Siheyuan: Five mouths waiting for food at the beginning

Time flies by quickly, and it slips away from your hands inadvertently.

It's weekend in a blink of an eye

Today is also the day when Sha Zhu is getting married and inviting everyone to dinner. The Zhao family didn't go and gave 50 cents. Sha Zhu got married and the wedding banquet was briefly mentioned, and the old Zhao family's affairs were mentioned.

The furniture was delivered two days ago, and the logistics director was there all at once. Thirty-six new legs were added, and the old furniture was placed in the Shanhai room.

The supplies were very sufficient. Aunt Chen started preparing early in the morning at the department store. Chicken, duck, fish, meat, melon seeds, peanuts, candies, and pastries were all available. She just waited for people to arrive and started cooking.

Zhao Shanhe did not return to the backyard after breakfast in the morning. He brought the radio with him and placed two bicycles at the door. He had to do some face-saving work. His younger brothers and sisters also cleaned the house very cleanly. As long as the girl is suitable, he will try to get her in one go.

At about eleven o'clock in the morning, Aunt Chen came with the girl. She had bright white teeth and a slender figure. She was even prettier than the Qin sisters. She was what people in later generations called a woman with fair skin, beautiful looks and long legs.

The girl didn't expect the man's whole family to be there, but she behaved very calmly.

"Hello, my name is Zhang Baixue, I am 19 years old this year. Because I was born in winter and it snowed, my father named me Baixue," Zhang Baixue introduced.

"Hello, my name is Zhao Shanhe, and I'm the elder brother of your blind date," Zhao Shanhe said.

Then the whole family introduced themselves to the girl.

At this moment, Zhao Shanhu was like a quail, sitting quietly aside with a slightly red face. Zhao Shanhe didn't expect that his brother was such a taciturn person, he was usually very talkative. This should be the old saying that when it comes to women, you can't even say a word even if you beat them three times.

Zhao Shanhe is actually in the same situation. He is also the kind of person who can do nothing even if you hit him with three sticks. Now he can only bite the bullet and fight back.

Zhao Shanhe gave Zhao Shanhu a wink, and Zhao Shanhu nodded. This was the secret code agreed upon by the two of them: if he nodded in satisfaction, they would continue; if he shook his head in dissatisfaction, they would start eating right away.

She seemed very satisfied. To be honest, Zhao Shanhe even felt moved. Zhang Baixue was indeed beautiful and met his aesthetic standards.

There were only four people in the room at this time, the three brothers and Zhang Baixue, and the women had all gone to cook.

Zhao Shanhu and Zhao Shanhai stared at their eldest brother Zhao Shanhe, motioning him to speak. At this time, Zhao Shanhe just wanted to say who was the blind date.

"Shanhu, speak up. Today is your blind date. Have a good chat with Comrade Bai Xue. I'll go see if the meal is ready." Zhao Shanhe really didn't know what to say. He gritted his teeth and his scalp was numb. He still couldn't think of anything to do, so he could only sell his brother out.

"Brother, I'll go with you." Zhao Shanhai also ran out.

I didn't have this feeling when I was on a blind date with Qin Jingru. The main thing is that I have topics to talk about with Qin Jingru, and I can just talk about money with her. Qin Jingru is the type of person who can be dealt with by paying money.

Judging from the way Zhang Baixue was dressed, she should be very favored at home and her conversation was graceful. Zhao Shanhe was worried that his family and the girl's family were not a good match. His family was just a commoner family, so Zhao Shanhe hoped that the girl was not from a wealthy family.

The two thousand years of Chinese cultural history tells us that there will be no good results if the two families are not well matched.

Zhao Shanhe smoked a cigarette at the door and went to Aunt Chen's room to see how the meal was going.

When the meal was served, all the topics started to open up. The Zhao family did not have the rule of not talking while eating or sleeping, so Zhao Shanhe felt it was easy to talk about things while eating.

