Siheyuan: Five mouths waiting for food at the beginning

Today was a wonderful day. When we got home, everyone was waiting for Zhao Shanhe to attend the meeting.

"Thank you Aunt Chen for your hard work over the years. If it weren't for Aunt Chen, I don't know how I would have survived without my father." After saying this, Zhao Shanhe kowtowed to Aunt Chen, and the two brothers Shanhu and Shanhai also knelt down and kowtowed.

"Today I was officially assigned a job. I am working in the Ministry of Industry, in the technical department of the steel rolling mill. I am a level 102 engineer with a salary of 30. Aunt Chen has been supporting the family all these years, and it's my turn to contribute. I get every month, and I'm responsible for the marriages of my younger brother and sister," said Zhao Shanhe

Everyone was very happy to hear about Zhao Shanhe's salary.

"I've also been allocated two rooms, the ones next to the deaf old lady's. This is what I'm thinking. After the renovation is completed, I'll move in. Second brother, my room will belong to you from now on. You're almost getting married age, and it's not appropriate for you to live with third brother. Third brother's room will belong to you. Aunt Chen will have one room, and the eldest and second sisters will have one room. Even if you get married in the future, you'll have a place to live when you come back," said Zhao Shanhe.

"Everyone has no objection, right?" Zhao Shanhe asked

Aunt Chen said, "You are the eldest in the family, and the house belongs to your father. How can the eldest child not inherit it? I will move in with Da Ya and Er Ya, and leave the big house to you. When they get married, they can come back and live with me."

"Second brother, what do you think?" Zhao Shanhe asked

"Brother, we listen to you," said the second brother (the eldest brother is like a father)

"Brother, you make the arrangements. I will follow your instructions," said the third brother.

"Aunt Chen, listen to me. We are a family. Da Ya and Er Ya are also our relatives. We should let them have their own rooms. Even if they get married in the future, I will still be your support. If you are unhappy, just come back," Zhao Shanhe said

Daya blushed, Erya was moved to tears, Zhao Shanhe realized that he had gone off topic, both of them were still in school.

"The house matter is settled, Aunt Chen. You don't have to take out all your salary from now on. Just take 10 yuan a month. Second brother, you will also take 10 yuan," Zhao Shanhe said.

"I understand, big brother," said Hu Zi

"Shanhe, it's not appropriate for me to take ten yuan. I inherited your father's job, which originally belonged to you. I didn't starve to death in the past few years, and I raised two girls. I am already very satisfied. I will give it all out. You and Shanhu should take less. You will be looking for wives soon," said Aunt Chen.

"My dad really found a good wife. Not only did she do her best to raise me, but she also didn't ask for anything in return," Zhao Shanhe thought to himself (in fact, Zhao Shanhe always used the ideas of later generations. The thinking in this era was still very conservative. Aunt Chen had never heard of joint property between husband and wife. She thought that the house and workstation should belong to the Zhao brothers. It was a great favor for her not to drive me away. She also let her two daughters have food to eat and go to school. Zhao Shanhe felt that if it weren't for Aunt Chen, he would have to wash clothes and cook, and he couldn't go to school. Anyway, Zhao Shanhe and Aunt Chen felt that they had made a profit)

"Aunt Chen, it's settled. From now on, you only need to take 10 yuan a month. You can save the rest and buy yourself something. You've spent all your money on us in the past few years. We're all grown up now. Xiaobao is the only one left. How can we two brothers ignore him?" Zhao Shanhe said

"Thank you, Shanhe" Aunt Chen burst into tears

"Aunt Chen, you are not that old, only in your thirties. You haven't looked for a partner in recent years for the sake of us. Do you want to consider finding a partner?" Shanhe said

Aunt Chen's heart was startled. "Shanhe, are you going to chase me away?"

Zhao Shanhe smiled bitterly. Aunt Chen must have misunderstood. She was too sensitive.

"Aunt Chen, you're overthinking it. Why would I chase you away? I just saw that you were working too hard and were lonely, so I asked if you wanted to find a companion." (After all, thirty is the age of wolves and tigers)

Aunt Chen said, "I won't look for one. Your father took me in and gave two girls a home. I decided that I was a member of the Zhao family. I also got a job in the Zhao family. If I find another man, I'm still a human being. When I die in the future, I just want him to bury me closer to the Zhao family. I'm not miserable. I'm so happy to see you grow up one by one."

Let's just say, the two people's thoughts are not on the same channel at all.

"Aunt Chen, I'm going to make a promise to you today. I'll take care of you in your old age. You took care of me when I was little, and I'll take care of you when you're old. We men in this city are committed to our promises," Zhao Shanhe said solemnly.

"Mom, I will also take care of you in your old age" said the third child Shanhai. (As mentioned before, the third child is still young, so he changed his name to mom.)

The second child also said, "Aunt Chen, you are our mother. I always think of you as my mother."

Aunt Chen was so moved that she burst into tears. Zhao Shanhe took the two brothers to his house. Aunt Chen had been suppressed for too long, so let her have a good cry.

"Second brother, third brother, I want to have a heart-to-heart talk with you today. Do you think that what I did today was wrong? Just tell me what you think," Zhao Shanhe asked

"Brother, I think you are right. Aunt Chen has worked hard in recent years. We should provide for her in her old age," Shanhu said.

"Me too" The third child read too many comic books.

"Second brother, third brother, the bicycle was bought with dad's pension. It belongs to all of us. Second brother, I feel sorry for you all these years. I haven't done anything for you. Third brother, I can still support you for a few more years. Second brother, don't resent me. If you have any ideas, just tell me." Zhao Shanhe smelled

"Brother, don't think too much. I'm actually quite satisfied. Look at the three brothers of the Liu family. I know you've been under a lot of pressure these years. You don't have to carry it all by yourself. You don't owe us anything," Shanhu replied.

"Okay, go to bed early," Zhao Shanhe said
