The beginning of Siheyuan starts with refusing to bring lunch boxes

"Auntie, are you going to buy some groceries?"

"Well, it's the weekend, let's do something good"

Half an hour later, Yi Zhonghai also left the house...

North City, at the hospital entrance, the two of them had a checkup together

After several hours of waiting, I finally got the report.

"Are you Yi Zhonghai and Li Xiaocui? Do you want to find out why you can't have children?"

"Doctor, I'm Li Xiaocui!" The aunt looked at the doctor nervously.

"You can have children, but your health is not good," the doctor said after looking at the test results of an old lady.

"Doctor, are you saying that I am fertile? Can I have children?"

"Well, judging from the test results, yes, you can get pregnant even now, but now you are an older mother and your health is not very good, so the risk is relatively high."

"Yi Zhonghai, you have necrospermia, which cannot be treated at the current domestic level," the doctor said, holding Yi Zhonghai's test results.

Yi Zhonghai heard that this conclusion was the same as it was more than a decade ago, but he still pretended to be unacceptable, "Doctor, how could it be!?"

Ten minutes later, the two left the hospital and found a quiet place in the park to sit down.

"Xiao Cui, what are your plans?" Yi Zhonghai asked disappointedly.

Seeing that there was no one around, the old lady covered her face and started crying. Yi Zhonghai wanted to pat her on the back to comfort her, but his raised hand could not be lowered for a long time.

Yi Zhonghai knew very well that he had wasted his wife's life and he had also blamed her for his infertility, making her bear the stigma of "a chicken that can't lay eggs" for twenty years. He didn't know how to comfort her and could only sigh in the end.

Ten minutes later, the aunt was tired of crying, wiped her tears, and looked at Yi Zhonghai, "Old Yi, my wish has come true. I just know that I can give birth, and we can live a good life in the future."

"Well, live a good life," Yi Zhonghai said, patting the old lady's hand.

"Lao Yi, I want to adopt a child. The three difficult years have just passed, and there should be some suitable children in the orphanage."

Yi Zhonghai did not answer this time. After a long while, Yi Zhonghai said, "Okay, let's go to the street to ask next Sunday."

"Thank you, Lao Yi," the aunt grabbed Yi Zhonghai's hand and said excitedly

Chapter 46 Meeting Lou Xiao'e Again in the Library

After the conference, He Yuzhu rode his bike to the library

He returned Childhood first, and then found In the World, which tells the story of a boy named Alyosha who refuses to succumb to fate and circumstances and keeps learning and growing.

He Yuzhu was so engrossed in the story, but he didn't notice that while he was engrossed in the story, someone else was also engrossed in him. This is like you appreciating a painting, but you don't know that you have already become the scenery in someone else's painting.

Today, Lou Xiao'e waited in the library before it opened. At ten o'clock, she still didn't see that person. Originally, she thought that person might not come again today, and she was feeling depressed. But when she wanted to give up, that person appeared. The appearance of that person was like a ray of light that tore through the dark clouds for Lou Xiao'e. She still secretly watched him like the first time, until the person got up to leave at noon.

Lou Xiao'e was a little conflicted at this moment. She wanted to ask his name and work unit, but she was afraid that he already had a boyfriend. When He Yuzhu was about to reach the counter, she gritted her teeth, ran over, and said with a red face, "Hello, comrade!" This sentence seemed to have used up all her strength. She felt a little weak at this moment.

He Yuzhu turned around and found a chubby, pretty-faced female comrade with two pigtails. However, He Yuzhu did not recognize her, so he asked, "Hello, what can I do for you?"

The female comrade in front of him had a red face, lowered her head, and kept grabbing the corners of her clothes with both hands. She stammered but couldn't say a complete sentence. "Lady, may I ask what you want from me?" He Yuzhu could only ask again

A lady passing by couldn't stand it anymore and said, "I didn't realize that this girl fell in love with you. You are such a thick-skinned guy."

Hearing this, He Yuzhu was speechless and a little proud. How about it, Master Zhu, I am excellent, right? Hehe

Lou Xiao'e was so embarrassed that her face turned red. She lowered her head even lower. She wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into and run away. However, she knew that if she ran away, she would never know when she would see him again. So, she closed her eyes, lowered her head, stretched out her right hand and said, "Hello, comrade, my name is Lou Xiao'e, I'm 20 years old, and I want to meet you!"

