Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

Chapter 133 Eating too much sugar is not good

"Brother Lai, we are not engaging in speculation by doing this, right?" Liu Guangtian said quietly.

"What nonsense are you talking about! We are bartering, that is an equal exchange. How can it be considered speculation? We are not selling it for money." He Lai glared at Liu Guangtian.

He Lai felt a little guilty looking at the twenty-plus kilograms of bones. After all, it was a bit too much. It would be bad if he was accused of something, like disrupting the unified purchase and sale.

But it’s nothing if you think about it. After all, it’s shared by three families, and each person only has about seven pounds of bones.

He Lai thought about it and decided to separate the bones on the way to avoid trouble.

"Hu Zi, give this little bit of meat to Aunt Sun." He Lai also gave this little bit of meat to Hu Zi.

Hu Zi didn't refuse. He was used to He Lai's arrangements, and his grandmother really needed it.

The three of them entered the courtyard, and the workers had all gone off work.

Zhang Daming saw He Lai and his two companions coming back with fish buckets filled with bones, so he went up to talk to them.

"Xiao Laizi, why did you buy so many bones?"

"Uncle Zhang, I caught too many fish and wanted to take them to the market to exchange for some meat, but I only got some bones. Come, Uncle Zhang, take one and try it."

He Lai did not hide anything and said it directly, taking out a bone weighing about half a pound.

"How can this be! I can't accept it." Zhang Daming quickly waved his hands.

"Hey, this is just a taste. This way, it will be my family's gate money for next month."

He Lai gave a bone to Zhang Daming, and Zhang Daming had no choice but to take it.

With He Lai taking the lead, all the tigers in Liu Guangtian's group took out a bone to give to Zhang Daming.

After all, it was said before that everyone should give the money to Zhang Daming's family, but if others don't give it, Zhang Daming can't go to their house to ask for it.

Now it has evolved into helping to open the door. If people remember to give something, they will give something. If they don’t remember, it’s fine.

So this job has to be done by someone with thick skin, otherwise it will be difficult to collect the money.

Liu Guangtian took the bones back home, and He Lai took Hu Zi to Sha Zhu's house. After all, Hu Zi's house had no kitchen, only a stove to stew the bones.

"Brother Zhuzi, please help me and Huzi get the bones." He Lai shook the fish bucket.

"No problem, leave it to me." Sha Zhu was also very straightforward.

"Brother Zhuzi, I'll give you half of mine. Just give Hu Zi's to him. Aunt Sun needs some supplements. You can take care of the rest as you see fit." He Lai added.

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll do as you say. Give me the food. You guys sit down." Sha Zhu took the fish bucket and went to the kitchen.

He Lai used candy to tease Xier. Two-year-olds are just the right age to have fun. Unlike Xiao Yangzi, she would cling to He Lai's legs.

Then I saw Xier stretching out her two little hands and desperately grabbing the candy, trying to break free from Qin Huairu's arms, babbling.

He saw Xi'er was ready to cry, so he quickly gave her the candy.

Qin Huairu also smiled, took the candy from Xier's hand, peeled off the candy wrapper, and let her lick it. Then she said to He.

"Xiao Laizi, don't give her candy. Xier is too young. It would be bad if it gets stuck."

"Oh, yes, yes, I forgot, Xi'er is only two years old."

He Lai also slapped his forehead, remembering that when he gave Nannan candy before, fortunately nothing happened, otherwise he would have committed a serious sin. Alas, people who have never raised children really don't understand these things.

"Come here, uncle, I can eat." Xiao Yangzi hung on He Lai's legs and looked up and shouted.

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll give them all to you." He Lai took out four candies from his pocket and gave them to Xiao Yangzi. Xiao Yangzi immediately let go of He Lai's legs and ate the candies.

"Don't eat too much. You'll start to change your teeth when you grow older." Qin Huairu pulled her son over and took the candy from him.

When Xiao Yangzi saw that his candy was taken away by his mother, he started to cry.

"If you dare to cry, I will let your father spank you." Qin Huairu also threatened her son.

Xiao Yangzi held his breath instantly. Although Sha Zhu had never beaten him, he had seen Jia Dongxu beating someone with a stick, and it was so miserable.

He Lai smacked his lips and decided that he couldn't give away candies carelessly in the future.

"Well, sister-in-law, I'll go back first." He Lai quickly took Hu Zi and fled the education scene.

……

"Brother Lai, what's wrong? I saw that you looked unhappy when I came in." Yu Shui also looked strange.

"Ah, that, that's the candy. Yes, I won't give it to you anymore in the future. It's not good for you to eat too much. That's it." He Lai said stutteringly.

Yu Shui was confused when she heard this. What the hell is this? You can’t give me the milk candy anymore. If you don’t want to give me the milk candy, then don’t give me the milk powder now!

"We shouldn't have given it to him a long time ago. Yu Shui is almost getting cavities. It's all because of you. Look how much sugar we have at home. There are even two cans of honey in the kitchen." Wu Juan interjected beside the sewing machine.

He Lai didn't dare to say that he still had more than a dozen jars in his space. Honey is a good thing and cannot be compared with sugar.

"Mom, honey is different. Drinking a little honey mixed with water every day is good for your health. It can improve sleep, promote digestion, enhance immunity and resistance, and also..."

"Here, here, drink, drink. You talk so much, but you are just greedy. Others are living well without drinking."

Wu Juan interrupted He Lai's speech directly. Although she often drank with rain water, she didn't believe so much.

"I have to drink it every day anyway, so I'll go drink the rain water and soak in honey water."

He Lai didn't argue with Wu Juan and went to soak in the rain.

Soon, He Lai and the other man started drinking, and Wu Juan also had a bowl in front of her.

"Mom, drink it, drink it. It's good for your health."

"Come here and try the clothes on, you naughty boy." Wu Juan finished the last bit of work and spread out the clothes she had just made with her hands.

He Lai quickly took it, took off his coat and tried it on.

"Mother is a little big."

"You are silly. You have grown taller rapidly in the past two years, so your mother has to make you bigger. Otherwise, it will be too small again soon and you will have to tear it down and make a new one. So I would rather make you bigger." Wu Juan straightened He Lai's clothes and spoke one sentence at a time.

Wu Juan sighed, her son was growing so fast, he was about to surpass her. Head of the family, have you seen that? Our son is almost as tall as me. Her thoughts once again went to a distant place.

When He Lai saw that Wu Juan was engrossed, he thought something was wrong and quickly interrupted her and brought the honey water to her.

"Mother, please use it."

Wu Juan came to her senses, took the bowl, hit He Lai, and scolded him with a smile.

Dad, please come back soon. Mom is missing me. You won't settle down in CX, will you?

At this time, He Zhan was still building houses for the cx people. The soldiers put down their weapons and devoted themselves to the work.

He Zhan suddenly stood up and looked up at the sky.

"Juanzi, Xiaolaizi, are you thinking about me again?"

"Captain, are you missing home again?" A much younger soldier asked He Zhan with a smile.

"You're the only one who talks too much, kid. Get to work."
