Chapter 499 Lou Xiao'e Eats
Before He Yuzhu stepped into the door, the deaf old lady sitting in the house saw him from afar and asked hurriedly, "Zhuzi, is the meal ready? My stomach has been rumbling for a long time!"
Hearing this, He Yuzhu opened his mouth and seemed to want to say something, but at this moment, an unexpected person appeared - Lou Xiao'e actually walked towards this side slowly. The moment he saw her, He Yuzhu swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
In fact, He Yuzhu had a lot of things to say in his heart, but when he thought about Xu Damao lying unconscious on the hospital bed at this moment, it would be too unkind for him to say anything hurtful. So, he took a deep breath, calmed down and said to Lou Xiaoe: "Lou Xiaoe, just put your heart at ease, Xu Damao will definitely wake up!"
Lou Xiao'e never expected that such comforting words would come from He Yuzhu's mouth.
She was slightly stunned, and just as she was about to respond, He Yuzhu said something that almost made Lou Xiaoe faint. He said confidently: "Xu Damao is a complete disaster! The old saying is true, 'Good people don't live long, but disasters last for thousands of years'!"
He Yuzhu wanted to say more, but seeing that Lou Xiao'e's face was not right, he didn't say anything else.
Lou Xiao'e was so angry that her chest was heaving, and she couldn't utter a word for a long time. The deaf old lady next to her saw that something was wrong, so she quickly walked up to He Yuzhu with her cane, raised her cane and tapped him lightly, and said angrily: "That's enough, if you can't speak, just shut up and don't say a word. Hurry up and serve me some rice!"
After being hit by the old lady, He Yuzhu immediately wilted like an eggplant hit by frost. He hung his head, nodded submissively, then turned around and walked into the kitchen without saying a word, and obediently went to serve the rice.
The deaf old lady guessed that He Yuzhu couldn't speak, but she didn't expect him to be so speechless.
Lou Xiao'e had no intention of staying for dinner. She thought that as long as she could escort the deaf old lady home safely, she would be done. Who would have thought that when she stepped into the He family's door, she would find that He Yuzhu had already prepared a sumptuous meal. This really surprised Lou Xiao'e, but since they were so hospitable, she felt embarrassed to refuse and decided to eat a little here.
Although I knew that the deaf old lady had ulterior motives, it was just a meal and nothing would happen, so I didn't say anything.
Seeing that Lou Xiao'e was willing to stay for dinner, the deaf old lady's face lit up with joy. She quickly picked up her chopsticks and put a large chopstick full of food into Lou Xiao'e's bowl. She also asked with concern: "Xiao'e, you have to eat more! By the way, how about we have a little drink to cheer us up?"
Lou Xiao'e quickly waved her hands, shook her head gently and said, "Thank you, old lady. But I really can't do that. I'm worried that Xu Damao will be worried if he suddenly wakes up at night and can't find me, so I still dare not drink." After hearing this, the deaf old lady no longer insisted, but just smiled and nodded to show her understanding.
The deaf old lady was not in a hurry. After all, Chinese New Year was coming tomorrow. She could invite Lou Xiao'e back then and her plan would be successful.
At this time, He Yuzhu on the side could not help but grin and said, "Okay, then you should try my specialty quickly! Humph, a person like Xu Damao can't expect me to cook for him even if he is daydreaming!"
Hearing this, Lou Xiao'e couldn't help but glare at He Yuzhu fiercely, wondering why this guy spoke so harshly. But despite her complaints, when she actually tasted the food, she had to admit that He Yuzhu's cooking skills were indeed quite outstanding. So, Lou Xiao'e temporarily put aside her unhappiness and concentrated on enjoying this delicious meal.
He Yuzhu was also telling the truth. After all, that bastard Xu Damao had done a lot of bad things.
As for the deaf old lady, she knew that the matter she asked Lou Xiao'e to help with was not urgent, so she chewed the food leisurely and leisurely.
When everyone was full and satisfied, the deaf old lady raised her head, turned her gaze to He Yuzhu, and said with a smile: "Zhuzi, it's getting late, hurry up and send Lou Xiao'e home safely."
Although He Yuzhu didn't understand why the deaf old lady asked him to go and send Lou Xiao'e off, after all, they lived in the same courtyard, so was there any need to send her off?
But how could he not listen to the deaf old lady's instructions? He just left.
After going out, Lou Xiao'e did not go back, but prepared to go to the toilet. He Yuzhu looked at Lou Xiao'e and said, "Lou Xiao'e, what are you doing?"
Lou Xiao'e gave He Yuzhu a cold look and left without saying anything. He Yuzhu also went back. After all, what did this have to do with him?
When He Yuzhu went back, the deaf old lady looked at him and said, "Zhuzi, send the person back now."
He Yuzhu nodded, didn't say anything, but smiled.
The deaf old lady went back to sleep directly. He Yuzhu didn’t know what the deaf old lady was thinking, so he went back directly.
When Lou Xiao'e came back, she happened to meet Ran Qiuye: "Qiuye, don't go out late at night, understand? After all, the road outside is slippery. It will be bad if you fall."
Ran Qiuye smiled, looked at Lou Xiaoe and told her what she saw that day: "Sister Xiaoe, you should be careful of this deaf old lady. After all, she actually pretended to fall down."
Lou Xiao'e didn't expect that the deaf old lady actually pretended to fall. She wanted to say something, but nodded: "Qiu Ye, I understand. You should go back quickly."
Ran Qiuye knew that she had said everything she needed to say, so she didn't say anything else. After all, Xu Damao came back at this time, and he came back in a coma, so Lou Xiaoe was naturally unhappy.
After Lou Xiao'e returned home, she looked at Xu Damao who was still unconscious on the bed. She really didn't know what to say. She could only simply wipe Xu Damao and go to bed.
Although the next day was Chinese New Year, the courtyard was not so lively this year. After all, Jia Dongxu from the Central Courtyard had become a paraplegic, Bang Geng was still in prison, and Xu Damao from the Back Courtyard was still in a coma.
Yan Bugui from the front yard was also demoted to a teacher and was almost fired, so he had no intention of going out to write couplets.
Only the Liu Haizhong family in the backyard was very happy.