Looking at the girl in front of him, He Yuzhu also found it interesting. But when he heard her say her name was Lou Xiao'e, he was a little surprised. Because according to the plot development, Lou Xiao'e would marry Xu Damao in the second half of the year. But now it seems that Lou Xiao'e wants to confess her love to him. Does this count as stealing Xu Damao's girl and indirectly saving Lou Xiao'e?

"Hello, Comrade Lou Xiao'e, my name is He Yuzhu, and I'm a chef at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill." He Yuzhu stretched out his right hand and shook her hand briefly, then immediately let go. He Yuzhu felt that Lou Xiao'e's hand was very soft, and thought to himself that she was indeed a young lady, and her hands were soft even if they had never touched water.

"Are you a chef?" Lou Xiao'e felt the brief warmth coming from him. She was very shy but also liked him. But when she heard him say he was a chef, she was very surprised. When did chefs all look so delicate? Aren't they all big-headed and thick-necked? Moreover, when did chefs also read books? Shouldn't they read recipes?

"Well, is there anything else? If nothing else, I'm going home," He Yuzhu asked

"Ah? Oh, then Comrade He Yuzhu, goodbye." Hearing He Yuzhu's words, Lou Xiao'e was a little disappointed. After all, they had just said two sentences and were about to part.

As for He Yuzhu, he didn't want to have too much contact with Lou Xiao'e. He thought Lou Xiao'e was pretty, but he couldn't protect her. Although he had the title of anti-special hero, how many heroes were defeated in those ten years? Lou Xiao'e, leaving the Lou family was the best choice for them.

He Yuzhu rode his bicycle to the state-owned restaurant to eat a bowl of noodles. He looked at the time and saw that it was only one o'clock, so he rode his bicycle to Beihai Park.

I first walked around Beihai Park for a while, looking at the couples, and felt more and more lonely.

Then I found a shade tree, sat down, and continued reading.

Alyosha's life experience made He Yuzhu empathize with him, and at the same time he was happy for his perseverance in facing life's difficulties. As the pages turned, Alyosha's self-rescue inspired He Yuzhu. When He Yuzhu was completely immersed in Alyosha's world, a scream brought him back to reality.

"Brother? Why are you here?"

He Yuzhu looked up and found that it was He Yushui. He Yushui was holding the arm of a girl of the same age as her. Next to them was a girl in a floral dress who looked older than He Yushui and the other girl. He Yuzhu was stunned when he saw them.

The woman's face was as white and flawless as a lotus in midsummer, gorgeous and moving. Her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, lively and full of spirit, as if she could see through people's hearts.

"Brother! I'm asking you a question," He Yuzhu was awakened by He Yushui's voice.

"Oh, I went to the library in the morning, came here for a stroll in the afternoon, and then read a book for a while," he said, showing the book to He Yushui and the other two.

"Rainwater, what are you doing..."

"Brother, this is my classmate Song Xiaomei, this is her sister Song Xia, Sister Song Xia, and this is my brother, He Yuzhu."

"Hello, Comrade Song Xia, my name is He Yuzhu, and I am a level 7 chef in the canteen of the steel rolling mill." After saying this, He Yuzhu stretched out his right hand

"Hello, Comrade He Yuzhu is glad to meet you. I've always heard from Yushui that her brother is a chef, but when I see you in person, you don't look like a chef at all, but more like a college student." Song Xia also extended his right hand, and the two shook hands.

“Haha, maybe I’m still young.”

This sentence immediately made the Song sisters laugh.

"What are you going to do?" He Yuzhu asked

"Brother, we're going boating, do you want to come with us?"

"Comrade Song Xia, may I be lucky enough to join you?" He Yuzhu asked Song Xia politely.

Song Xia was amused by He Yuzhu's words again, "Since Comrade He Yuzhu is so sincere, we will approve your application."

He Yuzhu paid the money, and Song Xia felt embarrassed. He Yuzhu said, "It's not right for a girl to spend money when you're out." The four of them rented a boat.

He Yushui and Song Xiaomei were having fun at the bow, He Yuzhu was rowing, Song Xia and He Yuzhu were sitting face to face

"Comrade He Yuzhu, I'll just call you Brother Zhuzi. I heard from Yushui that you look 24, and I'm 21 this year. Is that okay with you?"

