Sure enough, the snow fell all night, and when I woke up the next day, the snow outside was above my ankles.

After breakfast, Lu Yichen did not let Luo Qiao go out. He drove the two children to the kindergarten himself. After watching the two daughters being picked up by the teacher, he drove away.

Luo Qiao had nothing to do at home today, so she cleaned the house, cooked a big pot of mutton soup at noon, and made a lot of crispy cakes.

When Lu Yichen came back at noon, he smelled the fragrance before he even entered the door: "Qiaobao, are you making mutton soup?"

Luo Qiao poked her head out of the kitchen: "You have a good nose, wash your hands and get ready to eat."

Lu Yichen smiled at the pretty little woman at the door and said, "Okay."

As soon as I came out after washing my hands, I heard someone outside the door shouting, "Yichen, are you home?"

When Lu Yichen heard the voice, he hurried to the gate: "Hey, why are you here? Come in, come in."

When Luo Qiao heard the noise outside, she thought someone from the staff quarters came to look for Lu Yichen. After serving the mutton soup, she looked outside.

As a result, there were three unfamiliar men.

Lu Yichen shouted to the kitchen: "Qiaoqiao, there are guests."

Luo Qiao came out of the kitchen, and Lu Yichen pulled her over: "This is my wife Luo Qiao."

He pointed to three people in the courtyard and introduced them, "These are my comrades-in-arms, Zhao Dahai, Yu Guangyi, and Shi Jingjun. They went to the south to do business and returned to the Northeast. They drove back in Jingshi and came to see me."

Luo Qiao smiled and said, "Hello, welcome to my home. Come in quickly. I will serve you food right away."

Several of them greeted Luo Qiao with a smile: "Sister-in-law, sorry to bother you."

Luo Qiao looked at them and said, "You should come to my house when you arrive in Beijing. There's no need to disturb me. Come in quickly."

Fortunately, I made a big pot of mutton soup today. I had originally planned to scoop some out and store it in the space so that I can take it out whenever I want to drink it. Now it is just right for entertaining people.

However, there were not many pastries made, and he was afraid that they would not be enough for them to eat, so he took out some of the buns and sugar bags he had made previously from the space.

After getting ready, I called Lu Yichen to come out and serve the food, but everyone came over: "Sister-in-law, I'm really sorry to trouble you."

Luo Qiao smiled and handed over the mutton soup: "You were Yichen's comrades-in-arms, so you are brothers for life. I am so happy that you can come to see him. It just so happens that you have a good time today. I made mutton soup."

A few people laughed and took the big bowl of mutton soup handed over by Luo Qiao. The mutton soup in the bowl was milky white, garnished with coriander and chopped green onions, and had no smell of mutton at all.

Lu Yichen said, "Why don't we drink it here? It's close to the pot, so we don't have to run back and forth."

Zhao Dahai added: "Whatever is convenient for you."

Luo Qiao brought over some shortbread, steamed buns, and sugar buns: "You're welcome. There's a lot in the pot today. Don't be embarrassed to go hungry."

Yu Guangyi took it and put it on the table with a smile: "No, sister-in-law, come and eat soon."

Luo Qiao smiled and said, "I'll be there soon."

Then he picked up some spicy cabbage that he had pickled himself and brought it over: "This is the spicy cabbage that I pickled myself, you can eat it together. I will make you something delicious tonight."

Shi Jingjun swallowed the cake in his mouth and said, "Sister-in-law, we are very grateful to be able to drink such delicious mutton soup. We came here just to see you today, and we have to catch the bus in the evening. This meal is delicious, how can it be considered as just a compromise?"

Everyone laughed. After knowing that the bus left at 10 o'clock in the evening, there was no way Lu Yichen and his wife would let anyone go.

After dinner, they followed Lu Yichen to the Public Security Bureau. Luo Qiao began to prepare. She first stewed the spare ribs, then made steamed pork with rice flour, and also steamed the Chinese sausage.

Knowing that they had big appetites, I specially steamed a large pot of rice and also took out a lot of steamed buns as a reserve.

After all these were done, it was getting late, so he kneaded the dough and let it rise, then stewed a pot of meat and boiled a pot of tea eggs on the stove. Then he washed up and changed his clothes.

As soon as I left the yard, I heard Yanyan's laughter outside and knew that she had been brought back.

I quickly went to open the door: "You're back, are you cold?"

When Yanyan saw her mother, she jumped from her father's arms into her mother's arms: "Mom, the teacher said that the road is not easy to walk these days, so we don't have to go there. She also said that we will have a holiday."

Yueyue continued: "The teacher said we will have a holiday next week."

Luo Qiao smiled and said, "Okay, then you can stay at home with your mother tomorrow."

He greeted everyone to come in: "This is just the right time, the food is ready, wash your hands and eat."

Zhao Dahai and the other two grown men felt a little embarrassed.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Luo Qiao smiled at them and said, "If Yichen and I go to your place, will you not entertain us?"

Yu Guangyi raised his head: "Then we will definitely entertain you."

After he finished speaking, he paused, and suddenly he laughed out loud: "Yes, sister-in-law is right, we are all brothers, sister-in-law doesn't dislike us, so we shouldn't be embarrassed."

Luo Qiao smiled and said, "That's right, Brother Chen, take Brother Yu and the others to wash their hands, and we'll get ready to eat."

This time they went back to the living room to eat. When the dishes were served on the table, the three of them felt really sour and warm in their hearts. This time when they went to the south, they also visited the homes of several comrades-in-arms, but most of them were a little disgusted, so they mostly left after meeting them once.

Originally, they wanted to meet Yichen this time, so they went to the station to wait for the bus, but it just so happened that the place where they had business in Beijing was nearby.

It wasn't just a lunch, they also had to keep them for dinner before leaving. They really couldn't refuse. They hadn't seen each other for a long time and had a lot to talk about. They didn't expect the dinner to be so sumptuous that they didn't know what to say for a moment.

Luo Qiao served them a small bowl of soup: "Drink some soup first to warm your stomach."

With the two little girls livening up the atmosphere and the dishes being authentic, everyone enjoyed the meal very much. However, Luo Qiao did not let them drink too much, only a small glass.

Because they still have to take the bus at night, and I’m afraid they won’t be alert if they drink too much.

When they were almost done eating, Luo Qiao got up and went to the kitchen. When they had finished eating and were ready to leave, Luo Qiao prepared two large bags of food for them in the kitchen, because they still had to take two days of driving to get home.

Luo Qiao packed a lot of tea eggs, chopped spicy cabbage and Chinese sausage, and also took a lot of vegetarian buns, as well as the freshly made crispy biscuits and meat patties.

I also gave them a bag of apples and oranges, and a large bag of oil-tea noodles, which had been prepared earlier. I gave them all the food and asked them to drink it in the car.

Several people looked at Lu Yichen with emotion. Lu Yichen did not expect his wife to be so thoughtful. "Since my wife has prepared it, you don't have to be polite. This is her token of appreciation. I will bring my wife and daughter to visit you later."

Zhao Dahai said loudly: "Okay, I will definitely entertain you well when the time comes. Thank you, sister-in-law."

Because the snow on the street outside had not been completely shoveled away and it was cold, Lu Yichen prepared to take them to the station. Before the three of them left, each of them took out a big unity and put it down. Shi Jingjun said, "Don't refuse. We didn't bring anything for the children. This is a little gift from us. Don't think it's too little."

Today is Father's Day, my little cuties, don't forget!
