Dressed as a little fool: marry and have children

Chapter 123 Yi Zhonghai Hope

That morning, the sun shone brightly in the courtyard. He Yuzhu went out early to buy fresh eggs and returned home full of joy. As soon as he entered the gate of the courtyard, he ran into Qin Huairu who was about to go to work.

Qin Huairu saw He Yuzhu holding a basket of eggs, her eyes lit up, and she came forward to greet him enthusiastically: "Silly Zhu, you went to buy eggs? You can't finish so many, do you want to give a few to my Huaihua? She has never eaten eggs since she was born."

When He Yuzhu heard what Qin Huairu said, a trace of displeasure flashed across his face. He knew that Qin Huairu was testing him and trying to take advantage of him. But he did not show it, but responded with a smile: "Sister-in-law Qin, I'm sorry, these eggs are specially bought for Xiuxiu. She has not been feeling well recently, and the doctor said that she needs more nourishment. These eggs are not enough, and I really can't even them out."

Qin Huairu was disappointed when she heard what He Yuzhu said. But she didn't give up and continued to probe: "Oh, what's wrong with Xiuxiu? Do you need to replenish your body? Is there any good news?"

He Yuzhu looked at Qin Huairu's inquiring eyes, and felt disgusted. But he did not show it, and continued to smile, saying: "Sister-in-law Qin, Xiuxiu is pregnant recently, and we are preparing to go to the hospital for a check-up. So these eggs are prepared for her, and I really can't evenly distribute them."

When Qin Huairu heard the news, she widened her eyes in shock and looked at He Yuzhu in disbelief. She didn't expect that He Yuzhu and Liu Xiuxiu would have a child so soon. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

He Yuzhu looked at Qin Huairu's shocked expression and felt satisfied. He knew that Qin Huairu had often used the fact that she was not pregnant to attack Liu Xiuxiu, and now that Qin Huairu knew this news, it was the best revenge for her.

So he continued, "Sister Qin, I have to send Xiuxiu to work soon, so I won't chat with you." After that, he picked up the basket of eggs and walked home.

Qin Huairu stood there, watching He Yuzhu's back as he left, feeling mixed emotions. She knew she had really miscalculated this time, and a trace of reluctance flashed through her heart.

When He Yuzhu returned home with a basket of eggs, he saw that Liu Xiuxiu had woken up and was washing up in the bathroom. He did not disturb her and went straight to the kitchen and started to get busy.

He first picked out two eggs from the basket, carefully washed off the dirt on the eggshells, put them into the pot and started cooking, then washed and wiped the other eggs clean and put them into the jar where the eggs were previously stored.

At this time, Liu Xiuxiu had already packed up and walked into the kitchen. Seeing He Yuzhu boiling eggs for her, she smiled sweetly: "Brother Yuzhu, am I late?"

He Yuzhu looked up at her, his eyes full of tenderness: "No, I got up early, come and eat, the porridge is just the right temperature now."

Liu Xiuxiu was moved to sit at the dining table, eating the porridge that He Yuzhu cooked for her, her heart filled with happiness. After breakfast, He Yuzhu took the eggs out of the cold water, wiped them with a clean cloth, and carefully put them in Liu Xiuxiu's messenger bag.

Then, he supported Liu Xiuxiu, and they walked towards the street office together. Along the way, He Yuzhu kept reminding Liu Xiuxiu to take care of her health and not to get tired or catch a cold. Liu Xiuxiu listened to his advice, and her heart was filled with warmth and security.

After sending Liu Xiuxiu to the street office, He Yuzhu gave her a few more instructions before leaving. He hurried to the steel mill. While on the way, he thought about buying a bicycle for easy travel. But bicycle tickets were hard to get, so he started thinking about how to solve this problem.

At the same time, Qin Huairu's mood was like the weather in April, sometimes bright and sometimes dark. After learning that Liu Xiuxiu was pregnant, she seemed to have lost her direction, and her original firm plan was ruthlessly broken by reality.

She originally wanted to wait for Banggeng to follow Jia Dongxu's old path, and then let him become He Yuzhu's disciple when he was older. In that way, He Yuzhu's salary and house would become part of the Jia family.

But now, all of this seems to have come to nothing. Qin Huairu's face lost its former rosy color, replaced by an indescribable frustration.

She began to anxiously think whether there were other ways to achieve her goal. This anxiety was like a tangled mess, binding her tightly and making her unable to extricate herself.

Under the influence of such emotions, Qin Huairu made frequent mistakes at work. Her originally skilled movements became slow and her eyes revealed a hint of panic.

Yi Zhonghai saw all of this. He frowned, looking at Qin Huairu's busy but disorganized figure, and a feeling of dissatisfaction surged in his heart.

He knew Qin Huairu's ability, and also knew that she was usually diligent and serious. But now, she seemed like a different person, which made him very puzzled.

Finally, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but speak. There was a hint of blame and dissatisfaction in his voice: "Qin Huairu, what's wrong with you? Why are you so uneasy? Look at what you have done. If this continues, are you going to give up?"

Yi Zhonghai looked at Qin Huairu's flustered and confused eyes. Although his tone was harsh, his heart was full of concern. He did not really blame her, but hoped that she could get back to her normal state as soon as possible.

He reached out and took the part that Qin Huairu had failed to forge, and began to forge it again patiently. Every movement seemed so focused, as if the whole world was left with only him and the part in his hand.

Qin Huairu looked at Yi Zhonghai's back and knew that he was helping her, so she pursed her lips and said apologetically, "Uncle, I know I was wrong. I was really surprised that Liu Xiuxiu was pregnant. I didn't expect that she would get pregnant so soon after taking the medicine for only a few months. I'm sorry to disappoint you."

When Yi Zhonghai heard this, he paused. A complex emotion flashed through his mind. He also thought of Liu Xiuxiu's pregnancy, and even began to imagine how great it would be if a lady could also get pregnant.

But now is not the right time, and he quickly suppressed this thought. He knew that he had come this far over the years, and there was no need to rush. So, he took a deep breath, put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, and continued to focus on the work at hand.
