Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

Chapter 645 Leaving City 49

Wu Juan and He Zhan also discussed it for a long time, and sometimes they would pull He Lai and Yu Shui to talk about it together.

Finally, they decided to go to Hong Kong together. One of the most important factors that made Wu Juan determined was that the children could not go to school now! Classes were suspended nationwide to carry out sports.

In Wu Juan's heart, she still thinks that children must study, otherwise how will they survive when they grow up if they are uneducated.

Things were much easier to handle after that. He Zhan and Wu Juan were responsible for explaining the matter to Mr. He and the others. Of course, they only told them that they were going to Guangcheng, and did not say that they were going to Gangcheng.

He Lai went to Guangcheng to find Mr. Zhou and told him what happened.

Old Master Zhou did not refuse He Lai. He also knew the current situation in the country. Many people had been dealt with. Even he was almost dragged out. Fortunately, he had retired and was old, so he escaped.

Soon, Mr. Zhou got two job transfer letters for He Lai. With these, He Lai could transfer his family from Sijiu City to Guangcheng, and He Zhan and He Lai could get idle positions in a less busy department.

When He Lai came back from Guangcheng, He Zhan and Wu Juan also came back from Hejia Village with their children.

"Xiao Laizi, is everything done?" Wu Juan asked.

"Well, mother, don't worry, it's done. Dad and I can go to the steel mill to handle the formalities when the time comes."

As He said this, he took out two letters from his bag and gave them to He Zhan.

"Okay, leave the letter with me first, and we'll go do it after you've made the arrangements."

He Zhan said.

"Xiao Laizi, what should we do with this house?" Wu Juan asked again.

"Mom, my house was rented to me by the street office, so I have to return it to the office. Your house is our own, so we can rent it to Brother Zhuzi or Brother Damao.

As for the furniture and other things, let’s distribute them to the people in the yard.”

He Lai suggested.

"You kid, you're such a spendthrift! This house is decorated so nicely, and you're just going to give it to someone else for free? And there are so many things you just throw away!" Wu Juan rolled her eyes at He Lai and said angrily.

Yu Shui whispered a few words into Wu Juan's ear. After hearing it, Wu Juan no longer objected. She just looked at He Lai strangely and didn't say anything else.

……

In the following days, He Lai completed the transfer procedures and bid farewell to those people in the old city who were familiar with him, such as those in the orphanage, Fengze Garden, and his grandparents.

Soon, the people in the courtyard also learned that He Lai's family was going to Guangcheng, and they were all shocked.

Sha Zhu, Xu Damao and others ran over immediately to ask what was going on.

"Xiao Laizi, what are you thinking? It's not good to stay in Sijiu City. Why go to Guangcheng?"

Sha Zhu was the first to object. He had gotten used to He Lai nagging him over the years, and couldn't understand why He Lai wanted to leave Sijiu City.

"Brother Zhuzi, Mr. Zhou's condition has worsened. I have to go over there to treat him. I think I'll be gone for a long time, so my mother and the others plan to settle down there for a while."

He Lai repeated his original statement.

When Sha Zhu heard that Mr. Zhou was ill, he couldn't say anything to keep him, but he was still reluctant to let He Lai go.

"Xiao Laizi, how long have you been gone? When will you be back?" Xu Damao asked.

"That's hard to say. Maybe he'll be back in a year or two. It depends on the specific situation."

He Lai said perfunctorily. He didn't want to tell them more about this matter. After all, the fewer people who knew about it, the better.

"Okay, there's still the Canton Fair. I'll come to see you when I have time."

Xu Damao nodded and said.

"Brother Lai, then you'd better come back early." Hu Zi continued.

"Well, you should find a partner quickly. If you can't find one, just marry Jingru."

He Lai smiled.

Hu Zi was embarrassed again. It was not that he didn't want to marry Qin Jingru, but he didn't know how to start the conversation.

