Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

Chapter 398 Brother Tiger

After a while, Xiu'er's cold recovered and she was eating dragon fruit in He Lai's arms.

Damao and the others could only look on with envy. There was nothing they could do as they couldn't eat enough of the dragon fruit. It was so delicious. Unfortunately, Liang Ladi didn't allow them to eat it.

At this time, Nan Yi and Dawa also came back, and they actually caught two wild rabbits.

Nan Yi was originally very excited, but when he saw He Lai was there, his face suddenly fell. He knew that the value of his rabbit had been instantly lowered by He Lai.

"Hey, Nan Yi, what do you mean? You don't welcome me, right? Then I'm leaving?"

He Lai smiled bitterly.

"No, welcome, welcome, just wait, I'll cook for you."

Nan Yi forced a smile, replied, and carried the rabbit into the kitchen.

Liang Ladi and Ding Qiunan couldn't help laughing again. After all, they both understood what happened to Nan Yi. Nan Yi's limelight was stolen by He Lai.

Soon, Damao also called Xiaocao, and everyone had a big meal together.

Then He Lai set out for Hejia Village.

"Grandpa, grandpa, what are you doing here?"

He Lai saw Grandpa He, Grandpa Wu and a group of old men standing at the entrance of the village chatting, so he asked.

"Xiao Laizi, go home first. Your grandma is at home. We are waiting for the wild boar!"

Mr. He replied.

"What? Waiting for wild boars? What's going on!" He Lai stopped his bicycle and asked in confusion.

"Hey, I don't know what's wrong with this wild boar. It keeps running towards the village entrance. We have killed two of them here, so we old guys don't have much to do, so we just wait and see at the village entrance."

Mr. He explained.

He Lai rolled his eyes. He was probably daydreaming. It seemed like he had released a wild boar at the entrance of the village. Maybe it was caught by them last time. He was giving them this illusion.

It's embarrassing, so embarrassing.

"Then grandpa, you guys wait patiently, I'll go back first."

"Go back, go back." Grandpa He ignored He Lai and continued chatting with his old friends.

He Lai planned to give them a little sweet treat. After all, they had hunting rifles in their hands, so he was not afraid that they would not be able to tame the wild boar.

Seeing that they were almost at the village, and seeing that there were not many people nearby, and that grandpa and the others were all chatting and not looking at the direction they were going, they released two wild boars weighing about 200 kilograms, and quickly rode towards Grandpa He's house.

He Lai had just arrived at Grandpa He's house and hadn't even had a sip of water when he heard shouts of catching a wild boar outside.

"Grandma, let's go and take a look too." He Lai said with a smile.

"Don't go, don't go. Stay here and talk to grandma. What's so good about a wild boar? What if it hurts my grandson?"

Old Mrs. He firmly disagreed. These days, people in Hejia Village have meat for every meal and it is nothing new.

He Lai had no choice but to give up, and then told Old Lady Zhou about Erya and Sanya going to the city.

"If everyone goes, then Xiaohu will be the only one left at home."

Old Mrs. He was a little reluctant. After all, they would see each other less often after moving to the city.

"Grandma, Erya and Sanya are not young anymore. They can find a good partner if they go to the city."

He Lai explained.

"Hey, grandma knows. I just can't bear to leave. It's okay, it's okay. Just remember to come back and visit me more often."

Old Mrs. He sighed and said.

"Grandma, if you can't make it, just go to the city and live for a few days. My mother misses you so much, and she can't take care of two children by herself."

He Lai advised.

“No, no, I have food to eat in the village. If I go to the city, I will have to share your food. I won’t go.

If your mother is too busy, ask her to send the child over and I will help take care of him."

Old Mrs. He refused outright, obviously knowing that food rations in cities were scarce and she was afraid of adding burden to Wu Juan.

"Grandma, my father and I make more than two hundred dollars in total. We can't spend it all."

"Then I won't go either. I have no one to talk to in the city. It's too boring. My grandma can't stay there. It's great to have so many people to talk to in the village."

"Uh... okay." He Lai didn't force Old Lady He. Indeed, there were not many people of her age who talked to her.

