Then, He Yuzhu suddenly thought of something and asked with a smile: "By the way, Damao, you have been married for more than a year, why haven't you seen any movement in your wife's belly?"

Xu Damao sighed helplessly, with a trace of worry on his face: "Alas, we were planning to have a baby this year, but who would have thought that we would encounter this period of national food shortage. Even the adults can hardly get enough to eat. How can I dare to have a baby? We can only wait until the food shortage is not so severe."

Hearing this, He Yuzhu couldn't help but frown and looked at Xu Damao in confusion: "Is this true? With your intelligence, Xu Damao, you can be troubled by food. I don't believe it!" He felt that with Xu Damao's intelligence and family conditions, he should not give up his plan to have children because of food problems.

Seeing that he couldn't fool He Yuzhu, Xu Damao could only smile awkwardly, scratching his head and said, "Hey, Deputy Director He, actually my wife doesn't want it for the time being. She wants to wait two years before having it."

"So that's the reason. Damao, your status in the family is not good!" He Yuzhu said jokingly.

Xu Damao felt embarrassed when he heard this. He scratched his head and said helplessly, "Alas, there is nothing I can do. You all know what's going on at home..."

He Yuzhu smiled and shook his head, and continued to tease: "Haha, it seems that you still have to listen to your wife. But then again, you and Gao Meihua have been married for so long, it is better to have a child as soon as possible."

Xu Damao hesitated and said, "Well...well, we are not ready yet..."

"What do you mean by not ready?" He Yuzhu asked.

Xu Damao didn't know how to explain, so he could only make an excuse to leave, "Deputy Director He, if you don't have anything else to do, I'll go over first."

"It's important to hurry up and have a baby." He Yuzhu said earnestly. After that, He Yuzhu waved his hand, indicating that Xu Damao could leave. Xu Damao felt relieved, turned around and left quickly, secretly relieved.

After Xu Damao left, He Yuzhu couldn't help but think about the truthfulness of what Xu Damao said. Finally, after repeated speculations, He Yuzhu felt that what Xu Damao said should be true. Judging from Xu Damao's performance after marriage in the courtyard, he should be the younger brother of the family and was controlled by Gao Meihua. It seems that it will take some time to solve the two unsolved mysteries of the Siheyuan: the reason why Xu Damao was infertile. As for the other, whether Jia Xudong's death was accidental or man-made.

When Xu Damao and a group of woboers walked into the gate of the courtyard on the weekend, the passive skill of "Door God" Yan Bugui - "Find Out" was immediately activated, "Xu Damao, what are you doing in the courtyard with a large group of people?"

"Uncle, Deputy Director He is moving today, and he asked me to find these people to help with the move!"

"Moving, where are you moving to, Deputy Director He?"

"Deputy Director He wants to move to his wife's family's home. There is no elderly person at home to help take care of the children. His wife's family's home is closer to our factory, so he wants to move to his wife's family's home so that he can take care of his family more conveniently. Come on, Third Uncle, I have to take people to help Deputy Director He move, so I won't chat with you anymore." After saying that, Xu Damao said to the Woboer masters behind him: "Masters, we will arrive after crossing the front yard. Be careful when you work later."

"Don't worry, son."

Xu Damao brought the Woboer masters to the central courtyard, pointed at He Yuzhu's house and said, "Masters, this is the employer who will be working here today. Please wait in the yard for a while. I will go and tell the employer." After that, Xu Damao walked towards He Yuzhu's house.

"Deputy Director He, I've brought the movers you asked me to find. Is it convenient for you now?" Because the door of He Yuzhu's house was not closed, Xu Damao stood at the door and said to He Yuzhu who was busy in the house.

"Let all the masters come in. I'll give them some instructions. By the way, Damao, I'll have to trouble you for something later. I may be the last one to go to my wife's family's house. Then I'll have to trouble you to take the masters and carry the things over first."

