Siheyuan: Five mouths waiting for food at the beginning

"Brother, I will never be able to repay you in this lifetime. Don't worry, I will definitely take care of you when you are old." Zhao Shanhai said

Zhao Shanhe was speechless. Zhao Shanhai had been saying that he would take care of him in his old age since he was a child. He finally stopped saying it in the past few years, but now he started again.

"I'll let you take care of me in my old age. That's all right, don't keep talking about it."

"Brother, do you agree?"

"I agree. Let's leave it at that." Zhao Shanhe was also annoyed to the point of being helpless.

"Second brother, did you hear that? Big brother agreed to let me take care of him in his old age."

"That's enough, I heard you," Zhao Shanhu responded, thinking to himself, "Why is no one clamoring to take care of me in my old age? What if some bastards are unfilial in the future?"

"After talking about the company, let's talk about my eldest nephew. Second brother, Amber was admitted to Renmin University. We have to celebrate."

When Zhao Shanhu heard that Amber was admitted to Renmin University, his mouth was grinning. He didn't expect his son to be so promising and much better than him. It seemed that he benefited from Zhang Baixue.

"Second brother, stop laughing. You're drooling."

After listening to what Zhao Shanhai said, Zhao Shanhu really wiped the corner of his mouth. Zhao Shanhe even laughed. This second brother is a bit silly.

"Brother, An Tong has also been admitted to Yangcheng University. How about we celebrate together?"

"Then let's celebrate. I've seen how hard my little bastard works. Don't put too much pressure on them. We have only had one lifetime to endure hardships."

"Brother, second brother, I will go and make arrangements. Both of my nephews have passed the exam, so we have to celebrate. They are college students. I have always dreamed of going to college in my life."

Zhao Shanhai showed an envious expression. Zhao Shanhe stood up and walked over to pat Zhao Shanhai on the shoulder. "Alas, third brother, you were born at the wrong time. It could have been a few years earlier or later, but you just happened to meet that period. Otherwise, you would have been a college student, and it would have been a pity for Daya."

"Exactly. I wish I were the second brother. Second brother wasted his chance."

"Third child, I don't know how my parents gave birth to me and gave me my brains. After my father died, I tried my best, but I just couldn't learn. What can I do?

But I am also content. I am living a better life than others. I am now the chairman of the board. My son has been admitted to university for me. I am content. "

"Speaking of Dad, I only visited him in the past two years after his death. Let's go and sweep his grave later."

"Brother, you are right. It is time to clean Dad's grave. It must be Dad's blessing for us."

"Then let's celebrate on that day. First, tell Dad that his two grandsons have been admitted to university, and then celebrate."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, big brother."

"By the way, second and third brother, now that we've come to this, have you considered moving to a bigger house? The little ones have grown up, and it's not our age anymore. They should have their own rooms. It's not good to always be crowded together."

"In fact, I have discussed this with Bai Xue. Firstly, I feel that I have developed feelings for the house after living in it for a long time. Secondly, we are both busy and only come home to sleep at night. We don't think it is necessary. We can just buy a house for the child when he grows up.

But the courtyard houses that I bought from you a few years ago have appreciated in value, but they are too small, so I am thinking about whether I should sell them.”

"Don't sell it. It doesn't matter if it's small. The places you bought will be very expensive in the future. I think the housing prices are just beginning to appreciate. You can still buy a bigger one."

"Also, second brother, your idea is good, but have you ever thought about it? If you divide the children, who will take care of the grandchildren in the future? You two have to help take care of the children.

Don't count on Aunt Chen. She is in her early fifties and has worked hard for us for most of her life. I want to let Aunt Chen take a rest and enjoy a few years of life after she brings the third child out.

So why don't you buy a bigger house so that you can live together and enjoy the happiness of family life?"

"Brother, you are thinking too far ahead. You are only 40, and I am not even 40 yet. It is still a long way to go before I retire."

"Not far away. You know I'm only 40, but the third brother doesn't know that. Didn't you hear that he wants to take care of me in my old age? I want to retire early and give him this opportunity."

"Hahaha" the three brothers all laughed.

"Okay, you two can handle it, especially your second and third child. Your two children are still young, but yours are different. Your children are all grown up and should have their own rooms."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, big brother. What kind of house do you think I should buy? A courtyard house or a building?"

"A courtyard house, let's say. It's quiet with its own door and yard. I can still visit you when I'm old. If it weren't for work reasons, I would really like to live in a courtyard house and stay with you guys."

"Okay, big brother, I'll buy a bigger courtyard house and leave a house for you. When you retire, you can come and live here. What about you, third brother? Do you want to live with me or buy your own house?"

"Hey, big brother, second brother, if you all move out, then I won't move. The house with two yards in front and back is big enough for me to live in. This is what Dad bought, and it can be considered as our ancestral home. I will guard it for you."

"You are so good, Third Brother. You are taking advantage of us. You said this is our ancestral home and it can only be given to you. We brothers all have a share in this house. Don't think of monopolizing it."

"Brother, you misunderstood me. I said I was guarding it for you. Of course there are yours, as well as Big Sister and Arya's."

“That’s pretty much it”

The three brothers all understood that although the money they earned now was enough to buy several big houses, this house had a different meaning because they had grown up here.

"No, big brother, second brother,"

"What's the matter, third child?"

"Brother, you have your sister-in-law taking care of you. If you move out, your brother and sister-in-law will be busy. Who will take care of my nephews? Aunt Chen will have to help me take care of the children."

Zhao Shanhe and Zhao Shanhu were both silent. This was indeed a problem. There was only one Aunt Chen and she was unable to take care of her in two places. It was originally agreed that Zhao Shanhe would take care of Aunt Chen in her old age, but he only moved here because there was no one to take care of the second and third children.

"How about this, second brother, you buy a bigger house, preferably one with three courtyards. The three of us will pay for it together, and the third brother will move in with us. I'll also move in in the future, and that'll be all. As for this place, come back often to visit."

"Brother, this is a good suggestion. The whole family should be together. We can have a companion when we grow old, and it will also make it easier for the third child to take care of us in our old age."

"Second brother, are you overthinking this? I only said I would take care of my elder brother in his old age, but I never said I would take care of you in your old age."

"You little bastard, your second brother didn't support you. You have no conscience. You are my third son, and I still need you to support me in my old age. I am not happy with you supporting me in my old age."

"Why do I smell something sour? Third brother, do you smell it?"

"Brother, one monk carries water to eat, two monks carry water to eat, and three monks have no water to eat. I advise you to curry favor with me. I will take care of your retirement. What do you think?"

"You bastard"

"Hahahaha" the three brothers burst into laughter again
