Siheyuan: Five mouths waiting for food at the beginning

The second day after her younger brother and sister started school, Chunlan couldn't stay any longer and had to go to work immediately.

They were living upstairs and downstairs from Banggeng, and they just happened to run into Banggeng when they went out.

"Dongzi, go to work. Leave your sister-in-law to me. I'll take her to the mall to make arrangements."

Bang Geng brought Xia Chunlan to his office first. "Please sit down for a while. I'll deal with some documents. The mall is not open yet. I'll take you there when it opens."

Banggeng's secretary poured tea, and at about nine o'clock, Banggeng brought Xia Chunlan to the logistics department of the mall.

"Hello, Mr. Jia." The manager of the logistics department greeted Bang Geng quickly when he saw him coming.

Banggeng gave instructions to the manager of the logistics department for a long time, then left Xia Chunlan here and left.

The logistics manager personally took Xia Chunlan to complete the entry procedures and collected the clothes from the mall. He also called a woman in her thirties to take care of Xia Chunlan.

The manager also specifically explained Mr. Jia’s intention and told them not to bully or make things difficult for him because he had someone above him.

Xia Chunlan studied very hard. The work was not difficult. She just had to check the incoming orders, fill out the forms and submit them to the supervisor for review. The rest of the time she was free.

The days passed one by one, and in May, Zhao Shanhe welcomed his second grandson.

With the experience of the first time, Yiyun gave birth smoothly. As expected, the Zhao family was destined to give birth to boys. It was too difficult to give birth to a girl, so the second one was also a boy.

This time, Zhao Antong came up with the name himself. He had been thinking about it for a long time since he knew he was pregnant. Zhao Shanhe's second grandson is named "Zhao Dingye"

The word "Ye" in the name implies brightness, glory, and brilliance. It symbolizes the dazzling light like sunlight and fire, giving people a positive and energetic feeling.

A few days later, Zhao Shanhu also welcomed his first grandson, and An Song's wife Min Rou also gave birth to a boy.

Zhao Ansong named his son "Zhao Dingshuo,"

When naming, the word "Shuo" usually implies dazzling light, masculine and lively, unity, and helpfulness.

The happiest and most worried person is Aunt Chen. It was supposed to be a happy thing to have two great-grandchildren at once, but now she doesn't know which grandson's wife to take care of during the confinement period. The two grandsons' wives are born only a few days apart. She is really feeling both pain and happiness.

In the end, it was Ansong's wife Min Rou who took care of him. Qin Jingru already had experience in taking care of women during confinement, and Yiyun also had her second child and had experience in taking care of children, plus there was also the nanny Xiao Guo.

Min Rou's situation is different. Her mother-in-law Zhang Baixue is the general manager of Huameng Clothing. She can take care of her for a while, but not for a long time. Only Aunt Chen can take care of her.

Aunt Chen had to take care of the baby during the confinement period and also cook. The three Zhao Shanhe brothers were afraid that Aunt Chen would be too tired, so they hired a nanny to take charge of the cooking.

Aunt Chen didn't agree at first. She thought it was nothing. The older generation not only took care of her and cooked for her, but also had to work. This time, the three brothers acted first and asked for permission later. They just invited people directly. Aunt Chen had no choice but to agree.

Time quickly came to June, and Zhao Shanhe's second grandson, Zhao Dingye, celebrated his full month. However, Zhao Shanhe discussed with An Tong and decided not to hold a big celebration. It would be enough for the family to just have a meal.

First, having a second child does not comply with national policy and is prone to gossip. Second, the Zhao family has had too many things going on in recent years and has to entertain guests frequently, which will also cause opinions among relatives and friends.

On the day of the full moon, the family had a meal together to celebrate the baby’s full moon.

A few days later, Ansong's child Zhao Dingshuo's full month birthday came. This was Ansong's first child. Zhao Shanhu was the chairman of the Zhao Group and a well-known figure, so of course he had to hold a grand celebration for his grandson.

The people invited were also those who came to Ansong’s wedding, but Mr. Min did not come this time. Mr. Min’s health has not been good and he is often recuperating in the hospital.

After the full moon banquet for Shanhu's grandson, life returned to peace. Zhao Shanhe's family no longer fought over the grandson. Two grandsons were enough for several people to hug. The second brother's family in the courtyard had their own grandson and did not come to compete with Zhao Shanhe.

Dingwei is one and a half years old, which is the age when everything is very chaotic. He can already walk and runs around every day. Except for sleeping, he is never idle for a moment.

Zhao Shanhe is lost in Ding Wei's call of "Grandpa" every day and cannot extricate himself.

An Huan came back at the weekend and said, "Dad, I'm already 22, and will be 23 soon, almost 24. Zhao Gang (Zhao Dingfang) got married last year."

Zhao Shanhe pretended not to hear. How could he not understand what this boy was thinking? He was thinking about getting married as soon as he reached the legal age.

Zhao Shanhe originally wanted to have a good rest, but he ended up having a headache because of An Huan's buzzing all day long.

"I understand what you mean. You just want to get married, right? Can't you just be quiet? We have hired too many guests in the past two years. Can you wait a little longer and get married in the winter?"

"Dad, I've been waiting for four years, and I've been patient for four years. Do you know how I've been spending these four years? I really don't want to wait any longer. I've finally waited until the day when I can reach the legal age. Please arrange it for me.

It's okay for He Hua and I to not have a big wedding, just my father-in-law and mother-in-law can have a meal with our family, Dad, aren't you afraid that I won't be able to resist and give you a grandson?"

"You don't want to do it? It's easy for you to say that, but will your father-in-law and mother-in-law agree? You know what kind of person your father-in-law is. Sha Zhu is very proud. You want to marry someone else's girl, but you don't say anything. Do you think it's okay?"

"You go and tell your father-in-law, or should I? Even if he agrees, he will definitely not be happy about it. He Hua will definitely feel uncomfortable. Your eldest brother and sister-in-law made a big fuss, but when it comes to you, you are silent. Have you thought about this?"

"Except for your uncle's family, our relatives are the same as your second uncle. Ansong's child just turned one month old, and we're going to have a dinner party again in less than a month. Have you seen the gift list for our family's celebrations over the years?"

"Everyone is giving big gifts, several times a year, and twice a month. Can these people afford it? Although our family is not short of money, we always have to exchange gifts and favors. You have waited for four years, can't you wait for another half a year? Then I will give you a grand wedding, okay?"

An Huan lowered his head and said nothing, obviously unwilling to wait, muttering, "I didn't hold a banquet when I was admitted to university four years ago, and I have never had any problems. Why should I wait?"

The voice was very soft, and Ding Wei in his arms was making a fuss, so Zhao Shanhe didn't hear it clearly, but he knew that the boy was complaining.

"How about this, you go and discuss with your father-in-law, and get the certificate from He Hua first, and let's talk about the wedding banquet in the winter. I'll arrange a house for you, and you can say that it will take a few months to decorate the house and postpone the wedding banquet. Your father-in-law shouldn't say anything, is that all right?"
