Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

In the afternoon, He Lai came out of the hospital, pushed his bicycle on the road, thinking about what Old Mrs. Zhou said.

Yes, although many people have many problems now, the country is at peace after all, and there is no more war. It is much better than before.

He Lai has been thinking about some bad things recently and has forgotten his own era. Most people still love all of this and want this country to be better. They are willing to devote themselves to it. He should not feel that it has nothing to do with him.

He Lai decided to do something. His space was so large, what was the point of keeping more than 20,000 kilograms of grain? There was no need to sell it, and he didn't need that much.

He Lai figured it out, so he rode his bike to a remote place outside Dazhalan in Xicheng District.

After observing for a long time and finding that there was no one there, he took out all the potatoes and sweet potatoes in the space, leaving only potato seeds and sweet potato vines for planting.

After throwing the things on the open space, he turned and left.

He Lai rode to another place and began to collect soil, intending to plant crops in most of the space.

In this way, Helai has about ten acres of space for planting. With the blessing of spiritual energy, about 200,000 potatoes and sweet potatoes can be harvested every month.

In this way, at least many people will not starve to death.

After a while, patrol officers from Dazhalan passed by and discovered the piles of grain on the ground, and quickly reported it.

The Dazhalan Sub-district Office also took it very seriously. After all, 20,000 kilograms of grain suddenly appeared on the vacant land. Although they didn't know who put it there, they still had people wait there for a while. Only after they were sure that no one claimed it did they collect it.

There were no cameras in that era, so it would be impossible to find out the answer by asking. After all, this was something He Lai made up out of thin air, and no one could have imagined it.

We can only assume that some wealthy person donated the food in this way.

After consulting with higher authorities, this batch of grain was soon sold at a low price at the grain station in Dazhalan, attracting a rush of residents.

……

As soon as He Lai returned to the courtyard, Yu Shui ran over and pulled He Lai into the house in the front yard.

"Come on, brother, do you still have those apples? They are so delicious." Yu Shui asked stealthily.

"Uh, no more. I'll give it to you next time I have more. Don't let anyone see it. Just the two of you eat it, okay?"

He Lai was also embarrassed. Several families in the courtyard knew that he had fruit, so they stopped taking the fruit out recently to avoid conspicuousness.

When he heard that the rain had stopped, he looked depressed.

"What's wrong? Without the apple, you can't speak?"

He Lai was amused by this girl Yu Shui, her expression changed so quickly.

"No way, come on, Chun'er and I will go play."

"You are not allowed to go. You just play all day long. Come with me to meet mom."

"Oh." Yu Shui hung her head and followed He Lai to the backyard.

There's no way. Now that He Zhan and the old couple He are here, it would be a bit awkward if Yu Shui was there. I don't know what to do, so I just sit there for a while each time.

"Don't be unhappy, mom has some fruits." He Lai whispered in Yu Shui's ear.

Yu Shui's eyes lit up instantly.

"But you can only eat it at home. You can't take it out to the yard. Do you understand?"

"Okay, come on, brother, walk faster." Yu Shui's energy returned.

He family

The rain kept haunting Wu Juan, and all kinds of auspicious words made Wu Juan extremely happy.

"Xiao Laizi, grandpa is going back to the countryside tomorrow. If you have nothing to do, come with him."

He Zhan said to He Lai.

"Ah, I guess not. An elder is sick and I have to go to the hospital to take care of him."

He Lai was not surprised when he heard that Mr. He was going back. After all, there was really nothing to do here and the old man could not sit still.

If Wu Juan wasn't already pregnant, Grandma He would have had to go back too.

"Oh, what elders?" He Zhan was a little curious.

"He's the man who gave our family the bicycle. His last name is Zhou. Mom has met him before."

"It's the fisherman. Is it serious? Do you want me to go and take a look some other day?"

When Wu Juan heard it was Mr. Zhou, she immediately showed concern.

"No need, they are all old injuries. Dad, are you injured? If you are injured, just tell me. Your son is a doctor now, he is very capable."

