Chapter 159: Baoding People's Reactions
Bai Xiaolian, who was far away in Baoding, heard the postman knocking on the door early in the morning. She knew that the letter must have been sent from Sijiucheng, and the sender was probably He Yuzhu. She did not open the envelope immediately, but planned to wait for He Daqing to come back and then open the letter together to see what was written inside.
In the evening, He Daqing returned home with his three children. The family sat around the dining table, enjoying the warm time of dinner. Bai Xiaolian looked at everyone at the table with a gentle smile on her face.
She slowly opened her mouth and said, "A letter was sent from Sijiu City today. It should be from Sha Zhu." After that, she stood up, walked to the table, picked up the letter, and handed it to He Daqing.
He Daqing took the letter, and a hint of anticipation flashed in his eyes. He opened the envelope, took out the letter, and prepared to read it. However, He Yushui couldn't wait any longer. She grabbed the letter and began to read aloud: "Father, Zhan Xinan, I have been promoted to deputy director of the canteen, and Xiuxiu is almost four months pregnant."
When she read that Liu Xiuxiu was four months pregnant, He Yushui suddenly exclaimed, her eyes widened, and an expression of surprise that could not be concealed appeared on her face.
She clapped her hands excitedly and shouted excitedly: "Oh my God, I'm going to have a little nephew or niece! Ahhhh, no, I have to prepare a gift for him!" After that, she jumped up impatiently, turned around and rushed to her room, intending to pick out a special gift immediately.
He Daqing looked at He Yushui's back and smiled happily. He knew that He Yuzhu had been married for many years but had not been able to get pregnant, and he had always been worried. Now that he heard the news of Liu Xiuxiu's pregnancy, he could finally put his mind at ease and enjoy his later years.
Bai Xiaolian and the children were also very happy. They had long regarded He Yuzhu as their own relative, and when they heard that He Yuzhu had offspring, they were all sincerely happy for him.
Bai Xiaolian saw that He Daqing's emotions had stabilized, so she asked gently, "Brother Qing, do you want me to go over and take care of Xiuxiu during her confinement? Her family members don't seem very reliable."
After listening to Bai Xiaolian's proposal, He Daqing's eyes flashed with gratitude. He frowned slightly and began to think seriously. Although he understood Bai Xiaolian's concern and good intentions, he also knew the interests involved.
After all, Bai Xiaolian and Sha Zhu are stepmother and stepson. If he agrees to let her go and take care of Liu Xiuxiu, it will inevitably cause some unnecessary gossip and discussion.
Just when He Daqing was hesitating, He Yushui came out of the room with the gift she prepared. She happened to hear Bai Xiaolian's proposal just now, and also noticed the embarrassment on He Daqing's face.
He Yushui walked to He Daqing obediently, took his arm, and said softly: "Dad, why don't I go. I'm about to graduate from high school. I definitely can't get into technical secondary school or university with my grades. Maybe my silly brother can help me find a job when I go back."
He Daqing was surprised when he heard what He Yushui said. He thought about it seriously and felt that it was better for He Yushui to go to He Yuzhu than to stay in Baoding.
So, he nodded and agreed to He Yushui's proposal. However, he still reminded: "When you get there, you must listen to your brother and listen to him well. But if someone bullies you, you don't have to endure it. Dad will take care of it for you."
He Yushui felt warm in her heart when she heard what He Daqing said. Her eyes were slightly moist, and she said softly, "Okay, then I'll wait for my father to make the decision for me." After that, she gently took He Daqing's arm and acted coquettishly towards him.