Zhao Shanhe decided to take the initiative and inquire about the girl's background, especially whether her family was a high-ranking official or a scholarly family, as these two types were the most difficult to deal with.

After learning more about the situation, Zhao Shanhe felt relieved as he found out that the girl's family was similar to theirs.

Zhang Baixue's father is the manager of a department store, and her job was arranged by her father. Her mother is unemployed and is a housewife. She also has two younger brothers who are studying, one in high school and the other in junior high school.

After dinner, according to the prior arrangement, Zhao Shanhu took the girl to the park, watched a movie, had dinner in a restaurant, and then sent the girl back.

Zhao Shanhe spent the whole afternoon in nervousness. He didn't know why, but he felt that his brother's blind date was more nervous than his own. He smoked cigarette butts all over the floor and was eager to know the result.

After dinner, everyone listened to the radio together, waiting for Zhao Shanhu's triumphant return.

Finally, Zhao Shanhu came back, and Zhao Shanhe's family started a three-court trial. They asked a lot of questions, such as how he treated the girl, what he said, and what impression the girl had of him.

Zhao Shanhu said that he basically said nothing, and he completed it according to Zhao Shanhe's idea, and sent the girl back home. Zhao Shanhe didn't expect his brother to be so useless. He had waited for the whole afternoon in vain.

"Have you arranged a time for your next meeting with the girl?" Zhao Shanhe asked

"That's right, I made an appointment with her to go out and play together next weekend," Zhao Shanhu said

Then there is no problem. As long as the girl is willing to come out, it means she likes him. Besides, although Zhang Baixue is very outstanding, her younger brother Zhao Shanhu is not bad either. He is 193cm tall, earns more than yuan, and looks good. The three brothers are all like Zhu Shimao and Chen Baoguo, tall, rich and handsome.

When Zhang Baixue returned home, her parents were asking the same question. Zhang Baixue's younger brother was also waiting beside her. Different family, same parents.

"My blind date is Zhao Shanhu, 20 years old, works in the security department of the steel rolling mill, and is a cadre. Chen Lanlan from the department store is his stepmother. His father died, and his mother died when she gave birth to the third child. He is the second child in the family. His eldest brother is a level engineer in the Ministry of Industry and now works in the steel rolling mill. His sister-in-law is an officer in the publicity department of the steel rolling mill. He has a younger brother who is in the second grade of junior high school, and there are two girls who are taken care of by his stepmother, one in the third grade and the other in the second grade of junior high school," Zhang Baixue answered truthfully. Some of the questions were introduced by Zhao Shanhe's family, and some were learned from Zhao Shanhu.

"Zhao Shanhu's family is also well off. They have sewing machines, radios, bicycles, and new furniture. Zhao Shanhu said his elder brother Zhao Shanhe said that as long as he gets married, all the money will be covered," Zhang Baixue added.

"Don't just talk about your family situation, tell us about your blind date," Zhang Baixue's mother asked.

"His three brothers are all quite tall. Zhao Shanhu is over 190cm tall. He doesn't talk much. He just answers whatever I ask him. He's like a fool." Zhang Baixue returned

"There are four people in the family who get paid. His brother is a level 7 engineer and his salary is higher than your father's. Have you found out how much he gets paid? Have you found out whether the family property is divided? "Zhang's mother asked again

As expected, everyone’s focus is different, but every old mother’s focus is the same. They are afraid that their daughter will suffer a loss after marrying into the family, so they have to find out everything.

"Zhao Shanhu said he is a level 43 clerk with a salary of 37.5 yuan, his stepmother and her sister-in-law are both level 169 with a salary of yuan, but his brother seems to be different. Although he is a level engineer, he enjoys the treatment of a level engineer and receives subsidies every month. His salary is yuan. They don't separate and eat together. It's mainly his brother who supports the family," said Zhang Baixue

If Zhao Shanhe heard these words, he would want to beat Zhao Shanhu to death. This means that you have not said anything, but you have exposed all the secrets of our family.
