Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

At the New Year’s Eve dinner, the family sat together eating and chatting.

"Xiao Laizi, you will be twenty next year, and Yu Shui will be eighteen. By then you will marry Yu Shui to me, okay?" Wu Juan said as she picked up a piece of fish for He Lai.

"Mom, you make the decision. I'll follow your arrangements." He Lai naturally had no objection. Yu Shui probably wouldn't object anyway.

"Well, my son is still sensible!" Wu Juan nodded with satisfaction.

Before they finished their meal, Yu Shui came with the people from Sha Zhu's family.

Wu Juan took Qin Huairu, Qin Jingru and Yu Shui to the inner room to chat, leaving the outside to the men.

He Daqing opened the Xifeng liquor he brought with him and started drinking with He Zhan, while Sha Zhu drank some beside him.

He Lai was surrounded by a group of children and was asked for New Year's money.

Soon Xu Damao's family came over. Xu Fugui and Xu Damao joined the drinking group. Aunt Xu, Xu Zhaodi and Qin Yuru also went into the inner room.

Not long after, Nannan also followed Xiao Shitou to come and wish He Lai a happy new year.

He Lai thought about it and simply led a group of children to set off firecrackers in the yard. The crackling sound echoed throughout the courtyard. The children screamed, ran and made noises excitedly.

After the firecrackers were set off, He Lai went back to the house. He really couldn't stand the cold. The nights in this city were too cold.

A group of adults were drinking in the room, and the children snuggled into the arms of their elders and started asking for food.

"Xiao Laizi, come and have a few drinks with uncle." He Daqing greeted him immediately when he saw He Lai coming back.

"I'm underage and can't drink! Uncle He, you should go drink with my dad."

He Lai refused directly.

"You little brat! You're getting married tomorrow! And you're not even an adult yet! Zhuzi, Damao, bring him here to me. I have to make this kid drink a bowl of wine today!" He Daqing shouted.

He Lai was speechless. It seemed that He Daqing was drunk. He could only walk over, pour a bowl, and said respectfully, "Uncle He, watch out, this is a big bowl. I'll go back to sleep after you drink it!"

"Okay, okay, okay, if you drink this bowl, I will let you go." He Daqing said with a smile.

"Drink slowly, this wine is very strong!" He Zhan advised.

He Lai smiled, picked up the bowl and drank the wine in one gulp. However, the wine did not enter He Lai's stomach, but went into the space.

"Ah..." He Lai deliberately opened his mouth and sighed, "Uncle He, I'm done drinking."

"Good boy, you finished such a big bowl in one breath. You are awesome. I will let you go."

He Daqing said with a smile.

"Go back and lie down before you get too drunk. You're not supposed to drink like that."

He Zhan advised.

"Okay, then I'll go back. Dad, you guys take your time drinking." He Lai was eager to go back to bed early.

"Xiao Laizi, don't go. We agreed to play poker!" Sha Zhu grabbed He Lai.

"Brother Zhuzi, I don't want to play anymore. You should keep your pocket money for yourself." He Lai said with a smile.

"Uh... then you go back to sleep." Sha Zhu thought so and realized that He Lai was so powerful, so he decided not to play cards with him.

He Lai returned to his bedroom, quickly took off his clothes and got into bed to warm himself.

……

At twelve o'clock in the morning, Yu Shui brought a bowl of dumplings into He Lai's room and found that He Lai was already asleep.

"Come here, brother. Come here, brother." Yu Shui called out softly twice. Seeing that He Lai did not respond, she looked at He Lai's face.

As she watched, she thought about what Wu Juan and the others had said to her, and her face turned red.

Yu Shui hesitated for a moment, took off her coat, and got into He Lai's bed.

……

The next day, He Lai felt vaguely that there was something in his arms. He squeezed it with his hand and it was soft. When he opened his eyes, he saw Yu Shui sleeping soundly in his arms.

He was holding her breast in his hand! This...this...this, this made He Lai's computer crash.

His body reacted immediately, and something stood up.

What a sin! How did the rain get into my bed?

He Lai quickly tried to calm himself down, but how could he calm down?

Just when He Lai didn't know what to do, Yu Shui's body moved. He Lai was so scared that he quickly closed his eyes and his hands loosened unconsciously.

