Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

"Student He Lai, what are you writing?" Liu Shiya looked at He Lai who was writing furiously.

"I'm writing in my diary. You don't want to peek at me, do you?" He Lai said, covering the notebook.

"Bah, who wants to watch!" Liu Shiya glared at He Lai angrily.

After a while, Liu Shiya asked again: "Why don't you write at home?"

"I have work to do at home, and it will be dark when I finish." He Lai continued to make up stories.

“Why do you keep a diary?”

"Because keeping a diary will improve my writing skills."

"Then why haven't I seen you write before?"

"I always write when you go out to play."

Liu Shiya is so angry!

……

"Master, come on, I have something good to show you. Let's go to the backyard!" He Lai deliberately said loudly.

"Okay, okay, okay, don't be anxious, the tea is spilled!" Master Hu hurried to catch up.

Master Zheng's mouth twisted. He was going to carry himself on his back. He had to come up with something! He stood up, tied on his apron and went to the stove.

"Tofu stuffed with meat, lotus root stuffed with meat, um, not bad, not bad."

“Go out there and try.”

……

"Xiao Laizi, this is the dish that the master cooked for you personally, nine-turn large intestine and braised prawns." Master Zheng's eldest apprentice handed over two lunch boxes.

He Lai took it with a smile. "Thank you, Master Zheng. Master Zheng is so nice."

He Lai said that the steps have been given and we must go down.

Master Hu saw that something was not right, and since this was his apprentice, he also fried a fish-flavored eggplant and added the previous two dishes, pig's trotters and lion's head.

He Lai left with five lunch boxes, feeling satisfied.

……

"Xiao Laizi, your brother Damao really envies you for getting so many dishes every day."

"Hey, no big deal, let's eat together today."

……

Wu Juan was still chatting with Qin Huairu. Seeing He Lai holding five lunch boxes, her eyes twitched. Are all the chefs in this big restaurant crazy? There are more and more every day!

Forget it, forget it. Just let him be. After all, it's not easy to get angry after taking money from my own son.

"Brother Damao, prepare some food and send it to Aunt Sun."

"Row!"

Forget about the others. After all, Aunt Sun's family is in financial difficulty.

……

Qin Huairu's appetite also began to improve. Alas, marrying Sha Zhu was the best thing she had ever done in her life. She was so happy. This life... I won't talk about it anymore. What kind of life was it that she lived in the countryside?

Because Qin Huairu was pregnant, everyone took care of her.

He Lai and Xiao Yu Shui were also enjoying the meal. He Lai didn't want to chew the pig's trotters anymore, as the nine-turn large intestines were more delicious! The pig's trotters were given to Xiao Yu Shui and her mother and daughter to chew.

Sha Zhu and Xu Damao were still self-aware and knew that now was not the time for them to eat a lot. They had to wait until their ancestors had finished eating before it was their turn to eat.

The people had clear division of labor. Wu Juan took Qin Huairu to explain some tips about pregnancy, He Lai took Xiao Yushui to help digest food in the yard, Sha Zhu and Xu Damao were frantically eating, and they would have to wash the dishes and clean up later.

Life in a compound is so comfortable.

At Yi Zhonghai's house, since he knew that Jia Dongxu's wife Zhang Guihua was pregnant, Yi Zhonghai's face became more and more gloomy. What did Jia Zhang bring back from the countryside? How dare she do such a thing! In previous years, this would have been put into a pig cage. How dare she!

Aunt Yi is now living day by day. Every time she brings food back, He Lai and Xiao Yu Shui will secretly give her some delicious food. All kinds of food, the kind that the two little ones will be unhappy if they don't eat. Forget it, just live like this and don't think about anything else.

Aunt Yi also didn't like staying at the deaf old lady's house. She knew that it was the deaf old lady who instigated Yi Zhonghai to do many things. It's not about hatred, but she was useless and couldn't give birth to a child, which was a huge sin.

At the home of the deaf old lady, the deaf old lady was slumped in a rocking chair, with no way out. When she went out, few people recognized her. She was just someone else's concubine, a canary kept by others. Her bound feet could not go out and could not walk very far. Forget it, forget it. If she was less troubled, she might still be able to live a better life. If she continued to be troubled, she might not live for many more years. Now she should pretend to be deaf and dumb. Those who can hear should listen, and those who cannot hear should just let it go.

……

Wherever I am, there is the palace, then the music starts, then the dance starts

……

"Brother Damao, be obedient and let's not compete. We have won anyway. Besides, the possibility of losing this time is more likely." He Lai hurriedly persuaded Xu Damao.

Xu Damao thought about it and slowed down quickly.

When Sha Zhu saw He Lai trying to persuade Xu Damao, he became anxious and wanted to make up for the defeat from last time.

"Yushui, are you afraid of your brother riding so fast on the road?" He Lai used a roundabout tactic.

"afraid."

"Next time your brother does this, we won't ride in his car, okay? Look at the thick layer of cotton cloth on the front bumper of Damao's car, while your brother's is only a thin layer."

"Yushui, don't listen. I'll slow down, definitely slow down." Shazhu surrendered.

The four of them came to the shore of Shichahai again, looking for an empty seat.

After walking for quite a while, they finally saw no one around, so they quickly set up a bait spot. Xu Damao rode his bicycle to set up the hooks.

He Lai found that more and more people were coming to Sijiu City. No one wanted to stay at home on weekends, and they all wanted to find something to eat, so they all wanted to go fishing by the river to see if they could catch anything. One fish was enough to eat.

He Lai also felt that the fish were becoming less and less, and he thought he should find another way out.

What can we do in this era? We can't just follow others and go hunting in the mountains! Think about it.

"Come on, brother. Come on, brother."

"Ah...ah..."

Coming back to his senses, he saw Xiao Yushui pulling his arm, "What's wrong? Yushui."

"Fish, the float is gone."

He Lai saw something great... He quickly lifted the rod, and it was a two-jin carp, not bad.

He Lai stopped fishing and lay on the grass with a little rain on his face. He thought about what he could do while watching Tik Tok.

Suddenly I remembered that fishing for yellow eels seems to be good. I often see it on Douyin. The big baby and the water monkey can catch one accurately. It's worth a try!

He Lai suddenly sat up. But he didn't have time, so he lay down again. It was too hard, he had to study, he really wanted to skip classes, but he could come and play on Saturdays and Sundays. He Lai sat up again, it was time to ask Liu Haizhong for the wire, hehe He Lai laughed out loud.

Xiao Yushui watched He Lai sit up, lie down, sit up again, and start laughing again. Xiao Yushui was a little confused. Was her brother hysterical?

"Brother Lai, what's wrong with you? Why don't we go see a doctor?" Xiao Yushui became worried about He Lai.

"It's okay, it's okay, Yushui, come on, brother will teach you something fun?"

"playing what?"

"I'll tell you in secret!" He Lai put his mouth close to Xiao Yushui's ear and whispered a few words.

……

"Rainwater, are you ready?"

"Ah."

"Ready... throw!"

He saw Xiao Yushui's stone fall into Sha Zhu's fishing spot. Sha Zhu was furious. He saw Xiao Yushui's action and the stone in He Lai's hand, and understood it in an instant. He put down the fishing rod and prepared to get up and chase.

He Lai threw away the stone and ran with Xiao Yushui. In this way, the three of them played the game of "Eagle Catches Chicken" on the grass.

Xu Damao caught a crucian carp and looked back.

"childish!"
