Siheyuan: Five mouths waiting for food at the beginning

After Zhao Shanhe and the other two finished drinking, Erya came over and said, "Brother, Wang Ming asked when you are free. His parents invited you to dinner to discuss the marriage."

"You know me. I'm always available. Just ask them to set a date and I'll go over there when the time comes."

"Got it, big brother. I'll tell him later."

"Well, try to do it as soon as possible. The dowry I prepared for you will become old if I keep it for a long time."

"Brother, are you so anxious to marry me off?"

"What's wrong? Are you not getting married yet? If you don't get married, you will be twenty-one and become an old maid."

"Humph, then I won't get married and will take care of your nephews and nieces."

"Forget it. You're so infatuated with Wang Ming all day long, and you can't wait to marry him. You even bring your nephews and nieces with you, but it's your nephews and nieces who are waiting for you to come home every day."

"I can't argue with you, so I won't talk to you anymore."

"That's facts speak louder than words."

Qin Jingru came with her child, and Erya complained to Qin Jingru, "Sister-in-law, my brother bullied me, do you care?"

Who knew that Qin Jingru said seriously, "I can't control it. You know I listen to your eldest brother."

"Oh, sister-in-law, can't you say a few nice words to comfort me?"

"Auntie, shame on you," several children said with their eyes peeled.

"You guys have no conscience. My aunt loves you in vain. You still dare to make fun of me. Your daddy bullies me, so I will bully you." After saying that, she started tickling the children.

The time was quickly booked, for Tuesday after get off work, and the location was still the Tomato Restaurant.

Zhao Shanhe went with Aunt Chen and Zhao Shanhu. She was Aunt Chen's daughter, so Aunt Chen had to check things out. Zhao Shanhu was just brought in to support the occasion. Of course, Erya was there too, as one of the protagonists had to be there.

The ones who came from Wang Ming's side were her parents and Wang Ming. After both parties sat down, Wang Ming and Erya introduced each other.

When it was Zhao Shanhe's turn to be introduced, Wang Ming's father said enthusiastically, "No need to introduce him. I know Mr. Zhao. I didn't expect to become his relative. District Chief Li has mentioned you to me a lot. You are really a handsome man with great potential at a young age."

"Uncle Wang, you're too polite. You are Wang Ming's father. Is it okay for me to call you that? You can also call me Shanhe. Calling me Engineer Zhao is too unfamiliar. Could you please tell me where you work?" Just now, Wang Ming only introduced himself as his father, and all he knew about Zhao Shanhe was that he worked in the government.

"Okay, then I'll call you Shanhe. I work in the finance department, right in the same district as District Chief Li, and I have a good relationship with him."

After the two leaders got to know each other, the atmosphere at the table became cheerful, as they ate, drank and chatted.

"Shanhe, the date is set for next Wednesday. I asked someone to check it out. It's a good day. What do you think?"

"Okay, I have no objection, let's do it next Wednesday."

"Shanhe, and mother-in-law, this is what I want to say. Do you think it's okay? Now we are not allowed to hold a grand ceremony, so we won't invite anyone to dinner. We can just have a meal together at this place. What do you think?"

"Uncle Wang, even if you don't say it, I will say that I agree with you. It's really not appropriate to hold a grand ceremony now."

Soon the two families reached an agreement on a dowry of 8.8 yuan, which was auspicious, and they would get married next Wednesday.

It's weekend again, Zhao Shanhe is staying in bed again

"Brother, get up quickly. There's a girl outside looking for you," Qin Jingru shouted.

"Who is it? It's a girl I don't even know." Zhao Shanhe thought about it for a while. He really didn't know if he knew that girl and would come to him.

"She said her name was Zhou Xiaozhou"

"Oh, it's her."

Qin Jingru didn't say anything, but continued to help Zhao Shanhe put on his clothes and wash his face.

Zhao Shanhe thought it would be better to talk to Qin Jingru. "Jingru, don't think too much. Zhou Xiaozhou is the daughter of Uncle Zhou, the Uncle Zhou who helped Shanhai. Maybe she wants to ask me something. Maybe it's about Shanhai."

"I didn't think much about it. Brother, you don't have to explain to me. You've been so good to me, and I'm uneducated. I don't mind if you find me. I'm not worthy of you in the first place. You just need to be good to me and the child."

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm already a father of three children, and the girl hasn't even married yet. If your words get out, it'll be a disaster. Besides, I've been saying this for so many years. Am I that kind of person?"

"Brother, I'm telling the truth. Don't worry, even if it's true, I won't tell anyone."

I was fucking mentally broken. No wonder netizens said that if you find Qin Jingru as your wife, as long as you treat her well, she won't say anything even if you have a mistress. It turns out to be true.

Zhao Shanhe didn't know that it was actually Qin Jingru's father and mother who brainwashed Qin Jingru, saying that Zhao Shanhe was a big leader at a young age and had found a job for their family, so they were marrying up, and leaders all liked to have a child outside.

Zhao Shanhe is young, handsome and capable, so there will definitely be girls who like him. When the time comes, Qin Jingru can turn a blind eye. Qin Jingru also thinks that what his parents said makes sense, so what happened today happened.

"What a silly girl! You are willing to give up your husband to someone else. Let me tell you again, I have only met that Zhou Xiaozhou once, and I don't know why she came to see me."

"I'm not willing to accept it, but I'm already content. Really, even if you raise one, I won't tell anyone."

"I'm really impressed. I've never seen you so stupid."

Soon, with the help of Qin Jingru, Zhao Shanhe got dressed and washed.

When we arrived at the front yard, Zhou Xiaozhou was playing with Zhao Shanhe and several other children.

"Xiao Zhou, I'm sorry. I like to stay in bed on weekends. I kept you waiting for a long time. Jing Ru, why don't you let someone come in and sit down?"

"Shanhe, don't blame your sister-in-law. I was just bored sitting there, so I came out again. It's nice to play with the child. Brother Shanhe, your child is really sensible."

"Xiao Zhou, have you eaten? Come in and have something to eat."

"Brother Shanhe, I've eaten. If you haven't eaten yet, you can eat first. I'm fine."

Qin Jingru quickly brought out Zhao Shanhe's bowl. Zhao Shanhe drank the rice porridge and asked, "Xiaozhou, what do you want to see me for?"

"Brother Shanhe, you forgot that you said you would introduce me to someone. My parents are driving me crazy. I came here to ask you."

Zhao Shanhe didn't expect that it was just a polite remark, but the girl actually took it seriously.

In fact, Zhou Xiaozhou was annoyed by her parents' urging, so she came to Zhao Shanhe for refuge. She originally wanted to find her best friend, but for some unknown reason she came here.

"Xiao Zhou, I haven't found one yet. You are so outstanding, I have to introduce you to an outstanding one."

"Brother Shanhe, let me tell you the truth. My parents urged me to come to you for refuge. You won't be unwelcome, right?"

Zhao Shanhe said that he was indeed not welcome, and his wife was stupid and could easily misunderstand, but since you said so, I can only say "welcome, how can I not welcome."
