Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

"Xiao Laizi, you are amazing. You caught 8 rabbits and 4 badgers. Now your brother Zhuzi can show off in the yard again." Sha Zhu looked at the goods in the bag in front of him.

He Lai gave all the things he caught to Sha Zhu, and he would compensate Xiaohu and the others when the time came.

"Okay, Brother Zhuzi, stop showing off. Be careful or others will get jealous." He Lai said with a smile.

"Let them be jealous. I don't steal or rob, so I'm not afraid." Sha Zhu looked indifferent.

"Okay, okay. Mom, is Yushui done? It's time to wait for the bus." He Lai was too lazy to waste words with Sha Zhu and just let him do whatever he wanted.

"Okay, okay." Wu Juan came out with a big bag of wild boar meat.

"Yu Shui, do you want to stay and play with your brother for a few days?" He Lai seduced Yu Shui.

"Stop making trouble. Yu Shui has to go back too. Yu Shui, be obedient. We can't learn from Xiao Laizi and become wild." Wu Juan gave the bag to He Lai, took Yu Shui's hand and left.

Shazhu and Helai followed immediately.

"Brother Zhuzi, is there anything happening in the yard during the New Year?" He Lai asked about the affairs of the compound.

"Well, there are two things. The first is that the government introduced the five-guarantee system a few years ago, and the deaf old lady in our hospital was selected. Don't you think it's strange?

I heard that the five-guarantee households are provided with food, housing, clothing, medical care and funeral services, and that the treatment is particularly good, but I don't know if it's true.

This matter was announced by Director Wang of the Subdistrict Office himself.”

Silly Zhu said.

Now Shazhu has less contact with the deaf old lady, and the deaf old lady rarely goes out. It seems that except when necessary, she will come out and stay at home all the time.

It seems that he is thinking: Mind your own business and worry less, live a long and happy life.

He Lai was also happy that she could be more obedient. He didn't care how she became a five-guarantee household. As long as she didn't cause trouble, he would just pretend that nothing happened.

"That's great. She's an elderly widower with only an old lady to help take care of her. Wouldn't it be better if the government could take care of her?"

"Yes, the old lady is kind-hearted. Director Wang originally said that he would find a family to take care of the deaf old lady.

The uncle said that the aunt was used to taking care of him, so he let the aunt take care of him. I secretly glanced at the aunt at that time, and her face looked a little unhappy, but I couldn't say anything. "

Sha Zhu still has some feelings for the aunt, after all, she brought rain for a long time.

"Brother Zhuzi, everyone has their own destiny, don't force it. His uncle wanted to use his aunt to tie up the deaf old lady, and he also used the master-disciple relationship to tie up Jia Dongxu. This is something everyone knows.

That's her own fate, just don't take it too far. Don't talk nonsense."

He Lai was afraid that Sha Zhu would say something nonsense again, which would be bad.

"I know, I know. Xiao Laizi, you can speak better than my wife. My wife just told me not to worry about it and just take good care of our son and daughter." Sha Zhu smiled when he mentioned Qin Huairu.

"Zhu Zi, what are you laughing at? Could it be that my sister-in-law is pregnant again?"

He Lai saw Sha Zhu suddenly laugh and asked tentatively.

"Nonsense! My wife told me to wait a year or two before getting married, and she wants me to learn from my uncle and buy a house!"

Sha Zhu didn't hide it either.

Now in Sha Zhu's house, Xier and Xiao Yangzi sleep with Qin Yuru, while Sha Zhu sleeps with Qin Huairu. Although it is a large main room, it is a bit crowded.

"Pfft" He Lai laughed out loud.

"What's so funny? You're still young, you won't understand until you grow up."

"Brother Zhuzi, we can actually ask Uncle Li to help you get a bunk bed, like in our school dormitory. This way the room might be a little more spacious."

"Really? Okay, then I'll go back and talk to Uncle Li about getting one. Xiao Laizi always has a way!"

Sha Zhu decided to go back and ask his wife to get pregnant with another child tonight, so as to make Xu Damao angry to death.

"What's the second thing?" He Lai continued to ask.

"The second thing is that our courtyard was rated as a civilized courtyard. We all say it's all thanks to you, Xiao Laizi. You've done so much for us."

"Come on, don't say that. I'm just a child. But what happened to Brother Zhuzi should be my credit. Brother Zhuzi, you have to take care of me in my old age." He Lai said with a smile.

"Okay, Brother Zhuzi will definitely take care of you until you are fat and plump. When your brother Zhuzi can no longer work, I will let my son take care of you in your old age!"

Sha Zhu laughed even more happily.

"Okay, let's stop talking. My mother will scold me if she hears it." He Lai stopped chatting when he saw that they were almost there.

"Look at you two, so slow! It's a good thing the bus didn't come. If it had left, you two would have stayed in the countryside!"

Wu Juan looked at the two people walking and whispering to each other, and she felt uncomfortable for some reason.

He Lai and Sha Zhu didn't say anything, just waited for the car, and soon the car really came.

"Goodbye! Brother Lai." Yu Shui poked his head out and waved to He Lai.

He Lai also waved until the bus disappeared in the distance.

……

When He Lai returned to the yard, Mr. He had already returned.

"Your mother and the others are gone?" asked Mr. He.

"Yes, I just left. Grandpa, you must be tired today. Let me give you a massage." He Lai knew that Grandpa He had been sitting in the auditorium all day. After all, he was the host of the wedding banquet and had to be in charge with the village chief.

"Okay, okay, my dear grandson. The old man is really blessed."

Mr. He drank tea and enjoyed He Lai's service with a smile.

"By the way, Grandpa, I want to clean out the room of my former second uncle." He Lai thought of his mushroom plan again.

"Can you tell grandpa what you want to do?" Grandpa He was also a little curious. He Lai wanted corn cobs and wanted to clean the house. Although there were many houses in the countryside, he couldn't do anything he wanted.

"Grandpa, please don't tell anyone else that I need these things to grow mushrooms. When I return to school and develop the strains, I'll bring them back for testing."

He Lai also decided to tell Mr. He the truth.

"Is it easy to grow? Are you sure?" Grandpa He was surprised by He Lai's idea. Growing mushrooms! Aren't mushrooms all wild?

"It should work. My grandson has already made a plan. Let me go back and study it first."

"Okay, do we clean up the room? Do we want to keep the fire pit? Do you have any requirements?" Seeing He Lai's confident look, Grandpa He decided not to hold He Lai back.

"We can keep the fire pit for now and try to make the ground smoother so that it will be easier to lay the corn later." He Lai said after thinking for a while.

"Okay, I'll have someone do it tomorrow."

"Grandpa, no need. We can do it when the weather warms up. There's no rush. It's fine once it's done. Just don't burn the corn cobs. Collect them and you'll need them later."

He Lai instructed.

"Okay, Grandpa got it. I'll go get some more corn cobs tomorrow. Xiao Laizi, tell Grandpa the truth. Is the yield of this mushroom high?"

Grandpa He was still curious about how many of these small mushrooms would produce.

"Grandpa, this is beyond your imagination. Wait, Grandpa, I will make sure you eat until you don't want to eat anymore."

He Lai made a riddle.

"Okay, okay, okay, grandpa is waiting for that day." When Grandpa He heard He Lai say this, he knew that there would definitely be a lot of them by then, so he didn't ask any more questions.
