Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

Chapter 607 Wen'er is drunk

Fortunately, He Lai was there to help rub Wu'er's stomach, and soon Wu'er's feeling of fullness disappeared.

The sliced ​​roast duck has been served, neatly arranged on the plate. The chef who sliced ​​the duck is extraordinary, it is so neat and tidy.

Then the duck bone soup, scallion and ginger, and lotus leaf pancakes were served.

When Wu'er saw the piece of roast duck, her mouth was watering. She pulled He Lai's sleeve and asked him to pass it to her, otherwise the little girl would probably have to do it herself.

"Don't worry, big brother will do it for you!" He Lai touched Wu'er's head and said with a smile.

He Lai had eaten rolled roast duck many times in his later life, so it was a piece of cake for him.

He took a lotus leaf pancake, spread it on his left hand, put some meat in it, dipped it in sauce, put some cucumber shreds, onions and garlic in it, rolled it up in one go, and then stuffed the roll into Wu'er's already wide-open mouth.

Wu'er took a big bite and only finished half of it. Then she puffed out her cheeks and bit the duck roll hard, which made He Lai want to laugh.

After serving Wu'er, He Lai made one for himself and stuffed it into his mouth. The special flavor immediately filled his mouth, the aroma of sauce, roast duck, green onion, and lotus leaf roll noodles. All kinds of flavors gathered together. This is the taste of Sijiucheng Roast Duck.

Wu'er was very happy with the roast duck. The two of them ate the whole duck clean, leaving only the duck carcass.

"Brother, I'm full." Wu'er wiped her mouth with her sleeve and said happily.

"Okay, let's go." He Lai said with a smile, and then went to the counter to pay.

It cost nearly 30 yuan, which is equivalent to a month's salary for an ordinary worker. In an era when even the prime minister had to borrow money to entertain guests, this was already quite luxurious. It was probably only the capitalists who remained in New China could afford it.

Of course, the Prime Minister is not short of money. It is because he has a noble character and never asks for reimbursement for meals he entertains, and he also donates part of his money.

Otherwise, with the prime minister's salary of 560 yuan plus the local subsidy of 89.5 yuan, a total of 649.5 yuan, this huge salary is not enough to spend on everything. However, when he invited General Chen to eat roast duck, he only had two yuan in his pocket and could only borrow money from his wife to treat him.

pay tribute! ! !

When we returned to the courtyard, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

After Wuer got out of the car, she ran to the next yard to brag to her friends, while He Lai returned home and gave the packed duck carcasses to the Labrador who came to greet him.

As soon as I entered the house, I found Wu Juan and Yu Shui were already sitting on the sofa knitting sweaters.

"Mom, Yu Shui, I brought you a roast duck." He said, placing the roast duck in front of them.

Yu Shui opened it and said, "Brother Lai, are you guys going to Quanjude to eat roast duck?"

"Uh, how did you know that?" He Lai said in surprise.

"Of course. My dad told me that if I wanted to learn cooking, my brother wouldn't be as good as me."

Rain said proudly.

"Then hurry up and learn. Once you've learned enough, make me something delicious."

"Well, my brother has given me the Tan family recipe, and I'm learning it now."

Rain said.

He Lai poured himself a glass of water, walked over to the rain and sat down, "Mom, what's wrong with you? Why don't you speak?"

Wu Juan glanced at He Lai and said, "What do you want to hear, you little brat? Now that you are capable, just make your own decisions."

He Lai was stunned. He had made Wu Juan angry again.

Yu Shui leaned close to He Lai's ear and whispered something, and He Lai immediately realized that it was Sha Zhu who cooked and invited everyone in the courtyard to dinner at noon.

Wu Juan naturally listened to what others said afterwards and could only silently accept it.

"Mom, didn't I hear from Brother Zhuzi that there were too many cabbages and they couldn't finish them? Thinking that there hasn't been a dinner party in the courtyard for a long time, I asked Brother Zhuzi to have a big cabbage dinner. That's all."

He Lai explained.

"You are the only one who can be a good person! You..." Wu Juan glared at He Lai and was about to teach him a lesson.

How could she invite guests to dinner like this? Her own family didn’t get a single bite to eat, and as the head of the family, she knew nothing.

"Mom..." Yu Shui pulled Wu Juan's arm and said coquettishly.

Wu Juan looked at Yu Shui's expression and immediately surrendered. She sighed and said, "Forget it, forget it. I really can't do anything about you two. I'll go heat up the roast duck. Xiao Laizi, go bring your father and Wen'er back. It's been a whole day. Why are you still staying at your father-in-law's place?"

