Siheyuan: I can change size at will

These days, the hygiene conditions in restaurants are generally good, and he believes that Lou Xiao'e can eat safely there.

After hearing what Cao Zhengshuang said, Lou Xiaoe smiled and shook her head and said, "No, I'm not comfortable eating out.

I'm going home tomorrow night, you come with me.

I want my mother to send the chef at home to cook for me and take care of me.”

After hearing this, Cao Zhengshuang nodded repeatedly to show his agreement.

He felt relieved when he thought that Lou Xiao'e's mother had an experienced chef at home who could provide her with nutritious meals.

"No problem. We have two houses. When the cook comes, let her live in the other house. From now on, she will concentrate on taking care of you."

Cao Zhengshuang said solemnly, his tone full of love and care for Lou Xiaoe.

"Well, then remember to come back early after get off work tomorrow night, and we'll go home together."

Lou Xiao'e said gently, with anticipation glittering in her eyes.

-----------------

On the second day after the wedding, Xu Damao got up early with a look of determination on his face.

He gave up the tempting three-day wedding leave and resolutely set out for the steel mill.

In fact, it’s not that he didn’t cherish this rare vacation, but he really couldn’t stand the atmosphere at home.

Before, the deaf old lady lived in his own house. Although it was a bit inconvenient, at least out of sight, out of mind.

However, now that he is married to the deaf old lady and they live in the same house, he can hardly stand her presence.

Whenever he saw her, Xu Damao felt an indescribable irritation in his heart.

What made it even more unbearable for him was that the deaf old lady often touched her belly and muttered the name "Xu Tianci" to herself.

This name does have a special meaning to Xu Damao.

If he could have a boy with a normal young woman, he would definitely give the child this name without hesitation.

But the reality was so cruel that he had to spend the rest of his life with this elderly lady.

Xu Damao was worried all the way until he arrived at the gate of the steel rolling mill and saw Jia Dongxu who was guarding the gate.

Jia Dongxu looked at him in surprise and asked in confusion, "Why are you coming to work on the second day after your wedding? Aren't you staying at home to rest with your wife?"

Hearing this, Xu Damao's anger almost burst out, and he wanted to rush forward and beat Jia Dongxu up.

But reason told him that he couldn't do this in public.

So he could only suppress his anger, lower his head, and silently walked into the gate of the steel mill.

Xu Damao was walking on the road leading to the steel rolling mill with mixed feelings.

Along the way, the co-workers he met stopped and greeted him with either curious or teasing smiles.

"Xu Damao, I heard that you married a wife who is a little more mature this time. It's really enviable, haha." Someone laughed loudly and patted him on the shoulder.

"Xu Damao, you come to work on the second day after your marriage. Aren't you working too hard? Won't your wife at home be angry?" someone else asked curiously.

"You are really a role model in our factory. You never forget your work even after getting married. We should learn from you." Someone else praised half-jokingly.

Xu Damao smiled bitterly in his heart. He didn't expect that his marriage would become so well-known.

Faced with the teasing and curiosity of his fellow workers, he could only avoid answering like a turtle, quickly walked through the crowd and returned to the Propaganda Department.

As soon as he entered the Propaganda Department, his colleagues in the department gathered around him and started asking about his family affairs.

"Xu Damao, how old is the wife you married? We are all very concerned." Someone directly asked the question in everyone's mind.

"I heard it was an old lady. Is it true?" Someone else guessed half-doubtfully.

"Xu Damao, you are really amazing this time. You don't even care about age. I admire you." Others praised in an exaggerated manner.

Xu Damao was like a mute at this time. No matter how everyone asked, he didn't say a word. He just sat quietly in his seat, pretending not to hear the discussions.

During lunch, the cafeteria was extremely lively. Everyone was talking and joking about the matter of him getting married.

Xu Damao endured the constant teasing and curious looks from the people around him in the cafeteria, and finally he couldn't bear it anymore.

He picked up his lunch box and decided to leave this noisy place and find a secluded corner to eat.

He walked through the crowd, out of the cafeteria, and came to a relatively quiet area under the shade of a tree. He sat down alone and ate his lunch in silence.

In the afternoon, Xu Damao suddenly received a notice from Li Huaide asking him to go to the office. He was very surprised and didn't know what Li Huaide wanted to talk to him about.

He came to Li Huaide's office with a nervous mood.

When Li Huaide saw Xu Damao coming, he showed a warm smile on his face and motioned him to sit down.

Xu Damao breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that no one would ask him about his wife today.

"Xu Damao, sit down quickly, don't be nervous."

Li Huaide smiled and said, "I just have something I want to ask you."

Xu Damao nodded, indicating that he was willing to answer.

Li Huaide asked curiously: "Xu Damao, I just want to ask you, do you have any way to make such an old... Well, forget it, let's not talk about this.

I just want to know, how did you get your wife pregnant?"

Xu Damao was speechless for a while. He didn't expect Li Huaide to ask such a direct question.

How should he answer this? He didn't know either! He still wanted to find out who made the deaf old lady pregnant.

Xu Damao could only smile awkwardly and said, "Director Li, this is purely a gift from God. I can't teach you anything."

After hearing this, Li Huaide showed a trace of regret on his face and said, "Really? That's a pity."

To be honest, Li Huaide has also been in deep worry recently.

He longed to have his own children again, and the feeling of happiness of being connected by blood was what he longed for.

However, despite his hard work, he was never able to achieve what he wanted.

Originally, he thought that Xu Damao might have some secret that could give him some inspiration in this regard, but after asking, he found that Xu Damao was also helpless.

For Xu Damao, the time after get off work always seems unusually long.

He wandered the streets, with nowhere to go and could only return home silently.

When he walked into the courtyard, he happened to meet Cao Zhengshuang and Lou Xiaoe.

Cao Zhengshuang was carrying his luggage in his hands, his face filled with joy, while Lou Xiao'e snuggled up to him shyly.

"Hey, Xu Damao, you're back so late!" Cao Zhengshuang greeted him warmly.
