Siheyuan: Learning to be the sixth

After Xu Damao got married, he seemed like a different person and devoted all his energy to Qin Huairu. In the words of later generations, he was a model of a three-good man.

However, this also brought great psychological pressure to Qin Huairu, and she could only tell her true feelings to Lou Xiaoe in secret.

"Xiao'e, what do you think I should do if I give birth to a daughter? Damao was hoping for a son. If not, will he abandon me?" Qin Huairu said anxiously.

Originally, it was a private conversation between a woman and Lou Xiaoe was not willing to tell He Yuzhu. However, seeing that Qin Huairu's condition was getting worse, Lou Xiaoe could not help but tell He Yuzhu for fear of danger.

Lying on the bed at night, looking at Lou Xiaoe who was lying in his arms, hesitant to speak, He Yuzhu was full of doubts.

I couldn't help but ask: "Xiao'e, are you unhappy about something? Don't hide it in your heart, you must speak out bravely."

Lou Xiaoe was deeply touched by the care and encouragement she received.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Zhu Zi, Huai Ru told me that Damao is looking forward to having a son as her first child, and now she is very anxious."

He Yuzhu also remembered that Xu Damao had recently told him: "Qin Huairu has been suffering from malnutrition recently, and she wanted him to help her make some medicinal food to regulate her health."

It's not that the relationship is malnourished, it's that he put too much pressure on Qin Huairu.

He Yuzhu thought: "What kind of thing is this? You are going to scare your sister Lou and make her afraid of death."

So psychologist He Yuzhu had to go online and treat many people. I am really a little expert.

He Yuzhu smiled helplessly, shook his head and said: "Xiao'e, don't worry. I will talk to Damao when I have time tomorrow and ask him not to put so much pressure on Huairu."

Sure enough, after listening to He Yuzhu's words, Lou Xiaoe's nervous mood eased a lot, but he was still a little uneasy.

He Yuzhu naturally understood the little thoughts in her mind.

"Xiao'e, don't worry, I like little cotton-padded jackets. Look how cute and fun Yu Shui and Yao Yao are."

The sisters: "You are the funniest one. You are the only one who can bully us."

Lou Xiaoe looked up with her big watery eyes and asked: "Zhu Zi, is what you said true?"

He Yuzhu gently kissed Lou Xiaoe's forehead and said, "Of course it's true. I like all babies born by you."

Lou Xiaoe suddenly felt hot all over, feeling both excited and shy.

"Well, Zhuzi, why don't you take me now?"

Although Lou Xiaoe spoke in a low voice, He Yuzhu felt hot all over in the night when you could hear a pin drop.

But thinking about how he had endured it for so long, He Yuzhu forced himself to hold it in.

But she was afraid that Lou Xiaoe would be disappointed, so she explained softly: "Xiaoe, we'll get married when spring comes. It won't be long."

Lou Xiaoe nodded shyly, her flushed smiling face was particularly charming.

The next day, He Yuzhu treated what Lou Xiaoe said last night as a top priority. He was afraid that if Qin Huairu continued like this, she would easily suffer from postpartum depression, which would be counterproductive.

This matter is still a private matter. Fortunately, since Qin Huairu became pregnant, Xu Damao no longer kept the projectionist firmly in his own hands. Instead, he took in an apprentice and prepared to seek an official position himself.

This made it much easier for He Yuzhu to find him, as he could definitely catch him when getting food.

Just when He Yuzhu was about to ambush him, Xu Damao came to the door himself.

"Zhu Zi, have you decided what medicinal food to make? I'll go get you anything you need."

Seeing Xu Damao not even caring about his wife's meals, He Yuzhu was quite moved.

So I asked Ma Hua to prepare two meals and send them to the office.

"Da Mao, please sit down first and let's eat and talk."

Xu Damao had no choice but to sit down and eat his meal carelessly.

He Yuzhu poured him a glass of water and handed it to him and asked: "Da Mao, do you prefer a son or a daughter?"

Xu Damao said without thinking: "Zhu Zi, it must be a son. My Xu family has only one son for three generations."

"Da Mao, as a brother I have to remind you that you like your son, but it's best to keep it in your heart and don't tell Huai Ru every day."

Xu Damao is a smart man, so he understood what He Yuzhu said.

"Zhu Zi, I was too anxious and scared Huai Ru."

He Yuzhu said angrily: "Not only did you scare Qin Huairu, you also scared Lou Xiaoe."

"Besides, what's wrong with being a girl? Don't you think Yu Shui and Yao Yao are cute?"

Xu Damao thought for a moment and said, "Well, it's cute, but I still like my son."

When He Yuzhu heard this, he realized that this was a case of possessedness.

He Yuzhu was about to say something else, but Xu Damao took a big bite and said:

"Zhu Zi, don't worry. I won't mention it when I get home. We are still young, so we should try our best to have a son."

He Yuzhu felt that he had done his best, and it was the best outcome that Xu Damao thought this way.

After finishing their business, the two of them chatted idly while eating.

Before we finished lunch, Deputy Director Qian pushed the door open with a worried look on his face.

"Brother Qian, what's wrong? You look so sad."

Deputy Director Qian glanced at Xu Damao.

He Yuzhu smiled and said: "Brother Qian, Damao is one of us, just tell him directly if you have any questions."

Xu Damao, who loves gossip, has no intention of leaving at this moment.

But he was still very polite and brought a stool for Deputy Director Qian and poured him a cup of tea before going to eat.

Deputy Director Qian sat down and said, "Zhu Zi, you know, due to the recent shortage of supplies, the factory held a meeting and decided to increase the purchasing quota for each of our logistics cadres to ensure the supply of materials in the factory."

He Yuzhu, who is well aware of the course of history, knows that this is just the beginning and that life will become increasingly difficult.

He nodded heavily and said seriously: "Brother Qian, I've heard about this, too. My father's friend also said that it's getting harder and harder to get supplies."

He Yuzhu knew what Brother Qian meant, so he told him about his difficulties first. Otherwise, during such a difficult period when supplies are in short supply everywhere, but he can get as much as he wants, it would be strange if he did not arouse suspicion.

Not only did it not increase, but as time went on, He Yuzhu secretly decided to reduce some of the supply and simply cut out the meat for safety.

Looking at the two people who were lost in thought, Xu Damao said: "Zhu Zi, if you go to the countryside to purchase, I know where to go and I can take you there."

Xu Damao simply wanted to help He Yuzhu, and he also thought that it would be difficult for He Yuzhu to get supplies.

When Deputy Director Qian heard this, his eyes lit up. He then remembered that Projectionist Xu was very familiar with the countryside near the capital.

So he said with a smile: "Brother Damao, you can't just focus on the pillars, you have to help me too."

"Brother Qian, I will never forget you as long as there is a way."

Deputy Director Qian was even happier and shouted that he would invite He Yuzhu and Xu Damao to dinner tonight.
