Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

After entering the He family compound, it was obviously much quieter. Old Mrs. He was gone, and there were no chickens or ducks. There was only a water tank and a stove without an iron pot in the kitchen.

After He saw it, he realized that the big pot meal was still being eaten, which must be because the higher authorities had distributed relief food.

"Grandpa, are the others busy?"

He Lai asked curiously.

"Well, Daya works as an accountant in the auditorium, doing some bookkeeping and work point calculation work there. Fortunately, she has studied in junior high school and has some education.

Your uncle, second uncle, Da Hu and others are on the dam, trying to build a canal. The rest of the women are busy working in the fields. "

Grandpa He said happily that he believed that as long as everyone in the village worked hard, they would definitely not go hungry.

He Lai only now remembered that at that time the rural people were very enthusiastic about building canals.

The water conservancy projects were well repaired in the 1960s and 1970s, and the canals built in the rural areas played a huge role in ensuring the water needs of all the land in each village.

Unfortunately, after the reform and opening up, every family was allocated land, but the water conservancy projects built by their ancestors were abandoned. In the 80st century, % of some former grain-producing land has become barren because of the lack of water. What a pity! This is the current situation of most rural areas after the reform and opening up, with abandoned canals everywhere.

"Grandpa, is there anything to eat in the village now?" He Lai asked.

"Yes, yes. We have received some food from above. Last year, all of us in the village went into the mountains and harvested a lot of wild fruits, especially acorns. We also harvested a lot of mountain products such as pine nuts and hazelnuts."

"Grandpa, give me these snacks like Songzi. I'll exchange them for some staple food when the time comes."

In his previous life, He Lai really liked to eat these small mountain products. After all, mountain products taste very good and are very popular among modern people.

"Okay, I'll take you to the cafeteria now. The food there won't fill you up anyway." Grandpa He thought that since he had nothing to offer He Lai at home, he might as well go to the cafeteria.

"Grandpa, put away the things in the bag first, some milk powder and tea, and remember to share some with grandma and grandpa."

He said as he handed the package to Mr. He.

"Okay, the grandson is still filial. Wait for grandpa to come into the house and put it down."

Mr. He carried the package and went into the inner room.

The two of them arrived at the cafeteria, and He Lai saw his grandmother busy cooking.

It’s just a little cornmeal mixed with some wild vegetables. It should be the legendary wild vegetable dumplings.

"Grandma." He Lai walked to Old Mrs. Wu and called out.

"Xiao Laizi is here. Oh, there is nothing to eat today."

Old Mrs. Wu was happy for a moment, then she clapped her hands and clapped her thighs. Then she remembered that she wanted to eat wild vegetable dumplings today, and she wanted to get something delicious for He Lai, but there was nothing.

"Grandma, wait a minute. I'll catch some wild rabbits for you."

He said and ran out.

"Come back, come back, there are no more hares." Old Mrs. Wu shouted from behind, but unfortunately He Lai had already run far away.

These days, everyone in the village is busy catching wild game, and the hillsides have long been bald.

He Lai only discovered this when he arrived at the place. He stood there awkwardly for a while, hesitated for a moment, and then went into the mountains.

With He Lai's current physique, he is not afraid at all as long as he does not encounter tigers, bears and the like. He Lai also wants to encounter wild boars. Wild boars rank first, but they pose a greater threat to humans than other animals, and their combat effectiveness is still relatively low.

In spring, animals come out to look for food. He Lai saw a lot of fresh feces, but he didn't know what animal it belonged to, so he could only look for it slowly.

Not long after, we actually found an adult male wild boar digging in the soil looking for food.

The wild boar also discovered He Lai, and immediately stared at He Lai and launched a charge, but was not at all afraid of He Lai.

Unfortunately, He Lai, who had the cheat in hand, was not afraid at all. When the wild boar rushed to him, He Lai stood up and jumped, put one hand on the wild boar's back, and pulled the wild boar into the space in an instant, controlling the wild boar in an instant.

He Lai suddenly thought of Obito in Naruto. Isn't this the legendary Kamui? He suddenly felt a little excited.

The song in my mind started playing unconsciously.

"How lonely it is to be invincible

How empty is invincibility?

Alone at the top, the cold wind keeps blowing! "

He Lai came to the trap in the oak forest and put the wild boar down. The wild boar was stunned for a moment, then realized that it was still alive and instantly jumped up again, but unfortunately it could not escape.

He Lai quickly ran back to the door of the village canteen and saw Grandpa He.

"Grandpa, there's a big wild boar in the trap in the oak forest!"

"Oh, really? Let's go and take a look." Grandpa He was stunned. He had been watching for so long but there was no wild boar going in, but as soon as He Lai arrived, there was one!

"Grandpa, the wild boar is a bit big. Let's call the village chief." He Lai didn't lack this little pork anyway. It would be good to improve the food for the villagers.

"Okay, I'll go call someone, you wait here." After saying this, Mr. He went to find the village chief.

He Lai returned to Old Lady Wu. There were not many people in the cafeteria, as they had all gone to the dam to deliver food.

"You naughty boy, you are sweating all over. You must be tired. There are no rabbits now! There is no hillside." Old Mrs. Wu said as she helped He Lai wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"Grandma, there is no hare, but there is a big wild boar." He Lai gestured with a smile.

"Is it true?" Old Mrs. Wu said in surprise.

"Of course it's true. It's in the trap in the oak forest. It weighs at least several hundred kilograms!" He Lai said with a smile.

"Oh my, my grandson is such a lucky star, a wild boar came to his doorstep as soon as he arrived."

Old Mrs. Wu was also very happy.

At this time, Mr. He came with the village chief and several others.

"Grandpa, it's in the trap in the oak forest. You can take people to catch it. I'll stay here with grandma."

"Okay, Na Gensheng, let's go." Grandpa He didn't force him and went with the village chief and a few others.

The aunties in the cafeteria started boiling water, preparing to kill the wild boar and drain its blood.

Old Mrs. Wu pulled He Lai aside to talk about Wu Juan's condition. After learning that she was doing well, she felt relieved.

Soon, Grandpa He and his companions came back carrying the wild boar.

"It's so big. It must weigh at least two or three hundred kilograms." Old Mrs. Wu exclaimed as she looked at the wild boar carried by the villagers.

He Lai chuckled.

I feel like I can raise a few pigs in this space. I seem to remember that there was a 250-pound pig in the movie “Man is Iron, Rice is Steel”, which made the whole factory excited. We named it Zhu Xiaozhuang!

Cui Dake, who came from the countryside, exchanged a job for a pig and reached the pinnacle of his life step by step. Although he was a bad person, his spirit of working hard to climb up is worth learning from for many people.

Then I can raise a few of them in the space, and then arrange a few people from the He and Wu families to work in the factory. It should be quite simple.

He Lai thought about it and smiled, let's do it. It's better to take care of relatives.
