Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

He Lai chatted with Lou Bancheng for a while, then Lou Xiao'e came and knocked on the door.

"Dad, let's go downstairs for dinner."

"Okay, I understand." Lou Bancheng agreed, and Lou Xiao'e went down.

"Okay, Uncle Lou has said everything that needs to be said, let's go eat."

Lou Bancheng said.

"Row."

And so the two of them went downstairs.

This time He Daqing did not leave. He was stopped by He Lai and had a meal together. The meal was quite rich and had everything. It was probably brought by Lou Bancheng from Gangcheng.

He Lai and He Daqing did not stay in the Lou family for long. They left after dinner. Although the government's surveillance of the Lou family is not too strict now, it is better to have less contact with them.

When He Lai returned home, he found Director Wang from the Street Office waiting for him in the yard.

"Auntie Wang, what's wrong? What brings you here?" He Lai asked.

"Xiao Laizi, I heard that you came back from the Canton Fair. Aunt Wang came to see you."

Director Wang said with a smile.

"Auntie Wang, you are too polite. If you have something to say, just tell me. Why are you trying to be so polite to me?"

He Lai knew that Director Wang would never come to visit unless there was something important.

"Hey, Auntie said that the weather is getting cold, and there is a problem with our greenhouse. She wants you to come over and take a look."

Director Wang stated his purpose.

"What's the problem?" He Lai became interested when he heard it. Since it was built, He Lai had never taken care of this greenhouse. After all, it only needed to maintain the temperature.

"It's just that the temperature in this greenhouse is still a little low at night, and the vegetables in some places can't stand it, so I want you to see, what should I do?"

"Oh, I see. Aunt Wang, have you installed the radiator?"

He Lai asked.

"Ah? Yes, how could I forget about this?" Director Wang slapped his forehead and said.

"Haha, Aunt Wang, in winter, just a little sunshine is definitely not enough. We need to heat up, ventilate, and cover ourselves with quilts. Otherwise, it will be difficult to grow vegetables in winter."

He Lai explained.

"Okay, okay, Aunt Wang knows. Now I'll let my subordinates do it."

Director Wang got a satisfactory answer from He Lai and immediately went to order people to get to work.

Time flies, and more than a month has passed. After several training sessions in the mountains, the golden eagle's hunting skills and load-bearing capacity have been greatly improved. Now it can fly easily with prey weighing sixty to seventy kilograms.

On this day, He Lai communicated with the golden eagle in a friendly manner and decided to make a small hole in its wing, wrap it with cloth and pretend to be injured!

Although the golden eagle was not happy, he did not dare to resist He Lai's opinion and could only accept it.

In this way, the man and the eagle returned to the courtyard.

"Hey, He Lai, where did you get such a big eagle? You better be careful, it's very fierce."

Aunt Qian was shocked when she saw the golden eagle on He Lai’s bicycle.

"I found it when I went hunting. It got injured while trying to catch a roe deer. I treated it and brought it back. Look, the roe deer on the back seat was caught by it."

He Lai explained with a smile.

"Wow, this is incredible! This eagle can catch something this big!"

Aunt Qian exclaimed.

At this time, more and more people came to watch and look at the golden eagle.

The golden eagle seemed a little scared and hid in He Lai's arms, fearing that these two-legged beasts were as powerful as He Lai.

"Uh... I'll take it back first. This little guy is injured and probably a little scared."

He Lai felt the golden eagle trembling, so he walked through the crowd and went to the backyard.

Immediately, people in Courtyard 94 began to discuss.

"He Lai is really amazing. He can even catch such a big eagle!"

Resident A spoke up.

"How can it not be amazing? I heard that He Lai has excellent medical skills. This eagle was cured by He Lai. I guess it will listen to He Lai in the future."

Resident B continued.

"Nonsense, if you want an eagle to obey you, you have to keep it awake for a long time. You don't understand!"

Resident C also spoke.

"What's the eagle?"

"To outlive the eagle, it means that one person and one eagle must stare into each other's eyes and cannot leave each other's sight. You must outlive the eagle before the eagle recognizes you as your master. I heard it takes four or five days, and you can't sleep during that time!"

Resident C said.

"Bullshit! It's strange that a person can't stand not sleeping for four or five days. What nonsense!"

"That's right, that's right. I believe you can go without sleep for one or two days, but if you go without sleep for four or five days, you will become a god!"

"Okay, didn't you see that the eagle has already crawled into He Lai's arms? I guess it has already recognized He Lai as its master."

Resident Ding said.

"Yes, He Lai is really capable. The roe deer on your back seat must weigh at least 40 to 50 kilograms. That's all meat!"

"The roe deer was caught by the eagle. He said the eagle injured its wing when it caught the roe deer, so He Lai brought it back."

