Chapter 653: Chapter 653 When are you planning to get married? Chapter 653: Chapter 653 When are you planning to get married? Looking at his wife’s belly, “Really pregnant?”
Thinking of his sister’s medical skills, he then chuckled, “Grandpa, I’m going to be a dad. You and grandma are going to have another great-grandson or great-granddaughter.”
Zhou Guifang smiled and said, “Today is such a good day, Yunmei, you rest. Grandma will cook. Is there anything you particularly want to eat?”
Woo Yunmei hadn’t recovered from the excitement yet, “Grandma, I don’t have any particular cravings right now, I will help pick the vegetables.”
Luo Qiao said, “Sister-in-law, I’ll help grandma, you just sit down. Right now, you’re our family’s top priority.”
Woo Yunmei laughed, “I’m not doing heavy work, just picking some veggies.”
To prevent her from throwing up again, no one dared let her into the kitchen. Instead, they brought the vegetables to a shady spot in the courtyard.
Luo Xuyan stayed with her all the while, occasionally looking at his wife’s belly and chuckling, “Yunmei, should we call your mother to tell her?”
Woo Yunmei, as she picked vegetables, said, “We’ll be going there tomorrow anyway. We can tell them then.”
Luo Xuyan nodded, “Okay, as you wish.”
When the Luo family members returned from work and learned of Woo Yunmei’s pregnancy, they all happily offered their congratulations, especially Luo Haotian, who pulled out ten Big Unity notes from his pocket, “Buy some nourishing food, don’t short-change my grandson or granddaughter.”
Woo Yunmei intended to decline, but Luo Xuyan said, “Keep it, that’s Dad’s intention.”
So Woo Yunmei graciously accepted, “Thank you, Dad.”
Two sisters-in-law took her away to impart child-rearing wisdom.
Luo Daoren saw that almost everyone had arrived and said, “There’s something I’d like to discuss with everyone. From now on, when we have big family meals, we’ll take turns hosting by household. You all don’t have objections, right?”
It wasn’t that he wanted to be petty with his sons, but Luo Qiao was just too honest. She wouldn’t take money, and over time, he was afraid they’d take it for granted.
Luo Haoxuan said, “That won’t do, the third brother will be at a disadvantage.”
Gu Hongjuan laughed, “Big Brother, it’s fine. Let’s do as Dad says. We’re all one family. There’s no need to be so precise about it.”
Luo Qiao smiled and said, “Grandpa, just have my father contribute four parts, my eldest uncle two parts, and my youngest uncle one part. Have them hand the money to you and grandma. They can contribute more when it runs out.”
Then everyone burst into laughter, Luo Haotian spoke, “I think this is a good idea. Even among brothers, accounts need to be clear.”
Big Brother seemed like he wanted to say something, but Luo Haotian interjected, “Big Brother, let’s do it the way Qiaoqiao suggested. Rules make for better relationships.”
No sooner had they settled this matter than Luo Siyan returned with Zhou Xiaomin. Luo Qiao looked up and thought she was seeing things, but upon closer inspection, there was no mistake, and what’s more, she saw it—her third brother holding Xiaomin’s hand.
Luo Siyan greeted everyone in the courtyard, “Grandpa, Grandma, I’m back.”
He introduced her to everyone, “This is Zhou Xiaomin, my girlfriend.”
Zhou Guifang smiled and stepped forward, taking Zhou Xiaomin’s hand, “This girl is truly pretty. Come on, come inside and sit.”
Thankfully, the living room was spacious enough. Luo Siyan introduced Zhou Xiaomin to everyone in the household. Though a bit shy, Zhou Xiaomin still called everyone by name.
After some pleasantries, Zhou Xiaomin and Luo Qiao began to chat quietly. The smile never left Luo Qiao’s face.
Big sister-in-law Woo Yunmei saw her little sister-in-law chatting animatedly with the future third sister-in-law and said to Luo Xuyan, “It looks like I’m about to be overshadowed as the big sister-in-law.”
Everyone around laughed at this.
Luo Qiao, with her sharp hearing, had heard and said with a laugh, “Don’t worry, I’ll give everyone equal attention.”
This remark only made the whole family laugh even harder, and a few sisters-in-law joined in, filling the room with laughter and joy.
When big sister-in-law Woo Yunmei first came to the house, the Luo family had given her a red packet with fifty yuan. Luo Qiao found a red envelope to give to Luo Haotian, who quickly slipped five Big Unity notes into it.
His recently received salary was nearly gone, but his spirits were high.
With everyone gathered, Luo Daoren called them to get ready for dinner. The meal today was almost as extravagant as a New Year’s feast, which Zhou Xiaomin hadn’t expected to be so sumptuous at the Luo family’s.
Not only did it look exquisite, but it was also delicious!
There were few mouths to feed at home for Zhou Xiaomin, with her brother serving in the army down south, leaving just her and her mother at home. With her father only able to return to their city home on weekends due to his military duties, their family was usually very quiet.
Now, seeing the bustling Luo family laughing and talking, with everyone being so kind to her, she felt envious of such an atmosphere—it was an excellent feeling.
Luo Siyan kept offering Zhou Xiaomin food with “public chopsticks,” worried she might be too shy to help herself.
Luo Qiao quietly asked Zhou Xiaomin when no one was paying attention, “When are you two planning to get married?”
Zhou Xiaomin’s face turned red instantly, glancing at Luo Siyan, “You should ask your third brother that.”
Hearing this, Luo Qiao felt reassured.
