Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

After work, He Lai took Wu'er, who insisted on following him, to Fengze Garden.

Master Hu and the others were also very happy to see Wu'er beside He Lai.

Because Wu'er always behaved very well in front of these old people, they would call Master Hu and the others "Grandpa" and they would cook for Wu'er themselves.

"Xiao Laizi, when will you bring your precious daughter over to see me?"

Master Hu asked.

"Next year, he's too young now, and it's almost winter, so children get sick easily. I'm sorry, Master."

He Lai explained.

"It's okay, it's okay. In the blink of an eye, you've become a father. I still remember when you were a child, about the same age as Wu'er, and you came to our Fengze Garden every day. At that time, you were more talkative than this little girl. You liked to eat this and that every day. Every time you came, you had to take several dishes from me."

Master Hu sighed.

"Master, what's wrong with you? I haven't seen you for a few days. Why are you still reminiscing about the past?" He Lai teased.

"What else can he do? Your master is old and wants to retire." Master Zheng interjected at this time.

"Ah?" He Lai looked at Master Hu in confusion.

"What are you looking at? I'm almost 60 years old. Isn't it normal to retire?"

Master Hu glared at He Lai.

He Lai turned around and thought, yes, He Daqing is now over 50 years old, and Master Hu is indeed old. Moreover, the job of a chef is already quite strenuous, and he naturally can't do it when he gets older.

"Then why are you planning to retire, Master? Do you want your disciple to take care of you in your old age, hehe."

He Lai joked.

"Go to hell, I have my own son, I don't need a monkey like you."

Master Hu said unhappily.

"Well, Master, since you are about to retire, should I take Master Zheng as my master? Otherwise, I will have no master in Fengze Garden in the future."

"Go to hell, you traitor to your teacher and ancestors."

"I can't hit it..."

……

After a flurry of activity in the kitchen, Wu'er finished her delicious meal and took away two lunch boxes just like He Lai did when he was a child.

Before leaving, Master Hu asked him to send more good things over, after all, there would be less and less of them in the future.

He Lai naturally agreed and said that he would deliver food to them every week.

On the way back, Wu'er hugged He Lai's neck and asked, "Brother, did you often come to Grandpa Hu's place when you were a child?"

"Yes, at that time, your eldest brother, your brother Damao and your brother Zhuzi, went to Fengze Garden every day. At that time, ..."

He Lai told Wu'er about the time when he and Xu Damao sold fish when they were young.

Wu'er's eyes lit up when she heard this.

"Okay, don't have any bad ideas. If I find out you dare to run to the lake, I will break your legs, understand?"

He Lai warned.

"That's not fair. Why can my eldest brother go when he was younger, but I can't? I don't want to go. I want to go too."

"How old are you now? My elder brother went there when he was nine years old, and he was taken there by your brothers Zhuzi and Damao. What are you, a five-year-old girl, doing?!"

"Then take me fishing, bro."

"Brother has to go to work."

"Just go after get off work."

"It's cold now."

"I'm not afraid of the cold."

"Brother is afraid."

……

Finally, the two of them agreed that they would take Wu'er to walk the same path that He Lai walked when she was a child when she was eight years old.

After all, when Wu'er is eight years old, He Lai will probably be in Hong Kong City.

When we arrived at the entrance of Siheyuan Hutong, we saw Jia Dongxu and his wife walking on the road.

Although Jia Dongxu was fitted with a prosthesis, the quality of the prosthesis was not very good and it could not withstand too much pressure. He still needed the help of a crutch to walk and he walked very slowly.

Because Jia Dongxu lost his right leg, he could not do his locksmith work as well as before, so he was directly assigned to a simple and easy workstation by their workshop director.

This means that the highest he can do at the steel mill is to be a fourth-level worker.

However, Jia Zhang and Zhang Guihua did not complain about anything, especially Zhang Guihua. She would send Jia Dongxu to work every day, and then go to work at the street office. After get off work, she would let Jia Dongxu wait for her at the steel mill.

Over time, the two became a model couple, loving each other and making many workers in the steel mill envious. After all, who doesn't want to be picked up and dropped off by their wife every day?

He Lai looked at Zhang Guihua supporting Jia Dongxu as they walked in front, and he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

So people can still change as long as their lives get better.

Maybe the Jia family is still selfish, but at least they won't do anything messy on the surface.

He Lai didn't even say hello to them and walked straight into Yard 94.

Unfortunately, as soon as Wu'er got off her bike, she ran back to Yard 95 with her lunch box, probably to share her delicious food with her friends.

He Lai didn't stop him and went home.

At this time, Yu Shui had just finished feeding He Tong and was chatting with Wu Juan.

"Where is Wu'er? Didn't she go out with you?" Wu Juan looked behind He Lai and asked.

"I went to play next door and had dinner at Fengze Garden." He Lai explained.

"Oh, as long as you've had dinner." Wu Juan didn't ask any more questions and focused on coaxing He Tong in her arms.

"Come on, brother. Mom said that she will take Tongtong to sleep next door from now on." Yu Shui said.

"Oh? Mom, is this true?" He Lai's eyes lit up and he asked. His mother had a change of heart!

Wu Juan glanced at He Lai and said, "Yes, look at what you have accomplished."

"Haha." He Lai smiled awkwardly. Was it too obvious? But when he thought about it, Yu Shui was his wife. He had occupied Wu Juan for so long, it was time to return her to him.

As for her daughter, if Wu Juan wants to take her with her, then let her do it. After all, compared to her own happiness, nothing else is important.

At night, after taking a shower, He Lai couldn't wait to get into Yu Shui's bed and hugged Yu Shui tightly.

"Finally my mother has left. I've been missing her so much these days."

Just as He Lai finished speaking and was about to take the next step, an inopportune voice rang out.

"Brother! What are you doing!"

Wu'er emerged from behind the rain and looked at He Lai.

"Uh, Wu'er, why are you here? Go to sleep next door!" He Lai said speechlessly. He had clearly put her next door, so how come she appeared in his bed?

"No, I haven't heard the story yet!"

"What story are you listening to? Go back to sleep!" He Lai said with a stern face.

"No, big brother is the worst, I just want to listen to the story." Wu'er started to throw a tantrum.

He Lai had no choice but to comfort her, "So what story do you want to hear?"

"I want to listen to Meiyangyang's story!" Wu'er burst into laughter.

"Okay..." He Lai had no choice but to tell Wu'er a story about the green prairie. As he was telling the story, he found that Wu'er had fallen asleep.

Only then did he feel relieved. He carefully carried Wu'er to the next room, and then returned to Yu Shui.

"This little guy is really troublesome." He Lai said with a smile.

Yu Shui looked at him tenderly and said, "Brother Lai, do you think Tong Tong will be like Wu Er in the future, pestering you every day and asking you to tell her stories?"

"Tongtong, let her grandmother talk to her. Let's go to bed."

"Come on, slow down...
