Siheyuan: The happy life of a little chef

After a period of sorting, Lou Bancheng has donated everything he could, including the small Western-style building where he lives.

Soon this incident caused a great sensation.

The newspapers vigorously publicized Lou Bancheng's deeds, which played a leading role.

However, there were still some who cursed him behind his back, thinking that Lou Bancheng had betrayed them and harmed their interests. Among them, Sijiu Zhang was the most angry.

As a reward for Lou Bancheng, the original house was left for his family to live in, and jobs were arranged for Lou Bancheng and his son.

Lou Bancheng was the deputy director of the meat processing factory, and his eldest son, Lou Xiao, was a clerk in their street office. Two guards were arranged to protect them.

Xu Damao is very excited now. His family background problem has been solved. The next step is to take apprentices and then get promoted.

"Jianjun, my father-in-law has donated a lot. I feel a little sad."

Li Jianjun patted him on the shoulder.

"It's a good idea to give up. Only by giving can we gain. Maybe there will be a chance to make a comeback in the future. Now the main thing is to control the steel mill. This way, no matter what happens, our safety can be guaranteed."

Xu Damao was a little confused.

"We go to work peacefully, what's unsafe about that?"

Li Jianjun did not explain much.

"How's the apprentice doing?"

Xu Damao said proudly.

"Don't you see who these disciples are? These two guys are really smart. They can learn some things once they are taught. Now they have learned the basics. Once they are more familiar with it, I will take them out to show movies."

Li Jianjun nodded.

"Brother Damao, the Propaganda Department must be in our hands, do you understand?"

Xu Damao asked doubtfully.

"What's wrong? Our section chief is not Director Li's man?"

Li Jianjun shook his head.

"Not really, just a fence-sitter."

"Okay, go to work. I'm going to cook."

Xu Damao took the last puff of his cigarette, threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it.

"Okay, then you go ahead and I'll go check on those two guys."

The third canteen is very busy now. Li Jianjun, Nan Yi, and the fat guy are cooking a big pot of food.

Three months passed in the blink of an eye.

The courtyard was very peaceful, and even Jia Zhang was very obedient.

Li Jianjun's home.

Now Doudou is even more dependent on Li Jianjun. As long as Li Jianjun holds her, she will not let go, no matter what, no one can stop her.

Huaihua is already over one year old and has started learning to walk. Xiaodang holds her hand for a walk whenever he has nothing to do.

At the dinner table, Lou Xiao'e ran out after taking a few bites, leaning against the wall and retching.

Xu Damao followed her out and patted her on the back.

After a while, the two came back.

Han Chunyan asked with concern.

"Xiao'e, what's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Let Damao take you to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow."

Lou Xiao'e took a sip of the water that Xu Damao handed over to her.

"I don't know. I've been feeling nauseous lately."

Li Jianjun thought of something.

"Sister-in-law, stretch out your hand, I'll feel your pulse."

Everyone knows that Li Jianjun is a medical practitioner.

After finishing, he looked at Xu Damao again.

"Brother Damao, you stretched it out too."

After examination, Li Jianjun found that Xu Damao's wound had healed.

He himself was a little surprised. Did he recover because he ate too much? It was possible.

Xu Damao next to him was extremely anxious.

"No, brother, you are frowning one moment and happy the next, don't scare me."

Li Jianjun smiled.

"Brother Damao, congratulations, Sister Xiao'e is pregnant."

Xu Damao's voice rose an octave.

"Really? Bro, you can't lie to me."

Lou Xiao'e was also very excited.

"Jianjun, am I really pregnant? Am I going to be a mother?"

Li Jianjun smiled.

"I'm sure, but you'd better go to the hospital for a check-up, just to be safe."

Xu Damao calmed down.

"Yes, yes, yes, it's better to be safe. Ezi, eat quickly, and then we'll go to the hospital."

Li Jianjun didn't expect Xu Damao to be so anxious.

"Just go tomorrow. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Xu Damao said.

"Brother, you don't understand. If we can't be sure today, neither of us will be able to sleep tonight."

Lou Xiao'e continued.

"I don't have much of an appetite right now, why don't you go now and eat when you come back."

Xu Damao didn't want to wait any longer.

"Okay, okay, Jianjun, I'll ride my bike away. You keep the food warm and wait for Ezi to come back before eating."

Li Jianjun instructed.

"Brother Damao, ride slowly. Also, Sister Xiao'e can't be shaken. Do you understand?"

Xu Damao nodded.

"I know, don't worry, I'll be back soon."

Two hours later.

Xu Damao came in supporting Lou Xiao'e.

"Brother, I'm going to be a father. Xiao'e is really pregnant."

Han Chunyan also hurried over and sat next to Lou Xiaoe.

"How was it? How long?"

Lou Xiao'e touched her belly which was not bulging at all.

"It's been more than a month, and I didn't pay much attention to it myself."

Li Jianjun said to Xu Damao.

"The food is warm, go serve it to your wife. Do you want me to serve your wife?"

Xu Damao said excitedly.

"Yes, yes, yes. I was so excited that I forgot. I want to eat something too. I wasn't full just now."

Lou Xiao'e no longer felt sick and started eating.

Han Chunyan told Lou Xiao'e what she should pay attention to, and Xu Damao listened while eating.

"Xiao'e, you must remember what Chunyan'er said. Don't be careless. I've remembered it too. I'll supervise you."

Lou Xiao'e hit Xu Damao with his chopsticks.

"You're just supervising me? Aren't you supposed to be helping me?"

Xu Damao forced a smile.

"I will help you and supervise you at the same time. You are the treasure of our Xu family now. You can't be angry."

Lou Xiao'e felt so comfortable now.

"Da Mao, tell your parents tomorrow, and my parents as well, and make them happy too."

"Don't worry, I'm going to let everyone know about this great thing."

The next day, Xu Damao did not ride Li Jianjun's bicycle to work, but walked with the people in the compound.

Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui asked curiously.

"Da Mao, why didn't you go to work with Jianjun today?"

When Xu Damao heard this, he thought, isn’t this the opportunity?

"How did you know my wife was pregnant?"

Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui were both confused. We didn’t know and we didn’t ask!

It was Yan Bugui who reacted first.

"Oh, congratulations, Damao."

Xu Damao said happily.

"Uncle San is really smart. I'll send you eggs when the baby is born."

After saying that, he went forward.

Liu Haizhong asked.

"Old Yan, what's going on with Xu Damao?"

Yan Bugui smiled.

"What else could it be? Just showing off. That's what I do when I catch a big fish."

Xu Damao ran to Sha Zhu and put his arm around his shoulder.

"Silly, have you had breakfast?"

Sha Zhu was confused by the question and pushed Xu Damao's hand away.

"Xu Damao, what does it have to do with you whether I have eaten breakfast or not?"

Xu Damao smiled slyly.

"Silly Zhu, how did you know my wife is pregnant? I'm going to be a father."

Sha Zhu's face turned black and he reached out to hit Xu Damao, but Xu Damao was already prepared and ran to the side.

"Silly Zhu, I'm just sharing my happy things with you and want you to be happy for me, don't be ungrateful."

After saying that, he ran away.

Sha Zhu's eyes seemed to be spitting fire. Wasn't this just like sprinkling chili powder on his wound?

Yi Zhonghai, who was not far away, also heard it. He was so depressed. Didn't they say Xu Damao couldn't have children? How come Lou Xiao'e was pregnant? It hurt so much.
