I am doing well in the Siheyuan

After being pushed by the second aunt, Liu Haizhong immediately came to his senses. After sorting out his thoughts, he couldn't help but explain:

"I'm not daydreaming, I'm thinking about important things."

After hearing this, the second aunt also refuted:

"You should think about your big thing later."

"Send Xu Damao home first. I'm tired and want to sleep."

The second aunt had been making shoe soles in the inner room before, and did not hear Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong talking about Deputy Director Li. If she knew, given her personality, she would definitely not go to bed, but would pull Liu Haizhong to discuss Xu Damao's problem.

Regardless of age, everyone has a gossipy heart, and Second Aunt is no exception.

Liu Haizhong certainly knew that Second Aunt had not heard about this, but he knew that this matter could not be told to anyone, including Second Aunt and Liu Guangtian and others.

So, he helped the unconscious Xu Damao up and said to the second aunt:

"Then you take a rest first. I'll take Xu Damao home."

After saying that, Liu Haizhong supported Xu Damao and sent him home.

After sending Xu Damao away, Liu Haizhong began to think about how to threaten Deputy Director Li and ask him to recommend himself.

......

A few days later, the sun was shining and it was a rare good weather.

At noon that day, Ye Ming asked Zhou Xiaobai and Ran Qiuye to go to Lou Xiaoe's house together.

In He Yuzhu's house in the compound where Old Lady Long lived.

"Xiaobai, you must take good care of yourself after you go to the army."

Lou Xiao'e sat on the bed, holding Zhou Xiaobai's hand and giving instructions.

Zhou Xiaobai heard this and nodded and smiled in response:

"Well, remember, Sister E."

"Don't worry, I will take good care of myself."

At this point, Zhou Xiaobai paused, his eyes fell on Lou Xiaoe's slightly bulging belly, and then asked:

"Sister E, how long will it take for the baby to be born?"

Lou Xiao'e thought for a moment and replied:

"Calculating the time, there are probably about four months left."

After listening to this, Zhou Xiaobai nodded.

Then, he lowered his head and gently stroked Lou Xiao'e's belly, saying softly:

"Little baby, be good. When your aunt comes back, she will bring you a gift."

Seeing this, Lou Xiao'e couldn't help but laugh.

At this moment, He Yuzhu showed off his cooking skills in the kitchen and quickly prepared a sumptuous meal.

He served the fragrant dishes and said to Lou Xiao'e and Zhou Xiaobai:

"Xiao'e, Xiaobai, go wash your hands and get ready for dinner."

After saying that, he turned to Ye Ming and Ran Qiuye who were sitting on the sofa and urged:

"Xiao Ming, Qiu Ye, come on, wash your hands and have dinner."

Ye Ming and others heard this and agreed with a smile:

"Okay, Brother Zhuzi."

......

Then, Ye Ming, Ran Qiuye, Zhou Xiaobai and Lou Xiaoe all went to wash their hands and then sat on the chairs around the dining table.

Zhou Xiaobai picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of food, put it into his mouth, chewed it carefully and swallowed it.

Then, Zhou Xiaobai gave He Yuzhu a thumbs up and said with a smile.

"Brother Zhuzi, your cooking skills are still so good."

Hearing Zhou Xiaobai's praise, He Yuzhu couldn't help but respond.

"Hey, Xiaobai, I like to hear that."

"I want to tell you, Xiaobai, not everyone has the opportunity to taste the food cooked by Brother Zhuzi."

"You are in for a treat today."

As soon as He Yuzhu finished speaking, Lou Xiao'e glared at him and scolded him.

"Zhu Zi, what are you and Xiao Bai talking about? Come and eat."

Hearing Lou Xiao'e's words, He Yuzhu, who was usually fearless, immediately shut up and became as quiet as a mouse seeing a cat.

Zhou Xiaobai, Ran Qiuye and Ye Ming couldn't help laughing when they saw this scene. They secretly sighed in their hearts.

