Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

"Brother Lai, what are you doing?" After finishing his meal, Yu Shui saw He Lai cutting shrimp shells.

"Yushui, you don't understand, right? Brother Lai is adding nutrition to the old hen. It's this shrimp shell. Cut it into pieces and feed it to the chicken." He Lai answered while cutting.

Yu Shui squatted beside and watched, feeling very curious. Shrimp shells could also add nutrition to chickens, so he would have to eat more shrimps.

He Lai put the cut shrimp shells into corn flour, added water and stirred it, then fed it to the chickens.

"Yushui, what do you want to do this afternoon?" He Lai was also bored.

"I don't know either." Yushui didn't know what to do either.

"Then take a nap first. We'll talk after you wake up." He Lai was also sleepy, after all, he had been busy all morning. Yu Shui also felt sleepy when he heard this. They both went back to their rooms to sleep.

When he woke up again, He looked at his pocket watch and saw it was two o'clock. He washed his face and woke up Yu Shui again.

He Lai started his own journey of reading. The pressure of Chinese is getting greater and greater, and the traditional Chinese characters are becoming more and more complicated. He Lai is a little overwhelmed.

Although I know the general idea, the number of strokes is really amazing. Originally, a character only had ten strokes, but now it has twenty. It's hard to even think about it.

There is no other way, I still have to practice more. It never hurts to write more.

After washing his face with rain, he saw Lai Ge writing, so he sat down and wrote too.

In this way, the two of them kept writing. Although it was boring, the effect was remarkable. He Lai remembered the traditional Chinese characters of many words in a flash. When he stretched his waist, he saw Yu Shui also writing traditional Chinese characters. He suddenly felt that this little girl was working harder and harder.

I looked at my pocket watch and it was half past four, so I stood up, went to the kitchen to make two bowls of milk powder, and walked towards the rain.

"Yushui, drink a cup of milk powder first. It will refresh you. You have been sitting for more than two hours. Stand up and take a rest."

"Okay, come here, brother." Yu Shui stood up, took the milk powder and started drinking it.

After seeing that Yu Shui had finished drinking, he asked her to go wash her face. Yu Shui responded and left.

He Lai went to check the chicken coop again and saw two more eggs. He decided to leave them there for now as a sample.

He Lai and Yu Shui stretched their muscles in the yard. They felt uncomfortable after sitting for too long.

After they were completely well, they sat on the swings and waited for people to get off work.

Just when the two were having fun rocking, Wu Juan came back pushing a bicycle.

"Mom." Yu Shui hurried over and helped Wu Juan take the cloth bag from the basket.

"My dear daughter, what did you do today?" Wu Juan also spoke after touching the rain.

"Today, my brother took us to fish for eels, and then we went to the market to buy two kilograms of shrimp. For lunch, we had the shrimp steamed by my brother and the lunch box he sent us.

After dinner, I took a nap, and when I woke up, I started writing, and then my mother came back." Yu Shui walked with Wu Juan and talked.

"Yeah, that's great. Go help mom clean up the dishes."

……

He Lai was lying on the swing, thinking nonchalantly, it's March, May, February, March, it's almost there, it's almost there. I have to prepare more. The era of bills will come in more than a year.

After a while, Sha Zhu came back with Qin Huairu.

He Lai quickly got up and said, "Brother Zhuzi, sister-in-law, you are here."

"Hi, your sister-in-law said she was bored at home and wanted to talk to Aunt He." Sha Zhu said directly.

"Sister-in-law, are you going to give birth soon?"

"There's still a month left."

"Then why don't you take maternity leave?"

"Yes, I forgot that our director asked me to take maternity leave at that time. Zhuzi, please ask for it for me on Monday. My mind is really a mess now." Qin Huairu slapped her forehead.

Yes, I already have maternity leave, so why am I still going to work foolishly, forgetting that I can take nearly 2 months of maternity leave.

"Okay, I got it. I'll go on Monday. Xiao Laizi, you've helped Brother Zhuzi a lot. You don't know, but now when I pick up your sister-in-law, I dare not ride a bicycle. I always push it. I'm afraid someone will bump into me." Sha Zhu was also very happy.

"Brother Zhuzi, it's time for you to go to the countryside to pick up your mother-in-law." He Lai reminded again.

"Yes, yes, yes, I'll go tomorrow! Xiao Laizi, how can I live without you!" Sha Zhu hugged He Lai and started to cling to him. This made He Lai look down on him.

Qin Huairu also smiled and hit Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu prepared the meal at He Lai's house. After all, Sha Zhu brought a lunch box with him.

The meal was quickly finished and everyone started chatting again.

"Brother Zhuzi, do you like boys or girls?" He Lai asked deliberately.

"It's all fine. I like them all." Sha Zhu remained the same as always.

"Brother Zhuzi, have you thought of a name?" He Lai reminded.

"No, how about you come up with one, Xiao Laizi? You're so smart, you can definitely come up with a good name!"

"If you want me to name it, then let's call him He Xiaolai. He will be my little brother from birth, how nice."

"I think it's okay." Sha Zhu didn't care. He Xiaolai was not bad!

"Don't be silly. Naming is a big deal. Huairu Zhuzi should discuss it carefully. You can ask your father's opinion." Wu Juan spoke.

"Okay, Auntie."

"Sister Yushui, have you written a letter to your father?" He Lai asked.

"No, my brother read it to me. It was his reply letter." Yu Shui suddenly became depressed.

"Then come and teach you how to write a letter to your father tomorrow, okay?"

"Really? Thank you, brother." Yu Shui's eyes lit up instantly.

"Of course I will. Brother Lai is an expert in composition."

Soon the rain pulled He Lai to jump and dance.

"You two little guys..."

Wu Juan was also feeling emotional. She looked up at the roof, her thoughts drifting far away. When will you come back, boss?

……

"At the beginning, you should say dear father first, and then start a new line. How are you? I am the most lovely daughter, He Yushui..."

"How is it? Not bad, right?" He Lai said to Yu Shui while looking at the elegant page of paper.

"Then let's send it out." Yu Shui couldn't wait to send it to He Daqing.

"Don't worry, today is Sunday, and the postman also needs to take a day off.

So when your brother comes back from the countryside, have him ride his bicycle to put the letter in the mailbox. Put the letter in the envelope now. Then fill in your father's information. "

"The letter is in my room. I'll go get daddy's address." Yu Shui immediately ran to her own room to get her father's letter.

……

"When will brother come back?" Yu Shui had been waiting for the letter for the whole morning, and she kept asking this question while eating.

He Lai couldn't bear to watch any longer. "Yushui, you can ask your mother to take you there." He Lai pointed at Wu Juan who was chatting with Qin Huairu.

Yu Shui's eyes lit up, yes. She took the letter and went to act coquettishly with Wu Juan.

After a while, Wu Juan went out happily with the rain.

"Sister-in-law, let me touch my nephew." He Lai touched Qin Huairu's belly again.

"You." Qin Huairu didn't understand why He Lai always wanted to touch her belly.

He Lai said, "I am helping you, my sister Qin, please get rid of the white-eyed wolf stick! Otherwise, you will cry to death."
