Chapter 1842: Chapter 1842: Extra Story IV
Today is the Luo Family gathering day. The elderly couple got up early and were getting ready when they heard a knock on the door.
Zhou Guifang opened the door and saw Luo Haoxuan and his wife, along with Luo Haotian and his wife, standing outside: "Why are you back so early?"
Song Shiya smiled at her mother-in-law: "Mom, if we don’t come back early, you and Dad would have finished all the work yourselves."
Everyone laughed at this remark.
Zhou Guifang quickly stepped aside: "Come in quickly. Your dad and I are getting older, waking up early with nothing to do, so we have to find something to do."
Gu Qianru put the things she was carrying in the yard: "Dad, Mom, we’ve discussed among ourselves. From now on, each family will take turns coming back to accompany you. Since Uncle and Auntie haven’t retired yet, it’ll just be Big Brother, Big Sister-in-law, and us taking turns for now."
At this moment, the eldest, Luo Haoxuan, also chimed in: "Dad, Mom, don’t refuse. We suggested hiring a housekeeper, but you didn’t agree, saying it’s uncomfortable to have outsiders at home. The kids are all busy now, and since we’re retired, it’s nice to come and keep you company."
The Luo’s Elderly Couple knew their intentions well, and Luo Daoren smiled and said: "Do as you see fit."
So it was settled. Regardless of who comes or goes, Luo Haoxuan and his wife, along with Luo Haotian and his wife, take turns once a week, until Luo Haoqing and his wife join after their retirement, making it a ten-day rotation. Of course, that’s later down the road.
They didn’t get idle long after they arrived. Song Shiya and Gu Qianru were busy in the kitchen preparing food, while Luo Haoxuan and Luo Haotian tidied up upstairs and downstairs, and also cleaned the yard.
In fact, there wasn’t much dust at home, but it had already become a habit.
By 10 AM, the third child’s couple also arrived, carrying a good amount of cooked dishes and various cakes: "We’re back."
Zhou Guifang said: "Oh, you bought cooked food. Your sister-in-law made a pot of braised dishes early this morning."
Gu Hongjuan laughed: "No worries, we have more people, there’s strength in numbers. This bit of food in my hands can be devoured quickly by everyone."
Then laughter erupted in the yard.
Neighbors who passed by outside and heard the laughter envied: "Is it Luo Family’s gathering day again today? That laughter is truly enviable."
"Indeed, the eldest and second son with their wives returned early in the morning, fearing the elderly couple would exert themselves too much."
"Look at the prosperity of the Luo Family; every family around here envies them. Their children and grandchildren are all capable, and the great-grandchildren excel academically, all getting into good universities, which truly is enviable."
Afterwards, the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of the Luo Family gradually returned. No wonder Luo Haoxuan and Luo Haotian couldn’t bear to let the elderly couple live alone. With even the great-grandchildren having started working, who could be at ease with them living alone?
This was the result of Luo Qiao’s special ability upgrade helping to adjust things, but it only slowed aging without escaping the natural laws of life, aging, illness, and death.
Today’s gathering was different from the usual, as Luo Penghao, Luo Pengyun, and Luo Zitong all brought their partners back. They had already set their wedding dates, but this was their first time attending the family gathering.
Previously, the family had been urging these three regarding their marriages in all sorts of ways, and now, it’s all finally settled.
But now that they’ve settled down, the focus of the family’s marriage urgings has shifted to the next batch, making today another day of matchmaking pushes, haha!
The food was set on the table, and Luo Daoren spoke: "Come, let’s raise a glass. No matter when, always remember, a harmonious family brings prosperity."
