Siheyuan: Five mouths waiting for food at the beginning

Later, after hearing what his third uncle said, he realized that he was what netizens called the eldest of the youngest generation. Their grandfather was the youngest of that generation, so their family had a high generation. No wonder those children in the afternoon called him grandpa.

"Finally, someone in our Zhao family has made it big. I heard from my uncle that you, Shanhe, have become a big leader in Sijiu City. You are the most successful people in our village. Your second uncle is also a leader, and so are you."

"Great, that's really great," several old men praised Zhao Shanhe.

"No, I just want to make a living in this city." Zhao Shanhe didn't know what to say and said modestly.

"In the new society, the ancestral hall will no longer be open, so we will write it here so that everyone can bear witness." Grandpa Lu said

"Is everything ready?"

"Ready to go"

Uncle San took out candles and incense.

"Shanhe, you have to acknowledge your ancestors first, which means burning incense."

"kneel"

"Today ~" Grandpa Lu talked about the origin of the Zhao family for a long time, and then Zhao Shanhe and Zhao Shanhai burned incense, and the ceremony was completed.

After finding their branch, Zhao Jin's eldest son Zhao Shanhe, second son Zhao Shanhu, and third son Zhao Shanhai were quickly written down. Zhao Shanhe is the eldest in their family, and he is the twenty-first in the Shan generation.

"Do you have a son? I'll fuck you right away."

"Yes, but when my father died, he didn't leave any generational records, and didn't give me a name according to the generational system in the clan. Grandpa Lu, do you think this is okay?"

A few old men discussed it and said, "Shanhe, why don't you give the child a name that can be found in the family tree? If you give the child a name, the family tree will be messed up."

"Okay, let me think about it." Zhao Shanhe thought the family tree was very interesting. It could make people feel a sense of belonging. Later on, there were fewer and fewer families with family trees.

"I have two sons. Let's name the elder one Zhao Guangying and the younger one Zhao Guangjie," Zhao Shanhe thought that the words Ying and Jie were both good, Yingjie.

"Where's Zhao Shanhu?"

"He had three sons. The eldest was named Zhao Guangrui, the second was Zhao Guangzhi, and the third was Zhao Guangcong." They were all wise and smart, so the fourth was named Zhao Guangming.

"My eldest brother is really educated. I should have let you name my son earlier. It's a pity that his name has already been recorded in the family tree." The speaker was Zhao Shandong.

The names of Zhao Shandong's sons Da Niu, Er Niu, San Niu and S Niu in the family tree are Zhao Guangyu, Zhao Guangfei, Zhao Guangyun and Zhao Guangchao. He gave them the names from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, corresponding to Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao.

"Shandong, you gave your child a good name. These are the four generals of Emperor Zhaolie, and they are all fierce generals."

Zhao Shanhe felt that the ugliest names were actually those of his father and his friends. Gold, silver, and iron were really uglier to hear, and each one was less valuable than the other.

After the family tree was written, it was time to eat. Several old men declined and wanted to go home to eat, as food was scarce in those days, so Uncle San still kept them.

Zhao Shanhe brought roast duck, and then put the noodles in the duck bone soup. This was the first time Zhao Shanhe had eaten duck soup noodles like this, and there were also a few dishes prepared in advance.

Duck soup noodles were invented by Zhao Shandong’s wife. The duck soup is quite rich and it would be a shame to just drink the soup. Wouldn’t it be more delicious if you add some noodles to it?

Several old men ate a few mouthfuls of duck and stopped eating. They couldn't finish all the meat and vegetables. They ate one bowl of rice and didn't ask for more. In this era, there is a limit to eating. When others keep you entertained, they are being polite, but you can't really be polite. In the era of abundant food, you can eat whatever you want and no one will blame you. In this era, if you go too far, people will gossip about you.

After dinner, Third Uncle invited him to drink again. Zhao Shanhe was a little scared, mainly because Third Uncle's wine was strong and had a high alcohol content. After one drink, he had to lie down for a whole day. Zhao Shanhe drank a few glasses and stopped. He didn't want to lie down for another day tomorrow.

