Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

Back to the courtyard

He Lai saw that the door of Yi Zhonghai's house was full of middle-aged ladies, all of whom came to visit her.

The auntie is quite popular. After all, she is always polite to everyone she meets.

"Little Laizi is here, come and help me check on my pregnancy. How is my body?"

When the second aunt saw He Lai coming back, she immediately greeted him.

"Second Aunt, please stop making trouble. First Aunt is being treated at my master's place. She will definitely recover. You should worry about yourself. How about I take a look at you?"

He Lai smiled and said, there was no other way, the rainwater ear room was right next to Yi Zhonghai's house, so he had to come over.

"Oh, Xiao Laizi, I dare not show it to you. I am fine. Don't show you that I am sick when I am not."

The second aunt quickly shrank back, and so did the other aunts. They all kept silent, fearing that He would say they were sick.

After all, no one who came to see He got better. Yi Zhonghai and his wife spent half a year treating their illness. Now I heard that the Jia family also became weak immediately after seeing the doctor. Needless to say, they are definitely sick.

Nowadays, people talk about all kinds of things. The aunties are quite good at gossiping.

Some people said that Jia Dongxu had an affair outside and his health was not good enough to have children.

Some people said that Zhang Guihua injured her body when she was giving birth and could not have children, and He Lai could not cure her.

Anyway, there were all kinds of things said, and in the end it was Jia Zhang who came out to start a fight, and that stopped the aunts from talking nonsense.

Yu Shui was also accompanying the old lady. After all, he hadn’t seen her for more than half a year and missed her.

He Lai didn't expect that He Daqing didn't cause trouble for Yi Zhonghai. It was also possible that the factory had looked for him but He Lai didn't know about it.

He Lai put down the cloth bag and came to Sha Zhu's house, where he saw He Daqing holding Meng'er and playing with Xi'er.

"Oh, Uncle He really knows how to enjoy himself." He Lai sat next to He Daqing with a smile.

"You naughty boy, Uncle He just wants to enjoy the family happiness now, haha."

"Uncle He, did the guy from Baoding let you come back so easily?"

He Lai was very curious about how He Daqing dealt with the White Widow, so he asked around.

"Want to know? But Uncle He can't teach you bad things. You should pay more attention to your mother."

He Daqing looked at He Lai's curious expression and was speechless.

"What's wrong with my mother? I'll go see." When He Lai heard what He Daqing said, he immediately got up and went to the backyard, no longer caring about his curiosity.

He Daqing smiled.

As soon as I arrived at the backyard, I saw Wu Juan and the others eating.

Everyone was stunned when they saw He Lai coming empty-handed. After all, they all knew that He Lai had eaten at Fengze Garden.

"Xiao Lai, have you eaten? Grandma will get you some chopsticks." Grandma He thought that He Lai might not have eaten, so she wanted to get the bowl and chopsticks.

"Grandma, no need. I've eaten. Is mom okay today?" He Lai realized that he might have been fooled by He Daqing. He was speechless, but still asked.

"Very good, nothing happened, don't worry about me all the time, just take care of yourself."

Wu Juan was very touched when she saw He Lai running over to her in a hurry just to ask about her situation.

He Lai could only sit aside and chat and eat with everyone.

After everyone finished their meal, He Lai returned to Sha Zhu's house in the central courtyard.

At this time, He Daqing was gone.

"Brother Zhuzi, where is Uncle He?" He Lai felt upset when he didn't see He Daqing.

"My dad has become the canteen director. Deputy Director Li has allocated him a house in the No. 93 compound. Dad left after dinner. What's the matter? Do you have something to talk to him about?"

Shazhu was playing with Xier and said casually.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's fine like this, the house was replaced in vain, it's raining!"

When He Lai heard that He Daqing had a place to live, why should he still live in the ear room?

When Yu Shui heard this, he thought something was wrong and immediately ran out with Qin Jingru without giving He Lai a chance to speak.

He Lai was also impressed by Yu Shui's operation. This father and daughter had taken advantage of him.

He Lai shook his head helplessly and returned to the ear room.

He Lai was lying on the bed in the space, thinking, when you beg me for help, it will depend on whether I pay attention to you or not!

