Chapter 385: Chapter 385: I’ve Thought of What New Year’s Presents to Give Everyone

Luo Qiao thought of something and asked, "Mom, are there any carpenters around here?"

Tiong Shulan said, "You’d have to ask your Auntie, I really don’t know. But we do know one where we live. What did you have in mind?"

Luo Qiao replied, "I’ve figured out what New Year gifts to give everyone, something economical and practical."

Song Huizhen laughed, "If you leave the courtyard and go forward, on the left side, there’s a house with a carpenter. He does good work and charges fair prices."

Luo Qiao looked at her Auntie, "What’s his name?"

Song Huizhen thought for a bit, "Seems his surname is Li, yes, it’s Li. Just go and ask for the carpenter Mr. Li, and everyone will know who you’re talking about. What kind of item you planning to make?"

Luo Qiao smiled, "That’s a secret, you all will find out in time."

Then she made Yuan Jianing comfortable on her seat while Yuan Jiayi and Yuan Jiaxing took pleasure in Yuan Jianing’s predicament. Sure enough, as soon the massage began, Yuan Jianing started crying out, startling Auntie Chen who was cooking in the kitchen, nearly causing her to cut herself.

Just at that moment, the men of the Yuan Family also returned home, including Yuan Jiahui and Yuan Jiawei, the eldest sons of the first and second branches, whom she had not met before.

After greeting the elders, Luo Qiao continued to massage Yuan Jianing’s shoulders and neck.

Yuan Jiawei headed straight towards Luo Qiao and laughed, "So this is Qiaoqiao? I’m your Big Brother, Yuan Jiawei."

As Yuan Jiahui, who was hanging up his coat nearby, called out, "Second Brother, can you show some shame? You’re already acting drunk without a drop of liquor."

Yuan Jianing said, "There they go again."

Luo Qiao whispered, "Is there a story behind this?"

Yuan Jiawei laughed, "I didn’t say anything wrong. In the second branch, am I not the big brother? Qiaoqiao is our second branch’s girl, is there anything wrong with her calling me Big Brother?"

Yuan Jiahui scoffed, "Then go get Grandpa to help you sort out the pecking order."

Yuan Jiawei walked over to Yuan Jiahui, suddenly threw his arm around his neck, and the two started scuffling, both with smiles on their faces.

Song Huizhen chuckled, "The two of you simmer down. Qiaoqiao doesn’t know about your old stories; don’t scare her."

The two finally let go of each other, and Yuan Jiawei said, "Big Brother, I’m staying with you tonight. We’ll do morning exercises together tomorrow."

Yuan Jiahui ignored Yuan Jiawei and went over to his two sisters, reaching out to touch the top of Yuan Jianing’s head but was intercepted halfway.

Yuan Jianing said, "Big Brother, I knew you were going to mess with my hair, hmph!"

Yuan Jiahui indulgently tapped Yuan Jianing’s forehead, then turned to Luo Qiao, "I’m Yuan Jiahui, your Big Brother."

Luo Qiao smiled faintly, "Hello Big Brother."

Yuan Jiawei then brought over a sailboat made from shell casings, "Qiaoqiao, this is a gift from your Second Brother."

Luo Qiao stopped massaging Yuan Jianing to receive the sailboat model, stretching out her hand, "Thank you, Second Brother. I really like it."

Yuan Jiahui also took a tank made from shell casings out of the bag he brought home and said, "Here, Big Brother made this for you."

Yuan Jianing, clutching her belly with laughter, said, "Big Brother, Second Brother, did you two coordinate your gifts? One a sailboat, the other a tank."

Luo Qiao was genuinely pleased, looking up with a smile, "Thank you, Big Brother. I love this gift."

Yuan Jiahui and Yuan Jiawei also sat down, with Yuan Jiahui saying, "Grandpa called to say you’ve returned to the Capital, and your Second Brother and I had been in intensive training and didn’t have time to prepare gifts. So, we had to make do with what was on hand."

Luo Qiao smiled, "Big Brother, Second Brother, I really love them, thank you."

Soon, Yuan Jiaming, the third brother, also arrived, carrying a bag in his hand. After greeting everyone, he handed something to Luo Qiao, "Qiaoqiao, this is for you."

Luo Qiao scratched her head and said, "Will Sister Jianing hit me later on?"

Yuan Jianing looked up and asked, "Why would I hit you?"

Yuan Jiaxing, who had been quiet on the side, said, "Because you fell out of favor."

After a moment’s thought, Yuan Jianing slapped her forehead and said, "Right, what if I fall out of favor? Qiaoqiao, you have to share your gifts with me."

Then the two of them started horsing around together, ending up in a laughing tangle on the sofa.
