Chapter 321 Go to see Liu Xiuxiu
The next day, as soon as the sky turned pale, He Yuzhu opened his eyes. He rubbed his sleepy eyes, quickly got up from the bed, and began his daily busy life.
He washed up quietly, then turned to the kitchen and began to prepare breakfast. The clatter of pots and pans sounded particularly clear in the silence of the early morning. He Yuzhu's technique was skillful and orderly, and soon, the tempting aroma of food wafted out of the kitchen.
Seeing that it was still early, He Yuzhu decided to go to Xu's house. He put on his coat, closed the door gently, and set foot on the road to Xu's house. The morning breeze brushed his cheeks, bringing a hint of coolness and making him more awake.
Arriving at the door of Xu's house, He Yuzhu knocked on the door gently and shouted, "Da Mao, are you home?" His voice echoed in the morning air, but there was no response. He frowned, wondering if Xu Damao hadn't gotten up yet.
In her hazy dream, Qin Jingru seemed to hear intermittent calls. She vaguely heard someone say:
"Da Mao, it seems like someone is calling you outside." She rubbed her eyes, tried to focus on Xu Damao, and gently pushed his strong shoulders with her fingertips.
Xu Damao was immersed in a deep dream. He turned over and mumbled incoherently like a lazy cat:
"No, I'm sleeping." His arm unconsciously crossed Qin Jingru's belly, as if protecting her, and also showing that he had not yet fully woken up from his sleep.
At this time, He Yuzhu's voice sounded again. He knocked on the door hard, and his voice became clearer: "Da Mao?" This time, there was a hint of uncertainty in his voice, as if he was wondering whether Xu Damao was still at home.
He Yuzhu thought to himself, could it be that Damao and the others had something to do today that made them go out so early?
Qin Jingru was completely awakened by the sound this time. She was still a little sleepy and wanted to lose her temper, but when she heard the familiar voice, she immediately recognized it as He Yuzhu.
She quickly sat up and pushed Xu Damao hard, with a hint of anxiety in her tone: "Damo, wake up quickly, it's He Yuzhu calling us."
Qin Jingru's expression changed from hazy to clear, her eyes flashed brightly, revealing her familiarity with He Yuzhu.
While pushing Xu Damao, Qin Jingru gradually increased her voice and said, "Damou, did you hear that? It's He Yuzhu! He seems to have something urgent to talk to you about." There was a hint of nervousness and concern in her tone, and her fingers involuntarily increased the frequency of pushing.
Xu Damao gradually opened his sleepy eyes under Qin Jingru's push. His confused expression instantly became clear and alert after hearing the three words "He Yuzhu". He sat up suddenly, his eyes shining, obviously realizing the importance of He Yuzhu to him.
"Yuzhu? He's looking for me?" Xu Damao said as he began to put on his clothes in a hurry. His movements were quick and powerful, and he was obviously trying to save time.
"Yes, go quickly, don't let He Yuzhu wait too long." Qin Jingru urged. After Xu Damao put on his clothes, he hurriedly opened the door and said to He Yuzhu with a smile:
"Yuzhu, why are you here so early? Is there something wrong? Just tell me, and I will help you." His tone was full of enthusiasm, and he was obviously willing to serve He Yuzhu.
He Yuzhu was standing in the yard, and was a little surprised to see Xu Damao come out so quickly. He smiled and replied, "I just asked you to help me take a day off. I have some personal matters to deal with today, so I won't go to the steel mill."
"Hey, I thought it was some big deal, but it's just this, no problem!" Xu Damao breathed a sigh of relief and a relaxed smile appeared on his face.
He was worried that He Yuzhu had something important that needed his help, but he didn't expect that it was just a leave. He patted his chest and said confidently: "Don't worry, Yuzhu, I will go to the steel mill to ask for leave for you."
He Yuzhu felt relieved when he heard Xu Damao's reply. He looked at the time and estimated that He Daqing and Chang'an should be awake soon, so he said goodbye to Xu Damao: "Thank you for your help, Damao. I'll go back first."
He Yuzhu turned and left with brisk steps. As soon as he entered the house, he heard bursts of laughter coming from the living room.
He walked into the living room and saw He Daqing holding Chang'an on the sofa. The two were having a great time. Chang'an's little face was filled with an innocent smile, his eyes were sparkling, and he looked very cute.
He Yuzhu walked over, took Changan from He Daqing's arms, and hugged him gently. He said to He Daqing, "Dad, I'll feed Changan, you eat first." As he said that, he carried Changan to the dining table and prepared to feed him.
He Daqing looked at He Yuzhu's busy figure, and a warm feeling surged in his heart. He nodded and asked He Yuzhu: "I saw you coming back from outside just now, what did you do?"
He Yuzhu turned his head and looked at He Daqing with a relaxed smile on his face: "Oh, I had something to do with Damao, so I went to Xu's house." He did not directly say that he had asked for leave, but he did not hide the fact that he went to see Xu Damao.
When He Daqing heard He Yuzhu mention going to see Xu Damao, he was slightly moved, but then he thought it might be a work matter, so he didn't ask any more questions.
He glanced at He Yuzhu and guessed in his heart: This kid just confirmed his relationship with Yu Haitang yesterday. He was probably so excited that he couldn’t sleep, so he got up so early today.
He Daqing did not expose He Yuzhu's thoughts. He just smiled and nodded and continued to enjoy his breakfast.
After dinner, He Yuzhu put down his bowl and chopsticks and said to He Daqing, "Dad, I'm leaving first." There was a hint of subtle nervousness in his voice.
He Daqing looked up at him and said "hmm" indifferently, which was considered as his agreement. Seeing this, He Yuzhu turned around and walked out of the house.
After he walked out of the house, he took a deep breath of fresh air and then walked towards the street office. His steps were a little hurried, as if he was pursuing something, and there was a complicated expression on his face.
He Yuzhu didn't know why he wanted to meet Liu Xiuxiu so much. Ever since he agreed to date Yu Haitang yesterday, he had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
He thought he should go meet Liu Xiuxiu and tell her his decision. He walked and thought, and soon arrived at the street office.
He stood at the door, took a deep breath, and then mustered up the courage to go in. His heartbeat quickened and his palms were slightly sweaty.
Walking into the subdistrict office, He Yuzhu looked around, searching for Liu Xiuxiu. His eyes shuttled through the crowd and finally fixed on a familiar figure.
