Siheyuan: Five mouths waiting for food at the beginning

Ma Dongmei estimated that the chances of her son and Yan Jiecheng's daughter being together were slim. They grew up in the same courtyard, so if they were going to be together, they would have been together a long time ago, just like An Huan and He Hua, if they were interested in each other, they would have been together a long time ago.

He Dong was very annoyed after receiving the call from his mother. He didn't like that girl, but his mother was right. He still had to give the three uncles and aunts face to live in the same yard.

There was no other choice, so He Dong drove towards the courtyard after work. When he reached an uphill road, his car was blocked. There was a car full of junk going uphill in front of him.

He Dong was speechless immediately. It was such a wide road, why did you have to go in the middle? Wouldn't it be better to go from one side and make way? But when he looked at the road next to him, he saw a pothole. So there was nothing wrong with choosing the middle of the road.

The garbage truck had an extremely difficult time moving forward as the slope was too steep. It was moving slowly. The truck in front was blocked by the garbage and could not be seen at all from the back. He Dong was probably an old man or an old woman.

He Dong couldn't stand it anymore, so he quickly pulled the handbrake on his car, got out, and ran behind the garbage truck to help him. With He Dong's help, the garbage truck started to move up.

With one move, the person in front seemed to feel that someone was helping him from behind, and the two of them pulled the car up the slope in an instant. After climbing the slope, the person in front parked the car on the side of the road.

He Dong ran to the front to see whether it was an old man or an old woman, and told him to pull less next time.

He Dong ran to the front and was about to speak when the driver said, "Thank you, comrade."

The cart driver wiped the sweat off his forehead with his arm. He Dong was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, "This is love at first sight. Mom, you are going to have a daughter-in-law. God really has the best arrangement."

It turned out that the person pulling the cart was a beautiful girl, especially after sweating, she looked as bright as a lotus flower emerging from water. He Dong was fascinated by this girl at first sight.

"Comrade, comrade, are you all right?"

He Dong then reacted, "It's okay, it's okay, my name is He Dong, and I'm not married yet," He Dong said subconsciously.

"Hello, Comrade He Dong, thank you. I'm in a hurry to sell the garbage, so I'll leave first." The girl pulled the cart, put on the rope, and prepared to leave.

"Don't go yet, can you tell me your name?" He Dong asked hurriedly

The girl immediately became alert and asked, "What do you want to do by asking me my name?"

"It's okay, it's okay, don't misunderstand me, I'm just asking casually."

Seeing that He Dong didn't seem like a bad person and had helped her push the cart, the girl pulled the cart away with difficulty, but still remained vigilant.

Seeing that the girl no longer paid attention to him, He Dong returned to the car dejectedly and watched the girl slowly walk away.

"Yes, I can follow her and slowly ask around. It would be great if she's not married."

He Dong was driving at a safe distance, and the girl was blocked by the garbage and didn't know there was a car following her.

Soon the car pulled up to a scrap collection station. He Dong watched the girl weighing herself with the station staff from a distance in the car.

About twenty minutes later, the truckload of garbage was finally weighed. He Dong quickly drove the car to the front and stopped. The girl would definitely return the same way she came, so the two of them would not easily run into each other.

Watching the girl leave, He Dong backed the car and came to the scrap collection station.

"Boss, it's time to get off work today. See if you need anything and come back tomorrow." The person at the scrap collection station said to He Dong

He Dong took out a pack of cigarettes and handed it to the scrap collector, "I'm not buying anything. I want to ask you about the girl just now."

The staff member pushed the cigarette back and looked at him warily. He Dong slapped the cigarette into the staff member's hand again.

"Please take it. I really mean no harm. I'm from the Department of Automobile Industry. Here's my ID. I just want to ask if the girl is married?"

The staff member took a look at the ID and confirmed that the person in front of him had no ill intentions. Then he lit a cigarette and said happily, "Why, young man, which girl do you like?"

He Dong nodded shyly.

"Young man, since you drive a car and have a job, you shouldn't have trouble finding a partner. I advise you to think it over carefully."

"what happened?"

"If you ask anyone nearby, you will know that the girl's father was shot a few years ago, and then her mother died of illness. Now she is raising a younger brother and a younger sister, although she is not married yet.

But she said that she doesn't need a dowry to marry her, and she must support her brothers and sisters. Although the girl is pretty, she has a big mouth. Who would dare to marry her? "

"It's good that she's not married. Do you know her name? Where does she live?"

"How could I not know? Her name is Xia Chunlan. She collects a truckload of garbage and sells it to me every week. She lives in the alley in front. Just ask anyone and they will know. Young man, I advise you to think it over carefully. This woman has a family to support. Otherwise, she would have been married long ago just because she is beautiful."

"Thank you. I'll be leaving now."

He Dong walked back to the car excitedly. It would be easy if he knew the name and address. However, as the staff member said, marrying a woman means bringing along younger brothers and sisters, which is a problem.

I also know why this girl can't get married. Those with similar conditions in the alley can't afford to support her, and the rich ones pay attention to matching the family background and will not marry such a woman.

I don't know whether my parents would agree. My mom should agree. My mom's grandparents died early, and she had to raise her two uncles. She didn't marry his father until she was 28 years old, introduced by her aunt. My mom should understand this well.

He Dong looked at his watch and found that he had wasted a lot of time, so he hurried home. On the way, he received a call from Ma Dongmei, who asked him why he had not returned yet.

He Dong made up an excuse and said he would be home soon.

When He Dong came back, his third uncle and aunt, their granddaughter and Yi Zhonghai were all waiting for him at his house.

Yan Jiecheng's daughter is named Yan Lili, which is a name taken from Yu Li. She looks like Yu Li and is quite pretty.

"Hello, Grandpa One, Grandpa Three, Grandma Three and Lili."

"Well, you're finally back. I thought you were not coming back," said the third uncle.

Yan Lili said shyly, "Brother He Dong"

Sha Zhu hadn't gotten off work yet, so Ma Dongmei cooked a few dishes and said, "Sit down and eat."

During the meal, the three uncles and aunts were all praising the two for how well-matched they were and how good they were. Yan Lili kept her head down shyly, stealing a glance at He Dong from time to time. He Dong ate his meal sporadically, thinking in his heart how to tell his parents about that girl.

After dinner, the third uncle asked He Dong to take his granddaughter out for a walk. Seeing that it was getting dark, He Dong took Yan Lili to pick up Sha Zhu. Along the way, Yan Lili asked a lot of questions, and He Dong just answered them casually.
