Siheyuan: Learning to be the sixth

After calming Lou Xiaoe down, He Yuzhu took Lou Xiaoe to Director Wang's office to express his gratitude.

Director Wang also gave some instructions on things to pay attention to during the early stages of pregnancy. After looking at the test results, he felt that Lou Xiaoe was in good health and did not need any medication.

He Yuzhu finally felt relieved. The treasured things he had collected in his space could finally come in handy. He felt excited just thinking about it.

The two returned to the delivery room again and learned that Xu's mother felt sorry for Qin Huairu and decided to let her stay in the hospital for another day and go home when her condition stabilized.

Seeing that everything was almost done, He Yuzhu and Aunt Yi and Second Aunt each took out a red envelope and handed it to Xu Damao. After saying a few more words, the four of them said goodbye.

It was the first time for Aunt Yi and Second Aunt to ride in a car. They were curious and excited, and did not notice anything unusual about Lou Xiaoe for a while.

Until the evening, after dinner, He Yuzhu took Lou Xiaoe's hand and stood up and said:

"Well, I have good news to announce to everyone. I will be a father in nine months."

Lou Xiaoe followed suit and said, "I will be a mother in nine months."

The sudden official announcement by the two caught everyone off guard.

Aunt Yi was the first to react. She took Lou Xiaoe's hand and said excitedly:

"Xiao'e, please sit down quickly. Don't stand. You are getting tired."

With the beginning, Lou's mother was very excited and held her daughter's hand. Her eyes were red and she kept muttering: "God is merciful. She is finally pregnant."

Although we have entered a new era and people's thoughts have been further sublimated, the pressure of not having offspring is too great for women.

The old lady was very happy thinking, "Zhong Hai family, Xiao'e's mother, you two should hurry up and get some chickens, ducks and geese to feed, especially goose eggs, which are good for the children."

"We must do it, old lady. I will go to the countryside to exchange it tomorrow." He Yuzhu promised.

Yi Zhonghai and Lou's father, who were unable to get a word in, smiled at each other and said at the same time: "My dear relatives, how about we have a drink?"

"Oh, godfather, how about uncle take me with you as well?" Zhao Xu was also very happy for his elder brother and sister-in-law.

The three of them hit it off immediately and opened a bottle of good wine to drink.

In the past, everyone would watch TV for a while after dinner, but tonight, after watching for a while, He Yuzhu and Lou Xiaoe were sent back to their rooms to sleep.

He Yuzhu carefully helped Lou Xiaoe to undress and wash her feet, which made Lou Xiaoe's face turn red and she felt very embarrassed.

"Brother Zhuzi, I'm not that delicate. I don't need to do this."

"That won't work. Xiao'e, you are now a hero of our family and a key protected person. You can't be careless about this."

Seeing that He Yuzhu cared for her so much, although she had always been very caring towards her, when she heard it at this moment, Lou Xiaoe was so moved that she wanted to cry.

This made He Yuzhu very distressed and frightened, and he quickly hugged Lou Xiaoe in his arms.

She comforted him softly: "Xiao'e, thank you. If you have anything to say, please don't keep it to yourself. Be sure to tell me."

Lou Xiao'e nodded and said with a twitch: "Zhu Zi, I am very happy to marry you, but what should I do if I just want to cry?"

In order to divert Lou Xiao'e's attention, "Xiao'e, I'll go get some water first. You think about a name for our baby first. I'll come back and think with you."

Sure enough, when she mentioned the baby, Lou Xiaoe's whole body radiated feminine radiance, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and her hands unconsciously placed on her belly and gently stroked it.

Seeing that Lou Xiaoe had calmed down and was lost in thought, He Yu hurriedly poured out the foot washing water, washed himself briefly, and then quickly returned to the room.

He carefully held Lou Xiaoe in his arms and finally coaxed her to sleep. He Yuzhu was also tired today and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Continuous periods of extreme cold and drought in late autumn resulted in large-scale grain production reductions or even crop failures.

Although the harsh winter has not yet arrived, many workers who rely on family or relatives in the countryside have been notified that there will be no extra food to help them this year.

Upon hearing the bad news, more and more people were filled with worry, not knowing how to get through this cold winter.

The steel rolling mill is a key unit and is given priority in the supply of various materials. However, the number of workers is so large that the factory has to make the decision to limit the supply of meals to overcome the difficult times.

This means that in the past, people could prepare more for lunch and improve the living conditions of the whole family when they got home in the evening, but this is no longer possible.

Faced with the rapidly deteriorating situation outside, He Yuzhu and Lou's father sat in the study to discuss things.

"Zhu Zi, do you think now is the best time to take action?"

He Yuzhu nodded, "Dad, I think the best time has come. It's better to help someone in need than to add icing on the cake."

"Zhu Zi, you are right, but simply donating money doesn't seem to be very effective at the moment."

"Dad, it's not that it's not very useful, it's just that food is very scarce right now. I'll ask Dad's friends if I can buy some food from him. This way, I'll have both money and food, and it will seem more sincere."

"That's good, that's good." Master, you are very thoughtful. Just go and get the money you need.

It's not that He Yuzhu coveted the Lou family's gold, it's just that food is too important now, and it makes people feel more strongly that if he doesn't spend some money, Lou's father will not feel at ease.

"Dad, do we have a slightly larger warehouse? It would be useless if we could buy food but have no place to store it."

Father Lou thought for a while and said, "Zhu Zi, there is a warehouse in the city, but it has not been used for a long time. I will take you there tomorrow to see if it is enough."

He Yuzhu also decided to go and take a look tomorrow.

"It's getting late, Zhuzi, you should go back and accompany Xiao'e."

He Yuzhu raised his hand and glanced at the time, "Dad, I'll go back and wash Xiao'e's feet."

Looking at He Yuzhu who left in a hurry, Father Lou smiled and shook his head, "If other men washed their wives' feet every day, I would definitely look down on them, but why am I so happy when it comes to Zhuzi?"

The next day, He Yuzhu drove Lou's father to see the warehouse. Although it was small, it was enough.

He Yuzhu didn't want to get too much food, otherwise it would be hard to explain where it came from, and it wouldn't be good to be too conspicuous.

Although the location is remote, safety is also very important after the food is stored.

If it weren't for his wife's family, He Yuzhu would never have consumed so many brain cells. How much meat would be needed to replenish them?

On the way back, He Yuzhu took the initiative to say: "Dad, you should prepare recently. You will definitely be allowed to speak at that time."

"Zhu Zi, I have already started preparing. I planned ahead for today. To be honest, your mother and I will not be able to sleep well if we don't get something in the bag."

He Yuzhu could understand the feelings of the two elders. After all, no one would feel at ease when it came to matters concerning their lives and property.

It seems that I have to visit Minister Li's home with Lou Xiaoe when I have time. With his own drawings, Minister Li's current situation is much better than in the original drama.
