Siheyuan: How the Little People Live

Xu Damao was also full, but he still felt annoyed when he looked at Lou Xiao'e next to him.

Although he had been married before Sha Zhu, he and Lou Xiao'e had been living together for nearly three years, but they were still not pregnant.

Sometimes Xu Damao really suspected that Lou Xiao'e was unable to have children. Every time he talked to him about this, Lou Xiao'e would get very angry and return to her parents' home.

He often asked Lou Xiao'e to go to the hospital for check-ups. They tried all kinds of prescriptions, but the two of them just couldn't have a child. He wondered in his heart if it was the same as with his uncle Yi Zhonghai's family. If so, their Xu family would be childless.

"Xiao E, go to bed. I have something else to do. I'll be out for a while and come back later."

Without waiting for Lou Xiao'e to speak, Xu Damao rushed out.

When Lou Xiao'e saw her husband Xu Damao like this, she looked lost.

Thinking back to the time when Xu Damao was pursuing me, he said all kinds of sweet words to me and gave me all the delicious food. I actually thought I had really met my prince charming.

But over the past few years, she finally faced the reality that there is no such thing as a Prince Charming in reality. The two of them had quarreled countless times over the issue of children.

She thought about divorce, but every time she went back to tell her parents about it, her family disagreed.

Over time, she accepted her fate and didn't even clean up the dishes on the table. She went back to bed angrily and went to sleep under the quilt.

Xu Damao didn't know what Lou Xiao'e was thinking. At this time, he walked to the central courtyard and looked at the Jia family's house. He found that there were still some details in the Jia family's house with white cloth hanging.

"Jia Dongxu, you have come to this day."

Xu Damao smiled grimly. Jia Dongxu was the oldest among them and the first one to get married.

Xu Damao, on the other hand, was targeted everywhere by Jia Dongxu and Sha Zhu, but he also had a spirit of unwillingness to admit defeat in his heart, and even married the daughter of the former chairman of the board.

Unfortunately, this daughter-in-law is not doing well. Qin Huairu has already given birth to her third child, but there is no movement in her belly.

Jia Dongxu and Sha Zhu often gossiped about him, but unfortunately he had no way to refute them.

Today, when I saw the Jia family hanging up a white cloth, I confirmed that Jia Dongshi was indeed dead. The previous resentment also dissipated between heaven and earth in an instant.

Thinking about my peers dying like this, I feel like the dog is abandoned after the rabbit has died. After all, the people who died in the past were elders and I had no contact with them at all.

Xu Damao murmured something, shook his head, and prepared to step towards the front yard.

As for knocking on the Jia family’s door and burning a stick of incense, forget it.

Xu Damao was a narrow-minded person. Even though the person was dead, he didn't have such a big heart.

What’s more, it’s late at night, and the Jia family is now left with only orphans and widows.

If Qin Huairu was the only one at home, he wouldn't suggest going directly to her house, but he would forget about it if it was the crazy woman Jia Zhang.

When we arrived at the front yard of the Ye family’s house, the lights were still on.

I hurried forward and knocked on the door, but when I came to my senses, I realized I had forgotten about it. It seemed that I had come empty-handed without any gifts, and I felt a little uneasy for a moment.

Ye Wenwu and the others had already finished their dinner, and the farce caused by Qin Huairu ended early.

The three of them were in the main hall, discussing what they would ask their cousin-in-law Liu Mei to bring back tomorrow, mainly the things that were most in need in the village.

If it's rice, noodles and other things, it's not easy for my cousin Liu Mei to carry them all by herself.

"Cousin, let me tell you this. Anyway, we don't know what we need at home right now. If we buy something and can't use it, it would be a waste. How about you bring some candy and some pork back tomorrow?"

Ye Wenwu thought about it. After all, his eldest uncle and his family might have rebuilt a house in the group. Even if he bought things for them now, they wouldn't have a good place to put them. Besides, he didn't bring any gifts when he went there for the first time. There were many children in his eldest and second uncles' families, so it would be far better to bring some candies.

As for the pork, he was afraid that his eldest uncle and second uncle's families would be building houses, so he was reluctant to give it away. He thought it would be better for him to take some with him. If he left it there and didn't eat it, the pork would go bad. When the time came, those who helped build the houses would have a few bites and would work hard.

What's more, the children are so thin that they are just skin and bones. It would be a good opportunity to get some supplements.

Finally, Ye Wenwu expressed his thoughts to his cousin and his wife.

"Okay, cousin, we were originally planning to bring some rice and flour back with us, but now we think it would be more cost-effective to buy them at the commune if we have the money."

"But your cousin has some meat tickets, but sugar tickets."

Ye Wenwu returned to his house, took out a candy ticket from a small box in a small drawer, and handed it to his cousin's wife.

"You take these tickets and money, cousin. You already owe me so much, so it doesn't matter if you owe me a little more."

Ye Wenwu said with a laugh. His cousin and cousin-in-law also knew what Ye Wenwu meant, but they said that because they were afraid that they would feel embarrassed to continue.

They could only keep this matter to themselves, and plan to visit the matchmaker's house when their wives come back in a few days to introduce a few wives to Wenwu.

After all, Ye Wenwu is now in his twenties. When he was his age, everyone in the village already had children.

Since Ye Wenwu's parents and his uncle and aunt are no longer around, as the eldest brother, he must take care of this matter for his younger brother.

Ye Wenwu sat down with a smile on his face. He didn't know yet that his cousin had already arranged a blind date for him. If he knew, he would have wanted to pin his cousin down on the table and beat him.

"Dong dong dong."

There was a hurried knock on the door.

"What good day is today? Why do people keep coming to our place?"

Cousin Zhang Xingbang was a little surprised. Qin Huairu left and someone else came right after.

"Cousin, you guys should also get ready to rest. I'll see who's coming. Anyway, because of what happened last time, they don't dare to do anything rash."

Ye Wenwu urged his cousin and his wife to go and rest and not to argue with the group of people outside.

Ye Wenwu opened the door and found that the person who came was Xu Damao, whom he had met last time in the commune town.

But what was the matter that Xu Damao came to see me so late? And I didn't see Xu Damao report to the factory during the day, so Xu Damao must have come back tonight.

"Xu Damao? What's the matter with you coming to my place so late at night?"
