Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

At He Lai's house, a group of people were celebrating the fact that Hu Zi and Chun Er both got admitted to technical secondary school.

"Huzi, since you have chosen the major of mechanics, you should learn more. I have many old books on mechanics here. You can take them back and read them. If you don't understand, just ask. There are many people in our hospital who know mechanics. For example, Uncle No. 1 and Uncle No. 2 are both level 7 workers. Any experience they have is enough for you to learn."

He Lai instructed.

"Okay, Brother Lai, I understand." Hu Zi nodded.

"Huzi, there's your brother Lai, he's an engineer! Don't be afraid, he's very free, you can go and bother him more often."

Rainwater smiled and added,

"Hey, Rainwater, where are you from? Believe it or not, I will reduce your rations!"

He Lai glared at Yu Shui.

The rain stuck out its tongue and provoked He Lai, not afraid at all.

"By the way, Huzi, my bicycle is yours now. I'm going to buy a new one. Just treat it as a gift from my technical secondary school to you."

He said this and gave the car keys to Hu Zi.

"Brother Lai, I can't accept it!" Hu Zi said immediately.

"Here, you come here and I have plenty of bicycle tickets. Look!"

As He said this, he took out two bicycle tickets and showed them to Hu Zi.

"Xiao Laizi, give me one, your brother Damao's bicycle is about to fall apart."

When Xu Damao saw He Lai’s bicycle ticket, he immediately had an idea.

"And me, and me, Xiao Laizi, your brother Zhuzi also wants one."

Sha Zhu said immediately.

"No, Brother Zhuzi, I understand why Brother Damao wants a bicycle ticket, but you are being unreasonable. You attend banquets for your leaders every now and then, can't you get a bicycle ticket?"

He Lai gave Xu Damao a bicycle ticket and asked Xiang Shazhu.

"Uh... well, well, I don't want to change it, okay, okay, I'll ask the leader myself, okay?"

Sha Zhu was suddenly speechless.

"Brother Zhuzi, we should take what we deserve. Don't refuse things that are free. Those leaders don't need these receipts. If they don't give them, we won't even cook for them! Don't be afraid. No one dares to touch us in this small piece of land of the steel mill!"

He Lai smiled.

"I understand." Sha Zhu nodded and said.

"If He Yuzhu can't do it, I'll go get it for you. Then you can cook a meal for me. How about that?"

Xu Damao suggested.

"No, no, I can just ask Director Li for one myself."

Sha Zhu waved his hand and said.

"Brother Zhuzi, don't always try to get something for Director Li. There are so many leaders outside the factory. Next time they ask you to cook, just mention it. I guarantee you'll get one."

He Lai was speechless, how could this silly child only have Li Huaide in his eyes?

"Uh... I'm not familiar with them, and I'm afraid they won't give it to me. It will be so awkward then."

Silly Zhu said.

"He Yuzhu, are you stupid? If they don't give us food, why don't we just not cook for them? He doesn't even give you face, so why should you give him face?"

Xu Damao interrupted.

"Uh...is this okay?" Sha Zhu asked hesitantly.

"Brother Zhuzi, I think you should go ask Master how much he charges for hosting a banquet for others, and then think about whether this is okay!"

He Lai said, I didn't expect Sha Zhu to be so cowardly, it seems he really only knows how to be the best person.

"Well, whenever my master goes out, the price per table is 20 yuan, but the people who invite my master are all rich people, while the people who invite me are officials." Sha Zhu said.

It has been a long time since Sha Zhu last went to prepare a banquet with Master Hu. He used to be Master Hu's assistant a long time ago.

"Hey, He Yuzhu, are you looking down on those officials? They are very rich. Last time I heard someone say that when a corrupt official's home was checked, there were tens of thousands of cash and a lot of gold bars. He must be extremely rich!"

Xu Damao said.

"Those are bad officials and corrupt officials! How can good officials have so much money!" Sha Zhu retorted.

"Yes, yes, yes, the good official asked you to be his chef and cook for him! He has money to cook! Do you think they are all small fry who can catch wild boars and rabbits from the mountains? Where do they get all that meat, oil, and wine? Nowadays, even department-level leaders only get two kilograms of meat a month! Think about it, are those things obtained through greed?"

Xu Damao rolled his eyes and continued.

Sha Zhu was speechless now, feeling a little embarrassed. Xu Damao was right. Those who still asked him to cook during a disaster year were definitely corrupt officials.

"Alright, alright, there are so many corrupt officials out there, let's not get involved. Let's not talk about this anymore. Chun'er, I've also prepared a gift for you, a watch, take it."

He Lai took out a brand new watch from his pocket and gave it to her.

"Thank you, Brother Lai." Chun'er happily took the watch and said with a smile.

"You're welcome! When will your acceptance letter arrive?"

He Lai asked about Liu Guangtian again.

"I don't know. It may take a few days. My mother is waiting for the postman at the gate of the yard every day." Liu Guangtian said.

"You know what, Second Aunt has almost moved her home to the front door. Now she does everything sitting at the front door, and she almost sleeps there."

Xu Damao smiled.

"You are the first college student in our college. I guess the second uncle will hold a banquet for you!"

He Lai smiled.

"That's right, Second Master has asked me to cook for him, and he said he wants to have a big feast!"

Sha Zhu also said.

"Hehe, that's all thanks to Brother Lai. I feel like I've already done a lot of the questions in this college entrance examination paper, so the questions were very easy to answer."

Liu Guangtian said with a smile.

"Is this true? Xiao Laizi, then weren't those tests you cheated on?"

Xu Damao shouted.

"Haha, Brother Damao, what's cheating? You can also use this test paper to do it. No one is stopping you. Others have been doing the test paper for more than a year. Do you want to try it?"

He Lai said with a smile.

"Uh... forget it, I'll just go to night school!"

Xu Damao backed off immediately. After all, he had seen Liu Guangtian working hard, with his head down, doing test papers every day.

“Remember, genius is 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration! So you must work twice as hard to realize your dreams!

You all need to work hard! Look at me, then look at yourself, it shows that you are not working hard enough. "

He Lai lectured with a serious look on his face.

"Fuck, Xiao Laizi, even though what you said makes sense, I can't help but feel the urge to hit you now!"

Silly Zhu said.

"Add me in!" Xu Damao also looked at He Lai and said with a smile.

"Actually, I want to too," said Liu Guangtian.

"I want to try it too." Hu Zi said happily.

"Hey, what do you want to do? Do you want to rebel?" He Lai stood up vigilantly.

"Let's go ahead! We must teach Xiao Lai a lesson today!" Sha Zhu took the lead and hugged He Lai with both hands.

Seeing this, Xu Damao, Liu Guangtian and Hu Zi immediately rushed forward and trapped He Lai.

He Lai was afraid of hurting them, so he could only beg for mercy hypocritically and call on Yu Shui and Chun Er to save him.

Unfortunately, Yu Shui and He Chun'er hid far away and watched all this with a smile.

Fortunately, none of them dared to really hit He Lai. After all, they knew He Lai's fighting ability. Once he started to get angry, even Sha Zhu would not be able to withstand He Lai's punch.
