Chapter 397 Dragon Fruit
"How can you take Nannan and Xier out without saying anything? What if something happens?"
Wu Juan started to teach He Lai a lesson.
"Mom, what could possibly happen? We all came back by car. Nannan and the others brought a lot of gifts!"
He Lai argued.
"Hey, you little brat, you didn't see your Aunt Li's expression just now, did you? Other children play in the yard every day, and you took their daughter out as soon as you came back. You still think you're right."
Wu Juan patted He Lai's butt and said.
He Lai was hit and immediately moved away from Wu Juan, saying aggrievedly: "Mom, why are you still doing this? Look, sister-in-law Huairu is not anxious at all. You are worrying about nothing."
"Okay, I'll let you worry about it for nothing. I'll let you worry about it for nothing."
Wu Juan stood up and went to get the feather duster.
"Yushui, stop my mother. I'm leaving first."
Seeing this, He Lai ran out immediately and told Yu Shui about it.
Can't afford to offend, can't afford to offend!
……
The next day, after dinner, He Lai went out, thinking of visiting Liang Ladi and bringing some supplies with him.
I brought some dragon fruit with me. He Lai has a lot of this in his space. I didn't take it out before because I was afraid it would be difficult to explain, but now I'm not worried about it anymore.
Add some pork and rabbit meat and it will be almost done.
When we arrived outside the tube building of the machine repair factory, we found Damao and the others playing "Eagle Catches Chicken" there. It was He Lai who taught them how to play.
"Da Mao, Er Mao, stop playing and come and help me get my things."
He Lai shouted.
"Uncle, come here!" When Damao and the others saw that it was He Lai, they all ran over immediately.
"Uncle Lai, I miss you so much!" Ermao ran to He Lai first and said.
"You are so smart. You want to eat uncle's meat, right?" He Lai rubbed Ermao's head and said jokingly.
"I want both!" Ermao said with a smile.
"Where's Xiu'er? Why isn't she playing with you guys?"
"Xiu'er has a fever. Mother and Aunt Ding are taking care of her."
Damao said with his head down.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's just a fever, it's a small problem! It will be fine in a day or two. Come and help uncle push the cart."
In this way, He Lai and a group of children entered the tube building.
When Damao got home, he immediately went into the house to tell Liang Ladi that He Lai was here.
"He Lai, you're back from Guangcheng." Liang Ladi came out and greeted.
"Well, I'll bring you some things. Let's go and see Xiu'er."
He Lai said with a smile.
"Okay." Liang Ladi looked behind He Lai and said with a smile.
He Lai came to the bed and saw Xiu'er lying on the bed, looking very weak.
"Come here uncle, Xiu'er feels so uncomfortable." Xiu'er said softly.
"You've been naughty and now you're sick." He Lai scratched Xiu'er's nose and said softly, while taking Xiu'er's pulse.
"Come here, uncle, hold me." Xiu'er stretched out her little hands, wanting He to hold her.
"Wait a minute, uncle will give you a few injections first, and then you will be cured. Then we can hug each other again, okay?"
He Lai took out the acupuncture needles from the cloth bag and prepared to give Xiu'er a few injections.
"it is good!"
"Xiu'er, are you afraid of pain?"
"Not afraid."
……
Soon, He Lai gave Xiu'er a few injections.
"Xiu'er, be good and don't move. Your cold will be gone in a while."
Xiu'er said "OK" without moving.
"The child kicked off the quilt last night and was cold all night. " Liang Ladi sighed.
"Well, it's just a cold. It's okay. It's just to detoxify. It's good. Let's go out."
He Lai said with a smile.
Wait for a few people to sit in the living room.
"He Lai, I didn't expect you to know so many things. Even my father doesn't dare to use a needle so casually."
Ding Qiunan said.
"Hey, I learned it during summer and winter vacations. It's quite useful."
He Lai said casually.
Ding Qiunan secretly smacked his lips. Look, you are talking like a human being. You learned acupuncture in just a few summer and winter vacations! However, Ding Qiunan often heard Song Xue and others talk about He Lai in the hospital. She knew how hard he worked when he was in school. He wanted to eat and sleep in the library.