Sister E is really powerful. She can control the fearless Brother Zhuzi and make him obey her.

It is true that birds of a feather flock together.

"Xiaobai, Qiuye, hurry up and eat the food. It won't taste good if it gets cold."

After "scolding" He Yuzhu, Lou Xiao'e greeted Ran Qiuye and Zhou Xiaobai warmly.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xiaobai and Ran Qiuye quickly responded.

"Yes, Sister E."

"Okay, Sister E."

After that, the two began to enjoy their meal.

...

Halfway through the meal, Ye Ming asked He Yuzhu and Lou Xiaoe.

"Brother Zhuzi, Sister E, have you thought of a name for the baby that's about to be born?"

He Yuzhu answered first.

"I've thought of several names during this time, but I'm not satisfied with any of them."

"Later I thought, let Xiao'e decide. Xiao'e is more educated than me, so the name she chooses will definitely be better than mine."

Ye Ming couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this.

"Brother Zhuzi, you are really lazy."

Then, Ye Ming turned to Lou Xiaoe and continued asking.

"Sister E, have you thought of a name?"

When Ye Ming asked, Zhou Xiaobai, Ran Qiuye and He Yuzhu all looked at Lou Xiaoe.

Lou Xiao'e looked at everyone's expectant eyes and spoke slowly.

"I've already thought of a name for the child."

"I used a character from my name and the pillar's name."

"Call He Xiao!"

Hearing Lou Xiao'e's answer, Ye Ming nodded slightly and commented.

"He Xiao means dawn, symbolizing the beginning of a new life."

"Sister E, this is a great name."

After Ye Ming finished speaking, Zhou Xiaobai and Ran Qiuye also expressed their agreement, thinking that the name chosen by Lou Xiaoe was very meaningful.

He Yuzhu said proudly when he heard everyone's praise.

"I was smart and let Xiao'e take care of the naming."

"I don't have to rack my brains, and I can still guarantee that my child will have a good name."

"He Xiao, it's really good."

Lou Xiao'e looked at He Yuzhu's smug look and couldn't help but feel amused.

After lunch, He Yuzhu quickly cleared the dishes. Ye Mingze sat on the sofa and started talking to He Yuzhu.

Ran Qiuye and Zhou Xiaobai stayed with Lou Xiaoe and chatted with her.

At this time, the atmosphere in He Yuzhu's home was extremely harmonious and warm...

At the same time, in the steel rolling mill, in the office of Deputy Director Li.

Liu Haizhong looked at Deputy Director Li sitting in his office chair and said:

"Deputy Director Li, as long as you can recommend me at the meeting to elect the safety captain, I promise not to let anyone know that you tried to take advantage of Qin Huairu."

After hearing this, Deputy Director Li's face suddenly darkened and he responded in a low voice:

"Liu Haizhong, are you threatening me?"

Liu Haizhong quickly waved his hands to deny:

"You misunderstood. How dare I threaten you? Even if I had the guts, I wouldn't threaten you."

"I did this for your own good. If that matter got out, it would definitely have a serious impact on your reputation."

“You may even lose your job because of it.”

"You have worked hard for half your life to become the second-in-command of the steel mill. It would be such a pity if you were to lose everything because of such a small matter."

"I'm doing this for your sake."

After Liu Haizhong finished speaking, Deputy Director Li immediately fell silent.

If Ye Ming were present at this moment, he would definitely look at Liu Haizhong differently. Liu Haizhong’s words just now did have some weight.

On the surface, he was thinking about Deputy Director Li, but in fact he was threatening him, and Liu Haizhong's words were flawless.

Liu Haizhong looked at the silent Deputy Director Li without being impatient, and waited quietly for his reply.

At this moment, Deputy Director Li really wanted to slap Liu Haizhong in the face and angrily tell him:

I'm not afraid of your threats, just say whatever you want to say.
