Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

When I got home, I found that He Daqing and He Zhan were already drinking here, and they were drinking the Maotai liquor that He Lai brought!

"Dad, Uncle He, why are you two drinking here? Where are my mom and Yu Shui?"

He Lai smiled bitterly.

"Hey, who told you not to come back? I prepared the food, but you didn't come back, so I just had a drink with your dad."

He Daqing said with a smile.

"Yushui and your mother are next door. Your uncle He and I will have a drink. Don't worry, we won't get drunk. Have you eaten?"

He Zhan asked.

"Uh...no, we've chatted too much. Then you guys drink. I'm going to go next door to see mom and Yu Shui."

After He finished speaking, he put down the cloth bag and went to the next room. There was no telling how long these two drunkards would stop drinking.

"See? Your brat really doesn't drink at all. He didn't even offer a toast to us when he saw us drinking."

He Daqing drank the wine in the small glass and said.

"Yes, my son is amazing. He doesn't drink alcohol but he knows how to make wine! Don't mention this deer antler wine. The effect after drinking it is really good!"

He Zhan also sighed, and felt secretly proud when he thought of yesterday's glory.

"I heard from my Yu Shui that your little Laizi is following an old Chinese doctor, the same one who cured Yi Zhonghai of his family's extinction disease. His medical skills are amazing! That's why I came here today to ask for that wine."

He Daqing said.

"He has suffered so much. He has to learn this and that at such a young age. He has done all the things a father should do!"

He Zhan whispered.

"Who said it wasn't true? Fortunately, I have your son, otherwise my He family would be in trouble."

He Daqing also sighed.

"No more talking, no more talking, drink, drink, it's my son's wine, it would be a waste if you don't drink it!"

He Zhan raised his glass and clinked it with He Daqing.

"Yes, drink! Anyway, this brat has plenty of wine!"

He Daqing also drank it all in one gulp.

……

"Mom, Dad and Uncle He are drinking at my place, and you don't care?"

He Lai sat at the dinner table and asked while eating.

"Why would you care? Just drink it. What's wrong with your dad drinking a bottle of your wine? Are you sad? Do you want mom to give you the money for the wine?"

Wu Juan glared at He Lai and said.

"Uh..." He Lai didn't react for a moment. Is this still his mother? Then he turned to look at Yu Shui.

"Uncle He gave Mom a bottle of pearl cream today, and she is very happy." Yu Shui whispered in He Lai's ear.

"Oh...I see!" He Lai suddenly realized that his mother had been defeated by his father's sugar-coated bullets. This explained it all.

Alas, my cheap dad has finally come to his senses and knows to give gifts before doing anything!

"Xiao Laizi, do you have any more wine? Leave it all here with mother," Wu Juan asked.

"Don't you know if there is a mother? You must have gone to my room to look for her."

He Lai smiled.

"Don't give me that. I don't know you yet. You must have left it with your master or somewhere else. Otherwise, how could this wine appear out of thin air? Hurry and get me two more jars!"

Wu Juan doesn't buy He Lai's tricks.

"Uh... okay, I'll get it for you in a few days." He Lai had no choice but to agree.

Anyway, we have plenty of wine, such as deer penis wine and tiger penis wine, which are all available in Helai! Not to mention deer antler wine. Ginseng, ganoderma lucidum, and some other medicinal materials are very nutritious.

"That's good enough." Wu Juan nodded with satisfaction.

……

Another four days passed, and He Lai finally saw the mold he had been longing for.

A mold requires thirty-two identical slots with the same spacing between them, which is quite difficult to do in this era of manual operation.

Soon the mold was installed on the injection molding machine and started operating.

The effect is very good, and the lighter shell is successfully made!

"Well, He Lai, this shell looks okay, what do you think?"

Liumu picked one up and looked at it, then squeezed it hard and found it was quite hard.

"Well, it's not bad. Master Li, I'd like to trouble you to make molds for these small things, such as the fire adjustment ring and the support parts."

He Lai took the blueprint and pointed out several plastic products to Master Li and others.

"Okay, these are simple. Give us a few days to see that we can do it well."

Master Li assured.

