Siheyuan: Rebirth of Liu Ergou

Just after having morning tea at nine o'clock in the morning, Liu Ying and Liu Yi were still immersed in the leisurely atmosphere. The biting cold wind blew through the window and sprinkled every corner of the dining room, making the whole space full of cold air. Liu Yi quickly lit the fire in the fireplace and ran outside to light a cigarette and smoke. However, this tranquility did not last long. With the arrival of Lou Xiao'e's parents, Lou Bancheng and Lou Tan, a small storm quietly arose.

Lou Bancheng and Lou Tan walked into Liu Yi's home, their faces filled with joy and anticipation. They came to visit their daughter Lou Xiao'e, and seeing her big belly, their hearts were filled with indescribable happiness. Lou Xiao'e was their beloved, and now she was about to become a mother, how could they not feel relieved?

Liu Ying warmly received Lou Bancheng and Lou Tanshi, as she knew how much the two elderly people loved Lou Xiaoe. During the chat, Lou Bancheng suddenly made a suggestion: "Liu Ying, look at Xiaoe's belly. The doctor said last time that she was pregnant with twins. Maybe she could give birth to triplets! If that's true, how about adopting one to our Lou family?"

Liu Ying's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. She knew that Lou Xiao'e had always been very sensitive about this topic and hated it when others mentioned adoptive children. However, looking at the expectant eyes of Lou Bancheng and Lou Tan, she couldn't bear to refuse. So, she agreed despite Lou Xiao'e's objection.

Lou Xiao'e listened to this, her face becoming increasingly ugly. She had not expected her parents to make such a request at this time, and she had not expected Liu Ying to agree to it. She felt annoyed and could not help but get angry at Liu Yi: "Liu Yi, how could you do this? You knew I did not want to adopt a child, but you still asked Sister Liu Ying to agree to them!"

Liu Yi looked at Lou Xiao'e innocently. He didn't expect things to turn out like this. He smiled bitterly and apologized to Lou Xiao'e: "Xiao'e, I'm sorry, I really didn't think that much. I just felt that they were looking forward to it so much, I..."

Lou Xiao'e looked at Liu Yi's helpless expression, and her anger grew even stronger. She felt betrayed by everyone, even her beloved husband stood against her. In a rage, she turned around and left the dining room and returned to her room.

Liu Ying felt sad as she watched Lou Xiao'e leave. She knew she had done something wrong this time and shouldn't have agreed to Lou Bancheng and Lou Tan's request without considering Lou Xiao'e's feelings. She walked to Liu Yi and patted his shoulder gently: "Liu Yi, go and persuade Xiao'e. I know she is upset, go and comfort her."

Liu Yi nodded. He knew he had to comfort Lou Xiao'e. He walked to the door of Lou Xiao'e's room and knocked gently: "Xiao'e, please open the door. I know you are upset. I am here to apologize to you."

Lou Xiao'e listened to Liu Yi's voice in the room, and her anger subsided a little. She opened the door, looked at Liu Yi's sincere expression, and couldn't help crying: "Liu Yi, I really don't want to adopt a child. They are our children, and I don't want them to leave us."

Liu Yi hugged Lou Xiao'e tightly, he understood her feelings. He knew that Lou Xiao'e had always been looking forward to becoming a mother and looking forward to raising her own child. He comforted her softly: "Xiao'e, I know how you feel. I can't bear to part with our child. But your parents are really looking forward to having a descendant of the Lou family. Can we think of another way? Or wait until the child is born and then discuss it with them? By the way, my father-in-law said that if he adopted one, he would not take the child away, but just let one child have the surname Lou," looking at the silly Lou Xiao'e, Liu Yi couldn't help but sigh to the sky!

After listening to Liu Yi's words, Lou Xiao'e felt a little better. She knew that Liu Yi had always been thinking about her and trying to balance the relationship between the two sides. She wiped her tears and nodded: "Okay. Let's discuss it with them after the baby is born."

Liu Yi and Lou Xiao'e returned to the dining room, both with smiles on their faces, which made Lou Bancheng and Lou Tan happy. They knew that their children were about to become parents, and this joy could not be expressed in words. They were looking forward to having a descendant of the Lou family, but at the same time they also understood the feelings of Lou Xiao'e and Liu Yi. They knew that no matter what the result was, they would fully support their children.

Lou Bancheng smiled and said, "Whether the surname is Liu or Lou, they are all treasures of our Lou family!" Lou Tan also echoed, "Yes, as long as the child is healthy."

Liu Yi looked at the two elderly people with gratitude. He knew how much their support meant. He said softly, "Thank you, Mom and Dad. I will definitely take good care of Xiao'e and the child."

Lou Xiao'e was so moved that her eyes became wet. She held Liu Yi's hand tightly and said, "Thank you, husband."

Liu Ying also laughed happily and said, "That's great! I will have a nephew or niece!"

This little disturbance was thus calmed down. Liu Ying, Liu Yi, Lou Xiao'e, Lou Bancheng and Lou Tan all sat together, enjoying this beautiful morning. They talked about their future life, the children who were about to be born, and their expectations and dreams for each other. In this warm big family, everyone was full of hope and happiness. They knew that no matter what difficulties and challenges they would encounter in the future, they would work together to face the beauty of life.
