Lin Donglai had nothing to do when he woke up. Thinking of the holes in his sister's schoolbag, he decided to go to the department store.

Just as he reached the gate of the courtyard, the third aunt came towards him and said with a smile: "Dongla, you are going to be an uncle soon, congratulations."

In the eyes of the third aunt, this is a great happy event for both the Shazhu family and the Lin family.

Because their two families are close relatives, they even eat together and are closer than ordinary relatives.

Hearing what Third Aunt said, Lin Donglai was a little surprised: "Third Aunt, how did you know about this? Have Brother Zhuzi and the others returned from the hospital?"

"That's right. They just returned to the Central Court not long ago. This was told to me by Sha Zhu himself. If you don't believe me, go ask him."

The third aunt was afraid that Lin Donglai would not believe her, so she took out the candies that Sha Zhu had given her from her pocket and said, "Hey! You gave me some candies too."

Lin Donglai didn't say anything else, saying that he was going out for a while, and he pushed his bicycle and was about to go out.

Unexpectedly, the three aunts followed closely and helped him lift the back seat of the car. When Lin Donglai looked back and saw it, he asked in confusion:

"Third Auntie, do you have anything else to do? I'm in a hurry."

Probably because he was busy in the space too late last night and didn't get enough sleep, when Lin Donglai woke up, he had slept much longer than usual.

He had to get there before the department store closed and didn't want to waste too much time chatting with the three aunts.

The third aunt still smiled and said, "Dongla, I have something I don't know if I should tell you."

"Third Aunt, please stop keeping me in suspense. Just tell me what you want to say. I'm really in a hurry."

"Well, Donglai, look at Silly Zhu's wife, isn't your cousin about to give birth? Your family shouldn't have enough manpower, right?"

It turned out that after the third aunt learned that Lingzi was pregnant, she thought for a while and then remembered one thing: Shazhu lost his mother when he was very young.

His wife is going to give birth and he has to go to work, so it is estimated that no one will be able to help him when the time comes.

In this case, it was not too much for her to take the initiative to help take care of the mother and child and earn some money from their family to supplement the family income.

Living in the same compound, she can not only take care of the household but also earn money. Who knows how her husband will praise her then.

Lin Donglai was not able to react for a moment to what Third Aunt said. His first reaction was: Why does Third Aunt only think about these trivial things?

Not to mention anything else, even if there is really no one in Shazhu's family to help take care of Sister Lingzi when she gives birth, then we can just invite my third uncle and his wife to come to the city to help.

It is not her turn as an outsider to interfere in this matter, but these are things for the future.

It was difficult to judge what had not happened, so he did not refuse outright. After thinking for a while, he said to the third aunt:

"Third Aunt, do you want to help Brother Zhuzi and the others take care of the children?" Upon hearing this, Third Aunt nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"This matter still has the final say between Zhuzi and his wife. I can't promise you. How about this, I'll ask for you when I have time."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Donglai got on his bicycle and pedaled out of the alley.

Lin Donglai's words made the third aunt very happy. She thought that not refusing was the same as agreeing, and her steps as she walked back to the yard were much lighter.

In the blink of an eye, it was time for the children to go home from school, and there were more and more children in the yard.

The adults who worked also got off work one after another and rushed back to the courtyard.

As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for people. These days, everyone is short of oil and water, and what they eat at noon is nothing more than a steamed bun and a vegetarian dish.

By this time I was already starving, so the first thing I did when I got home was to make dinner.

After Sha Zhu accompanied his wife back from the hospital for a check-up in the afternoon, he stretched his neck to look outside the hospital, hoping that Xu Damao would return.

He made up his mind that as soon as he saw Xu Damao return to the yard, he would rush out to show off the fruits of his labor to him.

By the way, retaliate and ridicule him, let him see how powerful you are.

During the time she was married to Sha Zhu, Lingzi had already figured out the mutually exclusive relationship between him and Xu Damao, as well as the reasons behind it.

Before he could look around for too long, he shouted that he was hungry and asked Sha Zhu to go and cook for himself.

As a happy event happened today, Sha Zhu was very happy. He obediently went to the kitchen and cooked several dishes in one go.

Then he walked to the front yard, intending to invite Lin Donglai and his sister to his house for dinner, but he knocked on the door several times and no one responded.

Sha Zhu simply moved a chair and sat in front of the Lin family's door. On the one hand, he could wait for the brother and sister to eat, and on the other hand, he wanted to wait for Xu Damao.

In the end, Xu Damao was not waited for, but only Lin Donglai and his sister who returned home one after another.

Seeing Sha Zhu sitting in front of his house, Lin Donglai asked in confusion: "Brother Zhu, do you have something urgent to talk to me about?"

"Hey! It's not an emergency, it's a happy event. Donglai, I'm going to be a father! You should also get ready, you're going to be an uncle soon."

Sha Zhu laughed so hard that his mouth almost reached his ears.

Although Lin Donglai had heard about this from the third aunt, he still pretended to be surprised and quickly congratulated him.

At this time, Lin Dongyi had just put down her schoolbag and was playing with Xiao Heidou. When she heard the conversation between the two, she came over:

"Brother, then I will be an aunt. That's great! I hope Sister Lingzi gives birth to a beautiful little girl, and I will braid her hair."

When Sha Zhu heard this, his face changed. He wanted a big fat son and was sure that Lingzi must be pregnant with a boy.

So he put away the smile on his face and said, "Dong Yi, your sister Lingzi is not pregnant with a girl, but a boy."

Lin Dongyi curled his lips: "That's not necessarily true."

Seeing that Sha Zhu and his sister were about to start a verbal battle, Lin Donglai stepped out to act as a peacemaker: "Stop arguing, you two. We will know whether it's a boy or a girl when the time comes."

"Besides, no matter whether it's a boy or a girl, it's the child of Zhuzi and Lingzi, they will like it, right Zhuzi?"

Hearing Lin Donglai's words, Sha Zhu nodded in agreement: "Well, the meal is ready, let's go home and eat together."

After eating, they walked towards the central courtyard together. Lingzi had already set the table, and when she saw them coming, she greeted them with a smile.

Lin Dongyi sweetly called her Sister Lingzi, and then congratulated her, hoping that she could give birth to a beautiful little girl to play with her.

Lingzi immediately agreed with a smile and put a large piece of braised pork in her bowl. The little girl started eating happily.

When Sha Zhu heard the conversation between the two, the smile disappeared from his face and he seemed absent-minded while eating.

Lingzi soon noticed his disappointment, nudged him with her elbow, and asked softly, "Zhuzi, what's wrong?"

Sha Zhu glanced at Lin Dongyi who was eating meat with big mouthfuls. He was too embarrassed to mention the reason for his unhappiness, so he could only say a few casual words perfunctorily.

All of this did not escape Lin Donglai's eyes. He smiled and comforted her: "Brother Zhuzi, Dongyi is still young, you can't take her words seriously."

When Lingzi heard this, she finally understood why Shazhu was so unhappy, and her face immediately turned stern...
