Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

He Daqing left before dawn, carrying a bag on his back.

Silly Qin Huairu watched in the room and did not go out.

Qin Huairu comforted Zhuzi, but Zhuzi didn't say anything, and the two of them just sat there.

At He Lai's home, Xiao Yu Shui woke up and started crying again. He Lai hugged her tightly, and Wu Juan also came in to coax her.

"Daddy doesn't want me anymore. Daddy doesn't want me anymore."

"It's okay, it's okay, don't cry, don't cry, Daddy doesn't abandon you, Daddy is going to work, don't adults have to work now?"

"Really?" "Of course."

"Then I want to find my dad."

"Okay, once Daddy is settled and the letter arrives, we'll go find Daddy, okay?"

"Okay, hook up."

"Okay, hook up."

"Please don't lie for a hundred years."

He Lai also joined in coaxing Xiao Yushui.

Xu Damao also came over and saw Yu Shui crying, so he wanted to join in comforting the child.

"Brother Damao, I won't go today. Please ask for leave from school for me. I want to accompany Yu Shui."

"Okay, I'll go first. I'll take the hooks and bait too."

"Yeah." "Brother Damao, be careful on the road."

Xiao Yushui held He Lai and waved to Xu Damao.

Wu Juan also came out from the kitchen and brought two bowls of egg custard.

He took Xiao Yushui from He Lai's arms.

"My poor daughter, let's go eat some egg custard. Mother will feed you."

He Lai, who was sitting opposite, deliberately said, "Oh, my life is so miserable. Why doesn't anyone feed me?"

"Eat it or not, if you don't want to eat it, go wash the dishes."

"Rainwater, give me a bite of my brother!"

Xiao Yushui took Wu Juan's soup spoon and fed He Lai a mouthful.

"It's so hot, so hot, Rainwater, you want to hurt me, brother? I'll show you my unique skill of tickling you!"

Rushing over, the two little ones started playing and fighting beside Wu Juan, who was very pleased.

Xiao Yushui also came out of his sadness.

The two little ones started their daily reading routine today.

"Rainwater, what's ten plus ten?"

"twenty."

"What's fifteen plus three?"

"eighteen."

"What is eleven plus seven?"

"eighteen."

……

Finished the math homework.

"Yushui, you are so good. You can do all my homework."

"Then let's sing!"

"it is good"

"Under the bridge in front of the door."

"The door goes under the bridge."

“A flock of ducks swam by.”

“A flock of ducks swam by.”

……

"A group of ducks swam past the bridge in front of the door. Come and count them. Two, four, six, seven, eight. Quack, quack, quack. There are so many of them. I can't count how many ducks there are. I can't count how many ducks there are~~~"

"The old man herding ducks, with a white beard, sings the opera from his hometown and tells jokes. Children, children, go to school quickly. Don't take a single test and bring home a single egg. Don't take a single test and bring home a single egg~~~"

Xiao Yushui was singing in Wu Juan's arms, and Wu Juan was rocking Xiao Yushui and praising her for her beautiful voice.

"Mom, let's go fishing by the river after dinner?" He Lai asked.

"Okay, but you have to protect me, Xiao Yushui. I can't swim."

"it is good."

So the three of them finished their meal, took their fishing gear, and set off on their bikes.

It has to be said that there were really a lot of people. He Lai and the other two walked forward and found the old man who gave them the bicycle in the distance.

He quickly took Xiao Yushui and his mother to say hello.

"Grandpa, long time no see. Hehe."

"Little Laizi, come here quickly. How come you have time to come fishing today? Is this your mother or your sister?"

"Yeah, my sister is cute, isn't she? Rainwater, come say hello!"

"Hello, grandpa."

"Oh, you're so good. Come into grandpa's arms." It's true that every little girl is the treasure of the older generation.

"Little comrade, you have taught your children very well. They are all very well behaved!"

"No, the child is used to being wild. Please bear with me, sir."

"Hey, Xiao Laizi is not bad. I like the old man very much."

"I like it, but you only give me rain candy and not me." He Lai said deliberately.

"Hey, little bastard. I haven't seen you for a few days. You've become a different person. Here." The old man cursed and laughed as he threw a few pieces of candy over.

Wu Juan didn't care anymore. It seemed that the old man was quite easy-going and was very familiar with his son.

"Grandpa, this won't work! There are no fish." He Lai looked at the bucket and saw only a few crucian carps.

"Don't make me angry. Believe it or not, I will throw you into the river." The old man was about to lose his temper.

"Hey, I originally wanted to tell you a secret recipe, but forget it, I'll just go fishing myself." He Lai pretended to be regretful.

"Come here, Xiao Laizi. Grandpa still has some pastries. Xiao Gao, help me get them." said the old man.

"Commander, that's for..." the guard wanted to say quickly.

"Just take it when I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

"Yes."

The old man took the cake and stuffed it into He Lai's hands. "You can tell me now!"

"Say yes, but don't tell anyone else."

"Row."

“You can’t be seen while fishing.”

"Row."

"Look here." He Lai opened a small bag and found 7 or 8 small loaches inside.

"It's just a few loaches!"

He Lai rolled his eyes, hung a loach on the hook and threw it towards the old man's lair.

"you!"

"Wait a moment, my nest has just been thrown down, let me rub it."

The old man was also helpless, so he decided to put away his fishing rod and give it a try.

"Would you like to make a bet, old man?"

"No gambling!"

"Is the old man scared?"

"I'm afraid of you. When I was on the battlefield, you were still flying in the sky! Tell me, what's the bet?"

"bet……"

Before He Lai could finish his words, the fishing float disappeared.

"Old man, hurry up!"

The old man quickly took the fishing rod and slid the fish in. Five minutes later, he caught a 7-pound black carp.

"Strange, strange. How do you know so many things?"

"That's because you don't even look at who gave birth to me."

Wu Juan slapped He Lai on the butt, making Xiao Yushui laugh.

"Master, are you convinced?"

"Come again, come again."

This time I hung one and threw it into the water.

"Xiao Gao, watch your surroundings and don't let anyone get too close."

"Yes!"

The old man also realized that this was a good thing.

Sure enough, after a while, the old man caught a fish. After pulling it for a while, it was a big black fish weighing about 10 kilograms.

"Amazing, really amazing!" He exclaimed as he looked at the fish in his hand.

He fished repeatedly like this until all 8 loaches were bitten to pieces. The old man was exhausted.

"Okay, the old man is satisfied. The fish is yours, sell it to me, it's more than 100 kilograms. I'll give you 40, and I'm leaving."

Xiao Gao immediately took out the money and gave it to He Lai.

"Um, um, is the old man's bet still valid?"

The old man was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

"Tell me, what do you want?"

"Well, I've always wanted your fishing rod. I wonder if it's okay? Hehe."

"You kid, you're robbing! Take it, take it, take it, take it."

"Thank you, old man. Take care. I'll see you off."

He Lai immediately bent down to see him off.

The old man was not polite either. He taught He Lai a lesson and walked away with his hands behind his back.

Wu Juan and Xiao Yushui watched this scene with smiles.

"Mom, the fishing rod is beautiful, isn't it?"

"Well, beautiful, give me the money."

"what money?"

"Ok!"

"Can you please leave me 10?"

Wu Juan snatched the money, took out ten thousand and threw it to He Lai.

"Come here, Yushui, this is the New Year's money your mother gave you!"

Wu Juan gave 10 yuan to Yu Shui with a smile.

"The money given during the Chinese New Year is considered lucky money."

"I'd like to call this New Year's money. Do you have any objection?"

"No, it's up to you."
