Siheyuan: Five mouths waiting for food at the beginning

Zhao Shanhe got up early the next morning. He slept so comfortably on the big kang, especially after drinking some wine.

In the morning, Qin's mother prepared millet soup and white flour steamed buns for him, while everyone else had porridge and cornmeal steamed buns, which made Zhao Shanhe feel embarrassed, but Zhao Shanhe didn't say anything. He was not stupid. He would rather eat the bad than the good.

"Dad, Mom, uncle, brother-in-law, I have something to tell you. I was planning to tell you yesterday, but I didn't mention it because dad fell asleep," Zhao Shanhe said.

"You all know that I'm an engineer, but I didn't say anything specific. I work in the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry, but I'm just a temporary position there. Now I'm working in a steel mill. I have a good relationship with their director. Now the steel mill is going to expand its recruitment, so they gave me a spot. Do you want to be a worker?" Zhao Shanhe asked.

"Son-in-law, (brother-in-law, brother-in-law) are you serious?" the Qin family's father and sons asked at the same time, all of them were extremely excited. Workers have a high status these days, and working hard in the countryside for a year can only save a dozen yuan. Who doesn't want to be a worker?

The Qin family didn't expect that their son-in-law was so capable that he could get a worker quota. They thought it was just one, but they didn't expect that Zhao Shanhe had five.

"Son-in-law, why don't you let Xiaojun go? I'm old too. The eldest son should give this opportunity to the second son, so that he can get married in the future." Qin's father is actually not very old, just in his early forties.

"Really, Dad?" Qin Xiaojun was very excited.

"Okay, Dad." Although Qin Xiaobing was a little disappointed, he agreed (Qin Xiaobing is the eldest brother-in-law)

"Dad, it's my fault for not explaining it clearly. If you want to go, go ahead. I have several places in my hand. The only problem is whether there is enough space at home," Zhao Shanhe said.

After Zhao Shanhe finished speaking, the Qin family members were extremely excited. They didn't expect that they could all become workers.

"No problem. The land is now cultivated collectively, and we can't make much money in a year." Qin's father said

Zhao Shanhe said, "Dad, think about what kind of job you want to do, and tell me next time I come. I will arrange for your sister-in-law to work in the kitchen, it's not tiring, and the food is good. I won't arrange for your mother, so please help your eldest brother-in-law look after the children." (Qin Xiaojun's children are three years old and two years old, both sons, a true report of two for three years)

Qin Xiaobing's wife didn't expect that she would have her own business, so she quickly asked, "Can I also be a worker?"

"Women hold up half the sky, why can't you?" Zhao Shanhe said

Then Zhao Shanhe took the bag and took out the letter of certification. Otherwise, who would believe him if he was told to throw everything away without any evidence?

Zhao Shanhe then explained what each job was, and told them to choose by themselves, and to arrange their families during this time. When he came over for the Chinese New Year, they would move in directly, and he would rent a house for them in time for the Chinese New Year. They could live in the staff dormitory, but it was definitely not possible for them to bring their families with them.

"Brother, what about me? Can I also be a worker?" Qin Jingru asked

"I will definitely not forget you. I have already made arrangements," Zhao Shanhe said.

Everyone says this girl is stupid. No wonder. I have arranged everything for her family, but how could I forget about her?

"Jingru, go get the letter of introduction, we'll be leaving soon," Zhao Shanhe said

"Brother, I opened it yesterday, take a look," Qin Jingru said

When Zhao Shanhe left, the handlebars of the bike were full of things, including two old hens, a large piece of bacon, two dried rabbits, and Qin Jingru was also holding a small bag of flour. Wow, they must have emptied the house of good things.

Zhao Shanhe thought that he would have no choice but to take some, so he decided to bring more things during the New Year.

Then he took Qin Jingru and prepared to go back. Zhao Shanhe was so tired and sweating along the way that he told him not to ride a bike next time no matter what. If he rides a bike again, I will be a dog.

Zhao Shanhe put the things in the front yard. After all, he was eating in the front yard. He planned to get the marriage certificate first, and then take Qin Jingru to the back to visit his house.

I didn't see anyone in the front yard. The third uncle was in class, and the women were probably chatting in the middle yard.

Then I went to the street office and successfully received a big award certificate. I wanted to post a circle of friends, but I didn’t have a mobile phone.

Then I took Qin Jingru to the photo studio to take two photos, which cost eight yuan. Taking photos is really expensive these days.

I was thinking about taking a family photo with my whole family this weekend.

At noon, I went to Quanjude to have a meal of roast duck, and then went to the supply and marketing cooperative to find Aunt Chen to buy wedding candy, melon seeds and snacks.

Finally, I made up my mind and bought a sewing machine for 280 yuan, just to complete the package.

I found a sewist outside and paid him three cents for it. I took the sewing machine and followed them home.

"Uncle, have some candy. I'm married. This is my wife, Qin Jingru." As soon as I got to the door, I met Uncle San.

"Shanhe, you're getting married, so you have to set up two tables," said the third uncle.

"Uncle, look outside. I just bought a sewing machine. All the money in the family has been spent. We can't make ends meet. How can we afford to set up two tables? Could you please lend me a hundred yuan?" Zhao Shanhe said.

"Then you have to give me more peanuts and sunflower seeds. I have a big family," the third uncle said again

"Okay, Third Uncle, I'll give you a lot." This Third Uncle is really Yan Laokou, even peanuts and melon seeds are calculated

After Zhao Shanhe parked his bicycle, he went to move the sewing machine. He and Ban Ye placed the sewing machine in Aunt Chen's room. Aunt Chen's room was big and could be used by the whole family. In the future, the brothers would not need to buy a new one. One would be enough.

Then he took Qin Jingru back to the backyard. When he passed the middle yard, he introduced Qin Jingru to Auntie Yier and other neighbors such as Jia Zhang. He would not distribute the wedding candies now, but would deliver them door to door after get off work.

Wait till Zhao Shanhe returns home

The second aunt said, "The Zhao family boy is really quick. He got married so quickly."

Then he asked Jia Zhang, "Sister-in-law Jia, what is the relationship between Qin Jingru and Qin Huairu? Their names sound similar."

Jia Zhang said, "I'll ask Huairu when she comes back. I don't know either." Qin Jingru hadn't been here yet, and Jia Zhang didn't know her.

At this time, Xiaodang, who was playing nearby, said, "That's my aunt. I saw her when I went back to my grandpa's house during the Chinese New Year."

Jia Zhang was very happy now, thinking to herself, this kid is our relative now, should we help our family? She planned to discuss it after Qin Huairu came back.

Qin Jingru entered the house and touched around. She was very happy to find that all the furniture was new. There was also running water and a bathroom. What made her happiest was that there was a radio.

Qin Jingru couldn't wait to listen to the radio, and when it made a sound, she was extremely surprised.

After listening for only a few minutes, Qin Jingru felt uncomfortable in her stomach and spent the whole afternoon in the toilet. Fortunately, Zhao Shanhe's house had a toilet, otherwise she would not have been able to run there in time.

I didn't eat greasy food for a long time, and suddenly I ate roast duck and had diarrhea.
