Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

Because there were so many people, the big wild boars in the two iron fences were quickly killed, and the small wild boars were also caught by He Genshui and his men, and quickly brought back to the village and raised in the pigsty.

Grandpa He and his men were busy bleeding the wild boar, as pig blood is a good thing.

Because of the cold weather and the addition of a lot of salt, the pig's blood turned into blood clots in a few minutes. A wild boar weighing nearly 2,000 kilograms has more than 100 kilograms of blood.

Put all the pork on the two sleds and prepare to pull them back slowly.

When everyone returned to the He family, Old Mrs. He and the others were processing pork. Although the whole yard was filled with the smell of blood and feces, they all had smiles on their faces.

With the arrival of another large group of wild boars, Grandma He and the others were stunned. There was so much pork!

Fortunately, all the women from Hejia Village were pulled over to help, so it was not too difficult to deal with.

Mr. He and Mr. Wu sat there, drinking tea and watching all this.

Xiaohu also told Grandpa He and the others that He Lai wanted them to work as buyers at the Red Star Steel Mill.

"Xiao Laizi, are you sure you can stay in the village? Don't you need to go to the factory?" asked Mr. He.

"It should be no problem. After all, you are a buyer. As long as you can purchase materials outside the plan, the factory will not ask for too much. After all, the factory is so short of meat right now."

He Lai said.

"Then let's ask the leader first. What if the leader doesn't agree? Then all our words will be in vain." said Mr. He.

"Grandpa, are you stupid? We have so much pork in our hands, how dare he not agree? If he doesn't agree, I will just give the pork to someone else!"

He Lai said with a smile.

"Don't talk nonsense. We have to give them what we should give. There are trucks, rifles, and iron fences. How can we not give them to others?"

Mr. Wu continued.

"Grandpa, you don't understand. I asked for these things, they didn't give them to me voluntarily." He Lai said with a smile.

"Anyway, you should greet your boss first. It doesn't matter whether you have a job or not. Xiaohu and the others have us. They won't suffer any loss."

Mr. He said.

"Yes, yes, that's what I mean. Don't force it." Mr. Wu added.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll talk to my leader." He Lai agreed reluctantly.

In fact, He Lai felt that there should be no problem with Li Huaide. Besides, Shazhu Canteen just didn't have a purchasing agent yet, so it was a foregone conclusion that Xiaohu and Wu Sheng would work as purchasing agents at the steel rolling mill.

"Grandpa, this time I plan to send only 2,000 kilograms of pork to the steel mill. You can keep the rest for now." He Lai changed the subject.

"Why? Grandpa has no place to store so much meat. It's fine now that the weather is cold, but what will we do when the weather gets hotter?"

When Mr. He heard that He Lai didn't intend to take everything away, he immediately became anxious.

"Grandpa, you don't understand. We can't give it all at once, otherwise they will have to rely on me. You don't want to see your grandson go hunting in the mountains every day, do you?"

He Lai explained.

"Uh... I'll do as you say, but you can't keep it for too long, otherwise your uncle Genshui will probably come and take the pork again."

Mr. He said.

"Hey, Grandpa, there are so many pig offal, you can share some with the villagers. It's just sitting there anyway, you can't sell it, and you can't eat it all."

He Lai said indifferently.

"Okay, don't worry about what's going on in the village. Grandpa knows what's going on."

Grandpa He waved his hands. He knew that farmers should not eat too well, otherwise their tastes would become picky, and they would not be able to eat wild vegetable dumplings or the like.

After hearing what Grandpa He said, He Lai didn't care anymore. He just had to do some supporting duties for the next three days.

The wild boar was not completely processed until eight o'clock in the evening. The women went back happily with the two kilograms of pork given by Old Lady He.

Mr. Wu and his family also took back 100 kilograms of pork.

"Grandma, you must be tired. Let me give you a massage." He said, and then walked behind Grandma He and started to massage.

"Grandma is not tired. What's tiring about having such a good day? Grandma wishes it could be like this every day!" Grandma He said with a smile.

"Mom, stop dreaming. If this continues every day, our family will probably become a wealthy family... Ouch..."

As soon as He Zhong finished speaking, he was kicked by Mr. He, who then cursed: "Go back, you are just a dog that can't spit out ivory!"

He Zhong could only go back in shame, while He Lai suppressed his smile and continued to massage Old Lady He.

"I don't know who this boss took his mouth from, but he keeps talking nonsense every day. Sigh." Old Mrs. He sighed.

Xiaohu was also very embarrassed and kept his head down without saying anything. It was his aunt who spoke up, "Mom, he was just talking nonsense in front of you two elders. He won't go out and say anything."

"Alright, alright, you're all tired, go back early, I'll give you some pork tomorrow, take some to your in-laws, it's almost New Year, add some meat and have some fun."

Mr. He waved his hand and gave instructions.

"Got it, Dad (Grandpa)." Everyone agreed and left.

"Xiao Laizi, Chinese New Year is the day after tomorrow. When do you plan to go back?" asked Mr. He.

"Well, let's go back the day after tomorrow. Once we hand over the meat, it will be over. Nothing will happen." He Lai said after thinking for a while.

"Okay, then after the New Year, will your parents come over?" Grandpa He continued to ask.

"As for Dad, I don't know how his security department has arranged it, but he should be able to come over. My mom should be bringing the kids over. After all, grandpa and grandma haven't seen my brother and sister for a long time."

He Lai analyzed.

"Okay, okay, as long as Juanzi can bring the children here, grandma misses the two little ones very much." Grandma He said with a smile.

"Oh, Xiao Laizi, the Yuan Datou are all in your room. The ones Genshui brought are also there. Grandpa won't help you look at them. You can go back and look at them slowly."

Mr. He said.

"Okay, Grandpa."

"Okay, Xiao Laizi, stop pressing it. Go back and have a rest. Grandma is going to sleep too."

Old Mrs. He patted He Lai's hand and said.

"Well, I'll go back to the house then."

……

When He Lai returned to the house, he found two boxes of Yuan Datou banknotes and the three bags of copper coins.

He Lai didn't touch it. When he went back, he just put it in the space and looked at it slowly.

When I woke up in the morning, I found that Grandma He was already sitting with my aunt and others making dumplings.

"Grandma, why are you making dumplings so early in the morning? Are you planning to treat the villagers to a meal?"

He Lai said with a smile.

"Whatever they eat, I'm going to prepare this for you to take back so you don't have to make dumplings during the New Year. The weather is cold now, so the dumplings can be kept for a long time." Old Mrs. He said with a smile.

He Lai went to the inner room and saw that the room was full of dumplings. It seemed that they had started making them early in the morning.

"Grandma, there's no need to make so many dumplings. When mom comes over, dad and I will still have lunch at the factory. We only have one meal at home every day. How many days will it take to make so many dumplings?"

He Lai advised.

"Not many, not many. There are only about 300 or 400 of them. Your father may have eaten them all. In the past, every time he made dumplings during the Chinese New Year, he would eat 40 or 50 of them. You and your father can finish these dumplings in a few days."

Old Mrs. He smiled.

He Lai smacked his lips and stopped talking. He didn't expect He Zhan to be such a big eater! Fifty dumplings, he must be full!

Handmade dumplings are quite big these days. He Lai said he would be happy if he could eat thirty of them.
