Siheyuan: Five mouths waiting for food at the beginning

"Father-in-law, I'm waiting for you. I have something to discuss with you."

"Okay, then wait for me to park the bike, and then we can go inside and talk."

After they entered the house, An Huan lit a cigarette for Sha Zhu and said, "Father-in-law, this is what happened."

An Huan blabbered and explained everything to Sha Zhu again.

Then the three of them looked at Sha Zhu anxiously, "Why are you all looking at me? Isn't the household registration booklet at home? If they want to get the certificate, they can just give them the household registration booklet."

"Father-in-law, do you agree?"

"Shouldn't I agree? You've been engaged for several years and you're both old enough, why should I disagree? It's just a wedding, right? Didn't Shanhe say we'll have it in the winter?"

"Father-in-law, thank you. I will definitely treat He Hua well."

An Huan left happily, Sha Zhu was soaking his feet, Ma Dongmei wanted to ask something but didn't open her mouth until they both got on the kang.

Ma Dongmei then said, "I thought you disagreed?"

Sha Zhu was still confused, "No, why shouldn't I agree?"

"You want to save face, so you got the certificate without saying anything. We thought you were unwilling."

"How could I not agree? I really want to. If we don't get married today, I'll be worried. What if An Huan changes his mind one day? Then my daughter will be in trouble. Where can I find such a good son-in-law?"

"I'm hoping they get the marriage certificate, and it would be even better if they get pregnant. By then, it's already a done deal, and there's no way they can return the marriage. Do you think I'm stupid? A wedding is nothing compared to this."

"No, you don't trust our daughter at all?"

"It's not that I don't believe it, but for my daughter, marrying into a good family like the Zhao family is a blessing. I'm just afraid that it will be a loss. Of course, the sooner she marries, the better. After getting the marriage certificate, she will be a member of the Zhao family, and I will feel relieved."

"It's better to have a child soon. Then I'll have a grandson and a grandson-in-law, and they'll surpass Xu Damao in one go."

"You, you, let me say something, I don't even know how to describe you."

"Hey, your man is smart, right? Just tell me, is An Huan more than a good match for our daughter? If An Huan were my son, and I had Zhao Shanhe's wealth, I would definitely not marry a cook's daughter. I would definitely find a better one for my son."

"Don't let your daughter hear you. She might get mad at you. Is there any father like you?"

"So what? My daughter is already 22. If she doesn't get married, what will happen if An Huan changes his mind? Where can I find such a good son-in-law?"

"Please hurry up on this matter. The closer you get to it, the more likely it is that something unexpected will happen. It's better to get the certificate as soon as possible to avoid any more trouble."

"Let's not talk about my daughter. It's been four months since our son got married, but why is my daughter-in-law still pregnant? When can I hold my grandson and be proud in front of Xu Damao?"

"It's always Xu Damao, Xu Damao. Why don't you go and live with Xu Damao?"

"You know that I have been fighting with Xu Damao's grandson for my whole life. Now he has a grandson before me. You don't know how proud he is in front of me. I can tolerate this. Don't stay at home all day. When you have time, go visit your son and daughter-in-law. Don't you want to hug your grandson?"

"I see. I'll go and see him tomorrow afternoon. I also want to have a grandchild."

When An Huan came back, Zhao Shanhe had already fallen asleep, but was woken up by the boy knocking on the door.

Qin Jingru opened the door, and An Huan came in and said excitedly, "Dad, my father-in-law agreed, I can get the marriage certificate right away."

"You woke me up just to talk about something?"

"Dad, this is a very important event in my life, right? You are my dad, and I told you and my mom as soon as I got back. Besides, who knew you would go to bed so early?"

"Early ass! Don't you see what time it is now? Can't you tell me tomorrow morning? Can't you even endure one night?"

An Huan glanced at his watch and saw that it was already past eleven o'clock. It was indeed late. Sha Zhu would have returned home at ten o'clock. He chatted with Sha Zhu for a while and wasted some time on the way back, so it was already past eleven o'clock.

"Dad, I've woken you up. Why don't you give me the household registration booklet so I don't have to disturb your sleep again."

"The household registration booklet is not with me. Go ask your eldest brother for it tomorrow. He has not brought it back to Dingye because he registered his household registration. It is already very late. You'd better not go to your eldest brother. If you wake up my grandson, I will punish you."

"Okay, I got it. I promise not to wake up your eldest grandson. I'm going to wash up. Dad, go to sleep quickly. I won't disturb you anymore."

After An Huan left, Zhao Shanhe lit a cigarette irritably, "I don't know who this kid is after. He is so anxious to do things, and he can't put anything on his mind."

"If it doesn't look like you, then it must look like me. Who else could it look like?" Qin Jingru said unsatisfiedly.

"Among the four children, only the fourth one is a bit like me. The eldest one is steady but not tactful enough. An Huan is always impatient. My daughter is careless and sloppy. An Feng is smart and tactful, like me, but he is timid. None of them is worry-free."

"What's wrong? Do you regret marrying me?"

Zhao Shanhe put his arm around Qin Jingru and said, "How could that be? The thing I regret least in my life is marrying you. If there is a next life, I will marry you again. I'm telling the truth."

Zhao Shanhe really thought so in his heart. In his previous life, he married a wife and served her in every way, but in the end, her heart belonged to someone else, her property was transferred to someone else, and finally, even her child belonged to someone else.

After I married Qin Jingru in this life, all her thoughts were on me. In this life, I had everything I needed, and she served me comfortably and was obedient.

Qin Jingru leaned her head on Zhao Shanhe's shoulder and said, "Brother, if there is a next life, I will still marry you."

"By the way, An Huan is going to get the marriage certificate? How come I didn't know?"

"Isn't that boy old enough? He's been pestering me all day today. I thought we should just get things done, so I asked him to wait. He didn't wait even a day, and I couldn't stand it anymore, so I asked him to get the certificate first and then hold the wedding banquet."

"How could that fool be willing? Who wouldn't want to marry off their daughter in a grand manner?"

"Isn't this guy here to announce the good news? I don't know how he convinced Shazhu. I think he's horny. He couldn't bear it anymore after four years and is thinking about the land of pleasure."

"Brother, we haven't had that for a long time. How about tonight? I want it."

"Go and see if the door is locked. An Huan didn't lock the door when he went out just now." Zhao Shanhe put out his cigarette and sighed inwardly, it's really the frustration of middle-aged people.

After Qin Jingru locked the door, Zhao Shanhe took over. He was supposed to take a day off today, but ended up working overtime again.
