Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

Soon everyone in the compound got moving and took out the vegetables and noodles from their homes. Today, the whole compound started having a dinner party again.

The tables soon filled the entire central courtyard. When Yi Zhonghai came over, he was stunned. The little food he had was not enough.

When I entered the house, I realized that He Lai was planning to take this opportunity to hold a dinner party.

Soon, the He family's house was crowded with people. The women started washing vegetables and chatting again. He Daqing took Sha Zhu to cook. Even Xu Damao was pulled by Sha Zhu to help. Sha Zhu said that he could not let him be idle.

He Lai also admired He Daqing's magnanimity. After all, Yi Zhonghai did such a thing to him, but he was still willing to cook for him.

Soon the dishes filled all the tables and everyone took their seats. Everyone in the hospital was there, except the deaf old lady.

Everyone was waiting for Yi Zhonghai to speak, but unfortunately Yi Zhonghai was unwilling to speak and instead asked Liu Haizhong to speak on his behalf.

"Well, Mr. Yi might still be a little excited. So, let me say a few words on his behalf. Everyone knows that Mr. and Mrs. Yi have been treating their illness for more than half a year and finally have a child. It was not easy.

Thanks to the help of people in the hospital, we have been safe and sound these days. In addition, today the aunt and her niece recognized each other, which is a great thing.

So at Xiao Laizi's suggestion, we organized a dinner party. I hope everyone will continue to work hard, care for each other, help each other, and pass on the spirit of our civilized compound."

After Liu Haizhong finished speaking, everyone below applauded.

"Second uncle, are you ready? Let's eat."

"Yes, yes, my mouth is watering."...

The crowd started to make a noise.

"Okay, okay, I know everyone is envious. The cooking skills of the two chefs of the He family are extraordinary. I won't waste your time. Let's eat."

Liu Haizhong smiled and gave the order to start eating.

Now everyone started to eat. After all, these were all delicious foods. Not only chicken, duck, fish and meat, but also geese and bustards.

Everyone was having a great time eating, with a smiling face.

After a while, Yi Zhonghai came to He Daqing with a bottle of Fenjiu and poured a full bowl of it.

"Lao He, I know I've let you down, so I'll keep drinking until you're satisfied."

After saying that, he drank the whole bowl, took a breath, and poured another bowl.

He Daqing was not moved at all and just drank by himself. The people around him were stunned, not knowing what was going on and why he started drinking.

Soon bowl after bowl of wine was drunk, and the whole bottle of wine was finished.

Then Yi Zhonghai brought another bottle of wine and started pouring it.

"Lao He, please say something. If it doesn't work, forget it. Lao Yi has a hard time too."

Liu Haizhong guessed that it must be related to He Daqing's departure, but he couldn't just watch Yi Zhonghai keep drinking.

The aunt looked at Yi Zhonghai and said nothing. She just lowered her head and held the hand of Da Hu's wife.

He Daqing still didn't say anything, but he grabbed a bottle of wine, took a large bowl and poured it out, then drank it in big gulps, in order to ease the bitterness of all these years.

Everyone looked over here, speechless. Everyone was not a fool, so they naturally guessed that it must be related to He Daqing's departure. How could they persuade him?

In this way, the two of them kept drinking, and no one asked them to stop. Soon, they both had almost finished drinking, but they continued drinking.

Wu Juan pulled He Lai and signaled with her eyes that He Lai should help to settle the matter.

He Lai reluctantly pulled Sha Zhu and Da Hu over and whispered a few words to them.

The two of them responded immediately and walked towards He Daqing's table.

Dahu took away Yi Zhonghai's wine bottle and big bowl, and Shazhu also took away He Daqing's wine bottle and big bowl.

"Uncle He, I don't know what my uncle has done to let you down. Since you want to drink, let me drink it. I will definitely drink until you are satisfied."

Da Hu also poured some wine, raised the bowl to toast He Daqing, and started drinking.

"Dad, take a break. I'll drink for you." Sha Zhu said with a smile, and then he poured the wine and started drinking. He Daqing rolled his eyes.

Just like that, Dahu and Shazhu also started to drink slowly, now waiting for He Daqing to speak.

Soon, Shazhu and Dahu each drank a bottle.

The two young men couldn't hold their liquor as well as He Daqing and the others, especially Dahu, who seldom drank, so he was just holding on with all his strength.

