Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

The next day, He Lai simply asked Sha Zhu to ask for a few hours of leave for him to wait for Wu Juan.

"Mom, look at Wu'er, she smiles when she sees me, her big brother! Unlike little Wenzi, she cries when I hug her!"

He Lai held He Wu and said to Wu Juan.

"I told you not to call me Xiao Wenzi. Is it because mom hasn't spanked you in a long time?"

Wu Juan immediately expressed her dissatisfaction and reached out to hit He Lai.

"Grandma, grandma, you see, mother is partial. I have been called Xiao Laizi even when I was grown up, but my brother is so young, but she won't let me call him that."

He Lai quickly hid behind Old Lady He and started to complain.

Wu Juan was so angry that she laughed. Ever since she knew the homonym of "Xiao Wenzi", He Lai has been calling him "Xiao Wenzi" all the time! If she had known this would happen, she would not have named him He Wen.

"Okay, Juanzi, Xiaolaizi can call me whatever you like. It's just a name."

Old Mrs. He took the lead in protecting He Lailai.

"Yeah, it's okay, it's just a nickname. Look, other people's nicknames are different, Goudan and Gou Wa are all called the same, Xiao Wenzi is fine."

Old Mrs. Wu also spoke up.

With the support of two elders, He Lai suddenly became more confident and was no longer afraid of Wu Juan.

When Wu Juan heard what Old Lady He and Old Lady Wu said, she had no choice but to endure it for the time being. She would deal with He Lai after they left. No matter how old he was, he was still her son, and she had to give him a good beating!

But soon the two little ones started crying one after another. There was nothing they could do because they were hungry and needed their mother Wu Juan to feed them. He Lai could only wait outside alone.

After a while, Old Mrs. He and Old Mrs. Wu came out, and Wu Juan had to stay for a while.

Before He Lai could say a few words, Aunt Zhang's shouting was heard from outside the yard.

"Sister-in-law He, there are relatives coming to your house."

He Lai quickly ran out and saw that it was Old Man Wu who came with Da Wa, Wu Sheng and Xiao Cao.

"Grandpa." He Lai ran over with a smile and took the bag from Grandpa Wu.

"Oh, we finally found a place. Xiao Lai, help the old man into the house to rest for a while." When Mr. Wu saw He Lai, he immediately felt relieved and quickly gave instructions.

He Lai smiled and helped Mr. Wu in. The three people behind him quickly followed. Aunt Zhang went back with a smile.

After a brief greeting, He Lai took Da Wa and Xiao Cao to the Red Star Steel Mill. After all, he was busy with the formalities.

He Lai quickly found Secretary Liang and asked him to drive the three of them to the machine repair shop.

He Lai drove the car himself and started chatting with Secretary Liang who was sitting in the passenger seat.

"Brother Liang, is the director of this machine repair factory surnamed Liu?"

"How did you know? His last name is Liu, and he was promoted not long ago. He is the acting factory manager. There are not many people in this machine repair factory. Except for the location being a little off the beaten track, in the suburbs, other conditions are pretty good."

"Hey, I can tell fortunes and predict people's fortunes. Brother Liang, do you want to try?"

"Forget it, you should use it yourself. This is not popular nowadays."

Secretary Liang responded with a smile, saying that feudal superstition should not happen to him.

About twenty minutes later, He Lai and his companions arrived at the machine repair factory. After receiving the notice, Director Liu hurriedly brought people over. He had to receive the secretary of the deputy director of the main factory well.

With the support of Director Liu, Da Wa and Xiao Cao quickly got their jobs. Xiao Cao went to the human resources department as an intern, and Da Wa went to the welding workshop as a welder apprentice. In a machine repair factory, welder is considered the best job.

"He Lai, now that we're done, let's go back." Secretary Liang said.

"Engineer He, now that you are here, please help us take a look around our workshop." Director Liu spoke up immediately. When he knew that He Lai was an engineer, his attitude was extremely friendly.

He Lai thought about it and wanted to see the characters in "Man is Iron, Rice is Steel", so he said, "Brother Liang, why don't you go back first, and I will accompany Director Liu for a walk."

"Okay, I'll be leaving first. Director Liu, you have to send Engineer He back to me when the time comes."

Secretary Liang gave an order.

"Okay, okay, I'll definitely send it back." Director Liu agreed quickly.

After Secretary Liang left, Director Liu couldn't wait to invite He to inspect the workshop.

He Lai had no choice but to go with them. There were not many workshops in the machine repair factory, only four. He Lai only helped point out some problems with the machines. After all, there were many people in the machine repair factory who could repair machines, and as long as they found the problem, they could handle it themselves.

