Siheyuan: a better life

Chapter 881 Double happiness!

At about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Damao returned to the courtyard with a happy face. He saw Yan Bugui cleaning the yard. He quickly grabbed a handful of candy from the bag and said to Yan Bugui happily: "Uncle! Eat some candy. Xiaoxue gave birth to a son for me. He weighs 7.2 jin!"

When Yan Bugui learned that Han Xiaoxue had given birth to a son, he saw the hard candy that Xu Damao handed over and immediately congratulated Xu Damao, "Da Mao! Congratulations! You've finally become a father!"

When Xu Damao heard Yan Bugui's congratulations and thought about the fact that he finally had a child, he smiled and said to Yan Bugui: "Uncle! I still have to give candies to other neighbors, so I won't say more to you."

When Yan Bugui heard what Xu Damao said, he thought of how he had arranged for Yan Jiefang to go and tell Xu's parents the news. He pretended to be puzzled and asked Xu Damao, "Da Mao! When you sent your wife to the hospital, I immediately arranged for our Jiefang to go to Old Xu's place and tell your parents the news. I wonder if your parents have arrived at the hospital yet?"

They all lived in the same compound and had been neighbors for many years. When Xu Damao heard Yan Bugui's words, how could he not understand what he meant?

Xu Damao took out another handful of candy from the bag and thanked Yan Bugui, "Third Uncle! My parents have already rushed to the hospital and are now taking care of Xiaoxue and my son in the ward. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to get away and come back to give everyone candy. This handful of candy is my way of thanking you. I'll arrange for your family to be released and go tell my parents the news."

When Yan Bugui heard what Xu Damao said and saw the candy in Xu Damao's hand, he quickly reached out to take the candy and replied with a smile: "Da Mao! We are all neighbors living in the same compound. It is only natural for us to help each other."

When Xu Damao heard Yan Bugui's words, he naturally did not take them seriously. He quickly walked to the door of Wu Aiguo's house and shouted into the house, "Brother Aiguo! Brother Aiguo! Are you home?"

At this time, Xiao Yingying was leading her brothers to listen to the children's broadcast on the radio in the house. When the children heard Xu Damao's shouting outside the house, they immediately walked to the door with a smile, lifted the curtain and saw Xu Damao standing outside the house. They asked with a puzzled look on their faces: "Uncle Damao! My second uncle and my second sister-in-law are out. What do you want to talk to my second uncle about?"

When Xu Damao heard Xiao Yingying's question, he quickly grabbed a handful of candy from the bag and said to Xiao Yinyin happily, "Xiao Yingying! Your aunt Xiaoxue gave birth to a brother for you. Uncle Damao is very happy, so he went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some candy and brought it back for you to have some."

If Wu Aiguo was present at this time and heard what Xu Damao said to Xiao Yingying, he would definitely agree with her. After all, the child born by Han Xiaoxue was indeed Xiao Yingying's younger brother, and a blood-related brother at that.

After hearing what Xu Damao had said, Xiao Yingying learned that Han Xiaoxue had given birth to a son for Xu Damao, and she immediately congratulated Xu Damao, "Uncle Damao! Congratulations on finally becoming a father."

Because Wu Aiguo was not at home, after Xu Damao distributed candies to several children of the Wu family one by one, he picked up the cloth bag and distributed candies to the neighbors in the front yard. Then he walked towards the middle yard with the cloth bag.

"Shazhu! Shazhu! Come out quickly, I've brought you some candy." Xu Damao soon arrived at the door of Shazhu's house and shouted loudly into the house.

Because he drank a lot of wine at noon, Sha Zhu lay down on the bed for a nap after lunch. As a result, he was woken up by Xu Damao's shouting.

Hearing Xu Damao's shouting outside the house, Sha Zhu responded dissatisfiedly: "Xu Damao! Are you looking for a fight? Why are you shouting outside for no reason?"

When Xu Damao saw Sha Zhu coming out of the house, he quickly grabbed a handful of candies from his bag and said to Sha Zhu happily, "Sha Zhu! My wife gave birth to a big fat boy. I wonder if you dare to call me a rooster that can only crow but not lay eggs. These candies are for your child. Take them quickly."

Under Wu Aiguo's deliberate guidance over the years, Sha Zhu's character has changed a lot, and his relationship with Xu Damao is no longer a mortal enemy as it was in the past.

When Sha Zhu heard what Xu Damao said and saw the hard candy Xu Damao stuffed into his hand, he congratulated Xu Damao and said, "Xu Damao! Congratulations! You finally don't have to bear the stigma of being the last one to die."

