Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

Half a month passed and He Lai was lying in the office slacking off.

The song "Listen to Me Say Thank You" was broadcast on the steel mill radio, and it was a chorus of children!

He Lai was stunned. He didn't expect Song Xue's movements to be so quick that she could make people sing!

After the song was finished, Yu Shui also specifically pointed out that the lyrics and music of this song were written by Comrade He Lai, the chief of the third technical department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

The whole factory was stunned. They didn’t expect He Lai had this skill.

In the next few days, He Lai suddenly became the focus of the whole factory. Whenever he walked on the street, a group of people would greet him. As a result, He Lai now let the rain bring him food instead of going to the cafeteria.

There was no other way. The school was also organizing students to sing this song. It was so brainwashing that the children started singing it to their parents as soon as they got home from school. Those parents were so moved.

"Hehe, come on, brother, mom asked me to tell you this morning that she wants to hear you sing that song for her when you get off work!"

Yu Shui put the lunch box in front of He Lai and smiled.

"It's all your fault, little girl. Why do you say it's my fault? If you don't say anything, then nothing will happen! Go sing at your mother's place after get off work. I have something to do today so I'll be home late."

He Lai glared at Yu Shui and said.

"Sing if you want to. I've already sung it to mother. If you don't want to go back, then don't go back. If mother gets angry, I won't care. Humph!" Yu Shui snorted and turned around and walked out of He Lai's office.

He Lai was a little depressed. No, if he couldn't deal with the rain, how could he be a husband? He would torment the rain at night and make her beg for mercy!

Something must break between the old cow and the field tonight!

……

It's time to get off work, and He Lai is a little conflicted about whether to go home or not. He thinks he should go back later. He hasn't been to Grandpa Zhou's place for a long time, so he wants to go and see Ke'er and the others.

As soon as he entered Mr. Zhou's yard, he heard Mrs. Zhou's laughter coming from the house. He Lai suddenly had a bad feeling and was thinking about coming back next time.

"Hey, what are you doing? You're here and you want to leave?" Old Master Zhou appeared out of nowhere and called He Lai.

"Ah? Grandpa Zhou, what are you doing in the yard?" He Lai turned around awkwardly and spoke.

"Are you blind? Can't you see such a big hoe? Come in." Old Man Zhou rolled his eyes at He Lai, picked up the hoe and walked into the house.

He Lai smacked his lips and had to follow.

"Hey, Xiao Laizi is here, come and sit down, come and sit down, Ke'er, go and get your brother a glass of water."

When Old Mrs. Zhou saw He coming, she immediately greeted him.

"Okay." He Lai responded, sat over and asked, "Grandma Zhou, what were you laughing at just now?"

"Well, Ke'er was singing your song just now, and grandma was happy, so she smiled, haha..."

Old Mrs. Zhou couldn't suppress her inner joy and laughed out loud again.

"Hey, old woman, why are you so happy? It's just a song! Since I came back, you have been asking the little girl to sing it. What's so funny? You even didn't cook!"

Mr. Zhou took the tea handed to him by Ye Jun, took a sip, and couldn't help but complain.

"You old man! What did you say! If you're hungry, go cook for yourself! Look how spoiled you are! Will you die if I cook for you?" Old Mrs. Zhou glared at Old Man Zhou and said.

Mr. Zhou didn't dare to say anything for a moment. He drank his tea obediently and read the newspaper.

He Lai didn't care about the old couple's bickering. He pulled Ye Jun over, took a look, touched his head and said, "Xiao Jun has grown taller and become a handsome boy."

Ye Jun smiled but didn't say anything.

"Come here, brother, here is your water." Ke'er handed over a glass of water.

"Thank you, my sister Ke'er!" He Lai quickly took a sip of water.

Ke'er shyly snuggled into Old Lady Zhou's arms.

Old Mrs. Zhou patted Ke'er on the back and said to He, "Xiao Laizi, you wrote a really good song, and Ke'er sang it beautifully."

"Haha, is that so?" He Lai was embarrassed. He just copied the dog and didn't dare to say more.

"Of course, Ke'er, come, sing it for your brother." Old Mrs. Zhou turned Ke'er over and faced He Lai.

"Okay!" Ke'er blushed and sang to He Lai: "I'll give you a little heart and a flower..."

After the song was finished, Ke'er hid in Old Lady Zhou's arms again.

"Well, it's really good. Ke'er's singing is really nice." He Lai praised.

"Right, our Ke'er can become a singer in the future. Grandma will find someone to teach you to sing tomorrow." Old Mrs. Zhou touched Ke'er's head and said with a smile.

"Haha, Grandma Zhou, you are right." He Lai didn't dare to refute and could only smile to show his agreement.

It is said that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. In the eyes of this grandmother, her granddaughter is nothing short of a fairy.

"Xiao Laizi, Xiaojun, come on, accompany grandpa for a walk." Old Man Zhou seemed hungry, but he didn't dare to ask Old Lady Zhou to cook, so he could only go out for a walk.

"Okay, I just happen to want to go visit Grandpa Xu's house." He Lai responded.

"Okay, let's walk."

After He Lai and the other two left the house, Old Mrs. Zhou took a glance at them and just smiled, without any intention of cooking.

……

At Mr. Xu's house, people were just about to have dinner when He Lai and his two companions came in. Mrs. Xu saw that there were three more mouths to feed and immediately went to the kitchen to cook.

"Hey, Old Man Zhou, what's wrong with you? You brought your two little kids to my place for a free meal!"

Mr. Xu taunted.

"Tsk! I just finished my meal and brought the two kids out here to help digest the food."

After Mr. Zhou finished speaking, he filled his glass with wine and took a small sip.

"Haha, do you think Xiao Laizi and Xiao Jun look like they just finished their meal when they were eating?"

Old Master Xu said with a smile. At this time, He Lai was fighting with Xu Yang for food, and Ye Jun also picked up a steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Grandpa Xu, I didn't have enough for lunch and I'm still a little hungry. Do you mind if I eat some of your food?"

He Lai snatched a piece of braised pork from Xu Yang's chopsticks, stuffed it into his mouth, and said with a smile.

"Haha, you little brat dares to touch me, believe it or not, I will give you a blow to the head!" Old Master Xu scolded with a smile.

"Grandpa Xu, please don't do anything. Everyone is equal at the dinner table. If you hit me, I will hit your son, hehe." He Lai was not afraid at all. This is called one thing after another, the essence of Beast Fighting Chess.

When Xu Yang heard what He Lai said, he almost went crazy.

"You stole my meat and tried to hit me on the head. That's outrageous!"

But after thinking about He Lai's fighting ability, he still endured it and took a big bite of the steamed bun to vent his dissatisfaction.

"Haha, Old Man Xu, there's nothing you can do! Let's just drink." Old Man Zhou picked up his glass and clinked glasses with Old Man Xu.

Soon, Mrs. Xu brought out two more main dishes, which would definitely be enough for the meal this time.

Mrs. Xu still liked He Lai very much. At the dinner table, she kept picking food for him, saying nice things about him, and talking about He Lai's song, which almost made He Lai embarrassed.

Xu Yang was also jealous. His mother, who had always favored him, actually treated He Lai better than himself!

After dinner, Xu Yang ran out to hang out with his group of second-generation military children.

He Lai and Ye Jun sat next to the two old men and watched them play chess to kill time.