Just like that, another week has passed and the New Year is coming tomorrow.

He Lai unexpectedly discovered that the sweet potatoes and potatoes were already ripe, and he dug them out with his mind, and there was actually a large pile of them, at least 20,000 kilograms. The yield of these two or three acres of land was so high, what should he do with these things now!

Never mind, just put it in a corner first and then plant it. If it doesn’t work, just find a vacant lot to dump it there. Anyway, the jade was picked up for free, so just consider it as making a contribution to the country.

He Lai was thinking about how to deal with this batch of sweet potatoes and potatoes when Zhang Zhiwen next to him woke him up.

"Come on, Engineer Chen just came over and told us to start the maintenance. After all, there will be no work scheduled for tomorrow because of the New Year."

"Oh, so you should go find Brother Liu for this. Isn't he the one who does it?"

He Lai said that he was just a salted fish, and if there was anything that could not be solved, he could come to him.

"Just move a little, just think of it as accompanying me, okay?"

Zhang Zhiwen really couldn't stand it anymore. He Lai was really good at slacking off. He was either translating or daydreaming. All day long, he seemed to be glued to his seat and didn't move at all.

He Lai was speechless. Why should he maintain the machine himself? Should he help clean it? There were not enough workers to clean it!

"Okay, okay, I'll go with you, but let's make it clear that I'll just look around and you guys will do the actual work."

He Lai couldn't persuade Zhang Zhiwen, so he agreed to accompany him to the workshop.

The two came to the third workshop and saw Liu Mu and others were busy cleaning and inspecting the machine tools with the workers.

"Hey, Zhiwen, you really invited He Lai to come down." Liu Mu joked when he saw He Lai.

"Brother Liu, there's no need to be like this. Do you need any help?"

He Lai smiled speechlessly and could only take the initiative to join in.

"Go and have a look at the machine tool in front. Those workers are cleaning it."

Liu Mu pointed to a lathe in front of them and said to He Lai.

He Lai was not vague and went straight forward to greet him.

"Three comrades workers, I'm here to help you."

"It's Technician He. Thank you so much. I can do it with confidence with you here."

The worker obviously knew He Lai's abilities, and the other two also smiled.

He Lai started checking directly and found that the machine tool was very clean.

He Lai then used his ability to check again and noticed that the spindle of a lathe was a little loose, so he reminded the worker in charge.

After checking, the man found that it was indeed the case and looked at He Lai with gratitude. It would be a big deal if the main shaft was loose. If it fell off, it would be fatal. Fortunately, it was discovered during the inspection.

The three workers checked the lathe again, fearing that there would be any more mistakes.

"It seems that sometimes just talking can help." He smiled self-deprecatingly.

Just as He Lai was about to leave, he heard a scream. It turned out that a worker accidentally fell while carrying parts, and the parts in his hands were scattered all over the floor.

Seeing this, He Lai hurried over to help and found that his foot might have been hit by a part and was slightly dislocated and sprained.

He Lai's medical skills were demonstrated at this time, and he helped the injured person to recover while he was not paying attention.

"Okay, let's ask two people to carry him to the infirmary. Don't touch the wound, it's not serious. Be careful next time."

"Thank you, thank you, Technician He." The injured worker was terrified and quickly expressed his gratitude when he heard He Lai's words. Everyone also applauded.

"Alright, alright, everyone, clean up the parts on the ground. Be careful where you step. If there are any extra things, ask someone to carry them."

He Lai waved his hand and gave instructions.

Soon, the workshop resumed working order.

"Technician He, thank you so much, otherwise my bonus this month would be gone."

The director of the third workshop came over to express his gratitude.

"Hey, it's not a big deal. We can go to the infirmary for treatment. I just happen to know a little bit of medical skills. I can't just watch and watch."

The workshop director didn't believe that the infirmary could cure the disease. He thought that the doctors there were just doing their job and they had a hard time even stopping the bleeding.

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then the workshop director went back to work.

"You are really great. You came down and saved someone." Zhang Zhiwen said with a smile.

"Okay, stop joking. Let's get to work early and finish early." He said and went to check somewhere else.

In this way, He Lai and his team spent the entire afternoon inspecting and repairing in various workshops, cooperating with the workers in maintenance work.
