Siheyuan: Five mouths waiting for food at the beginning

After the graduation banquet, university was about to start. Zhao Shanhe had already applied for leave as the project he was working on had been completed, so his leader readily approved the leave.

Seeing Qin Jingru hesitate to speak at night, Zhao Shanhe still asked, "What's wrong? Just tell me what's going on?"

"Brother, I also want to go to Yangcheng. I have never been out of the city."

"Okay, then why don't you send An Tong there, and I'll stay at home to look after the child."

"Brother, I'm just saying this. You should take An Tong home. I don't know anything and I've never been far away."

"You, then let's go together. As for the child, let your mother-in-law come over to look after him for a few days. Xiaojun has his wife there, so it shouldn't be a problem."

"Brother, you are so kind. I will go to my mother tomorrow and tell her that my father, brother and brothers have made a lot of money with us over the years, so it is only right for my mother to look after the children for a few days."

"What you said, aren't they your brothers and parents? It doesn't matter who you use. You can feel more at ease using your own people.

By the way, my father-in-law is over 60 this year, and he is still working in the construction industry. I am afraid his health cannot bear it. I will go to ask him for his opinion this time. Let him retire and enjoy a few years of life.

"My eldest uncle's children are all grown up. You can go and tell my eldest uncle to follow our third brother."

"Brother, my nephews are working in construction with my brother, don't you know that? Why are they suddenly asked to work with the third brother?"

"How much money can you make by doing hard labor? If you follow the third brother and train him well for a few years, you can become a leader."

Qin Jingru felt that Zhao Shanhe must have other intentions. His eldest nephew didn't do any hard work and was just a small leader in the construction company.

This idea suddenly occurred to Zhao Shanhe. His father-in-law, uncle, and nephew, three generations, were in the same company. It was easy for them to become too powerful and have too much influence. It would be difficult to take back power in the future.

The first generation is close to the second generation. The power will be taken back sooner or later. Even the uncle will assist his son in the future, and it is enough for the relative to be a middle-level leader. If you don't make plans early, the construction company will easily become the uncle's in the future. Even if the uncle has no idea, what about his son and grandson? Human nature is the most difficult to test.

"Okay, you listen to me. I'll ask your nephews to go and report to the third brother. Tell your uncle that I said that the third brother is about to start work and the hotel is short of a person in charge. The nephews should study hard for a while and see if they can take on the responsibility."

"Brother, you are too kind to my mother's family. In my opinion, there is no need for my nephews to go to school. Being a small leader is good enough. What about our son in the future?

As for the second and third sons, they will be the heads of the group in a while. Other companies will also have heads. What will happen to our son in the future?"

"The second and third sons are my brothers, and it's not convenient for me to come forward. If they don't go, who will? Our eldest son just got into college this year. Even if he doesn't go to school, he can't support it.

We have the majority of the shares, and we have the final say in the company. The second and third sons are the spokespersons. I have my own plans, so if you don't understand, just ignore them. And please keep your little thoughts to yourself. The second and third sons are not outsiders."

"I see, brother. I'm just worried that our son won't have a job in the future."

"Okay, go to sleep. I know your little thoughts very well."

The next morning, Qin Jingru went to see her mother-in-law, and Zhao Shanhe went to work.

After get off work in the afternoon, Zhao Shanhe came to the courtyard again, ready to chat with Aunt Chen. He planned to take Aunt Chen out for a walk this time, as Aunt Chen had worked hard over the years.

"Shanhe, you're here? Then why don't we have dinner here?"

"Okay, Aunt Chen, your cooking is still the best. I like your cooking."

"What's wrong? Jingru's cooking isn't tasty anymore?"

"Not really. She's OK. At least she's edible. The main problem is that she doesn't taste like Aunt Chen's. I've been eating Aunt Chen's food for decades and I'm used to the taste. I'll miss it if I don't eat it for a while."

"By the way, Aunt Chen, why are you alone at home? Where are my nephews?"

"School is about to start, and we haven't had enough fun yet. Amber took some of her brothers out to play and they haven't come back yet."

"Is there nothing going on in the yard?"

"Shanhe, I was just about to tell you that Liu Haizhong in the backyard is not doing well. He probably won't make it through this year."

"What's going on? Didn't Second Aunt serve me well? I could eat and drink, so why is it that I can't do it anymore?"

"I don't know what happened. I was hospitalized again a few days ago. Now I don't even recognize people. I'm completely paralyzed in bed."

“Okay, I’ll go check it out after dinner. Find me two bottles of wine from Lao Er’s house and I’ll carry them.

"Where is the eldest brother of the Liu family? Has he ever come back?"

"Are you talking about Liu Guangqi? I haven't seen him come back. Liu Guangtian comes here quite often, but the third son of the Liu family came back yesterday. He has changed so much that I didn't recognize him."

"Who are you talking about? Liu Guangfu is back. He has been away for more than ten years."

"Yes, it's been more than ten years. I was just a little kid back then, and now my kids are teenagers. Time flies, and we've all grown old."

"Aunt Chen, you are not old, you are still young, you look almost the same as my sister."

"Shanhe, please stop trying to make me happy. I'm already in my 50s, almost 60, how can I not age?"

"Aunt Chen, what nonsense are you talking about? You are almost 60 years old. You are only a few years older than me."

"By the way, I came back this time just to look for you. School is about to start, and An Tong is going to Yangcheng, so I'm going to see him off. I'm going to take you out for a walk. You've been so hard-working taking care of the kids and cooking for the three of us over the years."

“Shanhe, what’s so hard about this? Just ask how many people don’t like to take care of their grandchildren. Others want to take care of them but don’t have any yet. It’s easier to take care of children than to be in the countryside.

I won’t go to Guangzhou. Amber is in college, and so are Ansong and Anquan. If I leave, no one will take care of them. "

"It's okay. Let Sister Dongmei help take care of the baby for a few days. She is taking care of He Hua now, so it should be no problem for her to help take care of the baby for a few days. I'll go talk to her later."

"Shanhe, I really won't go,"

"Okay, Aunt Chen, just listen to me and go out for a walk. It's not good to stay at home all the time."

"But"

"Aunt Chen, don't say but, just listen to me, I'm going to go find Sister Dongmei."

As soon as Zhao Shanhe went out, he ran into the third uncle, "Shanhe, I was just about to look for you, let's have a drink together, I'll ask your third aunt to prepare the food."

"Okay, I'll have a few drinks with you later. It's been a long time since I've had a drink with you."

"Okay, okay, I'll wait for you." After saying that, the third uncle put his hands behind his back and went home.

Zhao Shanhe saw that the old man was quite energetic.

When I arrived at the central courtyard, I first ran into Jia Zhang, who was watching her great-grandson playing.

"Aunt Jia, I haven't seen you for a long time. You seem to be getting healthier and healthier. Are you feeling well?"

"Shanhe, you're here. Come in quickly. I'll make you some tea. It's all thanks to you that Banggeng has become a manager. My life is getting better and better. I'm in good health and can eat and drink well. It's just that I'm old and still have some minor health problems."
