Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

Soon a group of steel mill workers sat in the cafeteria and started eating seafood.

"Chief He, you are really amazing. No wonder everyone envies you!"

After swallowing a mouthful of lobster meat, Worker A gave a thumbs up and praised Congratulations.

"Well, this is a reward from the factory because I repaired a machine for them! You may not know this, but the coastal cities here all rely on fishing for a living. There is so much seafood that you can easily catch a lot of it by just going out to sea. I heard that they can't afford to eat, so they rely on seafood to survive."

He Lai started talking nonsense.

"Really? Eating seafood every day would be so wonderful! Oh, it's a pity that my mother didn't marry someone from the seaside, otherwise I could eat seafood every day. When I think about eating steamed bread when I go back, I want to stay here."

Worker B sighed. Many workers also started to make fun of him when they heard this.

"Ahem, you believe this nonsense. Can't you see? Section Chief He is teasing you. Isn't Jinshi next to us a coastal city? We eat seafood every day. If you go there now, you can eat a few small crabs, which is good enough."

Worker C spoke up.

"Haha, don't mind it, don't mind it, I'm just joking. But people living by the sea can still eat seafood here. After all, the seaport of Jinshi over there is small, while the area here is large.

Everyone, just listen to it for fun, have fun, have fun. Of course, if any of you want to settle down by the sea, don’t blame me if you suffer. "

He Lai explained with a smile.

Everyone burst into laughter. In fact, as soon as they mentioned Tsu City, they knew that life in a coastal city was actually hard.

Soon, the pile of seafood was eaten by everyone. Everyone was so full that even the little girl Ke'er couldn't stand up after eating so much.

……

The next day, He Lai went out to buy things with Zhang Zhiwen and others. After all, he had promised Sha Zhu, Xu Damao and others to help buy durians, so he had no choice but to bring three for each of them. In addition, he bought a set of thicker clothes for Ke'er and Ye Jun, after all, it was still a bit cold in the city.

Ye Jun was taken out of the hospital in the afternoon. Ye Jun's injuries had recovered well, except that he still had a little pain in his chest. He would be fine as long as he didn't do strenuous exercise.

Zhang Zhiwen has already helped the brother and sister to complete the procedures for going to Sijiu City, and they can just settle down there directly when the time comes.

After He Lai arranged everything, he returned to his room. However, before he even had time to lie down and rest for a while, Director Jiang and his men hurried over.

"Xiao Laizi, you little brat, you're leaving soon, but you didn't even come and sit with me!" Director Jiang complained in pretended anger.

"Uh... Aunt Jiang, I'm so sorry. I forgot about this when I was so busy. I'm really sorry!"

He Lai explained with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Okay, okay, it would be the same if I came here by myself. Look, these things are for you to help bring to the old leader, and this pile is for you."

Aunt Jiang pointed to two large piles of items on the ground and said.

"Okay, thank you Aunt Jiang, I will definitely bring it there safely." He Lai quickly agreed.

"Xiao Laizi, I heard that you are planning to take your two children back to Sijiu City. Is that true?" Director Jiang asked with concern.

"Yes, that's true. They have no relatives here to rely on, and they are so young that they need someone to take care of them. I have some affinity with that little girl, so I decided to take them back to Forty-Nine City."

He Lai admitted the matter frankly, it was not a big deal anyway.

"Okay, just make your decision. Treat them well. Children without parents are pitiful."

Director Jiang said, looking at He Lai with eyes full of trust and appreciation.

He Lai nodded and said firmly: "Don't worry, they will be my brothers and sisters from now on. I will treat them well. I promise the leader!" He stood up and patted his chest.

"I didn't say I don't trust you. Okay, Aunt Jiang won't bother you anymore. You have to catch a train early tomorrow morning. Come earlier next time during the Canton Fair. I'm leaving now."

Director Jiang said this and stood up to leave.

"Aunt Jiang, take care." After He Lai sent Director Jiang out the door, he turned back to his room to pack his luggage.

He packed the things for the old leader first, and then put the things that Director Jiang gave him aside. Looking at the pile of things in front of him, He Lai felt bitter. It seemed a bit overweight! Damn it, I should have known not to help bring the durian.

Late in the night of the next day, at three in the morning, everyone was ready to set off for the train station.

Except for Ye Jun who was injured and couldn't carry anything, everyone was carrying a lot of things, even Xiao Ke'er was carrying a small cloth bag.

After getting on the bus, the two kids were in the same compartment with He Lai. Ke Er was leaning on the window and looking out! He Lai asked Ye Jun to lie on the bed and rest.

"Ke'er, stop looking. The train is about to start moving. Be careful not to be thrown out."

He Lai threatened Ke'er.

"I got it. Come here, brother." Upon hearing this, Ke'er immediately came to He Lai obediently.

"Come on, brother, this train is so long."

"Grown up, do you want me to take you for a walk?" He Lai said with a smile.

"Okay, okay." Ke'er clapped her hands happily.

"Just lie down for a while now. When you wake up, I'll take you to see it, okay?"

"it is good."

……

Taking the train is a really long journey. Fortunately, Zhang Zhiwen and others come over from time to time to play cards with us, so we can pass the boring time.

After three days and two nights, we finally arrived at the station. This time we were not late and arrived before four in the afternoon!

He Lai took his things and took the two kids off the train.

It was discovered that only He Zhan and Mr. Zhou's guards were in the train station.

"Dad." He Lai shouted.

He Zhan heard the voice, immediately spotted him, and walked towards him.

"Xiao Laizi, why are there so many things? Who are these two kids?"

He Zhan looked at what was in He Lai's hand and the two little kids beside him.

"Call uncle." He Lai put down his things and let the two kids call for help.

"Hello, uncle." After calling out, Ke'er hid behind He Lai. Ye Jun also called out timidly.

"Hello, hello, you are so cute." He Zhan touched Ye Jun's head and said with a smile.

"Dad, why don't my mom and the others come?" He Lai found that only He Zhan came this time.

"Hey, Wu'er and Wen'er are grown up now, your mother is worried about leaving them with others, and Yu Shui has to go to school, so she didn't come."

He Zhan explained.

"Okay, then you take my stuff back. I'm taking Grandpa Zhou's car, I have to go to his place. These six durians are for Brother Zhuzi and Brother Damao, remember to give them to them."

He Lai handed the thing in his hand to He Zhan and gave him some instructions.

"Okay, then remember to come back early. Your mother has made a lot of delicious food for you."

He Zhan picked up the package and said.

"Got it." He Lai replied.

After He Zhan left, He Lai took the two kids into Mr. Zhou's car.

As for Liang Ladi and Ding Qiunan, Liang Ladi's children didn't come, so Nan Yi was waiting at the station with Ding Qiunan's parents. Maybe Nan Yi finally got it or something, he actually got involved with Ding Qiunan's parents and they had a pretty good chat!
