Chapter 502 Lou Xiao'e Almost Got Drunk
Originally, according to the deaf old lady's calculations, she thought that if she drank a little wine and created a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, sparks might fly between Lou Xiao'e and He Yuzhu.
This was exactly what the deaf old lady was thinking, and it seemed like this thing was about to succeed.
However, what the deaf old lady never expected was that just as she was about to start her wishful thinking, Lou Xiao'e suddenly stood up. Lou Xiao'e said to the deaf old lady with a smile: "Old lady, I really drank a lot today. If I continue like this, I'm afraid I will be drunk and unconscious, so I'd better go back first."
The deaf old lady didn't notice that Lou Xiao'e's finger was broken, so she wanted to say something to persuade Lou Xiao'e.
Lou Xiao'e felt a little pain in her fingers, but it also made her more awake.
The deaf old lady originally wanted to call He Yuzhu, but she didn't expect that He Yuzhu was just drinking there, so she really didn't know what to say.
Seeing this, the deaf old lady was anxious and was about to ask Lou Xiao'e to stay a little longer. Unexpectedly, Lou Xiao'e just nodded slightly and turned away without hesitation.
Looking at Lou Xiao'e's back as she walked away, the deaf old lady couldn't help but sigh secretly, thinking to herself: It seems that this matter can't be rushed! But it's not bad to have such progress today, after all, it's the first step.
After all, the deaf old lady knew that Lou Xiao'e wanted to wake Xu Damao up and asked her to do so, so she was not in a hurry about this matter.
In fact, the deaf old lady originally planned to ask He Yuzhu to get up and see Lou Xiaoe off, but then she thought that doing this too often would be counterproductive and cause others to dislike her. Thinking of this, the deaf old lady had to give up, silently picked up the wine glass and took another sip, then staggered back to her room to rest.
The deaf old lady had indeed drunk a little too much, after all, she was old, so she went home early.
On the other side, He Yuzhu remained at the table and continued to eat. While chewing the food in his mouth, he recalled the various troubles he had encountered this year, and suddenly an indescribable feeling of depression surged in his heart.
You know, I was the head chef in the kitchen two years ago, and I had a hope to earn the position of canteen director this year.
But he didn't expect that this year not only did his salary not go up, but it was reduced instead. He became a toilet cleaner. How could He Yuzhu be happy?
Not only was he demoted to a toilet cleaner, but it became difficult for him to find a wife from then on.
So, He Yuzhu simply picked up the wine glass on the table and drank several glasses of strong liquor in succession, trying to drown his sorrows. Soon, He Yuzhu, who was not good at drinking, felt dizzy and the scene in front of him began to become blurry.
Finally, he stood up unsteadily, walked unsteadily towards the bedroom, and soon fell on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
He Yuzhu now just feels that his alcohol tolerance is getting lower and lower, and he has to get drunk before he can fall asleep.
As for Lou Xiao'e, she hurried back home. When she pushed open the door and walked into the room, she saw Xu Damao sleeping soundly on the bed. Lou Xiao'e walked slowly to the bedside and called softly: "Xu Damao, when can you wake up?"
Xu Damao had fallen asleep, but unexpectedly was woken up by Lou Xiaoe.
However, although Xu Damao woke up, his eyes were still closed and he could not open them. He could only listen to Lou Xiao'e's words quietly.
At this moment, he was eager to tell Lou Xiao'e that he had woken up, but his mouth seemed to be under a spell and he could not open it no matter how hard he tried.
After Lou Xiao'e gently treated Xu Damao's face, she stared at her husband lying on the bed, who seemed to be in deep sleep, and tears welled up in her eyes. She stretched out her trembling hands and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, because the man in front of her, who should have been full of energy, was now lying there lifeless, no different from a corpse.
Lou Xiao'e began to clean the wound on her hand, after all, she had just been stabbed by glass fragments.
Lou Xiao'e stayed beside Xu Damao silently, talking about many things happening outside. Perhaps the aftereffects of the few glasses of strong liquor gradually came to her mind, or perhaps the anxiety and fatigue in her heart made her gradually lose consciousness. As she talked, Lou Xiao'e fell into a daze and fell asleep. In the whole room, only Xu Damao was still awake, listening attentively to every word his wife said.
Xu Damao didn't know what to say. After all, he didn't know that Lou Xiao'e had suffered so much at home. But the most crucial problem now was that he couldn't say anything.
As time passed, the long night finally passed. In the past, the courtyard was always full of laughter and noise at this time. But this year was so unusual that the whole courtyard was unusually quiet, and one could even hear the rustling of leaves in the breeze.
You have to know that every household has its own affairs. The one who is the most angry is Yi Zhonghai from the Central Courtyard. In the past, He Yuzhu would ask him to go to the backyard.
You know, He Yuzhu's cooking skills are quite good, so he was sulking at home.
The deaf old lady also wanted to invite Lou Xiao'e to dinner at her home. After all, if this continued, the relationship between Lou Xiao'e and He Yuzhu would be eased.
The deaf old lady went directly to Xu Damao's house: "Xiao'e, how is Xu Damao today?"
Lou Xiao'e shook her head, still having a headache, but the deaf old lady's two words actually woke Xu Damao up.
Although Xu Damao couldn't open his eyes, he heard the voice of the deaf old lady. Xu Damao always felt that this voice was familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.
The deaf old lady looked at Lou Xiao'e and originally wanted to invite Lou Xiao'e to come over, after all, He Yuzhu didn't have to go to work for the next two days, but she didn't expect Lou Xiao'e to disagree.
The deaf old lady was not in a hurry, so she left.
But what the deaf old lady didn't know was that Xu Damao suddenly figured it out. It turned out that this voice was the same voice he heard when he was imprisoned.
Xu Damao also broke out in a cold sweat. It turned out that this person was the deaf old lady. But how did he offend the deaf old lady?
Time passed day by day, and the deaf old lady invited Lou Xiao'e to visit her several times, but after the lesson from last time, Lou Xiao'e never drank again.
Seeing that it was the fifth day of the Chinese New Year, Lou Xiaoe looked at the deaf old lady and said, "Old lady, it's almost the fifth day of the Chinese New Year. I wonder when the doctor will come."
