Siheyuan: Five mouths waiting for food at the beginning

"Young man, please drive slower."

"Okay, old lady, are you feeling unwell? How about we turn around and go back?"

Jia Zhang was almost angry to death. It was her first time to ride in a car and she wanted to sit for a while longer. It was not that she felt uncomfortable, but with her health condition, she enjoyed everything she ate.

"No, I feel very comfortable. Where are you from, young man? Are you married?"

Jia Zhang began to change the subject, but her eyes were still looking around the car, and her hands were not idle, touching left and right.

Qin Huairu looked a little bad. She felt a little dizzy and wanted to vomit.

"Mom, why don't you go home and eat? Bang Geng has been busy all day and hasn't eaten yet."

"Don't worry, Huairu. It's not easy to get on the bus. We don't know when the next one will be. We can eat anytime."

Zhao Shanhu had finished his meal. It was very hot in autumn, so he was enjoying the cool air at the door. Unexpectedly, the third uncle came over again.

"Uncle, can you take a break? Tomorrow, I will let you take the bus tomorrow."

“No gas fee?”

"no charge"

"Shanhu, Juqi, Third Master has always believed that you can do something since you were young."

Shanhu thought to himself, I don’t know who said that when he was a child, he was like a dumb gourd, and couldn’t make a single sound even if you hit him with three sticks.

Zhao Shanhu didn't respond. He didn't expect the third uncle to take advantage of the situation and said, "Shanhu, you bought so many cars at once. It's one of the best in the compound. Why don't you celebrate by treating everyone to a meal?"

"The car belongs to the company, not to me personally, so there's no need to celebrate.

Besides, Third Uncle, life is good now. It’s not like you couldn’t eat well before and you need to set up a few tables to satisfy your hunger. You can just cook something delicious yourself.”

"I'm used to it. Let me tell you, Shanhu, although life is good now, you can't be poor if you don't have enough food and drink. If you don't plan well, you will be poor. You still have to be frugal in your life."

"You're right. Forget about the treat. If you really want to eat, let Jiefang arrange it for you. Let's go to Sihai Restaurant."

"That's not good. I've always heard that Sihai Restaurant is a restaurant for rich people. I also want to go and see what delicacies they have."

Although the third uncle said that it was not a good idea, he couldn't stop looking at her with longing.

"Let the liberation arrange it,"

"Can you bring your three aunts with you?"

"Sure. We can free up his salary later."

"Shanhu, why are you still deducting my salary?"

"Uncle, look at what you said. This company is not owned by me alone. It has costs. Even when I go out to eat, I have to pay for it.

Otherwise, if I bring one today and one tomorrow, wouldn’t that be a bad debt? Even though there are restaurants, don’t I always eat at home? "

It’s not that Zhao Shanhu was reluctant to give up this meal, but the third uncle was too shameless. He agreed to this today, and wanted that tomorrow. It was too shameless for him to take advantage of him.

Seeing that he couldn't get any advantage, the third uncle went back to being a door god.

It was already dark when Jia Zhang and his group came back. Jia Zhang was still a little reluctant to leave, while Qin Huairu went straight to the toilet. Of course, she was not there because she was holding it in, but because she wanted to vomit.

"Sister-in-law, you're back. Tell me what it feels like to ride in a car."

While asking questions, the third uncle did not forget to take out a small notebook. He wanted to write down his feelings so that he could have a better experience when riding the bus tomorrow.

Jia Zhang was talking so excitedly that spit flew all over the place, talking about things like the sky falling and golden lotuses emerging from the ground, and the Third Uncle was listening with great interest.

Later, those who had finished their meal had nothing to do, so they all gathered around Jia Zhang and listened to her talk about her experience of riding in a car.

It was not until Pang Ya came out and called Jia Zhang to go home for dinner that Jia Zhang went back reluctantly. It was so nice to be the center of attention.

"You guys are not destined to ride in a car in this life. It's your fault that you are not as hardworking as my Banggeng."

Jia Zhang's old habit of foul mouth came back again. In the past, she was foul-mouthed in order to play a double act with Qin Huairu, in which she played the good guy and played the villain. Today, she couldn't help but be foul-mouthed again. The problem was that she had already been given a car, so she, Jia Zhang, couldn't keep a low profile.

After Jia Zhang left, the neighbors said, "Bah, why are you so arrogant? You are just relying on the Zhao family for help. Otherwise, with Bang Geng's sneaky nature, what would he achieve? The Zhao family is not as arrogant as Jia Zhang."

"That's it. What the hell is that?"

"Uncle, your two sons are also working for the Zhao family, why don't they have cars?"

Before the third uncle could say anything, another neighbor said, "Didn't you hear what Jia Zhang said? His grandson is now the general manager. Only general managers are given cars. The third uncle's son is still Bang Geng's subordinate, so he doesn't qualify."

"That's what Jia Zhang said. It seems that the Liu family brothers and Sha Zhu also didn't have cars. Now these people are under Bang Geng's control.

It’s no wonder that Jia Zhang is so arrogant. If my grandson was so capable, I would be arrogant too.”

"Uncle Three, Aunt Two, your son is not good enough. Banggeng is still a junior, and he is suppressed by a junior."

The second aunt left first. "My old man can't be left alone. I'm going back first."

"Uncle, are you okay? Let's chat for a while. It's so hot today and you won't be able to sleep if you go back." The neighbor said hurriedly when he saw that Uncle was about to run away.

The third uncle couldn't run away, so he could only chat with these people. After a while, Sha Zhu came back.

The third uncle watched Sha Zhu coming back on his bicycle. He knew that Sha Zhu was very concerned about his reputation, so he found a breakthrough.

"Is the idiot back?"

"Is the Third Master cold?"

"Well, you idiot, you can't do that. Why did you come back on a bicycle? Isn't this your apprentice? He has a car, so why don't you have a car as his master?"

"Uncle, this joke is about me being an apprentice at the steel mill. Now I am a manager. Only managers can afford cars.

As a cook, my job is to serve people. Have you ever seen a cook being provided with a car from ancient times to the present?

Both of your sons are middle-level managers, and you are still asking why your sons haven't become general managers or have cars. Don't stir up trouble with me."

After saying that, Sha Zhu didn't even give the uncle a chance to speak and just pushed his bicycle home.

Although Sha Zhu said that, he still complained to Ma Dongmei after returning home, "You said that this Banggen has a car. I heard that Xu Damao's grandson also got a car. Why is there no car for me?"

"You are a cook, you stay in the kitchen all day. Where would you go if they gave you a car? Did someone in the courtyard say something? Aren't these people just trying to sow discord?

Shanhe has been very good to you, letting you take over your father's job. Your salary is higher than Banggeng's. What else are you not satisfied with? Just live your own life and let those people talk."

"Hey, I know, it's just a few complaints."

After returning home, the second aunt asked Guangfu, "Guangfu, what's going on? Why didn't you and your second brother go up? Look at how proud Jia Zhang is."
