"Mrs. Hu is a grateful person. Let her be. The melons at the back are almost ripe. We'll send some to her later. It's good to have give and take."

"That's right. If you hadn't helped her back then, she wouldn't be living the life she has now. When her husband was alive, he took such good care of her and her daughter. Later, when there was no one to take care of them, they suffered a lot.

Those relatives were so afraid that they would get close to them that they almost cut off all ties with them in person. If they hadn’t listened to you and opened the restaurant, their lives would have been difficult.”

After listening to Aunt Rong's words, Luo Qiao thought of something: "Aunt, what other relatives does Sister Hu have?"

Aunt Rong was doing her work and said casually, "There is also an elder sister-in-law and two younger brothers-in-law. My parents-in-law died two years after their husband passed away. But I heard that people from my husband's family don't visit each other much now."

Luo Qiao finished drinking the sour plum soup in her hand and asked: "Is there anyone else in her family?"

Aunt Rong sighed, "I heard Mingfang say that she has two brothers, but since her husband got sick and came to borrow money but was rejected, she rarely comes to visit. Her parents passed away a few years ago."

Thinking of something, he added, "As for relatives, the less they visit each other, the less they are close. Fortunately, Mingfang Restaurant has been doing well in recent years, and now her children are grown up, so she has finally made it through."

Luo Qiao laughed: "By the way, that girl should be in high school now, right?"

Aunt Rong put down her work and said, "Yes, Gao Yi. I heard from Mingfang that the child's academic performance is very good. She also said that Gao Shunxin regards you as a role model."

Luo Qiao was surprised and asked, "Really?"

"Of course you did. When you helped her when we were little, Mingfang went home and told her daughter how good you were at studying. Unexpectedly, little Shunxin said that she wanted to be as good as you in the future."

Luo Qiao smiled slightly after hearing this: "He is an ambitious person."

"Well, he has been studying very hard, and this year he was admitted to the Affiliated High School of Peking University, but all the parents in our area are envious of him."

Luo Qiao somehow remembered the saying "Wine makes people famous, money moves people's hearts", and thought that the demolition would be another calamity for her and her daughter.

But later, she got busy and forgot about it.

The day before the National Day holiday, at the strong request of his children, Luo Qiao was ready to leave Lu Yichen behind and take his family to Beidaihe for a trip. But there was no other way as he was too busy at work to have time.

She called her second brother in advance and told him her thoughts.

Luo Xuyuan told her not to worry about it, as he would take care of everything. Luo Qiao felt it was great to have a brother.

Luo Qiao called the Gu family and asked them to get ready and go together.

Not long after, my aunt called me and said, "Qiaoqiao, your grandpa said he won't go with you to join in the fun, so I won't go either. I'll stay and take care of your grandpa."

Luo Qiao said, "We can drive there by ourselves, and my second brother will definitely arrange everything. Aunt, you can mobilize grandpa, and it will be good for his health to go out for a walk together."

Gu Qianru looked at her adoptive father sitting on the sofa and whispered, "Qiaoqiao, why don't you say a few words to grandpa."

Luo Qiao said 'hmm': "Okay, I'll talk to grandpa."

Gu Qianru handed the phone to the old man: "Dad, Qiaoqiao wants to talk to you."

The old man took the phone and said, "Qiaoqiao, grandpa won't go on this trip. I'm old now, and it will cause trouble to you if I don't go out."

Luo Qiao knew the old man's concerns and said, "Grandpa, don't you want to watch your grandchildren chasing and laughing on the beach in the sun, don't you want to accompany them to play in the sand? These will remain in their childhood memories. Don't you want to participate in their growth?"

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

The old man hesitated after hearing this. Luo Qiao continued, "I know you have been to Beidaihe many times, but this is the first time you go there with the children at home. This time, the whole family will go together. Grandpa, without you, we won't have fun."

The old man imagined the sunshine, beach, and laughter of his great-grandchildren that his granddaughter-in-law had described, and he was somewhat moved: "Okay, let's go together."

Luo Qiao laughed: "That's right, don't worry, Grandpa, I will definitely let you spend a different National Day."

Then the Luo family also received the notice. Luo Qiao even made a special call to her father. Unexpectedly, this time Luo Haotian, the father, readily agreed to go with them.
