Siheyuan: Five mouths waiting for food at the beginning

"It's true that what Lao He did was not right, but there are no bad parents in this world. After all, he is old, so he should still look for his son." The old man advised earnestly.

"Uncle, if you say that, we can't continue the conversation. I'm not the stupid pillar I used to be. Is it me who won't provide for him in his old age?"

"Okay, if you don't want to hear it, I won't say it."

Yi Zhonghai knew that times had changed and it was no longer the time for him to be so powerful. Sha Zhu was now richer than him and owned several houses. His little property was nothing to Sha Zhu. He was still counting on Sha Zhu to support him in his old age, so he could not offend Sha Zhu.

"By the way, uncle, Shanhe has prepared a car. When the car arrives in two days, I will take you around. You have never ridden in a car before, right?"

"I've ridden in it once, decades ago when Director Lou was in charge. Congratulations, Zhuzi, you've finally driven a car."

Sha Zhu shamelessly said, "Hehe, this is all because of my daughter's good birth. I, Sha Zhu, must have done good things in my previous life, and now my children are here to repay me. My son is doing well, and my daughter is marrying well."

Yi Zhonghai nodded and followed Sha Zhu's words and said, "Yes, He Dong has been a good student since he was young. Now he has been admitted to university and will definitely have a bright future. He Hua is also good. Zhuzi, you have found a good wife. If you had married Qin Huairu back then, you might not be where you are today."

"Well, it's all thanks to the rain, otherwise I wouldn't even be able to find a wife. But the Jia family is doing well now, Banggeng is still my leader, and that kid has a promising future. Do you regret not recognizing Banggeng as your godson?"

"It's all in the past. There's nothing to regret. No one could have imagined that Bang Geng would be so successful."

"Okay, uncle, I'm not going to chat with you anymore. I'm going to walk around the front yard."

Sha Zhu showed off in front of the third uncle and aunt again, which made the third uncle very envious. He kept asking him to use his skills when he was on the phone.

Sha Zhu patted his chest to indicate that it was no problem, as they were all neighbors and it was just a phone call.

After Sha Zhu left, the third aunt almost cried, "Old man, you said that everyone in the courtyard is living well now, why are we the only ones living in such a mess?"

"I'm so old, my son is in prison, and now I have to help raise my grandchildren. Families have moved out to live in apartment buildings. They've become prosperous, but we're the only ones who are not living as we wish."

"Alas, the He family, the Xu family, and the Jia family all benefited from the Zhao family. We sons also benefited from it. But it's their own fault.

Especially the second son, who wanted to get a bargain and married Liu Cuilan. He offended Shanhe for the house. Otherwise, he would not be a good manager. Even the archives department is not bad, and it is leisurely. Alas."

It was not until Ma Dongmei finished preparing breakfast and called Sha Zhu to go home that Sha Zhu reluctantly went home to eat. It felt so good to be envied by others.

After dinner, Sha Zhu didn't take off the suit and was ready to go to work in the Zhongshan suit, but Ma Dongmei stopped him, "You said you wore it so well to work, what if it got dirty on the engagement day? And you don't feel hot, take it off quickly."

Sha Zhu rode his bicycle to the hotel, took out his cell phone and showed off, making everyone envious.

Some people said congratulations but cursed Sha Zhu behind his back, saying that he got it by selling his daughter. It was known that Sha Zhu had a car again in two days.

Those who have daughters would like to sell them, and those who don’t have daughters would like to have several.

After Shazhu finished his lunch break, he went to find Banggeng in the afternoon. When Banggeng learned that Shazhu was going to have a car, he arranged for a driver to teach Shazhu how to drive. Banggeng was reluctant to refuse at first.

Who knew that Shazhu was also smart. He knew that Banggeng didn't like him very much, so he used Zhao Shanhe's name and said that Zhao Shanhe asked him to come over, so Banggeng had no choice but to accept it.

After two days of driving lessons, Sha Zhu barely knew how to operate the accelerator and shift gears, but he was still far from being able to drive on the road.

Soon, it was the day of the engagement, and Zhao Shanhe's family came. Zhao Shanhe's third uncle also showed up, but his second uncle went to his son's place and did not notify him.

An Huan's grandparents and uncle also came. The younger uncle was with Xu Damao, and the older uncle was in Yangcheng looking after the garment factory and couldn't come over.

There was no elaborate ceremony for the engagement, just the two families sitting together and having a meal.

Zhao Shanhe personally handed the car keys to Sha Zhu, including the car documents and Sha Zhu's driver's license. The car was just an ordinary car, but not everyone could afford it these days.

Zhao Shanhe didn't wear a Zhongshan suit today. He felt too hot, so he just wore a white shirt.

After giving the key to Sha Zhu, Zhao Shanhe sat down with He Yushui and chatted with them. The two grew up together but had not seen each other in all these years.

We didn't talk much the last time we met because He Daqing was the reason why He Yushui was drinking all the time. Today it's a good opportunity for us to sit together and chat.

"It seems like he's had a good time these years. He's gained a lot of weight now. I'm afraid a gust of wind won't blow him away."

"Brother Shanhe, do you still remember? Your life is pretty good now. It's not that you naturally gained weight after having a child. You're 40 now, a middle-aged woman, and it's normal for you to gain weight."

"But Brother Shanhe, you are still the best. I heard from my brother that you are now a university professor and your company is doing so well. My brother has benefited a lot from you."

"How is it going? Is your work going well? If not, how about coming to my company?"

"Thank you, Brother Shanhe. I'm afraid I can't help you with anything, so I won't cause you any more trouble. I think everything is fine now. I don't ask for great wealth, as long as my family lives well."

"Okay, if you need me in the future, just come find me. If I need you, you are not allowed to refuse me."

"I'm afraid I can't help you, Brother Shanhe, but if you need me, I will definitely not refuse you."

"Time flies. I still remember that you were just a little girl, always calling me Shanhe brother. Now your children have grown up."

"Time really does pass quickly. Brother Shanhe, your son is already married, and you didn't even tell me."

"It's all my fault. I will definitely tell you when An Huan gets married."

"Haha, Brother Shanhe, even if you didn't tell me, I would have come. He Hua is my niece."

"Haha, that's right, it's really worth it. If I invite you again, you will have to give me two gifts."

"Sometimes I suddenly think of the past. I still remember the time when your brother invited me to dinner. When I heard Qin Huairu knocking on the door, you were so impatient and your mouth was full like a hamster. I will remember it for the rest of my life."

"Shanhe, why do you keep remembering these embarrassing things? We didn't have enough food at that time. My brother finally made something delicious, but the sister-in-law of the Jia family always came to ask for it. I was afraid."

"It's true that you had a hard time back then. You were as hungry as a bean sprout. Your brother didn't care about you at all. He only focused on Qin Huairu."
