Chapter 281: Chapter 281 eting and Recognizing Relatives Chapter 281: Chapter 281 eting and Recognizing Relatives Several elders all smiled and said, “Good, welco ho.”
Each one also handed out a red envelope. Luo Qiao initially didn’t want to accept it, but Luo Siyuan said, “Take it, it’s the elders’ goodwill.”
The Luo’s Elderly Couple, who had montarily forgotten this matter in their joy, also took out their greeting gifts. Grandpa gave a red envelope, and Grandma Luo brought out a pair of jade bracelets.
Luo Qiao hesitated upon seeing Grandma’s gift, not wanting to accept it—it was too hot to handle and likely to stir up trouble, especially since she didn’t lack such things in her space.
Old Lady Luo could obviously tell her granddaughter’s expression and thought to herself that her granddaughter was good. She said, “Accept it with confidence, your cousins both have one, and they won’t mind it.”
At this mont, Cousin Luo Jialin and Younger Cousin Luo Jiayue, who were standing aside, ca forward. Luo Jialin said with a smile, “Cousin, I am your Cousin Luo Jialin, and this is Younger Cousin Luo Jiayue. Please accept it; it’s Grandma’s sentint. Besides, Jiayue and I also have ours.”
Luo Qiao could only offer thanks, accepted the greeting gifts, and exchanged pleasantries with her cousins with a smile.
Luo Siyuan then introduced Luo Qiao to Elder Cousin Luo Xudong, Cousin-in-law Shang Jie, Nephew Luo Pengrui, Niece Luo Ziyao from uncle’s family, Second Cousin Luo Xunan, Cousin-in-law Wang Lanxiang, Niece Luo Ziqian, and Cousin Luo Xufei from her younger uncle’s family.
Luo Qiao greeted each one by one, and afterward, everyone sat down.
Afterward, the atmosphere suddenly beca sowhat awkward, as the head of the house, the biological parents of the original owner, was nowhere to be seen.
Grandma Luo spoke up, “Your mom and dad will be back soon. Your mom had actually taken the day off, but early this morning the office called saying that the higher-ups were coming for an inspection, and she had to retrieve the locked account books.
Your dad will definitely be ho soon. Their office building is not far from the residential compound, and he’ll surely be back once he hears the news—he’s been excited for several days already.”
No sooner had she finished speaking than soone ran inside, “Qiaoqiao, sorry, Dad’s back.”
The person who ca running in was none other than Luo Haotian, whom Grandma Luo had just ntioned. He was carrying a bowl of tofu pudding and a big basket of youtiao, saying, “Qiaoqiao, you haven’t had breakfast yet, have you?
Your dad heard soone say you were back and ran to the breakfast shop in the alley to bring you sothing to eat. Co on over and eat; Master Lu’s cooking is especially good.”
Luo Qiao was touched and her eyes instantly moistened, “Thank you.”
Luo Haotian grinned and said, “As long as my girl likes it, there is no need to thank . Co over and eat with dad, then we can talk.”
Grandma Luo nodded and said, “Go on, I also made so porridge for you. I’ll serve you a bowl right away—you can choose whatever you like to eat.”
Soon, the cousins helped carry out the porridge, eggs, cold dishes, salty duck eggs, and small buns from the kitchen, and everyone’s faces were filled with kind smiles.
Luo Haotian sat on the side, accompanying his daughter and son in the dining room while everyone else retreated to the living room to chat. They occasionally glanced toward the dining room, feeling that Luo Qiao was true Luo Family material, far better than Zhao Jianing by miles.
After Luo Qiao finished eating, Luo Haotian brought his daughter water to rinse her mouth, then they cleared the dining room and went to sit in the living room. Throughout this ti, Luo Siyuan was completely ignored by his father.
Cousin Luo Jialin said, “Luo Qiao, I didn’t expect you to be in the first year of high school already, I’m just in my third year.”
Luo Qiao smiled and responded, “Well, I just wanted to save so tuition, and besides, I had already learned that knowledge while I was on the farm with my masters.”
Luo Jialin asked curiously, “You have masters?”
Luo Qiao smiled, “Yes, they have all returned to Capital City now. I even plan to visit them while I’m here.”
Younger Cousin Luo Jiayue looked at Luo Qiao, “Second Cousin, your skin is really nice.”
Luo Qiao touched her face and said with a smile, “Later, when I have ti, I’ll make so skincare products for you. I’ve been using them on my face before, and the results are pretty good.”
Little Auntie Luo beca interested as she heard this, “Qiaoqiao, you know how to make skincare products?”
Luo Qiao looked up at her little auntie, noticing many spots on her auntie’s face, and replied, “Yes, my master was a doctor, versed in both traditional Chinese and Western dicine. I learned quite a bit during those years at the farm.”
