Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

"Sister Jingru, I noticed that you are becoming less and less talkative now!"

He Lai looked at Qin Jingru's little face and said.

Qin Jingru in the original drama loves to show off, she's talkative, and she shines brightly with a little sunshine.

Qin Jingru gave He Lai a blank look, turned her head away and did not answer He Lai.

"Hey, Xier, your aunt dares to scold me and not talk to me, what do you say?" He Lai said.

"Aunt, are you mute?" Xier asked.

"Xi'er, come here, who told you to talk nonsense!" Qin Huairu immediately frowned when she heard it.

Upon hearing this, Xier immediately moved closer to He Lai.

"It's okay, it's okay, Xier, you should say this, Auntie, why don't you say anything? Come on, uncle is talking to you! It's impolite to do this!"

He Lai smiled and protected Xier and said.

Xier immediately understood and learned it.

Unfortunately, Qin Jingru didn't give face and ignored it.

"Sister-in-law, it must be you who taught me, right?" He Lai said to Qin Huairu.

"Xiao Laizi, don't talk nonsense. I don't have the time to teach Jingru. I'm busy all day long."

Qin Huairu said with a smile.

He Lai didn't believe it. Qin Jingru, a rookie, was not as smart as Qin Huairu. Qin Huairu must have said something to her.

"Xi'er, here's a piece of chocolate for you. Uncle Lai took great pains to get it from foreigners. It's delicious."

He Lai took out a piece of chocolate and gave it to Xier.

"Thank you, Uncle Lai." Xier happily took the chocolate, then opened the package, took a bite, and her eyes lit up instantly.

"Come on, uncle, it's delicious." Xier said happily.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, this is not made of sugar, Xier can eat it."

He Lai spoke before Qin Huairu could say anything.

Qin Huairu was choked when she saw that He Lai had interrupted her words.

"Uncle, uncle, I want it." Meng'er saw it and naturally wanted to eat it too. She broke away from Qin Jingru and ran towards He Lai with her little legs.

"Okay, I'll give you one too." He Lai took out another piece and gave it to Meng'er, and helped her open it.

The unique rich aroma of chocolate spread immediately, making Qin Jingru so greedy that she almost drooled.

"Hey, sister Jingru, do you want to eat it?" He Lai also opened a piece himself and tempted Qin Jingru.

Qin Jingru nodded immediately.

"If you want to eat, nodding is not enough! Um... Hey, Meng'er, you're done. Stop eating. Keep it for your mother."

He Lai was speaking when he saw Meng'er stuffing the chocolate into her mouth. He panicked and quickly took the chocolate and gave it to Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu took the chocolate and smelled it. It was indeed fragrant! If she hadn't been afraid that He Lai would laugh at her, she would have wanted to take a bite right away. In the end, she closed the wrapper and put it in her pocket.

"Come on, brother, give me one piece too." Qin Jingru finally couldn't help but speak.

"No more, there are only three pieces in total. I've already taken a bite of this one. Do you want some?"

He Lai smiled and handed over the chocolate with a bite taken out of it.

Qin Jingru took it happily and didn't mind He Lai taking a bite. After all, people in that era didn't have to be so particular.

……

Not long after, Sha Zhu finished making the fish head and tofu soup, but he also put the silver carp meat in it, making it a whole big pot!

He Lai kept half and left with the pot.

"Mom, the fish is ready, come out and eat." He Lai shouted.

"Coming, coming." Wu Juan walked out of the room with a smile.

"Uh, mom, why are you dressed like this?" He Lai was a little stunned. Why was Wu Juan wearing a flowery dress?

"What's wrong? It's really nice. Your father bought it for me at the state-owned store."

Wu Juan straightened her clothes and said with a smile.

He Lai looked at He Zhan who was sitting next to him and smoking, and felt mixed emotions. This old man and his mother had really unique tastes.

"Mom, how can Dad smoke in the house? Don't you care?" He said.

"Why do you care? What's wrong with your dad smoking a cigarette? The door is open. They will be gone soon. I'll go get some steamed buns and we'll eat."

After Wu Juan finished speaking, she turned and went to the kitchen, but her eyes and hands were focused on the clothes.

He Zhan looked at the situation in front of him and smiled slightly. It turned out that buying a gift could win over his wife! It seems that he will have to go to the state-owned store more often in the future.

During the meal, Wu Juan kept picking up fish for He Zhan, which stunned He Lai.

I thought to myself: It's just a flowery dress! What's the big deal? I'll buy you ten next time!

"I'm full, I'm leaving." He said and stood up.

But Wu Juan didn't react at all and was still staring at He Zhan and smiling.

"Mom, I'm leaving." He Lai said loudly again beside Wu Juan.

"Mom heard it, and I'm not deaf! Let's go, let's go." Wu Juan glared at He Lai and pushed He Lai.

He Lai was stunned. Is this still the mother he depended on for everything? She became like this just because of a flowery dress! He also bought her a radio, a sewing machine and many other good things!

He Lai could only return to his room dejectedly, close the door and feel sad alone.

……

The next day, Wu Juan didn't even bring him breakfast, nor did she ask him to go to work. Alas.

He Lai had no choice but to go to the snack stand alone and order a large table of food.

Fried dough cakes, dough sticks, fried cakes, buns, wontons, fried dough rings, tofu pudding... we have everything!

I was eating there leisurely by myself. Anyway, the steel mill didn't dare to call my name, so I just accepted being late.

"Come here uncle!" A shout came from behind.

He Lai looked back and saw Xiao Yangzi and Bang Geng going to school.

"You two, have you had breakfast?" He Lai called them over and said.

"Come on uncle, I'm not full." Xiao Yangzi said with a smile.

"Okay then, these things belong to both of you. Only when you are full can you study well, right?"

He said, and gave them the things in front of them.

"Thank you, uncle!" Xiao Yangzi immediately sat down happily and started eating.

I am a little bit reserved and don't dare to eat it.

"Eat the stalks, eat them, come here, uncle is not a stranger. Little guy, you are still embarrassed!"

He Lai touched Bang Geng's head and pulled him to the chair.

"Thank you, uncle." After saying this, Banggeng also started to eat the fried dough sticks.

He Lai went to the boss, made them two more bowls of soy milk, paid the bill and left.

……

He came to the steel rolling mill and started designing forklifts again.

After a morning of work, I finally got everything basically done.

So he took the drawings to the technical department and called Liu Mu and Shen Dandan over.

"Here, this is something I designed. I call it a forklift. Take it back and study it carefully with others. Come up with the parameters and materials. Let's try to make this thing."

He Lai divided the design drawings into two parts and gave them.

"He Lai, what is this thing used for? Is this a car? Why does it look so weird?" Liu Mu asked in confusion, looking at the drawing.

"This is used for loading and unloading heavy cargo. Take it back and study it. After you've read it, you'll naturally know what it's used for."

He Lai smiled.

Liu Mu and the other person nodded and took the drawings back to the technical department.
