Everyone took their seats again, and Zhou Guifang warmly encouraged them to eat.

Lu Yichen and Qin Haifeng, who hadn't seen each other for many years, were engaged in a heated conversation.

When the meal was almost over, Luo Wensheng finally explained their purpose: "Uncle, we came here partly to see you, but also to bring Yijia to have a check-up."

Luo Daoren's smile faded upon hearing this: "Is our niece-in-law ill?"

Luo Wensheng said, "Uncle, don't worry. We went to the hospital earlier, and they said it's kidney stones and advised drinking more water. Yijia was in a lot of pain, so I wasn't entirely at ease and figured it would be better to come to a big hospital in the Capital City for another check-up."

At this point, Cai Yijia spoke up: "The doctor said it's nothing serious, but he's overly anxious, afraid of a misdiagnosis delaying the treatment. The workplace resumes on the sixth, so this was the only time we had. We wanted to come and visit you both as well, since it's been years since we last did. Wensheng is good in every way, just a bit stubborn."

After hearing them out, Luo Daoren turned to Luo Qiao: "Qiaoqiao, what do you think about this?"

Luo Qiao replied with a smile: "Generally, if the stone is less than seven millimeters, it can be treated conservatively with medication or by drinking more water and urinating frequently. If Uncle's worried, we can do another check-up, just as part of Auntie's health examination."

Luo Wensheng nodded: "I just wanted her to have a thorough check. If there are no other issues, I'll be at ease."

Luo Daoren looked at Luo Qiao: "Qiaoqiao, do you have time tomorrow to accompany your aunt for the check-up?"

Luo Qiao agreed with a smile: "Sure, I'll go with her tomorrow."

After the meal, Qin Haifeng said it's not easy to find time to come by, and wanted to visit Old Master Gu. When he was in the military with Lu Yichen, he often followed him to the Gu house to eat and drink.

So in the afternoon, Lu Yichen took Qin Haifeng's family back to the Gu family. Old Master Gu was delighted to see Qin Haifeng and jokingly reminisced about their past experiences.

He also gave red envelopes to Qin Haifeng's children and praised their father.

After talking for a while, Old Master Gu began to feel tired. Lu Yichen settled him in, then they left the Gu family and returned to the Luo family.

The Luo family wasn't idle in the afternoon—they chatted while making dumplings.

When Lu Yichen and the others returned, the dumplings were almost ready.

Lu Yichen brought over a glass of water for Luo Qiao, who drank most of it directly from his hand due to having flour on hers.

Sitting nearby, Luo Jiayue looked at Lu Yicheng across the room: "Look at Second Brother-in-law, so considerate."

Lu Yicheng noticed the smile on Eldest Brother-in-law Zheng Zhiyuan's lips: "Hmm, Big Brother-in-law and I indeed need to learn from Second Brother-in-law."

He then laughed, dragging Big Brother-in-law into the fun.

Now Zheng Zhiyuan couldn't smile, and Luo Jialin gave him a glare.

Cousin-in-law Shang Jie admired Luo Qiao as well, with a hint of jealousy in her tone: "Yichen, see what you've done to these two brothers-in-law."

Lu Yichen looked up: "Care for your own wife; what's wrong with that?"

Xiao Ya, also not liking cousin-in-law's tone, added: "My Xuyuan is just as considerate. He always reminds me to drink more water every day. It's just become natural."

Woo Yunmei put down the wrapped dumplings: "It seems all the Luo family men are alike."

Which means Luo Xuyan does the same thing.

This put Shang Jie in an awkward spot; she looked at Luo Xudong sitting next to her in embarrassment: "You're a Luo too, why aren't you as considerate as the other brothers?"

Luo Xudong had a bad feeling earlier when his wife started talking, anticipating some trouble. See, Qiaoqiao's brothers didn't say a thing, but the sisters-in-law already protested.

He thought to himself, his wife must be picking a fight out of boredom, saying those words without censorship due to her bad mood: "If you had Qiaoqiao's abilities, I'd be just as considerate."

With these words, Shang Jie became even more embarrassed and furiously said: "Luo Xudong, what do you mean by that."
