Siheyuan: Classic Siheyuan

"Okay, Aunt Jia, let Daqing come along. Let's eat together. Wouldn't it be more lively with more people?" Matchmaker Wang said quickly to smooth things over.

Jia Zhang was filled with rage when she heard what Wang the matchmaker said. This was her family's business, so how could an outsider like her have any say in it?

I have already given her the matchmaker money and invited her to dinner, but I didn't expect this man to ask He Daqing to come along as well. Why?

This matchmaker is too greedy.

Unfortunately, Jia Dongxu was now dazzled by Qin Huairu and was counting on Matchmaker Wang to help him finalize the marriage. Naturally, he agreed to Matchmaker Wang's words, "Mom, Aunt Wang is right. Let's eat together. What's the big deal? Come on, Uncle He, let's eat. I'm really sorry to bother you with today's matter."

Having said that, Jia Dongxu took his people to his home, and He Daqing even snorted at Jia Zhang.

Jia Zhang was so angry. What happened to her precious son?

Why don't you do as agreed?

"Fourth brother, you really won't come with us?" Sha Zhu said.

"Forget it. I've already eaten at home, as you know. I'll go to my room and take a look. I'll move in tonight." Chu Rongguang said.

"Okay, then you wait for me, I will finish eating soon." said Sha Zhu.

After Shazhu said that, he definitely quickened his eating speed.

"Rongguang, you're here?" An aunt had just prepared lunch and was about to call Yi Zhonghai back to have lunch, but she unexpectedly saw Chu Rongguang in the yard.

"Yes, an old lady." Chu Rongguang nodded.

"Come on, while everyone is here today, I'll introduce you to everyone. How about you moving in tonight? I just heard about it in the house." said the aunt.

"It's all right. We're moving here tonight, so just tell everyone about it and get to know each other. We all want to get to know each other anyway." Chu Rongguang didn't care.

"Come on, let me tell you something. This young man is called Chu Rongguang. He will be a member of our compound in the future. The house he was allocated is in the backyard, that house. He now works in the security department of the steel rolling mill." After getting Chu Rongguang's permission, the aunt told everything she knew about Chu Rongguang.

"Hello everyone, my name is Chu Rongguang. I will live in this yard from now on. Please take care of me in the future." Chu Rongguang said, bowing slightly.

"Okay, that's good, young man. If you have any problems while living in this yard in the future, come to me. My surname is Yi, Yi Zhonghai, and I also work in the steel rolling mill. You can just call me uncle." Yi Zhonghai said.

These so-called uncles and aunts in their yard seem to be judging justice in the yard, but they are actually spies. If there is any suspicious person with unknown origin or who suddenly appears in someone's house, they will secretly report it to the street.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"This is Liu Haizhong, Lao Liu, the second uncle, and also a master in the factory."

"This is Yan Bugui, Old Yan, the third uncle. He is a teacher at the primary school affiliated with the steel rolling mill and a cultured man." Yi Zhonghai introduced the other two uncles to Chu Rongguang.

"Old Liu, Old Yan." Chu Rongguang also called out, but looking at the two men calling him "uncles" and thinking about what they had done, Chu Rongguang really couldn't call out any more.

Liu Haizhong is a man who is a kind father and filial son at home. He is a filial son even under the beatings and the envelopes. Except for being nice to the eldest son who needs old-age care, he doesn't even treat his other two sons as human beings.

Not to mention that Yan Bugui was such a calculating person. He clearly accepted Sha Zhu's gifts and promised to introduce Ran Qiuye to Sha Zhu, but in the end he took the gifts and did not do the job. He just wanted to get more benefits from Sha Zhu.

"Well, once you enter our yard, you will be a part of it. Since you are from the backyard, just come to me if you have any problems." Liu Haizhong said in an official tone and a leadership tone.

"Okay, I got it. I'll go see my house." Chu Rongguang said.

"Go and take a look. Everything has been cleaned up. If you see anything left untied, just tell them that I'll help you clean up after I finish lunch," said an aunt.

"Okay, don't worry, my family will bring the things to me later." Chu Rongguang said.

As Chu Rongguang spoke, he went to his own yard in the backyard. After crossing the moon gate, he arrived at the backyard. The backyard was obviously more spacious than the front yard and the middle yard.

After all, in ancient times, the backyard was where the women and children of the family lived.

Chu Rongguang went to his yard to take a look. It was indeed very clean. It was different from the first time Chu Rongguang came to this house. The furniture inside was also fully prepared.

The desk and bookcase are new, and there is also a new cabinet. Although Chu Rongguang doesn't cook, the pot, oil, salt, and flour in the house are already prepared here.

Chu Rongguang didn't expect that this really took a lot of thought and was more thoughtful than he thought.

These are all Wang Lanxiang’s thoughts about her son.

Outside in the yard, Chu Rongguang's family also came over.

"It's in this yard."

"That's right, it's here."

Wang Lanxiang was leading the way, accompanied by her elder sister Chen Rong and brother-in-law Zhou Shuqiang.

Chu Rongguang didn't have anything to bring from home, just the clothes he brought back from the countryside. As for the thermos for drinking water, the pot for boiling water, the pot for cooking, the washbasin for washing face, the basin for washing feet, and the towels, Wang Lanxiang went to the store to buy new ones.

