Siheyuan: Steel Mill Engineer

Chapter 119 Hope
"I'm afraid Xu Damao is going to be in trouble this time." He Yuzhu said while pedaling his bicycle.

"There's nothing we can do. This time the matter has become so big. Moreover, the factory is now at a critical period. Xu Damao has created a lot of difficulties for the factory, which already had little hope. If he fails to compete for the project, what Xu Damao will face, only God knows." Yang Zhenyu said with a smile.

Now, Xu Damao's treatment is still ongoing.

However, Xu Damao has not yet woken up, and everything has not been fully confirmed.

"Xu Damao is from our compound after all. With such a big incident happening, I'm afraid the whole compound will be affected as well." He Yuzhu said.

"I see, this year's advanced model is gone again." Yang Zhenyu also said.

"Hey, come to think of it, what's going on in our compound? We didn't get any advanced awards last year, and we're going to get none this year. I'm afraid the neighbors in the compound are going to be furious," said He Yuzhu with a smile.

"You two are really something. You don't ride your bikes properly every time. Be careful not to hit a tree." Sha Meifeng patted He Yuzhu on the back and said.

"Our skills are top-notch, we will definitely not collide." He Yuzhu said confidently.

"Then I will have no problem at all." As he said that, Yang Zhenyu increased the speed of pedaling his bicycle.

"Because Xu Damao's injuries were too severe, the hospital conducted a comprehensive examination on him. The results showed that Xu Damao was infertile at all, and the problem had existed for a long time. In other words, we don't know whose child the wife is carrying in her belly," said an aunt.

"I went to the hospital to see Xu Damao today. He looked really miserable. He had bandages all over his body and was completely unresponsive," said an aunt.

The two speeding bicycles attracted the attention of people nearby, and the single men and women looked at them with some envy.

When He Yuzhu saw Yang Zhenyu like this, he immediately sped up.

Yang Zhenyu and Zhou Qianqian looked at each other, then both lowered their heads.

Although he was accompanied by people, his speed was not slow.

"What news?" Yi Zhonghai was very curious. Xu Damao was injured so badly, what news could there be?
"Wasn't he sent to the hospital yesterday? The hospital examined Xu Damao, and just completed all the examinations today. When I went there, the doctor was talking to the Xu couple about the results, and I happened to hear it." The aunt explained.

They all knew Auntie's character, and at this time, she must be trying to keep it a secret.

"Yes, yes, I am not stable. Then tell me what is going on." Yi Zhonghai nodded repeatedly.

However, Yi Zhonghai was obviously not as patient as he was in front of outsiders.

The sudden acceleration startled the two women in the back seat, and they screamed almost at the same time.

"What does the doctor say?" Yi Zhonghai asked.

Although it cannot be said that he is gloating, his attitude is very clear.

"what!"

"Why are you so anxious? You're so old but you still don't know how to be steady. You're not as good as the two younger generations like Zhenyu." An aunt glared at Yi Zhonghai and said.

"What did the doctor say? Please tell me quickly. It's really making me anxious." Yi Zhonghai said helplessly to the old lady.

"The doctor said that there is no big problem. As long as Xu Damao wakes up, everything will be fine. But there is one piece of bad news that others may not know. I happened to hear it by accident today." The aunt said mysteriously.

"This is such a sad story." Yang Zhenyu suddenly said this.

"Yes, it's a really sad story." Zhou Qianqian also nodded.

"It's enough for our family to know about this matter. Don't go out and talk about it. We don't know how the Xu family will deal with this matter." Yi Zhonghai said after a moment of hesitation. "Yes, that's right. This matter still needs to be kept secret. What if..." Auntie didn't say anything else, but everyone present understood her meaning.

Yi Zhonghai and Auntie know too well the desire for children of those who cannot have children, especially when they are older and have to worry about their retirement, it is a real hope and they dream of having a child.

Yang Zhenyu and Zhou Qianqian didn't say anything, they also knew what the old couple's pain points were.

It is better to remain silent at this time.

The biggest gossip in the factory these days is Xu Damao’s gossip, and the workers are talking about it with great relish.

Xu Damao's parents were worried because Xu Damao's injuries were really serious and the factory refused to reimburse him, so they had to pay for everything themselves.

"Have you heard? That stupid boy Xu Damao has woken up."

The only person who could take the initiative to gossip with Yang Zhenyu must be He Yuzhu.

Others would definitely not take the initiative to tell Yang Zhenyu these things, and they still kept a certain distance from Yang Zhenyu.

"Oh? Are you awake? What happened?" Yang Zhenyu asked curiously.

"Well, the situation is not bad. Although he was seriously injured, he recovered well. However, I heard that he is not in a very good mood, and I don't know why." He Yuzhu said.

Others didn't know, but Yang Zhenyu had a guess.

I guess Xu Damao knew about my situation, so he seemed in a bad mood.

I'm afraid at this time, Xu Damao is still thinking about what to do next?

Although he has a wife, the child is not his own. This kind of thing would be very painful for anyone.

However, Xu Damao himself is infertile. If he gives up this child now, he may never have the chance to have children in the future.

Even more likely, no one will be with him in the future. Women of this era still hope to carry on the family line for their husband's family.

"Anyway, it's a good thing that Xu Damao has woken up. We are from the same compound. Even if this kid has done a lot of wrong things before, we can't expect him to die early, right?" Yang Zhenyu said with a smile.

"That's right. We should still hope for their approval. However, this matter has become so big that the kid will definitely not feel good in the end." He Yuzhu nodded.

"Don't worry about them. We just need to live our own lives well. We don't have the ability to care about so many things. So, just live our lives well and when the baby is born, take good care of him and let him go to a good university in the future. This is the most important thing." Yang Zhenyu said while leaning against a tree.

"Speaking of this, I envy you. You and Xixi are both students. Especially you, you are a college student. Your children will definitely be able to get into a good university in the future. I am worried about you. I hope they will follow me and be a cook for the rest of their lives." He Yuzhu said while leaning against the tree.

"What's wrong with being a cook? Being a cook is pretty good. A cook will never starve in a famine. Besides, with your cooking skills, you will be in high demand wherever you go." Yang Zhenyu said.

"If you say so, I'd be very proud." He Yuzhu said jokingly.

"Haha..." Yang Zhenyu laughed.

I have been in this era for so many years, and although I don’t have high-tech such as mobile phones and computers, this ordinary yet fulfilling life also makes me full of hope.

Yang Zhenyu feels that this kind of life may be the reason why people talk about it so much.
