Siheyuan: Five mouths waiting for food at the beginning

That evening, the district chief and the police chief called the court. The court worked overtime the next day and the verdict was handed down.

Liu Cuilan was the main culprit and destroyed the door lock, so she was sentenced to the maximum term of five years for occupying a house. Yan Jiefang was sentenced to two years and fined two thousand yuan.

The two children were criticized and educated, and then taken back by the third uncle.

Yan Jiefang hated Liu Cuilan so much. If Liu Cuilan hadn't instigated him, he would not have dared to occupy Zhao Shanhe's house. Now he would have to spend the New Year in jail.

Two years later, he didn't know if he could find a job. He regretted that he shouldn't have listened to his wife and should have bought a house, even if it was the Jia family's house.

As a result, problems arose when it came time to pay the fine. Originally, Yan Jiefang's savings over the years were enough to pay the fine, but Liu Cuilan was unable to take it out, so most of the money went to her parents' home.

In the end, Yan Jiefang wrote an IOU to the third uncle, and the third uncle paid it.

On New Year’s Eve, the whole family gathered in the courtyard, and my second uncle and third uncle’s families also came.

Even my second uncle's son Zhao Shanwen came back with his wife and children.

There were five people from my second uncle's family, and the largest number came from my third uncle's family. The old couple and their three sons all came with their families.

In addition to the three brothers Zhao Shanhe and Daya's family, Daya has no one else in her husband's family, and Gao Peng only has a younger sister who will not return home until the second day of the New Year, so Daya also celebrates the New Year here.

Last year, Zhao Shanhe and his family went to Guangzhou, and this year is the year with the most people together.

Zhao Shanhe suggested that everyone take a family photo together at noon while the weather was good.

The second uncle, second aunt, third uncle and third aunt were sitting, Zhao Shanhe and his generation stood at the back, the younger ones squatted in the front, and the older ones stood at the side. A family photo was taken.

After taking the photos, everyone started to busy themselves with preparing the New Year's Eve dinner. We originally planned to go to a restaurant, but everyone disagreed, saying that only by cooking at home could we have the festive atmosphere.

You definitely can’t eat at night because there are too many people and it’s hard to go home at night. You can eat in the afternoon and then go back home to keep watch at night.

The second uncle, the third uncle, the three brothers Zhao Shanhe, the three brothers Zhao Shandong, Shan Wen and Gao Peng, ten people sat at the same table. They all had to drink.

"Uncle, you usually wear your military uniform all the time, why aren't you wearing it today? Are you retiring?"

"Alas," "I retired last month. I left the army suddenly. I'm not used to anything."

"For those of you who have been in the army, the habits you have developed over decades are not easy to change. I guess you will need some time to adapt."

"Uncle, have you thought about it? How are you going to spend your retirement life?"

"Your second aunt said that after the New Year, she would take Shanwen back to her hometown to pay respect to the old lady, and then go to take care of the grandchildren for her sons and enjoy the happiness of family life."

"Second Aunt, this is a good idea. If you take care of your grandson every day, you will have something to do."

"Shanwen, I remember that you two, Shanwu, weren't they in the same place? Why didn't he come back?"

"I'm on annual leave and he didn't get a chance, so he stayed."

"Is Yamatake married?"

The second uncle said, "No, if Shanwu gets married, he will definitely inform you.

You said Shanwu is younger than Shanhai. Shanhai's child is already in elementary school, but this bastard is still not married.

This time, I, his father, will go over and make sure he gets married, or I’ll break his legs.”

"Okay, I support your second uncle. Let's go and beat him directly. Shanwu is really not a decent person. Look, my son is already married, but he, as an uncle, is not in a hurry.

Don’t wait until my grandchildren are born and he becomes a grandfather before getting married.”

Shan Wen said, "Brother, if Shan Wu knew that it was you who instigated my father, he would hate you to death."

"Haha, hate him as much as you want, as long as he can marry his wife, he's the only one left in our generation, and look at us, who doesn't have a few children?"

"Second brother, if you want to go back to your hometown, when you go back, call me and I will go back with you." Uncle San asked

"Okay, let's go back together then. It's a good opportunity to see how the things Shanhe Shanhu promised to do when the old lady passed away last time are going."

Uncle San said, "The school and the ancestral hall have been repaired a long time ago. They were built according to the highest standards as Shanhe said. Even the playground has been paved with cement.

There is also a stage in the ancestral hall. The village chief said that he would invite a troupe to perform during the New Year, so we can watch the opera for a few days when we go back.

The road from the village to the national highway has also been repaired, and the asphalt road is really well built."

"Instead of sending a delegation to investigate, are you going to set up enterprises for the village? How are the enterprises in the village going?"

"Shannan, you are responsible for this matter. Please tell your second uncle about it."

"Uncle, the village first built a logistics transfer station and started the seafood business.

The processing plant is still under preparation, and construction will probably start after we return home for the Chinese New Year.”

"Well, you two brothers have done a good thing for the village."

"By the way, Shanhe, the village chief opened the family tree of your lineage and wrote a page about the contributions you and Shanhu made."

"Big brother, second brother, you guys are awesome."

Shan Hu said with a smile, "I just benefited from Big Brother's help. He came up with the idea and paid for it. I just benefited from it."

The ten people at the table were bragging and drinking more than ten bottles of wine in the afternoon. Shanwen and Shanhai, who were not good at drinking, died early.

The main force is still the second uncle, Zhao Shanhe and the third uncle's family. The third uncle's family can really drink. Zhao Shanhe and his three brothers, the second uncle's father and son, and his brother-in-law Gao Peng, six against four, have never drunk.

Before dark, the New Year's Eve dinner ended, and Zhang Baixue, Huang Duoduo and Daya drove their people back home.

Zhao Shanhe had originally planned to watch the Spring Festival Gala, as the previous Spring Festival Galas were quite good. However, he ended up getting drunk and passed out, and fell asleep as soon as he came back.

When Zhao Shanhe woke up again, it was already midnight and the Spring Festival Gala had ended long ago. Zhao Shanhe felt a little regretful that he missed this only once a year.

Zhao Shanhe decided that in the future when he drank with his third uncle's family, he would just have a taste. He would basically not get drunk with others, but he would definitely get drunk with his third uncle.

New Year’s Eve passed without even staying up all night, and in the blink of an eye it was New Year’s Day.

Zhao Shanhe and Qin Jingru played mahjong with An Tong and his wife. As a native of Sichuan in his previous life, mahjong was ingrained in him. An Huan, An Rong and An Feng gathered together to play mahjong.

He didn't visit anyone on the first day of the new year. Now there are not many people he can visit. Those who have a vested interest in him have already been entertained with meals in advance.

On the second day of the Chinese New Year, Zhao Shanhe took his whole family to his father-in-law's house. This was the first time he visited his father-in-law in the whole year.

Whenever Zhao Shanhe comes to his father-in-law's house, he is definitely the center of attention. His father-in-law's family all revolve around Zhao Shanhe, including his father-in-law.

After getting drunk on the second day of the New Year, I played mahjong all day on the third day, and the New Year was over.
