After packing up my things, I left the Public Security Bureau.

I drove to Gu's house. I had called Gu's house before and told her that my grandfather had used the Chuanbei loquat paste she made, which was very effective. I had been too busy these days to have time to go back.

He turned a corner and bought ten roast ducks, thinking of leaving one for each of the children and grandpa, and giving the rest to Lu Yichen and the others as a snack.

When we arrived at Gu's house, Aunt Tang was pickling pickles. Seeing that it was Luo Qiao, she smiled and washed her hands before coming out: "Qiaoqiao, how come you have time to come here today?"

Luo Qiao smiled and said, "I went to the Municipal Bureau to deliver lunch to Yichen at noon, so I came over to see grandpa."

As he spoke, he handed over the roast duck in his hand and said, "Give grandpa an extra dish tonight."

Aunt Tang looked at the bag and said, "Grandpa is going to have a good meal tonight."

Luo Qiao didn't see Gu Qianru: "Aunt Tang, where is my aunt?"

Aunt Tang smiled mysteriously: "He went out with your father."

Luo Qiao said, "I understand." "I'll go see grandpa."

Aunt Tang nodded: "The old man is in the study."

I knocked on the door gently and heard someone say, "Come in."

Luo Qiao opened the door: "Grandpa, I came to see you."

The old man raised his head and looked back: "Why didn't you bring the children?"

Luo Qiao walked in with a smile: "I went to the bureau to deliver lunch to Yichen at noon. It's inconvenient to bring them along, and I'm afraid it will affect other people's work."

The old man motioned for her to sit down.

Luo Qiao put the dried fruits that she had prepared in advance on the table: "Grandpa, these dried fruits, you can eat a few when you are fine, they are good for your health."

The old man smiled and nodded, then poured Luo Qiao a cup of tea and put it on the table.

After tidying up the books on the table and putting them back on the bookshelf at the back, he suddenly thought of something and asked, "What do you think about your father and your aunt?"

Luo Qiao didn't expect the old man to ask this.

He took a sip of tea and said, "That depends on what they want. As long as they are willing, I will of course be happy to see it happen. They are all good people and they deserve happiness."

The old man was very pleased to hear Luo Qiao's words: "You are a very insightful child. I feel relieved when you say this."

The two chatted for a while, and Luo Qiao got up and prepared to go back. She had to deliver dinner to Lu Yichen in the evening, so she had to go back early to help Aunt Rong.

Luo Qiao teased Ji Lin on the phone before hanging up.

When I got home, Aunt Rong had already started getting ready, and Qi Ling was just returning from class with Yanyan and Yueyue.

Yanyan ran over and said, "Mom, the teacher said there will be a piano competition in Beijing next month and asked if we would like to participate."

Luo Qiao touched her daughter's hair and asked, "What do you mean?"

Yanyan looked at her sister behind her, and Yueyue came over: "The teacher said that based on our current level, we can compete for a place."

Luo Qiao laughed: "What a pair of little rascals, they both have an idea, but they still come to ask me."

Everyone laughed.

Luo Qiao pulled Yueyue into her arms and said, "If you want to participate, go ahead. Dad and Mom support you. Don't feel any pressure. Just think of it as enjoying a musical feast."

The two sisters looked at each other and nodded to their mother. Yanyan said, "Then you can call the teacher later and ask her to help us sign up."

Luo Qiao patted her two daughters on the shoulders and said, "Okay, I'll call now, you guys go play."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

I called the teacher directly to communicate the matter first, and then went into the kitchen to help Aunt Rong cook.

For dinner, I steamed rice and made braised pork, stewed meat with sauerkraut and vermicelli, and stir-fried rapeseed with mushrooms. After the meal was ready, I contacted Lu Yichen, only to find out that they had not returned to the bureau yet, and I was afraid that they would not be able to return for a while.

When he heard that they were still outside, which was about twenty miles away from Beijing, and that they might have to work all night, he told Luo Qiao not to worry about them and that he would leave food for them in the canteen when they returned to the bureau in the evening.

Luo Qiao knew that place. It was in the middle of nowhere. There used to be a factory there, but it went bankrupt and has been idle ever since. It was impossible to even find a place to eat a meal there.

Originally, I wanted to ask Qi Ling to deliver the food, but after thinking about it, I decided to do it myself. I asked Aunt Rong to cook two large pots of millet porridge, and borrowed a large thermos bucket from Sister Hu Lifang, who ran a restaurant at the corner of the alley. After everything was ready, I loaded the food into the car.

Qi Ling looked at Luo Qiao: "Sister-in-law, it's so late, I'll go."

Luo Qiao laughed: "It's okay, I'll go, I know the place."

The main reason was that she wanted to put the food and porridge in the space for a while. Otherwise, the food would be almost scattered and there would be nothing to eat.

The roast duck is still in the space. If I take it out now, it will be cold and inedible by the time I get there. It’s better for me to go there myself and find a place to put the food into the space when I go out.

Qi Ling was a little worried, so Luo Qiao sparred with him for a few rounds in the yard, which surprised him a lot.
