After dinner, Lin Jianguo and Lin Hongzhi sat on the sofa in the living room, chatting and drinking tea. Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun helped clear the table, while Wang Xiuying played with Lin Wenbin in the living room.

"Dad, how have you been lately? Is there anything bothering you?" Lin Hongzhi asked with concern, handing Lin Jianguo a cup of tea.

"Hey, I'm in great health, you don't need to worry. But how's work for you? Have you made arrangements?" Lin Jianguo said with a smile, taking the teacup and taking a small sip.

"Everything is arranged. I'll report for duty in three days," Lin Hongzhi said with a smile.

"By the way, Dad, I heard from Mom that you've recently started practicing calligraphy. How's it going? Let me see," Lin Qing asked curiously as she leaned over.

"Haha, I've only just started practicing, but Old Li said I'm particularly talented. I've practiced a few pieces of calligraphy these past few days, I'll show them to you later." Lin Jianguo said with a smile, a hint of pride in his eyes.

"Okay, I'm looking forward to seeing it," Lin Qing said with a smile, as she tidied up the dishes and put them in the kitchen sink.

"Mom, I'll wash the dishes," Wang Xiuying said, picking up a dishcloth.

"Oh dear, you child, why are you always rushing to do the work? Let me do it." Dong Xiulan got up to take the dishcloth.

"Mom, you should rest. I can do this myself," Wang Xiuying insisted, as she began washing the dishes.

"This child is so sensible. You should learn from your sister. Look at Qingqing, she sat down to rest right after finishing her meal!" Dong Xiulan said with a smile and a shake of her head.

Wang Xiuying smiled but didn't say anything, while Dong Xiulan didn't go out either, but stood beside her to help hand things over.

After washing the dishes, the two left the kitchen together and returned to the living room.

"Xiulan, what do you think of my calligraphy?" Lin Jianguo was showing off his calligraphy when he saw Dong Xiulan and hurriedly said with a proud look on his face.

"Wow, this handwriting is really good. It's getting more and more like a calligrapher's style," Dong Xiulan said with a smile, admiring the calligraphy carefully.

She didn't really understand it either, but since the old man was so proud, it must be a good thing.

"Dad, your handwriting is so good, I can't even recognize all of it." Lin Qing also came over and looked at her father's handwriting, pretending to admire him.

"Haha, this girl, she just knows how to make me happy," Lin Jianguo said with a smile, his eyes full of satisfaction.

"Dad, if you sold your calligraphy, you could definitely get a good price for it," Lin Qing joked.

"Haha, you silly girl, you're just talking nonsense. I only practice my calligraphy for fun, I would never sell it," Lin Jianguo said with a laugh, looking helpless at his daughter's mischievousness.

Just as Lin Hongzhi and his son Lin Jianguo were joking around, Dong Xiulan couldn't help but interject, "Alright, you two stop praising each other. This calligraphy is indeed well-written, and it will definitely look nice hanging in your home. But, Hongzhi, if you really like it, you should hang it in your new house; it will make you look cultured."

Upon hearing this, Lin Hongzhi looked embarrassed, but still smiled and said, "Really? Dad, then I'll take this calligraphy!"

Lin Jianguo smiled and nodded: "Take it. Anyway, I have another one that hasn't been framed yet. I'll write another one later."

"Thank you, Dad! Mom, I'll get it framed as soon as I get back, and hang it up in a bit," Lin Hongzhi said, feigning excitement. Then he carefully rolled up the calligraphy, as if afraid of damaging it.

"Hahaha……"

Lin Hongzhi's actions amused Lin Jianguo, who laughed and said to Lin Hongzhi, "No need to be so careful. Oh no, Dad, I'll write you another one."

Dong Xiulan smiled and shook her head: "Your dad is right. You can ask him to write down as many as you want."

"That's not the same. Dad gave it to me willingly," Lin Hongzhi joked, making everyone laugh.

Just then, Lin Wenbin ran over, holding a painting in his hand: "Grandma, Grandpa, look at my painting!"

Dong Xiulan took the painting, looked at it carefully, and smiled kindly: "Wenbin painted it very well. He will definitely become a great painter in the future."

Lin Jianguo also came over, looked at his grandson's drawing, and nodded with a smile: "It's well drawn, you have a lot of talent. You should practice more in the future."

Upon hearing the praise, Lin Wenbin smiled proudly and said, "I will. I want to become a great calligrapher and painter like my grandfather."

"Hahaha……"

Everyone couldn't help but laugh at Lin Wenbin's innocent and naive appearance. The room was filled with a warm and joyful atmosphere.

"By the way, Qingqing, I came here this time to ask you to take your sister-in-law's pulse!"

Lin Hongzhi suddenly said.

"Let me take your sister-in-law's pulse. What's wrong with her?"

After Lin Qing finished speaking, she turned her gaze to Wang Xiuying and asked with concern.

The others also turned their gazes to Wang Xiuying, their eyes filled with worry.

"I've been feeling tired and sleepy lately, and I suspect I might be pregnant, which is why I wanted you to take a look!"

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, Wang Xiuying didn't hesitate and said with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll check on my sister-in-law!"

As Lin Qing spoke, she grabbed Wang Xiuying's arm and began to take her pulse with a serious expression.

Lin Hongzhi looked at Lin Qing with anticipation.

"The time is still a bit short, so I can't be sure, but the pulse does look like a slippery pulse."

After taking Wang Xiuying's pulse for a while, Lin Qing released her arm and said with a smile.

"How is your sister-in-law's health?"

Lin Hongzhi continued to inquire with concern.

"Don't worry, your sister-in-law is in good health. I'll give you another treatment next month!"

Lin Qing said with a smile.

"That's good, that's good, then I can rest assured!"

Lin Hongzhi breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and said with a smile.

"Great, great... That's wonderful! I was worried that Wenbin was a bit lonely since you only had one child, but now that you're having a second baby, Wenbin won't be lonely anymore!"

Dong Xiulan said with a happy expression after hearing this.

"Mom, it's not confirmed yet! What if..."

Wang Xiuying said somewhat embarrassedly that seeing her mother-in-law so excited, she was also worried that if there was a mistake, her mother-in-law would be so disappointed!

"Don't worry, Mom didn't mean anything by it. It would be better if you had it, but it's okay if you don't. Just relax and don't feel pressured."

Dong Xiulan reached out and patted Wang Xiuying's arm to comfort her.
