Chapter 672: Chapter 672 Who Feels the Warmth Knows Chapter 672: Chapter 672 Who Feels the Warmth Knows At this moment, my cousin’s mother-in-law came in with her two daughters-in-law, carrying three cups of water and a plate of watermelon, and called out, “Auntie, come, have some watermelon.”
She also handed two pieces to Luo Xuyuan and Luo Qiao, “You have some too, it’s so hot today.”
After exchanging greetings, the two daughters-in-law of the Zhengda Family left and, upon seeing the things in the third sister’s room, their eyes were filled with envy.
The group chatted for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, Zhou Guifang said, “We won’t stay much longer; Jialin should be heading to work now. We’ll just take her there.”
Standing up and looking at the gift they brought, “These things are for Jialin to nourish her body. If she’s healthy, the baby inside her will grow stronger, and the other family can worry less.”
Hao Xiuyue fully understood Grandma Jialin’s intentions; this was a way of telling her not to think about these things, that they were specifically brought for their granddaughter’s health.
All sharp as tacks, Hao Xiuyue patted Zhou Guifang’s hand with a laugh, “Auntie, we’ve all been there, we understand. Having you all cherish Jialin makes us happy.”
Luo Jialin put the things away in the cupboard before closing the door and walking out with her family.
Hao Xiuyue saw them off to the front door, “Such a hot day, it really is hard on you all.”
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Zheng Family, preparing to go to work, said, “The third younger sibling is really lucky; just a few days ago, her mother came to visit, and now her grandmother and cousins are here too.”
The Second Daughter-in-law of the Zheng Family said, “This is something we can envy but never have, we should go or we’ll be late.”
Time flew, and the day before Luo Qiao’s engagement, Yang Jiancheng and his wife returned to Capital City; Luo Qiao personally went to receive them.
“Master, mistress, over here, over here!”
“Such hot weather, we told you there’s no need for you to come and pick us up.”
“How could that be, I’m your favorite disciple. This is the time to make a good impression, isn’t it?”
Feng Shumin laughed, “Good, quickly make your impression; we won’t get in your way.”
Then the three of them all burst into laughter.
Yang Jiancheng chuckled, “Let’s go, we can talk while we walk.”
“Qiaoqiao, your master was inquiring about Lu Yichen’s family before. After you get married, will you be living with your in-laws?”
“Mistress, we’re just getting engaged, marriage is still a long way off. I heard from Lu Yi before; his brother and sister-in-law live in the army’s family compound, and when his step-brother got married, they also rented a place outside. We’ll definitely live by ourselves when the time comes.”
“Oh, that’s good. Living apart can reduce friction.”
Luo Qiao knew exactly what her mistress was worried about, but she wasn’t concerned in the slightest. Since both Lu Yichen’s big brother and step-brother didn’t live with their parents, it was even less likely for them; besides, if they were to live together, it would probably be with the Gu family.
Luo Qiao had the keys to the Yang Family’s place, so she had already cleaned the house and cooked the food, which she was keeping warm in the pot. She had also chilled a watermelon in a bucket with water.
These days, taking advantage of the elder couple’s absence, some renovation was done in the yard, creating a new bathing area on the open ground next to the shed, making it more convenient for them to bathe without having to carry water back and forth anymore.
The tiles for the inside were bought by someone Lu Yichen knew, which also made it easier for them to maintain. A water tank was installed on the roof, and a water bladder was set up outside.
Now that the water pressure from the tap wasn’t enough, Luo Qiao spent a considerable sum to purchase a water pump, making it much easier for her master and mistress. Many neighbors came to see the finished project, all of them filled with envy.
The elder couple were stunned as soon as they entered the yard. Yang Jiancheng, looking at the new bathhouse, asked, “What’s all this about?”
Luo Qiao took Feng Shumin by the hand and walked her over, “This is the bathroom I had made. From now on, you won’t need to move that old tub; the drain here is already connected to the sewage system in the alley. This should make things more convenient for you.”
Yang Jiancheng and Feng Shumin felt touched; the child was truly attentive.
Yang Jiancheng hurt his back dumping the water from the bath tub last time and needed several days to recover; Luo Qiao noted this when she found out about it.
Luo Qiao carefully explained to them how to use the water tank and water bladder.
When Yang Jiancheng learned she even bought a water pump to ensure water could reach the tank and bladder, he was at a loss for words, but warmth is something only those who feel it can understand.