"Thank you so much, guys. I'll put the meat in the cafeteria tomorrow, and you can just ask Director He Yuzhu to get it."

He Lai said.

"Thank you, Chief He. We have been waiting for this piece of meat for several days!"

Master Li said with a smile.

"Yes, we are all craving for meat!" "Yes"...

The other masters also echoed.

"Okay, then, masters, you guys continue working, I won't disturb you."

He said this and took Liu Mu away.

"Brother Liu, we have all the big pieces here, so I hope there are no flaws with the small pieces over there."

He Lai asked.

"Don't worry, it's been so many days, can't you handle a few small parts? They are all here, and we can assemble them after these plastic parts are finished."

Liu Mu said.

"Okay, that puts me at ease. Let's wait for the results."

……

That afternoon, He Lai took Sha Zhu and Yu Shui to Mr. Zhou's place. Why? Of course, they wanted to eat bear paws!

You can't have your cake and eat it too! He Lai had to eat both, so he prepared a big black carp and four mandarin fish.

Arrived at Mr. Zhou’s house.

"Xiao Laizi, you guys are here, why are you carrying so many things?"

Old Mrs. Zhou was weeding with Ke'er and Ye Jun when they saw He Lai and his two companions coming over with things.

"Grandma Zhou, see! Bear paws! These are the front paws, the most delicious food! And there's fish. Let's have both fish and bear paws today!"

He Lai shook the bear paw in his hand and said with a smile.

"How can you eat like this, kid? It's too extravagant."

Old Mrs. Zhou complained.

"That's fine, let's call Grandpa Xu and his family over and eat together, so nothing will be wasted!"

He Lai suggested.

"Okay, okay, I'll go call them now." Old Mrs. Zhou said happily.

"Grandma, I'll go with you." Ke'er said immediately.

"Okay, Ke'er, come with grandma." Old Mrs. Zhou smiled and took Ke'er's hand to call for help.

"Come here, brother." Ye Jun called in a low voice.

"Well, this is Brother Zhuzi, and Sister Yushui." He Lai introduced them to him.

"Hello Brother Zhuzi, hello Sister Yushui. My name is Ye Jun." Ye Jun said immediately.

"Hello, hello." Sha Zhu greeted immediately.

"Hello, Xiaojun." Yu Shui responded with a smile.

"Okay, let's go inside, Xiaojun, is Grandpa Zhou home?"

He Lai asked.

"Yes, Grandpa is playing chess with Grandpa Xu!" Ye Jun replied.

……

When Mr. Zhou and Mr. Xu saw the bear paw in He Lai's hand, they stopped playing chess and came over to take a look.

"Oh my, it's a front paw! Good stuff, good stuff, I'm in for a treat!"

Grandpa Xu said happily.

"Grandpa Xu, can you tell which is the right palm and which is the left palm?"

He Lai said with a smile.

"You think I'm Old Man Zhou, who can't even tell the difference between left and right? I also know that this bear is right-handed, so the right paw is usually tastier than the left paw.

Your Grandpa Xu also knows about bear paws. There are front and back paws. The front paw is smaller, about 20 cm long, with obvious flower patterns, more gelatin, wider palm surface, more fragrant meat, and no fishy smell. The back paw is longer, about 30 cm long, with less obvious flower patterns, narrower palm surface, slightly fishy smell, and inferior quality to the front paw.

Is what your Grandpa Xu said right? "

Mr. Xu said with great satisfaction.

"Well, it seems that this old guy has seen the pig run away. Then let's eat by ourselves and leave him alone." Old Man Zhou said sarcastically.

He Lai and his friends all covered their mouths and laughed secretly.

"Brother, which pig ran away? Where is the pig?" Ye Jun asked curiously.

"Haha..." He Lai laughed even louder.

"You little bastard, if you laugh again, I'll beat you!" Old Master Xu glared at He Lai.

"I don't believe it!" He Lai hid behind Mr. Zhou and said with a smile.

"That's right, hit me and see, I can knock down an intellectual like you with one hand."

Mr. Zhou immediately protected him.

"Hey, you two are really wearing the same pants!" Old Master Xu said with a wry smile.

Shazhu and Yushui just watched them fooling around.
