Dressed as a little fool: marry and have children

Chapter 81 Planning to spend the New Year in Baoding

Liu Xiuxiu opened her eyes dazedly and saw that it was already bright outside, but He Yuzhu was no longer around. She sat up suddenly and put on her clothes in a hurry, eager to find He Yuzhu.

The air was filled with a strong aroma of rice. Liu Xiuxiu mistakenly thought that He Yuzhu was busy in the kitchen, so she went straight to the bathroom to wash up.

After washing up, Liu Xiuxiu hurried to the kitchen. However, when she arrived at the kitchen, she did not see He Yuzhu. She was slightly stunned, then thought of something and turned to walk into the house. Sure enough, the clothes and bed sheets that she had changed yesterday were gone.

Liu Xiuxiu was touched, she knew that He Yuzhu must have washed the clothes for her. She quickly opened the door and walked towards the front yard where the clothes were washed. From a distance, she saw He Yuzhu surrounded by a group of middle-aged women and young wives, washing clothes attentively.

A warm feeling surged in Liu Xiuxiu's heart. She quickened her pace and walked to He Yuzhu, and said embarrassedly: "Brother Yuzhu, why are you here to wash clothes? Get up quickly, I'll do it." After saying that, she was about to reach out to grab the clothes from He Yuzhu's hands.

He Yuzhu looked up and saw Liu Xiuxiu approaching, and a doting smile immediately flashed in his eyes. He gently dodged Liu Xiuxiu's outstretched hand and smiled gently: "Xiuxiu, I have almost washed these clothes, you don't have to worry."

Liu Xiuxiu looked at He Yuzhu's foamy hands and wet sleeves, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. She knew that He Yuzhu rushed to wash the clothes so that she could rest a little longer.

However, she couldn't let He Yuzhu continue washing clothes. The people washing clothes here were all middle-aged women and young wives. If He Yuzhu, a man, intervened, he would inevitably be talked about and laughed at by others.

So, Liu Xiuxiu said firmly: "Brother Yuzhu, give it to me." After that, she squatted down and snatched the clothes from He Yuzhu's hand. Her movements were swift and skillful, as if she didn't want to give He Yuzhu any chance to refute.

He Yuzhu saw that the clothes and sheets in the basin had been washed and only needed to be hung out to dry. He didn't want Liu Xiuxiu to be talked about because of this matter, so he stood up and made way for her, saying, "Then go back directly after you finish hanging them. I'll go back and see how the porridge is."

Liu Xiuxiu responded without even looking up, and then began to wash and hang the clothes. Her hands moved quickly in the foam, as if playing a silent movement. Her movements were quick and orderly, as if she wanted to complete the task as soon as possible so as not to make He Yuzhu wait any longer.

He Yuzhu said hello to the aunties around him, then turned back. He had a warm smile on his face, like a spring breeze blowing on your face, giving you a warm feeling. He walked back to the house with a brisk pace, and smelled the fragrance of rice porridge as soon as he entered the house.

He walked to the kitchen, opened the lid of the pot, and stirred the rice porridge in the pot with a spoon. Looking at the rice porridge with the right consistency, he nodded with satisfaction, then took the rice porridge down, scooped out two bowls, and carefully placed them on the table.

At this moment, Liu Xiuxiu also came in with a basin. When she saw the rice porridge on the table, a bright smile appeared on her face. She walked to the table and sat down.

He Yuzhu looked at Liu Xiuxiu and said gently, "You're back just in time. You must be hungry. Come and have some porridge."

Liu Xiuxiu snorted, picked up the bowl and started drinking. After finishing the bowl of porridge, she said to He Yuzhu, "Brother Yuzhu, don't wash the clothes at home in the future. I'll take care of them. You're already very tired at work every day, and you have to cook for me when you come home. I really feel bad."

He Yuzhu looked at Liu Xiuxiu's serious expression and knew her persistence. He was touched and said in a compromising manner: "Then, can I lend a hand when you are too busy? I don't want you to bear all the responsibilities alone."

When Liu Xiuxiu heard what He Yuzhu said, tears flashed in her eyes. She looked at He Yuzhu deeply, knowing that he was really caring and considerate of her. She nodded gently, a warm smile bloomed on her face, and she said softly, "Okay, Brother Yuzhu, thank you."

Then, she suddenly thought of a question that had been bothering her, so she asked curiously, "Brother Yuzhu, I've always been curious, why do people in the compound call you Shazhu?"

He Yuzhu didn't expect Liu Xiuxiu to ask this. Although it was Xiaoshazhu who did it, a blush of embarrassment still flashed across his face.

He scratched his head and explained a little embarrassedly: "Actually, when I was a kid, I helped my dad sell steamed buns. As a result, I accidentally received a lot of counterfeit money and was scolded by my dad. Since then, everyone in the yard has started to call me that."

Liu Xiuxiu couldn't help but chuckle when she heard this explanation. She thought He Yuzhu must have been very cute when he was a child, and she could tell that he was a very kind and responsible person.

She looked at He Yuzhu's somewhat embarrassed expression and couldn't help but joked, "Brother Yuzhu, I didn't expect you to have such a side."

He Yuzhu looked at the smile on Liu Xiuxiu's face and knew she was teasing him. He shook his head helplessly, put on an expression of "whatever you want" and said: "Okay, laugh if you want to, I'm used to it anyway." After saying that, he deliberately made a bitter face, which made Liu Xiuxiu laugh even more happily.

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Liu Xiuxiu finally couldn't help laughing. Her laughter was clear and sweet, like a silver bell. Her face was filled with a happy smile, and she covered her mouth with her hands from time to time, fearing that her laughter would be too loud and disturb He Yuzhu.

Seeing Liu Xiuxiu laughing so happily, He Yuzhu's mood also became cheerful. He smiled slightly, with a warm light in his eyes. He reached out and patted Liu Xiuxiu's head gently, saying lovingly: "Okay, don't laugh so hard that you get a choke."

After the laughter gradually subsided, He Yuzhu restrained his expression and said to Liu Xiuxiu seriously: "Xiuxiu, let's go to Baoding for the New Year this year, is that okay?" There was a hint of inquiry in his tone.

Liu Xiuxiu looked up at He Yuzhu and asked, "Are you going to spend time with Dad and Aunt Bai?"

He Yuzhu nodded and said "hmm" softly, with a gentle smile on his face.

Liu Xiuxiu has a good impression of He Daqing and Aunt Bai mentioned by He Yuzhu. She knows that they have always been He Yuzhu's concern.

So, she said without hesitation: "Okay, then let's exchange more tickets recently, and then buy more things for Dad and Aunt Bai, and buy some snacks for my younger brothers and sisters." Her tone was full of care and consideration.

He Yuzhu looked at Liu Xiuxiu's serious arrangement, and a warm feeling surged in his heart. He smiled gently and said, "Okay, I'll listen to my Xiuxiu."
