Siheyuan: Five mouths waiting for food at the beginning

"Where have you been?" Jia Zhang asked

"I went to see Jingru. I did it for her own good, but I didn't expect that she wouldn't appreciate it."

"Put aside your little thoughts. Zhao Shanhe is not as easy to fool as the fool he was before. He must have explained everything to Qin Jingru. Even if you say that? Ask your sister if she can leave Zhao Shanhe.

You are too clever for your own good. What's the point of being jealous now? Even if she is divorced, she will marry you. What good will it do you? Don't forget that Banggeng is still suffering in the countryside. In two years, the two girls will also go to the countryside. We still have to beg them for mercy."

"Mom, why is Jingru so lucky? Why is her life so good?" It is true that jealousy changes a woman beyond recognition. She is not afraid of her sisters living a hard life, but she is afraid that her sisters drive a Land Rover.

"It's because he's stupid. Stupid people have good fortune. You're too smart. Even if you follow Zhao Shanhe, you won't last long. How many wives are willing to buy three-wheeled horses and one-ring for their brothers and sisters and support the family?"

Qin Huairu thought about it and realized that she really couldn't do it.

"Brother Shanhe, thank you for staying with me all day today. Why don't you come up and have a drink of water before you leave? My father still misses you all the time."

"It's time to go up. I'm already downstairs now. I really should visit Uncle Zhou. If Uncle Zhou knew that I didn't go upstairs after I was downstairs, he would definitely beat me up the next time he sees me."

Zhao Shanhe and Zhou Xiaozhou spent the whole day playing. They went to the park, rowed a boat, had dinner, watched a movie, and finally Zhao Shanhe sent Zhou Xiaozhou home.

Everything was requested by Zhou Xiaozhou, and Zhao Shanhe was too embarrassed to refuse so he agreed. Zhou Xiaozhou's purpose was to experience the feeling of a couple's date. From Zhou Xiaozhou's happy expression, it can be seen that this feeling is very good.

As soon as he reached the door, Zhou Xiaozhou started calling out, "Dad, Dad, Brother Shanhe is here."

After Zhou Xiaozhou opened the door, Zhao Shanhe scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Uncle Zhou, I'm sorry, I came empty-handed again."

"What are you talking about, kid? I'm already very happy that you can come. Have you eaten? If not, ask your aunt to make some."

"Eat, eat."

"Did you really eat it? Or did you pretend to eat it? Don't be polite when you come to my uncle's house."

"Uncle, I really ate it. I ate it with Xiaozhou."

"What? You two ate together. Didn't she go to see her classmates?" Uncle Zhou looked at Zhao Shanhe as if he was interrogating a criminal.

"Um, uncle, this is what happened. Last time I said I would introduce a date to Xiao Zhou, and Xiao Zhou came to me today to ask about it."

"Dad, my classmate wasn't here this morning, and I was bored at home, so I went to play with Brother Shanhe."

"Let me guess. Xiaozhou looks so happy. Is he interested in the person Shanhe introduced to him? I said Shanhe is young and promising, so the person he introduced to him must be right."

"Really, Xiaozhou, you're dating someone. That's good news," Aunt Zhou, who was washing dishes, also ran over.

Zhao Shanhe was a little embarrassed at this moment. If he had known, he would not have come up. How could he tell Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou that I didn’t introduce anyone to him. I just took your daughter out to play for a day.

"No, no." Zhao Shanhe's tone sounded a little weak.

"You're already a father, but why do you still talk like a woman? If it works, it works. If it doesn't, it doesn't."

"It didn't work. I was so happy for nothing. I came here before I even finished washing the pot."

"Why are you so happy when the boat didn't make it? Did you eat bee shit?"

"Uncle, it's my fault for not explaining it clearly. It's my fault for not introducing a date to Xiao Zhou. I haven't found the type that Xiao Zhou wants."

Uncle Zhou reacted now. He was not so happy about the blind date. He knew the cabbages he raised well. He was so happy like a fool. He must have fallen in love with Zhao Shanhe.

"Shanhe, let me tell you, I only have this one daughter, but you already have a child, so don't do anything reckless."

"Uncle Zhou, what are you thinking? You're talking about me and Xiao Zhou? That's impossible. I already have three children. Uncle Zhou is so good to me. I treat Xiao Zhou as my own sister. If my sister comes to find me, then I have to accompany her."

"Sister, he treats me as his sister." Zhou Xiaozhou felt a little uncomfortable when she heard this. She didn't know whether she liked Zhao Shanhe or not, but she was very happy with Zhao Shanhe.

"Shanhe, it's not that I don't trust you, it's that I don't trust my little Zhou. This kid has never been in a relationship before, so he might have mistaken his brother's kindness to his sister as love.

Look how happy you were when you came back. If you had kept it a secret from us, it would have been too late. I had to be prepared in advance."

"Dad, what nonsense are you talking about? How is this possible? I was just having fun with Brother Shanhe."

Zhao Shanhe also reacted. Zhou Xiaozhou's behavior today was indeed a bit abnormal. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that something was wrong. He didn't even notice that all the activities they played today were for couples to date. Could this girl really like him?

Zhao Shanhe thought about it and wondered if Zhou Xiaozhou really pursued him as Uncle Zhou said, would he be able to control himself? Zhao Shanhe’s answer was no. How could a man refuse a young and beautiful girl who was as attractive as a lark? It was not good for a man to be too outstanding, as he had to be able to withstand temptation.

"Uncle, don't worry, this won't happen. I guarantee it in the name of my father."

"That's good, that's good. Shanhe, don't blame me for what I said just now. I'm doing this for your own good."

"Uncle, I understand you. My daughter is only a little over a year old and I'm already worried."

Ever since Zhao Shanhe had a daughter, he sometimes dreamed of a yellow-haired man riding a will-o'-the-wisp with his daughter sitting behind him. The yellow-haired man said proudly, "Lao Deng, I've taken your daughter away."

"Uncle, there is one more thing. Can Shanhai come back? My sister-in-law is pregnant."

"Shanhe, even if you don't tell me, I will find a time to find you and let Shanhai come back. I was in a hurry and didn't think it through. I originally proposed to oppose arranged marriage and free love.

If this hat was put on the girl's father's head at that time, he would be in trouble. What's more, the two of them are married and have obtained the marriage certificate, so there is nothing to be afraid of. Let Shanhai come back and do what needs to be done.

If that girl's father dares to cause trouble again, come find me.

"Uncle Zhou, I feel relieved when you say that. I'll send a telegram to Shanhai and ask him to come back. It's getting late, so I'll go back first."

"Boy, you are kidding me. It's getting late. Now that you are here, you can't leave without having a couple of drinks."

Zhao Shanhe saw that it was still light outside. He looked at his watch and saw that it was only six o'clock. It gets dark late in August.

It was already nine o'clock when the two finished drinking. It was getting dark. Zhao Shanhe drank too much and felt a little dizzy, so he pushed his bicycle home.

Zhou Xiaozhou was lying on the bed, thinking about what his father said. Could it be that he really fell in love with Brother Shanhe? He just wanted to experience the feeling of being in love, but he was really happy with Brother Shanhe. Is this what it felt like to like someone?
