When the two returned home, as expected, some people had already returned. The two brothers Yuan Jiayi and Yuan Jiaxing had returned first.

Yuan Jiayi took out a pen from his bag and handed it to Luo Qiao: "This is a gift from Fourth Brother. Open it and see if you like it."

Luo Qiao took it and opened the box. Inside was a Hero fountain pen. It was not cheap, costing 18 yuan. She looked up and said, "Fourth brother, this pen is not cheap. Did you spend all your private money?"

Yuan Jiayi smiled and said, "To be honest, this pen is not cheap, but I can't give my sister something that is too cheap. This pen can be used for a long time. Fourth brother also thought about it for a long time before deciding. You can use this pen to take the exam and return to Beijing. It will be very meaningful."

Luo Qiao looked at the pen in her hand and said, "Okay, I'll take it. Thank you, Fourth Brother."

I thought to myself that this gift was a token of my fourth brother’s love, and I would repay him double in the future.

Yuan Jianing said from the side: "Fourth brother, you are really biased."

Yuan Jiayi reached out and ruffled Yuan Jianing's hair, then said, "Ningning, you really have no conscience. Fourth Brother didn't give you enough. I spent half of my little private money on you, and now you're jealous of this pen."

Yuan Jianing quickly dodged: "Oh, Fourth Brother, you're rubbing my hair again."

After her hair was done, she chuckled, "I was just joking with you, Fourth Brother. How could you be jealous of Qiaoqiao? With Qiaoqiao, you also have two sisters, right, Fourth Brother?"

Yuan Jiayi said: "That's about right."

As soon as these words fell, Zhang Shulan's voice was heard from outside the courtyard: "Sister-in-law, why are you late today?"

Song Huizhen said, "I have been so busy in the bureau these past few days that I wanted to use women as men and men as mules. Finally, it is done. I can have a day off tomorrow."

Yuan Jianing took her mother's bag and carried it upstairs. Luo Qiao poured two glasses of water and brought them over, saying, "Aunt, godmother, have some water."

Zhang Shulan took it with a smile: "Qiaoqiao, didn't we agree on this last time? You have to remove the word 'gan'. From now on, you are my daughter."

Luo Qiao smiled and said, "Mom."

Zhang Shulan heard this and said, "Oh, that's right. I have a daughter now. The day after tomorrow, when mom is resting, I will take you to the department store for a tour."

Luo Qiao sat down next to Zhang Shulan and said, "Mom, I have a lot of clothes. I went to the south last month and bought a lot of them. I'm still growing."

Zhang Shulan smiled and said, "Then let's not buy ready-made clothes. Let's see if there are any better fabrics. You can take measurements and have the clothes tailored when spring comes."

Seeing how enthusiastic Zhang Shulan was, Luo Qiao was afraid that she had to go, so she said, "Okay then."

Song Huizhen was there, massaging her shoulders. Luo Qiao stood up and walked over: "Aunt, come here, sit down, I'll massage your shoulders and neck for you."

Luo Qiao first asked her to sit on a stool, and then massaged her shoulders and neck. After a few minutes, Luo Qiao asked, "How does it feel?"

Song Huizhen said: "It was a little painful at first, but now it feels so comfortable."

Luo Qiao thought that the meal would be ready soon, so she said, "Aunt, let's leave it like this for now. Before you go to bed tonight, I'll give you a full body massage. I guarantee you'll wake up refreshed tomorrow."

Song Huizhen said: "Don't mention it, my shoulders and neck are really relieved and not sore anymore. It really works."

Zhang Shulan laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, you are exaggerating. How long has it been?"

Luo Qiao smiled and said, "Come, Mom, come sit over here too and try my method to see if my aunt is exaggerating."

Zhang Shulan sat on the stool and said at the beginning: "It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, be gentle."

After waiting for a few minutes, Zhang Shulan said, "Sister-in-law, you are not exaggerating. My God, when Qiaoqiao comes back, I will make an appointment for a massage in advance."

Luo Qiao smiled and said, "In a few years, I will open a health club. You can go there and enjoy free VIP services then."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Zhang Shulan laughed and said, "Haha, OK, then Mom will be waiting. Oh, by the way, I understand free, but what does VIP mean?"

Luo Qiao smiled and said, "It's the VIP."

Zhang Shulan laughed and said, "Okay, then Mom will follow my daughter from now on."

Everyone in the living room burst into laughter.

Yuan Jianing also came over: "Qiaoqiao, I want to try it too. Seeing how my mom and Second Aunt are enjoying it, is it okay?"

Luo Qiao smiled and said, "Okay, just stop howling like a ghost for a while."

Yuan Jianing said: "No, no, I just want to experience it."

After the massage, Zhang Shulan said, "If I had been lying on the bed for the massage, I would have fallen asleep a long time ago."
