After seeing Lu Yichen off, Luo Qiao was in low spirits for several days. Yanyan and Yueyue were not as lively as before, and Michael was always thinking of ways to make them happy.
The Jun family fell into bankruptcy, and the people that my grandfather had placed in foreign countries had gotten used to living there over the years, and my lover was also from here, so I chose to stay abroad.
Grandpa called and said, "Those people are very reliable. If you need anything, you can ask them to do it."
Luo Qiao was silent for a while before saying, "Grandpa, I don't plan to use them. We have only been in contact over the phone and have never met in person. I will give them some money to compensate them for their loyalty over the years.
I don’t dare to gamble with people’s hearts. Even if I give them a job opportunity, I will not reveal my identity, let alone let them know that I am the one who has been in contact with them.”
After hearing what Luo Qiao said, Mr. Gu said, "I was confused. You are right. It is better to be safe than sorry."
******** Beijing City, after Lu Yichen returned, he has been busy writing reports and making summaries. Because of his outstanding performance in completing the mission, he was also awarded the second-class individual merit.
After finishing work at the company that day, I finally went back to Gu's house. Shitou's college entrance examination results had come out. He ranked first in the city and became the child in the eyes of others.
Shi Tou informed Luo Qiao as soon as he got the news. Luo Qiao was really happy and proud of him, and said that she would send him the latest model of Walkman as a reward.
Shitou told Luo Qiao that he wanted to apply to military school. Luo Qiao did not object as long as he liked it.
Old Master Gu also invited several tables to his home to celebrate for Shitou. Although in his heart, Shitou was not a descendant of the Gu family, he grew up in the Gu family and he had long been regarded as a member of the Gu family.
The Luo family was also happy for Shitou. Each family gave him a gift to encourage him to study hard in college in the future.
Shitou is now very excited and is just waiting for school to start.
******** At the Ning family, Old Lady Ning was reading a newspaper. When she saw that the top scorer in the Beijing college entrance examination was named Sun Zhenglei, she remembered what her son had said before, that the grandson she had never met was named Ning Zhenglei.
It would be great if this was his grandson. Just as he was thinking about it, Ning Ziping and his wife returned.
As soon as Ning Ziping entered the yard, he saw his mother reading a newspaper: "Mom, I brought back some watermelon. Should we eat it now or put it in water to cool it down before eating?"
Mrs. Ning didn't even raise her head: "It's up to you."
Ning Ziping brought out a half-bucket of water and put the watermelon in it: "Mom, what are you looking at so seriously?"
Old Lady Ning pointed at the newspaper and said, "The top student in the college entrance examination in Beijing this year is named Sun Zhenglei. I remember you said before that the child was also named Zhenglei. It would be great if he was our child."
"Mom, how is this possible? We don't have that gene. Besides, the child was in the countryside at the time, and the Sun family couldn't possibly send him to school. Even if a kind-hearted person adopted him later, it might be possible for him to go to school, but it's impossible for him to go to high school and take the college entrance examination.
Besides, even if he did, according to his schooling time, he would probably just be in high school now, so it is impossible for him to take the college entrance examination this year."
"I'm not making an analogy, nor am I saying this is the child."
Ning Ziping picked up the newspaper and took a look: "This name is exactly the same as that child, but it's a pity that the last name is Sun."
When Ning Ziping saw the surname Sun, an idea flashed through his mind, but then he thought that it would be impossible for the adoptive family to let him take his mother's gender, so he shook his head and didn't think about it further.
******** Qiao Hua contacted Luo Qiao after adjusting to the jet lag.
The property left by his grandfather is indeed not far from Harvard, only a ten-minute walk away. Luo Qiao usually goes there at noon to give him acupuncture.
After three times, his legs began to respond and he felt a lot lighter.
After the examination, Luo Qiao said to the Qiao family's grandparents, "Then we won't give you acupuncture today. We'll do a full body combing. It might be a little painful, so you should be mentally prepared."
Qiao Hua now had hope, so he was naturally willing to listen to Luo Qiao: "It's okay, I can bear it."
Luo Qiao looked at the expression on his face and wondered if this man had been stimulated by something. His personality had become much more stable.
Now Qiao Hua only wants to cure his leg, and then find a good job, so that his grandmother can spend her old age happily and not regret her original choice.
******** Time passed quickly, and Luo Qiao's belly grew like a balloon, changing day by day. Now she lives in the school apartment, and He Qing comes to bring her lunch and dinner every day.
Professor Wilson originally wanted Luo Qiao to take a vacation, but Luo Qiao disagreed. She said that she was resting at home anyway and she wasn't that tired here. She would have all kinds of random thoughts if she had nothing to do, so it would be better to have something to do.
When He Qing delivered lunch at noon, he would always bring extra fruits or snacks for the people in the laboratory to share, and everyone took better care of Luo Qiao.
When she was eight months pregnant, Luo Qiao moved to a hospital closer to home for prenatal checkups and also planned to give birth in this hospital.
By then, Aunt Rong will be able to take care of her nearby.
During the weekend break, Yanyan touched her mother's belly and asked, "Mom, when will my brother and sister be born?"
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Luo Qiao said softly, "It will be soon. Yanyan and Yueyue will have to help mom take care of the brothers and sisters, okay?"
Yueyue said very seriously: "Okay, my sister and I will take good care of the brothers and sisters when the time comes."
The news was not received back home until she was almost nine months pregnant, and the Luo and Gu families were in an uproar.
Before Lu Yichen returned to China, Luo Qiao specifically told him not to tell her family about her pregnancy. She didn't want to worry her family. However, she was about to give birth, so she had to tell them. She wanted her grandparents to come over, mainly to take this opportunity to let them go out for a walk.
When several families learned that they had been given a second-child quota, they realized that it must not have been easy to obtain it, so no one asked any further questions.
The old couple of the Luo family and aunt Gu Qianru quickly completed the procedures for going abroad. When they saw Luo Qiao, they were all frightened.
Gu Qianru exclaimed: "Qiaoqiao, your belly is too big, isn't it?"
Luo Qiao smiled and said, "There are three in my belly, so it's normal for it to be a little bigger."
When they heard this, they were shocked at first, then happy, but immediately turned worried.
This change in expression made Luo Qiao laugh: "Don't worry, I'm in good health, but multiple births mean premature births."
Aunt Rong said, "Everyone, stop standing outside and talking. Come inside."
Zhou Guifang kept holding Luo Qiao's hand and said, "Qiaoqiao, why didn't you tell your family in advance so that I could come and take care of you."
Luo Qiao said coquettishly: "This way, after I finish my confinement, I can take you and grandpa out for a walk."
Zhou Guifang felt warm at heart after hearing her granddaughter's words. She was worried that it would be inconvenient for her to take them out to play with her big belly. She really didn't know what to say about her. She was so thoughtful and sensible that it made people feel distressed.