Wu Juan looked at He Lai again, the meaning was very clear, hurry up!

He Lai had no choice but to take action himself. He walked over and snatched the wine from the two men.

"Uncle He, I'm not an adult yet, and I can only get drunk after one glass of alcohol. I know you're angry, but there's nothing I can do. Now that we're relatives, I can only beg you.

If you don't agree, I'll have to drink more wine, the alcohol content of this wine is quite high."

As He Lai spoke, he poured himself a bowl, took a big sip, and made an "ah" sound.

"Yushui, come here quickly and help your brother, this wine is too strong."

Upon hearing this, Yu Shui immediately ran over, supported He Lai, and called He Daqing softly.

"father."

He Daqing looked at the two people pretending to be important and smiled helplessly.

"Yi Zhonghai, you have a good wife. So let's just leave it at that for Xiao Laizi's sake."

After He Daqing finished speaking, he stood up and staggered towards Sha Zhu's house.

Sha Zhu and Yu Shui hurried over to support He Daqing, fearing that he would fall.

"Okay." After hearing what He Daqing said, Yi Zhonghai finally smiled and felt relieved.

Dahu also hurried forward and supported Yi Zhonghai shakily.

Yi Zhonghai looked at his nephew, nodded, and passed out drunk.

"Brother Dahu, help the old man back." He Lai ordered.

Just like that, Yi Zhonghai also left the stage.

"Alright, alright, everyone, eat quickly, don't leave any food behind, or you'll have to wash the dishes, which is so troublesome."

He Lai called out, and everyone laughed when they heard it, and continued to work with all their might!

He Lai returned to his seat.

"Mom, how is it? It was solved successfully, and I even brought back a bottle of wine." He Lai put the wine in his hand on the table.

"Okay, you're capable." Wu Juan was amused by He Lai.

"Xiao Laizi, thank you very much, and don't worry, your uncle will never do those things again."

An old lady said with tears in her eyes.

"Auntie, pregnant women can't cry, it will affect the baby. Let's give birth to the baby happily, okay?"

He Lai saw an old lady crying and quickly comforted her.

"Okay, okay, don't cry anymore. I should laugh. I should laugh. I have family again."

After hearing what He said, the aunt quickly wiped away her tears and continued.

"I really want to see my brother now. I haven't seen him for more than 20 years. I wonder if he still remembers me as his sister."

The aunt recalled the scene when her family fled famine together, as if it happened just yesterday.

"Aunt, I will go back in a few days and bring dad to see you. Dad has been missing you, so he changed my name to yours."

Da Hu's wife also smiled with tears in her eyes. Now the two Li Xiulans will live together.

"Okay, auntie will wait. Good children, all of them are good children." Auntie said with a smile, holding Da Hu's wife's hand with one hand and refusing to let go, for fear that this was a dream.

The dinner was over, and the women naturally took care of the rest. He Lai didn't have to worry about it at all. Those who drank too much lay down one by one.

Three people came to He Lai's house, Qin Jingru, Xier and Xiao Yangzi.

There was no way. He Daqing and Sha Zhu were both drunk and fell asleep, so Qin Jingru and the other three had no place to sleep. After all, the room was full of the smell of alcohol.

The ear room was also given to Qin Huairu, so Qin Jingru and the other two had no choice but to come here to He Lai.

"Sister Jingru, if you stay at my place for one day, you have to wash my clothes for one day, okay?"

He Lai said with a smile.

"Okay. Thank you, Brother Lai." Qin Jingru looked at He Lai's house and had wanted to live there for a long time.

"Okay, take the fruit yourself, and help me wash the quilt and clothes tomorrow, thank you. I'm going to take a shower."

After He finished speaking, he went back to the room to get his clothes and prepare to take a shower.

"Don't listen to Brother Lai. His quilt cover has just been changed a few days ago. It doesn't need to be washed." Yu Shui whispered to Qin Jingru.

Qin Jingru was stunned. He Lai was really bad! He only knew how to frame her. But these grapes were really delicious!

The two little ones had already been lying on the sofa eating apples, and Yu Shui was busy taking off their shoes, so as not to get them dirty.

He Lai came out and saw this scene. He pointed at the sofa and said to Qin Jingru.

"Sister Jingru, see, take off the sofa cover and wash it tomorrow."

Qin Jingru pouted. She was very busy tomorrow and felt that she could not wash it all. So she loosened her belt and ate some more fruit first.
