Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

Chapter 318 Yu Haitang

Liang Ladi was fascinated by how He Lai taught Damao and the other children. She thought it would be great if He Lai could always stay in her home!

But soon He Lai also drew three drawings next to it, a little white rabbit pillow, a beautiful sheep pillow, and a puppy pillow.

"Sister Liang, help me make it. I will bring the cotton when the time comes. I will give you the cloth coupons first."

He Lai gave the drawings and four cloth coupons in his hand to Liang Ladi.

"Okay, then what color?" Liang Ladi took a look at the drawing and understood what He Lai wanted to do.

"Uh... isn't it said that our sister Liang is clever and skillful? No one is dissatisfied with the clothes she makes. As for the color, you can choose it. I have no objection."

He Lai just waved his hand and didn't want to talk about the pillow in detail.

"When I'm done, don't be disgusted."

"As long as Xiu'er doesn't mind. I have to go back. See you next time. Bye."

"Goodbye, uncle." Damao and others also waved goodbye.

He Lai rode his bike away from Liang Ladi's house.

……

He Lai returned to the courtyard and found that Yu Haitang was actually in his home, sitting on the sofa and chatting with Yu Shui.

When Yu Haitang saw He Lai coming back, she immediately stood up from the sofa. After all, she knew that He Lai was the master of this house.

"Brother Lai, you're back." Yu Shui ran towards He Lai with a smile and took the cloth bag from his shoulder.

"Hey, isn't this your classmate? Hello, sit anywhere you want, you're welcome."

He Lai could only pretend to be unfamiliar and asked.

"Hello, sorry to bother you." Yu Haitang said with a blush.

"It's okay, Rainwater, you can take care of it yourself. I'll go take a shower first."

"Ok."

After saying this, He went back to the house to get his clothes.

After watching He Lai walk into the bathroom, Yu Haitang spoke slowly.

"Yushui, I really envy you. He Lai is so handsome and capable. No wonder my sister keeps talking about him every day."

Yu Haitang started talking nonsense again.

"Yes, Brother Lai is such a person, but it's a good thing your sister didn't marry Yan Jiecheng, otherwise it would be really miserable. Let me continue to talk to you about our third uncle's family."

After Yu Shui and Yu Haitang came over, she already knew a general idea of ​​what happened from her, but she was not worried that He Lai would fall in love with someone else. She was Wu Juan's designated wife. If He Lai dared to like someone else, Wu Juan would be the first one to not forgive him.

"Yushui, you must be talking nonsense. How can anyone share pickles by the root at home?"

"If you don't believe me, you can try marrying in later. Our third uncle's second son is almost eighteen years old."

"Yushui, what are you talking about! I must marry a leader in the future. Who would like someone who doesn't even have a job?"

Yu Haitang became unhappy when she heard Yu Shui say this.

"Hey, don't be angry, I'm not kidding!"

"Yushui, I envy you more and more now. There are so many people pampering you. Look at the things in your room. I guess there are more than I have used since I was a child.

I’m dying of jealousy.”

Yu Haitang sighed.

"You will definitely find your own happiness, and then you won't be envious anymore."

Yu Shui smiled and said, there is no other way, they were all bought by He Lai, and almost all the things on display are placed in Yu Shui’s house, so how could there not be a lot!

"Yushui, does your brother Lai know any high-ranking officials' children? Can you ask him to introduce some to me? I will be eighteen next year. If I don't continue my studies, I should be married."

Yu Haitang thought that since He Lai was so capable, he must know many friends from good families.

“I don’t know about this yet. Brother Lai has always told me to study hard, but I should know him.

I once went to a military compound with Brother Lai. There were two grandfathers I knew living there. The compound was very grand, with guards standing guard at the gate.

Brother Lai even had a fight with the teenagers in their compound, but none of them could match him."

Yu Shui recalled what happened when she and He Lai last visited Mr. Zhou.

"How dare you hit an official's child? Aren't you afraid that they will tell their parents?"

Yu Haitang was surprised. She didn't expect He Lai to be so brave.

"It's okay. Brother Lai said it's just a competition and the adults won't mind. Brother Lai even got me a military officer's coat last time. It's in my room. It looks great."

"Then I'm sure you know them. You have to say a few words for me. My sister's future depends on you."

