Chapter 295 Xu Damao asks for help
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Miss Xue sent the third child to the airport again.
Mother and son have a deep love, and they say goodbye reluctantly.
Thanks to the development of modern science and technology, even if we are thousands of miles apart, there will not be the sadness of parting like in ancient times.
Another two and a half months passed.
November 22nd, light snow.
Today is Sunday, so the beasts are resting at home.
Silly Pillar is an exception.
After all, he is a chef. If he also rests at home, what will the guests eat?
Half past nine in the morning.
Miss Xue is at home, concentrating on teaching the fourth child to play the piano.
It's not to cultivate him in an artistic direction, but to interact with mother and son to pass the time.
As for Chen Tao, the male host, he had nothing to do, just watch TV in the study room.
The temperature was low today, so he didn't go fishing to avoid another "air force".
But Banggeng didn't care. After wearing an extra sweater, he went out with his fishing gear.
For him now, fishing is more about “catching” than the fish itself.
Therefore, the fun he got was more pure than that of another fisherman Yan Bugui.
backyard.
House of Sisters.
When Qin Huairu knocked on the door, Xiaodang and Huaihua were not awake yet.
The two of them stayed up late last night discussing who would give birth to the child.
Yes, Chen Tao has promised to take them to give birth abroad next year.
But the problem is that they cannot be pregnant at the same time, and they will be scored in order.
There are advantages to this. For example, if Xiaodang is born first, Huaihua can take care of her.
As for who should go first and who should go last, Chen Tao had not made up his mind and wanted them to decide on their own.
So, the Jia sisters, who both wanted to be the first to have a child, discussed it all night.
Xiaodang's argument was that she was older and had to have children earlier; Huaihua's argument was that she was the younger sister, and the older sister should let her younger sister go.
Xiaodang retorted, saying that he had agreed to let you be his assistant, which was considered a concession.
Huaihua retorted, saying that when she persuaded Grandpa He to agree to let you be his little wife, she was already returning a favor.
Xiaodang immediately explained that he was the one who came first, but for your own good, he made you take the initiative to become Grandpa He's little wife by saying those words.
Huaihua was very surprised, but then expressed disbelief. Anyway, she was Grandpa He's second wife, and her sister could only be the third at best.
Of course there is no exception when it comes to who gives birth to the child.
It is estimated that Chen Tao will have to make the decision in the end.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Sophora japonica asked, wearing pajamas and yawning sleepily.
"You girl! Do I have to come to you for something?"
Qin Huairu pretended to be unhappy.
if not? You use people to face the front, not the back. Who can't understand?
Huaihua cursed in her heart and let her mother into the house.
After chatting for a while, Qin Huairu revealed the purpose of coming.
"Huaihua, your second uncle and grandpa died last night. We have to go back to mourn."
Xiaodang brought a cup of hot tea, walked over and asked, "When will you go back?"
Qin Huairu smiled flatteringly and said, "You two can drive whenever you want. Mom will listen to you."
Xiaodang did not refuse, but was a little embarrassed:
"I only drive one car, so I'm afraid you might have to squeeze in."
Qin Huairu didn't care: "It's okay to squeeze in! It's also crowded when taking the bus. It's not convenient to take your car."
You didn’t have the pleasure of riding in our car, did you?
Xiaodang smiled and said, "Then you go back and clean up first! Sophora japonica and I need to take a bath and dress up. We can't embarrass you."
Qin Huairu responded, but secretly dissatisfied——
How can I be your mother in your white-eyed wolf eyes?
Are you still afraid of losing face to me?
Are you just afraid of losing He Laogou's face?
If you have breasts, you are a mother. I don’t know who I learned this from!
Ten forty.
Huaihua drove her family back home in fine clothes.
Xiaodang was sitting in the passenger seat, while Shazhu, Qin Huairu, Banggan, and Widow Xiaoqin were crowded in the back seat.
The gray-haired Jia Zhang did not go back with her, but stayed to look after the family.
As for the children of Widow Xiao Qin, they are all farming in the countryside, do not live in the compound, and will not go to funerals.
Looking out the window at the scenery that kept retreating, Widow Xiao Qin sighed inwardly.
Over the years, she had also worked for Xiaodang and Huaihua. Unfortunately, these two sisters-in-law were so unkind that they didn't even want to talk to her.
This made her angry, annoyed, and helpless.
Her appetite increased, and she felt that eating out the Jia family was just to save capital, and she had to let these two sisters-in-law, and even Chen Tao, take care of her three children.
Unfortunately, this was just a daydream she had.
Even Qin Huairu couldn't do it, how could she, a little Qin widow, still want to do it?

afternoon.
backyard.
Liu Haizhong went out to use the toilet and happened to meet Xu Damao who was coming back from outside.
In his hand, he was holding several gift boxes, as if he was giving gifts to someone.
"Da Mao, do you want to give a gift?"
Liu Haizhong couldn't help but wonder.
"no."
Xu Damao replied coldly and stopped talking to Liu Haizhong.
He has made up his mind to ask Chen Tao for help tonight.
