Chapter 493: Chapter 493 Talking Drunk Chapter 493: Chapter 493 Talking Drunk After saying these words, Luo Siyan suddenly felt a sense of relief inside. Let the past be taken away by the wind, he thought, from now on, he and his siblings would surely ride the waves and forge ahead, living their most splendid lives.
Seeing the changing expressions on Luo Siyan’s face, everyone felt it wasn’t right to pry too much and asked, “Our second brother is taking the high school examination, this…?”
The person who said this was inwardly wondering how old the second brother was to be taking the high school examination.
“My second brother wasn’t feeling well before, but since my sister came back, she has helped to cure him, and that’s why he’s taking the high school examination this year.”
“Sorry, brother, we didn’t know much about your family situation before, so don’t be mad at us, okay?”
“No worries, I never told you about my family situation before. I have two twin brothers older than me, and a younger brother and sister. I’ll introduce them to you when there’s a chance.”
In the end, Luo Qiao also gave Luo Haotian a call, telling him about the second brother finishing his exams and that tomorrow, the five siblings planned to visit The Great Wall. Hearing this, Luo Haotian was taken aback, thinking the kids were going to leave him behind and have fun on their own.
After hanging up, he decided not to go out for dinner but to have someone bring back a meal instead. He started organizing the papers they would need, carefully checking for accuracy with the colleagues he was traveling with, then thought about giving them a pleasant surprise tomorrow if all went well.
After finishing the call, Luo Qiao headed home with her second brother in the car. As she entered the yard, she shouted, “Grandma, we’re back!”
Zhou Guifang, hearing her granddaughter’s voice, got up from the kitchen and said with a smile, “Come on in. I’ve made you mung bean soup.”
As she busied herself with serving the soup to them, she didn’t ask how the exam went. She didn’t want to add pressure to her grandson but also had faith he would perform well.
Luo Qiao placed the roast duck on the stove: “Grandma, let’s have something good tonight to celebrate; our fourth brother will come over after work, and our third brother said he’ll be back too, but he’ll have dinner before he comes, just leave the door open for him.”
Hearing that everyone was going to be home, Zhou Guifang was overjoyed and said, “Good, good, good, let’s have a nice dinner tonight.”
Looking at the sky outside, she suggested, “Let’s have dumplings. There’s still a piece of meat you brought home yesterday; I hung it in the well—it doesn’t keep well in this heat.”
Luo Qiao chuckled, “That’s great; fourth brother will definitely be happy.”
Zhou Guifang laughed, “Of all my grandchildren, he’s the one with the sweetest tooth.”
They all laughed together after she said this.
As Luo Daoren returned home, he could hear laughter from the kitchen. Now that his two grandsons were independent, he had spare time on his hands. In the woods behind the house, he had found a plot like other families and planted some vegetables.
Hearing some noise, Luo Qiao went outside: “Grandpa, you’ve been to your little vegetable garden again.”
Luo Daoren, with a kind face, replied, “There’s not much to do when idle. The vegetables don’t grow very well in the forest, but we do get some produce. And don’t you say it, but our family’s veggies are the best.”
Luo Qiao, seeing her grandpa happy, let him be. After coming back for the May Day vacation, when she saw him starting a vegetable garden, she had asked Auntie Gao to send some seeds over from Qingshan Village, so at least there would be a reason for the good yield of their crop.
However, she didn’t get involved with the vegetable garden in the forest—vegetables nourished with her Special Ability would undoubtedly grow better than others, which could draw attention.
Everyone pitched in, and right when Luo Siyuan arrived from work, the dumplings were just being put into the pot. Luo Qiao also made a few side dishes. After setting aside a portion for her third brother, they all sat down together, eating and envisioning the future.
Luo Daoren, watching his energetic grandchildren, felt extremely gratified. That night, he even drank a bit too much and kept laughing. He even said to his wife in front of his grandchildren, “Guifang, you’ve had it hard all these years, but it seems our hardships have finally turned to blessings.”
Zhou Guifang, looking at her husband, smiled and spoke, “Look at your grandpa, so happy he’s talking nonsense. But he’s right, from now on, our family will only get better.”
After putting Grandpa to bed and helping Grandma with the dishes, Luo Qiao hugged her from behind, resting her chin on her grandmother’s shoulder: “Grandma, you and Grandpa have had it hard these years.
Now that Big Brother and second brother have recovered and found their own life goals, we will all take good care of you and Grandpa.”
