Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

The matter of the Lou family running away and the matter of He Lai catching a wild boar with the golden eagle were both fermenting at the same time at the Red Star Steel Mill, but it was obvious that the workers were more concerned about the wild boar. After all, it allowed them to eat meat, which was related to their lives.

However, Lou Bancheng's escape left many courtyard houses vacant in the old city, giving many workers who had not yet been resettled an opportunity, including Wu Sheng and his colleagues. They were all ready to apply for housing from the factory.

At this moment, He Lai was holding Wu'er and chatting with Yu Shui when Director Yang's secretary Yan came over.

"Chief He, Director Yang wants to see you. Please come over."

Secretary Yan said.

"Okay, I'll go right away." He Lai agreed and handed Wu'er to Yu Shui.

He Lai packed up and went to Director Yang's office with Secretary Yan.

There were two people in the office, one was Director Yang, and the other was Director Han from the First Machinery Factory, whom He Lai also knew.

"Comrade He Lai, long time no see." As soon as Director Han saw He Lai coming, he immediately stood up, stretched out his hand and greeted him.

"Uh, Director Han, long time no see." He Lai shook hands with him awkwardly.

"Sit down, sit down, let's sit down and talk slowly." Director Yang immediately greeted.

After He Lai sat down, Director Han specially made tea for He Lai, which made He Lai a little embarrassed.

"I wonder if Director Yang and Director Han want to talk to me about anything?" He Lai asked as usual.

"He Lai, to be honest, Uncle Han, I came here this time mainly because I heard that you have two golden eagles. They are very powerful and can track wild boars. They helped your steel mill catch a lot of wild boars. Is that true?"

Director Han asked with a smile.

"Well, it's just luck, just luck. I don't know if it will happen next time."

He Lai could only respond perfunctorily.

"Hey, He Lai, you are too modest. Everyone in the industrial departments knows your abilities. You probably have a lot of achievements. Do you remember the iron fence you built before? It helped us catch a lot of wild boars."

Director Han said with a smile.

When Director Yang heard about the iron fence, his face suddenly looked a little embarrassed. He thought that it was because he did not agree to do it in the first place that it was the turn of the First Machinery Factory.

"Uncle Han, if you have something to say, just tell me. I will definitely help you if I can."

He Lai said that Director Han was Mr. Zhou's man after all, so it was understandable for him to help.

"Okay, Uncle Han said, I want you to help catch some wild boars. Uncle Han has tens of thousands of workers in his factory. Life without meat is hard. Can you help your uncle Han? Is that okay?"

Director Han asked.

"This..." He Lai was a little embarrassed. He knew that if he agreed to this, more and more people would come to him next time.

"He Lai, you see we are all acquaintances, just help Uncle Han." Director Han continued to plead, "Don't worry, I will definitely not let you help for nothing."

Factory Director Yang also chimed in: "Yes, He Lai, this is also for the sake of the workers."

He Lai hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed, "Okay, I'll give it a try. But I can't guarantee that I can catch the wild boar."

"Okay, okay, Uncle Han feels relieved when you say that." Director Han said happily.

"Then Uncle Han, please have someone come to see me on the weekend." He Lai said.

"It's the weekend, can you be faster?" Director Han was still thinking of going tomorrow.

"Uncle Han, the two golden eagles flew all day yesterday. They probably need to rest these few days. Large birds of prey like golden eagles can't fly high in the sky every day."

He Lai had no choice but to explain.

"Oh, so that's the case. Okay then." Upon seeing this, Director Han also agreed.

"That's nothing. I'll leave first." He Lai prepared to leave after the discussion was over.

"Okay, see you this weekend," said Director Han.

……

In the next few days, He Lai met many leaders one after another. Without exception, they all wanted He Lai to take them hunting.

So in the following period of time, He Lai would go out once a week to help them catch wild boars, of course sometimes more, sometimes less.

In fact, various leaders have also set their sights on the golden eagle and have sent people to the Inner Mongolia Plateau or the Northeast to inquire about the golden eagle. After all, the golden eagle in Helai can hunt, so they can also find a falconer and bring the golden eagle to Sijiu City to help them catch wild boars.

However, the effects of the golden eagles brought back and the falconer were not as good as Helai's golden eagles. Helai's golden eagles were not only larger than ordinary golden eagles, but also very smart. They knew that humans wanted them to help find wild boars, so every time they went out, they rarely hunted small animals. They would go directly in the direction of wild boars. After discovering a group of wild boars, they would wander somewhere to remind humans.

So every time He Lai took the golden eagle out, he would gain something more or less.

Even the falconers on the grassland were very surprised. They didn't expect that there was such a powerful golden eagle in the city of Sijiu.

The hunting life continued for a long time until He Lai had visited all the deep mountains near Sijiu City, and then he stopped.

Time quickly came to October, and He Lai was preparing to go to Guangzhou to attend the Canton Fair.

Wu Juan's home

"Why are there so many things going on every day? This country can't function without my son, right?"

Wu Juan complained.

He Lai did not respond to Wu Juan's words, but instead talked about the golden eagle: "Mom, the golden eagle is left here with you. Don't let them go out if there is nothing wrong."

"Okay, I got it. These two eagles are tired enough. Now we have so much meat at home, which is enough for them to eat."

Wu Juan nodded and agreed.

"And the puppy, I'll move the kennel over here later."

He Lai added.

"Forget about the dog. It can help you look after the house. Mom will go and feed it. Don't worry."

Wu Juan said.

"Okay then." He Lai didn't object. It was okay to let it stay at home.

The mother and son were chatting casually when Sha Zhu came over.

"Brother Zhuzi, is there something wrong?" He Lai asked curiously.

"Well, Xiao Laizi, can you talk to Director Li and ask me to go to the Canton Fair as well?"

Silly Zhu said.

"Ah? Brother Zhuzi, as a cook, why do you always want to go there? Now everyone has nothing to eat, and it will be useless for you to go there."

He Lai said directly.

"Hey, it's because Xu Damao has been showing off in front of me, so I want to go too."

Silly Zhu said.

"Hey, Brother Zhuzi, Brother Damao, that's because he's good at talking and can make the boss happy, Director Li needs him. You have so many children at home! You'd better not go."

He Lai advised.

"Zhu Zi, stop making trouble and stay at home! You can't compare yourself to Damao. He only has one child, but you have four. Besides, Damao has his mother to take care of them. But you don't have anyone at home. Old He can't take good care of Huai Ru and the others."

Wu Juan also advised.

"Okay." Sha Zhu agreed reluctantly.

"Brother Zhuzi, help me braise some meat so I can eat it on the way. Also, prepare some more marinade packets for me so I can eat it myself. I'll bring you durian when I come back! I know you must be craving for it."

He Lai said. He Lai said to put some braised food in the space so that you can eat it when you are hungry.

"Okay, I'll get it for you later. I want four big durians!"

Silly Zhu said.

"Okay, I will definitely bring you four big ones when the time comes." He Lai agreed with a smile.
