Michael reached out and took it: "Thank you."
At this time, Aunt Rong came over and asked everyone to wash their hands and prepare for dinner. Michael politely said goodbye and went home with the eight Beijing items.
Luo Xuyan was now eager to see the triplets, so he did not go to the restaurant. Instead, he said to Luo Qiao, "Qiaoqiao, let's go upstairs to see my nephews. I'm here with a mission."
As he spoke, he raised his camera and said, "I want to take more photos and bring them back."
After going upstairs, the little ones were sleeping soundly. Luo Xuyan was fascinated by them. They were really so cute. He raised his camera and pressed the shutter to record this beautiful moment.
Seeing that no one had come down, Grandma Luo asked Yanyan to come up and call for help: "Mom, uncle, my great-grandmother asked me to come up and call you to come down for dinner."
Luo Qiao nodded: "You go down first, we will be there soon."
Before going downstairs, Luo Xuyan handed three longevity gold lockets to Luo Qiao: "These are chosen by your sister-in-law, you keep them for the children."
Luo Qiao took it with a smile: "Then I will keep it for your nephews, and thank your uncle and aunt on their behalf."
After putting their things away, the two of them went downstairs together.
Luo Xuyan saw the dishes on the table and said: "This lobster is really big."
Grandma Luo laughed and said, "When your grandfather and I first came here, we were just like you, ignorant."
After that everyone laughed.
Luo Qiao asked her brother to eat more. The seafood ingredients were very fresh and alive before cooking. Aunt Rong’s seafood cooking skills were top-notch now.
Luo Qiao's meals are prepared separately and are all relatively light.
After everyone had finished their meal and cleaned up, Luo Qiao sent Yanyan and Yueyue to deliver a box of Beijing Eight Pieces to Aunt Mary's house next door.
Not long after, the two families next door came over. Aunt Mary brought some freshly made maple syrup for everyone to taste, and Hannah brought the cream pie she made in the afternoon. Luo Xuyan's English was average, but he could still communicate normally.
The two families did not stay long. They just came over to say hello after receiving the gifts. After chatting for a few words, the two families said goodbye and left.
As everyone was talking, they heard crying from upstairs. Luo Qiao was the first to rush upstairs: "Mom is here, Mom is here, the babies, stop crying."
Yanyan, who was following behind, was angry: "Mom, you are not allowed to call them little darlings. My sister and I are your little darlings."
Luo Qiao was amused: "Okay, okay, okay, stop yelling, you and your sister are the darlings."
The one who cried the loudest was the youngest son, which reminded her of the saying "The crying child gets the milk", which is absolutely true. This is normally the case. She would hold the one who cries the loudest first and feed him first.
This is a real drama queen. He stopped crying as soon as he was held. After feeding all the children in turn, he carried the children to the first floor. Luo Xuyan took three rolls of film before stopping.
While Luo Qiao was feeding the baby, Luo Xuyan had already taken his two nieces and grandpa and grandma to the front and back yards, and took a lot of photos in the house. He also took a lot of photos for the old couple of the Rong family and Gu Qianru and others.
Yanyan and Yueyue also called Michael over and took a few photos of the three of them. Yanyan shouted to Luo Xuyan, "Uncle, you have to take beautiful photos of us, or I will cry in front of you."
Everyone burst into laughter. This task was really arduous.
Luo Xuyan only stayed at Luo Qiao's place for one night and had to go back to New York after breakfast the next day. When he left, Grandma Luo brought him a lot of food to prevent him from getting used to the food here.
******** On the second day after Luo Qiao came out of confinement, she took a nice bath and felt refreshed.
Just as I tidied myself up, I heard someone knocking on the door, and my aunt Gu Qianru’s voice came: “Qiaoqiao, Xiao Jingyu is here.”
After Luo Qiao went downstairs, she asked, "How come you have time to come here today?"
Xiao Jingyu smiled and said, "I'm going back to China. Things here are almost done. My visa is about to expire. I've already chosen a place in New York and it's being renovated. It's expected to start trial operation on Christmas Day and officially open on New Year's Day."
Luo Qiao gave a thumbs up: "What a speed, what a great move."
All of Jinyuan’s stores are properties purchased by the company itself; none of them are rented. Most of the profits over the years have been used in this regard.
Xiao Jingyu laughed: "Isn't that what you said? In order to prevent the landlord from raising the price when he sees that the business is good, we have been strictly enforcing it."
Luo Qiao smiled faintly and said, "In the past few years, we have accumulated quite a lot of fixed assets."
Xiao Jingyu smiled and nodded: "It's all thanks to you, how is the acquisition of your manor going?"
Luo Qiao became serious: "Jinyuan in New York has opened, and the ingredients have to be delivered from Boston for the time being. The farm over there is building a greenhouse, and the people sent by Peng Mingdong just arrived a few days ago."
Xiao Jingyu also looked serious: "What are your plans next?"
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Luo Qiao said confidently: "Let's do this before the New Year. After the New Year, I will speed up the acquisition of farms in various states, and you can also open branches at the same time. However, the real strength of the company will be tested by then."
Xiao Jingyu looked amused: "It's like there's no place for you in the company."
Xiao Jingyu had lunch here before he was ready to leave. He stood up and took out six red envelopes: "This is what Yuchen and I gave to the three little ones. Fortunately, family planning is implemented now. Otherwise, with your birth rate, Yuchen and I would go bankrupt just on the gifts."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room burst into laughter.
Luo Qiao stood up and prepared to see him off: "Hey, this is something you can't envy, so stop being sour. If you find someone suitable, marry her quickly. If you delay any longer, no one will want her."
When Xiao Jingyu heard that he was being urged to get married again, he quickly raised the little white flag: "I surrender."
This expression amused everyone.
Gu Qianru has also become familiar with Xiao Jingyu during this period of time. She patted him with a smile and said, "Okay, you are really not young anymore. It would be strange if your family is not anxious."
Xiao Jingyu laughed and joked to himself: "I'm anxious too. The more anxious I am, the less likely I am to meet the right person."
Grandma Luo then said, "When destiny arrives, it will happen naturally. Who knows, maybe I'll meet a girl I like when I go back this time."
Xiao Jingyu’s face was full of smiles: “I’ll borrow your auspicious words.”
Seeing that he was still trying to act funny, Luo Qiao quickly interrupted him, "Okay, if you're any later, you won't be able to catch the bus. Are you going to wait for the next one?"
Xiao Jingyu picked up Yanyan and Yueyue who were standing on the side: "You two must not forget your uncle. If I come again, I will come to see you."
Yanyan and Yueyue nodded: "Okay, goodbye Uncle Jingyu, we can come to see you when we return to China."
Xiao Jingyu smiled and nodded: "It's good that you two have a conscience."
After putting the two little cuties down, he turned around and left reluctantly.
