Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

On the way home from school, I saw a parade on the roadside. The eight big words on the banner, "Defend the Homeland, Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea," were deeply rooted in people's hearts, and more and more people joined the parade.

The crowd was so excited that I wanted to shout along, but the 9-year-old me could only salute the team.

As I watched the team gradually go away, the slogans kept echoing in my ears: "Down with American imperialism" and "Persist in the just war to resist US aggression and aid Korea"...

Is this the era now? Filled with the people's infinite love for the motherland, patriotic sentiment swept the whole city in an instant.

He Lai stared blankly, feeling deeply touched. The times are progressing, and the motherland has truly stood up from that moment on.

When he got home, He Lai lay quietly in the rocking chair, thinking about the parade, and fell asleep while thinking.

After killing an M country officer with a sniper rifle in the CX war, he found that the ground suddenly shook. He stood up all of a sudden and found a cute little Yu Shui. The M country soldier in the telescope was gone.

He Lai was embarrassed to find himself sitting in a rocking chair. Xiao Yushui was looking at He Lai with curiosity. Then it was time to tickle him. Their laughter did not attract Wu Juan.

He Lai looked inside and saw his mother sitting on the bed, staring at a photo in her hand in a daze.

Oh, I'm starting to worry again!

"Mom, it's okay, don't worry. No news is good news now, isn't it? Didn't the newspaper report that our army is winning victory after victory? Maybe Dad is celebrating too!"

"My little Laizi, my little Laizi, you are so good. I hope your father is okay. I have been wondering..." Wu Juan hugged He Lai and rocked him again and again.

Xiao Yu Shui also ran to Wu Juan and grabbed her arm. Wu Juan also pulled Xiao Yu Shui over, hugged them both in her arms and put her face against hers.

After a while, Liu Guangtian knocked on the gate.

"Aunt He, my dad asked me to notify you to go to the meeting at the Intermediate Court."

"Okay, I'll go right away. Thank you, Xiao Guangtian."

Liu Guangtian scratched his head and ran to the next house.

Soon, everyone in the backyard went to the middle yard. Soon, the middle yard was full of people.

"Okay, everyone, be quiet for a moment. Check if everyone is here. Look at each other."

Yi Zhonghai paused and looked at the crowd.

"Everyone is here. Director Wang has something to say to you today. Please applaud and welcome him!"

Director Wang pressed his hand and said, "The reason we called everyone here today is actually just two words: donate. As you all know, the country is fighting a war and is winning it."

Director Wang pointed to the banner behind him and continued, "Did you see it? Defend our country and resist the US and aid Korea. This is the instruction given to us by the great man. You should have also seen the parades on the streets and the factory loudspeakers shouting every day.

So I hope that those who have money can give money, those who have things can give things, and those who have strength can contribute their own strength to our new country. Of course, if you want to join the army, you can rely on me. I am here to thank everyone. "

After saying that, Director Wang took the lead and led the young clerks behind him to bow.

Yi Zhonghai took the lead, "As the administrator and mediator of our hospital, I will take the lead and donate 100 million!"

After saying that, he took out the prepared money from his pocket and put it into the donation box. Director Wang led the applause.

Wu Juan turned around and went back to the backyard. Liu Haizhong and Xu Fugui followed suit and donated money. Everyone started donating money. He Daqing also led Xiao Yushui to donate 80 yuan. Even Jia Zhang took out 10 yuan under the pressure of Jia Dongxu.

Wu Juan also came back and took out the money from the embroidered handkerchief. Without counting it, she threw it all into the donation box. There was at least 200 million yuan.

Director Wang stopped Wu Juan who wanted to leave and said to everyone, "As the only family member of a soldier in our compound, Wu Juan has set a good example for us. Let's applaud her!"

Everyone applauded Wu Juan enthusiastically. Wu Juan bowed and slowly walked back to the crowd. He Lai took his mother's hand and smiled and gave her a thumbs-up.

Wu Juan also touched He Lai's head with red eyes, and was glad that her son did not blame her for donating so much money.

Finally, Director Wang spoke a lot to everyone and then left for the next yard.

Wu Juan brought He Lai back and walked into the house and said to He Lai, "Son, your mother has no money and is poor. I guess she can't even afford to buy food. The family may have to beg for food. Don't worry, when the time comes, I won't let you go."

He Lai watched his mother's performance, rolled his eyes and said nothing. No one would believe that you have no money.

He Lai also knew that his mother was planning to take his own money. He quietly returned to his room and took out all his money, leaving only 10.

Wu Juan was immediately happy when she got the money. She hugged her son and said repeatedly, "My good son, my good son."

At this time, Xiao Yushui also came over. Wu Juan immediately put away the money and went to cook.

"Sister Yushui, your brother has become a pauper. Will you really not consider giving some of his wealth to your brother?" He Lai hugged little Yushui and pretended to cry.

"My father has saved all my money. He said that children should not keep money properly, as it would be bad if it was stolen." Xiao Yushui said shyly.

Bah, so shameless! The adults are so cunning!

"Oh..." He sighed and lay down in the rocking chair, missing the money he had lost these days.

Xiao Yushui saw that her brother was sad and didn't know what to do, so she ran to Wu Juan for help.

Upon hearing this, Wu Juan smiled and said to Xiao Yushui, "It's okay. Your brother is just pretending to come here to help your mother make a fire." Upon hearing this, Xiao Yushui immediately smiled and ignored He's coming.

Hey, this girl, she is still helping others count the money after selling the goods.

"Looking at the sword while drunk, I dreamed of blowing the corner of the company."

He Lai waved his hands and spread his wings into the sky.

After a while, I went to school while eating steamed buns and singing songs. When I passed the school gate, I found my essay written on the blackboard. I sighed helplessly, fortunately, not many people knew me. It would be fine if no one knew me.

Lying on the table and reading Russian books has become He Lai's habit.

Li Jianguo looked puzzled. How could this guy become the top student in the class when he was slacking off all day, either sleeping or holding his Russian books, and never actively listening to the lectures?

Teacher, I want to report He Lai for stealing the answers to the test paper! What didn’t he steal? I don’t believe it. Let him do one on the spot. Let him do it. I don’t want to see him lying down. This will affect my study.

Classmate, his grades are much better than yours, you should not disturb his studies. I don't believe he stole the answers.

Li Jianguo has been having the same dream recently. I really want to change my deskmate. Teacher, I can’t hold on any longer. My teacher, he really affects my study!
