Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

Because of this old ox, Xiaohu also became a breeder in the village, taking care of the cows together with an old breeder in the village.

The breeders are among the best in the village and have a very high status. After all, only by raising good cattle can one do farm work better.

This made Xiaohu's parents very satisfied. Originally, they had some complaints because He Lai introduced all the children of the He family to work in the city, leaving Xiaohu alone in the countryside. But now they no longer have any complaints because they have also seen the things that He Lai gave to Xiaohu, including milk powder, milk candy, cloth, etc., which are all good things.

Naturally, I knew that it was not that He Lai didn't want Xiaohu to go to the city, but that the family really needed a child to stay in the countryside as a root.

The next day, Xiaohu's wedding went smoothly, and the families had a happy meal together.

After the excitement, He Lai and He Zhan returned to the city to prepare for tomorrow's race around the city, while Wu Juan stayed in the countryside for a while.

Originally, He Zhan was planning to run back to Sijiu City for exercise, but unfortunately He Lai ignored him and got on the bus with the golden eagle.

You're crazy! Didn't you see the two big eagles in my arms? You're running back. I won't even walk back.

……

"Brother Lai, the golden eagle is really back." Yu Shui excitedly hugged the male eagle and said with a smile, regardless of the golden eagle's objection.

"Yeah, it's fun to see one turn into two. I'll leave it to you to feed from now on."

He Lai said with a smile.

"Okay, I just cooked some spore meat." Yu Shui carried the male eagle into the kitchen.

The female eagle immediately refused to accept it. She had tolerated the male, but how could the female take her husband away? She began to cry restlessly.

Unfortunately, she was suppressed by He Lai within a few seconds of resistance. After serious warnings (several knocks on the forehead and neck), the female eagle finally obeyed.

The male eagle obviously enjoyed the taste of the cooked food, and became more and more submissive to its mistress, Yu Shui. Although the female eagle was still a little reluctant, she soon succumbed to the roe deer meat.

On the third day of the New Year, it was still snowing heavily from the sky, and there was a little snow on the ground. It seemed that it snowed a lot last night!

This added a layer of gloom to the city race. After all, many accidents could happen when running in the snow.

Once snow falls on the road that was originally swept clean, the road surface becomes slippery. Those who run fast have to be careful. If they fall, it will be no joke!

If you fall down in the middle of winter, you might break your leg if you’re not careful!

The city's street sweepers are now very busy, and all of them are concentrated on the runway, coming out to sweep the road every ten minutes to ensure that the road surface will not be frozen!

"Xiao Laizi, get up quickly." He Zhan came over and knocked on the door.

"Here we go, Dad. It's snowing so heavily. Should we postpone the competition to another day?"

He Lai tightened his clothes, opened the door and said.

"What are you thinking! Unless it rains cannonballs from the sky, then the knife-throwing will have to proceed normally."

He Lai pulled He Lai over and walked out.

"Hey, Dad, the umbrella, I haven't taken the umbrella yet!"

"No need, Dad will take you there on his bike! Just hold the umbrella for Dad."

"Uh... that's it... I have to pee!"

"You are the only one who has many things to do!"

"Dad, call me Brother Damao!"

"Da Mao has been ready for a long time, unlike you who are so lazy!"

"Uh…"

……

When He Lai and the other two arrived at the Red Star Steel Mill, the mill was already distributing number plates.

In this era, there are still some rules for number plates. Secretary Feng specifically asked about it and was told that the departure order is arranged according to the size of the numbers, that is, people with earlier numbers stand in the front row, and people with later numbers stand in the back row.

When these thousands of people run together, there is still some difference in their positions.

Therefore, Secretary Feng specially asked people to wait at the East Chang'an Street Gymnasium overnight and wait for registration, so that the workers of the steel rolling mill could get a front number.

Of course, there were insider information. Those who had obtained good rankings in schools such as the Mining College and the Sports College were given numbers from one to ten and sat in the first row.

Secretary Feng began his speech: "Okay, everyone is here. Let me say a few words. Although it is snowing heavily, I hope that our comrades can overcome difficulties, forge ahead courageously, implement the slogan of 'exercise for the revolution', and achieve good results in this 49-city race!"

"good!"……

Everyone applauded.

"Okay, okay, I won't waste any more time. All the participants should get on the truck first. Change your clothes and pants on the truck, and remember your numbers. Those who are cheering, please gather over there. Section Chief Feng will take you there in a moment."

Secretary Feng gave the order and everyone had to get on the truck.

Fifty people were divided into two groups and got on two trucks. After counting the number of people, they set off towards Tiananmen Square.

He Lai looked at the red sportswear, white gloves and two white number plates with black letters (sticked on the front and back) in his hands, and he felt quite touched. The number plates felt so big, they were twice as big as those in later generations!

He Lai's number plate is sixty-six, which is considered a very early number.

The five big words "Red Star Steel Rolling Mill" are printed on the red sportswear.

"Xiao Laizi, let me help you sew the number plate first." Xu Damao took the needle and thread and took He Lai's sportswear.

"Thank you, Brother Damao." He Lai was not polite to Xu Damao.

"Hey, it's just a piece of cake." Xu Damao said and started sewing.

It's actually very simple. Just stick it in, wrap it around a few times and tie a knot.

Soon everyone changed their clothes and pants.

When we arrived at Tiananmen Square, quite a few people had already gathered there.

They are all in groups, and many people are already doing warm-up training.

Several people have already arrived under the sign of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. They are all responsible for the preparatory work, which is actually preparing some food.

He Lai ran over, picked up a bowl of soy milk and a few bean buns and started eating.

He Zhan and Xu Damao were speechless. Only He Lai was carefree and not nervous at all. He was still thinking about eating. They were all worried whether they could outrun these people.

There were so many people packed together, filling the entire place. There were probably about four or five thousand people.

"Dad, Brother Damao, eat first, and then warm up after eating! It's still early!"

He Lai handed over two bean buns and said.

"Xiao Laizi, please eat. I've eaten at home." Xu Damao has already started warming up.

When He Lai heard Xu Damao say this, he turned to He Zhan and said, "Dad, you definitely didn't eat! You're warming up while eating, don't mind this little time."

Upon hearing this, He Zhan also took the bean bun and started eating it, but he did not interrupt his warm-up.

It’s true, it’s only because Tiananmen Square is big enough, otherwise so many people wouldn’t be able to fit in.

After all, there are not only athletes here, but also people sent by factories, schools and streets to cheer.

Of course there are the medical teams, security teams, organizers, sponsors, and finally the general public.

The sponsors of this race are all newspapers, such as People's Daily, Guangming Daily, Workers' Daily, Youth Daily, Sijiucheng Daily, etc.

Many reporters have now begun interviewing people from the Sijiucheng Mining College!

After all, they are the favorites to win the championship. Although there is no extra reward for the first place, everyone wants to get this honor!

After all, except for the first session where the champion was not won by someone from the Sijiucheng Mining College, all the other championships were won by them, and they often took the top few places.

Of course, the people from the Sijiucheng Sports College have also been very capable recently.

Now every newspaper wants to get first-hand information about the champion and publish it as soon as possible, so there are a lot of people interviewing them.
