Chapter 1601: Chapter 1601: As You Command, My Dear Wife
After eating, Lu Yixuan still had things to do, so he parted ways with them.
Luo Qiao took them to the place where they had arranged to meet Taifeng, who was already waiting there, his face full of smiles upon seeing his younger brother and sister coming over.
Recently, he got quite tanned from training, and when he smiled, all you could see were his white teeth, which looked very delightful.
Yanyan had met African Americans before in Boston: “Brother Taifeng, you’re almost like a black person now.”
Luo Qiao patted Xiao Ye’s shoulder beside her: “When you guys came back from your uncle’s during the summer, you were almost as tanned as Brother Taifeng.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ye covered his face: “Next time, I won’t listen to them. The sunscreen you prepared for me, Mom, went to waste. They said using that stuff is too girly.”
The soldiers with Lu Guo also laughed after hearing Xiao Ye’s words.
Taifeng took everyone for a walk around the training grounds and played chase with his younger siblings for a while.
Luo Qiao saw it was getting late and said to the kids, “Alright, it’s time for us to go. Your brother will have to attend the afternoon training soon.”
The younger ones were a bit reluctant, as they hadn’t seen each other for nearly three months.
Only then did Taifeng promise: “I’ll get some time off soon. Once I have a break, I’ll come back and take you all ice skating.”
Upon hearing about the ice skating, the kids were delighted. Although they were reluctant to part, they still waved goodbye to their brother and left with Luo Qiao.
When they got home, Luo Qiao received a call from Lu Yichen: “Qiaoqiao, I ran into an old classmate today. He invited me to try some private home cuisine, so I’ll be back late. You don’t have to wait for me for dinner.”
Luo Qiao asked, “Do I know this old classmate of yours?”
Lu Yichen laughed softly: “Do you want to come and meet them?”
Luo Qiao snorted: “Don’t start with me. I also have many classmates in Capital City whom I can ask out for a meal. It’s not like I’m the only one without classmates.”
Lu Yichen stopped laughing: “Can’t take a joke, huh? It’s Zhou Qingxiang. I ran into him while running errands today, and he suggested catching up over a meal. It’d be rude to refuse.”
Luo Qiao softly said, “Okay. Don’t drink too much. Take a taxi there, so you don’t drive if you drink too much.”
Lu Yichen laughed: “As you command, my dear wife. I’ll check it out first, and if the private home cuisine is good, I’ll take you there next time.”
He had heard from Zhou Qingxiang earlier and knew there would be others tonight, so he didn’t want his wife to feel uncomfortable.
If the private home cuisine is good, he could always bring his wife and kids there another time.
After hanging up the phone, Luo Qiao went to the kitchen to help Rong Daniang.
Seeing that Elder Rong and Rong Daniang didn’t look right, she asked, “What’s wrong with you two?”
Elder Rong didn’t say a word, just continued with his tasks as if he’d received some blow.
Only then did Rong Daniang speak up: “Elder Xu passed away, and your Elder Rong feels upset. Don’t worry.”
Luo Qiao asked, “When did this happen?”
Rong Daniang sighed: “By the time your Elder Rong went to deliver lunch at noon, he was already cold.”
Luo Qiao thought, “The children must be so negligent. How upset must the elder have been at the end?”
Seeing Elder Rong’s unhappy face, Luo Qiao quietly asked, “Is there something else? Elder Rong looks like he’s angry.”
Rong Daniang dished out the food and said quietly, “You have no idea how inconsiderate the children were today.”
Luo Qiao looked at Rong Daniang, waiting for more details.
