An Siyun repeatedly pondered over what Luo Qiao had just said.
After parking the car at the place, Luo Qiao asked, "Is this the place?"
Only then did An Siyun co to her senses: "Yes, thank you so much, Sister Luo. I wonder if I could have your address so that I can visit you to express my thanks later."
Luo Qiao smiled faintly and said, "No need for the address, just go back quickly. It’s best to soak in a hot bath so you don’t catch a cold."
An Siyun thought for a mont and said, "I work at the Municipal Education Bureau. If you ever need my help, do rember to find ."
Watching An Siyun leave, Luo Qiao turned the car around and headed towards the Luo Family.
She drove the car to a secluded spot, then entered the space to rinse off and change clothes. Wearing wet clothes was uncomfortable, and she also didn’t want to worry her grandparents later.
She parked the car properly at the place, took out the vest she bought for her grandparents, and from the space, took out two boxes of homade tea leaves and dried fruits before heading back.
She greeted Uncle Sun when passing by the alley at his house.
Luo Qiao entered the door and heard laughter coming from the living room. She wondered if her sisters-in-law had co over to visit Grandma.
She shouted, "Grandpa, Grandma, I’m back."
Zhou Guifang stood up when she heard Luo Qiao’s voice and said to the people inside, "It’s my Qiaoqiao who’s back."
She opened the curtain and ca out: "Why did you co back today without calling first?"
Luo Qiao sweetly replied, "I missed you, so I ca back since I had so ti."
After entering the house, she saw Grandma Zhao from next door and a girl she didn’t recognize.
Luo Qiao smiled and greeted, "Hello, Grandma Zhao."
Grandma Zhao was all smiles, "Qiaoqiao, it’s been a while since I last saw you."
Luo Qiao put down her things, "I’ve been quite busy recently and didn’t have ti to co back."
Zhou Guifang introduced to the girl inside, "This is my granddaughter, Luo Qiao."
Then she introduced to Luo Qiao, "This is Grandma Zhao’s distant niece, Chang Yu."
Luo Qiao nodded gently as a greeting.
Chang Yu said, "Grandma Luo, your granddaughter is really beautiful."
Zhou Guifang’s face was full of smiles upon hearing this, "She’s already the mother of five, don’t praise her too much."
Chang Yu’s eyes flashed with envy, she couldn’t quite believe the person in front of her had given birth to five children. If not told, based on her appearance and figure, she would have thought she was a young girl yet to be married.
Zhou Guifang looked at Luo Qiao, "Qiaoqiao, stay for dinner before you leave."
Luo Qiao nodded, "Sure, I will call Yichen later."
Grandma Zhao stood up after sitting for a while: "It’s getting late, we should also go back and prepare for dinner."
Chang Yu actually didn’t want to leave; she wanted to chat more with the Luo family and get closer to them.
But her cousin didn’t give her the chance, so Chang Yu said, "I’ll co over after dinner to chat with you again."
Luo Qiao just took it as a polite remark.
Luo Qiao called Lu Yichen, "Hey, Brother Chen."
"Qiaoqiao, where are you?"
"I’m at Grandma’s. Just letting you know I’ll be back after dinner."
"Alright, if I finish work early over here, I’ll co pick you up."
"You can just go about your work. I’ll head back ho after I have dinner with Grandpa and Grandma."
After hanging up, she also called Rong Daniang, so she wouldn’t make too much food.
After leaving the Luo family, Chang Yu continued to inquire about the Luo family from her cousin and learned that the Luo children were all successful. Thoughts started stirring in her mind.
Chang Yu had a brother who had just graduated from university this year, but he wasn’t satisfied with his assigned unit. The family had been looking for connections everywhere to get him a better position.
This ti she ca to her cousin’s house, hoping her sister-in-law could help. But her sister-in-law politely declined. Her cousin, fearing she would feel awkward staying at ho, brought her out for a visit.
But now, hearing her cousin speak about the Luo family, she began to wonder if she could manage it if she got on good terms with the Luo family. She started considering what she should do.
Later on, her cousin ntioned that Luo Qiao’s husband was the Director of the Capital City Public Security Bureau, which sparked a bold idea in her mind. This made her too excited to stay any longer, so she imdiately bid farewell to her cousin and left.
Luo Qiao said she wanted to eat Grandma’s handmade noodles.
So Zhou Guifang prepared at sauce and tomato egg sauce, kneaded the dough, ready to make noodles.
Unexpectedly, just as the noodles were put in the pot, Lu Yichen arrived: "Looks like I made it just in ti."
Luo Qiao laughed and asked, "You’re done with work?"
Lu Yichen smiled lightly and nodded, "Yes, I’m done. I’m going to report to the departnt tomorrow, this case is closed."
Luo Qiao picked up a bowl of noodles: "Do you want at sauce or tomato egg sauce?"
Lu Yichen’s lips curved up, "Why not both?"
Luo Qiao scooped the sauce into a bowl and handed it to him, then served herself a bowl. Grandma’s handmade noodles were very chewy and never got boring to eat.
Indeed, a few days later, the previous child trafficking case made it to the newspapers. The scope was astonishing, rescuing nearly a hundred children, and the aftermath work was ongoing.
Luo Qiao, the informant, also received comndations, though it wasn’t made public. This was a decision made by Lu Yichen and Luo Qiao after discussions.
Moreover, Luo Qiao only accepted the dal, and the prize money was directly donated by the governnt to the Capital City’s nursing ho.
