"Ha ha!"

Hearing Lu He's happy laughter, it was clear that they were having a good chat.

Liu Xinlan looked at Lu Chen with a smile.

Shen Qiaoyue, supporting Qin Haishi, raised her voice and said, "Grandma, slow down."

Qin Haishi spent the day playing with the young people. She was very happy, but also very tired.

"Lu He?" Liu Xinlan called out as well.

"They're here." Lu He came out of the kitchen and saw that everyone had returned. "Brother, sister-in-law, Xinlan, Grandma, it's almost time to eat. Have some water first."

Lu He jogged into the living room to pour water for the group.

Xu Feiming was cooking in the kitchen.

"We heard you chatting as soon as we came in from outside. Is something happy happening?" Liu Xinlan asked Lu He with a curious expression.

As Lu He poured water, she said, "Let's talk about some interesting things that happened at the hospital."

Lu Chen didn't speak, and helped Qin Haishi sit down.

"What are we having for dinner tonight?" Shen Qiaoyue asked.

"We'll eat dumplings, pickled radish salad, and the shrimp we bought this morning that we didn't finish cooking, so we'll have shrimp later, pork ribs stewed with potatoes, and what's that called..." Lu He couldn't remember for a moment.

"Candied sweet potatoes, take these out of the pan last, because they won't stick when they're cold!" Xu Feiming responded from the kitchen.

“Yes, yes, it’s so sweet it touches your heart, that’s what Fei Ming said.” Lu He repeated what Xu Fei Ming had said to them.

"Then I'll help too." Lu Chen went into the kitchen to wash his hands and start helping.

After washing his hands, Lu Chen asked, "What do I need to do?"

"Just find me some sugar, that'll be the last dish. We'll be eating soon, and the dumplings can be cooked." Xu Feiming worked methodically while responding to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen listened to Xu Feiming's words, took out white sugar, and then put the dumplings into the pot to cook.

Lu Chen also took the time to observe Xu Feiming's cooking techniques; they were quick, skillful, and looked delicious.

"Brother Fei Ming is very skilled at cooking. Does he cook often?" Lu Chen asked with interest.

Xu Feiming said with a smile, "When I was a child, I often cooked for myself, and I also had to cook for myself when I went out on missions in the army."

"Look how good Fei Ming's cooking is!" Lu Chen was genuinely interested, because his own cooking wasn't very good.

"It's alright," Xu Feiming replied modestly.

“Brother, Fei Ming’s cooking is delicious. You can learn from him,” Lu He said to Lu Chen as soon as she came in.

After hearing this, Lu Chen asked Lu He with a stern face, "What, are you starting to dislike your brother now?"

"I didn't mean anything, I was just suggesting something. Brother, you're going to live with your wife for the rest of your life. You can't keep eating the same dishes you make for the New Year and the Lunar New Year. Your cooking skills need to improve, so you need a good chef."

Lu Chen didn't like what he was hearing and looked at Lu He, saying, "What are you saying? I'm so busy every day, where would I find the time to cook?"

"Yes, yes, I have time to think about my wife." Lu He nodded seriously, refuting Lu Chen's words.

"Hey~" Lu Chen watched as Lu He grew bolder and bolder, even starting to tease his older brother.

Xu Feiming thought the relationship between Lu He and Lu Chen, the brother and sister, was really good.

“It’s alright, we can learn from each other when we have time,” Xu Feiming said to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen didn't stand on ceremony and nodded, saying, "Okay, I'll learn from you when I have time."

Xu Feiming didn't say anything. Lu silently took out the cooked dumplings and prepared vinegar, soy sauce, and chili sauce. It was almost time to eat.

After Xu Feiming finished making the candied sweet potatoes, everyone sat down to eat together, and Lu He ate a lot of the candied sweet potatoes.

Seeing that Lu He loved sweets so much, Shen Qiaoyue and Liu Xinlan each only ate a few bites, leaving the rest for Lu He.

I noticed that Xu Feiming and Lu He communicated very easily and talked a lot.

After dinner, Shen Qiaoyue and Liu Xinlan helped Qin Haishi to bed.

Lu Chen looked at the two people in the kitchen, chatting so happily, and still found it hard to get used to.

When Shen Qiaoyue came out to pour the water she had used to wipe Qin Haishi's body, she saw Lu Chen secretly observing the two people in the kitchen.

Lu Chen realized that Shen Qiaoyue had seen what he was doing, and he awkwardly scratched his head.

Shen Qiaoyue poured water into the washroom and washed the basin.

"Go boil some water quickly, take a bath early, it will be even colder at night." Shen Qiaoyue knew that Lu Chen wanted to go in but was too embarrassed to do so, so she gave Lu Chen a way out.

"Brother, don't rush to take a bath. I'll spar with Fei Ming later." Lu He still remembered this.

Lu Chen and Xu Feiming exchanged a glance.

Good grief, they've really gotten started.

Lu Chen's competitive spirit was immediately aroused.

“Sure, we can have a friendly spar after dinner,” Lu Chen replied with a smile.

"Then wait a bit, after I finish washing up, let's go to the training ground outside to practice and exchange a few moves." Xu Feiming could already sense the competitive spirit in Lu Chen's eyes.

In combat, men generally enjoy having a winner and a loser.

Shen Qiaoyue and Liu Xinlan exchanged a glance; it seemed they were about to have a fight.

Upon arriving at the training ground, Shen Qiaoyue saw that Lu Chen had already entered battle mode.

"Let's make a bet, who will win?" Liu Xinlan asked Shen Qiaoyue, who was watching the excitement from the sidelines.

Shen Qiaoyue pinched her chin and said, "It's definitely Lu Chenying."

"Why are you so sure?" Liu Xinlan asked, looking at Shen Qiaoyue's unwavering confidence in Lu Chen.

Shen Qiaoyue smiled and said, "Of course, he is my husband, and I trust him."

Liu Xinlan nodded. What she said made sense, but she also wanted to know who was more capable between the two.

"I'll call 'start' before we start again," Lu He said, acting as referee.

Xu Feiming and Lu Chen have already entered battle mode.

Seeing that they were all ready, Lu He began to shout, "One, two, three, begin!"

As soon as Lu He shouted "start," he felt a gust of wind blow past him.

The two men got up and threw punches very quickly.

This is a perfect example of one being soft and the other hard. Lu Chen is the one who attacks with heavy blows, while Xu Feiming is in a defensive stance, using softness to overcome hardness.

The outcome was quickly decided, and Lu Chen won.

Lu He happily wiped the sweat from her brother's brow, knowing he had won.

Shen Qiaoyue could tell that Xu Feiming was going easy on Lu Chen to satisfy Lu He's curiosity. In Lu He's heart, her brother was omnipotent and the most powerful.

Lu Chen and Xu Feiming also knew when to stop and did not continue fighting.

Lu Chen knew that it would take dozens of rounds to determine who would win.

The two of them tacitly understood each other, and Lu Chen was not at a disadvantage, so they finished the matter early.

Liu Xinlan said to Shen Qiaoyue, "The whole family dotes on Lu He, and this Brother Xu Feiming has a bit of a crush on Lu He."

Shen Qiaoyue raised her eyebrows slightly and said in a low voice, "I don't think these two people will make any progress in the short term. As long as Fei Ming has this idea, there will definitely be an opportunity."

It's an unspoken understanding.

Lu He and Xu Feiming get along very well, without any pressure, and are a perfect match. However, as someone with experience and family, Shen Qiaoyue will not interfere or offer too much advice. As long as Lu He's choice is right, Shen Qiaoyue will support her.
