Siheyuan: Cao Liang's rise

After dinner, Cao Liang went for a walk.

The wind will blow next year, so what he needs to do now is to keep a low profile, take a walk when he has nothing to do, or go fishing when he has time.

It can be considered as entering old age early.

Lou Xiao'e came to Cao Liang's house in the front yard, took a look inside, and then asked Meng Xiaoxing, "Xingzi, where is yours?"

"I went for a walk, what else can I do?"

Meng Xiaoxing replied with a smile.

In fact, she was a little confused. In the past two years, that guy often went out and was very busy.

But since the end of last year until now, that guy seems like a different person.

Apart from going to work, I am almost always at home, and go fishing when I have free time.

She also joked that Cao Liang had already started his retirement life at such a young age.

But Cao Liang just smiled and said nothing.

Meng Xiaoxing moved two stools and the two of them sat at the door and chatted.

Lou Xiao'e looked at Meng Xiaoxing's slightly bulging belly and said enviously, "It's been almost three months, right? It's starting to get bigger."

"Exactly three months." Meng Xiaoxing nodded.

Lou Xiao'e asked: "Xingzi, do you like boys or girls?"

Meng Xiaoxing smiled and said, "As for me, I prefer boys. After all, the elders in my family all want a boy, but my husband probably won't mind."

"That's right. Judging from the way Cao Liang dotes on Yaya, he's not the kind of person who values ​​boys over friends. Xingzi, you're really lucky to have met such a good man."

Lou Xiao'e said dejectedly.

“I also feel very lucky.”

Meng Xiaoxing smiled, then saw Lou Xiao'e's depressed look, and knew what she was thinking, so she comforted her: "Xiao'e, you don't have to be envious, maybe one day you will get pregnant too!"

“I guess it’s difficult.”

Lou Xiao'e said bitterly.

When Cao Liang and Meng Xiaoxing first got married, they didn't get pregnant for more than a year.

At that time, Lou Xiao'e felt that she had found a like-minded person, and she and Meng Xiaoxing became good friends who could talk about anything and they appreciated each other.

But who would have known that Meng Xiaoxing was actually pregnant this year.

Meng Xiaoxing seemed to be hesitant to talk.

Lou Xiao'e didn't notice it, but asked curiously: "Xingzi, how did you get pregnant? Is there any trick?"

Everyone was the same at the beginning, so why did Meng Xiaoxing suddenly get pregnant?

She couldn't figure it out.

Meng Xiaoxing blushed and said, "In fact, it was Liangzi who said that he wanted to spend more time with me as our own, so he didn't plan to have children."

"what?"

Lou Xiao'e was surprised and asked, "Is it possible to control pregnancy?"

"Liangzi said it was possible, but I don't know."

Meng Xiaoxing said somewhat embarrassedly.

She and Cao Liang did that a lot, but nothing ever happened.

At first, she also thought there was something wrong with her body.

Finally after he told Cao Liang about it, Cao Liang told him that he did it on purpose.

She was a little skeptical at first, but after knowing that she was pregnant this year, she was sure.

"How do you control it?"

Lou Xiao'e couldn't help but ask.

"do not know."

Meng Xiaoxing shook her head. "How about I ask Liangzi for you?"

"How can I be so embarrassed about this?"

Lou Xiao'e blushed instantly.

She and Meng Xiaoxing are besties and good friends, so there is nothing wrong with talking about these things.

But if Cao Liang knew about it, how would she face anyone?

Meng Xiaoxing couldn't help but ask, "Xiao'e, have you ever thought that maybe your inability to get pregnant isn't your problem?"

Lou Xiao'e was surprised and said, "Isn't it the woman's fault that she can't get pregnant?"

This is how it is in this era. If two people have been married for many years but have no children, it is generally considered to be the woman's problem.

"uncertain."

Meng Xiaoxing shook her head and said, "Liangzi told me that having a child is not just the woman's problem. The man is also responsible. Xiao'e, have you been to the hospital for a check-up?"

Cao Liang also talked to Meng Xiaoxing about the problems between Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao in private.

He compared women to fertile fields and men to farmers responsible for sowing seeds.

But no matter how good the field is, without good seeds, no crops can grow.

But this metaphor was a bit vulgar, and Meng Xiaoxing was embarrassed to say it, so she changed her way of saying it.

"Of course I have been there, several times, but the doctors always said there was nothing wrong with me."

Lou Xiaoe replied.

"What about Xu Damao?" Meng Xiaoxing asked again.

Lou Xiao'e said depressedly: "I told him, but he just didn't want to go. He felt embarrassed."

Meng Xiaoxing hesitated for a moment and said, "Xiao'e, there is something I don't know whether I should tell you."

"Just tell me."

Lou Xiao'e said casually: "With the relationship between us, is there anything we can't talk about?"

Meng Xiaoxing hesitated for a moment before saying, "In fact, Liangzi said that your inability to have children should be due to Xu Damao's problem."

"Did he really say that?"

Lou Xiaoe's eyes widened.

Meng Xiaoxing nodded seriously.

"So it was him. No wonder he didn't want to go for a check-up with me."

Lou Xiao'e said angrily: "I didn't want to marry him at first because he often went to the countryside to have affairs and had a bad reputation, but in the end I had no choice but to agree because my dad nodded. It must be a problem left over from that time."

what?

This time it was Meng Xiaoxing's turn to be surprised.

She didn't hear Cao Liang say this.

But she still said, "Liangzi didn't tell me this. He said that the reason he suspected Xu Damao had a problem was because he and Sha Zhu had been at odds since they were young. They would fight whenever they met. Sha Zhu was ruthless and often attacked people in other ways. He suspected that Xu Damao had a problem because of Sha Zhu's beating."

"this......"

Lou Xiao'e didn't know what to say anymore.

Seeing this, Meng Xiaoxing said, "Xiao'e, I think you can go talk to Xu Damao, maybe he will be willing to go for a check-up."

"I'll go back and tell you now."

After saying this, Lou Xiao'e went back.

Meng Xiaoxing couldn't help but feel a little worried, wondering if telling her this would have any negative impact.

When Cao Liang came back, she told him about this.

Cao Liang was also stunned when he heard this, then he smiled and said, "It's okay, they have quarreled more than once or twice, and their personalities are not compatible. Even if this didn't happen, they wouldn't get far."

Because they had no children, Xu Damao and his wife had a small quarrel every three days and a big quarrel every five days. Everyone in the courtyard was used to it.

And judging by the time, the two are not far from getting divorced.

Meng Xiaoxing told Lou Xiaoe all this, which might have accelerated the progress, but it didn't matter.

With him around, what waves can Xu Damao make?

"How can you say that to someone?"

Meng Xiaoxing rolled her eyes at Cao Liang and said angrily.

But after hearing what Cao Liang said, she felt much better.

Otherwise, if there is a rift in the couple's relationship, and she thinks it is her fault, then she would be committing a sin.

She didn't want to say it at first, but when she saw Lou Xiao'e so lost, she couldn't help but tell her.
