Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Page 411

They can produce their own tractors and motorized tricycles, making farm work much easier.

He Yuzhu talked as he walked, and Lü Xiaomi followed closely behind, taking notes.

She had been blaming He Yuzhu in her heart for a long time. It would have been so much better to sit in the office, but instead she came out to bask in the sun.

Lost in thought, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my foot.

"Ouch!" Lü Xiaomi cried out in pain, then her body swayed and she sat down on the ground with a thud.

"what happened?"

He Yuzhu stopped, turned around, and squatted down in front of him.

Tears streamed down Lü Xiaomi's delicate face from the pain, her pretty face contorted in agony as she clutched her ankle with both hands.

He Yuzhu squatted down in front of him and said, "How about I take a look for you?"

Lu Xiaomi hesitated for a moment, then nodded and released her hands.

He Yuzhu held his calf with one hand and untied his shoelaces with the other, gently taking off his shoes.

He said, "Your feet are all swollen."

Lü Xiaomi asked, "Then what should we do?"

"There's no other way here; the only option is to go back to the factory clinic and apply the medicine."

"Oh, but how can I go back now?"

As Lü Xiaomi spoke, she still felt the pain, and tears kept flowing.

He Yuzhu looked around and saw that there was no one around. He said, "Let me help you to the shade of a tree to rest for a while, and then we'll see if you can walk back."

"Alright, thank you for your trouble," Lü Xiaomi said, looking aggrieved.

"Don't mention it, it's nothing."

Holding onto Lü Xiaomi's arm, she hopped on one foot with great difficulty to reach the shade of the tree and found a relatively clean stone to sit on.

Looking at her swollen feet and ankles, Lü Xiaomi's tears fell again.

He Yuzhu then realized that Lü Xiaomi was actually made of water, and her tears never stopped.

After waiting for a while, He Yuzhu asked, "Are you feeling better?"

Lü Xiaomi tried to move her ankle a little, looking at him pitifully and saying, "It still hurts."

He Yuzhu said, "That's a bit of a problem. It's a long way back to the factory from here, and the road isn't good either."

The roads here are all dirt roads, and they're in the middle of farmland, so they're full of potholes and can barely be walked on.

Having witnessed the hardships of the journey, Lü Xiaomi asked, "Then what should we do?"

He Yuzhu hesitated for a moment and asked, "How about I carry you back?"

"this..."

Lü Xiaomi hesitated. Ever since becoming He Yuzhu's secretary, she had been deliberately keeping her distance from him.

So far, the two have not had any physical contact.

If I make him carry it, wouldn't that be incredibly embarrassing?

"Let's forget about it then, and wait a little longer."

He Yuzhu also felt that he had plenty of women, so why bother getting involved with Lü Xiaomi? Besides, it would be difficult to explain later.

After all, Lü Xiaomi's father is a leader in the neighborhood, and they often meet. If this gets out of hand, it will be too embarrassing.

He Yuzhu sat on a rock next to her and talked for a while, but she was fidgeting and looked restless.

"what happened?"

"I...I need to go to the toilet."

Lü Xiaomi had been holding it in for a long time and needed to go to the toilet to urinate.

But in this environment, it was just the two of them, He Yuzhu and I, and I was too embarrassed to speak up.

Hearing He Yuzhu's question, she blushed and finally spoke.

"Why didn't you say so sooner? Look at you, you've been holding it in for so long!"

As He Yuzhu spoke, he tried to walk away, leaving the space to her.

Lü Xiaomi called out, "Hey, come back."

He Yuzhu turned his head and looked at her with some confusion.

Lu Xiaomi said shyly, "Help me down." Then she pointed to a dry ditch next to her.

It means that He Yuzhu should take her to the bottom of the ditch.

"Yes, yes, it's better down there. You can just squat down."

Lu Xiaomi, who was already shy, blushed completely, like a ripe apple.

He Yuzhu supported her arm and helped her down the slope. If it were flat ground, hopping on one foot would be fine, but it was a downhill slope. After Lü Xiaomi jumped up, she lost her footing and slid down the slope.

"oops!"

He Yuzhu reacted quickly, reaching out and scooping Lü Xiaomi into his arms in a princess carry, preventing her from falling to the ground.

Lü Xiaomi instinctively hugged He Yuzhu's neck, her body trembling with fear.

He Yuzhu didn't ask any questions, and just carried her down to the bottom of the ditch before putting her down.

Then he climbed out of the ditch and walked to a distance.

After waiting for a while and hearing no more footsteps, Lü Xiaomi gritted her teeth, struggled for a moment, and finally reached out to undo her belt and squatted down.

After holding it in for so long, she finally got her release.

After fastening her belt, Lü Xiaomi was worried again, looking at the obvious water stain and the little bit of toilet paper she had used. She knew she would soon need He Yuzhu to help her up.

When he sees these things, he'll be really embarrassed.

But there was nothing we could do; there was no one else around.

After hesitating for a long time, he still called He Yuzhu over.

He Yuzhu glanced at the ground, then didn't say much, only asking, "This uphill is difficult, let me carry you up."

After thinking for a while, Lü Xiaomi replied softly, "Okay, thank you."

Chapter 298

The sound was so faint that it was almost inaudible if He Yuzhu hadn't been so sharp-eyed.

He Yuzhu walked to her side and slowly put one arm around her shoulder.

Although Lü Xiaomi was very shy, she still raised her hands and wrapped them around He Yuzhu's neck, too shy to look at him.

He Yuzhu bent down and picked her up, then walked up step by step.

At this moment, Lü Xiaomi noticed something was wrong: He Yuzhu was carrying a stick.

Although Lü Xiaomi was still young, she knew a lot of things, including how the stick came to be.

She was so ashamed that she wished a crack would appear in the ground so she could jump in.

As soon as she came up from below, Lü Xiaomi struggled to get out of He Yuzhu's arms and sat on the rock for a long time without saying a word.

He Yuzhu asked, "Can you walk on flat ground?"

Lü Xiaomi shook her head and said, "It hurts."

He Yuzhu asked, "Dragging this out isn't a solution. Why don't I just keep it to myself?"

Lu Xiaomi looked at her feet, which were still swollen and thick. It was no use dragging this on any longer. It seemed that the only option was for He Yuzhu to carry her back.

"Okay, please carry me back."

He Yuzhu bent down, letting Lü Xiaomi come up from behind, then crossed his arms and lifted her up slightly.

Lu Xiaomi didn't hold on tight enough and slid up and down on He Yuzhu's back a few times, making her chest feel uncomfortable.

He Yuzhu noticed this and felt a little embarrassed, so he stopped moving and carried Lü Xiaomi back.

Finally, Lü Xiaomi left the farmland and soon arrived at the main road.

Although it's still a dirt road, it's much wider now, and you can ride a bicycle there.

Lü Xiaomi quickly said, "Put me down, and go back to get a bicycle to push me, okay?"

"That's fine, people will gossip if we go straight back."

He Yuzhu put Lü Xiaomi down by the roadside. Lü Xiaomi leaned against a tree trunk and saw that He Yuzhu's forehead was covered in sweat. After hesitating for a moment, she took out the handkerchief in her hand to wipe it for him.

He Yuzhu was stunned, not expecting this service, and let Lü Xiaomi wipe her sweat.

Lu Xiaomi's pretty face gradually turned red, but since things had already started, she couldn't give up halfway. Fortunately, the sweat on her forehead was quickly wiped away.

Lü Xiaomi scolded, "Aren't you going to hurry back and get your bicycle?"

He Yuzhu finally came to his senses, agreed, and quickly ran back.
