Siheyuan: Five mouths waiting for food at the beginning

"Listen to me, Shanhe. I couldn't have imagined the life I'm living now.

First, your father saved me. After your father died, you didn't drive me and Erya away. I secretly swore in my heart that I would raise you and find you wives even if I died.

Each of you is more promising than the other, not to mention that you have sent Da Ya and Er Ya to school and found jobs, so I owe you even more.

I didn't even help. Shanhe, you don't owe me anything. It's Aunt Chen who owes you. Fortunately, I met you, otherwise I don't know if the three of us can survive.

I can only take care of the kids and cook, I can't help with anything else, if you ask me to do nothing, I will feel bad. "

"Aunt Chen, you are wrong. You feel that you owe us something because you are too clear about the differences and don't treat us as a family.

After our mother passed away, you were the one who washed our clothes and cooked for us. Without you, we would be like wild children without a mother.

Not to mention that after Dad died, you were the one who carried this family. I don’t know what I would have done without you in those years.

You brought up our child and never made me worry about anything at home.

Shanhu and I are about the same age as you. Although we call you Aunt Chen, we already regard you as our biological mother in our hearts.

Really, you don’t owe us anything. You’ve worked hard for half your life. Now that your life is good, you can enjoy the rest of your life in peace and contentment.”

"Yes, Aunt Chen, Big Brother is right. We have already considered you as our mother."

"Mom, you brought me up since I was a child. You always think of me first when you have something good to eat and drink. You take great care of me. You are my real mother.

Listen to us, life is good now, hire a nanny and you can enjoy a peaceful life."

Aunt Chen couldn't help but shed tears, "Mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas, meeting you is really a blessing that I have cultivated for several lifetimes.

You guys are thoughtful, but you really don’t need a nanny. I’m not refusing. My life is good enough now. I’m used to doing these things. If you don’t let me do it, I really don’t know what to do.”

"Aunt Chen, listen to us. You've worked hard for half your life. Change your way of life. You can go to the theater, dance, do something you haven't done before, and experience a new life."

"Shanhe, stop talking. I can't do this. This is how my life will be. Let's go and have dinner. Everyone is waiting for us."

"Okay, let's eat."

There were too many people in the family and one table couldn't accommodate them all, so the adults sat at one table and the children sat at another.

"Brother, two drinks?"

"Okay, I haven't had a drink with you guys in a while."

"Shanhai, you are good at drinking?"

"That's right. I deal with Xu Damao and those leaders all day long. I have to attend social events every day. My drinking capacity has increased rapidly."

"Xu Damao has been back for such a long time, but I haven't seen him."

"Brother, don't you see where you live? Anyone can come in at will. Besides, we have moved, and you are here too. How can you see Xu Damao?"

"Xu Damao is back, where is his kid?"

"He's back too. He's been absent-minded all day. Xu Damao is too busy to take care of him, and my sister-in-law can't control him either."

"You know what to do?"

"I don't know. Not only do we not know, even Xu Damao, the father, doesn't know. Xu Damao said he cheated him out of a lot of money to do business, and he didn't come home all day, and he didn't get a penny from him when he got back."

"Xu Damao has a hard time too. All the money he worked so hard to earn was spent by his son. He is not interested in the job assigned to him by the company and wants to be the boss."

"The old saying is right, spoiling a child is like killing him. Xu Damao is such a precious child, growing up in a honeypot. If he is not properly disciplined, won't he become like that?"

Zhao Shanhe sighed and said, "We have watched that child grow up since he was young. Go back and tell Xu Damao that we are cracking down hard now. Keep a close eye on your son and don't let him do anything wrong. It may not sound nice, but that's the truth."

Uncle San took over and said, "If you ask me, if a child is disobedient, it's because I didn't beat him enough. If you look at my kids from Shandong, if they don't obey, I'll beat them with my shoes and see if they dare to do it again."

"Uncle San, you are right. A good son is born under the stick. My family's Jingru have also been beaten many times.

Shanhu and I were beaten by our father from childhood to adulthood, and the third child was the only one who never got beaten."

"Brother, what you said is true. The reason I didn't get beaten is that I have been sensible since I was a child, okay?"

"Hahaha, you're the only one who's sensible. You were very naughty when you were a kid. How about I tell everyone about the things you did? It's only because Aunt Chen protected you, and your brother I don't like to use force, otherwise you would have been beaten no less than the rest of us.

Speaking of being obedient and sensible, Daya and Erya are the most sensible ones. They have been worry-free since they were young."

"Brother, can you please give me some face? I am already a father and my son is here."

"Okay, okay, I'll give you face and I won't say anything."

"Uncle, you are so powerful, but you were also beaten when you were a child?" Erya's youngest son said in a baby voice.

Zhao Shanhe was not able to deal with the child's words at once. "My uncle was also a child. If you don't listen, you will definitely be beaten. If you don't listen, I will let your mother beat you hard. Not only your mother will beat you, but also my uncle, your second uncle, your youngest uncle, and your eldest aunt. We will all beat you."

"Wa wah wah" the child was frightened and cried, and quickly got into Erya's arms, "Uncle is bad, I don't like him."

Everyone burst into laughter again. Yiyun looked at this and felt that this family was so harmonious.

"Don't cry, your uncle was just trying to scare you," Erya coaxed the child.

"Slug, if you cry again, we won't play with you," said Shanhai's youngest son.

"Then I won't cry anymore. Can you guys still play with me?"

"Um"

Everyone burst into laughter again. These little guys are so cute.

"When these little guys grow up, marry and have children, then our Zhao family will be prosperous," said the third uncle.

Uncle San continued, "These kids have finally come to a good time. You have suffered all the hardships, but you will all enjoy happiness in the future."

"Uncle San, aren't we working hard for them? It's enough if only one generation has to endure the hardships. What's the point of working hard for generations?"

"Shanhe, Third Uncle has benefited greatly from following you."

"Third uncle, you come again. It's been so many years, and you are always so polite. You are the elder, and I should respect you. If you say this again, I will be angry."

"No more talking, no more talking, come, have a drink."

"Amber, your elder brother has a girlfriend, you two are similar, are you guys dating? When will you bring someone back so we can see him?"

"Aunt, I won't be an adult until next year. It's still early now. Let's talk about it in a few years. I plan to build a career first and then start a family." Amber said shyly.

"Silly boy, it's time to talk. By the time you have established your career, all the good girls will be snatched away by others."

"Ding ding ding, open the door quickly!"
