Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

"Then Sister Liang, I'll leave first. I'll go back after a walk."

He Lai stood up and prepared to say goodbye, he hadn't even gone to see Ding Qiunan yet!

"Okay, then take care." Liang Ladi didn't keep He Lai. She was very confused now. She was afraid that He Lai would make some requests. Should she agree to it? Or should she agree to it?

If He Lai knew Liang Ladi's thoughts, he probably wouldn't send her the gifts.

He Lai walked around the machine repair factory and found that Ding Qiunan was not in the infirmary! After asking, he found out that this person was not there. Maybe he had not entered the machine repair factory yet.

The enthusiasm is a little less now, but it is still satisfying to see Liang Ladi. This strong widow did everything she should do, but unfortunately fate was unfair and she eventually got cancer and died!

It was almost afternoon when He Lai returned to the steel mill.

"He Lai, can you please stop asking for leave so often and help us train new employees? If you continue like this, I will ask Section Chief Ge to let you go back."

Shen Dandan slapped the training materials on He Lai's desk and expressed her dissatisfaction with He Lai's absence in the past few days.

"Sister Dandan, don't be angry. I asked for leave because I had something to do these few days. I have a bag of blueberries for you to eat. Those who are capable should do more work. Please work hard."

He Lai took out a bag of blueberries from his all-purpose cloth bag and handed it to Shen Dandan, saying in a flattering manner.

"Then you can't take leave every day."

When Shen Dandan saw Blueberry, her tone softened.

"Okay, okay, I'll definitely be at the factory tomorrow, okay?"

"That's pretty much it."

When Shen Dandan heard He say that she would not take leave, she took her things and returned to her seat.

"I asked you to take leave every day, and people must have told you off," Zhang Zhiwen said with a smile.

"I just went to the machine repair shop to help out, but I didn't slack off."

"Okay, okay, help me, I know everything!"

Zhang Zhiwen had already known from others what He Lai was doing today, which was to help two relatives with their job applications.

"Brother Zhiwen, I think you should take over your father's job and become a police officer."

"Stop it, I don't want to be a police officer! Haven't you seen how my father is always away from home and how my mother takes it out on me all the time!"

"Brother Zhiwen, have you forgotten that my father is also in the security department and is also not at home very often. But I don't live with my mother now."

He Lai smiled and said, being a policeman these days is really not a good thing, the work intensity is too high!

"Hey, you're the best. It's almost impossible for me to move out before I get married."

Zhang Zhiwen can only look forward to getting married soon.

"Alright, you two are going too far! Can you please understand the suffering of the lower-class people and stop showing off your superiority?"

Liu Mu really envied He Lai and Zhang Zhiwen because they didn't have to worry about the trivialities of life at all.

"Brother Liu, I'll treat you to fish tomorrow so you don't have to complain about being poor every day."

He Lai said with a smile.

"This is fine, this is fine, I haven't eaten fish for a long time."

A few of them chatted casually like this and soon got off work.

……

He Lai called Sha Zhu and went to the machine repair shop to pick up people, and brought back Da Wa and Xiao Cao.

The He family's table was soon filled with people. There was not enough space for more than a dozen people, so they had to eat in the yard.

"Brother Dahu, remember to tell us if there's not enough food. Don't force yourself to eat." He Lai warned him. After all, Dahu's wife and children all had rural household registration and there was no ration.

"Well, Xiao Laizi, I know." Da Hu said with a smile. Although he is a little short of food now, with the help of Yi Zhonghai's family and Wu Juan's family, the problem is not big.

"Brother Da Wa, Sister Xiao Cao, if you get bullied in the machine repair shop, remember to tell me and I will vent your anger for you."

"Okay, thank you, Xiao Laizi."

Both of them were very grateful to Xiao Laizi for arranging their work well.

"Brother Sheng, just come with me to the steel mill to report for duty tomorrow."

"Okay." Wu Sheng said with a smile.

"Well, Xiao Laizi, leave Sheng'er to daddy, don't worry about it, I'll take him to report."

He Zhan has spoken, and he has to show off in front of his father-in-law, otherwise Mr. Wu will not be kind to him at all, and he even ignored him when he toasted him just now.

"Uh...Okay, then Brother Sheng, you can go with my dad." Seeing that his father had spoken, He Lai had to agree.

