Dressed as a little fool: marry and have children

Chapter 124: The Apprentices Who Were Congratulated “Inexplicably”

Although Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai did not deliberately lower their voices during the lunch break, their conversation was inadvertently heard throughout the steel mill. The sun shone through the treetops onto the windows of the cafeteria, creating mottled light and shadows. When the workers lined up for lunch, they whispered to each other, with meaningful smiles on their faces.

"Congratulations to your master." One by one, the workers said to the fat man and Ma Hua who were serving food. There was some sincerity in their words, but most of them were just joining in the fun.

Fatty and Ma Hua looked at each other, confused for a moment. Although they noticed that Master He Yuzhu was in a good mood recently, they didn't know what the happy event was. However, as apprentices, they naturally wouldn't show a puzzled look on this occasion.

"Thank you, thank you." Fatty and Ma Hua responded with a smile, while secretly guessing what the master had done to congratulate him. They couldn't help but play out all kinds of short plays in their minds, imagining various possibilities: Did the master get promoted? Did he get rich? Or...

Fatty and Ma Hua looked at each other, with a flash of fear in their eyes. They almost simultaneously thought of an extremely impossible idea - could it be that the master's wife had passed away? This thought made them shudder involuntarily, as if a gust of cold wind penetrated their bodies.

However, as soon as this idea came to their mind, they quickly rejected it. They knew that such speculation was disrespectful to the master and his family. So, they quickly said "Pooh" twice in their hearts, as if to drive away this ominous thought, and then silently said "sin, sin", hoping to atone for their inappropriate thoughts.

After lunch, Fatty and Ma Hua hurriedly packed up and almost ran into the kitchen. They saw He Yuzhu sitting there, looking a little dazed, wondering what he was thinking.

Ma Hua walked forward and asked tentatively, "Master, what happened to you?" His voice was full of concern and worry.

He Yuzhu was brought back to reality by Ma Hua's voice. He raised his head and looked at Ma Hua in confusion. He didn't understand why Ma Hua asked this question, as nothing had happened to him.

The fat man saw that Ma Hua didn't ask the key point, and He Yuzhu looked confused, so he became anxious. So he pushed Ma Hua away, walked to He Yuzhu, and asked anxiously: "Master, everyone is congratulating you today, but we don't know anything and can only smile. Just tell us, what's going on?"

He Yuzhu was stunned when he heard the fat man's words, and then he fell into deep thought. He remembered the conversation with Qin Huairu in the morning. He didn't expect that she not only liked to take advantage of others, but also had a big mouth.

He shook his head helplessly, looked at the two curious disciples in front of him, and said, "Your master's wife is pregnant. I may have a child in my old age."

As soon as the words fell, the kitchen suddenly became quiet. The air seemed to freeze, and everyone's eyes were focused on He Yuzhu. After a few seconds, it was as if a spring breeze blew across the lake, and the kitchen suddenly boiled, as if a group of ducks entered the pond.

"Congratulations, Squad Leader He!", "Master is going to have a baby!", "That's great, we are going to have a little junior brother!"... The voices of congratulations and blessings came one after another, full of joy and warmth.

Several experienced chefs and assistants came over, holding He Yuzhu's hands and enthusiastically sharing their parenting experiences. Their faces were filled with smiles, as if their own children were about to be born.

Some people told him how to take care of pregnant women, some shared how to buy baby products, and some taught him how to change diapers for his baby...

Although He Yuzhu had no real parenting experience, he was not bored. He listened patiently to everyone's sharing, and every word and every suggestion was deeply imprinted in his mind.

Whenever someone offered practical parenting advice, he would nod slightly to show his agreement and understanding, his eyes full of gratitude.

Although He Yuzhu has no real parenting experience, he does not mind it. He listens carefully to everyone's sharing, nodding from time to time. If he hears some practical and insightful suggestions, he will take the initiative to ask questions.

Seeing He Yuzhu so dedicated and serious, the people who were communicating with He Yuzhu became even more enthusiastic, and they shared their experiences and insights more enthusiastically.

When the kitchen was tidy and everyone was ready to leave, one of the kitchen helpers was still reluctant to leave and said to He Yuzhu: "Captain He, I will share more with you tomorrow."

He Yuzhu smiled and thanked the lady, then picked up his lunch box and walked briskly towards the courtyard. He planned to go back to cook and then pick up Liu Xiuxiu.
