"Da Mao, what are you doing?"
Lou Xiao'e was shocked when she saw Xu Damao putting things into his bag.
She then walked over to take a closer look.
"Damao, where did you get the Maotai and so much delicious food?”
When she realized that the other party was packing good things, she was even more surprised.
Xu Damao smiled." Of course I bought it from the store. Didn't we agree to visit our parents today?" So I specially prepared some good things.”
"But this is Moutai? It was the best wine available now. It cost more than 30 yuan per bottle, and it was not easy to buy.”Lou Xiao'e said. She wasn't a girl who hadn't seen the world. As Miss Lou, she could naturally recognize that it was good wine at a glance.
Xu Damao said seriously," This wine is indeed not easy to get. The leader gave it to me when the movie was playing. Some of these candies and snacks were given by others, and some were bought by me at the store. There's nothing much to give to Mom, so I thought I'd give her some snacks and let her eat them when she's free."”
"You're really thoughtful." Lou Xiao'e smiled happily.
Naturally, she did not ask about the origin of the wine and candy.
"Alright, wife, it's done. Let's go.”Xu Damao called out.
"Alright." Lou Xiao'e happily agreed.
Then, Xu Damao placed the large and small packages on the bicycle. He rode the bicycle and rushed to his in-laws 'house with his wife.
"Yo, Xu Damao, are you going to visit relatives?”
When they passed through the courtyard, their attire attracted the attention of many people.
The third auntie in the front yard greeted Xu Damao.
"Yes, Third Aunt. Xiao'e and I went to visit her parents."”
"Good, good!" Third Aunt nodded and smiled.
"Third Aunt, let's go!"
Xu Damao sped up and soon drove out of the courtyard.
"Bu Gui, did you see that? Xu Damao accompanied Lou Xiao'e back to visit her parents.”Third Aunt said to Third Uncle, who was watering the plants at the side.
Third Uncle nodded and said," I saw it. It's really like the sun has risen from the west. As far as I know, ever since Lou Xiao'e married into our quad, Xu Damao has never accompanied her to visit her parents. Lou Xiao'e has always gone alone."”
"Yes, but Xu Damao has changed. He's really good to Lou Xiao'e.”Third Aunt sighed.
Third Uncle said," Yes, I feel that Xu Damao is completely different from before. Not only is he generous, but he also knows how to dote on his wife. Lou Xiao'e is so lucky. It's just a pity that she hasn't given birth to a son or daughter for Xu Damao after marrying him for so long."”
"I heard that Lou Xiao'e's situation is the same as an auntie. She can't give birth to children and is a hen that can't lay eggs.”Third Aunt lowered her voice.
While they were discussing behind their backs, Xu Damao had already driven Lou Xiao'e onto the main road and headed straight for the Lou family.
The Lou family was in Xidan, which was not too far away. If they took the bus, it would only take half an hour to go back and forth.
Although the bicycle was not as fast as the bus, it only took about half an hour to get there.
In less than half an hour, they arrived at their destination.
The white three-story house in front of him belonged to the Lou family.
Before the public-private partnership transformation, the Lou family was a big capitalist and a rich man.
Their family was the richest in the area and owned the largest private residence.
However, after the reform, the family's fortunes fell and plummeted.
As the years went by, their family's living space was gradually squeezed, and their lives became more and more difficult.
The huge house was indeed empty and eerily quiet.
He rang the doorbell and only after a long time did someone come to open the door.
The person who opened the door was a bald old man.
Xu Damao recognized that it was not Father Lou, but their old butler, Uncle Liu.
A few years ago, there were still some servants in the Lou family, but they were all dismissed later, leaving Uncle Liu alone.
He would probably have to send Uncle Liu home after some time.
"Uncle Liu." Lou Xiao'e called out.
"Miss, you're home?" Uncle Liu said in surprise.
Lou Xiao'e nodded." Yes, Damao and I came back to see Mom and Dad. Are they okay now?"”
Uncle Liu replied," Old Master's health hasn't been very good recently, but it's just an old illness. Madam is doing well."”
"Miss, son-in-law, please come in.”
He then invited Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e into the house.
The courtyard of the house was very empty, almost empty.
When he walked into the house, it was also empty. Almost everything that should have been moved away had been moved away.
An originally wealthy home had been emptied just like that, giving people the feeling that the house was bare.
Seeing that their daughter and son-in-law had arrived, the Lou family's parents hurriedly stood up to welcome them.
"Xiao'e, you're back?"
Mother Lou was a little emotional.
"Damao."
Then, she looked at Xu Damao.
"Dad, Mom, I brought Xiao'e back to visit you.”Xu Damao smiled and said politely.
The mother in front of him was in her fifties, but she looked to be in her thirties or forties.
As expected of the wife of a wealthy family, she took good care of herself.
She was graceful and elegant, and her body emitted a noble aura.
It was not an exaggeration to describe her as still charming.
"Alright, alright." The Lou parents nodded excitedly.
Xu Damao accompanied Lou Xiao'e to visit them. This was something they did not expect. It was an unexpected surprise.
"Dad, Mom, it was Da Mao's idea to visit you this time. Look, he specially prepared a lot of gifts for you. There's Dad's favorite wine and a lot of candy and snacks for Mom.”Lou Xiao'e said.
"Damao, why did you bring so many things? We're very happy that you can come." Father Lou said.
"We're very happy that you came with Xiao'e."”
Xu Damao said," This is what I should do. You are Xiao'e's parents, which is also my parents. I should show filial piety to you!"”
