Siheyuan: Rebirth of Shazhu, Many Children and Blessings

"Let Sister Xiao'e eat first." Liu Lan suggested.

After all, children are bound to be clumsy, and if they make the fish dirty, Lou Xiaoe will definitely not be able to eat it.

"No need, just give it to the children." Lou Xiao'e declined. As an adult, there was no reason for her to snatch food from a child.

Seeing that several people were being polite to each other, He Yuzhu patted his head. He remembered that he had brought a bowl with him.

"Wait a moment." He Yuzhu said and took out the bowl of strawberries from the basket.

Then he used a knife to cut some fish meat from the grilled fish and put it in a bowl.

"Xiao'e, this is enough." He Yuzhu handed the bowl to Lou Xiao'e.

Originally, Lou Xiao'e was still smiling, but after He Yuzhu handed the bowl to her, Lou Xiao'e suddenly felt nauseous and began to retch violently.

He Yuzhu quickly gave all the grilled fish to Liu Lan, then gave her a look, and Liu Lan took the two children aside.

He Yuzhu began to pat Lou Xiao'e's back gently, trying to make her feel better.

After a long while, Lou Xiao'e finally calmed down a little, and with tears in her eyes she hugged He Yuzhu and acted coquettishly.

"Brother Zhu, I feel so bad."

"Why do you suddenly feel uncomfortable?" He Yuzhu wondered, "Is this the beginning of morning sickness?"

"I don't know." Lou Xiao'e shook her head and wrinkled her nose. "I just feel that the smell of grilled fish is very strong."

"Is the smell very strong?" He Yuzhu looked to the other side, at the two children who were eating with gusto.

"Xiao'e, let me try it." He Yuzhu added seasonings directly after processing the fish without tasting it in advance, so he didn't know whether the fish had a strong fishy smell or not.

I just feel based on my experience that it shouldn't be heavy.

When Liu Lan saw He Yuzhu coming over, she said to him, "Sister Xiao'e, this should be morning sickness."

"Well, it's about time for her to react." He Yuzhu replied, "But she said she was stimulated by the fishy smell, so I'll try it."

"Mom, what's wrong with godmother?" Zhou Ziyi glanced at Lou Xiao'e worriedly, and saw the tears in the corners of her eyes and felt a little worried.

"This is because your godmother is pregnant with a baby. Ziyi and Ziheng will soon have a younger brother or sister." Liu Lan explained with a smile.

"Wow, I want a younger sister." Zhou Ziheng said excitedly.

"I like them both, whether they are brothers or sisters." Zhou Ziyi grinned.

"You have to help godmother take care of your younger brothers and sisters when the time comes." He Yuzhu smiled and touched their heads.

He picked up a piece of fish from the bowl with a knife and tasted it carefully.

He Yuzhu frowned, "It has a little fishy smell, but it's hard to tell."

"We didn't feel anything when we ate it." Liu Lan thought for a moment, "Maybe it's because Xiao'e is pregnant, so her sense of smell has become much more sensitive."

"Is there such a change?" He Yuzhu frowned. He really didn't know.

"Yes. That's possible." Liu Lan nodded affirmatively.

"Your sense of taste, smell, and even your temper may change drastically during pregnancy."

"I see." He Yuzhu nodded and said to Liu Lan, "Sister Lan, you guys continue eating. I'll go over first."

He Yuzhu returned to Lou Xiao'e, took her hand and asked, "Xiao'e, can you eat now?"

"You can try." Lou Xiao'e couldn't say for sure, she just felt that her current condition was not very good.

"Then try to see if you can eat the sandwich." He Yuzhu handed the sandwich to Lou Xiaoe again, "The eggs in it may have a fishy smell. I'm afraid you won't want to eat it."

Lou Xiao'e brought the sandwich close to her nose and sniffed it, then handed it back to He Yuzhu with a look of disgust.

"No, it's fishy."

It was He Yuzhu's turn to be dumbfounded. "What should I do, wife? You won't be unwilling to eat meat for so long, will you?"

"I don't know either." Lou Xiao'e was also inexperienced and was a little at a loss at the moment.

Liu Lan came over and comforted the two.

"It's okay. Just try one at a time. This period of time is indeed a little special. Eat whatever you can eat."

"Yeah." After hearing Liu Lan say this, the two of them felt much more at ease.

"Then let's go back and try them one by one."

"Okay." Lou Xiao'e nodded.

"But now we can only eat these fruits to fill our stomachs." He Yuzhu frowned.

"It's okay, I'm not too hungry either." Lou Xiao'e took an apple and ate it, feeling lucky that she could still eat these fruits.

"Then let's go back early." He Yuzhu picked up the sandwich and started eating it in big mouthfuls.

"Okay." Liu Lan nodded, but Lou Xiao'e felt bad.

"It's so hard to come out..."

"Sister Xiao'e, you are the most important thing now." Liu Lan patted Lou Xiao'e's hand and said with a smile: "There will be many opportunities in the future, right?"

"Yeah." Lou Xiao'e looked at Liu Lan and smiled, "Sister Lan is right."

After eating two sandwiches in a few bites, He Yuzhu was almost half full.

"You guys take a rest here for a while. I'll go see how Master Li's cabinet is doing."

"Go ahead." Lou Xiao'e knew about this a long time ago, so she was not surprised to hear it now.

Seeing the surprise on Liu Lan's face, Lou Xiao'e told her the whole story.

After listening to Lou Xiao'e's story, Liu Lan finally understood why He Yuzhu had initially said he wanted to take them to the countryside to play. It turned out that he had this idea in mind. He was really good at making arrangements.

He Yuzhu rode a cart to Master Li Yun's house.

They were having lunch at the time. After seeing He Yuzhu coming, Li Yun quickly invited He Yuzhu to the place where he made cabinets.

"Master He, the wooden shelves you asked me to make before are now complete, but this cabinet has just begun." Li Yun pointed to the finished wooden shelves and showed them to He Yuzhu.

"Master Li, your craftsmanship is really good." He Yuzhu only asked for a simple wooden frame.

But in such a short time, Li Yun not only made the wooden frame sturdy, but also polished many of the corners smooth.

He Yuzhu was very satisfied that they did not do the job perfunctorily just because of the short time.

After paying the money for the wooden frame to Li Yun, He Yuzhu asked again.

"Master Li, can I trouble you to make two more gadgets?"

"You say." Seeing that He Yuzhu was willing to pay, Li Yun was willing to do business with him.

"I also want to make a little wooden horse and a little wooden sword."

"The kind for kids to play with?" Li Yun asked.

"Yes." He Yuzhu looked at Li Yun expectantly, "Can you do it?"

"Of course." Li Yun nodded with a smile, and then asked: "Are you in a hurry? Do you have any special requirements?"

"I'm not in a hurry and I don't have any special requirements." When He Yuzhu saw Li Yun asking this, he asked another question.

"How long will it take Master Li to finish it?"
