Chapter 1147: Chapter 1147 Naming, Surprise
Luo Qiao felt a sweetness in her heart. A few years ago, when cellphones beca popular, she wanted to buy two but Lu Yichen said they were too expensive and unnecessary, telling Qiao to just buy one for herself. Later, Luo Qiao also felt they weren’t that useful, so the matter was dropped.
In truth, one reason was that cellphones were indeed expensive in China at the ti, and secondly, he didn’t want to draw too much attention.
But now, he wanted to be able to contact her at any ti and didn’t mind the cost, so he went ahead and bought one.
The two chatted idly for a while before hanging up the phone.
When Gu Qianru walked in, the three little ones had just woken up: “These three little guys woke up and didn’t cry, so well-behaved.”
Luo Qiao laughed, “They might be holding back their big move. Auntie, quickly hand a basin; they might need to go potty.”
At that mont, Grandma Luo, who heard the commotion, also ca in, picked up one, and started to help him: “It’s only been a few days, but they already know how to pee and poo in the basin; they’re going to be even more fastidious when they grow up.”
Everyone burst into laughter, Luo Qiao touched her eldest son in her arms: “Xiao Rui, who is Great Granny talking about?”
Gu Qianru asked Luo Qiao, “Have the nas been decided?”
Luo Qiao nodded with a smile: “Yichen just called and said that Grandpa had decided on the nas: the third one is Gu Hongrui, the fourth one is Gu Hongye, and the fifth one is Lu Hongyu.”
Old Madam Luo’s face was all smiles upon hearing this: “These nas sound so grand.”
Gu Qianru, holding the fourth child, laughed: “Xiao Ye, from now on, Auntie will call you Xiao Yeh.”
Luo Qiao put down her eldest son: “Auntie, Yiting’s milk supply has co in these past few days, right?”
Gu Qianru, teasing the little one in her arms, replied: “It has, and it was quite the struggle. If she had triplets, she might have had to resort to formula milk.”

Luo Qiao received news that the remaining mbers of the Jun family were moving to Washington, apparently leaving tomorrow.
The Jun family’s troubles had implicated many people, and the families behind those people certainly weren’t going to let them off easily. Luo Qiao had anticipated this; they couldn’t hope for a revival staying here, much less a peaceful life.
The ssenger also said that the Jun family’s affairs were settled and their mission was complete. Afterward, they would live a good life here.
Understanding their aning, Luo Qiao had Wei Jun dress up a bit and delivered a sum of money to each of them as thanks for their years of service.
The Jun family’s affairs were thus concluded, and everything from the past would be left to the wind.

Days passed, and the little ones were growing and changing every day, so adorable. Luo Qiao took photos of them every few days as a keepsake.
Luo Qiao didn’t gain weight from all the soups and broths; most of it probably turned into milk. The three sons were plump and fair, truly living up to the saying “a good seedling doesn’t worry about growing.”
One day, while Luo Qiao was in the house playing with her children, she heard noise from the yard. At first, she thought it was Yanyan and Yueyue returning from school, but then she heard soone calling for Grandma.
Luo Qiao walked from the room downstairs and imdiately saw the handso Big Brother standing there. Luo Qiao was thrilled: “Big Brother, why didn’t you let us know in advance?”
Luo Xuyan saw that his sister was the sa as before. She hadn’t gained weight like others who had just given birth, but she hadn’t lost weight either: “I wanted to surprise you all.”
After greeting everyone politely, he continued: “I couldn’t be sure of my arrangents in New York, so I didn’t notify you in advance. I have to return to New York early tomorrow morning.”
Then, the kitchen beca busy. Rong Daniang prepared garlic lobster, garlic scallops, stead codfish, cheese-baked lobster, and stewed seafood soup. Afraid that Luo Xuyan might not be used to them, she also made many hostyle dishes: shrimp with celery, braised fish, dry pot tofu, four-happiness atballs, braised eggplant, and radish stewed with ribs, and even wrapped so beef dumplings.
Soon after, Yanyan and Yueyue returned ho with Michael and imdiately rushed to their uncle: “Big Uncle.”
Luo Xuyan caught the two nieces flying toward him: “Did you miss Big Uncle?”
Yanyan hugged Luo Xuyan’s neck coquettishly: “Big Uncle, did you co alone? I miss Cousin Peng Hao.”
Luo Xuyan replied with a smile: “Big Uncle was performing in New York. I squeezed in a little ti to co see you, but I didn’t bring Cousin along.”
Seeing a hint of disappointnt on the faces of his two nieces, Luo Xuyan said: “Big Uncle brought you gifts.”
He took out two Barbie dolls from the bag he brought: “Big Uncle wasn’t sure if you’d like them.”
Yueyue took the doll: “Thank you, Big Uncle. I really like it.”
Yanyan also expressed thanks, and then turned around, lifting the doll: “Michael, this is what my uncle gave . Do you want to play too?”
Michael was a bit embarrassed: “That’s for girls to play with. I’m a boy.”
Yet, he still approached and greeted Luo Xuyuan. Yanyan chattered on: “Big Uncle, this is Michael. He is my and my sister’s playmate, living just next door.”
Luo Xuyuan smiled and greeted back, handing over a box of Capital Delights: “Try this for your family.”