Soon, people in the village started beating drums and gongs, saying that they had caught two big wild boars and that they would have a snack in the evening!

"Little Laizi, see, we are not so poor in the countryside now, and we have meat to eat again! Let's go to the canteen with grandma to kill a pig."

Old Mrs. He tied on an apron and prepared to go to the cafeteria to kill a wild boar. He Lai had no choice but to follow her.

One or two hundred people from the village gathered at the entrance of the canteen to watch the pig being slaughtered! It was quite lively.

"Cui Lan, do you see this? This is our Hejia Village. The gods are blessing our village! Even the wild boars are coming to our door on their own accord!"

A young villager said to his partner.

"This must be two or three hundred kilograms of meat, right?" the young girl said, staring at the wild boar.

"Of course, at least 300 kilograms. I've already said that the living conditions in Hejia Village are the best in the surrounding area. Some people in the city don't have as good a living standard as ours. How much meat can people in the city eat in a month? Two taels! I can let you eat two taels of meat today!"

"Really? Can we eat meat?"

"How can it be false?"

"But I'm not from your Hejia Village."

"You promised to marry me, that's it!"

"Okay, I like it!"

"Then I will go and propose marriage tomorrow!"

"become…"

……

Listening to the conversation between the young couple, He Lai shook his head and smiled bitterly. But what he said was true. If the people in Hejia Village could eat meat, their lives would be better than those of ordinary city dwellers.

Many people in the village were in high spirits. After all, slaughtering the pig was just like celebrating the New Year.

"Xiao Laizi, you're here." Xiaohu arrived beside He Lai without knowing when.

"Yes, Brother Xiaohu." He Lai turned to look at Xiaohu and greeted him with a smile.

"Xiao Laizi, see, another wild boar has been killed in our village!"

Xiaohu said excitedly.

"Yes, got it."

"Little Lai, do you remember the pit we dug in the oak forest?"

"Yeah, remember."

"Well, I went to clean up some meat a few days ago, and I caught one the day before yesterday. Now there is more meat than we can eat in the village!"

Xiaohu looked very happy.

He Lai was also happy to see this.

"Brother Xiaohu, let's go catch a rabbit."

"Ah, now?"

"Well now."

"it is good!"

……

Soon, the two came to a hillside and began looking for rabbit holes. With He Lai's accurate ability to locate rabbits by sound, the two quickly caught ten rabbits.

"Xiao Laizi, you are really amazing. I used to come here often to smoke, but there was not a single one! As soon as you come, there is one!"

Xiaohu really envies He Lai's ability, he can actually know which hole has the rabbit!

"Brother Xiaohu, if you don't have wild boars anymore, or if you want to catch rabbits, come find me in the city and I'll take you there!"

He Lai said with a smile.

"Okay. I will definitely go." Xiaohu was very happy to have a cousin like He Lai.

"Brother Xiaohu, you are already in your twenties, why aren't you married yet?"

He Lai asked.

"It's almost done. The engagement has been finalized. Grandpa said they will get married during the Chinese New Year this year."

Xiaohu said with a red face.

"Okay, remember to notify me and I'll give you a big gift!"

"Okay, I'll let you know."

……

He Lai thought that since Xiaohu and the others were going to stay in the countryside, there wasn't much he could give them now.

One of the things that can function in the space is a cow. The cow in He Lai's space should be an old ox commonly seen in the north, which should be able to plow the land. This is the biggest helper for farmers in farming. I just need to find a chance to give it to Hejia Village.

Another one is the golden eagle. This hunting master should also be able to bring a lot of gains to Hejia Village.

He Lai felt that the golden eagle had recognized him as its master. Every time he entered the space, it would obediently descend from the sky and stand beside him. It was extremely well-behaved and must have understood human nature.

I just don't know if it can still catch prey now. After all, it feels like it's almost ruined by itself in this space! It just flies in the air all day long, and when it's hungry, it just eats the meat that He Lai prepared for it.

Also, I don’t know whether it can accept Xiaohu as its new owner.

He Lai has to find time to go to the mountains a few times. In order to train the golden eagle, he has to go there himself. Just pay attention to entering the space when the time comes.