"Deputy Director He, you are being too polite. I, Xu Damao, don't have anything else to do today. Just give me your orders. I'll go call the masters in first." After saying that, Xu Damao turned around and said to the masters in the yard, "Masters, don't just stand there. Come and work."

After the drivers entered the house, He Yuzhu asked with a smile, "Sorry to bother you today. How much does it cost to get from here to Dongzhimen?"

"Deputy Director He, I've already inquired. Each person gets 5 cents per trip." Xu Damao replied quickly.

"Da Mao, take this ten yuan first. When the masters finish their work, you will be responsible for calculating the wages to the master. By the way, take this pack of cigarettes too. When the masters finish their work, each master will have one cigarette." After saying that, He Yuzhu took out a big black ten yuan and a pack of unopened cigarettes from his pocket and handed them to Xu Damao.

After Xu Damao took the money and cigarettes, He Yuzhu pointed to a pile of packed things and said, "Da Mao, this pile of things has been packed. You can ask the masters to move them. My sister has a few more packs in her room."

"Okay, Deputy Director He, just focus on your own work. I'll take care of this." Xu Damao then directed the masters to start working.

At this time, the third uncle Yan Bugui walked into the room and said, "Deputy Director He, a large car just stopped at the gate of our courtyard. The driver said he was here to see you."

"Thank you, Uncle San. But when you go back, please tell the driver to wait for me at the door. I'll be there soon." After saying that, He Yuzhu took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Yan Bugui.

"Okay!" Yan Bugui agreed with a bright smile on his face, then turned around and walked towards the front yard.

"Xiao'e, Yushui, the factory's off-road vehicle has arrived. You two should get on the vehicle and go first. When the workers have finished moving the things, I will clean up the house and rush over right away." After hearing the voice, Lou Xiao'e gently opened the door of the inner room, gently took the hands of the two children, and slowly walked out of the room. Yushui followed closely behind, also holding a child, with a look of expectation and joy in her eyes.

"Brother, sister-in-law, you go take care of the younger one, and leave the other three to me." He Yushui said to He Yuzhu with a smile. He Yuzhu nodded and walked into the inner room without hesitation. He skillfully stretched out his hands, picked up a child in each hand, and carefully carried them out of the room. Seeing this, Lou Xiaoe quickly picked up another child and followed He Yuzhu's steps closely, walking towards the gate of the courtyard together.

When the driver saw He Yuzhu approaching with two children in his arms, he immediately got out of the car, quickly opened the back door, and respectfully greeted He Yuzhu: "Hello, Deputy Director He." He Yuzhu smiled slightly, nodded politely, and responded: "Thank you for your hard work today, Xiao Song."

After Lou Xiao'e got into the car with a child in her arms, she carefully put the child on the seat, then reached out to take the other child from He Yuzhu's arms and put it next to him. At this time, He Yuzhu, who was still holding a child, said to He Yushui: "Yushui, you sit in the front with this child in your arms, you sit in the car first, and I'll give you the child later." He Yushui nodded obediently, and sat in the front passenger seat of the SUV according to He Yuzhu's instructions. He Yuzhu slowly handed the child to He Yushui.

"Dad, where should my brothers and I sit?" The eldest child asked quickly when he saw that there were no seats left in the car.

"Don't worry, I won't leave you three behind. Your father has found a very good place for you three." He Yuzhu replied with a smile. After that, he quickly walked to the back of the SUV, opened the door of the trunk, pointed to the spacious space and said, "You three will sit here later." After that, He Yuzhu bent down, gently picked up the three sons one by one, and carefully placed them in the trunk of the SUV.

"You three have to be good and sit still here, don't move!" He Yuzhu gently told the children. Otherwise, when Uncle Song drives, you three will easily get bumped, understand?"

"Know it!"

Then He Yuzhu gently closed the trunk door of the SUV and said, "Xiao Song, you can drive away now. My sister will tell you what to do on the road. After you drop them off, you can just drive the car back to the factory."

"Okay, Deputy Director He." After saying that, Xiao Song slowly maneuvered the car.
