The Dog King of Siheyuan Tears and Rebirth

Ever since Banggeng was sent in, Chen Caihong has been in a very good mood. She has become closer to He Yuzhu's family. Every afternoon after she comes back to boil the medicine, she will go to the He's house and chat with Lou Xiaoe for a while.

Time passed and it was almost the New Year, and there was only one day left until New Year’s Eve.

That day, after Chen Caihong finished boiling the medicine, she went to the He family again. When she entered the house, Lou Xiao'e was feeding the child.

Watching little He Ying sucking her milk, Chen Caihong went over to tease her for a bit, then asked, "Xiao'e, tomorrow is New Year's Eve, how are you going to celebrate it?"

"How do we get through this? Haha, I don't know. Brother Zhuzi will make the arrangements!"

"Hi, what I mean is, are you planning to spend the night in the courtyard or at your parents' house?" Chen Caihong explained.

"Let's go on the first day of the new year! We will definitely spend New Year's Eve at home. What do you think?" Lou Xiao'e asked.

"I really can't hide it from you. What I mean is that your Zhuzi cooks delicious food, and he works hard all year just for the sake of having a good meal during the New Year. What I mean is...how about our two families celebrate the New Year together? Do you think it's okay?" After saying that, Chen Caihong looked at Lou Xiao'e expectantly.

"I have no objection, and I think Brother Zhuzi has no objection either," Lou Xiao'e smiled, and then asked seriously, "But is this your idea or your Damao's idea?"

"That's what I mean, but I have the final say for my family's Damao. He has no objection, so it's settled. My family will buy the meat this year. I work at the supply and marketing cooperative anyway, so I can buy it on the way. It's convenient." Chen Caihong took charge.

"Then it's settled. It's more fun with more people."

After getting Lou Xiao'e's affirmation, Chen Caihong happily went home to find Xu Damao.

After returning home and cooking, Xu Damao also came back, so Chen Caihong told Xu Damao her idea.

Xu Damao was naturally wary of the contact between He Yuzhu's family and Chen Caihong. He was afraid that once the two families became familiar with each other, He Yuzhu and his wife would sell him out.

"Hongzi, can't we celebrate the New Year on our own? It's not good to have to spend it together..."

"Da Mao, it's more lively when we get together. I've already told Lou Xiao'e that you will listen to me. You can't let me lose face. Besides, it's great to have a chef to cook for us. Let's do it this way." Chen Caihong said.

Seeing Chen Caihong's overbearing look, Xu Damao was powerless to object and could only agree, "Okay, for the sake of my wife, I'll spend the New Year with him, a lousy cook!"

"Da Mao, since I got married, I haven't seen He Yuzhu targeting you, so I think you should stop calling him like that all the time." Chen Caihong advised.

"Well, I got used to it when I was a child, and I can't change it all at once. Let's talk about it later!" Xu Damao evaded the question.

……

Soon it was New Year's Eve, and Xu Damao and his wife went to the He family with meat and a chicken as agreed.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw He Yuzhu and his family were busy making dumplings.

"Xu Damao, what a rare guest! Come in and sit down quickly." He Yuzhu greeted.

"Hey, you guys are already doing this? I thought I could help," Xu Damao said with a smile, "See? My buddy brought a chicken over. Let's make a good meal tonight. I heard that people have to line up to eat at your special meal now."

"That's right, but there's a lot of work to do. Go kill and clean the chicken you brought, and then help me in the kitchen. I'll make you one of my signature dishes today." He Yuzhu said.

"have to,……"

After a while, in the kitchen, He Yuzhu started cooking, while Xu Damao was lighting the fire intermittently.

"Xu Damao, you may not be able to hide your story anymore, so be careful!" He Yuzhu said in a low voice, "My wife said your wife asks about how to get pregnant more easily every day, so I think you should be prepared."

"What are you preparing for? What are you preparing for? Don't talk nonsense." Xu Damao said excitedly.

"Hehe, Xu Damao, I'm telling you all this because I treat you as my own. I know about your affairs, but I'm not spreading them nonsense. I'm just reminding you in advance." He Yuzhu said leisurely.

"No, do you really know?" Xu Damao said angrily.

"Xu Damao, what you said is true. I am the son-in-law of the Lou family, how could I not know? But I guarantee that no one else knows. Only the four of us know. I didn't want to tell you at first, but seeing that your wife was so anxious to have a child, I told you in advance so that you won't be caught off guard, or I will be wronged by you again." He Yuzhu explained.

"Really? Are you really the only four who know this?" Xu Damao asked anxiously, "And you swear, swear never to tell this secret in your life."

"Hey, whatever you want," He Yuzhu put Guo Ju's hand down and swore, "I swear, if I say anything nonsense about Xu Damao, I will also have no son."

After hearing He Yuzhu's oath, Xu Damao finally felt relieved. "Hey! You said my Caihong always asks Lou Xiaoe how to get pregnant more easily?"

"Yes, you asked very carefully. My wife said that your wife is a little crazy about giving birth. You should pay attention to it."

"There's nothing I can do. I don't want to get this disease." Xu Damao said in annoyance. He didn't care when facing people who knew the truth.

"Xu Damao, I have a suggestion for you," He Yuzhu said, "Why don't you just tell the truth and adopt one? Sooner or later, something bad will happen."

"No, absolutely not. Aren't you cheating me?" Xu Damao said angrily.

"Then there is another way. That is to divorce her and find a pregnant widow to bring in. This way you can solve the problem once and for all and your problem will never be exposed." He Yuzhu said.

"This, isn't this me raising someone else's child?" Xu Damao said angrily, "I won't do this."

"Whatever, I just want to tell you in advance, don't let people know and then you doubt me. I don't want to take the blame. You've seen it for so long. I just want to live my life quietly. I haven't provoked you since I got married, right?"

"That's not the case, but I haven't provoked you either, right!?" Xu Damao said.

"Then let's just get along like this from now on, don't target each other, and we can have a drink together occasionally. That's it, okay?"

"No problem!" Xu Damao said with relief.

The two chatted as they worked, and soon He Yuzhu finished preparing the New Year's Eve dinner. Then the two families had a delicious meal together and spent the last day of 1962.
