Siheyuan: Five mouths waiting for food at the beginning

"Okay, just go. Don't try to fool people. You're just fooling yourself. It's up to you whether the child will learn well or not."

"Mr. Zhao, don't worry. I will definitely not fool you. You are right. This is for the good of the child. I will listen to you."

After saying that, several people walked out of the principal's office, and Zhao Shanhe heard words like "You little bastard, wait and see how I'm going to deal with you when I get home."

"Principal Wang, we are leaving too, taking our children with us. They will not study here anymore."

"Mr. Zhao, I'm really sorry about what happened yesterday. I really didn't know anything about it. Why don't you just read it here? I will pay attention next time."

"Principal Wang, please pay more attention to the school's spirit and discipline in the future."

After leaving the school gate, Zhao Shanhe asked, "An Tong, An Bai, you were wronged yesterday. What do you want to eat today? If there is anything else you want, tell me and I will agree to it."

"Dad, I want to eat roast duck, okay?"

"Just food?"

"Then I'll need the pencil case made by my grandfather."

"What about you, Amber?"

"I want peach cakes and figurine paintings"

"Okay, but you have to promise me one thing, and then I'll agree to buy it for you."

"what's up?"

"Of course I'll study hard, how about that?"

"Can we eat roast duck as long as we agree?"

"Of course,"

"agree"

"I agree"

Zhao Shanhe bought two roast ducks to take away, and also bought some peach cakes and picture books. There were several children at home, so he couldn't favor one over the other, so this was a good opportunity to improve the food.

In the afternoon, I went to the school under the Ministry of Industry and found the principal. Zhao Shanhe was also from the Ministry of Industry, and the principal gave him face. The transfer procedures were completed quickly, and I could go to school tomorrow.

In the evening, everyone ate roast duck and drank duck bone soup. Zhao Shanhe thought about Erya again. He was worried about her all day long.

"Er Ya, who sent you back?"

"Brother, you already know everything? I was planning to tell you in a few days."

"Please tell me more"

"He's our finance department's nephew, Sister Wang. Sister Wang introduced him to me. He's retired from the army and drives for government leaders. His name is Wang Ming. He's four years older than me and he's very nice to me."

"Okay, that's good. Bring him over so we can meet him sometime."

"Brother, you decide the date and I'll tell him."

"Then let's do it this weekend. Today is Tuesday, so we have plenty of time. What about you? Have you met his parents?"

"We met once, on a blind date, at their home, his parents were there, and he also had a sister and a brother who were both married."

"Girl, what do their parents do?" Aunt Chen asked

"His father works in the government, and his mother works in the library."

"That's good, then why is his brother married, but he's still not married at 24?"

"He was delayed in the army. He went to guard the border. The conditions there are tough and there are no girls. He has been here until now."

"Those who can guard the border are good men, that's right"

"There is one more thing I want to discuss with you. I plan to go to Shandong to visit my third brother and Uncle San and his family. What do you think?"

"I think we should go, too. That little bastard Xiaobao hasn't sent many letters since he was gone for so long. I don't know how he's doing." Aunt Chen said

"The last time grandma came, she was also talking about going back there. She was afraid that she would never have the chance to go back to visit again, so she wanted to go back one more time while she could still move." Qin Jingru added.

"Okay, then let's go this weekend after we meet Arya's boyfriend. The sooner the better. After a while, the weather will get cold again and it will be inconvenient to go out."

"There is one more thing we should talk about. Aunt Chen and Erya's savings over the years were taken away by the third brother. We can't go on without an explanation."

"I gave it to my son, and he calls me mom. Isn't it natural for a mother to give it to her son? What else do you need to explain?"

"That's right, big brother. We are all family. You have been the one supporting the whole family with the lion's share for so many years, and you still have no reason to explain."

"I'm the eldest, and they say an elder brother is like a father. Besides, the rest of my father's pension was used to buy things for me, and I spent the most. It's only right that I pay the most, but that money was saved by you, Erya and Aunt Chen, with great effort.

This is what I think. You can’t be too indulgent to the third brother. There should be a limit to helping him. When the third brother comes back, let him pay you back. 10 or 20 yuan a month. You must pay him back. Love always comes at a price. "

"I agree with what the eldest brother said. The third brother is an adult now and it's time for him to be independent. The family has responsibilities for him. It is unjustifiable to take away the money that Aunt Chen and Erya have worked so hard to earn just for his love. Endless help will only harm him." The second brother also agreed.

"No problem, second brother. This is the first time I've seen you speak so eloquently. You hit the nail on the head. We can't help you endlessly. With money, you will have the confidence to get married. When you get married, it will be a matter between the two families. You don't mind it, but what does your husband think? Let's just leave it at that."

"Brother, can~"

"No more talking, just make the decision. You have to learn to take responsibility."

A week passed quickly and the agreed day arrived. Nothing happened during that time, so Xu Damao went to find Zhao Shanhe. For the sake of his son's matter, he didn't tell him about such a big thing as transferring schools. He followed in Zhao Shanhe's footsteps, and of course his son had to follow Zhao Antong.

Zhao Shanhe felt that he should help Xu Damao. Xu Damao had given him many good things over the years, so he wrote a letter of introduction to Xu Damao and asked him to go to the principal of the Ministry of Industry's school himself. It was nothing more than giving some gifts. Xu Damao was very understanding and got the matter done quickly.

Xu Damao has been showing off in front of Sha Zhu every day these days. His son has been admitted to the school of the Ministry of Industry, but in the end, Xu Damao got beaten.

Since it was the weekend, my second uncle and grandmother came over early in the morning and just happened to catch Erya's blind date.

Erya’s boyfriend Wang Ming came over around ten o’clock, holding gifts in both hands, which showed his sincerity.

Wang Ming felt a lot of pressure at this time. He was 1.7 meters tall, but when he entered the house, he found that his brothers-in-law and second father-in-law were like giants. Even when they sat down, they had to look up to talk.

When the second uncle learned that Wang Ming was a retired soldier who had served on the border, he took a good impression of him and started inviting him to drink before they had even talked for three sentences.

As soon as they started drinking, the atmosphere was lively and they became familiar with each other. They learned that Wang Ming drove for District Chief Li, so they thought he was one of their own. District Chief Li was Zhao Shanhe, and he knew him as Brother Li when he first joined the Ministry of Industry. But Zhao Shanhe never gave him any gifts during the holidays.

Wang Ming didn't expect that his future brother-in-law actually knew his immediate superior, and that his second uncle was actually the head of the regiment. When Erya introduced him, she didn't mention that he had a second uncle.

Wang Ming looked like an honest man, without any ulterior motives and a generous drinker. However, he was drunk by his second uncle and brother Zhao Shanhe, and slept until the afternoon after dinner. After a drink, the marriage was settled, and they only waited for Zhao Shanhe to come back from Shandong to get the marriage certificate.
