Chen Qiuling sat next to Chen Zhi, poured wine for Bai Dalin, and poured herself a cup of tea. She raised the teacup to Bai Dalin and said, "Husband, thank you for being so good to me and Zhi'er. During the time Zhi'er was injured, I was fortunate to have you. Otherwise, I would not know what to do. I am pregnant and cannot drink alcohol, so I will use tea instead. This cup is for you, my husband. Thank you for your hard work."
Chen Zhi cleverly poured himself a drink and raised his glass, saying, "Thank you for taking care of me, Father."
The mother and son looked at each other with admiration and gratitude. Bai Dalin's vanity was greatly satisfied. He said, "Okay... okay, Zhi'er, you just got up, don't drink..." and then downed the wine in one gulp.
Chen Qiuling smiled and drank her tea, then nudged Chen Zhi, who then placed a large piece of meat on Bai Dalin's plate, saying, "Dad, have some vegetables."
"You eat too, you eat too..."
Everyone enjoyed the meal.
"Ouch..." Chen Zhi had just put down his chopsticks when he cried out, startling Bai Dalin and Chen Qiuling. The two stared at him blankly, asking, "What's wrong?"
Chen Zhi clutched his stomach, his face contorted in pain, trying to suppress his agony. "My stomach hurts... Ouch, I need to use the restroom..." Before he could finish speaking, Chen Zhi ran off, kicking over a chair in the process, but he didn't even have time to pick it up before running away like he was being chased by a dog.
"What's wrong? Did you eat something bad?" Bai Dalin asked.
"No way..." Chen Qiuling murmured, then cried out in pain, clutching her stomach and bending over. "Husband, my stomach hurts so much..."
"What's wrong?" Bai Dalin looked at her, quite anxious. "Is the baby unwell?"
"No, I just need to use the restroom..." Chen Qiuling shook her head in pain, clutched her stomach, and ran away.
"What's wrong?" Bai Dalin was completely confused, but as soon as he finished speaking, his stomach started to hurt.

"Alright, Yu, come and eat your noodles..." In Bai Nuo's kitchen, Bai Nuo deftly picked up the noodles, added oil, salt, and soup, and called Bai Yu over to eat.
The noodles are soaked in soup, topped with an egg and some greens, and sprinkled with chopped green onions. They are steaming hot and fragrant, making them very appetizing.
"Sister..." Bai Yu skipped over and sat down at the table. He moved the bowl in front of him and took a sip of soup. "Didn't you say we wouldn't have any food tonight?" He had already prepared himself to go hungry.
"There's no food!" Bai Nuo said seriously. "When did we eat? Noodles, for example?"
She also filled a bowl, and wow, the noodles were just the right texture, the soup was delicious, the vegetables were crisp and sweet, and the egg was soft-boiled—it tasted just so good.
"Sis, there seems to be a lot of noise over there!" Bai Yu was munching on noodles while listening to the sounds outside. The groans and cries from next door reached her ears, and she perked up her ears to listen.
"Just eat yours..."