When Yu Haitang heard Yu Shui say this, she became even more certain that He Lai knew an important person.

"You should wait until you graduate from high school."

Yu Shui looked at her deskmate, who had been thinking about how to dress herself up every day during the three years of junior high school. If she had put that energy into studying, she would probably be able to go to a technical secondary school.

It's a pity that the children of high-ranking officials in this era all attended Yuying School and Bayi School, which formed their own system. Only those who attended technical secondary schools would enter the society, and Yu Haitang would never meet them.

Otherwise, with Yu Haitang's beauty, she would not be only related to the nephew of Director Yang. She would definitely be able to get to know better children of high-ranking officials.

In the original novel, Yu Haitang and Yu Shui were just schoolmates, and their relationship was far from being so close. Because of He Lai, Yu Shui started school much earlier, and thus became classmates with Yu Haitang, who was two years older than him.

After a while, He Lai came out of the shower.

"Are you two going to chat here, or are you going to come with me to the next room to have some fun?"

"Brother Lai, go by yourself. I'll stay here with Haitang."

"Okay then, I'll go see if your brother has made anything delicious. If he does, I'll bring you some back."

He Lai saw that Yu Shui didn't want to go, so he didn't force her and let her stay with Yu Haitang.

He Lai went next door and first visited Wu Juan's brother and sister. After being scolded by Wu Juan, he went to Xu Damao's house and found that Xu Fugui was there too.

"Uncle Xu, what's wrong? Didn't Aunt Xu say that you were living happily alone every day?"

He Lai joked.

"You naughty monkey, you come here and tease your uncle, so I can't come and see my grandson!"

It was extremely rare to see Xu Fugui holding Xu Jiayin.

Xu Fugui was doing quite well in the cinema. He guided a group of young apprentices every day. Those apprentices were also sensible. When they went to the countryside to show movies, they would give some of the things they collected to Xu Fugui, which made him feel that He Lai was right.

Instead of worrying about others taking your job and hiding your skills from others, it is better to teach a few apprentices sincerely. After all, it is impossible for everyone to be ungrateful, and you will benefit greatly if you have one or two good ones.

Aunt Xu also took out a bag of mountain products from the kitchen and placed it in front of He Lai.

"Oh, Aunt Xu, you are trying to get me to leave. I haven't sat here long enough."

He Lai made a joke.

"What are you talking about? How can I chase you away? I wish you could sleep here!"

Aunt Xu patted He Lai and said with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll sleep in the same room with Sister Zhaodi tonight, and you and Uncle Xu can go back to sleep."

"You kid, you're already a section chief, but you're still so out of touch. If you're willing, I'd love to hear that. I'm just afraid that your mother will skin you alive."

"It's okay, I'm thick-skinned and my mother can't peel it off now." He Lai replied heartlessly.

"By the way, our sister Zhaodi is about to go to junior high school, right?" He Lai suddenly became concerned about Xu Zhaodi. She had never appeared in the original novel, after all, she had followed Xu's parents to the old house.

When Xu Zhaodi heard He Lai mention his schooling, she lowered her head. After all, she was not as good at studying as He Lai and Yu Shui.

"That's right. My grades are not improving. They are about the same as the third child of the Liu family. I guess it will be good if I can go to high school. It seems that I can only rely on my little family seal."

Mother Xu didn't have too many expectations for her daughter, as long as she was well.

"It's okay, it's okay. I watched Zhaodi grow up. If you want a job, just tell me."

He Lai still likes Xu Zhaodi very much, she is quiet and gentle.

"Thank you, Brother Lai." Xu Zhaodi was immediately happy. She knew He Lai's ability. He was able to get his cousin from the countryside to work as a salesperson in a state-owned store. So she could just pick any job she wanted.

"You're welcome. It's Zhaodi's fault for not liking to study." He Lai scratched her nose.

"Oh, I studied hard too." Xu Zhaodi said with a bitter face and pouting.

"Haha...By the way, where's Damao?"

"He and your brother Zhuzi went fishing at the Summer Palace. I heard there are big fish in the lake over there! They should be back soon."

Qin Yuru answered.

He Lai agreed after hearing this. Fishing is a good idea. With the loach recipe provided by He Lai, he should be able to catch a few fish.
