Siheyuan: Five mouths waiting for food at the beginning

On the afternoon of the third day after school started, An Huan came back with Zhao Gang and Dacong.

Two people each carried two bundles of green onions. Zhao Shanhe was reading a newspaper on the sofa. Aunt Guo went over to help with the green onions, and the three of them carried the green onions to the kitchen.

"Dad, this is my classmate Zhao Gang. Guess where he is from?"

"Hello Grandpa, I'm from Zhaojia Village, my name is Zhao Gang, and I'm the son of Zhao Guangde," Zhao Gang greeted directly.

"Oh, please sit down."

Aunt Guo quickly brought a cup of tea.

"Thank you, grandma."

"Wrong, this is Aunt Guo, not my mother." An Huan said hurriedly

"Uncle An Huan, if you call me Auntie, then I should still call you Grandma, that's right."

"That's right."

"Dad, let me tell you, Zhao Gang said that after he and the village chief came to Sijiu City, they came to look for us first, but they couldn't find our house, so the village chief went home. Fortunately, he met me."

Zhao Gang scratched his head and said, "We should have found it, but there was a guard at the door, so we didn't dare to come over. We thought that the address given by Master Yao was wrong."

"That's a shame. Is the village okay now?"

"Okay, Grandpa, now the road has been repaired, the factory has been built, and the villagers have a place to make money. The villagers said that if they see you, they must thank you. All this is brought to the village by you."

As he said that, Zhao Gang stood up, found an empty place, knelt down in front of Zhao Shanhe, and then kowtowed to Zhao Shanhe.

Zhao Shanhe quickly stood up and went over to grab him, "Kid, no, no, get up quickly. I am also a member of Zhaojia Village. I should make some contributions if I have the ability."

"Grandpa, I have to kowtow to you. This is what my grandpa and his friends said. They said they must thank you. We don't have anything good, so we just brought a few bundles of green onions. And they also want me to kowtow to you."

"Hurry up, kid. This is a new society. People will think I'm bureaucratic if they see you like this."

Zhao Shanhe winked at An Huan, and the two of them pulled Zhao Gang up.

After Zhao Shanhe pulled him up, he pushed Zhao Gang back onto the sofa and said, "You are such a sincere kid. I have received the kindness of the villagers."

He shouted to Xiao Guo, "Xiao Guo, prepare the meal. Cook a few more dishes and make more rice."

"Okay, leader."

"Dad, why are you back so early? I thought you guys weren't back yet."

"I came back naturally after class when I had nothing to do." Zhao Shanhe didn't dare to go to the office now. As soon as Old Man Wang saw him, he wanted to discuss those problems. He really didn't want to face Old Man Wang.

"Zhao Gang, right? Are you used to being here?"

"Habit, Grandpa, Uncle An Huan takes good care of me."

"How can he take care of you? He can't even take care of himself. You don't need to say good things about him."

"Dad, can you get me a longer bunk bed? Everything else in school is good except the bed is too short. I feel cramped when I sleep there."

"You are the only one who has too many things to do. The school has made unified arrangements, but you are the only one who gets special treatment."

"Dad, I'm almost two meters tall, and the bed is only two meters. Once the pillow is put down, I can't even stretch my legs. It's really frustrating. I haven't slept well these past two days. Look at the dark circles under my eyes."

Zhao Anhuan said this and pointed at his dark circles.

"Have you reported this to the school?"

"I did respond. The person in charge of logistics said there was nothing they could do. All the beds in the school are custom-made. There are no large beds. I asked if I could get one myself, and they agreed. If you don't believe me, ask Zhao Gang. He went with me."

"Go back and find your uncle Damao. Their construction company has no shortage of materials. Ask him to find someone to build one for you and take it away when it's done."

"How about you, Zhao Gang? Is there anything you need?"

"Grandpa, I don't need anything."

Zhao Shanhe asked about the specific situation in the village again, and Qin Jingru came back.

"This is my mother," Zhao Anhuan introduced to Zhao Gang

"Hello, Grandma"

The word "Grandma" confused Qin Jingru. She thought it was not someone else being called, but it turned out that the person was looking at her and calling her.

Zhao Shanhe explained, "This is a young man from our hometown. He happens to be a classmate of An Huan. Our family has a higher generation in our hometown, so we call you that."

"You too, don't stand, sit down."

After chatting for a while, the meal was finally ready. "Zhao Gang, let's go and eat."

At the dinner table, An Rong and An Feng kept picking up dishes for Zhao Gang, and they had already fallen for Zhao Gang's calls of "Aunt" and "Uncle".

They both never expected that an adult of the same age as their brother would call them aunt and uncle, but since they did, as aunt and uncle, of course they had to take good care of their nephew.

"Zhao Gang, eat more. Being at Grandpa's place is like being at home. Don't be polite. Make sure you eat enough."

After Zhao Gang swallowed his food, he said, "Well, Grandpa, I'm very honest."

Zhao Shanhe's family usually eats noodles in the afternoon, as eating rice can easily cause stomach acid in the evening.

Zhao Shanhe believed that with An Rong and An Feng feeding him, Zhao Gang would definitely be full.

She had already stopped the two of them from taking any food. "Uncle, aunt, that's enough, really enough, I can't eat any more."

Zhao Gang almost ate his meal to his throat. This uncle and aunt were so enthusiastic.

After dinner, Auntie Guo brought some fruit. An Rong handed Zhao Gang an apple and said, "Brother Zhao Gang, have an apple."

"Aunt, you can just call me by my name, or nephew, I really can't eat anymore."

"It's okay, let's talk about our own affairs. You are older than me, so it's only right for me to call you brother."

Zhao Shanhe arranged, "Stay at home tonight, and go back with An Huan after breakfast tomorrow morning."

Soon, several children started watching TV and chatting while watching TV. Zhao Gang had a cheerful personality and the children laughed while chatting.

In the evening, An Huan took Zhao Gang to take a shower and arranged a guest room for him to stay.

The next morning, after breakfast, Zhao Shanhe took out two hundred yuan and gave it to Zhao Gang.

"Grandpa, I can't have it."

"You kid, this is a gift from your grandpa. Take it obediently, or I will be angry."

Zhao Shanhe stuffed the money into Zhao Gang's hand.

An Rong and An Feng also prepared a bag of fruits and various snacks. They also liked this brother from their hometown very much. He was polite. Who could refuse a nephew who called them uncle and aunt?

"Brother Zhao Gang, take it to school to eat. You must come to visit us often."

"Well, okay, I will definitely come to see you when I have time."

"You have to recognize this door today, and come here often in the future."

"I accept it, Grandpa."

"An Huan, drive slowly on the road and be careful."

After An Huan drove away, Zhao Shanhe touched An Feng's head and said, "You are so generous. You took out all your treasured snacks."

"Dad, he calls me uncle, so how can I, as an uncle, be stingy?"

"Pfft, hahahaha" the whole family couldn't help laughing.

Zhao Shanhe turned to Qin Jingru and said, "Remember to remind me to give the green onions to the second and third brothers, as well as Uncle San and the others. I will forget it if I am busy."
