Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

This time of hunting, Xiaohu and his friends only caught a few wild rabbits and didn't gain anything else. Fortunately, nothing happened.

"Hey, there was originally a wild boar! What a pity, what a pity, it was snatched away by the wolves."

He Zhong was still sighing.

It turned out that they hit a big wild boar, but did not kill it completely. The wild boar took them into the mountains. Later, they didn't know whether it was the smell of blood that attracted the wolves, which led to the subsequent situation.

Hunters these days all know that it is best not to provoke wolves easily, because if you accidentally hurt a wolf, it will attract crazy revenge from the wolf pack, which may cause unrest among the villagers.

Therefore, when hunters encounter a pack of wolves, they usually choose to shoot into the air in an attempt to scare them away, and they will not shoot wild wolves unless it is absolutely necessary.

"Uncle, don't think about it. Coming back safely is more important than anything else. As for the wild boar, we can catch it next time."

He Lai smiled and comforted.

When Sha Zhu and Xu Damao heard that there were wolves, they broke out in cold sweats. Fortunately, they listened to He Lai and did not follow them in. Otherwise, they didn’t have guns and who knows what would happen if they went in!

On the way back to Hejia Village, the few of them agreed to keep their story a secret and chose to conceal the fact that they encountered a pack of wolves in the mountains, as they did not want to cause their families to worry too much.

When He Lai and his companions returned to Sijiu City, they only brought back some wild rabbits.

But that night, a pack of wolves entered Hejia Village and left a pile of prey in front of Grandpa He's house.

It seems that they chose this way to repay their gratitude.

The next morning, when Mrs. He opened the gate, she found the prey on the ground and quickly woke up Mr. He.

When Mr. He saw so many prey on the ground, he was stunned and realized that something was wrong.

Hurry up and call He Zhong and others over.

After carefully examining the wounds of the prey, they realized that they were all bitten to death by wild wolves.

"Dad, actually we encountered a pack of wolves in the mountains yesterday, and they robbed us of a wild boar. I didn't expect these guys to be so kind and send us so many preys."

He Zhong smiled.

"You idiot! What do you know? Wolves are not so kind as to give you prey for no reason! This is obviously to repay a favor! What have you done for the wolf pack? You are such a brainless thing!

"Xiaohu, tell me, what happened yesterday? Why did the wolf pack come to repay their gratitude?"

Old Master He glared at He Zhong and asked Xiaohu to tell him what happened yesterday.

Xiaohu did not hide anything and told everything that happened yesterday.

After listening to this, Mr. He guessed that He Lai might have taken care of the wolf pack. At least He Lai should have known this group of wolves, otherwise there was no reason why the wolves retreated as soon as He Lai left and even sent prey as compensation at night.

"Okay, don't go hunting in the mountains these days, and don't tell anyone about this, okay?"

Mr. He ordered.

"Dad, what about Xiaohu and his team's purchasing mission? The steel mill is still waiting for their pork!"

He Zhong reminded.

"You just think about these things all day long! Don't think I don't know that all you can think about is the money from selling pork! Get out of here!"

Mr. He kicked He Zhong and cursed.

He Zhong curled his lips, took a small stool and sat farther away from Grandpa He, and said nothing more.

Mr. He continued, "Xiao Hu, Xiao Laizi will naturally help the steel mill. You don't have to worry about it. Just send some pheasants and rabbits over when the time comes."

"Okay, grandpa, I understand." Xiaohu nodded.

……

Our comrade He Lai naturally didn't know about these things and was still slacking off in the office.

But after a while, the office door was slowly opened, revealing a row of little heads.

He took a look and saw, from top to bottom, they were Yu Shui, Nan Nan, Xi Er, and Wu Er.

"Brother!" Wu'er rushed over as soon as she saw He Lai, and climbed into He Lai's arms through his trouser legs.

"How did you get here?" He Lai protected Wu'er with his hands and asked Yu Shui.

"Mother brought them here. She said she missed the people from the steel mill and wanted to come over to catch up."

Rainwater laughed.

"Oh, what about the lady?"

"Mom is holding Wen'er and chatting with the aunties in the First Canteen!"

"Oh, then let mom chat there."

He Lai took out a box of snacks from the drawer for Wu'er, and also gave one box to Nannan and Xier.

"Brother Lai, where is mine?" Yu Shui asked somewhat unhappily.

"Uh... Yushui, you're already this old, why are you still eating snacks? Besides, you have plenty of snacks at home, just go home and get them."

He Lai said with amusement.

There's nothing I can do. This little girl has been living at Chun'er's place for almost a week and hasn't come back. I can only remind her.

"Hmph, I don't want to eat anymore." Yu Shui said, and walked away without looking back.

He Lai is not angry. If you have the ability, don’t come back!

The office suddenly became noisy with the arrival of the girls.

He Lai had no choice but to take them out of the office building and to the open space outside to let them play with the children from the steel mill.

Looking at the little girl Wu'er running and shouting among the group of children, He Lai suddenly found it very funny. The little girl was really naughty.

It was not until almost time for dinner that He Lai took the three children to the first cafeteria to find Wu Juan.

He Lai hasn't been to the No. 1 cafeteria for a long time. There is no Sha Zhu or He Daqing here, but most people still know He Lai.

Seeing He Lai enter the kitchen, the chefs and aunties came up to greet him.

Wu Juan sat there watching all this with a smile. Her smile was as if she were really like an empress dowager, her face full of satisfaction.

"Mom, are you going to eat here or go to Brother Zhuzi's place?"

He Lai walked up to Wu Juan and asked.

"I'll eat here. Looking at the food here reminds me of how you acted like a spoiled child in my arms when you were little. At that time, I boasted to them every day that I had a promising child."

Wu Juan said with a smile.

"Mom, if you want to go back to work at the steel mill, your son can help you get in!" He said.

"Mom! Go to work, go to work!" Wu'er also shouted from the side.

"Why are you going to work? Wen'er and Wu'er are having fun!" Wu Juan refused directly.

"Haha, mom, with Wu'er like this, even if you're not at work, she'll still be having fun!"

He Lai continued.

"It's all because of you, the big brother, who has taken good care of us! Look how well-behaved Wen'er is in my arms!"

Wu Juan said angrily.

"Uh...eat, eat, I'll go get you some food." Seeing that Wu Juan brought up this issue again, He Lai immediately got up and went to find someone to get you some food.

The canteen monitor also gave He Lai face and specially prepared a few bowls of dishes for He Lai, and put them in the kitchen lounge for He Lai and others to eat there.

Wu Juan couldn't stay idle, so she handed Wen'er to He Lai and went out with her lunch box to eat with the aunties in the cafeteria. Nothing could stop her from chatting.

He Lai is now in good shape, with Wu'er on the left and Wen'er on the right! Fortunately, Nannan and Xi'er are helping, otherwise Wu'er will be naughty again.

There was no way Wu'er was jealous of Wen'er. She thought Wu Juan was partial to Wen'er and gave all her love to him. Now she wanted to share He Lai's favor, so she naturally hated him.

He Lai came and saw Wu'er pouting, so he could only hold her in his arms and feed her. Wen'er was asked to be taken care of by Nannan and Xier.

After the meal, Wu Juan had forgotten about them and started serving food to the workers at the canteen's serving window.
