Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

As the monkey's voice rang out, Gu Dongmei and Liu Lan both looked up and saw He Lai standing at the door not far away. They felt embarrassed, very embarrassed.

"Why are you yelling? You are the only one who talks too much every day. From now on, when you see me, don't talk. Do you hear me?"

He Lai slapped the monkey's forehead and cursed. He was just listening to gossip, but was interrupted by this kid again.

"I heard you, Uncle He. I know I was wrong." The monkey lowered his head and apologized obediently.

"Here, give it to your master! Ask him to cook it for lunch." After saying this, He handed the ingredients to him and left.

"Oh my God, I'm glad I didn't say anything just now. I was scared to death. How come these leaders walk without making any sound?" Liu Lan watched He Lai leave, patted his chest and exhaled.

"Look at how little you can do." Gu Dongmei said disdainfully, then turned to Monkey and said, "Monkey, bring your things over here so I can see what you have."

"This is not appropriate. My master will scold me." Monkey said with some embarrassment.

"Why are you scolding me? Believe it or not, I will say a few words to your master. Not only will he scold you, but I can also let him beat you!" Gu Dongmei snatched the bag and opened it to take a look.

"Oh my god, what a big lobster! And there are so many golden fish, is this the big yellow croaker?"

Gu Dongmei exclaimed.

Liu Lan quickly leaned over to take a look and said, "Sister Gu, wow, it's really a yellow croaker. I heard there are a lot of these fish in Zhejiang Province, and they taste delicious."

Gu Dongmei carefully took out a large yellow croaker, then returned the bag to Monkey and warned him, "Monkey, keep your mouth shut. If I find out that you dare to leak the information, you'll be in trouble."

Gu Dongmei still knew her limits, and instead of taking the lobster, she took a large yellow croaker. After all, the price of a lobster is much more expensive than a large yellow croaker in this era.

"This...this...this." The monkey was in such a difficult situation that he couldn't speak.

"Okay, there are so many fish, how can your master tell what's wrong? If you don't tell me and I don't tell you, he definitely won't know! At worst, I can give you a fish head when I get off work!"

After Gu Dongmei finished speaking, she took Liu Lan away and hid the fish first.

The monkey had no choice but to take the food to find He Daqing.

Things were exactly as Gu Dongmei said. He Daqing took the ingredients and didn't say much. After all, he didn't know how much He Lai gave him.

Usually He Lai would not come again after giving him the food, and lunch was also delivered to him by the monkey.

Soon He Lai also received the money for the pork from Li Huaide's secretary.

"Chief He, the price of wild boar meat is one yuan per pound. Don't think it's too little. After all, the meat supply has recovered a lot now. It's not as scarce as it was in previous years."

Secretary Liang explained.

Because it is no longer a difficult period, the price of pork is not as expensive as before, and the meat from Helai does not require a ticket, so the price is settled according to the steel mill's purchase price of one yuan per catty.

"How can that be? Everyone knows it. Don't worry about it."

He Lai naturally had no objection and accepted it casually.

Secretary Liang was relieved when he saw that He Lai didn't say anything. He then came over and whispered, "Chief He, Director Li asked me to ask you if you can hunt some good game. He is going to entertain some important people recently and is short of good food.

Don't worry, Director Li will pay a high price for these things!"

"Oh, what do you want? If it's not something special, I can think of a way."

He Lai asked.

"Look, everything is written on this paper. Just do what you want." Secretary Liang took out a piece of paper and gave it to He Lai.

He Lai took the paper and took a look. Most of them were things he had done during this period of time for He Daqing. It seemed that Li Huaide still had too many people under him.

"When do you want it?"

"About four or five days later, okay?"

"It should be fine."

"Then I would like to thank Section Chief He on behalf of Director Li."

"polite."

……

He looked at the list in his hand, which included venison, beef, mutton, and some freshwater fish, but no seafood.

It seems that Li Huaide is quite sensible. He may also think that these things were obtained by He Lai from the people in Jinshi, so he can naturally get them himself and there is no need to bother He Lai.

Fortunately, Li Huaide didn't ask for much, and He Lai didn't take it to heart, so he would just give him some when the time comes.

However, Li Huaide was also giving He Lai a warning. He wanted He Lai to know that he knew everything he did in the steel rolling mill. Don't think that just because Sha Zhu and He Daqing were the canteen directors, they could hide it from him, the deputy director. The canteen matters were still up to him, Li Huaide.

Seeing that it was almost time for lunch, Yu Shui cautiously stretched her neck to look into He Lai's office, lunch box in her hand.

Seeing this scene, He Lai walked over with a smile and said jokingly: "Oh, Lord Yushui actually came to deliver the meal in person today. What's the matter? Are you not angry anymore?" As he said that, he reached out and took the lunch box.

Yu Shui snorted in dissatisfaction, raised her head and replied proudly: "Humph, if mother hadn't pleaded for you, I wouldn't bother to pay attention to you!"

He Lai quickly coaxed him, "Okay, okay, I'm sorry. I know I was wrong. But you also know that I don't dare to do anything wrong in the steel mill. How can I do whatever you want?"

And being angry is not good for the baby in your belly, so don't be angry anymore, okay?" After saying that, he gently touched Yu Shui's belly.

After hearing what He Lai said, Yu Shui seemed to understand something and felt that he might have overreacted.

She lowered her head and said softly, "Brother Lai, am I being a little too unreasonable... Actually, I didn't mean it, it's just that sometimes when I get emotional, I really can't control myself..." Then, she slowly leaned her head on He Lai's shoulder.

He Lai looked at the emotional Yu Shui in front of him and suddenly felt helpless and distressed.

He sighed softly, put his hand on his forehead, and couldn't help sighing in his heart: It is said that pregnant women are emotionally unstable, prone to anxiety, anger, and sadness. Now it seems to be true.

He gently placed his hands on Yu Shui's face and whispered, "Okay, okay, silly girl, don't be sad. You are pregnant now, these are normal reactions, don't worry too much." After that, he gently stroked Yu Shui's hair, trying to calm her emotions.

After hearing what He Lai said, Yu Shui gradually calmed down. She raised her head, her eyes full of gratitude and love, and hugged He Lai tightly, choking with sobs and saying, "Brother Lai, you are so good to me. No matter what happens, you always tolerate me."

He Lai felt the embrace of the rain, and a surge of warmth and happiness surged in his heart. He smiled and responded, "Silly, we are husband and wife, and we will be together for the rest of our lives. We will walk hand in hand through the long years and grow old together."

After saying that, he patted Yu Shui's back gently to make her feel at ease.

After hearing what He Lai said, Yu Shui's eyes sparkled with tears of emotion and a happy smile appeared on her face. She nodded vigorously to show that she understood. Then, she hugged He Lai tightly again, enjoying this sweet moment.

……

It took a long time for Yu Shui to calm down, leave the office and return to the broadcasting room.

He Lai looked at the cold food in the lunch box. For a moment, he even suspected that the rain was intentional.

Fortunately, I have a space cheating tool. I can put the food in the space and heat it up a little, so I can still eat it hot.
