Siheyuan: Five mouths waiting for food at the beginning

It was July. When Zhao Shanhe got home from work, he didn't care about his tiredness anymore. The moment he saw his grandson, he seemed to forget his tiredness.

"Xiaowei, grandpa misses you so much, come and let grandpa hug you." Zhao Shanhe took the child from Qin Jingru.

"Come on, Xiaowei, call me grandpa, grandpa"

The child babbled in Zhao Shanhe's arms, "Jingru, did you see that? Xiaowei is smiling. He just likes being held by me."

"Then you should seize the opportunity to hug her longer. When An Tong, An Rong and the others come back, it won't be your turn."

"Those bastards only know how to tease my grandson when they come back. They make a fuss about my grandson, right? Xiao Wei, I won't let them hold him when they come back."

Ever since his grandson was born, Zhao Shanhe realized what people used to say about the closeness between generations. No matter how much they cherished him, they could never get enough of the things they said about him being too young and not ready to be a grandfather. It was all bullshit. His grandson was so sweet.

Qin Jingru asked, "By the way, An Rong is going to take the college entrance examination soon. Are you going this year?"

Zhao Shanhe teased his grandson while answering, "Yes, you must go. She is my own daughter, and I only have one. The college entrance examination is a big deal, so I must go."

"I mean, do you have time? Your students are going to graduate this year too."

"I have time. I have read the paper myself. The experiment went smoothly and everything is finished. The last step is to report the paper. It will be over soon. I will never teach students again after this class. It is so annoying."

Zhao Shanhe had just held the baby for a while when An Tong came back from get off work. "Dad, you've worked all day. Don't get tired. Give Xiao Wei to me."

An Tong was about to snatch the child from Zhao Shanhe's hands, but Zhao Shanhe turned around and dodged, "I'm not tired. Why are you back so early? Learn more from your cousin Bang Geng. What can you learn by coming back so early?"

"No, Dad, you say this every day. Everyone else has gone home from get off work, so what can I do if I stay in the company? Can't I hug my own son?"

"You two can hold the baby slowly tonight. I can only hold him for a short while a day, but you won't let me cherish him. When An Rong and An Feng come back, they will try to snatch him away. I, as a grandfather, can't even hold him for a short while, and you want to snatch him away from me. You are so rebellious."

"No, Dad, you have to be reasonable. I haven't seen my son for a day. Children are sleepy and go to bed at night. There's no point in me holding him."

"Then I don't care. Now is the time for grandfather and grandson. Xiaowei belongs to me now. I get off work on time every day and dare not delay on the road. Just for such a short while, if you snatch it again, be careful that I will quarrel with you and let your second uncle stop your job and salary, and let you starve to death."

"Dad, stop threatening me. If you have the guts, ask my second uncle to stop my job and salary. If you do, I will move away from here with my wife and children, and you won't be able to see your grandson."

"An Tong, you little bastard are so vicious. You even prevented me from seeing Xiao Wei. Just try it. It doesn't matter if you run away, but you have to leave the child to me."

Qin Jingru said from the side, "Alright, you two should stop arguing, or you'll scare the child to tears."

"Brother, come on, let me hug my grandson,"

"No, Lao San, where did you come from? How did you get in? Why are you here instead of going home after get off work?"

Shanhai came up to Zhao Shanhe and tried to snatch the child away. "Your door was wide open, so I naturally walked in. Big brother, hurry up and let me hold my grandson."

"If you want to have a grandchild, ask your son to give birth to one. I just held him in my arms and he's not even warm yet."

"Brother, your joke is not funny at all. My two sons are so young, their hair hasn't even grown yet, what the hell, let me hold them, I came all the way here, you can't let me watch over them."

"You see me every day, but I only come here once every ten days or half a month. Do you think it's appropriate not to let me hug you?"

Zhao Shanhe had no choice but to carefully hand the child to Shanhai, who carefully held him in his arms, "Grandson, I miss your third grandfather so much. I am so heartbroken."

Shanhai had been holding her for less than two minutes when Zhao Shanhe and Zhao Antong tried to snatch her away, "Third brother, you've been holding her long enough, give it to me now."

An Tong also said, "Dad, Third Uncle, you all hugged the baby, but I, as the father, haven't hugged the baby yet. Now it's my turn."

Zhao Shanhai was unhappy, "No, I've only been holding you for a few minutes. What do you mean it's your turn now? Let me hold you for a while longer."

At this time, the child started to cry, "Third brother, you scared my grandson and he doesn't want to be with you. Give him back to me now."

As he said this, Zhao Shanhe took the child from Zhao Shanhai's arms, but the child still cried.

An Tong said, "Dad, Third Uncle, Xiao Wei doesn't want you to hold him. He probably misses me as his father and wants me to hold him."

Before An Tong could take the child, Qin Jingru took him over and said, "The child must have pooped or peed. I'll go change the diaper. You can hold the child later." Qin Jingru said as she carried the child upstairs.

"Well, now I can't hold the child anymore. Third brother, you didn't come all the way to see the child, did you? Just tell me what's the matter. Then leave. I won't keep you for dinner."

"Brother, you are really wrong. I am here just to see my grandson. There is nothing to do in the company right now. Everything is going well. It is not that easy for you to send me away easily.

I have already called home and I am eating here. I don’t believe you won’t let me eat.”

"Okay, okay, you are so shameless. How come I have to have a brother like you?"

"I do have something to tell you. Ever since Xiaowei was born, my second brother and his wife have been extremely envious and are now urging Ansong to get married every day."

"Ansong said he would bring the girl back for dinner in two days. My second brother wanted to ask if you had time, so I took over the matter and came to tell you and come to see my grandson."

"It's a good thing that Ansong brought the girl back. When? Is there a specific time? You know An Rong will take the college entrance examination soon, and my group of students will graduate soon. I'm afraid there will be a conflict in time."

"Tomorrow afternoon, Ansong will bring the girl over. You should be free, right? Meet Ansong's girlfriend and have a meal with your family."

"By the way, bring Xiao Wei with you when you come. Mom misses him every day, and his uncles miss him too."

"If there is time, there is time. But with such a big show, aren't you afraid that the girl will be scared away?"

"Anyway, that's what the second brother said. I'll be in charge of notifying, and you can decide for yourself whether you want to come or not."

"Since the second brother said so, I will definitely go. After all, I am Uncle Ansong. Since Aunt Chen also wants a child and the weather is hot now, I will take Xiaowei with me."
