Chapter 1060: Chapter 1060: Let’s Pass on the Love

Luo Qiao watched as the visitors left, then closed the front door and led the children inside. Since there weren’t any toys around, she found some paper and pencils to teach them how to read.

By the time Lu Yiting had stepped through the door, Lu Yichen had also arrived. Luo Qiao smiled and said, "Just in time. I’ll set the table, and you both go wash your hands."

After they had sat down, Luo Qiao had also arranged the bowls and chopsticks. She served a bowl of rice to Lu Yiting first, "Eat up; most of these dishes are suitable for pregnant women."

It was then that Lu Yiting asked, "Sister-in-law, where’s Auntie Li?"

Luo Qiao had just sat down and picked up her chopsticks, "Her eldest son came back with his family for a visit, so I gave her time off to go home and spend the reunion New Year with them."

Lu Yiting then said, "I was wondering; I haven’t seen her around all morning."

Luo Qiao picked up some vegetables with her chopsticks, "After work today, your brother will pick you up from your office. You’ll stay with us for the night, and Xiangrui will surely return tomorrow. Give him a call later and have him pick you up from our place."

Lu Yiting nodded, "Okay, thank you, sister-in-law."

Using serving chopsticks, Luo Qiao placed some meat into her bowl, "What’s there to thank? Looking after you is only right."

Lu Yichen, seeing his wife only caring for the children and his sister, quickly added a piece of meat to her bowl, "Eat up; the dishes will get cold soon."

Lu Yiting, observing how her second brother treated his wife, couldn’t help but laugh, "Second sister-in-law, look how good my second brother is to you. He only has eyes for you."

Luo Qiao glanced at Lu Yichen and replied with a smile, "Is your second brother not good to you?"

Lu Yiting surrendered laughingly, "I admit defeat; truly no match for you."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Yanyan asked with a smile, "Aunt, when is uncle coming back?"

Lu Yiting reached out to pat Yanyan’s head, "He’ll be back tomorrow. Why, Yanyan, have you suddenly thought to ask about your uncle?"

Yanyan blinked her big eyes, "When uncle comes back, Aunt won’t have to be jealous of my mom anymore."

Luo Qiao laughed at her daughter, "What a little rascal with devilish wit."

After the meal, Lu Yiting packed up the things she needed to take with her and placed them in Lu Yichen’s car, then she called Kong Xiangrui to tell him she’d be at her second brother’s house tomorrow for him to pick her up.

After locking the door, Lu Yichen first dropped off Lu Yiting at her workplace, watched her enter, and then drove Luo Qiao and their two daughters home.

Once home, he set down his sister’s belongings, did not even have time for a sip of water, and immediately headed back to work at the bureau.

Back at the house, Luo Qiao saw the dozen or so flowerpots in the second entrance and nodded with satisfaction. Just before, while Lu Yichen was moving things, she had taken the opportunity to bring down quite a few flower seedlings, clearing the way for the New Year.

She directed Yanyan and Yueyue to play with building blocks, while she prepared with Elder Rong and Rong Daniang to transplant the plants into pots.

In the autumn, Elder Rong had collected a good amount of pine needle soil from the mountains. Luo Qiao asked him to bring a few bags over and planted two orchids, one Clivia, one azalea, and one camellia.

Normally, azaleas wouldn’t bloom in the winter, but the one Luo Qiao moved from the space had already developed buds, and one or two flowers had even bloomed. If displayed during the New Year, it would certainly be a treat for the eyes.

The Clivia and the camellias had entered their flowering season, truly captivating, with two Clivia blooms radiating their beauty. Breathing in their faint fragrance, she thought of the verse, "The orchids in their vases, fragrant and serene."

Gazing at the several pots of plants that had been successfully transplanted, a smile found its way to her face. She really was somewhat reluctant to part with them, oh, to sell them, haha!

She asks Elder Rong to help her clear out the remaining items and waters the flowers before moving them to a spot where the sunlight could reach them, allowing them to photosynthesize.

Brewing a pot of tea for herself, she waits for the flower pickers to arrive.

What she hadn’t anticipated was Zhou Zhongyuan coming personally, knowing he was busy, so she leads him straight to the room where the flowers were kept. It’s only upon seeing the flowers inside that Zhou Zhongyuan understood what "top quality" really meant.

In the end, he selected a pot of orchid, a pot of Clivia, and a pot of azalea. He was quite taken with the pot of camellia too, but alas, he hadn’t brought enough money and felt embarrassed to fall into debt.

Watching his longing gaze, Luo Qiao laughed and said, "You can take that camellia with you first and have someone bring the money over later."

Zhou Zhongyuan felt somewhat embarrassed as he said, "That’s really kind of you, thank you."

Worried about the flowers getting cold, Luo Qiao finds an old blanket, cuts it up to wrap around the flowers, and then covers them with a layer of plastic film, urging them to leave quickly so the flowers wouldn’t freeze on the way.

Looking at the stacks of money in her hand, she turns to her two happily playing daughters and says, "Yanyan, Yueyue, mommy’s going to take you to a place."

After dressing the children, she calls Stone and Taifeng, asking them to meet at the department store, and calls Kong Xianglin, who, through his connections, arranges for the department store to prepare lots of candy, cakes, sunflower seeds, peanuts, and many clothes.

By the time they arrive, the department store has nearly finished their preparations, including a discount. Luo Qiao smiles and thanks them.

Then she has the driver head to the grain station and loads up a considerable amount of grain; after all, the money she’d just earned from selling the flowers was now completely spent.

Stone, puzzled, asks, "Sis, what are we buying all this stuff for?"

Luo Qiao smiles and says, "The New Year is coming, and we’re sending a little love to the children at the welfare institution."

She always felt that having the chance to live again and to have such great fortune was a blessing from the heavens, and it wouldn’t be right to do nothing. She aimed to do whatever she could.

She wanted Stone, Taifeng, and her daughters to participate and learn to appreciate and be grateful, to plant seeds of kindness in their hearts so that they would grow up to be honest and kind people.

Luo Qiao hadn’t notified the welfare institution in advance, and when they arrived, there happened to be reporters interviewing there. Seeing Luo Qiao and her group bringing gifts, the reporters wanted an interview, but Luo Qiao graciously declined.

Nevertheless, the photographers took some pictures and planned to report on it the next day, as such individual acts of kindness were worth learning from for the citizens.

Seeing the photographers snapping photos, Luo Qiao negotiates with them for a while. She doesn’t oppose the reporting - it might even encourage more citizens to send their warmth, helping the welfare institution’s children have a better time. However, she didn’t want them revealing her and her children’s information; they preferred to do their work quietly.

The welfare institution was worried about the difficulties of the approaching festive period, but upon seeing such a large supply of goods, smiles emerged on everyone’s faces, and their gratitude was immense.

Luo Qiao, along with the children, spent some time playing with the children at the institution. Once everything was unloaded from the car, the excited director of the welfare institution came over to express his thanks, "We’re truly grateful."

The director announced to the children, "This comrade has donated food and clothing to our welfare institution, so we can have a good New Year. Let’s give her a round of applause to show our gratitude."

Applause erupted, and gratefulness shone in the children’s eyes.

Luo Qiao, however, raises her hands to quiet them down, "You don’t need to thank me, I’ve only done what I could. I just hope that when you grow up and are capable, you’ll give back to society within your means, and let us pass on this love."
