Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

Chapter 366 Wu Juan objects

When He Lai woke up the next day, Wu'er had already woken up and was crawling around in the room in the space. Fortunately, the bed in the space was just a mat and not high, otherwise she would definitely have fallen and gotten hurt.

He Lai put her back on the bed without thinking, checked her diaper, and found that it was indeed wet, so he quickly changed it.

"Brother! I'm hungry!" Wu'er waved her hands and muttered.

"Okay, I'll take you to wash first, then go drink!"

After He finished speaking, he controlled Wu'er to leave the room, washed her by the pool, put her clothes on, and then put her under the cow, letting her suck milk there.

I will be going to Guangzhou in a few days, so I need to prepare myself. After all, I want to go to the port city and the casino city to have some fun.

I don't know if it's easy to exchange RMB into Hong Kong dollars. Gold is probably not easy to exchange. After all, Hong Kong was still quite chaotic in the 1960s. It's probably difficult for a mainlander to exchange gold for money in Hong Kong! At least you'll be ripped off.

After sorting out his thoughts, he realized that if he wanted to make it in Hong Kong in this era, he would have to make the acquaintance of Inspector Lei Luo, who was worth five hundred million. He should have just made his fortune and become an inspector. He must make the acquaintance of this legendary figure. After all, he was a man who had the power to control everything in Hong Kong in the 1960s and 1970s, and he was able to escape unscathed, which was quite remarkable.

He Lai also wanted to meet the richest man in Hong Kong, Mr. Li! After all, in 1959, Mr. Li was just the owner of a plastic factory. He was not the richest man, but a small boss at best. If he could get on his boat, he could also make a fortune.

After thinking about all this, there is still the issue of identity. I cannot show my true face to others, otherwise it will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble!

I also need to learn some disguise techniques, the kind that can change your appearance by inserting a few needles. I think Mr. Feng knows how to do it, so I can learn from him when the time comes.

After a while, He Lai brought the drunk Wu'er out of the space and came to Wu Juan.

When Wu Juan saw Wu'er's bulging belly on the rocking chair, she knew that He Lai had fed her milk again, and she immediately scolded him, "I told you not to let her drink too much milk. Look at her now, she doesn't even drink my milk. This milk powder is so expensive!"

"Oh, I understand. I won't do it again next time." He Lai quickly admitted his mistake.

"What's the use of knowing! If you don't change, forget it. I can't control you or this little girl. Come and have dinner."

Wu Juan sighed and said.

"Mom, don't be angry, I will definitely change in the future!" He Lai had no choice but to step forward and act coquettishly.

"Alright, alright, kid. You're an adult, but you're still trying to play tricks on your mother. Hurry up and eat." Wu Juan rolled her eyes at He Lai, smiled and hit him, then ordered.

When He Lai saw Wu Juan smile, he sat at the dining table and started drinking porridge.

"Xiao Laizi, I heard that you are on the list of people going to the Canton Fair this time. Is that true?"

He Zhan asked from the side.

Before He Lai could speak, Wu Juan asked, "What Canton Fair? What list?"

"Well, it's me. My mother is holding a trade fair in Guangcheng, Nanfang, and our factory sent me to take a look. I will be back in about half a month."

He Lai explained.

"What? Guangcheng! It's so far away! Why don't you discuss it with mom before going?"

Wu Juan had been in the steel rolling mill for so long that she still knew where Guangcheng was.

"This is the leader's request, and I can't refuse." He Lai could only push the responsibility onto the superiors.

"What a rubbish leader! My little Laizi is only a teenager, and you let him go to such a far place. Mom doesn't agree, so you are not allowed to go."

Wu Juan was immediately furious, thinking that it must be Director Yang, who was always doing bad things. I didn't even settle the score with him last time! And now he's here again!

"Juanzi, stop making trouble. This is the leader's decision. You must go!" He Zhan said.

"Why are you going? I said you can't go, so you can't go. If you want to go, go ahead. You have no conscience. All you do is fight every day."

