Dressed as a little fool: marry and have children

After dinner, He Yuzhu gently coaxed Changan to sleep. The little guy's pouting mouth softened everyone's heart. When Changan's breathing became stable, He Yuzhu got up quietly, walked to Liu Xiuxiu, and said softly:

"Xiu Xiu, Dad will be back in a few days. Let's go clean up the house and dry the quilts tomorrow so that we can move in when Dad comes back."

Upon hearing this, Liu Xiuxiu immediately put down the work in her hands and replied softly: "Okay, let's go and clean up now. We happen to have some washed sheets and quilt covers here. We'll change them later." After saying that, she turned around and went to look for the sheets and quilt covers, her movements quick and careful.

The two of them took the bed sheets and quilt covers and went to the west room to pack up. While Liu Xiuxiu was tidying up the room skillfully, she asked He Yuzhu:

"Brother Yuzhu, will Dad come back with Aunt Bai this time? Last time I heard from Aunt Bai that Yugang, Yuqiang and their wives are pregnant, so they didn't come back with Yu Shui to the wedding." There was a hint of curiosity in her tone.

He Yuzhu stopped what he was doing, pondered for a moment, frowned slightly, and replied, "That should be it. Dad didn't say in detail in the letter who would be coming back this time. He just mentioned in the letter to Yu Shui that he would be back, and didn't say anything else." There was a hint of worry in his words that he himself didn't even notice.

When Liu Xiuxiu heard that He Yuzhu didn't know the details, she said in confusion: "Oh, but it's really strange. He just went back and now he's suddenly coming back without explaining anything clearly." She frowned, as if she was thinking about the possible reasons.

......

At the same time, at the He family in Baoding, He Daqing looked at Bai Xiaolian, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. He gently grasped the teacup in his hand, as if looking for some kind of comfort, and then slowly spoke:

"Xiao Lian, the situation here has stabilized now. Yu Qiang and Yu Gang are married. I plan to return to Sijiu City and spend more time with my children in my lifetime. What do you think..."

Bai Xiaolian's expression froze slightly when she heard this. She looked up at He Daqing, a trace of reluctance and struggle flashing in her eyes.

She sighed softly and said slowly: "Yu Gang and Yu Qiang have taken root here and have their own small families. I don't want to be too far away from them."

He Daqing looked at Bai Xiaolian and seemed to understand her thoughts to some extent, but his decision was not shaken.

He took a deep breath and said seriously: "Xiao Lian, I know you can't bear to leave Yu Gang and Yu Qiang, but we also need to consider our own lives. If you don't go back to Sijiu City, then our relationship..."

Before He Daqing could finish his words, he was interrupted by Bai Xiaolian. She shook her head gently, with a hint of determination in her eyes:

"Let's separate. This way you can go back to Sijiu City to deal with your affairs, and I can continue to stay here to take care of Yu Gang and Yu Qiang. When the New Year comes, we can get together when we have time. That's good too."

He Daqing felt helpless when he heard Bai Xiaolian's words. He knew that Bai Xiaolian didn't want to get divorced, but she didn't want to leave Yu Gang and Yu Qiang either.

He was silent for a while, then sighed: "Xiao Lian, you know that even if we get divorced, Yu Zhu's feelings for Yu Gang and Yu Qiang will not change."

Bai Xiaolian listened to He Daqing's words, and a trace of gratitude flashed in her eyes. She nodded gently, then looked at He Daqing and said:

"I know you've always taken good care of them. I've been with you for so long, I don't want to leave. But I also understand your decision. Come and see me when you have time, okay?"

He Daqing looked at Bai Xiaolian, feeling a wave of emotion in his heart. He took a deep breath, then nodded heavily: "Yes, I will." After that, he got up and went back to the house to pack up.

Bai Xiaolian left the house and told He Yugang and He Yuqiang about the incident. After hearing it, the two brothers expressed their understanding of He Daqing's approach.

They already have their own families and understand their father's feelings about returning to the city. Although the two daughters-in-law were somewhat reluctant to see their father-in-law, who could earn money, leave, they had to accept this fact after being persuaded by the two brothers.

......

He Daqing was alone, carrying a heavy package on his shoulders, walking along the quiet streets and returning to the familiar courtyard.

Unlike the last time when He Yushui was sent out, his return this time seemed a little more low-key. He stood at the door, his eyes swept across the familiar courtyard, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart.

He Yuzhu heard the noise, opened the door, and was surprised to see He Daqing standing at the door. He looked around and didn't see anyone else, so he pulled He Daqing into the house with a concerned expression on his face:

"Dad, you're back. You said you were coming back but you didn't tell me in the letter what time you were coming back so I could pick you up. By the way, Dad, you're coming back alone this time? How long do you plan to take care of me?"

He Daqing put down his package, sat on the stool, looked at He Yuzhu, and answered seriously: "I won't leave this time. I plan to be closer to you and Yushui and enjoy the happiness of family life."

When He Yuzhu heard the news, he was stunned for a moment, then a happy smile appeared on his face: "That's good, Changan will be handed over to his grandfather in the future, and I won't take care of it anymore, so as to save trouble for Xiuxiu and me." He said while smiling and shaking his head.

When He Daqing heard He Yuzhu mention Chang'an, a proud smile appeared on his face: "Our Chang'an is so well-behaved. Besides, Chang'an is being looked after by your third aunt. Do you think I don't know? If you continue to talk about our Chang'an, I will not forgive you."

After saying that, He Daqing rolled his eyes at He Yuzhu, angry that he said that about his little grandson.

He Yuzhu smiled and joked, "Yes, yes, it's my fault. From now on, Chang'an will be handed over to you, and I won't be in charge anymore." His words revealed his mockery of his father.

He Daqing was amused by He Yuzhu's words, and he nodded to show his agreement. Then, he seemed to remember something, and his expression became a little serious: "By the way, Yuzhu, your Aunt Bai will not come back in the future?"

He Yuzhu looked at He Daqing's serious expression and answered carefully: "Aunt Bai...she will be in Baoding from now on. Are you...are you having a conflict?"

He Daqing sighed and shook his head: "No, we didn't have any conflicts. It's just... some things are beyond our control. She has her own ideas and plans, and I respect her choices. In the future, during the New Year and other holidays, we can go to Baoding to see her when we have time."

He Yuzhu looked at his father's somewhat lonely expression, and a complex emotion surged in his heart. He knew that the relationship between his father and Aunt Bai was not so easy to break.

But he also understood that everyone has their own choices and destiny, and all he could do was silently support his father's decision.