Therefore, before that, he will never reveal any information to avoid being destroyed by the beasts
But now, he had to go home to organize his words, brew up his emotions, and try to impress Chen Tao.
Seeing Xu Damao going home without even speaking to him, Liu Haizhong suddenly felt very dissatisfied.
But now he has no money and no power. Who can be frightened by the title of an unassuming steward?
Especially Xu Damao.
He was the team leader back then, but Xu Damao still fought against him, let alone now?
"well……"
Liu Haizhong let out a long sigh and regretted starting the smuggling business.
"Old Liu, why are you sighing? I'll play chess with you."
Yan Bugui came over.
"Okay, let me go to the toilet first."
Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui have something in common when it comes to children.
It's just right to play chess and chat at the same time.
As for Yi Zhonghai, they had nothing to talk about.
Although he had had children and had relevant experience, this matter was a big scar in his heart. Every time he mentioned it, it was like opening a scar, which was extremely uncomfortable.
Therefore, his relationship with Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui has not substantially improved.
***
Evening, half past seven.
After Miss Xue had dinner and washed the pots and dishes, she watched TV dramas in the bedroom.
Chen Tao stayed by his side.
He has basically no impression of these old and less famous TV series.
As for those particularly classic ones, such as "Big Time" on Hong Kong Island, and "The Legend of White Snake" which has been broadcast but will be introduced early next year, he was deeply impressed.
When the episode was over, there was a knock on the door outside.
Chen Tao went to open the door and saw Xu Damao coming with a gift box, and couldn't help but curiously said:
"Da Mao, what are you...?"
Xu Damao smiled and said: "Uncle He, I have something to ask you for help."
Chen Tao let him in first, then sat on the sofa and asked:
"You are doing so well now, why do you still need my help?"
Xu Damao was about to speak, but Miss Xue came over, so he hesitated.
Chen Tao smiled and said, "Is there anything you have to say that you still can't let Aunt Xue listen to? Tell her and ask her to give you some advice."
Xu Damao was worried and simply got up from the sofa, knelt on the ground and said:
"Uncle He, Aunt Xue, I know I didn't learn well before, which made you very annoying. But please, sir, give me a chance to change my ways."
Seeing him acting like this and saying these words, Miss Xue was shocked at first, and then advised:
"If you have something to say, just say it properly and don't kneel down! Your Uncle He and I can't stand your kneeling."
Xu Damao struck while the iron was hot: "Aunt Xue, you are kind-hearted. Please help me. I kowtow to you."
As he spoke, he kowtowed several times.
Miss Xue quickly got out of the way.
At this time, even Chen Tao couldn't help but wonder, what happened to Silly Mao?
You're all right, why do you act like you recognize your father and your mother?
So he couldn't help but ask:
"Don't kowtow first, tell me what's wrong with you first? Don't let us blame you again if we can't help you."
Xu Damao then explained: "Some time ago, I read the news and said that foreign countries have new IVF technology. I have also saved some money in the past few years, so I thought about going out for treatment. But it doesn't matter if I am abroad. In order to avoid being deceived, I would like to ask you, Uncle He, to show me the way. Regardless of whether I can succeed in the end, I will thank you and Aunt Xue for the rest of my life."
Upon hearing this, Chen Tao and Miss Xue were both very surprised.
Chen Tao asked: "Do you already have a wife now?"
Xu Damao did not hide anything: "In order to do this, I found a daughter-in-law. She is twenty-eight years old and is a country widow. Because she has no children, her husband's family treats her very badly and hopes that she will remarry quickly. I confessed to her In my case, she agreed to marry me and accompany me to go abroad for IVF.”
After hearing these words, Miss Xue felt like listening to a story, it was really unbelievable.
But Chen Tao already believed it: "Of course I can help with this, but you have to convince Aunt Xue and Xiao'e first."
In fact, Lou Xiao'e is a very soft-hearted person.
In this world, Xu Damao didn't backstab her family, so it was easy for her to handle it.
Xu Damao also understood this, so he moved his knees and kowtowed to Miss Xue again:
"Aunt Xue, please! I will definitely change my mind and be a new person in the future, please!"
He kowtows whenever he disagrees. Miss Xue was simply afraid of him and said to him quickly:
"Come to the study with me and call Xiao'e. As long as she doesn't object, I'll let your Uncle He help."
Xu Damao was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately got up and followed Miss Xue to the study.
He knew very well that Uncle He and Aunt Xue didn't care about the gifts he gave, only his attitude.
So in order to achieve his goal, he did not hesitate to endure the humiliation... It was not considered humiliation, because Uncle He and Aunt Xue were elders, and it was nothing to kowtow to them.
Looking at Xu Damao's back, Chen Tao remembered the scene in the original play where he was desperate and finally returned to the compound to kneel down to Silly Zhu and others, begging for forgiveness.
This silly Mao... Chen Tao thought of his changes in the past few years again, and he couldn't help but look forward to it.
Although he is old and has a low success rate, he is the protagonist after all and has some luck. If he really has a biological child, what will happen to him?
How will the birds in the compound react?
five minutes later.
"Uncle He! Ezi agreed!"
Xu Damao came out of the study and shouted happily.
