When they got home, Wei Jun said, "This car is prepared for sister-in-law, it just so happens that Qiao Hua and I were planning this, and I received Brother Lu’s call on the way back, which was exactly what we were thinking."
Luo Qiao nodded: "Okay, then keep it. It’s convenient to go out now. You can drive back first, just bring it over tomorrow morning."
While they were talking, He Qing opened the courtyard gate: "Sister-in-law, you’ve finally come back."
Luo Qiao felt a bit embarrassed: "From now on, you don’t need to wait for me. I am planning to come back for the Spring Festival, so in these months, I might always be in this state."
Looking up at He Qing, she asked, "Is there any ginger soup?"
"Yes, yes, Rong Daniang has prepared it long ago."
Luo Qiao turned to Wei Jun and said, "Come in and have a bowl of ginger sugar water before you leave. You’ve waited so long today, you must be frozen."
Wei Jun did not hold back and had two bowls of ginger sugar water before driving away.
Luo Qiao asked He Qing to rest, then after washing up, she first went to check on her two daughters, tucked them in properly, then turned off the bedside lamp and left the room.
Back in her own bedroom, the three little ones were sleeping soundly, with barriers raised by the bedside, Luo Qiao just watched her sons for a while without disturbing their sleep.
The next morning, before Luo Qiao woke up, Yanyan and Yueyue rushed in, "Mommy, let’s build a snowman together."
The two girls climbed onto the bed, pressing onto her, Yanyan kissed Luo Qiao’s face, "Mommy, what time did you come back last night? I was planning to wait for you in bed, but I fell asleep without realizing."
Yueyue snuggled into Mom’s blankets, "Mommy, the snow outside has stopped, let’s build a snowman together."
Luo Qiao kissed her two daughters, "Okay, Mommy will get up now, and we will build a snowman together."
The three of them caused such a fuss, the three little guys on the opposite bed woke up too, Xiao Ye was the first to call out, "Mommy, hold."
Then the other two also climbed out of their blankets.
Luo Qiao hurriedly got up and gathered the three little ones onto her own bed, making it even livelier on the bed, all wanting to be in Mommy’s arms.
In Luo Qiao’s arms with three little ones, Yueyue at her back, Yanyan not being able to get close to Mommy, directly lay on top of her, everyone was laughing and playing.
Rong Daniang and He Qing came up to finally rescue her.
After washing and changing clothes, the little ones went downstairs and upon seeing the snow outside, they clapped their hands: "Build a snowman, build a snowman."
The three little ones also wanted to go out, but Luo Qiao stopped them, asking Elder Rong to move the lounge bed under the window, letting the three little ones stand on it and lean on the windowsill to look outside.
She turned to Elder Rong and said, "Elder Rong, please accompany these three mischievous ones inside."
With He Qing’s help, it wasn’t long before they built a big snowman, went to the kitchen to find two small black can lids for eyes, also found a carrot for a nose, and took a long strip of soaked kelp as a scarf, even found a broom for the snowman to hold.
Everyone was smiling happily looking at the completed snowman.
Rong Daniang called everyone in to eat, and Wei Jun also brought the car over at this time.
Luo Qiao said to her two daughters, "Eat quickly, today Mom will take you to kindergarten."
The two sisters cheered, Yanyan carefully asked, "Mom, will you pick us up today?"
Seeing her daughter looking so cautious, Luo Qiao felt a pang of heartache, realizing she had indeed been too busy. Usually, their school runs are mostly handled by He Qing, and they probably knew that Mom was busy and never asked for favors.
Luo Qiao patted her daughter’s head, reminded of the future saying, "Mom, if you don’t spend time with me, I will grow up."
She replied, "Okay, today Mom will pick you up for school."
Yanyan and Yueyue cheered again, "Thank you, Mommy."
"Alright, eat quickly, otherwise we’ll be late."
The kindergarten and school were in different directions, so they needed to leave home early.
Rong Daniang uneasily saw them to the door, "Qiaoqiao, be very careful driving in the snow."
She also instructed the little ones, "No horsing around in the car, don’t distract Mommy."
She watched the car turn the corner before she returned to the yard.
