Wu Dazhu's eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of gray. He knew better than anyone why Zhu Jiaojiao was so depressed. He had tried to comfort her before, but it didn't work very well.
Captain Huang punished her by making her carry rice rations. Wu Dazhu wanted to help her, but Zhu Jiaojiao insisted on carrying them herself, and as if torturing herself, she didn't go home when it was time to go home, but kept carrying rice rations there.
When Wu Dazhu finished work at noon today, he didn't see Zhu Jiaojiao return, so he went to look for her.
He found her carrying rice like a zombie, and she wouldn't respond when he called to her. Wu Dazhu went over to check and realized that she was sick.
Duole rode Huajuan from the inner room. As soon as he saw Yu Rujia, he quickly dismounted and jumped into Yu Rujia's arms, nuzzling her affectionately.
The little one pleaded sweetly, "Mom, can I have an ice cream?"
August is the hottest time of the year, and in this kind of weather, what you crave most is something icy cold.
Duofu and his family are now not only good at cooking, but also at making desserts and iced drinks. Most of the time, the ice bucket in their house that holds vegetarian food is used to store ice cream, iced drinks and other frozen treats.
Yu Rujia picked up the little boy and, with a gentle expression, ruthlessly rejected his request: "No, it's almost lunchtime. If you eat ice cream now, you won't be able to eat your meal."
Du Le stretched out her chubby little hand and touched her tummy, her round face full of anticipation: "Mom, my tummy is big, I can eat lots and lots of things, can you let me have one?"
Yu Rujia: "No, you can't."
After being rejected again, Du Le knew that his mother would definitely not let him eat ice cream now.
As if all the strength had been drained from him, his chubby little body collapsed into Yu Rujia's arms, his chin resting on her shoulder, making his fair and tender little face look even rounder and cuter.
Zhu Jiaojiao, who had regained some consciousness, saw this scene and a hint of envy flashed in her eyes.
Wu Dazhu, who had been watching her closely, didn't miss this scene. He thought for a moment and forced a stiff smile: "Yu Zhiqing, is this your Duole? She looks so lucky."
Yu Rujia turned Duole's little body around so that he was facing the Wu couple: "That's right, Duole, call them Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu."
Duole, a polite little boy, immediately flashed a bright smile, revealing his neat little teeth, and said in a childish voice, "Uncle Wu, Aunt Wu."
Fair-skinned and adorable little children are the easiest to touch people's hearts.
Zhu Jiaojiao was no exception: "Oh, Duole is such a good boy, come here, let Auntie hug you."
Yu Rujia: "This boy is heavy, and your wife isn't feeling well yet, so we shouldn't let him tire her out."
After being punished, Zhu Jiaojiao spoke up for the first time, and Wu Dazhu couldn't bear to see her hopes dashed.
Wu Dazhu eagerly opened his arms: "I'm perfectly healthy, can I hug Duo Le?"
Duole turned to Yu Rujia for instructions.
Yu Rujia nodded and said, "Duole, be good, let Uncle Wu hold you for a bit."
Duole opened his little arms and rushed into Wu Dazhu's arms. Although he didn't like strangers holding him, and although the aunt next to this uncle smelled bad, he was a good baby who listened to his mother and was willing to suffer a little bit.
I'll ask Mom to buy him an ice cream to make up for his hurt feelings.
No one knows what Du Le is thinking.
Wu Dazhu successfully picked up the chubby boy and happily moved him in front of Zhu Jiaojiao: "Look, what a well-behaved child."
Du Le cooperated by showing a soft, smiling face.
Zhu Jiaojiao couldn't help but touch his smooth little face and said enviously, "That's great. If Xiao Jie had gotten married earlier, his child would be this big by now."
Wu Dazhu: "When we get back, we'll introduce Xiao Jie to potential partners, and we can have a child next year."
Yu Rujia was willing to use Duole to wake Zhu Jiaojiao up, but she didn't want her child to suffer too much, so she interrupted their discussion after they had exchanged a few words.
Yu Rujia: "Sister-in-law Zhu needs more rest. Comrade Wu, please take her home and let her rest properly."
Wu Dazhu reluctantly put down the Duole: "We should go back and cook now. Thank you, Yu Zhiqing."
After seeing the Wu couple off, Duole's forced smile vanished instantly, and she clung to Yu Rujia's lap with a pitiful expression, softly revealing her purpose.
Duole: "Mom, it smells bad. Duole wants ice cream to replenish his energy."
The little guy didn't show any unusual behavior in front of Zhu Jiaojiao just now, but now he's complaining to Yu Rujia. He's showing signs of being a drama queen at such a young age.
However, the little bun had indeed suffered, and Yu Rujia felt that he should be praised, so she picked up the little guy and walked to the backyard.
Yu Rujia: "Okay, here's an ice cream for you. Let's go wash our hands and eat first. You can have the ice cream after we eat."
With Duole's eye-catching appeal, Wu Dazhu felt he had found a way to make Zhu Jiaojiao happy. When Wu Xinjie came home from get off work in the evening, he told him to go on a blind date or find a partner to bring home.
Wu Xinjie looked miserable. It wasn't that he didn't want to find someone; it was just that the women around him wouldn't be interested in him because of his size.
Wu Dazhu: "If you can't find one, offer more betrothal gifts and find a good wife from the countryside."
There's no need to care about her son's feelings; what he cares about now is his grandson. Zhu Jiaojiao is happy as long as he has a grandson.
Wu Xinjie is a worker, and even though he is short, he is still a high-quality marriage prospect in the countryside.
They used to think that since Wu Xinjie was a worker, it would be better for him to marry a worker. But now that Zhu Jiaojiao has this problem, they don't want to wait any longer.
Wu Xinjie: "Let me sort it out again."
Wu Dazhu: "You know your mother's current situation. So many days have passed, and she only spoke after seeing Duole from Yu Zhiqing's family. But she's back to this state since she came back."
"Only her grandson can cure her illness now. I'll give you a month at most. If you haven't brought your partner back by then, I'll ask a matchmaker to arrange a blind date for you."
Two days later, Zhou Likang limped into the Yu family home. Judging from his appearance, he had been beaten, and was even more badly injured than Wu Xinjie had been a few days earlier.
Zhou Likang said with a long face, "Yu Zhiqing, could you please get some medicine for sprains and bruises?"
Yu Rujia didn't care about his attitude. After being beaten like that, how could he still smile? As long as the money wasn't less than hers, it didn't matter whether he came to make a deal with her with a crying face or a smiling face.
Yu Rujia handed him a bottle of medicine and, fulfilling her duty as a doctor, asked, "Don't you need me to take a look at you?"
Zhou Likang: "No need, thank you, Yu Zhiqing."
During dinner that evening, Duo Shou enthusiastically recounted his discovery.
Duo Shou: "I heard from Brother Sanhu that before Zhou Zhiqing came out injured, several people who were close to Brother Wu came out first. This must have been done by Brother Wu. If he had used this method last time, he wouldn't have been beaten up for nothing."
