Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

"Master Hu, your little Laizi is here again."

"You naughty boy." Master Hu kicked his apprentice as usual, "Go now."

"What did Brother Zhuzi say yesterday?"

"I didn't say anything, just took a bottle of wine and cigarettes. Did you teach me that?"

"Otherwise, you're almost an ungrateful person. Isn't that right, Master Hu?"

"Cough, cough, cough."

"Bring an extra dish today!"

"Can it be pig's trotters? I, ugh, Rainwater loves to eat them."

"Okay, I understand."

……

"What, are you envious?"

"Ah."

"Can you try it too?"

"No, Master He Yuzhu, I feel a little weak."

"If Xu doesn't go to see a doctor, be careful of the Xu family leaving behind."

"Bah, bah, bah, crow's mouth."

"Brother Damao, I know there is an acupuncture point on the sole of the foot that can determine whether you have kidney deficiency. Do you want to try it?"

"Need not!"

"Brother Damao, don't ride so fast!"

"If you can't breathe for a while, your health will get worse."

……

He poured half of the twice-cooked pork to Xu Damao and returned to the courtyard. He Lai found Xiao Yushui lying on the swing. Qin Huairu was indeed reliable and had arranged the back cushion and seat cushion.

He opened the lunch box and fanned the aroma of pig's trotters toward Xiao Yushui. Xiao Yushui sniffed and immediately opened her eyes.

"Come on brother, give it to me."

"Rainwater, you forgot again!"

Xiao Yushui jumped off the swing and went to wash her hands immediately. Inside the house, Sha Zhu watched Wu Juan and Qin Huairu embroidering seat cushions. It would be nice to embroider more.

"Brother Zhuzi, what are you looking at that's so beautiful?"

"Hey, pig's trotter, Xiao Laizi, give one to your brother Zhuzi. I haven't eaten it for a long time."

"There are four pig's trotters, one for Yu Shui, one for my mother, and one for my sister-in-law. Which one do you want to eat?"

"Ahem, ahem, ahem, you guys eat, you guys eat. I'll go get the steamed buns and lunch boxes."

Qin Huairu burst out laughing.

"Brother Zhuzi, my sister-in-law said she doesn't want to eat anymore, so I'll give it to you!"

"really?"

"Nonsense, it must be fake!"

"Hold on, Rainwater, be careful, big rat!"

……

After the four of them finished their meal, Sha Zhu started to gnaw on Qin Huairu and Yu Shui's pig's trotters.

He Lai also left half for Wu Juan, who took it with a smile.

"Brother Zhuzi, is it delicious?"

"good to eat!"

"Then why didn't you bring anything back from your master yesterday?"

"Forehead."

"Do you know that Master Hu dislikes you?"

"Wife, let's go back..."

……

"My beloved, don't go. I can give you what he can give you."

……

"Master Hu, can you give me an extra lunch box?"

"No."

"Okay, I'll leave first."

...

"Brother Damao, what's going on?"

"Master Hu doesn't seem to like me."

"It must be Brother Zhuzi who said something bad about you!"

"Of course I will fight this bastard."

"Brother Damao, you can't beat him."

"How is that possible? I'm quite strong now."

"Yesterday I saw Zhuzi pick up his wife with one arm and start running. Why don't you try to run with me in your arms?"

"Brother Damao, ride slower!"

……

"Xiao Laizi, come and see your uncle Liu." Liu Haizhong saw He Lai and Xu Damao.

"Okay, Uncle Liu. I'll be right there."

After putting the things away, I took Xiao Yushui to Liu Haizhong's house.

"Uncle Liu, I brought you a carp. I wish my brother Guangqi will succeed in making it to the Dragon Gate." He Lai gave the fish to Aunt Liu.

"Hey, this is fine. Xiao Laizi, take a look at this cage and see if it works." Liu Haizhong pulled the iron cage over.

"Well, very good, great craftsmanship!" He Lai gave a thumbs up.

"Hey, your Uncle Liu, you do have some welding skills. Welding small things like this is a piece of cake for you!" Liu Haizhong boasted.