"Hey, He Lai, why do you carry a needle with you when you go out? Aren't you afraid of pricking yourself?"
Liang Ladi said.
"Sister Liang, you don't understand, right? This acupuncture is a good thing. I carry it with me just to deal with emergencies. Besides, the silver needles are wrapped in cloth so they won't prick anyone."
He Lai explained.
"Oh, you're really great. How was it, did your trip to Guangcheng go smoothly this time? I've been asked to make lighters for a long time, are they really so easy to sell?" Liang Ladi asked.
"Of course they are easy to sell. Those foreigners have plenty of money. Just a little bit from their pockets is enough for us to use for several lifetimes."
He Lai said with a smile.
"Tsk, they are all capitalists who make dirty money by exploiting workers. I don't want it." Liang Ladi said stubbornly.
"Sister Liang, you are a bit cynical. Haha." He Lai said with a smile.
"Why should I be angry? I can't even fill my stomach, so why would I care about this?"
Liang Ladi sighed.
"Why are you still hungry? Didn't I give you meat?"
He Lai asked doubtfully.
"Uncle, come here. Mom's ration has been reduced again, so she can't eat enough." Damao said.
"Da Mao, who told you to talk so much? Go do your homework!"
Liang Ladi glared at Damao and said.
"It's okay, it's okay. We can still be full by eating meat. Where's your chef?"
He Lai discovered that Nan Yi was not there. It didn't make sense as Ding Qiunan was here.
"Uncle Lai, I know that Uncle Nan went to catch wild rabbits for Aunt Ding. He will use the method you used last time."
Ermao whispered in He Lai's ear.
Ding Qiunan still heard it and her face turned slightly red.
There was no other way. Nan Yi went to the hospital every day, and his things were taken away by his colleagues. No matter what she said, Nan Yi would not listen. He was still the same. As long as she went, he would go too! She couldn't drive him away, so she just let him go.
"Haha, so, let's wait for him and eat some fruit first. I brought a lot of southern fruits. Look, one for each of us, take one and eat it."
He Lai distributed the dragon fruits in the bag to them, one for each.
By the way, help Sanmao peel the dragon fruit.
"Okay, now that the skin is peeled off, you can eat it. Take it."
"Thank you, Uncle Lai." Sanmao took the dragon fruit and took a bite.
"It's delicious." Sanmao's eyes lit up instantly, he said that, and then started working hard.
Da Mao and Er Mao followed suit and started eating.
"You kids, eat slowly, eat slowly, don't choke." Liang Ladi quickly advised.
"Sister Liang, let them be. This dragon fruit is not hard and won't choke you. We can eat it too. I brought a lot of this dragon fruit and it tastes pretty good."
He Lai handed the dragon fruit to Liang Ladi and Ding Qiunan, and then started eating it himself.
Because He Lai brought red-fleshed dragon fruit, soon Damao and the others had their faces covered with red marks from eating the fruit.
This suddenly reminded He Lai of a very popular meme on a certain audio platform: Why do you want to steal the dragon fruit?
The girl's face was flushed red, and her whole body was tough except for her words. She refused to admit it at all. It was so funny just thinking about it!
He Lai couldn't help but started laughing, leaving Liang Ladi and Ding Qiunan confused. What was going on? Why were they laughing?
"It's okay, it's okay. I'll go check on Xiu'er and help her remove the needle. You guys continue eating."
He Lai walked into the room with a smile.
Liang Ladi and Ding Qiunan looked at each other. Although there was a little redness near their mouths, it was not enough to laugh. They looked at Damao and the others, who were still chewing with their heads down.
"Da Mao, raise your head."
"Ah, Mom, what's wrong?" Damao asked, raising his head.
Liang Ladi looked at Damao's face, his mouth full of dragon fruit juice and half of his face red, it was quite funny.
Liang Ladi laughed immediately, and Ding Qiunan also smiled when he saw it.
"It's okay, it's okay, just keep eating. Remember to help your brother wash his face after eating."
"Oh."
Damao started to eat it again. This fruit was so delicious!
