He Yuzhu returns in Siheyuan

He Yuzhu thought to himself that he had to talk to Ma Xiuxiu about this matter anyway. Because if Lou Xiaoe suddenly visited tomorrow and Ma Xiuxiu knew nothing about her, it would be too embarrassing. Moreover, he had always had an important plan in mind - he wanted to open a restaurant! This was no small matter, as everything required capital, and in his opinion, a restaurant was undoubtedly the best business with the fastest return on investment and the most money.

After He Yuzhu hurried back home, he went straight into the kitchen and started working. Before long, he had prepared a table full of delicious dishes.

As soon as Ma Xiuxiu stepped into the house and saw the table full of sumptuous food, she couldn't help but look at He Yuzhu curiously and asked, "Brother Zhuzi, do you have anything in your heart that you want to tell me?"

When He Yuzhu heard this, he was stunned at first, then he showed a surprised expression and said: "Oh, how could you guess it?"

Ma Xiuxiu rolled her eyes at He Yuzhu in annoyance and said angrily, "Brother Zhuzi, we have known each other for so many years. Every time something important happened, you would specially cook a table full of delicious food. So this time, I knew something was wrong at a glance."

He Yuzhu's thoughts were exposed by Ma Xiuxiu. He scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said with a chuckle: "That's right, I do have two very important things to tell you."

Ma Xiuxiu looked at the child still playing outside and said: "Brother Zhuzi, we are a couple. If you have any problems, just tell me directly. I will definitely support you."

He Yuzhu's eyes sparkled with emotion. He gazed at Ma Xiuxiu in front of him affectionately and said slowly, "Xiuxiu, actually, this is not a big deal. First of all, there is a friend who used to live in this courtyard like us, but you haven't seen her. She left for a while because of something, but now she is back and said she will come to our house as a guest tomorrow."

As soon as He Yuzhu finished speaking, Ma Xiuxiu stared at him with her beautiful eyes and suddenly said, "Brother Zhuzi, could the friend you are talking about be Lou Xiao'e from the backyard?"

Hearing this, He Yuzhu was instantly shocked and secretly surprised. You know, he had almost never mentioned Lou Xiao'e to anyone! He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Xiu Xiu, how did you know this?"

Ma Xiuxiu smiled, revealing two cute dimples, and explained softly: "It was the deaf old lady in the backyard who told me. She also told me a lot about the things between you two."

He Yuzhu scratched his head, looking confused. He himself was not quite clear about what happened between him and Lou Xiaoe back then. "In that case, then okay, I will tell you about the second thing. I plan to open a restaurant of my own. In the next one or two days, I have to find a suitable store. When everything is ready, I may quit my current job."

Ma Xiuxiu nodded: "Brother Zhuzi, I will support you unconditionally, so let's have dinner."

He Yuzhu didn't expect Ma Xiuxiu to support him so much, so he nodded and said nothing.

At the same time, Lou Xiao'e returned to the house where she lived, which was just a temporary house rented through a friend.

Lou Xiao'e opened the door and saw a little boy inside: "Mom, where have you been? I didn't see you when I opened my eyes. I thought you didn't want me anymore."

The little boy looked about seven or eight years old, with a well-proportioned body and not thin. His eyes were deep and pure, as if they could penetrate all appearances and reach the depths of people's hearts. His long eyelashes were slightly curled up, adding a bit of softness to his eyes. When he smiled, the corners of his eyes curved, as if they could melt all the frost and release warm sunshine.

Lou Xiao'e hugged the little boy and said, "He Xiao, how could I abandon you? You are my son. I went to find your father today, but I didn't expect that your father already has a new family. What do you think I should do?"

He Xiao seemed to understand everything and looked at Lou Xiao'e: "Mom, I will always love you. You are the best mother in the world. Can you tell me about Dad?"

Lou Xiao'e held her son He Xiao's hand and said with emotion: "He Xiao, you must remember that your father He Yuzhu is an upright man. He is the chef of the steel mill, with superb cooking skills, upright and kind, and never likes to bully others. Back then, when mom was in the most difficult time, he helped us."

He Xiao nodded sensibly, with curiosity glittering in his eyes.

Lou Xiao'e continued, "Although your father sometimes has a bad temper, it's because he can't stand unfair things. He is always willing to help those in need, regardless of personal gains and losses."

He Xiao listened to his mother's story and was full of admiration for He Yuzhu. He secretly made up his mind to be an upright, kind and responsible person like He Yuzhu.

Lou Xiao'e kept mumbling to herself, her thoughts involuntarily drifting back to the bits and pieces she had experienced at that time. Her eyes were sometimes confused, sometimes clear, as if those things were happening again before her eyes.

Lou Xiao'e was actually as clear as a mirror, and immediately saw through the deep meaning of the deaf old lady's words - the old lady hoped that she could marry He Yuzhu and become a happy family. However, what she didn't expect was that He Yuzhu had no feelings for her.

It just so happened that He Yuzhu and Yu Haitang were having a hot affair at that time, which undoubtedly stabbed Lou Xiaoe's already lost heart. In addition, Lou Xiaoe herself was tired of this place and didn't want to stay here any longer. So, under the interweaving of various factors, she left with her parents in anger.

But no one expected that that night, Lou Xiao'e got drunk and got involved in an unexpected entanglement, and later found out that she was pregnant.

I originally wanted to abort the baby, but when I went to the hospital, the doctor said that my health was not good and if I aborted the baby, I would never be able to get pregnant again.

When Lou Xiao'e thought that she could no longer be a parent, she gave birth to the child. After all, the child was He Yuzhu's, so she used the "Xiao" from her own name and He Yuzhu's surname to name him He Xiao.

He Xiao shook Lou Xiao'e: "Mom, what are you thinking about here? You didn't even hear me calling you."

Lou Xiao'e smiled and said, "It's okay, go to bed early."
