When they got to the preschool, Yanyan and Yueyue very proudly introduced Luo Qiao to the teachers greeting the children at the gate: "Hello teacher, this is our mom."
Luo Qiao smiled and greeted the teachers, watched the sisters walk in, exchanged a few words with the teacher, and then left.
When she arrived at the school parking lot, she bumped into Emma: "Hi, Emma."
Emma walked over to her: "Luo, when did you get a new car?"
Luo Qiao smiled and closed the car door: "It was delivered yesterday."
Emma glanced at the car: "The latest model of XXX."
Luo Qiao led her toward the school: "Who cares what brand or what the latest model is, it’s just a ans of transportation."
Emma laughed: "I find you really are quite modest."
When they entered the lab, Professor Wilson called a brief eting, then he kept Luo Qiao back: "Luo, there’s sothing I’d like to ask for your help with."
Luo Qiao was all smiles: "Professor, tell , what is it?"
Professor Wilson seed a bit embarrassed to say: "A friend of my wife’s ca back from France a few days ago, saw the embroidered piece you gave her, and asked to find out if you have any more, she would like to buy one."
Luo Qiao asked: "Does she have any particular requests?"
Seeing that Professor Wilson didn’t quite understand, she continued: "I an, in terms of size, pattern?"
Only then did Professor Wilson smack his forehead: "She said as long as it’s beautiful, it’ll do."
Luo Qiao thought for a mont: "Then I’ll bring two pieces over tomorrow, let her choose for herself, and as for the price, she can decide what to give."
Professor Wilson laughed: "Luo, thank you very much."
In the afternoon, Luo Qiao, worried she would forget the ti, even set an alarm to pack up and prepare to leave the lab ahead of ti.
Emma ca over and asked: "Why are you leaving so early today?"
While changing her clothes, Luo Qiao replied: "I promised my daughters this morning that I would pick them up from school, I’ll get going."
"Drive safely, and say hello to the little darlings for , tell them I’ll visit in a few days."
"You just want to have Chinese food, not see them."
"Haha, don’t expose like that, you’ll make feel embarrassed."
"Bye."
A new cake shop had opened not far from the school, and Luo Qiao bought so cakes and waffles before heading to the preschool.
When she arrived, there were already parents waiting, mostly residents living nearby, because they did not need to take the school bus.
Luo Qiao received Yanyan and Yueyue from the teacher, the two sisters said goodbye to the children who took the bus as usual, and then got into their mother’s car.
Yanyan saw the cakes and waffles on the back seat: "Mom, did you buy cakes?"
"Yes, I bought them for you, would you like to eat them now or at ho?"
"Let’s eat at ho, it’s happier to eat with the whole family."
"Alright, then we’ll wash our hands and eat together at ho."

Ti flew by, and a few days before Christmas, Luo Qiao received a call from Big Brother Luo Xuyan: "Qiaoqiao, how have you been recently?"
"Pretty good, is everything fine at ho?"
"All’s well, you don’t have to worry, by the way, we received the package you sent the other day."
"That’s good, I thought it was practical, so I bought so for you to divide up."
"Got it, Qiaoqiao, Big Brother has sothing to tell you."
"Is sothing going on at ho?"
"Qiaoqiao, Mom, she’s getting married."
There was silence at both ends of the phone, then after a long while, Luo Qiao said: "I see, it’s her choice."
Luo Xuyan listened to his sister’s words: "I and second brother have t the man; he’s quite decent, he has a son and a daughter who are already married. The man said that after they get married, they will live separately."
Luo Qiao asked: "Will there be a wedding banquet?"
"Uncle said they plan to just invite colleagues from both sides and family mbers."
"What about you guys, will you go?"
"We’ve discussed it, yes, no matter what, we should support her."
"Okay, I won’t make a special trip back, I’ll have Yichen go."
"The wedding is set for the third day of the lunar New Year."
"What?"
"Uncle called a few days ago, I casually said that you’d be coming back for the New Year."
