoujia Village, otherwise I don't know if I would have survived!"

The stick-shaped object and Zhou Xiuying's little actions naturally did not escape Qin Huairu's notice.

However, Qin Huairu simply nodded without showing any emotion and said, "What a lovely girl, so beautiful. Come home with me, everything is ready."

Xiao Dang and Huaihua also gathered around. Huaihua said to Banggeng, "Brother, you look much thinner! It's been years since we last saw you. My sister and I have missed you so much."

Bang Geng no longer has the same enthusiasm for his two younger sisters as he did when he was a child.

So Banggeng simply replied, "It's been a few years, and you've all grown up."

Back at the Jia family home, dishes were already laid out on the table.

Zhou Xiuying looked around the Jia family's house, feeling somewhat disappointed.

This isn't even as nice as her house in the countryside!

However, the thought that this was also an opportunity to go to the city made Zhou Xiuying feel relieved.

After seeing Banggeng and Zhou Xiuying sit down, Yi Zhonghai looked at Banggeng and asked, "Banggeng, how's life in the countryside? Is it very hard?"

"Hmm, it's alright!" Banggeng replied perfunctorily without even looking up.

Hearing that Bang Geng didn't even call him "godfather" and spoke in a very perfunctory manner, Yi Zhonghai's heart sank.

The old lady was right all those years ago; Banggeng is a hopeless case!

Qin Huairu had been observing Yi Zhonghai's expression. When she saw that Yi Zhonghai's face turned ugly, Qin Huairu quickly stepped in to smooth things over.

Qin Huairu knew very well that Bang Geng was in dire need of money right now, and without Yi Zhonghai, the family simply couldn't survive.

Qin Huairu smiled and said to Zhou Xiuying, "Xiuying, let me introduce you. This is Banggeng's godfather. He used to be very good to Banggeng and our Jia family."

"Hello, Grandpa!" Zhou Xiuying greeted Yi Zhonghai sweetly.

Seeing Zhou Xiuying like this, Yi Zhonghai nodded in satisfaction: "Good, good, this girl looks great! Bang Geng is lucky to have found you."

As he spoke, Yi Zhonghai took out ten yuan from his pocket and handed it over: "This is your first time here, and your godfather didn't prepare anything. Take this ten yuan and buy whatever you want."

"Thank you, Grandpa!" Zhou Xiuying's smile became even more sincere as she looked at the ten yuan that Yi Zhonghai handed her.

However, Bang Geng remained unresponsive to Yi Zhonghai and didn't even crack a smile.

Yi Zhonghai ate a couple of bites of rice, then lost interest in eating more.

Since Banggeng didn't want to talk to him, he didn't need to keep trying: "Huairu, I have something to do, I'll be going now."

Qin Huairu quickly stood up and said, "Uncle, please finish your meal before you leave."

"No, thank you." Yi Zhonghai said, then got up and left.

Qin Huairu glared at Banggeng, but Banggeng pretended not to see it.

Because Zhou Xiuying was there, Qin Huairu, out of consideration for his feelings, did not scold him.

Soon it was night.

Qin Huairu said to Xiaodang and Huaihua, "Xiaodang, Huaihua, you two go to sleep in Uncle Yi's small house, and let Xiuying sleep on the kang (heated brick bed)."

Seeing Xiaodang and Huaihua reluctantly carrying their blankets out, Qin Huairu said to Banggeng, "Banggeng, make your own bed in the outer room."

In Xiaoshan's home, a family of four was listening to the radio in the bedroom of Xiaoshan and his wife.

Xiao Shan smiled and said to Ding Qiunan, "Bang Geng came home today, and he brought a girlfriend. The Jia family is going to be quite lively now."

"Bang Geng? Has he come back from the countryside?" Ding Qiunan asked Xiao Shan with some curiosity. "I remember Bang Geng was quite cute when he was little, but he always had a gloomy face after he grew up."

Xiao Shan nodded and said, "Yes, I don't know where he learned this habit from! But what I can say for sure is that he didn't learn any of his father's skills! Back then, Brother Dongxu was quite capable, but the Jia family is getting worse with each generation."

With a sigh, Xiao Shan said with some emotion, "The whole family was already crammed into one small room, and now he's brought his girlfriend home. I really don't know how they're going to manage..."

"Alright, let's not talk about these things in front of the children!" Ding Qiunan interrupted Xiao Shan directly.

Xiao Shan smiled and nodded, then said to Xiao Jingyan, who was listening to the radio, "Son, hurry up and wash your feet and go to bed early. Tomorrow, Dad will take you to catch rabbits outside the city!"

"Really? Dad!" Xiao Jingyan asked Xiao Shan with sparkling eyes.

Xiao Shan nodded slightly and said, "Of course it's true!"

At this moment, Xiao Jingshu, who was standing to the side, was unhappy and pulled Xiao Shan's hand, saying, "Dad, I want to go too! I want to catch rabbits too!"

Xiao Shan ruffled Xiao Jing Shu's hair and said with a smile, "You can go if you want, but you'll have to get up early tomorrow! Don't blame me if you sleep in!"

"Yes, yes! I'll definitely get up early tomorrow!" Xiao Jingshu nodded her little head vigorously.

After watching Xiao Jingyan leave, Ding Qiunan looked at Xiao Shan and asked, "Why did you suddenly decide to take your son to catch rabbits?"

"It's been years since I've gone rabbit hunting. Now that I have some free time, I'm taking my son to experience it!" Xiao Shan said with a smile. "Back in the day, your husband relied on this rabbit-catching skill to gradually improve our lives!"

Hearing Xiao Shan say that, Ding Qiunan also smiled.

Although she had never seen Xiao Shan catch rabbits back then, she had heard many aunts and sisters-in-law in the courtyard talk about Xiao Shan's glorious deeds back then.

The next morning at six o'clock, Xiao Shan woke Xiao Jingyan up.

After the two finished washing up, Xiao Shan went back into the room to call Xiao Jing Shu.

As a result, Xiao Jingshu slept like a little pig, snoring away.

Ding Qiunan waved her hand, signaling not to wake her daughter.
