Siheyuan: Five mouths waiting for food at the beginning

When Qin Huairu opened the door and saw that it was not Xiaodang and his wife, she felt a little disappointed, but it only lasted for a moment. Soon she was pleasantly surprised again. It was An Huan who came to wish her a happy new year.

Every year, Banggeng goes to the Zhao family, but the Zhao family has never taken the initiative to come and wish her a happy new year. This year, they actually took the initiative to come and wish her a happy new year. Even though they are a junior, they were very surprised.

"Auntie, Happy New Year"

"An Huan, Happy New Year to you too, come in and sit down."

An Huan also wished a happy new year to Jia Zhang and Bang Geng's wife.

Three generations of mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law hurriedly brought tea, melon seeds, and fruits. They were much more enthusiastic than He Donglai just now, and brought more things.

"An Huan, you haven't eaten yet? Auntie can make you whatever you want to eat."

"No need, Auntie. I'll just sit for a while and then leave. I have to go and wish Uncle Xu a happy new year."

"Oh, kid, this is your first time at your aunt's house, how can you not even have a meal? You can go to Xu Damao to wish him a happy new year, but you must have dinner at your aunt's house. Why, do you think your aunt's cooking is not tasty?"

"No, auntie,"

"No, that's fine. Sit down and eat some fruit and melon seeds."

Qin Huairu turned around and said to Jia Zhang, "Mom, please chat with An Huan."

After saying that, without giving An Huan a chance to refuse, he went to cook with Banggeng's wife.

An Huan had no choice but to talk to her. "Grandma, are you feeling well?"

"I'm fine, I'm fine, I can eat and drink, but I have some pains in my body, it's an old ailment."

"How is your grandmother?"

"My grandma is fine too,"

"That's right. Xiao Chen is the same age as your aunt. They were young and strong."

"Grandma, why haven't you seen Yaozu?"

"He went to his aunt's house upstairs to play. His aunt Huaihua lives on the eighth floor."

An Huan was thinking about why he had more and more relatives, and whether he should go to his cousin's house to take a look. He would not have come if he had known earlier.

"So my cousin lives on the eighth floor. I didn't know that."

"This is all thanks to your family. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to live in such a nice house with an elevator and all the decorations. We have to thank you so much."

"Grandma, you are wrong. This is a good job by my cousins. They deserve this house."

"It's all thanks to you. You are so generous. Otherwise, I would never have dreamed of living in such a nice house in my lifetime."

"This head looks exactly like your father's. It will definitely attract girls at school."

An Huan didn't know how to respond to this. "No, it's just that I'm too tall. Girls don't like guys like me."

"An Huan, you're welcome. Have some melon seeds and fruit."

"Grandma, I won't sit down anymore. I'm going to go to Uncle Xu's house to pay New Year's greetings, and also visit cousin Huaihua's house." An Huan really couldn't sit still anymore. He didn't know what to talk about with the old lady.

Hearing that An Huan was leaving, Qin Huairu came over from the kitchen, "An Huan, after you've finished paying New Year's greetings, you must come over for dinner. Auntie is waiting for you."

"Aunt, why don't we forget about it today? I'll come over to eat another day."

"No, you're here, how can you leave without eating? Otherwise, don't leave now, eat later."

"Okay, okay, I'll come over for dinner later."

Qin Huairu suddenly remembered something and quickly took out a red envelope from her apron. "An Huan, don't think it's too little, take it quickly."

An Huan quickly declined, "Aunt, I'm already this old, I won't take the red envelope."

"What's so big about it? If you haven't got a wife, you're just a child. Take it quickly and don't think it's too little." Qin Huairu stuffed it into An Huan's hand.

After An Huan left the house, Qin Huairu reminded him, "An Huan, you must come to eat later."

An Huan returned to He Dong's house on the fifth floor, and He Hua asked, "An Huan, how about hot pot?"

An Huan touched his head a little embarrassedly, "He Hua, I'm a little embarrassed, how about you eat with He Dongge, this is my first time to my aunt's house, my aunt insisted that I go to her house for lunch at noon, I really can't resist."

"I didn't expect you to be so popular. Well, it's a pity that you don't have the good fortune to eat the food my brother cooks."

"I'm sorry, He Hua, I have to trouble you with one more thing."

"you say"

"Go see if the fruit seller downstairs has left. If not, buy me some fruit. My cousin is also in this building. If she doesn't know, it's fine. But if she does, I have to go."

"Okay, I'll buy it for you."

An Huan quickly took out a handful of money and stuffed it into He Hua's pocket without counting how much it was. It was just a pair of change, probably only a few dozen dollars.

"No, I don't need that much anyway."

"It's so much that I can consider it as your New Year's gift to you. Thank you for your help."

"What's the problem? We are good brothers."

"Then please explain this to Brother He Dong for me."

After An Huan left, He Hua said, "Brother, just make some food. It's just the two of us. An Huan won't eat at our house anymore."

"Okay, I get it. I heard you guys talking."

An Huan went out and knocked on the door opposite. It was Zhou Yuanyuan, Xu Damao's wife, who opened the door.

"Happy New Year, Auntie,"

"Happy New Year, Happy New Year, An Huan is here, come in and sit down."

An Huan went in and found that Zhou Yuanyuan was the only one there. "Aunt, where are Uncle Xu and Brother Xu Sheng?"

"Come, An Tong, have some fruit and drink some tea."

"Brother Xu Sheng opened a movie theater. He has been very busy during the Chinese New Year and has been there the whole time."

"As for your Uncle Xu, I don't know where he went to drink last night. He didn't come back until midnight. He didn't even have breakfast and is still asleep now. I'll go call him."

"No need, auntie, if Uncle Xu is drunk, just let him fall asleep."

"It's time to get up. It's almost time for lunch."

Then Zhou Yuanyuan ran to the bedroom and called Xu Damao.

After a while, Xu Damao came out with a messy hair.

"Happy New Year Uncle Xu"

"An Huan, I'm sorry, Uncle Xu drank too much. Please wait a moment. I'll go wash my face first."

Five minutes later, Xu Damao finished washing up and his messy hair was combed meticulously.

"Wife, go cook, stew the beef, and make a few more dishes."

"An Huan, talk to your Uncle Xu, I'll be ready soon."

"Uncle, aunt, no need to bother, I'm just here to wish you a happy new year, I'll be leaving after sitting for a while."

"You kid, you are still so polite when you come to your uncle's house. What's the relationship between me and your father? I won't let you eat at your uncle's house. Is that reasonable?

We must eat later, and then have a couple of drinks after that."

"Uncle Xu, I know you have a good relationship with my father, but I just promised my aunt that I would have lunch at her house, so I'm really sorry."

"Why are you being so polite, kid? As for adding a pair of chopsticks, your aunt is Qin Huairu, it's not like you don't know her. Just call her up to eat together later."

Xu Damao shouted towards the kitchen, "Wife, cook a few more dishes. I'll call the Jia family up to eat later."

He said to An Huan, "Look, this has been resolved. Now we should give Uncle Xu some face, right?"
