Siheyuan: Five mouths waiting for food at the beginning

"My eldest brother is a college graduate and a chief engineer, managing tens of thousands of people, so of course his salary is high."

"Why don't you go and ask Big Brother to arrange a job for you? It's better than crawling around in the fields."

"What about you, the kids? What about dad and the second and third brothers? If I go to ask my eldest brother for help, what will they do? Won't that make things difficult for my eldest brother? When will people be content? Our family is already doing well in the village now.

Take this house for example. It is the best in the village. We have a lot of laborers in our family. Life will be better. Don't think about making things difficult for Big Brother. Big Brother doesn't owe us anything. We should learn to be content. "

"Boss, I listen to you. I think you are right. At first, I didn't dare to think about living in a new house. I just wanted to have enough to eat. Now I have enough to eat. I was too greedy."

"Wife, you smell really good today. Why don't you give Si Niu a younger brother?"

"Um"

The topics discussed in Zhao Shannan and Zhao Shanbei's houses were similar, and after the discussion they also discussed the children.

Zhao Shanhe got up early the next morning. He thought he was early enough, but unexpectedly, the meal was already ready.

After finishing the meal, I came to Uncle San again and said, "Uncle San, how do I get to the city? Let me see if there are any tickets. I'm ready to go back."

"Shanhe, you just arrived, why are you leaving? Is it because your uncle didn't treat you well enough? Stay a few more days. I'll ask Shandong for leave and let him take you out for a few days."

"Uncle San, it's nothing. I came here mainly to see you and my third brother and his family. You are busy too, so I won't bother you. I have things to do back there, and my sister is getting married too."

"Okay, there is a train, but I don't know if it can come. I'll borrow a bullock cart to take you there later."

"Uncle San, if there is a car, I will go by myself. I have already disturbed you from work, and I can't delay your time any longer. I will go ask Grandma and Second Aunt if they are coming back."

Soon I found my grandma and my second aunt. "Grandma, my second aunt, I'm going back. Do you want to stay for a while or come back with me?"

"Shanhe is leaving now? He just got here." The old lady obviously didn't want to go back.

"Shanhe, why don't you go back first, I'll stay with the old lady for a while, I don't have much to do over there."

"Okay, Second Aunt, then you take good care of grandma and stay healthy. I'll be leaving soon and I'll go say goodbye to everyone."

"Shanhai, I'm leaving first. Please take care of Duoduo's health. She's pregnant. And the old lady won't leave either, so you should also pay attention to her."

"Got it, big brother. Be careful on the road. This is Erya and mom's money. Take it back. Erya is getting married soon. It's a pity that I can't attend the wedding. Please apologize to her for me."

"Why don't you keep it for now? Duoduo will need money when she's pregnant."

"Brother, what I brought is really enough. You can see that there is not much to spend money here."

"Duoduo, take care of yourself. Big brother will let you go back as soon as possible."

"Brother, don't worry, I'm fine, don't let me get you into trouble."

"Well, then I'm leaving."

Zhao Shanhe found his third uncle, who was packing something by himself. "Third uncle, take it. My nephew didn't bring anything this time." Zhao Shanhe took out two hundred yuan and stuffed it into his third uncle's pocket.

"What are you doing? I don't want it. You secretly slipped money into my pocket when I came back last time." Uncle San insisted on refusing.

"Uncle, please listen to me. It is easier for me to make money than for you. Please take care of your health. I will also trouble you to look after Shanhai. He is still a child." Zhao Shanhe stuffed the money into his hands again.

"I wanted to bring you some seafood, but that stuff won't keep well and will go bad when you bring it back. Take this bag of rice. Uncle San doesn't have any good stuff here, so don't despise it."

"Uncle, what are you talking about? How could your nephew dislike it? But your family is not well-off, so I'm saving it for you. You're only in your early forties, and you've worked so hard. Save the rice for your health."

"Shanhe, listen to me. It doesn't matter to me whether I eat this rice or not, but I will be happy if you eat it. So listen to me and take it."

"Okay, uncle, I'll take it."

"That's right."

I went to Shandong to say goodbye to everyone and packed my things. "Everyone, come and visit Sijiucheng when you have time."

"Brother, take these pancakes and green onions with you on the train, and take this water with you as well." No wonder I didn't see my sister-in-law just now, it turns out she went to make pancakes.

"Uncle San, you guys go to work. I can walk by myself." The whole family came to the door to see me off.

"It's okay. It doesn't matter if you're late. Once you get in the car, we'll go."

After much anticipation, the bus finally arrived and Zhao Shanhe took the first step on his return journey.

The bus was shaky and not as comfortable as the ox cart. Finally, they arrived at the train station. The train was not for the next morning, so he found a guesthouse to stay in for the night. He went back to his third uncle's house to bother his uncle, but he had a letter of introduction with him so he was not afraid of not being able to stay in a guesthouse.

Early the next morning, he finally got on the train back, and it was a sleeper train. This time, there were obviously more people going to Sijiucheng than when they came here.

I have to say, this pancake with green onions is really filling. He didn’t finish it even after getting off the train.

After finding a place to stay, Zhao Shanhe returned home quickly. He felt that all the time was spent on the journey. Fortunately, airplanes were more convenient in later times and he arrived home in more than an hour.

It was noon when I got home and the little ones were playing at the door.

"Little Anrong, come here and let daddy hug you. Daddy misses you so much. Do you miss daddy?"

"I want this place, this place, and this place." Little An Rong pointed all over his body.

"Shanhe, you're back. How is Shanhai over there? And your third uncle?" Aunt Chen came out to see the children.

"Shanhai is doing well. Aunt Chen has good news for you. Duoduo is pregnant. My uncle and his family are too busy harvesting wheat these days. I didn't want to disturb them, so I came back."

"Really? That's great. I'm going to be a grandmother again. Watching you get married and have children one by one, I'm happy from the bottom of my heart. I'll go cook for you."

"Don't do it. I'm not hungry. I still have some leftover pancakes with green onions. I'm just a little tired. I'm going to take a shower and take a nap first."

After taking a shower and having a nice sleep, I didn’t expect that everyone who went to work or school had already returned.

"If you don't wake up, I'm going to call you. Get up and eat." Qin Jingru said.

"I'm getting up now. Please wash the clothes I wore. They stink of sweat."

"Aunt Chen washed it a long time ago, and it's dry now. I took it back."

"Here, Aunt Chen said this is the money in your pocket,"

"Go draw another two hundred yuan from our bank. This is Aunt Chen and Erya's money. I used two hundred yuan."

During the meal, Zhao Shanhe returned the money to Aunt Chen. "He returned it because Shanhai didn't need it."

"If you want to use the mountains, rivers and lakes, just tell me. I have no place to spend money at home."

"Girl, give this to me. Let your man save your money in the future." Aunt Chen gave Erya her money again.

"Brother, I heard from Aunt Chen that Duoduo is pregnant. Is it true?"

"Um"

"The third child is all right. He's going to be a father too. He's finally grown up."