"Okay, thank you uncle then." Wu Sheng didn't know why, but he just followed him.

"Don't be polite with your uncle, just eat your food." He Zhan was very satisfied that He Lai had no objection, and said with a pleased smile.

Old Master Wu watched the conversation between the three people and drank his wine alone without saying a word. He still had a lot of resentment towards his son-in-law.

Fortunately, the He family has many houses, so they can still sleep together if they squeeze together, otherwise they would really have to sleep on the floor.

The next day, as soon as He Lai arrived at the steel rolling mill, Shen Dandan drafted him in to serve as a soldier and put him in charge of providing basic training to new employees.

He Lai spoke a lot at the podium and demonstrated various operations to them so that they could have a certain understanding of each type of work.

The next day, as soon as He Lai arrived at the steel rolling mill, Shen Dandan drafted him in to serve as a soldier and put him in charge of providing basic training to new employees.

He Lai was responsible for giving the lecture today. Standing on the podium, he explained the basic situation of the factory, rules and regulations, safety precautions, etc.

Then, He Lai introduced the characteristics and requirements of each type of work in detail, and personally demonstrated various operating procedures to them.

While operating the machines, the technicians patiently explained the meaning and techniques of each step.

The new employees gathered around He Lai and his team, watching their actions intently, and occasionally asked questions and raised doubts, to which He Lai and his team answered them one by one.

The morning passed quickly, and He Lai finally finished today's training task. He has been responsible for employee training every day these days, which is indeed very busy. He Lai finally understood why Shen Dandan lost her temper.

In the cafeteria, He Lai invited Liu Mu, Zhang Zhiwen and Shen Dandan to eat together.

After all, I asked Shazhu to prepare an extra meal today, including meat and fish, to reward them.

"You have a conscience and you still remember to treat us to a meal! Come on, I already know that you have been confirmed to be the head of the third technical section. The first section is Engineer Chen, and the second section is Engineer Yuan. Section Chief Ge will become Director Ge."

Zhang Zhiwen said with a smile.

"What? Can't I be one? I'm still young."

"Don't be a fart. Brother Liu is the deputy section chief. Our place will be very lively by then. There will be many people coming."

"Really? I'm now the deputy section chief! It's great to have you, Zhang Zhiwen! Now I don't have to worry about running out of food!"

When Liu Mu heard the news, he immediately became happy. This should be enough for his salary! Even if it was not fixed, he could afford it.

"Yes, it's great to have a Women's Federation director as a backer. I'm so envious."

He Lai also sighed.

The position of a Women's Federation director is quite high, a proper director level position, second only to a few deputy factory directors. She has to attend almost all the factory leaders' meetings.

"What? Are you jealous?" Zhang Zhiwen said with a smile.

"I'm so jealous. When will you take me to meet him?"

"You can go anytime. How about going now?"

"I'm not going!"

"Coward."

"I'll tell Sister Song Xue that you scolded me!"

"Go ahead, Song Xue is eager for me to scold you. She scolds you every time I mention you!"

"Uh...Sister Dandan, why are you just eating and not talking?" He Lai quickly diverted attention.

"Isn't it okay for me to just listen? It has nothing to do with me!" Shen Dandan was listening with great interest, but was suddenly a little confused by what He said.

"Brother Zhiwen, did Sister Dandan get a promotion?"

"Sister Dandan shouldn't have one. Currently, there is only one deputy section chief. But didn't Sister Dandan pass the last technical assessment? She is now a level 12 technician."

"Really? Why didn't you take me with you during the assessment?"

"Why should I take you with me? Do you still want to take the exam to become an eighth-level engineer?"

"Hey, I want to take the test, isn't it easy?"

He Lai put down his chopsticks and said proudly.

"Hey, I'm not exaggerating. Our teacher used to test him all the time, but this kid just refused to take the test, which made our teacher very angry."

Zhang Zhiwen echoed.

"I think this guy is the same. He repairs the machine as if it's his game. Now when the workers see that he is not the one repairing the machine, their attitude immediately changes 360 degrees. It's like He Lai is the only one who can repair the machine in the steel mill!"

Liu Mu continued.

"Okay, okay. Are you going to eat the food or not? Don't waste it. I'm full. You guys can chat slowly. I'm going to sleep first." He Lai didn't want to listen anymore. If he continued, he would become the target of everyone's criticism again.
