Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

Chapter 492 Tiger Whip Wine

"Mom, your son is back, why aren't you happy?"

He Lai said while eating noodles.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How can mother be unhappy?" Wu Juan glared at He Lai and said.

"Oh? Then why do you have such a sad face? Now that your son is back, you're too lazy to even smile." He Lai said speechlessly.

"Alright, alright, go to bed early after eating. Oh, and bring Wu'er over to sleep at your place for one night."

Wu Juan said.

When He Zhan heard this, his legs shook unconsciously.

"Uh... Mom, I just came back and you want me to take care of Wu'er? Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

He Lai suddenly became unhappy.

"What's wrong? Do you think it's unfair for me to take care of your own sister?" Wu Juan rolled her eyes at He Lai.

"No grievance, no grievance, Xi'er, have you finished eating? I'm leaving after eating."

He Lai finished the last mouthful of noodle soup, stood up and said to Xier.

Upon hearing this, Xier immediately quickened the pace at which she drank the soup.

He Lai walked up to He Zhan and took Wu'er from his arms.

He Lai seemed to understand something from He Zhan's reluctant eyes. So that's it!

"Dad, I have a jar of tiger whip wine! I'll bring it to you someday. It's super nutritious!"

He Lai patted He Zhan on the shoulder, said something, and left.

He Zhan looked embarrassed, but his son still saw through him. Wu Juan, on the other hand, looked very proud.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night!

……

He Lai had a nightmare. He dreamed that he was being tortured. The torturer didn't ask He Lai any questions, but just slapped him in the face.

He Lai opened his eyes with difficulty and saw Wu'er's little face staring at him! Her two little hands were patting He Lai's face.

He Lai now understood why he had such a dream. The source was here.

He Lai pulled the little girl off him and hit her little butt.

Wu'er was slapped and felt the pain immediately. Her happy face immediately turned from sunny to cloudy! Tears started to flow and she was about to cry loudly.

When He Lai saw this, he secretly thought that he had gone too far and immediately took out a dragon fruit from the space and gave it to her, just enough to block her mouth.

When Wu'er ate the sweet fruit, she stopped crying immediately. She held the dragon fruit with both hands and started eating.

Fortunately, if Wu Juan knew that I made my little sister cry, she would definitely nag me again.

He Lai simply left Wu'er on the bed to eat dragon fruit, so let the quilt get dirty.

While Wu'er's attention was on the dragon fruit, he slipped into the space, washed up, and left the bedroom.

Xier has already gotten up and is playing with the two puppies outside with Nannan.

The two puppies are not small now, almost half the height of Nannan and the others.

"Okay, stop playing, wash your hands, and go out with me for breakfast." He Lai called.

"I got it. Come here, uncle (brother)." When Xier and Nannan heard He Lai's voice, they immediately ran into the house and washed their hands.

In this way, He Lai took the two kids, two dogs, and a sister who was his enemy to the snack stand.

He Lai was eating buns when he heard a voice behind him.

"Come on, uncle."

He Lai turned around and saw that it was Da Mao and Er Mao. He quickly waved and motioned them to come over.

"Well, are you two getting ready for school? Come over here and eat something with uncle."

Upon hearing this, Da Mao and Er Mao ran over.

He Lai ordered two big meat buns for each of them.

"Nannan, Xier, this is your big brother Da Mao and your second brother Er Mao, hurry up and call them."

He Lai greeted.

"Hello, Brother Damao, Hello, Brother Ermao." Nannan and Xier shouted immediately.

"Hello, sisters." Da Mao and Er Mao also replied.

He Lai patted their two little heads with satisfaction.

"Uncle Lai, is this child your daughter?" Damao asked curiously, looking at Wu'er in He Lai's arms.

"No, this is Uncle Lai's biological sister!" He Lai said with a smile.

"Ah?" Da Mao was suddenly confused and didn't know what to call.

"Silly boy, what are you thinking about in your little head? Just call Wu'er sister!" He Lai naturally knew what Damao was thinking.

"Got it, come here, uncle." Damao smiled and continued to eat buns with his head down.

Soon, Da Mao and Er Mao finished eating, said goodbye, and ran towards the school.

Then, Xiao Yangzi and Bang Geng also came over, and He Lai gave them two buns as well.

After He Lai and his companions finished their breakfast, they started walking in the alley and staggered back to the courtyard.

When I arrived at Sha Zhu's house, I saw Qin Jingru holding Feng'er and feeding her, and Meng'er was eating yesterday's durian next to her.

"Oh, our sister Jingru is very busy." He Lai joked.

"Come here, brother." Qin Jingru called out with a smile.

"Oh, the sun rose from the west today, and sister Jingru will take the initiative to call people." He Lai joked.

Qin Jingru blushed immediately.

When Wu'er saw the durian in Meng'er's hand, her hands immediately became restless and she wanted to reach out to take it.

Seeing this, He Lai had no choice but to take out a piece of chocolate and hand it to Qin Jingru, saying, "Go get a piece of durian for my sister."

"Okay, come here, brother." Qin Jingru took the chocolate and ran to the kitchen immediately.

Soon Wu'er also had a piece of durian in her hand.

The central courtyard suddenly became lively because of the arrival of He Lai and his companions. Several children were playing with two puppies in the open space. Even Wu'er came out to play. She was almost one and a half years old, but she had already learned to trot. She was really a monster!

An old lady heard the noise and came out holding Yi Xiaobao.

Yi Xiaobao, supported by an old lady, walked unsteadily beside a group of children.

Judging from Yi Xiaobao's condition, he probably can't walk very well yet, and the aunt follows him closely, which shows how much she dotes on him.

On the other hand, Feng'er from Sha Zhu's family could already walk several meters on her own. As soon as Qin Jingru let go of her hand, she walked towards He Lai.

Soon more and more people gathered in the central courtyard. Those who were washing clothes, sewing shoe soles, and taking care of children all came out. However, Jia Zhang did not come out. She was probably still sleeping.

"Xiao Laizi, is Guangcheng fun?" asked an aunt from the Central Courtyard.

"It's okay. It's not as cold over there as here in Sijiu City. Some people there are still wearing vests!" He said.

"Really? Then they save cotton. You see, it's very cold here in November. I even made my children wear cotton jackets yesterday." The aunt said in surprise.

"That way they can worry less. It's not like us. Cotton is so hard to buy right now. I've started taking apart my old cotton-padded jackets. Otherwise, when my children grow up, they won't have anything to wear."

Another aunt said.

"That's right. There are four people in my family, and the cotton coupons we get each year are just a few, not even enough to make a cotton jacket."

Someone said again.

A group of middle-aged women immediately started talking about cotton.

He Lai thought that was true. It seemed that he had to grow some cotton, otherwise many people would have a hard time this winter.
