Siheyuan: Five mouths waiting for food at the beginning

"Hello uncle"

"Uncle San, Daniu, come in and sit down. When did you come back?"

Zhao Shanhe welcomed his third uncle and the grandfather and grandson Da Niu in, and Qin Jingru served them tea.

Zhao Shanhe lit a cigarette for his uncle, who said as he smoked, "I came back two days ago. My eldest grandson is taking the college entrance exam, and the other grandsons are on vacation. I came back to see them. I'll be back in a few days.

The school and ancestral hall over there have already started to be renovated, I have to go back and help out."

Zhao Shanhe also smoked a cigarette, sat opposite Shanhe and said, "Didn't I ask Shannan to go back? He will be able to keep an eye on things. You are almost sixty years old, so let the young people do the hard work."

Uncle San performed a three-puff cigarette, "Shanhe, you're the only one who won't let me work. People in the village who are over 60 or 70 years old are still working in the fields.

I am only in my fifties and can still work for a few more years. Watching the new ancestral hall and the new school rising from the ground day by day, I feel relieved and happy every day. I feel happy working here. "

"Okay, Third Uncle, be happy. If you're happy to do it, I won't stop you. Just take care of yourself."

Zhao Shanhe turned to Qin Jingru and said, "Cook some more dishes to go with the wine. Uncle San and I will have a couple of drinks."

"Shanhe, have you been busy lately? I see you've lost a lot of weight since last time. No matter how busy you are at work, you still have to take good care of your body.

You are the pillar of our family, you can't let your health fail. Jingru, you have to take care of yourself and give Shanhe more nourishment."

After Zhao Shanhe put out his cigarette, he said, "Uncle San, it's not what you said. I haven't exercised for a long time, so my belly is bulging. I just happened to accompany An Feng to lose weight these days."

"Ah, I don't understand the thoughts of you young people. It's good to have some fat on your belly. It makes you look plump. It's a blessing."

"Uncle San, this person is too fat and is prone to three highs, that is, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high blood lipids. It will be troublesome when I get old. If I don't move, I will be useless.

I haven’t been drinking much during this period, except when you came. Otherwise, I wouldn’t drink.”

Uncle San suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. Then you should exercise more. Since you don't want to drink anymore, then don't drink today."

"Uncle San, you still have to drink. To be honest, I feel craving for it after not drinking for a long time."

"Daniu, how did you do in the exam? Uncle has been busy lately and didn't have time to ask.

You guys are the same, except for the New Year and other festivals, you don't come to play with your uncle.

Don't do this anymore. Bring your brothers and sisters over to play more often.

I was close to your grandfather and your brother, but you have become distant with them.”

Daniu touched the back of his head and said, "Uncle, I'm busy in the third year of high school and don't have much time to rest. It's not that I don't want to come. I've been wanting to come and see you for a long time."

"Okay, you've been busy this year. In the past few years, you've been closer to Sijiu City, but you've become more distant from your uncle.

I remember you were not like this when I first went to my hometown. You were very friendly with my uncle at that time.

First, tell me how you did in the college entrance examination. Your father is out there making money for you. If you don’t study hard, I will punish you.”

Uncle San said, "Shanhe, I have to be fair. It's not that the child is estranged from you, it's that you don't dare to come here easily.

There are guards at the door. Even if the child wants to come, he will be scared. The child is always thinking of you.

Not to mention the children, even Shandong and I wouldn’t dare to disturb you easily.”

Zhao Shanhe sighed, "Alas, there is nothing I can do. Third Uncle, you know I have a job, and this is arranged by the state. I can't do anything about it. I was thinking of moving to the courtyard house as soon as possible. It would be more lively if the whole family was together."

"So, Shanhe, don't blame the kid for not coming to visit us, but Daniu said he did pretty well in the exam.

I brought Danniu here today because I want to ask you to help my child find out what to learn. You know a lot, and you also know that his father and I are both rough guys.

So you help me make the decision. To be honest, I feel like I'm dreaming. I never thought that Daniu's father and I, both of whom are rough guys, could get our child into college.

Shanhe, I still have to thank you. It was you who brought our family to Sijiu City, arranged jobs for us, and found schools for us. It was all thanks to you."

"Okay, Third Uncle, don't say that again. You are my real Third Uncle. You can't write two Zhao characters with one stroke. It's my duty as a nephew. I believe that when you become successful, you will definitely help me.

Let's talk about Daniel first. Daniel, how many points do you think you can get in the exam? What schools can you go to? And what are you interested in? Tell me and I'll give you some advice."

"I think other subjects were OK except for math. The main reason is that the math paper was too difficult this year. I asked other students and they also didn't do well.

I estimated that my score could be above 500, and our teacher said that this year, students with a score of 500 can choose any university they want. "

When the big shot said that the math paper was difficult, Zhao Shanhe actually had some impression of it. He talked about the college entrance examination with his colleagues that year. He said that the math paper in 1984 was the most difficult in history. The average score was only 26 points, and very few people achieved high scores.

"Good boy, that's great. Our Zhao family has produced another top student."

Da Niu smiled shyly, and the third uncle also smiled and said, "Shanhe, you don't know that my grandsons are very competitive. They are always among the top students in the class in every exam. Not only Da Niu, but also Er Niu and the others are also very good at it.

The child came from the countryside and knew that it was not easy to have such an opportunity. He studied hard and did not play around when he got home. He just studied with his books.

I often tell them that if anyone doesn’t work hard, they should go back to farming.”

"Okay, you are all good kids, that's what you should do. If you can't bear the hardship of studying, you will have to bear the hardship of life. It's better to work harder when you are young than to regret it when you grow up.

Daniel, do you have any ideas in your mind? Speak up. Since your teacher has said that you can choose any university you want, just speak up if you have any ideas. I will definitely choose the one that suits you. "

"Uncle, I don't know. All I've been thinking about these years is studying hard and getting into a good university. I haven't really thought about the future, and I don't know what I'm interested in."

"Don't you have any ideas? Politics, business, doctor, lawyer, teacher, these are all good options."

"Then I chose to be a teacher, to teach and educate people. I know that our country's education still has a long way to go. Some remote areas don't even have teachers."

Uncle San also nodded and said, "Hello, teacher. Teacher is respected."

"Okay, then I'll be a teacher. As for schools, Beijing Normal University and Nanjing Normal University are both fine. If I want to be close to home, I'll choose Beijing Normal University.

If you want to go abroad, choose Nanjing Normal University. Nanjing Normal University was approved to be renamed Nanjing Normal University at the beginning of this year, and the faculty is also very strong. "

The door opened with a click. It turned out that the children had returned. Today they went to the courtyard to play with their other brothers.

"Hello, Third Grandpa, Hello, Brother Daniu"
