Dressed as a little fool: marry and have children

Chapter 93: The Sequel to the Pasted Matchbox

As soon as He Yuzhu stepped into the threshold of the courtyard, he heard the neighbor aunties praising him: "Yuzhu, your daughter Xiuxiu is really hardworking and capable, you must treat her well!" The aunties' words were full of praise for Liu Xiuxiu.

He Yuzhu smiled and responded as he walked, "Yes, I will." His heart was filled with pride in Liu Xiuxiu. He thought that in such a short time, Liu Xiuxiu had integrated into the Siheyuan courtyard. She really deserved to be my wife.

When he opened the door, He Yuzhu saw Liu Xiuxiu sitting at the table, concentrating on pasting matchboxes. She lowered her head and worked so hard that she didn't even notice He Yuzhu coming in. He Yuzhu couldn't help but be attracted by her serious and hard-working appearance, but then he felt distressed.

He walked to Liu Xiuxiu's side quietly without disturbing her. He carefully observed Liu Xiuxiu's every move, and then followed her to paste the matchboxes. His movements were gentle and skillful, as if he and Liu Xiuxiu were in a tacit cooperation.

When Liu Xiuxiu was working hard on the paste, she suddenly found that her chopsticks were missing. She looked up and was surprised to see He Yuzhu holding chopsticks and carefully pasting the matchbox. She said in surprise: "Brother Yuzhu, you are back. I didn't notice it for so long."

He Yuzhu gently finished pasting the matchbox in his hand, raised his head, looked at Liu Xiuxiu's surprised and somewhat shy expression, and a warm current surged in his heart. He smiled and said to Liu Xiuxiu: "I just came back too, and I didn't want to disturb you when I saw you were so serious. In fact, I am also very interested in pasting matchboxes, so I followed you to paste."

When Liu Xiuxiu heard He Yuzhu's words, she felt warm in her heart. She knew that He Yuzhu followed her to make matchboxes because he cared about her.

So, Liu Xiuxiu gently put away the matchbox on the table and put it aside, then gently said to He Yuzhu: "Brother Yuzhu, you have been busy all day, just take a good rest when you come back. I'll go heat up the food." After that, she picked up the lunch box that He Yuzhu brought back and walked towards the kitchen.

He Yuzhu felt distressed as he watched Liu Xiuxiu rubbing his shoulders while walking. He stood up, followed Liu Xiuxiu into the kitchen, and said softly, "Let's do it together, and move faster."

When Liu Xiuxiu heard what He Yuzhu said, she stopped insisting. So the two of them got busy together, and soon, dinner was ready. They sat at the table and enjoyed this simple and warm dinner time.

During dinner, the two chatted about daily trivia, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious. Liu Xiuxiu picked up food for He Yuzhu from time to time, and He Yuzhu asked her with concern if she was tired. Their eyes were full of love and gratitude for each other.

After finishing the meal, Liu Xiuxiu was about to get up to clean up the dishes, but He Yuzhu gently stopped her. He smiled and said, "Xiuxiu, sit down for a while, I'll do it." After that, he quickly washed the dishes regardless of Liu Xiuxiu's obstruction.

Then, He Yuzhu walked behind Liu Xiuxiu and gently massaged her shoulders. His technique was skillful and gentle, as if he could sense Liu Xiuxiu's physical fatigue.

While massaging my shoulders, he whispered, "Don't sit still when you're pasting matchboxes next time. Walk around after a while, otherwise your eyes will get dry and your shoulders will feel uncomfortable."

Liu Xiuxiu was touched when she heard He Yuzhu's words. She knew that He Yuzhu was caring and considerate of her. But she couldn't help asking, "Brother Yuzhu, don't you object to me making matchboxes?"

He Yuzhu stopped what he was doing and gently turned Liu Xiuxiu's body to face him. He looked into Liu Xiuxiu's eyes and said affectionately, "Xiuxiu, how could I object? I know you are doing this for the good of our family and to make more money. But I hope you can take care of yourself. So, promise me, don't make yourself too tired."