After a while, Yu Shui also woke up, probably because he felt something strange about He Lai's body. After all, He Lai's body was now burning hot.

Looking at He Lai's flushed face, Yu Shui knew that her brother was pretending to be asleep, so she immediately escaped from He Lai's bed and went back to her room with her clothes.

Hearing the sound of the bedroom door closing, He Lai opened his eyes. What a sin! He didn't know when the rain came in. He Lai quickly got up, locked the door, entered the space, and jumped into the pool to calm himself down!

Unfortunately, my mind is full of Yu Shui's graceful figure. I often let her eat papaya during this period. The little girl is in good shape! Very elastic!

Alas, this little girl, isn't she afraid that he will get out of his bestiality and do her to her?

He Lai stayed in the pool for a long time before he calmed down his restless heart! He was really worse than an animal, not even eating the meat that was right in front of him!

After He Lai stabilized himself, he changed his clothes and left the space.

When I went out, I found that the rain was gone. I guess it had gone to the next door.

There was a plate of dumplings on the table. He Lai took out some money and tried one. It was still hot and not bad.

……

After eating the dumplings, He Lai went next door and found that Wu Juan was already packing up there.

"Mom, are you planning to go back to the countryside today?" He Lai asked.

"Yes, you two have to go to work, so mom will go back and stay for a few days. There are so many buses now, so it's convenient. It only takes an hour or two to get there." Wu Juan said with a smile.

"Xiao Laizi, do you want to go out to pay New Year's greetings? Or come with us?" He Zhan also asked.

Since He Zhan's comrades were basically not in the city and he had no intention of currying favor with the higher-ups, he did not go to pay New Year's greetings and went straight back to his hometown.

He Lai thought for a while and said, "Dad, I'd better not go. I just came back from grandpa. I'd better go visit my masters."

"Okay, it's up to you." He Zhan nodded in agreement.

"Dad, when you come back, ask Brother Xiaohu and Brother Wusheng to come over. I have found them a job as buyers at the steel mill, and they need to apply for employment!"

He Lai ordered.

"What? What have you done? You're still recruiting people into the factory at this time. What a bad influence! Besides, didn't your grandfather say that they should stay in the countryside?"

He Zhan said with a sullen face.

"Dad, you misunderstood..." He Lai then explained the nature of Xiaohu and the others' work, saying that they only took up two purchasing positions and actually still lived in the countryside.

"Oh, so that's how it is. Fine then, but you better be careful and don't go too far. There are so many people watching us."

He Zhan nodded and said, thinking for a moment, he added a few more words: "Xiao Laizi, where is your golden eagle? Now many people have come to ask me about it, implying that you deliberately hid the golden eagle and did not take them hunting. Isn't this not good?"

"What's wrong with that? My son's golden eagle can be used however he wants. Those people just want to use Xiao Laizi for nothing. What a wishful thinking!"

Wu Juan immediately protected He Lai and spoke.

"Didn't I give them pork? How can it be a waste of time?" He Zhan retorted.

"Okay, you only give me a dozen pounds of pork every time you go hunting. Xiao Laizi gets many times more than this whenever he goes out casually. Especially you, as a father, you just try to be a good person. Every time you go to the steel mill, you don't give Xiao Laizi any meat!" Wu Juan said angrily.

He Zhan was suddenly speechless. After all, that was the fact and he couldn't refute it. In his heart, he thought that He Lai didn't contribute much and only provided two golden eagles. Besides, they couldn't finish all the meat at home, so there was no need to take that meat.

"Okay, Mom, Dad, stop arguing. Anyway, the golden eagle will not be loaned out in the future, and I will not let others go hunting. I will only help Brother Xiaohu and the others hunt occasionally to repay my debt of gratitude."

He Lai interrupted.

"Oh, okay, I don't care anymore. It's up to you." He Zhan sighed and went out.

"Don't worry about your father. He is just addicted to being a good guy. Whenever others come to him for help, he wants to help. He doesn't even think about the fact that there are not so many wild boars in the deep mountains. If he continues to help, he will really have to run away from the city." Wu Juan said directly.

He Lai also smiled and said nothing. He understood his father's patriotism, but he really didn't want to be dominated by others. Besides, he had tried his best. In the past few months, Lu Zixuan had been sending food to China, and it was reported in the newspapers.