"Uncle San, these are the cigarettes and alcohol I brought for you. I forgot to give them to you yesterday," Zhao Shanhe handed out the last thing in the bag. It was called a bag, but in fact it was a large woven bag, otherwise it couldn't hold much stuff.

"Shanhe, this is too expensive," Uncle San took note the last time he went there. A bottle of Moutai costs three or four yuan, and these Zhonghua cigarettes are only smoked by big leaders.

"Why spend so much? They were all given to us by others." The third uncle and his three sons each shared two bottles of wine and a pack of cigarettes.

"Shandong, any place in the country, bring the things here and I'll keep them for you. A bottle of wine costs three or four yuan, and a cigarette is only a few cents. Don't be so careless with them." The third uncle said to his three sons.

The eldest brother, Zhao Shandong, went to Sijiu City once to find out the price. As soon as his father finished speaking, he took the things and ran away. It would be difficult to get them back from his father. When the second and third brothers heard the price, they shook their heads like gourds, hugged the things tightly in their arms, and ran away as well, for fear that their father would snatch them away.

Zhao Shanhe didn't expect that his third uncle was so cute, just like an adult coaxing a child with New Year's money.

Zhao Shanhe drank some wine and went to bed early.

When Zhao Shandong returned to the room, his wife asked, "Master, can you smell me and see if I smell good?"

"Don't ask for now. Find a place to hide the cigarettes and alcohol so that my father won't find out."

After hiding the cigarettes and alcohol, Zhao Shandong looked at his wife. She seemed to smell a little bit fragrant, and her face seemed to have changed a little. "She smells a little bit fragrant. Did you touch something?"

"This seems to be called Snow Cream." He took out the Snow Cream given by Zhao Shanhe, "Brother said that it was prepared for us by Sister-in-law."

"Just take what your elder brother gives you. The cigarettes and wine were also given by your elder brother. Don't you know that even the director of the commune is not qualified to drink those cigarettes and wine? I drank them when I went to Sijiucheng last time. You don't know that I drank ten bottles at a time. After knowing the price, my father and I were heartbroken."

"How expensive can a bottle of wine be?"

"How expensive is it? I'll scare you to death if I tell you. One bottle is only three dollars. Two bottles are enough to marry you and still have some money left over."

Zhao Shandong's wife counted on her fingers for a long time and found that ten bottles of wine were enough to marry six of her. She couldn't help but be a little shocked.

"Here's some money." She carefully took out the money from the handkerchief. Since she got so much money, she didn't dare go out all afternoon.

Zhao Shandong took it and took a look at it. "Where did you get so much money? Did big brother give it to you? You silly woman, just accept the gift. Why did you take the money? I'll beat you to death. Return it to big brother quickly."

"It was given by my eldest brother, but not for me. It was given to Daniu and his family. Each child got five dollars, so for the four of us, that was twenty dollars.

Daniu came back and said that he had given Chunsheng, the daughter of the youngest sister, and the baby in her belly to her. I had already given them to the second and third daughters when I was cooking just now. "

"Brother, this time you came here, it really cost a lot of money. Everyone has given gifts."

"Oh, and there are peach cakes, milk powder and malted milk. I gave them all. Daniu and the others kept asking for some this afternoon. You have no idea how sweet they taste."

"You spendthrift woman, you just give it to the child to drink, you won't keep it for a long time."

"I only put a little bit in it, but my brother said it would go bad if we didn't drink it."

"Boss, how much money does your eldest brother make? It hurts me to see him spending so much."

"I do know something about this. I'm telling you, but don't tell anyone. My brother is a leader in the factory and makes 179 yuan a month."

"Oh my God!" Zhao Shandong quickly covered his wife's mouth.

"What are you making so much noise for?"

"179 yuan. I've never seen so much money in my life. The money I got this afternoon has already scared me."
