Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

Chapter 122 After the Banquet

After a while, everyone in the compound had finished eating and were sitting and chatting when a man appeared in the backyard with a lunch box.

Sha Zhu recognized him as his senior brother at first sight and ran over.

"Brother Fang, are you here to bring Xiao Laizi a lunch box?"

"Yes, then it's yours, just give it to him." Senior Brother Fang was a little overwhelmed looking at the crowded people, and when he saw Sha Zhu, he gave it to him directly.

"Okay. Slow down then."

Senior Brother Fang waved his hand and ran away.

He Lai was still joking with Xu Damao when Sha Zhu slammed the lunch box on the table in front of He Lai.

He Lai took a look and saw six lunch boxes, which looked good, so he quickly put them away.

Seeing that Shazhu was still there, I whispered in his ear that we would have dinner in the evening.

Sha Zhu immediately understood and left.

"Xiao Laizi, give some to Brother Damao in the evening."

"Brother Damao, you just said you wanted something light, did you forget?"

Xu Damao remained silent.

"Don't be depressed, Brother Damao. If it really doesn't work, let Sister Zhaodi eat for you. Right, Sister Zhaodi." He Lai turned and looked at Xu Zhaodi.

"Well, come here, brother, I will help my brother eat." Xu Zhaodi said quickly.

The banquet was over quickly and everyone started to clean up. There were no leftovers, and the bowls were licked clean.

What a crappy era!

Yi Family

There was a lion head in the bowl that Yu Shui had given her. She stared at the lion head in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.

Yi Zhonghai was also thinking about what He Lai said, and he always felt that He Lai was talking about him. Shouldn't you always think about your own things?

Because of the rain incident, He Lai had not interacted with me for so many years, and even the deaf old lady didn't care about me at all.

Even though he is an old man, He Lai only has eyes for Liu Haizhong. What should he do?

Alas, if a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth!

Jia family

"Dongxu, why didn't you bring something for us?" Jia Zhang looked at Dongxu coming back empty-handed.

"Mom, there is no leftover. It would be great if I can take some to eat." Jia Dongxu was also speechless.

"This little bastard whose father died invited so many people to dinner, but he didn't even bother to invite me to eat." Jia Zhang cursed.

"Mom, please stop scolding Xiao Laizi." Zhang Guihua tried to persuade Jia Zhang while holding the stick.

"Why, you feel sorry for that brat when I scold him? If you feel sorry for him, go to his house for dinner and see if he wants you." When Jia Zhang heard that her daughter-in-law dared to refute her, she immediately scolded him.

"Oh, Mom, please listen to me. I heard something yesterday." Zhang Guihua continued.

"What's the matter?" Jia Zhang asked, and Jia Dongxu also looked at his wife.

"I don't know if it's true, but I think it should be true. When I went to the cafeteria to wash vegetables yesterday, the lady who was washing vegetables told me.

He said I was lucky to have a good neighbor to help me. I asked who it was and he told me it was Xiao Laizi.

She told me that on the day Director Wang came, Xiao Laizi ran to Director Wang in the morning and talked to him for a long time, and Director Wang only came to our house at noon.

Zhang Guihua said calmly.

"How is it possible! How could that brat... that kid help us? He said he would not care about anything in our Jia family's affairs."

Jia Zhang didn't believe it.

"Mom, don't disbelieve me, I have actually been paying attention to Xiao Laizi for a long time.

I don’t know why he looks at me that way every time, and I can’t put my finger on it.

Although he never said a word to me, I could feel that he wanted to help me.”

Zhang Guihua also directly told He Lai that he was watching her.

Jia Dongxu thought for a moment and said, “Whether it’s Xiao Laizi or not, since Xiao Laizi doesn’t want us to know, let’s just live our lives and not cause trouble for others.

Especially mother, stop annoying us and just live our lives well."

Jia Zhang also smacked her lips. She had been quite well behaved recently. As long as she had something to eat, that was all. Do you think I wanted that?

Xu family

"Da Mao, I have transferred you to the Propaganda Department as an intern. You should stay in the factory and follow your colleagues to write big-character posters and slogans."

Xu Fugui paid a little money and finally made way for the connections and arranged Xu Damao's job transfer.

After all, he is an old man and the leader also gives him face.

Xu Damao was also very happy when he heard that he finally didn't have to go to the countryside. Then he thought of his father.

"Dad, what about you?"

"Well, I'm old enough now. It doesn't matter whether I can have children or not. My family still needs the job of a reporter. After all, you need a ticket to buy everything now. Having money is useless. I can't go to the black market every time."

Xu Fugui went to see a doctor and found out that his excessive indulgence had caused a decrease in sperm activity, which was why he could not have children.

But Xu Fugui didn't care, as long as he could save his son. He couldn't help but reach out for a cigarette, but thinking of his son's illness, he retracted his hand.

He family

"Mom, this medicine is a bit bitter, can I not drink it?"

He Lai watched Wu Juan bring out a bowl of medicine from the kitchen, and suddenly remembered the pain he felt when he drank the medicine yesterday. It was so bitter!

"Mom, this medicine is too bitter. Can I not drink it?" He Lai begged Wu Juan with a bitter face.

"Silly child, medicine is always bitter, just drink it." Wu Juan had already placed the bowl in front of He Lai and just looked at him.

He Lai looked at his mother, and saw Yu Shui covering her mouth and laughing. Yu Shui had drunk a few sips of it, and it was really bitter.

"Mother, you may not know this, but I specifically asked the doctor to prepare this medicine for me along with rainwater, just for two people to drink. I'll go get another bowl."

After He finished speaking, he ran to the kitchen to get a bowl.

Yu Shui looked at the half bowl of medicine in front of him and suddenly couldn't laugh anymore.

"Drink it quickly. The medicine won't be as effective if it gets cold. Just eat some candy later." Wu Juan urged the two.

He Lai saw that he couldn't avoid it anyway, so he closed his eyes, pinched his nose, finished it in one breath, and quickly stuffed a piece of candy into his mouth.

Yushui had no choice but to finish the drink with a bitter face and sat aside sulking.

"Yushui, we share happiness and adversity. You are indeed my good sister. Come to my room and there is still half a bag of candy for you."

He Lai saw that Yu Shui was angry and could only take out some candy to comfort her.

When Yushui heard that there was candy, she didn't care about being angry anymore and ran to Helai's room to look for it. Her candy was almost finished.

Yu Shui searched for a long time but couldn't find it, so he came to He Lai angrily.

He Lai looked at Yu Shui's expression and laughed. Toffee is still in the space. It would be a miracle if you can find it.

Seeing that the rain was about to use its mother-calling method again, I quickly spoke out to stop it.

"Don't shout, don't shout, come on, brother will help you get it. You are such an impatient person."

He Lai walked into the room, opened the closet, reached in, took out half a bag of candy and handed it to Yu Shui.

Yu Shui didn't expect that Naitang would be under the clothes in the closet, and she secretly made a note of it.

"Okay, okay, we didn't read this morning, let's go read for a while now."

He Lai saw that Yu Shui looked like he was going to tear down his room, so he quickly changed the subject.
