Dressed as a little fool: marry and have children

Chapter 168 Returning to the 4-Courtyard House, Lou Xiao'e's Disappointment

The next day, He Yuzhu packed up his things and said goodbye to Aunt Liu across the street: "Aunt Liu, we're going back first. We'll contact you later."

Then, he carefully bent down, picked up Liu Xiuxiu, who was wrapped tightly, and walked out of the ward. He Yuzhu gently placed Liu Xiuxiu on the cart and carefully adjusted her position to ensure that she was comfortable and stable.

He Yushui followed closely behind, holding the child carefully in both hands, and followed beside the stroller, while He Yuzhu was responsible for pushing the stroller.

Although the distance from the hospital to the Red Star Courtyard was not far, He Yuzhu walked very carefully. He pushed the cart with steady and slow steps, maintaining a steady speed all the way. He kept looking at Liu Xiuxiu on the cart from time to time, fearing that the cart would be bumped and hurt.

More than half an hour later, they finally returned to the courtyard. The neighbors in the courtyard had already heard the good news of Liu Xiuxiu's birth from He Yushui, and they all came forward to congratulate her.

"Congratulations, Shazhu, your He family has a successor!" A neighbor patted He Yuzhu on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"This child is so handsome, he looks like Shazhu!" another neighbor said jokingly, causing a burst of laughter.

He Yuzhu responded to the congratulations from his neighbors with a smile, his heart filled with joy, and he responded to everyone with a smile.

An old lady was also in the crowd, she looked at the child in He Yushui's arms, her eyes full of envy. She touched her belly, a trace of sadness on her face.

During this period of time, she has been working hard to take care of her body, hoping to have a child, but there is still no movement in her belly.

Suddenly, she thought of what the old people often said, that hugging a newborn baby can bring good luck and bring children. A trace of desire flashed in her eyes, as if she saw the light of hope.

She looked at the child in He Yushui's arms and asked softly, "Yushui, can I hold this child for a while?"

He Yushui looked up at He Yuzhu with a questioning look in his eyes. He Yuzhu glanced at the eager aunt and understood her intention. He nodded and indicated that he could let the aunt hold the child.

He Yushui carefully handed the child to the aunt. The aunt took the child and her smile became brighter. She carried the child and followed them to the door of the He family. Only then did she reluctantly return the child to He Yushui.

He Yuzhu didn't care about the interaction between the aunt and He Yushui. He helped Liu Xiuxiu into the house and let her sit on the stool in the living room.

Then he hurried to the bedroom, made the bed neatly, and carefully laid a soft cushion on it to ensure that Liu Xiuxiu would be comfortable.

He carefully helped Liu Xiuxiu lie on the bed, and gently placed their child beside Liu Xiuxiu. Liu Xiuxiu looked at He Yuzhu who had been busy since he came back, and her heart was filled with tenderness.

So, she started to negotiate: "Brother Yuzhu, I thought I would take care of the child at night, and Yushu will take care of him during the day, and you can rest in another room. This way you can also rest well, and it will not affect your work."

He Yuzhu didn't want to separate from Liu Xiuxiu, he hoped to take care of the children together at night. But seeing Liu Xiuxiu's determined eyes, he nodded helplessly and agreed to Liu Xiuxiu's request.

......

Lou Xiao'e was sitting in the house, and heard the bustling sounds in the yard. She couldn't help but stick her head out curiously, and just in time she saw Xu Damao walking in from outside. A questioning expression immediately appeared on her face, and she asked with a hint of expectation:

"Are Shazhu and the others back? Did Liu Xiuxiu give birth to a boy or a girl?"

Xu Damao walked into the room and answered while paying attention to the changes in Lou Xiaoe's expression: "Shazhu and his family are back, and they gave birth to a boy. If you hadn't seen how happy Shazhu was, I would have been embarrassed to stand next to him."

He noticed a flash of disappointment on Lou Xiao'e's face, but it was fleeting and then turned into a faint smile. The smile seemed a little forced, and Xu Damao felt a little uncomfortable.

Lou Xiao'e sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness in her voice: "That's what I should do. After all, he's a son. It's really worth being happy." As she spoke, she turned her gaze to Xu Damao, and a hint of imperceptible disgust flashed in her eyes.

Xu Damao noticed her gaze and his heart skipped a beat. He knew that the relationship between him and Lou Xiao'e had become increasingly subtle. He wondered if the original incident had been discovered, but considering Lou Xiao'e's personality, he felt that it was unlikely.

At this moment, Lou Xiao'e's voice came again: "I want to go back to my parents' home tomorrow, remember to send me back then."

"Yeah." Xu Damao responded briefly, and the atmosphere between the two suddenly became a little awkward. They sat there silently, not knowing what to say. Recently, apart from the matter about He Yuzhu, they seemed to have rarely talked about anything else.

Lou Xiao'e stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the sky outside. Her heart was filled with mixed emotions. She didn't know why she cared so much about whether Liu Xiuxiu gave birth to a boy or a girl. Maybe it was the hope in her heart that was dispensable! She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

Xu Damao looked at Lou Xiao'e's back, and a sense of inexplicable irritation surged in his heart. He knew that there was a crack in the relationship between him and Lou Xiao'e, but he didn't know how to repair it.

He sighed, stood up, walked to Lou Xiao'e, and said softly: "Xiao'e, we..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Lou Xiao'e: "I'm a little tired, let's talk about other things later." Her voice was calm and firm, making Xu Damao unable to say anything else.