"This yard looks bigger than ours, and there are quite a few people here. The fourth child will live in such a lively yard from now on." Zhou Shuqiang said.

"You don't know, if there are more people in this yard, there will be more troubles, just like the workshop in our factory." Chen Rong snorted.

"Didn't you just say at home that Fourth Brother is popular and no one would dislike someone like him?" Zhou Shuqiang said.

"Why are there so few people in this yard now?" Chen Rong said as he looked at the empty yard and continued walking inside.

"Isn't it time for lunch? Do you think everyone is like you? At home, I have prepared meals for you." Wang Lanxiang said.

As he spoke, he brought them to the door of Chu Rongguang's house in the backyard.

"This is it. The fourth child in our family lives here." Wang Lanxiang walked in first. Chu Rongguang was in this room thinking about what books should be placed in the bookcase. As for those who were considering collecting some cultural relics and antiques, Chu Rongguang knew too well that unless they were something particularly good, it was not the right time yet.

Therefore, Chu Rongguang's idea is to pretend to be cultured and buy some study tools tomorrow to practice calligraphy, draw some pictures, etc. to kill time after get off work.

If the workers in the workshop have a harder time, then those in the security department really don't have much to do except taking over shifts.

During working hours, Chu Rongguang basically has nothing to do as long as he checks to see if there are any suspicious people or things.

"Mom, sister, brother-in-law, you are here. Didn't I tell you that I don't have much stuff here? I can go get it myself." Chu Rongguang said.

"Why, we got it for you, why don't you appreciate our kindness?" Chen Rong snorted.

"Don't pay attention to her. Your eldest sister is just that kind of person. She wants them to come and get acquainted with you. The two younger ones and your eldest brother at home are fine. You can't persuade them to go home for dinner every day." Wang Lanxiang said, and then she went to help Chu Rongguang make the bedding on the kang.

If this happened in the future, every young man would need his mother to provide him with bedding.

But it is very normal in this era. This kind of thing is women's work, and the idea that men should work outside and women should work inside cannot be changed in such a short time.

"Mom, let me do it. Sister, brother-in-law, you guys just sit anywhere and watch." Chu Rongguang said.

"Let me do it. You are a grown man, how would you know this? You go and take a rest." Wang Lanxiang said.

Most mothers in the world work for their children and never feel tired.

Wang Lanxiang had clearly gotten up early in the morning to make breakfast for the family, then went to the market to buy vegetables, waiting for her daughter and son-in-law to come back.

Next, she had to prepare lunch for the whole family. Moreover, Zhao Yanmin did not help Wang Lanxiang today, and the two daughters did not have the opportunity to help either. This was all because Wang Lanxiang did not allow them to do so.

Wang Lanxiang is also a very traditional and typical woman. She is hardworking, capable, and willing to endure hardships. She will not trouble others, especially her children, for things that she can do well herself.

"Your house is quite big. The allocated house is good." Zhou Shuqiang said, looking at the house.

"That's right. Even though you are already old, you still need to find a wife." Chen Rong said.

"There's no rush about this matter, and you guys don't have to rush either. Come to our house often to play in the future." Chu Rongguang said.

"Of course. You haven't been to our house yet. How about coming to my place for dinner next Saturday night, and we can have a couple of drinks. Then call your second brother-in-law and the eldest brother, and we young people can have a good meal together, how about that?" Zhou Shuqiang suggested.

"I have to work overtime next Saturday night, so I won't have time to prepare food and drinks for you at home." Chen Rong said quickly.

Chen Rong doesn't have to work overtime next Saturday night, but he has made an appointment to play mahjong and doesn't want to stay at home to take care of these old men eating and drinking.

"Then let's go to your second sister's place and have a couple of drinks." Zhou Shuqiang didn't care, as if he had long been accustomed to Chen Rong's temper.

Chu Rongguang has already felt what kind of elder sister Chen Rong is like after his contact with her this morning and noon. Chu Rongguang even feels that his elder brother-in-law Zhou Shuqiang is a bit pitiful. How could he have such a daughter-in-law.

Only Zhou Shuqiang could tolerate such a wife, who had a bad temper and loved to pinch people when she spoke. If this happened in the future, such a person would also...

Zhou Shuqiang really felt wronged.

"Okay, then I'll have a drink with my two brothers-in-law. By the way, let's not let my second sister work too hard, let's go find a restaurant. How about the snacks I bought today? Otherwise, let's go to this tavern to eat and drink?" Chu Rongguang said.

"When the weekend comes, I'll find a day to go to your house to get acquainted. Next time when I'm free, we can go to the pub, or eat and drink at my place. We are all family, so please visit each other often in the future." Chu Rongguang had a very good impression of his brother-in-law.

"Okay, when we get off work, we'll meet at the entrance of the alley." Zhou Shuqiang said with a smile.

Chen Rong asked back, "Fourth brother, where are your friends? They just said that you are popular."

"I went to the blind date place, which is in the central courtyard." Chu Rongguang said.

"Our fourth brother is about to be born, and I am looking forward to attending his wedding next year." Zhou Shuqiang joked.

"My mother is in charge of this matter. What does it have to do with you?" Chen Rong retorted to her husband Zhou Shuqiang.

"Come on, brother-in-law, I'll show you around our yard." Chu Rongguang was almost unable to bear it anymore. They were just having a good chat, so why was Chen Rong like this?
