Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

He Lai and his companion had just arrived at the gate of the courtyard, and the workers had just got off work. Sha Zhu and his wife happened to be behind He Lai's car.

He Lai stopped the car and let the rain water come down. The rain water quickly came down and touched his butt.

"Hey, Xiao Laizi, you can't do it either! Where's the front bumper pad? The rain must be hurting your butt."

Sha Zhu immediately stepped forward and started to mock him.

"Yushui, let's go and ignore your brother." He Lai didn't want to give Sha Zhu a chance to show off, so he pushed the cart into the yard.

"Don't go, wait for me." Sha Zhu immediately followed. Qin Huairu shook her head and also pushed the cart into the courtyard.

"Yu Shui, get two bottles for Hu Zi and Chun Er." He Lai said to Yu Shui.

When Yu Shui heard this, she took two bottles from the box and went into Hu Zi's house.

"Xiao Laizi, can you give Brother Zhuzi a bottle? I haven't had a drink in a long time." Sha Zhu pushed the cart side by side, no longer with the cocky look he had just had.

Xiao Yangzi and Bang Geng saw He Lai pushing the cart over and also gathered over.

"Hmph, come here, Xiao Yangzi. I'll give you a bottle of soda. Drink it with Bang Geng."

He Lai ignored Shazhu and instead gave a bottle to Xiaoyangzi and touched his and Banggeng's heads.

Xiao Yangzi got the soda and quickly came to Sha Zhu's side.

"Dad, help me open it."

Sha Zhu took the soda, bit the bottle hard with his mouth, and the cap opened.

"Xiao Yangzi, can you give daddy a sip, just a sip?" Sha Zhu asked his son for soda!

"Mom! Dad stole my soda." Xiao Yangzi immediately called Qin Huairu. Banggeng also looked at Shazhu, who had just come over and said he had his share.

"You're an adult now, give it back to your son. Hurry up." Qin Huairu quickly supported her son.

Sha Zhu had no choice but to give it to Xiao Yangzi.

"Bang Geng, let's go drink over there."

Xiao Yangzi got the soda and went to the side to drink it with Banggeng.

Sha Zhu went home in a bad mood and sat on a chair. Qin Huairu also smiled. She was an adult, but she was still upset because of soda.

"Zhu Zi, if you want to drink, why don't you go to Xiao Lai Zi's house? Aunt He will give it to you."

"Yes, how could I forget? Wife, I'm going to go cook for Xiao Laizi first. You can come over with some food later."

When Sha Zhu heard this, he thought it made sense. He had asked Aunt He for help, so she would definitely give it to him. He immediately got up and went to the He family.

Qin Huairu and Qin Yuru both laughed.

Soon, Sha Zhu's family gathered at the He family, and of course there was a table of food.

"Brother Zhuzi, are you attacking the... the landlord?" He Lai asked, and almost said the local tyrant.

"Don't talk nonsense. Eat your food well, Xi'er. Be good. Let your aunt feed you."

Wu Juan was feeding Xier, and He Lai smacked his lips, thinking, "Mom is only a few years old, and she's already a grandmother!"

I've used up half of the box of soda. It's gone a little too fast. I'm going to bring another box tomorrow. I wonder if anyone will have any objections.

No, I have to write down the steps tonight and make them clearer, otherwise it will be difficult to report back.

……

The next day, He Lai came to the First Hospital and went to Fang Qing's office first.

"Aunt Fang, it's me, He Lai." He Lai knocked on the door.

The door opened, and it turned out to be Song Xue.

"Why are you here?" He Lai regretted asking. She is someone else's daughter, and you asked her why she is here.

Song Xue rolled her eyes, indicating that the question you asked was so thoughtless.

"Well, um, I came over to see how the mushrooms are growing." In order to ease the embarrassment, He Lai had to directly express his purpose.

"It's pretty good. Several of them have grown well and we picked them and ate them. I just checked them and just came back." Song Xue did not hide anything.

"How much does one of them weigh? Have all of them grown? Did Sister Fang and Sister Ma keep track of it for me? Are there any..."

