Siheyuan: Five mouths waiting for food at the beginning

"Dad, I'm still in school. How can I go to school after I have a baby?"

Sha Zhu answered directly, "You don't need to go to work after you give birth to a child. Just take good care of An Huan. Does the Zhao family still expect you to support the family?"

He Hua was furious. "Dad, you are discriminating against women. I am married, so can't I have my own job?"

Sha Zhu said nonchalantly, "Go, go, go, then go and sue me. Really, you're even putting a big hat on your father."

Ma Dongmei asked, "An Huan, what do you think?"

"I don't have any ideas. It's fine if He Hua wants to work. If she doesn't want to work, I'll support her. It's fine as long as she likes it."

Sha Zhu continued, "I don't care whether you go to school or not, as long as you let me have a grandchild by next year at the latest."

"Dad, why are you like this? I should have not gotten married if I had known."

"How dare you not get married? Are you going to let your father support you for the rest of your life? I finally got you married off with great difficulty. You should be happy that you found such an outstanding man like An Huan."

Every word Sha Zhu said pierced He Hua's heart. He Hua asked, "Dad, are you so afraid that I won't be able to get married?"

"These days, as long as you're not crippled, you can definitely get married. It's just that it's hard to find someone as outstanding as An Huan."

"Dad, do you really dislike me so much?"

"What do you mean by dislike? You're just saying that your father has treated you badly since you were a child. I just asked you to have a baby sooner, but why are you so stubborn? You're already 22, so when do you want to have a baby? Your father is still waiting to hold his grandchildren."

He Dong tried to smooth things over, "Dad, brother-in-law, and Grandpa Yi, come and have a drink. I'll go get some."

Sha Zhu then said to Xia Chunlan, "Daughter-in-law, how about you quit your job and let your mother take care of you at home, and you can rest assured and take care of your baby at home, what do you think?"

He Dong said, "Dad, it's not that serious, is it? Didn't my mother do everything when she was pregnant with me?"

Xia Chunlan also said, "Dad, it's only been three months, it's okay, let's wait until the month is bigger, and besides, my job is very easy, I'm afraid I can't stay at home."

"I'm just worried about my grandson. Things are different now than they were before. We didn't have the conditions back then. Now life is getting better day by day. We still need to be careful. Girl, you're a medical student. Tell your sister-in-law what to pay attention to."

"There's nothing to be careful about. Just ask my brother to be patient in the first three months and the last three months and make sure to supplement his nutrition. But don't supplement too much, otherwise it will be difficult to have a difficult birth."

Sha Zhu repeated, "Did you hear me, He Dong? Be patient. Don't be so useless. You have to hold it in until my grandson comes out. If you really can't, let your mother sleep with your daughter-in-law, and you can sleep at my place."

"Leave the nutritional supplements to me and your mom. Your mom will go buy the vegetables every morning. I've told Bang Geng to come back earlier so I can cook for you. This is our biggest event this year."

He Dong and Xia Chunlan blushed like monkey butts. Ma Dongmei said, "You two are really something. There are so many people around, and you just say whatever you want."

He Hua said, "Mom, this is how we study medicine. Doctors don't care about gender. This is what they say when you're pregnant. If you don't believe me, ask An Tong. Besides, there are male doctors who give birth now, so there's no need to be so taboo."

An Huan also said, "Mom, that's true. We were embarrassed at first, but we got used to it later. It's true."

"He Dong, how about you do as your father says? I'll sleep with my daughter-in-law and you go live with your father. You young people are full of blood and energy, aren't you?"

Xia Chunlan lowered her head even lower. He Dong hurriedly said, "Mom, why are you like this? Don't worry, I know the severity of the situation and I won't do anything reckless.

And Dad, I grew up under the influence of you and Grandpa, so I have a talent for cooking. You don't have to come every day. I will take good care of Chunlan."

"Speaking of cooking skills, your skills are far from your father's. I have already told Bang Geng, just do as I say. We have moved here too, it is very convenient."

"If others want to eat the food I cook, it depends on my mood. I will take the initiative to cook for you, so you should just be happy."

"Alright, Zhuzi, that's enough. Go cook now, otherwise Chuncao, Zhiqiang and the others will be back soon and they will be hungry."

"It's okay, it will be ready soon. Just wait a moment, the chicken soup is already boiling. Just this bit of effort, the rest will be ready in no time."

Everyone then realized that since He Hua came in, they had been busy chatting and Sha Zhu hadn't even cooked the dishes.

After a while, the fragrance wafted out from the kitchen. The meat in those days was fed slowly, and the fragrance could not be compared with the three-month-old chickens and four-year-old ducks in later generations.

Soon, the family had their meal, and An Huan immediately flattered them, "Father-in-law, your cooking skills are amazing. Every time I eat the food you cook, I want to eat more even if I am full. My Aunt Guo is far inferior to you."

"That's right. I've been learning cooking since I was a child. I became a master when I was a teenager. I've been practicing cooking skills for more than 30 years now. I was born to be a chef."

"Back then, during difficult times, some people couldn't even get enough food to eat, but the cooks never went hungry. I ate whatever the leaders ate, and life was so beautiful back then."

Ma Dongmei said, "How dare you say that? I don't even want to say anything to you. People didn't have enough to eat at that time, and you also cut back on food. Later, you were caught in the act, and you are undermining socialism."

The little ones wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.

Sha Zhu was so thick-skinned that he said nonchalantly, "Isn't it because I offended An Huan's father, Zhao Shanhe? As the saying goes, if the cook doesn't steal, the crops won't be harvested. If it weren't for Shanhe, no one would care about me. Even Li Huaide turned a blind eye."

"Father-in-law, is this true? Did my father bully you?"

"Don't mention it. I don't want to think about it in my life. Don't be fooled by your father's literary appearance. He was very cruel when it came to killing people. And your second uncle Zhao Shanhu was still in the security department at that time. The two of them really tortured me badly,"

"If it weren't for my sister Yu Shui who grew up with your father and interceded for me to get me released, I don't know how much suffering I would have endured. After I was released, I lay in bed at home for a long time."

"Later, I couldn't even be a cook. Your father arranged for me to clean toilets. It wasn't until I gave in to your father that he let me go and arranged for me to be a cook. After that, I worked with your family. But your father is really great. He didn't treat us badly. Everyone who lived with your father lived well."

"It's not just me. If you don't believe me, ask your Grandpa Yi. Your Grandpa Yi was also tortured by your father. It was your father who took away the position of the First Uncle. I even saw the First Uncle secretly delivering wine to your father in the middle of the night."