He Lai turned to ask He Zhan, after all, he had been a soldier for so many years.

"Dad was lucky after all. Nothing happened. He dodged the bullets. Then you take care of the others. Your grandfather and I will go back to our hometown tomorrow."

He Zhan just passed it over without mentioning the war and turned to talk about things in the countryside.

"By the way, where is grandpa?" He Lai just realized that the old couple He were not at home.

"I went to Uncle Li's house across the street to chat."

"I'll go take a look." He said and ran to Li Dawa's house.

"Come here, brother, hug me." As soon as Nannan saw He Lai, she stuck to him.

He Lai was not vague either. He directly picked up the candy and stuffed it into Nannan's mouth to prevent the little girl from asking for it.

"Grandpa, what are you talking about? You look so happy?" He Lai said with a smile.

"Let's talk about you, my dear grandson." When Mr. He saw He Lai coming over to talk to him, he also smiled.

"You think your grandson is so outstanding, right? Why did you return to the countryside? Isn't it good to watch over me every day?"

He Lai pulled over a stool and sat down, jokingly saying.

"Hey, grandpa is worried that your uncles will do something wrong. They can't ruin the land. With me here, they won't dare to be lazy."

Mr. He picked up the pipe beside him, took a puff of the cigarette, and said.

"Grandpa, where did the pipe come from? It must be Uncle Li's. You are not allowed to smoke it."

He Lai snatched the cigarette and gave it back to Uncle Li.

"Oh, it's so hard for grandpa to smoke a cigarette now." Grandpa He sighed.

"Grandpa, we need to smoke less and drink more tea." He Lai said with a smile, and then spoke to Uncle Li.

"Uncle Li, you should smoke less, especially in front of Xiao Shitou and Nannan. Children shouldn't smoke."

"Oh, okay, I won't smoke anymore in the future. I won't smoke anymore." Uncle Li didn't expect that he would be controlled too, and he responded quickly.

Li Dawa was trying hard to hold back his laughter. It had been a long time since anyone had criticized his father. After all, he was the one who had the final say on everything.

"Uncle Li, children's respiratory tracts are relatively straight, so it's easy for them to get lung infections, which can cause diseases like asthma."

He Lai didn't care whether Uncle Li understood what he said or not, he just continued talking.

"Oh, it's so serious. Okay, I get it. I won't smoke in front of Nannan and Xiao Shitou in the future." Seeing that He was serious, Uncle Li agreed.

"Brother Lai, you are so awesome. After hearing what you said, grandpa agreed to stop smoking. Nannan choked him several times, but grandpa wouldn't listen." Nannan said with a smile while lying on He Lai's shoulder.

"Hey, you dare to tell grandpa that you are strong, I will spank you."

Uncle Li stood up and pretended to hit him.

He Lai held Nan Nan and pretended to avoid him, while Nan Nan made faces at Uncle Li on He Lai. There was constant laughter for a while.

When Old Mrs. He, Aunt Li and Aunt Li heard Nannan's laughter, they all came out.

"Oh! Whose cute child is smiling?" Old Mrs. He looked at her daughter with a smile.

"Of course it's mine!" He Lai said proudly.

"Oh, Xiao Laizi, my daughter is becoming more and more attached to you." Aunt Li said with a smile.

"Of course not, I am Nannan's biological brother! Right, Nannan?" He said, resting his forehead against Nannan's.

"Yeah, yeah. Brother Lai is closer to me than my brother." Nannan smiled happily.

Little Shitou didn't dare to refute and could only watch and smile beside Li Dawa.

Aunt Li also knew that He Lai didn't allow Uncle Li to smoke in front of the children, and said that she would definitely keep an eye on him in the future.

Mr. He felt a little embarrassed, and soon he found an excuse and took Mrs. He back home.

He came over to smoke a cigarette and took away someone else's cigarette.

He Lai was holding his daughter and talking to Aunt Li about drinking tea. He also hoped that Uncle Li would gradually quit smoking.

However, Uncle Li rarely smokes now. After all, smoking is prohibited in the wood processing factory, so Uncle Li has no objection.
