Chapter 153 Xu Damao distributes wedding candy and observes He Yuzhu's reaction
Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e went to the hospital with a nervous and excited mood. After a series of examinations, the doctor confirmed that Lou Xiao'e was pregnant, and the two happily took the results home. Along the way, their faces were filled with smiles.
Back at the courtyard, Xu's mother saw the two people's happy faces and had some guesses in her mind. But she couldn't help but step forward to confirm: "Is it true that she is pregnant?"
Xu Damao nodded with a smile and replied, "Mom, I'm pregnant. It's been almost three months."
When Xu's mother heard this, she was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth. She kept saying, "Great, great, it's good that she's pregnant. Damao, quickly help your wife go into the house and lie down. Don't get tired."
Xu Damao followed his mother's instructions, carefully helped Lou Xiao'e into the room, and let her lie on the bed to rest. Then, he took the wedding candy and said to Lou Xiao'e and Xu's mother: "Ezi, mom, I'm going to give some wedding candy to the people in the yard, so that they won't talk about us behind our backs anymore."
After hearing this, Xu's mother waved to Xu Damao and said, "Go quickly. Xiao'e is being taken care of by mom."
After Xu Damao got permission from his mother, he went out happily to distribute wedding candies. He first came to the home of his second uncle Liu Haizhong and knocked gently on the door.
The second aunt opened the door and saw Xu Damao standing at the door with a smile on his face. She knew at a glance that Xu Damao came with good news, so she asked directly: "Damo, are you looking for your second uncle? Come in and sit for a while."
Xu Damao did not go into the house immediately. He smiled and said to Second Aunt, "Second Aunt, you don't have to work so hard. I'm here to bring you wedding candy. My daughter Xiao'e is three months pregnant. I came here specially to share in your good fortune." As he said that, he took out a handful of hard candies from his pocket and handed them to Second Aunt.
When the second aunt heard this, she exclaimed in surprise: "Oh, is this true? That's great! Congratulations to you!" She took the wedding candy with a sincere smile on her face.
Xu Damao also responded with a smile: "Thank you, Second Auntie. I won't bother you anymore. I have to go to the next house to deliver wedding candy." After saying that, he nodded to Second Auntie and turned to walk towards the next house.
In this way, Xu Damao delivered wedding candies door to door. Every time he arrived at a door, he would hand over the wedding candies with a smile and share the joyful news.
Although Jia's mother was not happy with Xu Damao giving her a handful of wedding candy, she knew that Xu's mother was in the courtyard, so she just said congratulations to him with a stiff face and slammed the door.
Xu Damao didn't take Jia Zhang's performance seriously at all. He just thought that Jia Zhang was envious of him. After Xu Damao sent wedding candies to all the families in the courtyard except He Yuzhu's, he took the remaining candies and walked towards He Yuzhu's house.
When he arrived at He Yuzhu's house, Xu Damao took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, and then gently knocked on the door.
He Yuzhu heard the knock on the door and got up to open it. Seeing Xu Damao at the door, he warmly invited Xu Damao to come in and sit down. Xu Damao was not polite and followed He Yuzhu into the house, put the wedding candy on the table, and then greeted Liu Xiuxiu.
Then, he looked at He Yuzhu, deliberately showed a smug smile on his face, and said: "Shazhu, I have good news to tell you, I have a child." After that, he stared at He Yuzhu without blinking, as if waiting for his reaction.
When He Yuzhu heard the good news from Xu Damao, he was stunned for a moment, and then his expression quickly turned into joy. He patted Xu Damao's shoulder happily, his voice full of blessings:
"Congratulations, Damao. This is really a double blessing! Your child will grow up with my child. Maybe we can even become in-laws in the future."
Xu Damao looked at He Yuzhu's sincere smile, and his doubts were slightly relieved. He was sure that He Yuzhu did not doubt that the child was his, and he was also sincerely congratulating him.
This made him put down a big stone in his heart, but then He Yuzhu mentioned his children and in-laws, which made him shout out loudly: "No."
He Yuzhu and Liu Xiuxiu were both startled by Xu Damao's sudden reaction. He Yuzhu looked at Liu Xiuxiu first to make sure she was not frightened, then turned around and looked at Xu Damao with some dissatisfaction, with a hint of anger in his tone:
"Da Mao, what are you crazy about? If you don't like it, then don't like it. Why are you yelling? I'm joking, don't you know? If you scare my daughter (son), I'll be angry with you!"
Xu Damao realized that his reaction was a bit extreme. He quickly explained: "Silly...Silly Zhu, you misunderstood. You also know Ezi's temper. I didn't dare to agree without her knowledge. And I don't know if it's because of the pregnancy, but her temper is like the weather, changing at any time. So for this kind of thing, I still have to go back and discuss it with her."
As he spoke, Xu Damao showed a helpless smile on his face. After listening to his explanation, He Yuzhu also understood his concerns, so he was not so angry anymore.
So He Yuzhu also slowed down his tone, waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, Damao, just think that I was joking just now, and forget about it once you leave this door."
After saying that, he gently patted Xu Damao's shoulder, a sympathetic expression appeared on his face, and then he comforted her: "Pregnant people will inevitably have some emotional fluctuations. Your sister-in-law also had this situation. So, you should be more tolerant of your sister-in-law, coax her more, and don't bother with her."
At this time, Liu Xiuxiu heard He Yuzhu's words and rolled her eyes at him in dissatisfaction, thinking to herself: "You are so good, He Yuzhu, you actually dare to spread rumors about me in front of Xu Damao, just wait and see how I will deal with you in the future." Although she thought so in her heart, she did not speak to expose He Yuzhu's lies. After all, she knew that He Yuzhu was trying to ease the atmosphere.
Xu Damao did not notice the subtle interaction between He Yuzhu and Liu Xiuxiu. When he heard He Yuzhu's comfort and thought about what he had done to He Yuzhu before, he felt even more guilty. He was worried that if he stayed any longer, he would be exposed, so he found an excuse and said:
"Silly Zhu, Ezi just said she wanted to drink fish soup. I think it's getting late, so I'll go back and make it for her. I'll talk to you another day and treat you to a drink then."
After that, Xu Damao stood up and prepared to leave. Seeing this, He Yuzhu also stood up to see him out. The two chatted all the way until Xu Damao disappeared outside the door, and He Yuzhu closed the door and went back into the house.