……

Afterwards, He Lai gave them all the things in the house one by one, and said that the furniture could be taken away after he left. After all, He Lai didn't know to whom the street office would rent it, so it would be better to give it to them instead of giving it to strangers.

There's nothing to be embarrassed about. These pieces of furniture were basically purchased by He Lai himself, so he has the right to deal with them.

As for Wu Juan's house, it is rented to the residents in the courtyard. After all, none of them are well-off. For example, Xu Damao's family has many children, so they can only be sent to Xu Fugui's hometown to be taken care of, which is very inconvenient.

Wu Juan only had one request, which was not to damage the house, after all, she didn't know when she would be back.

The rain also pulled her group of little sisters along and gave them many of the things she could not take away, such as clothes, radios, bicycles, and many more.

Things went smoothly, and Li Huaide did not make things difficult for He Lai and his son. After all, they had known each other for so many years and he and He Lai had a good cooperation. He just tried to keep him symbolically, but when he saw that He Lai was determined to leave, he did not stop him. He was more concerned about how to make money now.

During the past six months, he has seized many capitalists and plundered a lot of property.

In fact, He Lai really wanted to find an opportunity to wipe out his lair. After all, it was all ill-gotten gains. But after thinking about it, he gave up. He didn't lack it, so there was no need to go through so much trouble for this little money.

On the day of leaving, many people came to see me off, almost everyone who should have come came.

The people living in the yard include Sha Zhu's family, Xu Damao's family, Sun Daniang's family, and other people, as well as Liang Ladi and her family, Song Xue and her family, and so on.

Zhang Zhiwen gave the sleeper ticket to He Lai, and also returned the two golden eagles to He Lai.

He Lai took the sleeper ticket and the golden eagle, feeling grateful. He put his arm around Zhang Zhiwen's shoulders and said, "Brother Zhiwen, thank you very much."

"Why thank you? We'll meet again someday. This golden eagle has given birth to cubs anyway. Otherwise, do you think my mother-in-law would be willing to give it back to you?"

Zhang Zhiwen laughed.

"See you in Guangcheng later!"

"See you in Guangcheng!"

Soon the train arrived at the station, and the He Lai family took the three sisters, including Da Niu, on the train. Oh, and by the way, there was also a Labrador, which He Lai put in a sack and held in his hand. He Zhan also had a birdcage in his hand, which contained two golden eagles.

He Lai still wanted to take the three sisters of Da Niu away. After all, they still had to go to Gangcheng to find their father. This was what He Lai had promised them before.

The train started moving slowly. The Helai family looked out the window at the people who came to see them off, their eyes full of reluctance.

Sha Zhu and his friends almost couldn't hold back their tears as they watched the train go away. They could only express their reluctance by waving their hands. After more than ten years of getting along, they had already regarded He Lai as their backbone. Now that He Lai was gone, they felt empty inside.

……

Soon He Lai and his family arrived in Guangcheng, and it was Mr. He who came to pick them up personally.

"Grandpa Zhou!" Wu'er was the first to throw herself into Grandpa Zhou's arms. After all, the two of them already had a deep revolutionary relationship.

"Oh my, Grandpa's little ancestor, I miss Grandpa Zhou so much!"

Mr. Zhou picked up Wu'er and said lovingly.

Compared to Wu'er's casualness, Wu Juan and the others were much more nervous. Even He Zhan stood up straight. After all, Mr. Zhou's level was there.

"Let's go, let's go back and talk, let's go back and talk." After saying this, Mr. Zhou carried Wu'er and left first.

Then the guard followed with He Lai and his family.

Mr. Zhou had thought of everything and brought two jeeps, which were big enough for He Lai and his group.

After arriving at Mr. Zhou's house, He Lai and He Zhan immediately asked someone to take them to handle household registration and job matters.

Old Mrs. Zhou took Wu Juan and Yu Shui to arrange the rooms, and the children were left in the care of Old Man Zhou and Ke'er.