"He's obviously a filial child," said Lou's mother. Go in and sit down first."
She warmly invited Xu Damao and the others into the house.
After sitting down, everyone started chatting.
The atmosphere was harmonious.
After an unknown period of time, Father Lou asked Mother Lou to prepare the meal.
"Dad, Mom, you guys rest. I'll cook this meal.”
Xu Damao volunteered.
Since he had such good culinary skills, he naturally had to show off in front of his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Cooking could also increase his cooking proficiency, killing two birds with one stone.
"You'll do it?" Mother Lou said in surprise," I thought you didn't know how to cook? I'll do it. You rest, and I'll make your favorite hairy crabs.”
"I can make hairy crabs too," Xu Damao said. I haven't come to visit you two for a long time. It's not easy for me to take the opportunity to come over today. Aren't you giving me a chance to show off and be filial to you?”
"Mom, don't underestimate Damao. He can cook now, and the dishes he cooks are very delicious. If you don't believe me, you'll know when you try his dishes.”Lou Xiao'e said.
"Xiao'e is right. I learned a little cooking from her. It's not very delicious, but it's not too bad. After all, a famous teacher produces a talented disciple.”Xu Damao said.
With that, he went to the kitchen and started to get busy.
"Xiao'e, what's wrong with Da Mao?”
After Xu Damao left, Mother Lou asked in a low voice.
"Da Mao is completely different from before. Not only is he so polite to us, but he has also become so diligent."”
Lou Xiao'e said,"Damao has indeed changed. It's different from before."”
Whether Xu Damao had changed or not, as his wife, she could feel it clearly.
"Seeing him like this, we feel very gratified. We were most worried about the two of you not getting along."”
"There's no disagreement. We're doing well now. He treats me much better than before!”Lou Xiao'e smiled, looking pleased.
Not long after, Lou Xiao'e finished cooking.
When the delicacies were served on the table, the eyes of the Lou parents lit up.
Just by looking at the quality of these dishes, one could tell that they were not bad. Their culinary skills were on point.
They looked at Xu Damao in a new light.
"Dad, Mom, try it. See how I cook these dishes.”Xu Damao said.
"Alright, I'll try it." Father Lou nodded.
He picked up the food and tasted it.
He wouldn't know if he didn't try it. After tasting it, his expression changed drastically.
"Delicious! It was really delicious! Damao's cooking skills were really good!”He clicked his tongue in praise.
Mother Lou also tried it and praised it greatly.
"It's good that you two like it. This way, I won't be wasting my time.”Xu Damao was beaming with joy as he said," Dad, come, this is a bottle of Maotai that I specially saved for you. The leader gave it to me when I went out to play a movie. I couldn't bear to drink it, so I'm sharing it with you now. However, I heard from Uncle Liu that your health hasn't been good recently, so you should drink less. It's fine as a token of appreciation."”
He poured wine for Father Lou.
Lou Cheng's father shook his head." That's an old problem. It's not a big deal. It's not easy for you to come and reunite with us. Today, I have to accompany you for a few drinks."”
He asked Xu Damao to fill it up for him.
Xu Damao could only follow his instructions.
The son-in-law and his wife soon started drinking.
The atmosphere immediately became tense.
"Damao, your father and I are very happy to see that the two of you are as loving as ever. We don't want anything else. We just hope that the two of you will live a good life.”
After three rounds of drinking and eating, Mother Lou said.
"You guys are doing fine now. It's just a pity that after so long, Xiao'e's stomach still doesn't live up to expectations and she can't give us a grandson. Otherwise, you guys would definitely be the happiest family!”
She looked regretful.
"Mom, you look happy today. Can you not mention this and save me some face?”Lou Xiao'e said awkwardly.
Xu Damao said,"" Mom, she doesn't blame Xiao'e for this. You're highly educated and cultured people. You should know that from a biological point of view, it's not just a woman's problem that she can't have children. Men might also have problems. So, I've decided to pick a day to go to the hospital with Xiao'e for a check-up. We'll see who's the problem and what the problem is. No matter who's the problem, we'll treat them well. You have to believe in medicine. I promise that I'll make Xiao'e pregnant within a year. You guys have grandchildren!"
It turned out that Lou Xiao'e's inability to have children was Xu Damao's problem, not hers.
It was just that Xu Damao was ignorant and never pushed the problem to himself. He believed that it was Lou Xiao'e's problem.
Therefore, he planned to go to the hospital for a check-up when he had time to see which part of the surgery went wrong.
It shouldn't be that difficult to treat a man.
Even if he was born infertile, he believed that it would not be a big problem with the system.
Hearing Xu Damao's words, the Lou family's parents were stunned.
Lou Xiao'e was also dumbfounded.
Was this still the same Xu Damao who complained every day that his wife couldn't have children?
He had changed.
Completely changed!
"Yes, yes, yes. You have to believe in medicine. If there's a problem with not having children, it can be cured.”Lou Cheng's father reacted and nodded repeatedly.
"Thank you, Damao."
Mother Lou's eyes turned red and tears welled up in her eyes.
She was moved to tears by Xu Damao's words.
"Mom, why are you thanking me? Isn't that what I should be doing? Xiao'e and I are husband and wife. If there's anything, we'll face it together and solve it together. It's useless to blame each other. We can't solve the problem.”Xu Damao said seriously.
"Yes, Da Mao is right.”Lou Cheng's father said," Come, let's drink and eat!”
He raised his glass and toasted Xu Damao.
The atmosphere was lively.
