Siheyuan: Classic Siheyuan

Of course, Chen Gong hopes that his sons can be honest and live an ordinary life.

Chen Xingliang listened to what Chen Xingguo said, and thought about the afternoon when Chu Rongguang and the man called Dalong fought to the death in Houhai Park. If he hadn't known to cover his face with his hands, he might have been bruised and battered now, and he didn't know how to explain to his family.

But Chu Rongguang and Chen Xingguo both agreed.

I don't know how my fourth brother will solve this problem, and how I can help him. Chen Xingliang still has a lot of feelings for his fourth brother Chu Rongguang. He also knows how Chu Rongguang treated Chen Li. He didn't tell Chen Li or his family about this big trouble behind his back.

.........

In the blink of an eye, it's the weekend.

It's very lively at home this morning.

Not only were all the family members at home, but even the eldest sister Chen Rong, the second sister Chen Rong, the eldest brother-in-law Zhou Shuqiang, and the second brother-in-law Sun Yifan were all back.

"Second sister, you're back. This is the fourth child in our family." Chen Xingguo introduced Chu Rongguang to Chen Ying.

When Chu Rongguang came back that day, he had met the other three people, except for the second sister Chen Ying. She looked to be about the same age as the eldest brother Chen Xingguo, and they also got married in the year the People's Republic of China was founded. She was indeed more beautiful than the eldest sister Chen Rong. She looked like a pretty girl, quite like a beautiful girl from a small family.

They are a perfect match for her husband Sun Yifan, who is also a gentle and refined man.

"Second sister." Chu Rongguang also called out.

"Hey! The fourth brother is really good-looking. I've heard from our Director Fu that my brother is very smart. I didn't expect he has such a handsome appearance." Chen Ying was exactly like Chu Rongguang in the impression that others had heard of her, a very casual person.

"Thank you for the compliment, second sister. You are good-looking, really beautiful. My second brother-in-law is so lucky." Chu Rongguang spoke very politely.

"Look at you, our fourth child is really good at talking. No wonder Director Fu said you are smart and clever." Sun Yifan was naturally overjoyed when he heard Chu Rongguang praising his wife.

"Sister, brother-in-law, you are back too." Chen Xingliang followed his elder sister Chen Rong and Zhou Shuqiang to greet them.

"Xingliang, I heard that you caught a cold yesterday. How are you?" Zhou Shuqiang said with a smile, but Chen Rong just nodded.

Although Chen Rong was pretty, she was a difficult woman to deal with. "Xingliang, how are you doing with your studies?"

"I'm just like that. What else can I do?" Chen Xingliang said perfunctorily.

"Xingliang, you've grown taller, haven't you?" Chen Ying looked at Chen Xingliang and said, gesturing.

"It's a little taller, but the tallest person in our family now should be our fourth brother. I wish I could have a head like our fourth brother." Chen Xingliang said, looking at Chu Rongguang's head.

Chu Rongguang is 1.86 meters tall, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist and long legs, all of which are the result of his hard work.

When they were in the countryside, Chu Rongguang was really kind to his aunt and uncle. He was the only child in the family, so naturally they raised him very well.

"The fourth son of our family is indeed good-looking. I was saying the other day that I had never seen such a handsome boy." Zhou Shuqiang said with a smile.

"Brother-in-law, I would feel embarrassed if you said that. Besides, we men don't make a living by how we look. The most important thing is to make a living by our real abilities." Chu Rongguang said with a smile.

"I heard that you are now working in the security department of your steel rolling mill. How is your work going?" Zhou Shuqiang asked.

"It's not bad. I've been working for a few days and it's okay." Chu Rongguang said.

"Okay, then you just work hard. The house has been allocated to you. But I heard that those who have not been converted to regular employees cannot get a house, right?" said the eldest sister Chen Rong.

After hearing this, Chu Rongguang understood why everyone was reluctant to chat with eldest sister Chen Rong. When Chen Rong came back, eldest sister-in-law Zhao Yanmin did not go to the kitchen to help, but ran back to her room directly.

"Yes, but I got a permanent job, so don't worry, and my dad also helped me with the house issue." Chu Rongguang said with a smile.

"Fourth brother, Dad told me last time that you haven't returned to the city yet, so he asked me to help you find a job. I was thinking of continuing to keep an eye out for you, but I didn't expect that you've already got the job." Sun Yifan said.

"If you want to move things to the room assigned to you later, you can order me around however you want. And give me a chance to make it up to you." Sun Yifan said a little embarrassedly.

"Second brother-in-law, what you said is too much. How could I be that kind of person? If you have any difficulties at work, I can understand. I am very happy that you can come back today to help me and my eldest brother move. By the way, I'll go out and buy some wine. I'll have a couple of drinks with my two brothers-in-law later." Chu Rongguang said.

Having said that, Chu Rongguang walked out.

"Old Four, don't bother, it's not necessary." Sun Yifan shouted.

"Yes, don't be so polite, we are all family." Zhou Shuqiang said.

"No need to call him, just let him go and let him buy the wine I bought last time. I couldn't help but drink some these days and it's not enough. Otherwise, I would have thought of saving it for you to come and drink together." Chen Gong said.

.........

Here.

Today is the weekend, and there are more people walking in the alleys of this old city than usual, and these courtyards also seem to have more lifelike atmosphere.

Chu Rongguang came to the He Family Tavern where he bought wine last night with ease.