He Lai was interrupted by Song Xue before he could finish his question.

"What do you think of me? Go ask your sister yourself. Sister, sister." Song Xue sat in Fang Qing's seat angrily and ignored He Lai.

He Lai was embarrassed now, knowing that he was anxious. He could only stand there for a while to see if Fang Qing would come back.

"Oh, Xiao Laizi, you are here. You are here to see mushrooms, right? Come on, I will take you there." Fang Qing also put down the notebook in her hand and called He Lai to go together.

"Thank you, Aunt Fang." He Lai hurried to catch up, and even called the two nurses on the way.

When we got to the mushroom house, we found that it was indeed very good. The mushroom bags made of this branch fungus were indeed useful. Most of them had mushrooms.

"Sister Fang, Sister Ma, show me the records. Also, spray more water on the mushrooms that haven't bloomed. Try another position."

He Lai said.

The nurse named Fang quickly handed the record book to He Lai, who took it and started reading it.

The amount of water used each time, the number of mushrooms grown, and the growth rate of the mushrooms are all recorded clearly.

He Lai also smiled happily when he saw that each mushroom weighed about 180 grams. There were more than mushroom bags, which must be a lot of mushrooms.

"The mushrooms that have been picked still need to be sprayed with water. They will grow many times. Let's see how many times it takes before they stop growing. Thank you for your help, sisters."

He Lai returned the record to Nurse Fang. The two nurses said ok and started to prepare to spray water again.

"Okay, let's leave it to these two. I'll send more people over when the time comes.

The picked mushrooms are still in the kitchen, do you want to take some back to try?" Fang Qing said.

"Of course, I'll get it when I leave. Aunt Fang, please give me a few more spray bottles, I'll take them back for my family to use." He Lai said happily, the mushrooms finally came out.

"Okay, I'll have someone pack it for you when the time comes, and bring a spray bottle too."

"Thank you, Aunt Fang."

"Don't be polite to Aunt Fang all the time. Aunt Fang should thank you for providing delicious food in the hospital." Fang Qing said with a smile.

The two returned to the office, and Song Xue didn't know where she went.

"Aunt Fang, please help me pass on the technology to the country so that more people can learn to grow mushrooms. In this way, everyone will be able to afford to eat mushrooms in the future.

Also, my technology is still not perfect, and I need professionals to do this kind of thing. They can definitely make this technology better and control the cost of mushroom bags."

He Lai thought about it and said to Fang Qing.

In fact, He Lai also knows that the cost of a mushroom bag is still quite high and not suitable for ordinary people to buy, so the country must develop it.

Otherwise, the plastic film alone would be enough to cost a whole bottle of wine. The price of the film is a bit high now, not to mention the materials inside the mushroom bag. Even a wheat ear alone is not something an average family can afford.

"Okay, Aunt Fang was planning to talk to you about this. After all, being able to grow so many mushrooms is definitely a great thing for the country."

Fang Qing looked at He Lai and said with a smile.

"Aunt Fang, don't say I developed it. I'm still too young. Just say you led the team to develop it. I don't want to attract too much attention. I hope Aunt Fang can help me."

He Lai was worried that he would be forced to work in agriculture, so he had to survive.

"Are you sure about this? This is a great achievement and will be of great help to your future."

Fang Qing looked at He Lai and said seriously.

"It's okay. I want to work at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill in the future. I don't want to be dragged into agriculture. It's too tiring. I saw the work done by the people in the Agricultural College, and I can't stand it. Aunt Fang, just help me."

He Lai quickly explained it clearly.

I had to stay in the steel mill to survive the difficult period of the Great Revolution.

"How can you say that? Forget it, since you don't want it, I'll take it for you.

You gave me the credit, so I owe you a big favor. If you need any help in the future, just come to me. Your aunt Fang’s family is still quite powerful.”

He Lai gave a technique, and Fang Qing gave a favor. He Lai said that favors from big shots are very good, and Fang Qing is the dean of the First Hospital, so her status as an elder is definitely not low.
