Chapter 123: Chapter 123: Thank you all for not giving up on me

Luo Qiao said, "Aunties, since I, Luo Qiao, came to our Qingshan Village and received such kindness from everyone, who offered me a place to live and establish myself, I am truly grateful.

I’ve been striving to integrate into our big family, so I’m really happy to be able to do something for the village, and you really don’t need to treat me like an outsider."

Luo Qiao didn’t want to drag the conversation out any longer, so she walked over to Li Xiulan’s basket, picked up an egg, and then went over to Zhou Xiaomei and took another egg from her basket.

She then said, "Life is hard for everyone, I’ll accept these two eggs to acknowledge the gesture.

It’s getting late and soon it’ll be time for breakfast and work, so I won’t keep you all any longer. Do come over and visit when you have time."

Kong Baoru said, "Fair and square, Luo Qiao is a good girl, knows how to handle things. Let’s disperse now, everyone should head home for breakfast."

After seeing everyone out the door, Luo Qiao returned to the kitchen to check on her porridge, thankful that she had added a piece of firewood earlier, otherwise the porridge would have certainly boiled over.

There was plenty of stuffing left over from yesterday, so she could make filled buns today, and that would save on vegetables.

In no time, a small basin of buns was ready; there is indeed a benefit to having a big pot.

Lu Yichen came over and looked at Luo Qiao, "You weren’t scared this morning, were you?"

Luo Qiao replied, "Scared, not really, but those people are quite amusing. It’s like they were competing to see who could do more. If it weren’t for someone squeezing Li Xiulan, I doubt this morning’s scene would’ve happened."

Lu Yichen laughed, "You handled it very well today."

As Luo Qiao carried the food out, she said, "It’s been a while since all that happened. If they really intended to apologize, they would have come sooner. But I really dare not accept their gifts; even the few vegetables they brought, I have more than enough growing in my backyard."

Lu Yichen chuckled, "Indeed, your vegetables are even tastier than theirs."

Luo Qiao turned her head with a mischievous smile and said, "Of course, you should see who grew them."

Lu Yichen had a smile on his face; the girl’s confident and slightly proud expression was simply amusing.

"Eat up quickly. Today’s porridge is overcooked and has turned sticky and too soft. I prefer porridge with a bit more bite to it."

Lu Yichen didn’t express an opinion, but he made a mental note that the girl didn’t like her porridge overcooked and too soft.

After finishing their meal, Lu Yichen asked, "Do you have any messages for Stone?"

Luo Qiao thought for a moment, "No, let’s just go with what we discussed yesterday. Considering how things turned out this morning, if I really had to face it myself, I honestly wouldn’t be able to handle it. You should do it."

The curve of Lu Yichen’s mouth indicated that he was in a good mood, "So you mean to say you agree to join us for meals?" He finished speaking and waited to see the girl’s reaction.

Luo Qiao retorted, "Do I have a choice not to?"

Lu Yichen shook his head.

Luo Qiao rolled her eyes.

After seeing off Lu Yichen, Luo Qiao cleaned up the kitchen. Looking at the bowl she was presently using, she decided she needed to take some time in the next few days to buy some more bowls. The one she was using was practically an antique.

She would be heartbroken if it accidentally broke. Besides, Lu Yichen kept staring at that bowl during his meal; she wondered if he had noticed something special about it.

It was okay for her to use it when eating alone, but she couldn’t continue to bring it out if both Stone and Lu Yichen were going to dine here. Better to get some new ones sooner rather than later to avoid trouble.

After locking up, she went to the riverside to wait for work assignments, holding the pair of knitted gloves Auntie Gao had given her. Just last night, Lu Yichen had given her several pairs, mentioning that the farm station distributes them every quarter.