Liu Xiuxiu looked deeply into He Yuzhu's eyes full of care, and listened to his every sincere word. She felt as if a warm current was flowing slowly through her heart, and she was deeply moved.

She understood that He Yuzhu not only respected her determination to share the burden of the family, but also cared about her physical health and inner feelings. This understanding and care made Liu Xiuxiu feel extremely precious.

So, she nodded gently to He Yuzhu, her eyes flashing with determination, and said "hmm" softly to express her agreement. Although her voice was subtle, it was full of strength and determination.

As night fell, the two of them had an intimate exercise as usual. After the exercise, Liu Xiuxiu lay in He Yuzhu's arms, closed her eyes tiredly, and soon fell into a sweet dream. Looking at Liu Xiuxiu sleeping in his arms, He Yuzhu could not fall asleep.

He knew Liu Xiuxiu's ambition and tenacity. She was unwilling to be just a housewife and was eager to create more value for the family. However, job opportunities in real life were not so easy to find, so Liu Xiuxiu could only temporarily choose to receive the relatively easy job of matchbox.

He Yuzhu felt sorry for Liu Xiuxiu's hard work and didn't want to see her overworked. With a strong sense of responsibility, he decided to find a way to find a job that was easier and more suitable for Liu Xiuxiu. He knew it would take time and effort, but he was willing to pay for Liu Xiuxiu's happiness.

So, He Yuzhu made up his mind and prepared to go to Director Wang of the street to ask if there were any opportunities for temporary work. With the thought of finding a suitable job for Liu Xiuxiu, He Yuzhu gradually fell asleep.

The next morning, the sun shone through the curtains onto He Yuzhu's face. He got up early and prepared breakfast for Liu Xiuxiu. Then he walked out of the house and headed towards the street office.

Arriving at the subdistrict office, He Yuzhu went directly to Director Wang's office. He knocked on the door gently and waited for a response. As the sound of "enter" came, he pushed the door open and walked in.

"Auntie Wang, I'm here. I hope I didn't disturb you." He Yuzhu greeted her warmly with a bright smile on her face.

Director Wang also showed an enthusiastic expression when she saw He Yuzhu. She knew that He Yuzhu's cooking skills were particularly good. Her father was about to celebrate his 60th birthday and was worried about not being able to find a suitable chef. So, she said, "No, no, please sit down. Yuzhu, why are you here today? Is there something going on?"

He Yuzhu sat in Director Wang's office, looking at her enthusiastic smile, thinking that maybe his idea could work out. So he asked tentatively, "Auntie Wang, does our street office have any temporary job opportunities recently? I want to find a job for my wife."

Director Wang frowned slightly, with a somewhat embarrassed look on her face. She looked at He Yuzhu and answered frankly: "Yuzhu, you know the current situation. Many people are waiting for the street to arrange jobs for them. The good positions have been taken up long ago. Now there is only one job left, sorting and registering items at a waste point."

After that, Director Wang observed He Yuzhu's expression. She saw that He Yuzhu was lost in thought, as if considering whether this position was suitable for Liu Xiuxiu. So, she added: "This position may not sound very good, and the environment is a bit dirty. Moreover, people who go there must be able to read and write, because they need to register and organize their belongings."

After listening to Director Wang's words, He Yuzhu felt disappointed. He knew that Liu Xiuxiu was illiterate, so this position was not suitable for her. But he did not show it, and instead said to Director Wang gratefully: "Auntie Wang, thank you so much. My wife is illiterate, so she may not be suitable for this position. I have to trouble you to pay more attention to see if there are other suitable positions."

Director Wang looked at He Yuzhu's sincere eyes, nodded, and said, "Don't worry, Yuzhu. I will pay more attention. If there are other suitable positions, I will inform you as soon as possible."

He Yuzhu stood up gratefully, said goodbye to Director Wang and left the office. Although he was a little disappointed, it was also expected. He could only pay more attention in the future. If it really doesn't work, he will have to spend money to buy a job...