Wu Juan glared at He Zhan and cursed. He Zhan immediately fell silent.

"Do you know how Xiao Laizi and I have been living these years? We had just been married for a few days when you ran out and said you wanted to fight the Japanese. You said the Japanese wouldn't last long and would be back soon, so you insisted on going. As a result, you were gone for more than six years!

Xiao Laizi and I were left in the countryside to be pointed at by others. Xiao Laizi had been following me since he was a child and never left my side.

After entering this city and enjoying two years of good life, you wanted to go to the war again. I couldn't stop you, so you just walked away, leaving Xiao Laizi and I alone here for another eight years. It was eight whole years, but he was always with me and never left my side. How could I let him go without worrying about it!

Anyway, I don’t agree, you are not allowed to go!”

Wu Juan's eyes suddenly turned red and she spoke angrily, as if she wanted to express all the grievances she had suffered over the past decade.

"Uh..." He Zhan was suddenly speechless. This was his eternal debt. When Wu Juan brought it up again, he suddenly became speechless. Yes, he had been away for more than ten years and no longer had any right to speak.

"Mom, don't cry. I'll listen to you and not go. It's okay not to go."

He Lai hurried forward to comfort her, having somewhat forgotten about Wu Juan as his mother.

"My dear son, let's not go. I don't expect you to be successful. We just need to be safe and healthy. Okay?"

Wu Juan looked at He Lai who was squatting in front of her, hugged his head and cried.

She never wanted to feel the pain of separation again, especially from He Lai, her proudest son.

He Lai could only let Wu Juan hold him. He understood Wu Juan's current mood. It was indeed his own lack of consideration that she did not want to travel far away while her parents were still alive.

After a long while, Wu Juan slowly calmed down and went back to her room to rest.

"Dad, please ask for a leave for me so I can accompany mom." He Lai said to He Zhan.

"Okay, then you should spend some time with your mother. I...I'm sorry for both of you."

After He Zhan finished speaking, he turned around and went out to work.

He Lai looked at the two little kids, Wen'er and Wu'er, who were lying in the baby rocking chairs and were sleeping soundly.

I sighed at the difficulty of Wu Juan, the mother. Fortunately, I traveled through time. Otherwise, Wu Juan's life might be a hundred times more miserable than it is now. Maybe she couldn't even keep her house. After all, there were a bunch of beasts in this yard! Fortunately, I changed all this.

At the steel rolling mill, Li Huaide was holding a newly made lighter sample and came to the Technical Department 3 to find He Lai in person. After asking, he found out that He Lai had asked for leave.

Li Huaide was a little confused. Why did He Lai ask for leave for no reason? No, he had to go to his house to check it out. After all, He Lai couldn't be without this thing.

After instructing Yi Zhonghai and others to continue making lighters, Li Huaide drove to the courtyard house No. 95 where He Lai lived with Secretary Liang.

At this time, He Lai was designing patterns for lighters in his original room, trying to come up with as many classic styles as possible so as to attract more foreign businessmen.

But soon there was a noise outside the house, and He Lai hurried out to see what was going on.

"No need to say anything. My son won't go. You can go back." Seeing that the person who came was Li Huaide, Wu Juan did not argue with him. After all, he was her former leader.

"Uh...Comrade Wu Juan, please don't be like this. I mean no harm to you. Why don't you ask Comrade He Lai to come out so I can have a chat with him."

Li Huaide also understood what was going on. It turned out that Wu Juan did not agree with He Lai going to Guangcheng.

"Mom, don't be like this. Don't worry. If your son says he won't go, then he won't go. Can I have a word with Director Li?"

He Lai came out and said.

Wu Juan glanced at He Lai, then carried Wen'er into the house, leaving He Lai and Li Huaide standing in the courtyard.

"Uncle Li, wait for me for a moment. I'm going to go into the house to get something. Let's go to my room next door and talk."

"Okay." Li Huaide agreed repeatedly.