"Okay, it's my honor to have a beautiful lady like you call me brother."

"By the way, Brother Zhuzi, I saw you reading a book just now, what book were you reading?"

He Yuzhu handed the book to Song Xia, "It's this book 'In the World'"

"I know this book. I have read "Childhood", but I haven't read this book yet. I have always wanted to borrow it from the library, but unfortunately I have never been there."

"I just borrowed this this morning, so I'll lend it to you first. You can give it back to me after you finish reading it."

"How about that?"

"It's okay, I've seen most of it," He Yuzhu told a little lie

"Okay then, I'll finish reading it as soon as possible," Song Xia said with a blush.

He Yuzhu said something that made him wonder, "Do you really want to see me again?" He regretted it right after he said it and looked around awkwardly.

Song Xia blushed at his words, but she was not angry because she had a good impression of He Yuzhu. Although he was a cook, he was fair-skinned and liked reading. She felt that she liked him a little bit...

He Yuzhu saw that his words only made Song Xia blush, but he was not angry. He felt that he had a chance, and he was happy in his heart, so he unconsciously hummed the song "Let's Row the Boat Together".

"Let's row the oars..."

As He Yuzhu started singing, Song Xia's blushing face slowly returned to normal, and the two people playing on the bow also sang along with He Yuzhu while playing in the water.

……

The whole afternoon passed like this, He Yuzhu looked at the time and it was almost five o'clock, so the four of them left Beihai Park. Originally, He Yuzhu wanted to treat them to a meal, but Song Xia firmly disagreed. In Song Xia's opinion, after all, it was their first meeting, and in this era, eating out was a luxury. He Yuzhu had no choice but to send them home, and then returned to the courtyard with He Yushui.

On the way back to the courtyard, He Yushui asked, "Brother, what do you think of Sister Song Xia?"

He Yuzhu suddenly became nervous, but still pretended to be relaxed and said, "Very good, she is very beautiful."

"Then you can let her be my sister-in-law. I think she should have a good impression of you today. Do you want me to help you?"

"Ahem, Rainwater, your pocket money is not enough, how about I give you two dollars tomorrow as pocket money for next week?"

"Brother, I promise to complete the task," He Yushui promised immediately, but he didn't know whether he would spend all the money or something else.

……

Halfway through the journey, He Yuzhu was happy. The two of them turned around and went to the vegetable market to buy a chicken. They made a fried chicken meal for He Yushui as a reward. Those who understand will understand.

Chapter 47 Preparing to build a house, the wind of fertility knowledge blew to the steel mill

Tonight, He Yushui enjoyed the Linyi fried chicken very much. It was her first time eating it. She even ate three steamed buns, and at the end she still ate half of the steamed bun with the soup. Don't ask why there was so little chicken. It's not that the He brothers and sisters have big appetites. He Yuzhu put half of it in the lunch box in advance for He Yushui and Song Xiaomei to have as lunch tomorrow. He Yuzhu just felt that He Yushui had to learn to share delicious food with good friends.

After dinner in the evening, He Yushui happily went to clean up. As expected, if you want the horse to run, you have to feed it grass.

At 8:30 in the evening, He Yuzhu was going to the bathroom and then go to bed, but just as he went out, he heard a low cry. He Yuzhu whispered, "Who! Who's there!"

"Brother Zhuzi, it's me, Guangfu"

"Guangfu? Why don't you go back to bed so late? What's wrong with you?"

Liu Guangfu did not answer, but just sobbed.

"Did your dad hit you again?"

Liu Guangfu raised his head and asked, "Brother Zhuzi, do you think I am my father's biological son?"

He Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, then said, "Guangfu, what are you thinking about! Of course you are your father's biological son! Go back to sleep."

"But, Brother Zhuzi, why would a biological father treat his own son like this?"

He Yuzhu didn't know how to answer, so he could only say, "Guangfu, go back, otherwise your father might..."

"Well, Brother Zhuzi, I'm going to wash my face and then go back."

He Yuzhu said in his heart, "Hey, this Liu Haizhong, the old lady is right, unkind parents make unfilial children. In the original play, if Liu Haizhong and his wife were not Shazhu, they would probably have been discovered only after they became smelly. They deserved this ending, hey."
