CHAPTER 1552: CHAPTER 1552: I HIDE THE FOOD FIRST, THEN SAVE YOU

The old lady asked anxiously, "Director Luo, is my grandson alright?"

"It’s not very serious. You’d better keep a closer watch on the child from now on."

Quickly, Luo Qiao brought the child back to the Gu family, washed him with cold water, wrapped him with a wet, clean towel for a while, and applied some burn cream she made herself.

After helping to take care of him, she said to the old lady, "If you’re still worried, you can take him to the hospital for a check-up."

The old lady kept expressing her gratitude, "How could I not trust you? If you say he’s fine, then he’s definitely fine."

Luo Qiao said to the little boy, whose face was still streaked with tears, "You mustn’t be so reckless in the future. You were lucky this time."

The little boy must have been frightened too, nodding repeatedly, "I won’t dare anymore. Thank you, Auntie."

Seeing everything was okay, the auntie took out money to pay for the medicine, but Luo Qiao stopped her, "Auntie, we’re neighbors; it’s good to help each other. How can I take the money?"

After thanking her several times, she left with her grandson.

Luo Qiao went into the kitchen to help Auntie Tang, but just then, her phone rang in her pocket.

"Hello, who’s this?"

"Qiaoqiao, it’s me."

"Mom, why are you calling?"

"Qiaoqiao, can you go to the department store with me this afternoon? I want to buy some gifts for them."

"Sure, do you need me to come pick you up?"

"No need, let’s meet at the entrance of the new shopping center at 2:30."

"Alright, see you later."

After hanging up, Luo Qiao thought to herself, hoping the Han family were nice people; otherwise, recognizing such relatives would be worrisome for Dad.

Lu Ran ran to the kitchen saying he wanted to eat shrimp, so Luo Qiao made three dishes: fried, braised, and boiled.

It made Lu Ran very happy.

He ran over and hugged Luo Qiao’s arm, "Thank you, Second Aunt."

Luo Qiao laughed, "Such a small wish, Second Aunt can still make it come true for you."

Then they heard Kong Mingyang’s voice coming in, "First Aunt, Second Aunt, what tasty thing did you make? I could smell it from Grandma’s house."

Lu Ran grabbed the rushing Xiao Mingyang and hugged him, "Did you grow a dog’s nose? As soon as something delicious is made, you smell it."

Xiao Mingyang tried hard but couldn’t escape his cousin’s clutches, "First Aunt, save me."

Wang Xiaoxin laughed and said, "Hold on a little longer, I’ll hide the food first, then I’ll save you."

This made Luo Qiao burst into laughter, and the kids in the yard doubled over with laughter too.

Xiao Mingyang felt hurt, "First Aunt, don’t you love me anymore?"

Wang Xiaoxin handed a small bowl to him, "Can this answer for me?"

Xiao Mingyang saw the shrimp in the bowl, "Yes, yes, yes, I knew First Aunt loves me."

Luo Qiao said, "I don’t know who you take after; that little mouth of yours is really articulate."

After eating, Luo Qiao greeted the children and drove out.

At the new shopping center, she saw her dad was there too, "Dad, why are you here?"

"I came to drop off your mom, and besides, if you buy anything later, won’t someone need to carry it?"

Luo Qiao nodded with a smile, "Yeah, that makes sense."

Gu Qianru gave a light cough, "I told him he didn’t need to come, but he wouldn’t listen."

They entered the department store, and Gu Qianru said, "I don’t quite know what to choose."

Luo Qiao suggested, "We can buy pens or scarves. Later, I can prepare some tea, or let’s take a walk around and see if there’s anything more suitable."

Gu Qianru nodded, "Alright, let’s walk around. If there’s nothing better, we’ll just buy a few scarves. Forget about pens; if you buy cheap ones, people might disdain them, and expensive ones aren’t suitable right now. I haven’t even given your dad a good pen, so why give them to others?"

Luo Qiao laughed, "Then let’s give tea; you can’t go wrong with that for anyone."

Luo Haotian laughed, "Good tea isn’t cheap either, and it’s gone once you drink it."

Gu Qianru laughed, "Might as well let our daughter earn the money instead of someone else."

Luo Haotian glanced at Luo Qiao, "Are you sure you want her to earn money, and not just take advantage of her?"
