Chapter 745: Chapter 745 I Got Engaged Chapter 745: Chapter 745 I Got Engaged The aunts who followed in laughed, “Professor Yang is so ticulous; these flowers and plants have certainly found a good owner.”
Luo Qiao handed the basket to her master’s wife, “Master’s wife, take a rest, I can help Master.”
Feng Shumin said, “There’s not much work left, you don’t need to get your hands dirty again.”
Luo Qiao smiled and said, “It’s alright, you take a rest, it doesn’t look like much, but it will probably take a while to finish.”
Just as Feng Shumin took the basket, an aunt on the side laughed, “What delicious thing have you brought this ti, even covering it with cloth?”
She reached out to pull the cloth, and Feng Shumin was caught off guard as the woman pulled the cloth off, revealing a basket full of at: “Wow, your disciple has really been taught well, this at is so fresh.”
While the aunt said this, her eyes lit up when looking at Luo Qiao, “Qiaoqiao, how old are you this year?”
Since they were all neighbors, it wasn’t nice to be too dismissive, so she replied, “Eighteen.”
“Then it’s about ti to talk about marriage.”
“Aunt, I’m engaged.”
“Ah, you’re engaged so early?”
As soon as she said this, the other people in the courtyard laughed; the contradiction between the questions was truly speechless.
But it was not her fault, because Feng Shumin was distributing candy at the gate a while ago, and just at that ti this aunt had gone to visit her daughter and see her grandson, and had only co back a few days ago; the buzz around Luo Qiao’s engagent had already died down, so no one had ntioned it to her.
Luo Qiao did not care what the aunt was thinking, she had already moved past her master and started helping, watching the quiet and gentle young girl work quite efficiently.
The aunt, having made an awkward comnt, did not stay much longer and, after a bit more idle chat, she left.
The master and apprentice worked together seamlessly, and it took only half an hour to finish the protection for the flower beds in the courtyard, so even if Yang Jiancheng went on a business trip, he could rest easy.
Luo Qiao brought out so water, “Master, wash your hands.”
As Yang Jiancheng washed his hands, he said, “This ti I’m going to Shanghai for an exchange, and I won’t take you with , so you won’t be the subject of gossip at school. If there’s another chance after you skip a grade, I will definitely take you out to broaden your horizons.”
Luo Qiao smiled, “Understood, Master, don’t worry about it, I get what you an.”
In her heart, she thought about skipping to the second year by the end of this sester, then honestly advancing to the third year next year, and by the end of next year skipping to the fourth year, so she would have ample ti to review all the knowledge, without overworking herself. Master’s offer to take her out for an exchange would also silence Youyou’s criticisms.
Feng Shumin saw that they had washed their hands, “Qiaoqiao, why did you buy so much at?”
Luo Qiao smiled, “I ca across a good deal, so I got a bit more, and besides, your cooking is excellent, Master’s wife. If anything, we can braise the beef. It would be good for Master to have it while traveling, and for the lamb, we can freeze so in the refrigerator.”
Hearing Luo Qiao’s words, Yang Jiancheng laughed, “I think Qiaoqiao’s idea is great. I’ll take more of the braised beef with , and I can bring so to Bingwen too. He’s always been ntioning on the phone how he misses your cooking.”
Feng Shumin laughed, “Alright then, I’ll braise it all. I’m not sure if Guo Liang is going this ti. You might want to call and ask; if he’s going too, you can share so with him.”
Luo Qiao heard her master’s wife’s words, “Master’s wife, you’re always thinking about my eldest and second elder brothers, aren’t you afraid I’ll get jealous?”
Feng Shumin tapped her forehead with a finger, “When can’t you eat while staying with Master’s wife? Still jealous over this?”
All three of them burst into laughter.
Luo Qiao saw the sky outside was ominously cloudy, fearing it would rain, so she didn’t linger too long and hurried back by car. She had already told Stone she would return early that afternoon.
Stone had always been at the top of his class, which greatly comforted Luo Qiao, though his aunt, Gu Qianru, had put in a lot of effort as well.
No sooner had Luo Qiao arrived ho than the rain started to fall, and just as she entered the living room, the phone rang. It was her master, calling to ensure she was ho safely.
She had just hung up the phone, her hand still away from the receiver, when the phone rang again; “Hello, who is this?”
“Qiaoqiao, it’s .”
“You haven’t left work yet?”
“I’m about to leave. I saw it started raining and wanted to see if you made it ho, or else I’d co pick you up.”
“I’m back, just crossed the threshold, nearly got caught in the rain.”
“Good, I’m relieved you’re ho.”
“We’re having flatbread for dinner tonight; do you want to co over for it and take Stone back with you? It’ll save him the rush tomorrow morning for school.”
“Sure, I’ll co over in a bit.”
Zhou Guifang ca out from the kitchen, “Whose call was it?”
The sister-in-law sitting on the sofa smiled, “Your granddaughter’s fiancé.”
Luo Qiao’s face bead with a smile, “Granny, Brother Chen is coming for dinner tonight; I’ll help you out in a bit.”
Zhou Guifang laughed, “You’re just luring him here to pick up Stone, aren’t you?”
Luo Qiao stood up and hugged her grandmother’s shoulders, “You’ve seen right through .”