Shazhu's congratulations really pissed off Xu Damao, but he didn't argue with Xu Damao. He said to Banggeng who was joining in the fun, "Banggeng! Come! Uncle Damao will treat you to candy." When Banggeng heard what Xu Damao said, he immediately stretched out his hands, took the candy from Xu Damao, and happily congratulated Xu Damao, "Thank you, Uncle Damao. Congratulations to Uncle Damao for all your wishes to come true and all the best."

Xu Damao was particularly happy to hear Banggeng's congratulations. He quickly took out another handful of candy from the bag and said to Banggeng, "Banggeng! Uncle Damao likes what you said. Uncle Damao will reward you with another handful of candy."

After Xu Damao distributed the candy to Banggeng, he quickly came to the door of Yi Zhonghai's house and shouted into the house: "Uncle! Aunt! Are you home?"

Yi Zhonghai and the aunt who were sitting in the house had actually heard the noise outside just now. Because Yi Zhonghai has been keeping a low profile in recent years, they did not go out to join in the fun.

When Yi Zhonghai heard Xu Damao's shouting coming from outside the house, he immediately gave the aunt a look, asking her to go out and take a look.

When Auntie saw Yi Zhonghai's eyes, she immediately put down what she was holding, walked quickly to the door, and asked with a smile: "Da Mao! What can I do for you?"

Xu Damao saw the auntie coming out of the house, and quickly grabbed a handful of candy and said to her, "Auntie! Xiaoxue gave me a big fat boy. These candies are for you and Uncle to lick."

Since adopting two children, Auntie Yi has felt fulfilled. When she learned that the Xu family had a new baby, she quickly reached out to take the hard candy handed over by Xu Damao and congratulated him with a smile: "Da Mao! Congratulations, your dream has finally come true!"

When Xu Damao heard Auntie's congratulations, he happily thanked her, "Auntie! Thank you for your congratulations."

Not long after Xu Damao distributed the candy in the yard and left the courtyard carrying a large cloth bag, Wu Pingshan and Chen Shuying finally returned to the courtyard.

When Yan Bugui saw Wu Pingshan, with a red face, pushing his bicycle into the courtyard, he quickly stepped forward and greeted Wu Pingshan enthusiastically, "Old Wu! Are you back from the wedding?"

Wu Pingshan, who was already half drunk, stopped immediately after hearing Yan Bugui's words, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, handed one to Yan Bugui, and replied smugly, "Old Yan! You don't know, my in-laws are too enthusiastic and refused to let us come back, so we came back so late."

When Yan Bugui saw the cigarette Wu Pingshan handed over, his eyes suddenly lit up. He quickly reached out to take it and sniffed it. He couldn't help but sighed: "Old Wu! This Peony cigarette smells delicious. It's really worthy of being a cigarette that only senior cadres are qualified to smoke."

Yan Bugui said this, put the cigarette to his ear, and then said to Wu Pingshan: "Old Wu! When your family was having a party today, Xu Damao's wife suddenly gave birth. Later, it was your Aiguo who drove to the hospital. Just before you came back, Xu Damao came back to get some things and bought a lot of candy.!"

"Uncle! Did Xu Damao's wife give birth to a boy or a girl?" Chen Shuying, who was standing by, learned that Han Xiaoxue went to the hospital to give birth. Without waiting for Yan Bugui to finish his words, she immediately asked Yan Bugui impatiently.

When Yan Bugui heard Chen Shuying asking whether it was a boy or a girl, he didn't think much and immediately introduced her to her, "Aiguo mom! If it's a girl, given Xu Damao's personality, would he buy candy to share? After all, Xu Damao is the only boy in the Xu family!"

"I didn't expect that the Wu family, in addition to marrying off their daughter, also had a baby boy today. This is simply a double blessing." Chen Shuying was so happy when she learned that Han Xiaoxue had given birth to a boy that she said to Wu Pingshan, "Pingshan! The Xu family has a baby boy. As neighbors, we have to express our gratitude no matter what. I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things later, and then go to the hospital to see Han Xiaoxue."

When Wu Pingshan heard what Chen Shuying said and saw her happy smile, he didn't know why, but he always felt that his wife was a little too happy. However, considering that they all lived in the same compound and their family and the Xu family were neighbors, Wu Pingshan didn't think much about it and said to Chen Shuying: "Shuying! Then let Yunyan accompany you to the hospital to see Xu's daughter-in-law."
