Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

Chapter 357 Level 8 Worker

When He Lai returned to the courtyard, he found that Wu Juan and Yu Shui were waiting for him in the house.

"Mom, how did you know I would bring back food!" He Lai smiled and put the lunch box in his hand on the table.

"You didn't come back all night, so I was worried about you! Have you resolved everything?"

Wu Juan felt relieved when she saw He Lai coming back.

"It's all resolved. It's no big deal. It just takes some time."

He Lai said something vaguely, after all, he didn't tell Wu Juan what it was specifically about.

"Mom, isn't Dad back yet?" He Lai asked.

"I came back for a while and went out again. Oh, why is it so busy to be a section chief? I thought you, Xiao Laizi, have quite some free time!" Wu Juan sighed.

"Mom, it will be fine after the National Day. Dad and the others will definitely take turns to have a day off then."

He Lai could only offer words of comfort.

In fact, security guards these days don’t really have much to do. Basically they just guard the door, patrol, escort the car, and assist the police station in handling some cases. It’s just that those who have served in the army these days are more serious and responsible.

"Okay, let's not talk about him anymore. Let's eat and try the dishes my son brought back."

Wu Juan was too lazy to care about He Zhan and immediately announced that dinner was ready.

Soon the three of them started eating, and after the meal, most of the food was still left.

At this time, the two little guys, Wu'er and Wen'er, finally woke up.

"Brother...Brother..." Wu'er was the first to shout, but Wen'er just kept pulling Wu Juan, looking like she wanted to drink milk.

"Alright, I'll leave the little girl to you. I'm going back to feed your brother."

When Wu Juan heard her daughter calling He Lai but not herself, she felt upset and quickly left this sad place.

He Lai smacked his lips and looked helplessly at the little girl in Yu Shui's arms. What a sin! Now even his bride won't like him.

"Come on, brother. Then you hold Wu'er first. I'll go and warm up the milk for her."

As Yu Shui said this, she handed Wu'er to He Lai's arms, then picked up the bottle and went into the kitchen.

He Lai held up Wu'er who was still very happy, and said bitterly: "My dear sister, you really have no sense of vision! Can't you see that mother is sad? Come and call... mother together with your brother..."

Wu'er happily called him "brother!" This really confused He Lai.

This girl wants Wu Juan to blame all the sins on herself!

"My dear sister, if you don't call me mother today, you won't be able to enter." He Lai whispered in her ear.

Unfortunately, Wu'er didn't understand what He Lai meant at all. She grabbed He Lai's hair and pulled it happily.

He Lai was very worried. He didn't know how to do anything to the baby, so he just let her play.

Soon Yu Shui came over with the bottle, and He Lai took it and started feeding the baby.

Unfortunately, after taking a sip, Wuer spit out the pacifier, and then made a "slurping" sound again.

"Brother Lai, what happened to Xiao Wuer? What do you mean by 'come in'? What does that mean?" Yu Shui felt a little confused.

"I don't know either. This little girl just learned to speak. I guess she heard someone say the word 'jin'."

He Lai explained hesitantly.

"Oh, I didn't expect Wu'er to be able to speak so soon, that's amazing, my brother said I couldn't speak until I was one year old!"

Yu Shui sat next to He Lai, looked at Wu'er and said with a smile.

"Hey, what's the good of speaking early? My mom said I didn't speak until I was two years old, but I'm still very smart now!"

He Lai made it up casually.

"Brother Lai, you are lying. Mom said you started calling me when you were only five months old!"

"Ah, I guess my mother is just talking nonsense. She's always like this and that. Don't believe her!"

He Lai smacked his lips. He didn't expect that Wu Juan also told Yu Shui about this.

"Brother Lai, you are like mother. Every time you lie, you always find a bunch of excuses." Yu Shui said with a smile.

Before He Lai could reply, Wu'er in his arms couldn't stand it anymore. Seeing that He Lai was chatting and ignoring her, she immediately started crying.

"Yushui, let me carry Wu'er to the bed. She likes to be in bed."

This stunned He Lai. He said something and immediately carried Wu'er to the bedroom.

Yu Shui looked at He Lai carrying Wu'er into the bedroom, and was also confused, but she didn't think much about it and turned around to pack the lunch box.

He Lai took advantage of the rain and quickly replaced the milk in the bottle with cow's milk, which calmed the little girl.

After a long while, the little girl was finally full and started clamoring to come in again. He Lai didn't dare to take her into the space now. After all, it was raining outside. If he came in and saw that she was not there, it would be a big problem.

Seeing that this was not a solution, He Lai decided to take the little girl for a walk in the yard.

He Lai brought the little girl to Xu Damao's house.

Xu Damao was also holding his beloved son Xu Jiayin and playing with him.

"Brother Damao, we're having fun!" He Lai came in and greeted him.

"Hey, Xiao Laizi is here, come and sit down, why did you think of bringing your sister out today?"

Xu Damao quickly pulled out a hand and handed He Lai a stool, saying.

"Brother Damao, where are your family members?" He looked around and saw that Aunt Xu, Xu Zhaodi and Qin Yuru were not there.

"My mother took them to a state-owned store, saying they were going out for a walk together. I stayed behind to look after my son."

Xu Damao explained.

"Brother Damao is indeed a good man!" He Lai gave Xu Damao a thumbs up.

Who can believe that this is still the same chauvinistic, glib and lustful Xu Damao? So, in this era, having a child of your own is the real family.

A family without children is destined to be distorted. In that era, too much emphasis was placed on passing on the family line. Few people in that era could memorize the term "extinct family".

That is why Yi Zhonghai, who had no children, fell into obsession and gradually became an insidious hypocrite. Look at him now, Yi Zhonghai has a child. Every day he spends time with his wife, children and a warm bed, and he is filled with joy from the bottom of his heart.

Yi Zhonghai didn't care about whether he was in charge or not. All he thought about was his son.

It is a blessing to be born in the Yi family. After all, Yi Zhonghai will be an eighth-level worker in the future and will never have to worry about food and clothing!

In this era, the eighth-level workers were like gods. Their salary alone was 99 yuan, and their various benefits were the highest in the factory, better than university professors and county governors.

In addition to economic treatment, there is also social status. If you are an eighth-level worker, you will be admired and respected wherever you go. Even the factory director will greet the eighth-level worker and respectfully call him master chef. So it is not unreasonable that Yi Zhonghai looks so awesome in the TV series.

There is a saying in the world praising the eighth-level fitter.

"He who can grind what machines cannot grind, and saw what tools cannot saw, and who can file an aircraft carrier or a piece of heaven and earth with a file in his hand, is an eighth-level fitter. There are few such people in China today."