"Okay, I'll go right away." He Lai agreed with a smile and ran out of the house.

As soon as He Lai arrived at He Daqing's courtyard, many people greeted him. He Lai was not shy and responded casually.

When I entered He Daqing's room, I saw He Daqing and He Zhan still sitting there chatting.

On the table there was a plate of peanuts, some braised pork, and a half-empty bottle of Fenjiu.

"Oh, Xiao Laizi is here. What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" He Daqing saw He Lai at a glance and asked with a smile.

"It's okay. I went to Quanjude and bought a roast duck. I want to ask Dad and father-in-law to try it. By the way, where's Wen'er?"

He Lai asked.

"Uh... Wen'er, you're sleeping in your father-in-law's bed." He Zhan said awkwardly.

"Okay, then I'll take Wen'er back first, and you guys come over later." After He said that, he walked into the bedroom.

Seeing Wen'er's red face, He Lai was stunned at first, then he went forward and smelled it, and sure enough, there was a smell of alcohol. He then smiled bitterly and asked, "Has she been drinking?"

So he didn't go to pick up Wen'er, walked out of the bedroom, and said to He Zhan: "Dad, you should take Wen'er back. I don't dare to take him. You should think about how to explain to mother. I don't dare to offend mother."

After saying that, He Lai walked out.

"This is bad, Lao He, you've really killed me. I think my husband will definitely skin me alive this time."

He Zhan was a little panicked for a moment. He knew how much Wu Juan loved Wen'er. After all, Wu'er was led astray by He Lai and Wu Juan had given up on her. If she knew that he brought her precious son out for a drink and got drunk, that would be terrible.

"It's okay, it's okay. I have a way. Don't worry. I'll go make a bowl of soup now. I'll make sure Wen'er drinks it. Your man won't be able to tell that Wen'er drank."

He Daqing walked into the kitchen with a smile and started to tinker with it. After a while, he made a bowl of hangover soup.

"Will this work?" He Zhan looked at the yellow soup and asked doubtfully.

"Don't worry, Wen'er just took a sip of wine and drank the hangover soup, he will be fine."

He Daqing came into the bedroom with a smile and gave Wen'er a sip.

After Wen'er finished drinking, he was still a little confused. He Zhan held him in his arms and kept coaxing him.

He Lai was too lazy to care about Wen'er. He came to the courtyard of No. 95 and found Wu'er standing on a small stool, talking about Quanjude Roast Duck with her friends. Several children below had their saliva dripping from the corners of their mouths.

He Lai shook his head speechlessly and walked into Sha Zhu's house. No one knew where Sha Zhu had gone. Qin Huairu and Qin Xiangru were at home, each holding a child and chatting with Qin Jingru.

"Xiao Laizi is here, come and sit down." Qin Huairu greeted him quickly.

"Sister-in-law, are you satisfied now? Two babies are born at once. Can you have more?" He Lai said with a smile.

"Haha, just follow fate, just follow fate. Listen to Zhuzi. If he wants to have a baby, I will give birth to one for him." Qin Huairu said with a smile.

He Lai was speechless for a moment. He had to say that Qin Huairu was really a good wife and a good mother.

Turning to look at Qin Xiangru standing beside her, this girl seemed to be much more shy than Qin Jingru.

Qin Jingru has always been a lively person. Since she joined the Red Star Lighter Factory, she has seen more and naturally become much more cheerful.

"Come on, brother." Qin Xiangru called out in a low voice when she saw He Lai looking at her.

"Well, Sister Xiangru, do you want some candy? Here, take it." He Lai took out a handful of candies and stuffed them into Qin Xiangru's hands.

"Thank you, brother." Qin Xiangru took it with a smile.

"Brother Lai, this is mine. I want it too." Qin Jingru looked at He Lai and stretched out her hand to ask for it.

"You're already working, why are you still eating candy? If you want to eat it, buy it with your own money. It's not like you can't afford it." He Lai could not do as Qin Jingru wished, so he refused directly.

When Qin Jingru heard this, she immediately puffed up her cheeks and stopped talking.

When Qin Xiangru saw that Qin Jingru was unhappy, she thought that He Lai gave all the candies to her, which resulted in Qin Jingru having no candies left, so she quickly gave half of the candies in her hand to Qin Jingru.

"Thank you, Sister Xiangru." Qin Jingru immediately smiled when she received the candy from Qin Xiangru.

"Tsk, sister Jingru, you are so shameless now that you even want your own sister's candy."

He Lai taunted.

Unfortunately, Qin Jingru didn’t care what He said. Having candy was more important than anything else.
