Siheyuan: Five mouths waiting for food at the beginning

"Dad, don't you have any requirements for your future daughter-in-law?"

"What do you want? Come over here every day to greet me or something? This is not the feudal era anymore.

I dare say that you will never live with us in the future. You will live with them for the rest of your life. If you think it is good, it is good; if you think it is not good, it is not good.

If I say this is not suitable for you and prevent you from being together, will you run away from home, or will you have a conflict with your father and hate him for the rest of your life?

Your father and I don't have any idea of ​​political marriage or equal status, so only your feet know whether the shoes fit you or not. It's up to you to choose your future partner, and whether the future will be good or bad depends on you.

No matter who you choose to marry, I, your father, will give you my blessing."

"Dad, would you be happy if I found an old lady?"

"I am happy with it. Anyway, it's you I face every day, not me. Why shouldn't I be happy?"

"Dad, I want to discuss something with you."

"Do you want to help that girl?"

"Dad, how do you know?"

"How should I know? Because I'm your father."

"Dad, do you agree?"

"Does the girl know?"

"I haven't told her about your job, Dad. I just said that my family runs a small business in Sijiu City.

But when she came over in the afternoon and saw that we were living here, she still had doubts.”

Zhao Shanhe didn't expect this guy to be so low-key. Other young people whose families have some money would want to let all the girls in the world know.

"It's not appropriate not to say it, just say your father is an engineer. Anyway, you don't know what your father does specifically. We are engineers to the outside world.

As for business, his father is in the wholesale business. Are you interested in our clothing or electronics factory?"

"Dad, can you please accept my offer?"

"Son, giving timely help is far better than adding icing on the cake. Things that are easily obtained are often not cherished."

"I know, Dad. I've secretly learned that his father's business is not very good. He can't get good sources of goods, and he doesn't have a fixed partner."

"Then what is your identity?"

"What do you mean? Dad?"

"I mean, in what capacity are you helping? Future son-in-law?"

"Yes, Yiyun's father wants her to marry the son of a factory owner for the purpose of long-term cooperation. I will go to their house after asking for your consent."

"So you haven't been to her house yet, and his father doesn't recognize you?"

"Well, her family didn't know that I was dating her. This time when she came to Sijiu City, Yiyun also said that she came to Sijiu City to play with her female classmates. After returning, her father arranged for her to meet the boss's son."

"This is a bit similar to your uncle and aunt. One wants to marry his daughter to the benefactor's descendants in order to repay the favor, and the other wants to marry the boss's son for profit. However, it is less difficult than your uncle and aunt."

"Dad, aren't Third Uncle and Third Aunt still living well?"

"You know nothing. It was your father who used his power to bully others. It's only in the past two years that the relationship between your third uncle and his father-in-law has eased. They never had any contact with each other before. Your third aunt must be very upset."

"Dad, my situation is different from that of Third Uncle. The company his dad wants to cooperate with is not as big as my company. As long as we offer cooperation, there will be absolutely no problem."

"Fine"

"Dad, do you agree?"

"Well, this is a small matter. If you don't come home, just go to your uncle or uncle-in-law. I guess they will help you. It doesn't matter who you give the goods to."

"Actually, I have talked to my uncle and aunt-in-law. They wanted to call you to ask for your opinion, but I didn't let them. I wanted to let Dad meet the girl first."

"Is the girl still kept in the dark by you?"

"Well, she didn't know. She didn't want to marry the son of that boss. I told her that my father could solve the problem, so she came with me to the Forbidden City."

"You are really good at keeping your cool. It's obvious that your uncle and uncle-in-law can handle it, or they can call me. I don't know who you learned these tricks to coax a little girl from."

"Dad, I'm afraid you'll refuse. Although my uncle and aunt-in-law love me, they also listen to you, so they have to deal with you."

"Okay, that's it. I'll call your uncle and uncle tomorrow to tell them."

"Okay, go to bed, it's getting late. Take the girl out for a good stroll tomorrow. Don't be reluctant to spend money."

"Well, Dad, then you should go to bed early too."

"Don't forget to come back early in the afternoon. We still have to go to your second uncle's house. Your grandma will be very happy."

"Don't worry, Dad. I won't forget it."

-

"Manager, are you home? I'll help you up."

"Ah, we're here so soon? No, I'm not drunk. You should go back quickly. I'm sorry to bother you today. Take this cigarette." Banggeng threw a pack of cigarettes to the driver.

When Banggeng arrived home, in addition to his son, his grandmother, mother, and daughter-in-law were waiting for him in the living room.

"Bang Geng, you're back. Is everything alright?" Several people quickly stood up and came to greet him.

"Didn't I ask the driver to come back and tell you that he was drinking with my uncle? Didn't he tell you?"

"Said, then your uncle didn't make things difficult for you?"

"Grandma, what are you talking about? Why is my uncle making things difficult for me for no reason?"

"Mom, I told you that you're overthinking it,"

After the driver came, Jia Zhang imagined a big drama in her mind. Zhao Shanhe might keep Banggeng because Banggeng made a mistake and wanted to fire him. She analyzed the situation to her family.

"Grandma, what are you thinking about? An Tong brought his girlfriend back, and the Third Master is also at my uncle's place. They were bored drinking, so they asked me to keep them company. It's my fault for not telling the driver clearly."

"Great, is that true?"

"Um"

"Then why do you look so sad?"

"Grandma, Mom, I want to sell the building."

"Oh my goodness, we've only had a few good days, why are we selling the building again? What happened to Banggeng?"

Jia Zhang's face was full of worry, Qin Huairu's face turned pale, and Pang Ya's face was also full of worry.

"Grandma, Mom, don't worry, nothing happened, just listen to me."

Pilipala told Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu about Zhao Shanhe's analysis.

"If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer the consequences. I told you to ask your uncle before making a decision. Now, you have only lived in the house you just bought for a few days?"

"Bang Geng, your grandmother is old and Yao Zu is still young. It's winter now. If you move around, something bad will happen. Why don't you wait until you have money to buy it? Didn't your uncle say decades later?"

"Sell"

"Mom, how are you?"

“Now that you know this, you should act sooner rather than later. Otherwise, in a few years, all the good houses will be bought by others.

I am in good health and have lived here for decades, but I still feel overwhelmed by the heat in this building."

"Grandma, Mom, it's decided then. You guys should look for a buyer during this time, and also look for places that sell courtyard houses."

"Okay, your mom and I will go and ask in the next few days."

"Well, grandma, you should look for the ones with independent ownership. My uncle said that kind is valuable."
