Luo Qiao said: "He has something to do and can't come over at noon today, so there's no need to wait for him."

How could Zhang Shulan not know what Luo Siyuan was thinking? "Why don't you send him a portion? The food is ready."

Luo Qiao said, "No need, just let him be. I even brought him some roast duck."

Luo Qiao thought of something and said, "Mom, there is also a roast duck in the bag. I forgot to tell you."

Zhang Shulan said, "I saw it when I was sorting it out just now. I asked them to have some snacks with wine in the evening. I cooked a lot of dishes for lunch, and they still have to work in the afternoon and can't drink."

Luo Qiao smiled and said, "Mom will arrange it."

After that, Yuan Weihan and Zhou Wanfeng came in together. Zhou Wanfeng came in and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm here to eat again today."

Zhang Shulan stood up and said with a smile: "Why are you being polite? Wash your hands and we're ready to eat."

Then he quickly put the things in order: "Qiaoqiao, Xiaomin, come and help."

Luo Qiao and Zhou Xiaomin said in unison: "Here we come."

After Yuan Weihan and Zhou Wanfeng washed their hands, the food was served on the table. Luo Qiao asked, "Mom, isn't Fifth Brother coming back for lunch?"

Zhang Shulan said, "He will take the college entrance examination next year, and the school is very strict. Your father has arranged for him to stay in the dormitory this semester. He will come back every Saturday night and leave on Monday morning."

Luo Qiao said somewhat disappointedly: "Then I won't be able to see Fifth Brother this time."

Zhang Shulan said: "Tomorrow is Saturday, and he will be back tomorrow night."

Luo Qiao said, "I have to leave tomorrow morning. The train is at 2pm."

Zhang Shulan was anxious: "Why can we only stay for one night? Doesn't that mean......"

She really couldn't say any more, so Yuan Weihan said with a smile, "Then you can't show off Qiaoqiao everywhere, right?"

Zhang Shulan was touched by what she was thinking, and said uncomfortably, "It just shows how smart you are."

Luo Qiao quickly said, "Next year when I go back to Beijing to study, I will come here often."

Yuan Weihan looked at Luo Qiao sympathetically and said, "Go ahead. You have to pass this level anyway."

Zhang Shulan smiled and said, "Of course, I finally have a daughter, so of course I have to bring her to meet them, so that they won't always say that I'm bragging behind my back."

Yuan Weihan nodded: "Eat, eat, I'll wash the dishes later, you guys just do your thing."

Zhang Shulan picked up a piece of fish for Luo Qiao and Zhou Xiaomin respectively. Luo Qiao thanked her and took a bite: "Well, Mom, your cooking skills have improved a lot."

Yuan Weihan then explained: "I learned a lot from you guys in the compound before, and I have practiced hard since I came back. The results are quite good, and you are almost surpassing me."

Zhou Wanfeng asked, "From what you said, Luo Qiao is a good cook?"

Zhang Shulan spared no effort to praise her: "Qiaoqiao's cooking is really delicious, otherwise I wouldn't have improved so quickly in cooking. She taught me a lot in the compound before."

Luo Qiao smiled and said, "I will be the chef tonight, and Uncle Zhou and Xiao Min will also try my cooking skills."

Zhou Wanfeng laughed and said, "Haha, okay, okay, we father and daughter will not be polite tonight, but let Xiao Min go and pack some food in the afternoon. You can't object to this, otherwise we will be embarrassed to come over."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

In the afternoon, Zhang Shulan took Luo Qiao and Zhou Xiaomin to visit several stores. After showing off enough, she took them to buy ingredients for dinner.

The family compound was in an uproar. Everyone talked about the goddaughter of Commander Yuan. "She's pretty and polite. No wonder Zhang Shulan kept saying how good her goddaughter is."

"I heard that Commander Yuan and the boys from the Yuan family are very nice to this girl."

"This girl is so lucky. This is like a carp jumping over the dragon gate."

Of course, there are people who are jealous and say things like, "You have too much money and don't know where to spend it, so you have to support someone else's daughter. If you want to support someone, you can just find one in the family compound, why do you have to find one outside?"

The person who said this did not mean to say it, just to make himself feel good, but the listener took it seriously. A little girl of eight or nine years old who was not far behind them heard this and had some more thoughts in her mind.
