Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

Chapter 395 Going in circles

After the little ones finished eating, He Lai took them to wash their hands and mouths to wash away the stinky smell of durian, and then went to Wu Juan's place.

As soon as he arrived at the door, He Lai smelled the scent of durian. He went in and found Wu Juan also eating durian there.

"Mom, how is it? It's delicious, right?" He Lai said with a smile.

"Well, it's pretty good. I didn't expect there was such a fruit. It smells so bad, but tastes much better than apples and pears."

Wu Juan said with a smile.

"Mom, I'm right, right? This thing of mine smells bad but tastes delicious!" Yu Shui said to take credit.

"Hey, who was the one who refused to eat just now?" He Lai said with a smile as he looked at Yu Shui's flattering look.

"Humph, mother, just now my brother blocked my mouth with his hand and forced me to eat. I couldn't even breathe."

The rain complained directly.

"You naughty monkey, you are so rebellious. As soon as you come back, you just want to bully Yu Shui. Apologize now!"

Wu Juan knew what was going on as soon as she heard it, but she still stood firmly on Yu Shui's side.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong." He Lai apologized obediently.

"Hmph!" Seeing that his plan had succeeded, Yu Shui immediately became arrogant.

"You'll dare to do it again next time!" He Lai added in Yu Shui's ear.

With just one word, Yu Shui ran into the kitchen to cook.

"You kid, you're always so naughty, go help Yu Shui make a fire!"

Wu Juan cursed with a smile.

"Mother, I'm holding Wu'er. So, Xi'er, Nannan, go light the fire. We'll stay here for dinner today!"

He Lai turned and said to the two little girls.

"Okay, let's go light the fire." When Xier and Nannan heard that they could stay for dinner, they immediately ran into the kitchen.

"You, why do you order other people's children around? That's so bad." Wu Juan scolded.

"Well, it's no big deal, it's just a fire. With the rain, nothing will happen."

He Lai said nonchalantly.

"Xiao Laizi, I heard that the lighter factory might transfer you there this time, is that true?"

Wu Juan asked about the main business.

"I don't think so. I can't do anything if I'm transferred there. They're all workers doing the work. Who told you that?"

"Well, I just heard the people in the hospital say that. Look, the factory has just been built and there are a lot of job openings, so some people are trying to get close to me."

"Well, there must be a quota. Who does mother want to let in?"

He Lai asked with a smile.

"There really are vacancies. See if you can get Xiaohu and the others in."

Wu Juan's eyes lit up and she said, after all, they are all her immediate family members.

"Brother Xiaohu seems to have been left in the countryside by his grandfather, who told him to stay there, otherwise there would be no one to farm the family land."

He Lai said.

"Oh, so, then see if you can get Erya and Sanya here. They'll probably suffer if they marry in the countryside."

When Wu Juan heard this, it seemed that the older generation would not let Xiaohu and Wu Chang enter the city, so she could only ask He Lai to find a way to get the two girls in.

"Okay, I'll try my best, but I'll have to wait. After all, I don't know how many places I'll have by then."

He Lai replied that since they were going to build a factory, he would definitely have this quota, and the specific number would depend on the intentions of the leaders above.

After lunch, they chatted for a while and then He Lai took Yu Shui out. They had to visit Mr. Zhou today.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I found a group of children playing around a jeep.

Fortunately, children of this generation are more timid and they just touch and look without doing anything wrong.

He Lai walked over with a smile, opened the car door, and put the things he wanted to give to Mr. Zhou in it first.

"Yushui, you sit in the passenger seat." He Lai put his things down and said.

Upon hearing this, Yu Shui got into the car immediately. Just when He Lai wanted to sit in the driver's seat, someone pulled the corner of his clothes. When he turned around, it was Xiao Yangzi.

"Come on uncle, I want to sit too!"

"Uh... then come up." He Lai did not refuse and agreed directly. However, when He Lai saw the eager eyes of a group of children next to him, his heart softened, so he added another sentence.

"Little Stone, Bang Geng, you guys come up too."

Xiao Shitou and his friends immediately ran over happily and started to squeeze into the car.

When there was no more room, He Lai closed the door and said to the children who were not on the bus, "Don't worry, I'll take them around first and then come back to take you guys, okay?"

"well!"……

When the children heard that He Lai would come back to take them, they immediately shouted happily.

He Lai also smiled. It was not a big deal to satisfy them. It would only take a few minutes. Then he drove them around. When he came back, he found that the number of children had doubled!

He Lai could only shake his head and run a few more laps, finally taking care of all the children.

"Come here, uncle (brother), I'm here too!" Nannan and Xier also ran out at this time.

"Hey, you two little girls, why didn't you come early? Come on, get in the car."

He Lai naturally would not refuse, so he simply took the two little girls to Grandpa Zhou's place to have some fun.

After the two little girls sat down, He Lai said to Xiao Yangzi and the others, "Xiao Yangzi, Xiao Shitou, tell your mother that I'm taking your sister away. Do you understand?"

"I got it." Xiao Yangzi and Xiao Shitou said enviously.

He Lai then drove to Grandpa Zhou's house. When they arrived, He Lai got out of the car holding the two little ones.

"When we get there, we have to say hello to Grandma Zhou and Grandpa Zhou, do you know?"

He Lai gave an instruction.

"I understand." Nannan and Xier said softly. Looking at the big house in front of them, they suddenly became a little nervous and grabbed the corner of He Lai's clothes and refused to let go.

He Lai brought the two kids and Yu Shui and knocked on the door.

Mrs. Zhou came to open the door soon. He Lai pushed the two children forward and said softly, "Call someone."

"Hello, Grandma Zhou." Nannan and Xier spoke at the same time.

"Hey, two cute little girls, come, follow grandma into the house. Grandma has candies and snacks."

Old Mrs. Zhou obviously liked children very much. The words "Hello, grandma" went straight into her heart. She took the two little ones into the house and ignored He Lai and Yu Shui.

He Lai could only smile helplessly, and he and Yu Shui took their things and went into the house.

When I entered the house, I saw Grandma Zhou already distributing candy and snacks to the two little ones.

The two little ones were so happy that they kept calling "Grandma, Grandma" as if they didn't want any money.

He Lai and Yu Shui put down their things and just watched them play.

"Xiao Laizi, Yushui, the two of you should stop standing there like idiots. Find a place to sit."

Old Mrs. Zhou said to He Lai and the others with a smile.

"Grandma Zhou, where is Grandpa Zhou?" He Lai asked while sitting on the sofa.

"He is still in the Ministry of Metallurgy. It will take him a while to come back. He knows you are coming, so he will definitely come back early." Old Mrs. Zhou replied.

"Oh, some of those things were given to me by Director Jiang of Guangcheng and others to bring to Grandpa Zhou."

He Lai explained.

"Okay, leave it there. Are they all right?" asked Old Mrs. Zhou.

"It's fine. I think they are all in good spirits and should be in good health." He Lai replied.

"That's good. I haven't seen them for many years. I missed them so much. They joined the army when they were teenagers and followed your Grandpa Zhou to fight in the wars! So many years have passed in the blink of an eye."

Old Mrs. Zhou held the two little ones in her arms and sighed.
