Siheyuan: Five mouths waiting for food at the beginning

After An Huan finished packing, he lay down on the bed in the dormitory. He felt very uncomfortable. He was almost two meters tall and it was a bit difficult for him to stretch out. The bed was only two meters long. He turned around and asked if he could bring a bed over.

I miss the big bed at home so much. The bed at home is a 2.5-meter bed made by my grandfather.

After turning off the lights, An Huan tossed and turned but couldn't fall asleep. He was not used to living in this dormitory. Usually he could fall asleep as soon as he lay down, but today he couldn't fall asleep.

Of course, he was not the only one who suffered from insomnia. Everyone else in the dormitory couldn't sleep either. It was impossible to fall asleep so quickly in a new environment.

The two young men in the dormitory who had not eaten got up one after another and gulped down several rounds of water. They were all teenagers and at the age when they could eat. If they didn't eat, they would probably be too hungry at night.

I tossed and turned, unable to sleep. The guy on the upper bunk said, "Student Zhao, you can't sleep either?"

"I'm sorry, Wang, I'm disturbing you. This is my first time living on campus and I'm not used to it. Plus, this bed is a little small and it's not comfortable to sleep on."

"It's okay. I couldn't sleep either. I guess everyone else wasn't asleep either. I'm a little uncomfortable with this new environment."

The person sleeping on the upper bunk of An Huan was the young man from the old city.

"Yeah, I didn't fall asleep either."

"You must be hungry. You've already drunk a lot of water."

"I'm really hungry. There's nothing I can do. Although the school provides subsidies, I still have to spend them sparingly."

"I left home early today and didn't bring much food with me. I'll treat you to a big meal at noon tomorrow. You can eat as much as you want."

"Student Zhao, this is not good. Although your family is rich, it is too expensive."

"It's okay. I have a restaurant at home too. You can eat there for free. Don't worry when the time comes. There are only a few of you. Even if you eat there every day, you won't make me broke."

A few young men started chatting and talking about everything, and they didn't stop until the late night before they felt sleepy.

The remaining two people came early in the morning and woke up the rest. I have to say that An Huan was very good at falling asleep as soon as he lay down. Although he didn't fall asleep as soon as he lay down last night, not being woken up in the morning was also a skill.

Everyone spoke in a low voice so as not to wake An Huan up. He was the god of wealth of the dormitory. Whether the dormitory would be good or not in the future depended entirely on this god of wealth.

An Huan didn't even open his eyes until the phone rang. He subconsciously put the phone to his ear and said, "Hello."

"Who said I didn't get up? I got up a long time ago," An Huan said, then opened his eyes and sat up.

"You're not going to eat with me? Go shopping with your roommates, okay? Then you should be careful."

An Huan hung up the phone, rubbed his eyes, and looked at everyone who was either reading or looking at him. They all got up, including two new people.

"Is everyone up?" Zhao Anhuan looked at the watch and saw that it was already eleven o'clock. This was the first time he got up so late.

"Student Zhao, you have such a good sleep quality. I didn't wake you up despite the loud noise in the morning."

"Morning, what's up?"

"It's okay, there are just two more students coming, so our dormitory is now fully populated."

The two men introduced themselves to Zhao Anhuan again. Both young men were very generous. They were both from Shandong and were classmates. Coincidentally, one of them had the last name Zhao.

"That's quite a coincidence. My hometown is also in Shandong. My father told me that it was from Zhaojia Village in a certain city in Shandong. Later, my grandfather served as a soldier and came to Sijiucheng. Later, he settled down here."

"What a coincidence! I am from Zhaojia Village."

"Really? Is there a factory built near your place now?"

"Yes, Lord Shanhe and Lord Shanhu came here to invest last year and renovated our village's school and ancestral hall. The village chief brought us here yesterday. We wanted to pay them a visit, but after wandering around for a whole day, we couldn't find the place."

"This is such a coincidence, it's such a coincidence. The Shanhe uncle you mentioned is my father, and Shanhu uncle is my uncle. I heard from my father that my name in the family tree is Zhao Guang or something. I was still young at that time and I forgot it. Anyway, in my hometown, my generation name is Guang."

"If you're serious, then I have to call you uncle. If I had known, I would have stopped running around with the village chief yesterday. Unfortunately, the village chief has already gone home."

Zhao Gang brought over several bundles of green onions. "These are the green onions produced this year. They are for Grandpa Shanhe's family, Grandpa Shanhu's family, and Grandpa Yao's family. Uncle, I'll give them to you."

The young man surnamed Zhao is called Zhao Gang. Looking at the scallions, Zhao Anhuan was reminded of scallion pancakes. Maybe he has the gene to eat this in his bones.

"Okay, I'll take it. I'll send it to my third grandfather and second uncle later. You can come home with me later."

"I won't go. Just deliver the things."

"I have to go, otherwise my dad will scold me."

After An Huan got dressed, he quickly went to wash up and said to everyone, "Let's go. As agreed last night, I'll treat you all today. Let's have a good meal."

As a result, several people who had listened to An Huan’s speech last night were ready to go, but the two who had just arrived decided not to go.

An Huan persuaded them a few more times before the two agreed to follow.

"We'll be there soon. It's peak season. I'll call my father-in-law and ask him to reserve a table for us so we can eat there."

An Huan first called Sha Zhu and told him to bring his classmates over. Sha Zhu said he would take care of it.

"Let's go"

When they got downstairs, Zhao Shanhe took out ten yuan and handed it to Wang, a local student. "My car can't accommodate so many people. You are familiar with Sijiucheng. Bring two people to take a taxi. We will meet at Sihai Hotel on such and such road."

Two classmates went there with classmate Wang in a taxi. Now there are yellow vans serving the "two foreign" people, commonly known as "mian di".

The rest of the people followed Zhao Anhuan and got into his car. "Uncle, you have your own car? That's amazing." Zhao Gang said

"What's so great about it? My dad bought it for me. How could I be that capable?"

Zhao Anhuan drove slowly on the road, telling a few people about the places they passed by. When they arrived at the restaurant, classmate Wang was already waiting with the two of them.

Student Wang said to An Huan, "This is too expensive. It costs ten yuan a time. I will never take this next time I go out."

"Haha, it's okay to do it once in a while. They basically hire foreigners because they have money."

"Let's go, let's eat first"

"Welcome," the waiter opened the door considerately and welcomed the guest in with a smile. Everyone knew An Huan, Sha Zhu's son-in-law, who had been praised by Sha Zhu in recent days.

As soon as An Huan and his men arrived, the waiter led them to the private room and said, "Please follow me, guests. Master Zhao has already made arrangements."

Several people behind An Huan followed him with their heads down, sometimes unable to resist secretly taking a few glances out of curiosity.

When they arrived at the box, An Huan asked a few people to sit down. Everyone was a little uneasy. It was their first time in such a luxurious place, and everyone was a little nervous.

"You can order whatever you want."

"Sir, I'm sorry, Master Zhao has already arranged everything. He said he will cook for you personally and make sure you are satisfied."
