Chapter 1248: Chapter 1250: Showing off Happiness

Tiong Shulan held Xiao Yu and smiled at Luo Qiao: “Jiaxing, go help Qiaoqiao carry the things, didn’t you see Qiaoqiao is jealous?”

Yuan Jiaxing, upon his mother’s instructions, responded: “Understood.”

Smiling, he went over to take the things from Luo Qiao’s hands: “Qiaoqiao, as long as you’re used to it, now the younger you are in our family, the more you are pampered.”

On the side, Yuan Jianing joked: “Fifth brother, it’s as if you’ve been pampered before.”

Everyone still in the courtyard burst out laughing.

Yuan Jiaxing carried the things: “I misspoke, alright, I really haven’t been pampered.”

Upon entering the house, they saw a group of adults surrounding several children, chatting and laughing.

Old Master Yuan saw Luo Qiao enter and waved to her: “How long can you stay this time?”

“After the Lantern Festival, I’ll leave.”

Old Master Yuan nodded: “Another year, it’s coming soon.”

Luo Qiao nodded slightly: “Yes, time flies very fast, it’s already been two years.”

The two chatted for a while, and Luo Qiao smiled: “Grandpa Yuan, let me take your pulse again.”

Old Master Yuan smiled gently and stretched out his arm: “Getting old, if I can avoid causing trouble for the family, that would be fortunate enough.”

After taking his pulse, Luo Qiao withdrew her hand: “Continue with the medicinal diet for a while longer, to expel the dampness from your body.”

Seeing Old Master Yuan frowning, she thought for a moment and then said: “If you don’t want a medicinal diet, you could also use some Xiangsha Weiling Pill, rest more, and I’ll write a prescription for you to go through a course of treatment.”

Old Master Yuan smiled: “You arrange it.”

Luo Qiao looked at Uncle Yuan Weizhou standing on the side: “Uncle, I’ll go with you to the study to write the prescription.”

Yuan Weizhou nodded: “Okay.”

Luo Qiao stood up: “Grandpa Yuan, you sit first, I’ll go to the study with Uncle to write the prescription.”

After entering the study, Yuan Weizhou looked at Luo Qiao: “Qiaoqiao, how is the old master’s health?”

Luo Qiao took the paper and pen passed by Yuan Weizhou: “As people age, all their bodily functions decline, it’s best that Grandpa Yuan’s food be softer, and also, he should not be left alone from now on.”

Quickly writing a prescription: “Uncle, follow this prescription to get the medicine, let Grandpa Yuan drink it for a course.”

Yuan Weizhou also knew that his father was getting on in years, and this was inevitable.

When Yuan Jianing saw Luo Qiao coming out of the study, she asked: “How is it, Grandpa is okay, right?”

“There’s nothing serious, but after all, his age is there, no matter how well he’s taken care of, the decline in bodily functions is inevitable.”

“That’s true, I also noticed Grandpa was not as spirited as before, that’s why I said that once you were here, remember to take his pulse again.”

“You mentioned that you have some secret to tell me, right?”

Yuan Jianing became somewhat bashful, and said softly: “I’m pregnant.”

“How many months?”

“More than two months, Mingrui did not let me tell others, he said to wait until after three months.”

“Stretch out your hand, let me check for you.”

Yuan Jianing obediently complied, and without waiting for Luo Qiao to withdraw her hand, she asked: “How is it?”

“Both you and the baby are well, but still, you cannot be careless, you must not eat recklessly.”

“Um, I know, Mingrui is quite strict.”

“That’s because you are rather careless, how could your brother-in-law not be careful? Stop flaunting your happiness here.”

Song Huizhen came over: “What are you two sisters whispering about here?”

Luo Qiao joked: “Sister Jianing is showing off her happiness here.”

Song Huizhen laughed: “I washed some fruits, you two come over and have some.”

Just as Song Huizhen was about to turn around to leave, she suddenly clutched at her waist, unable to move.

Luo Qiao quickly walked over: “Aunt, what’s wrong?”

Song Huizhen endured the pain: “My back was immovable before the new year, the doctor said it’s a herniated lumbar disc, it got better after a few days of rest, might have overexerted these few days.”

Luo Qiao quickly helped her sit down on the side and conducted a brief examination.

Yuan Jianing brought over the medical images taken before the new year, Luo Qiao reviewed the previous images, then directed her third brother Yuan Jiaming: “Third brother, carry aunt back to her room.”

Luo Qiao followed back into the room, asked her to lie flat on the bed, the current beds were all hardwood, the mattress also not too thick, so there was no need to specifically remove the mattress, instructed to elevate the legs, and ordered third brother Yuan Jiaming to move a quilt to prop under her legs.
