Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

Chapter 198 He Daqing (1)

Office of Chief Ge

"He Lai, you have brought honor to our technical department today. Although Director Yang did not promote you to engineer, you should not be resentful."

Section Chief Ge said with a smile.

"No way, level 11 is pretty good." He Lai was very satisfied.

"Then how about you take charge of the next maintenance plan?"

"No, please don't, Uncle Ge, you should go find Engineer Chen or Engineer Yuan. I still need to translate!"

He Lai quickly refused, saying that he was looking for something for Liu Mu to do, and he had been busy for more than half a month, so it would be inappropriate for him to come again.

"Okay, I'll let them take charge of the maintenance plan, but what about those lathes in other workshops? They'll need you for maintenance."

Chief Ge looked at He Lai who looked like he wanted to run away and laughed.

"Uncle Ge, Liu Mu has been following me as I disassemble and assemble the equipment. I will just stand by and give some instructions. I believe they and the maintenance department can handle the rest."

He said that he had thought of a solution a long time ago.

"Then you have to help keep an eye on it and make sure nothing goes wrong."

Section Chief Ge agreed immediately.

"Don't worry, Uncle Ge, I will definitely be there to watch them operate."

He Lai said that he was good at this and must arrange everything for them clearly.

"Okay, go ahead and get busy. I'm also going to ask Director Yang to apply for more people. After all, the workload is heavy."

"Then I'll leave." He Lai immediately stood up and left.

……

Technology Department

"He Lai, how was it? Chief Ge praised you, didn't he? Thanks to you, we also got a reward of two kilograms of pork."

Liu Mu waved the note in his hand and said happily.

"Damn, where's mine? Did you embezzle it?"

"Hey, Brother Liu is such a person. It's in your drawer. You have four pounds. I really envy you."

He Lai opened the drawer and found a note.

"Brother Liu, Chief Ge just said that starting tomorrow you will be in charge of maintaining the lathe. I will be there to give you guidance. I said it will be a training for you."

"What? I'm responsible. I'm not as good as you in fighting. Why don't you do it?"

When Liu Mu heard this, he felt a little panicked.

"Brother Liu, you have been a technician for such a long time. This job is not difficult for you. Don't worry, I will be watching from the side. Nothing will happen."

He Lai really wants to start right away, so he has to supervise their work carefully!

……

In the next few days, He Lai guided Liu Mu to complete various disassembly and assembly, and also repaired all the problematic equipment in the factory.

This makes the subsequent maintenance work much easier. Engineer Chen is responsible for guiding the workers to perform standardized operations; Engineer Yuan then leads the maintenance workers and Liu Mu and others to carry out regular maintenance of the equipment.

The production workshop of the steel rolling mill changed in an instant, and everyone's workbench was clean and tidy.

After all, the workshop director, deputy director and team leaders are all watching, and whoever makes trouble will be dealt with. The production task of the Great Leap Forward is very heavy.

He Lai also returned to his previous state and just translated some instructions every day.

But Liu Mu was very busy, and had to follow the maintenance workers to the workshop to work almost every day. As a result, He Lai felt a little guilty when he saw Liu Mu.

……

Front yard He Lai's house

"Xiao Laizi, the New Year is coming soon. Your grandma wants to go back. Please help me persuade her."

Wu Juan is now almost six months pregnant and her belly is already quite big. Now in the whole family, only Old Lady Wu dares to confront her.

"This, this, how can I persuade him? How about asking Dad to bring Grandpa over as well? Then Grandma won't go back."

He Lai was a little annoyed. There was no way to persuade him, so he could only bring up his grandfather.

"Okay, that's a good idea. Help me get back, and I'll ask your father to invite him."

Seeing Wu Juan trying to get up and walk out, He Lai and Yu Shui hurriedly supported the willful pregnant woman.

The three of them returned to the He family's backyard.

"Xiao Laizi, grandma has to go back. Don't listen to your mother. It's been more than two months and I still don't know what's going on at home."

Old Mrs. Wu is now the same as Old Mrs. He. After staying away for a long time, she began to worry about her family. Especially when she knew that the big pot of rice was gone, she became even more worried.

He Lai didn't know what to say, so he looked at Wu Juan, meaning to say it quickly and let dad go to take people.

"Mom, I have discussed with Xiao Laizi's father and we want to bring him over to celebrate the New Year in the city. What do you think? There's nothing much to do in the countryside in winter anyway."

Wu Juan smiled and said to Old Lady Wu, He Zhan looked confused and asked, "When did you discuss this with me?"

"How can this be possible? It's definitely not possible. How can I spend the New Year at my daughter's house? If someone finds out, they will definitely stab me in the back. Your father will definitely not come. Forget it. I'll go back tomorrow."

Old Mrs. Wu directly rejected Wu Juan’s proposal, and there was nothing she could do.

This is because Wu Juan's brain is not working well due to pregnancy, so she used He Lai's words. After all, she is already a member of the He family. How could her own mother agree to spend the New Year at He Zhan's house? It's not like the Wu family is without a son.

In those days, the popular saying was that a daughter who is married off is like water spilled, and this saying is not in vain.

Seeing her mother's firm attitude, Wu Juan was helpless and could only look at He Zhan and He Lai.

"Well, mother, let grandma go back, and let dad bring more things back. It will be the same if you come back after the New Year."

He Lai had no other choice but to do this.

"Yes, yes, Juanzi, please don't make things difficult for your mother." He Zhan also advised, silently saying in his heart, just give up, otherwise I will be in trouble too.

"Juanzi, stop it. I can't stay for the New Year. You're already grown up, but you're still so ignorant!"

Old Mrs. Wu spoke again. Wu Juan had no choice but to go back to her room.

"It's okay, it's okay. I'll sleep with her tonight. She must be pregnant. She must be crazy and can't figure it out for the time being."

Old Mrs. Wu also entered Wu Juan's room.

"Dad, why don't you see if you can call grandpa and grandma over? It's your first year back, and mom is pregnant, so she can't go to the countryside this year."

He Lai suggested.

"Okay, Dad, do your best." He Zhan was unsure if he could get his parents to move.

"Then Yu Shui and I will leave. You can see what to bring tomorrow and pack up early."

"Okay, Dad will clean it up."

……

"Yu Shui, why don't you speak?" He Lai looked at Yu Shui and found that she was not in a good mood.

"Brother Lai, I miss my dad." Yu Shui lowered his head and said softly.

Yes, He Daqing has been gone for eight years. Although he comes back to stay for a few days every year after the Chinese New Year, it is still too short.

Yu Shui looked at her own home. She felt envious of Grandma He and Grandma Wu, who had been here for two months.

He Lai also felt that it was time to invite He Daqing back, and he didn't believe that He Daqing was really bewitched by the widow.

I now have so many trump cards, including the relationships with Director Wang, Mr. Zhou, and Dean Fang Qing.

I still don't believe that I can't deal with He Daqing.

"Yu Shui, how about we trick Uncle He back?" He Lai said to Yu Shui with a smile.

"How to lie? Come on, brother, teach me." Yu Shui's eyes lit up instantly.

"Come closer and I'll tell you."

Yu Shui came over immediately, and He Lai told her about his plan.