At this time, Aunt Qian spoke.

"Really? Is this eagle so powerful? It's impossible. It can catch a roe deer this big!"

Resident A exclaimed.

"What's so strange about this? Didn't you see the eagle's claws? They're so long. I think one claw can kill the roe deer! I heard that eagles are not afraid of wolves. It can easily take down a stupid roe deer!"

Resident C said.

"Hey, how come He Lai is so lucky! Everything good happens to him."

Resident B said.

"What's wrong? Are you jealous? Then go to the black market and buy a gun. Haven't you seen Widow Dong from our hospital go to Wild Duck Lake every weekend? She hasn't come back yet! I guess there are a few more wild ducks!"

Resident C said.

"Forget it. I asked about that gun, and it costs over a hundred yuan each! The bullets are more than two cents each, I can't afford it. I'd better just eat steamed bread!"

Resident B said.

Everyone was talking to each other, it was very lively.

He Lai returned home. Yu Shui had not returned to school yet and was chatting with Wu Juan on the sofa.

"Brother Lai, where did this eagle come from?" Yu Shui was stunned when she saw the eagle in He Lai's arms.

"Uh... I happened to see it when I came back from my grandfather's place. It was slightly injured, so I bandaged it and brought it back."

He Lai explained.

"Why save it? Why not just kill it and eat its meat? Xiao Laizi seems to be a carnivore. We can't keep it. It will easily lead to gossip."

Wu Juan reminded.

The golden eagle immediately refused to do so. When it heard Wu Juan say she wanted to eat it, it immediately struggled in He Lai's arms.

"Don't move, be obedient! Mom, you should go outside and see what it caught, and then decide whether to keep it or not!"

He Lai quickly comforted the golden eagle, and then spoke to Wu Juan.

"What? What's outside?" After hearing what He Lai said, Wu Juan walked out of the door and saw the silly roe deer on the bicycle. She said again: "Xiao Lai, don't tell me that this silly roe deer was caught by the eagle?"

"Mom, it was it that caught him. Didn't you see that it was injured from catching prey?"

He Lai took out the injured wing of the golden eagle and showed it to Wu Juan.

Wu Juan still didn't quite believe it: "Such a small eagle can catch such a big prey! How can I not believe it!"

"Mom, this eagle is not small. It is called a golden eagle, the largest species of eagle. I will spread its wings for you to see."

After He Lai finished speaking, he put the golden eagle on the table. Under the threatening look in He Lai's eyes, the eagle could only obediently let He Lai spread its wings.

"Alright, alright, I believe it. Oh my god, why does it feel bigger than me?"

Wu Juan was stunned. She didn't expect that the golden eagle could spread its wings so big!

At this time, Wu'er in his arms also woke up. When she saw the golden eagle, she immediately wanted to go over and play with it.

"Bird...bird..."

"Fuck you, don't even think about it." Wu Juan immediately held Wu'er's hand and said.

"Brother Lai, why do I feel like this eagle is very afraid of you?" Yu Shui asked, looking at the golden eagle beside He Lai.

"Maybe it was frightened by Brother Lai's domineering aura, haha..."

He Lai acted arrogant and laughed out loud.

"Can I touch its head? It's so pretty."

Rain asked.

"Okay, touch it, just don't touch its mouth." He Lai said casually, and warned the golden eagle with his eyes not to move.

Yu Shui carefully reached out his hand and stroked the golden eagle's little head.

"Come here, brother, its head is so smooth!" Yu Shui touched it a few times and then withdrew his hand, fearing that it would be pecked.

"All eagles are like this. You can feed it more often when you are at home."

He Lai said with a smile.

"Okay." Yushui replied happily. It was fun to have such an eagle.

"Brother! Brother!" Wu'er saw Wu Juan hugging her tightly and quickly called He Lai.

When He Lai heard Wu'er's cry, he could only take it from Wu Juan.

"Hey... this little girl, she only felt scared when she was scratched and hurt. Forget it, mother won't care anymore."

Wu Juan sighed, sat back on the sofa and said.

"Mom, there's a stupid roe deer outside. You can take it back and deal with it. It's probably been dead for a while."

He Lai said.

"Yes, yes, yes. I have to deal with this roe deer first. It won't be good if I wait too long. Yu Shui, come with me."

When Wu Juan heard this, she almost forgot about the silly roe deer and quickly called Yu Shui to go out with her.

After Wu Juan and Yu Shui left, Wu'er became bolder and directly directed He Lai to approach the golden eagle and hug it.

The golden eagle did not dare to resist its little master at all, for fear of hurting her and being abused by He Lai.

In this way, the golden eagle officially moved into He Lai's home.