"Uncle Liu, do you really want to be a leader?" He Lai leaned closer and whispered.

"Yes, can you help me?" Liu Haizhong asked uncertainly. Is this a 9-year-old kid?

"Uncle Liu, I heard an old man say the other day that if you want to be a leader, you have to develop a mass base. Once you have a mass base, you can become a leader!" He Lai directly threw out the omnipotent old man!

"That makes sense. How can we develop it?"

"What do the masses lack? They lack technology! Do you understand?"

“But what if I teach them and they take my job?”

"Uncle Liu, are you stupid? You were the leader at that time. You led everyone to work. Why did you snatch the job? They were all from your church. If they didn't support you, wouldn't you be an ungrateful person? The leaders above also have eyes!"

Liu Haizhong fell into deep thought.

"Uncle Liu, we have a strong mass base!" He Lai led Xiao Yushui and carried the iron cage away. Guang Tian was still promising Xiao Yushui that he would never bully her again.

Regarding Liu Haizhong, the author said that he would still give him a hand. As a senior master who is most easily fooled in Siheyuan, he is crazy about becoming an official. Let him become an official first and see if the author is in a good mood, hehe...

Without Zhuzi, Wu Juan ate with Xiao Yushui. He Lai ate a white steamed bun and wondered whether he should go directly to the sixth grade or junior high school for the final exam. He would go to the sixth grade first, and he could still watch the rain. That was good!

……

"My beloved, my beloved, please do not leave me. My Qing Dynasty has not perished.

……

"Brother Damao, give me your school bag."

"What? Don't take my book!"

"Let me pad my butt. There's nothing on the front bumper that won't support my butt."

Xu Damao grabbed the schoolbag and said, "Come up quickly, let's go."

"Brother Damao, please go slower. My butt is tender and I am afraid of pain."

Xu Damao immediately kicked hard...

……

Tie a small cloth bag in the iron cage, put a lot of internal organs in it, and see if there is any harvest. Slowly lower it down. Tie a piece of wood to the rope.

"Little Lai, how many of these are there? Give some to the old man, too."

"Hey, I forgot to give the money yesterday! My uncle Liu didn't want it either. I'll go back and ask tonight."

"Row."

...

"Report." He Lai came to the office door.

"He Lai, what do you want to talk to the teacher about?" Teacher Liu waved his hand and let him in.

"Teacher Liu, I want to skip a grade?" He Lai said directly.

"What, skipping a grade?" Teacher Liu was immediately surprised.

"Well, I already know all the fifth grade stuff!"

"Are you telling the truth?"

"Ah."

"Then the teacher will go to the principal's office with you."

...

"That's the situation, don't you think?"

"Then let him do a set of tests here first. We'll talk about it after he passes." Principal Wu made the decision.

Thus, He Lai began his journey of skipping grades for the first time in two lives.

...

In the afternoon, He Lai was called to the principal's office by Teacher Liu.

"Your school has approved your grade skipping. Are you planning to go to sixth grade next semester or fifth grade now?"

"Next semester! Thank you, Principal." He Lai bowed to express his gratitude.

"Hey, we are proud to have such an outstanding student like you. Go ahead."

...

"Brother Lai, what's the matter?" Li Jianguo asked.

"Oh, I was so good that my teacher asked me to go directly to junior high school after graduation, but I refused."

"boast."

"If you brag enough, people will believe it."

...

"Uncle Liu, how much was that yesterday?" He Lai came to Liu Haizhong's house.

"No money required, Uncle Liu will give it to you."

"Is there something wrong with Uncle Liu?"

"Haha, that's what happened. Today I told the workshop director that I wanted to teach the apprentices in the workshop. The director was so happy that he let me take charge. He also said that he would give me more responsibilities."

"Well, Uncle Liu, congratulations. Can you still make that iron cage? My fisherman wants it."

"It's a bit difficult now. The government has put controls in place. Ordinary materials are OK, but stainless steel is not."

"Okay, I get it. Uncle Liu, I think I've seen the entire workshop filled with your disciples!"

"Haha."
