Someone laughed and responded, "Even if we’re envious, it’s useless. We don’t have a pretty and well-educated daughter like theirs."
Another person chimed in, "Dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and mice are born to burrow. We don’t have the skills of Director Lu and Deputy Director Luo. It’s normal for their daughter to find a good son-in-law."
The people present burst into laughter.
"What do you think Director Lu’s two sons-in-law do?"
"They’re just dating, and you’ve already settled on calling them sons-in-law. Isn’t it a bit early?"
"But it’s a matter of time. They look like a perfect match; they won’t run off."
"The other day, I heard Rong Daniang say that one is still pursuing a postgraduate degree, while the other has already obtained a master’s degree and started working."
"Their family must be wealthy; otherwise, how could they afford a car while still studying."
"With their academic qualifications, they’re sure to land a good job. Who knows, maybe the car is provided by their pany."
"Hmm, that makes sense. It’s still important to study more; otherwise, you’ll end up doing hard labor at construction sites."
"Haha, that’s right. We should go back and talk to our kids about it."
"We should talk to the kids, but they have to be the right material. If they’re not, they might get annoyed just hearing it."
"That’s true, but what if it has an effect on them, and they start striving for success? Then we’d really benefit."
Everyone burst into laughter again.
Someone spoke up: "Alright, time to disperse. We should start preparing dinner. Those who went to work will be ing back soon."
Everyone looked at the sky and realized it was time to cook, and dispersed, not forgetting to glance at the Lu Family’s gate, thinking about their status with a sense of envy.
When they got home, a few of them put their things away and instinctively headed to the kitchen. Luo Chen remarked with a smile, "Grandma Rong, we’re here to lend a hand."
Upon hearing, Rong Daniang smiled and replied, "You all can just relax. There’s still some time before dinner. I can manage."
Qi Junrui took the vegetables from Rong Daniang’s hands, saying, "Grandma Rong, don’t be polite with us. We’re part of the family now, and it’s not right to just sit and wait for the food. Even though I can’t cook, I can still help with preparing the vegetables."
Yueyue, observing Qi Junrui’s expression, smiled and said to Rong Daniang, "Grandma Rong, they’re one of us. Even when Xiao Ye and the others e home, they have work to do; there’s no ’waiting to eat’ for them either. Let them help; my sister and I are here, too."
Rong Daniang laughed, being even fonder of Luo Chen and Qi Junrui: "Alright, since you all say so, let’s go with it."
The kitchen was filled with laughter and joy.
When Luo Qiao returned, she saw several people helping in the kitchen, joking as they prepared vegetables, with Rong Daniang looking at them lovingly.
This brought a smile to her face.
It was Yanyan who first noticed Luo Qiao standing outside the kitchen, "Mom, you’re back."
Luo Qiao nodded with a smile, "Why did you bring Luo Chen and Jun Rui to the kitchen?"
Yanyan, with her carefree manner, replied, "Mom, we’re all family. Even your precious daughters have e to help, and they’re still on their probationary period. They need to show off their capabilities."
To prevent Yanyan from getting scolded, Luo Chen quickly interjected, "Auntie, we volunteered, not dragged here by them. Besides, we should learn these things. I heard Uncle Lu’s cooking is really tasty, and we must learn from him to pass the test."
The people in the kitchen erupted into laughter.
