Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

The next day, He Lai got up and found that Xiao Yushui did not go to the steel mill with her mother, but was lying on the bed looking at him.

"Sister Yushui, what's wrong? Are you still unhappy?" He Lai came to the bedside.

"Brother Lai, is it Yu Shui who has dragged down dad and brother? Why do those people always say that I am a money-loser. Brother Lai." Yu Shui cried facing He Lai.

"Yushui, you can't say that. Yushui is the apple of Brother Zhuzi's and Uncle He's eye. She is the closest person to Yushui in this world!

We are children now, and it is normal for children to be taken care of. Don't let your imagination run wild, or your father and brother will worry."

"Then why is my brother crying?"

"Because Brother Zhuzi was scolded by your father yesterday. Xiao Yushui would also cry if he was scolded." He Lai could only coax him.

"Well, Aunt Jia across the street always scolded me, and I started crying. But my dad beat Aunt Jia severely. Dad told me that if anyone scolds me in the future, he will beat him." Xiao Yushui's memories slowly emerged.

"But later on, Dad never came back, so my brother helped me beat them. But sometimes he couldn't beat them. He always got bruised and swollen." Yu Shui recalled while lying on He Lai.

"Be good, Yushui. I will help you beat them from now on." He Lai raised his little fist and gestured.

"Thank you for coming, brother."

"Should we get up now? Otherwise, we will become lazy bums."

"Okay." Xiao Yushui started to put on her clothes.

After Xiaoyushui finished washing up, He looked at the clock and it was already 9:.

"Rainwater, are you hungry?"

Xiao Yushui nodded.

"How about I take you to your brother's restaurant for dinner today?"

"Yeah."

Little Rain jumped up happily.

"Then let's go."

He Lai and Xiao Yushui went to Xu Damao's house.

"Brother Damao, let's go! Xiao Yushui is treating us to a meal."

"Hey, is this true? I'll put on some clothes and come right over."

After a while, the three of them were on their way to Fengze Garden.

Xu Damao also knew that they were going to eat at Shazhu's restaurant, and he was very excited, saying that he would be the one to order the dishes. He Lai said that was no problem.

But I had to order braised lion's head and fish-flavored shredded pork, the rest was optional. The road was a bit far, and Xiao Yushui couldn't walk anymore, so Xu Damao just carried it on his back.

After fishing training, Xu Damao's physical fitness has improved a lot, and he can carry a 7-year-old child on his back with ease.

After all, he was going to eat Sha Zhu's food later, so he had to show off a little. The excitement was enough to make Xu Damao run.

The three of them came to Fengzeyuan and sat down in a seat in the lobby. The waiter immediately came forward to greet them.

"My three guests, this is the menu. What would you like to order?"

When Xu Damao saw that it was a bit expensive, he suddenly felt a little weak. After all, Xu Damao didn't have much money on him.

He Lai reluctantly took the order, "One serving of braised lion's head, one serving of shredded pork with fish sauce, one serving of Dongpo pork elbow, four steamed buns, and three bottles of soda."

"Okay, what else do you want me to do?"

“Can someone be designated to do that?”

"Can"

"Ask He Yuzhu to do it, He Yuzhu!" Xu Damao suddenly interrupted.

"Got it, sir, wait a moment, I'll be right there!"

After a while, He Yuzhu ran out. Seeing that it was He Lai and the other two, he felt relieved and ran over to hug Yu Shui.

"Hey, I knew it was you. Are you stupid? This is so expensive. Do you know that three dishes plus a piece of bread cost 10 yuan?

You have the money to cook, but you still ask me to cook. I can do it. Fengzeyuan will never let apprentices cook. If they mess up, it will affect the reputation. "

"Grandpa, I have money. He Yuzhu, come on, do it for me. I want you, He Yuzhu, to do it." Xu Damao shouted.

He Yuzhu rolled his eyes and ignored Xu Damao. He said to He Lai, "Give me 5 and I'll ask the master to make it for you!"

He Lai smiled and gave Sha Zhu 5 yuan, and Sha Zhu went in.

After a while, the dishes came up, and Sha Zhu even added a bowl of pig's trotter soup.

The three of them started eating immediately and were full in a short while. Sha Zhu must learn how to make this pig's trotter soup first. When he goes back later, he will buy a few pig's trotters and make arrangements. If Sha Zhu doesn't go home, He Daqing will be able to do it!

Soon the dishes were finished, and the three of them patted their stomachs in unison. Shazhu came out, smiled when he saw Xiao Yushui, and gave her some hawthorn slices. He patted Xiao Yushui's head.

"Go back quickly and remember to walk to digest your food."

"Brother Zhuzi, let's go. Learn quickly, I want to eat!"

"Goodbye, brother." Xiao Yushui waved her hand.

"Xiao Zhuzi, step back." Xu Damao also waved his hand to step back.

The three of them left slowly with big bellies and chewing hawthorns.

I was tired, so I called a tricycle and went back.

"Rainwater, are you happy?"

"happy!"

Then can you give me half of the small treasury?"

"cannot!"

"why?"

"Because mom said that my brother won't come to me anymore if he has money!"

"Forehead.."

.....

School started again, a boring study life. He Lai lay on the table with a look of despair.

In Chinese class, Teacher Zhang suddenly called my name. I stood up in bewilderment the second time.

"Before class today, I'll ask He Lai to come forward and read aloud the composition he wrote during the winter vacation. Everyone applaud!"

"I seem to remember that I put myself in the story and wrote about my father!"

There was applause.

He Lai had no choice but to get up and pick up his notebook.

Dear Dad, how are you? Today the teacher asked us to write about our own dads.

My father is a great Chinese People's Volunteer Army soldier. I am very proud of him. I want to bring this pride to everyone I know, because this is my father.

When I saw the workers walking towards the factory with firm and powerful steps, and when I saw the farmers carrying heavy hoes and walking towards the fields, I saw bright smiles on their faces. At that moment, I couldn't help but feel that they must be immersed in happiness.

Recalling every morning, when I was eating the steaming hot breakfast made by my mother; when I was walking towards school with my schoolbag on my back; when my mother stuffed candy into my mouth, when I was playing with my friends... Suddenly, I found myself also surrounded by happiness!

Maybe some people think these are just ordinary daily trivialities, but at this moment, I really hope you know that your son is in this happiness because of you!

Dad, you must deeply love our great motherland, our great leader Chairman Mao, and the land that has nurtured us. Dad, I also love you deeply. My most respectable dad.

Thank you, dear father.

After reading, there was applause. Teacher Zhang patted He Lai on the shoulder.

"Thanks to He Lai for reading aloud. It's a very good essay. Let's learn from him."

Teacher Zhang continued.

“We can sit here and attend classes because there are so many warriors like Kakui’s father fighting on the front lines. Thank them for their dedication for our future…”

He Lai himself was also moved by what he said. I hope my father is safe!