"Mr. He, the welding workshop is in front." Just as Director Liu finished speaking, a group of children rushed past him.

As luck would have it, a little girl accidentally tripped and fell in front of He Lai.

He Lai quickly helped her up, brushed the dust off her body, and picked her up.

"Did it hurt from the fall?"

"Uncle, I'm fine." The little girl looked at He Lai's face and shook her head.

"He Gong, don't mind it. We have a lot of children in our factory, and they are running around in the factory."

Director Liu explained.

"Director Liu, you may not know this, but I grew up working in the factory. We are advocating that we should treat the factory as our home."

He Lai said this with a smile, then took out a piece of candy from his pocket and gave it to the little girl.

The little girl was about to reach out to take it, but then she pulled her hand back.

"Why, don't you like candy?"

"Mom said that we can't just take other people's things."

"What's your mother's name?"

"My mother's name is Liang Ladi, and she's very great." The little girl became proud when she mentioned Liang Ladi.

As soon as He Lai heard it, he knew it was Xiu'er.

"Then let me guess, is your name Xiu'er?"

"Uncle, how do you know Xiu'er's name?" Xiu'er was confused. It was obviously the first time she met He Lai.

"Because I'm Xiu'er's uncle. Come and take it. I have plenty of candy."

He Lai took out some candies and stuffed Xiu'er's little pockets full of them.

"Thank you, uncle. Then why didn't you come to see Xiu'er before?" Xiu'er suddenly became happy and hugged He Lai's neck.

"Uncle, I was studying far away before, but now that I'm done working, are you coming to see Xiu'er right away?"

"Then uncle, can you come to visit Xiu'er more often in the future?"

"of course can!"

"Okay, okay, I have an uncle." Xiu'er shouted happily in He Lai's arms.

"Okay, go play with your brother." After a while, He Lai saw three little boys not far away staring at him, so he put Xiu'er down.

"Goodbye, uncle." Xiu'er waved and ran towards Damao and the others.

"Director Liu, let's go."

"Great, great, I didn't expect that Engineer He also knew Liang Ladi. She's a very capable female welder in our factory, a young level 4 welder!"

"I've only heard of him, but I don't actually know him." He Lai quickly explained.

"Oh, I see." Director Liu was a little disappointed. It would be great if he knew He Lai. Just look at the ability He Lai showed before. He could tell what was wrong with the machinery and equipment just by looking at it. His skills were too strong.

Several people quickly entered the welding workshop and saw the workshop director, his eldest son and a beautiful woman talking to each other.

"Liang Ladi, you must bring this apprentice with you. If you don't, believe it or not, I will transfer you to another position!"

"I don't believe it! If you have the ability, try to adjust one!" Liang Ladi turned on the welding gun and started to demonstrate in front of the workshop director, scaring the workshop director so much that he kept hiding.

"Liang Ladi, you want to rebel!" Director Liu hurried forward to stop her.

When Liang Ladi saw Director Liu and a group of people looking at her, she quickly put away her welding gun. No matter how powerful she was, she would not dare to act rashly in front of so many people.

He Lai looked at Liang Ladi with a smile. She was indeed quite fierce, but she was also pretty.

Under the appearance of work clothes, you can see that she has a good figure, with the right curves and curvy parts. She is worthy of being the only beauties in the machine repair factory.

"Hello, Comrade Liang Ladi, my name is He Lai." He Lai stretched out his hand and introduced himself.

Liang Ladi looked at He Lai's young face and for a moment she didn't know whether she should shake hands.

"Liang Ladi, didn't you see Engineer He extending his hand? Engineer He is an engineer from the main factory!" Director Liu spoke again.

"Ah, hello, hello." Upon hearing this, Liang Ladi quickly stretched out her hand and shook it.

"Comrade Liang Ladi, this man is my cousin. I would like to ask you to accept him. Of course, you can make a request, and I will definitely satisfy you."

He Lai smiled and said, after all, Liang Ladi was short of food, so he would just consider it as helping her.

"Any request?"

"Ah."

"Then I want ten pounds of pork."

"Liang Ladi, you are crazy about wanting meat!" Director Liu said immediately.

"Didn't he ask me to just ask casually?" Liang Ladi whispered, knowing that her request was a bit excessive.

"It's okay, it's okay, Director Liu, I agree to this condition, I will send it to you tomorrow."

He Lai said with a smile.

"Really, thank you, thank you." When Liang Ladi heard He Lai agreed, she immediately took He Lai's hands with both hands and expressed her gratitude.

He Lai looked at Liang Ladi like this, and suddenly remembered the blind date between Liang Ladi and Director Xu of the grain station. I don't know how much she endured just for a bite of food. A widow with children is really pitiful.