This time, Chu Rongguang had time to take a closer look at the layout of the wine shop. There were square tables, long stools, and jars of wine behind and beside the counter. There was also the aroma of side dishes in the kitchen, and there were diners eating side dishes and drinking wine nearby.

Looking at these guests, Chu Rongguang knew that these people were the rickshaw and tricycle drivers nearby, or the laborers working under the Daqianmen Gate. They were all ordinary people.

"Sir, what would you like to order?" Chu Rongguang was looking at the tavern when suddenly a strange voice came, interrupting Chu Rongguang's thoughts.

Chu Rongguang listened to the clear and pleasant voice and turned around quickly. He saw an eighteen-year-old girl. She was tall and good-looking. Her two long braids were as white as lotus in clear water, which made people feel refreshed.

"Hello, I'm here to buy some wine, the same Red Sorghum you had that night. Do you have any more?" Chu Rongguang said.

"Yes, how much of this red sorghum do you want?" Xu Huizhen asked hurriedly.

"I want eight taels. Also, your side dishes are pretty good. Do you have anything delicious?" Chu Rongguang asked.

But no one responded to Chu Rongguang.

Chu Rongguang felt very strange. He then looked at Xu Huizhen who was pouring wine. She didn't pour the wine into the jar with the spoon in her hand, but poured it all on the ground. There should be two spoonfuls of wine on the ground.

Chu Rongguang was about to speak when he heard a scolding voice, "What's wrong with you? How can you not even do such a trivial thing well? If you can't do it well, get out of here. If you can do it, do it. If you can't do it, get out of here."

"Yongqiang, what's wrong? What's wrong? Why are you scolding your wife again? Is there anyone who is so disrespectful to your wife?" An elderly voice was heard, and a man in his sixties walked out of the house.

"Dad, look at what she did. All the wine was spilled on the ground. It did more harm than good." The man in his twenties looked like an honest man, but he directly fanned the flames and made complaints, which showed how much he looked down on this little girl.

"It's spilled, so what's the point of scolding her? Let's talk about it later. Now hurry up and serve this guest some wine. Let me do it. What do you want, sir?" said the elderly man.

"I want eight taels of red sorghum. If you have any side dishes, give them some too." Chu Rongguang looked at the fragrance of the side dishes in the room and couldn't help but say.

"Sir, we have rice noodles and pig lungs here. Our fried pig lungs and kidneys are all delicious. Would you like to try them?" Xu Huizhen said hurriedly.

"Then I'll order a portion of rice noodles, pig lungs, and pig kidneys." Chu Rongguang said generously.

"Okay, it will be ready soon." Xu Huizhen was so happy that she was about to go to the kitchen to help, but was stopped by the young man next to her, "Don't bother yourself, there are so many things to do in there. Really, I don't know what use you are."

Xu Huizhen looked very aggrieved, but she did not dare to talk back to the young man.

"Okay, Huizhen, don't bother with him. He is just like that. Don't worry, this tavern will belong to the two of you from now on." Old man He persuaded Xu Huizhen and prepared the wine for Chu Rongguang.

It’s a pity that when Chu Rongguang heard the word Huizhen, he didn’t think that this was the drama "Under Zhengyang Gate". After all, Chu Rongguang didn’t watch all period dramas.

Soon, He Yongqiang also came out from the kitchen with the side dishes that Chu Rongguang ordered. Nowadays, these side dishes are packed using kraft paper and wrapped in wrapping paper.

Chu Rongguang gave the money and left.

After Chu Rongguang left, He Yongqiang scolded Xu Huizhen in front of the guests. It was obvious from his expression how much He Yongqiang disliked Xu Huizhen, his daughter-in-law, which made Xu Huizhen very embarrassed.

This was all under the persuasion of Old Man He. If Old Man He hadn't been watching and persuading him, He Yongqiang would probably have taken action. He Yongqiang was very unconvinced in his heart. How come the girl who went on a blind date with him was different?

I had made everything fine with that girl and was going to marry her happily. However, after the wedding ceremony and when they were about to enter the bridal chamber, I found out that Xinnian was not the person I thought she was.

Moreover, Old Man He said that the person he wanted was already dead.

He Yongqiang disliked Xu Huizhen even more. He felt that Xu Huizhen had taken the position of her cousin Xu Huizhi. He could not accept this and hated Xu Huizhen very much.

Old Man He also knew that every married person on a blind date is different. He Yongqiang did feel aggrieved, and he couldn't openly deny face to his son. He could only forgive Xu Huizhen in private and persuade her to be more generous. Fortunately, Xu Huizhen has always been a sensible girl.

.........

When Chu Rongguang bought some snacks and eight taels of red sorghum and returned home, it was just time for lunch.

"I'm back." Chu Rongguang said.

"It's just right. We are about to have dinner. Look, Mom made so many delicious foods today." Chen Li said happily.

The dining table was indeed filled with food, including both meat and meat. Moreover, the table, which was originally very spacious, now seemed a little small.

"Is it the same wine from that night?" Chen Gong asked.

"Of course. I know you like it, so I'd like to have this red sorghum and some snacks to go with the wine. I just went to their place and their snacks smelled pretty good." Chu Rongguang said.

"That's great. Let's try it and see how delicious it is. It still smells quite fragrant to me now." Chen Xingguo said, and then he was busy helping Chu Rongguang open the appetizers.
