Chapter 458: Chapter 458 Gifts

Stone chimed in, "Brother, hurry up and wash your hands to have some chicken soup."

As Lu Yichen parked his bicycle, he asked, "Where did the chicken come from?"

While serving Lu Yichen the soup, Luo Qiao replied, "I saw someone selling wild chickens when I went out today, so I bought one. Give it a try." She couldn’t possibly say it came from thin air, so that was her explanation.

After helping set the table with dishes, Lu Yichen finally sat down, took a sip of the chicken soup in front of him, and savored an indescribable fragrance that lingered between his lips and teeth for a long time.

Luo Qiao also took a sip, thinking that the products from her space were always of excellent quality. The chicken soup in the bowl was a perfect blend of color, aroma, and taste, rich and fresh, and she caught Stone’s look of utter enjoyment.

Feeling the gaze upon him, Stone looked up at Luo Qiao and smiled, saying, "It’s really delicious."

After they finished eating and cleaned up, Luo Qiao had a train to catch at ten o’clock that evening. The ticket was bought in advance by Lu Yichen. He originally thought of leaving Stone at home to study, but Stone insisted on going along to send off Luo Qiao.

By the time they arrived, ticket checking had already begun. Lu Yichen had purchased a standing ticket and accompanied her all the way to the platform. As she was about to board the train, he handed her his military sling bag.

Luo Qiao asked, somewhat puzzled, "What’s this?"

Lu Yichen replied, "I had someone bring some things for you."

With a whistle, the train clattered out of the station. Luo Qiao opened the military bag to find two boxes of chocolate and a new white blouse with a collar that had two straps tied into a pretty bow.

She wondered when he had found the time to prepare these clothes, but the style was simple, elegant, and not too stiff. It would probably look good on, especially since she had recently made herself a pair of black straight-leg pants that would go perfectly with this blouse.

After storing the items, she lay down to rest. When she awoke, she heard the train conductor announcing, "Passengers disembarking at Capital City, the train is about to arrive at the station. Please prepare to get off."

Luo Qiao quickly got up, entered the restroom under the guise of needing to use it, and slipped into her space to freshen up and tidy herself before returning to her berth to pack the things given by Lu Yichen into her carry-on, ready to disembark.

When she followed the crowd to the exit, she saw her third and fourth brothers waiting outside, warming her heart.

Luo Qiao called out loudly, "Third Brother, Fourth Brother, I’m back!"

Luo Siyuan raised his arm, "Qiaoqiao, Fourth Brother is here, right here."

As Luo Qiao approached, she asked her third brother, "Third Brother, how come you came to pick me up too? Did you get time off?"

Luo Siyan took Luo Qiao’s carry-on and said, "Your fourth brother called me last night, saying you would arrive this morning. I took leave yesterday and came directly from the military base this morning."

Luo Qiao smiled and said, "Then you must have started your journey early, you’ve worked hard Third Brother."

Luo Siyuan teasingly said, "So Fourth Brother didn’t work hard?"

Luo Qiao playfully scolded, "Fourth Brother, you just love teasing me. I’m hungry."

Upon hearing his sister was hungry, Luo Siyuan suggested, "Let’s go, there is a new breakfast place just ahead by the alley. I noticed it on my way here."

The three siblings went to the food stand, found a spot to sit, and ordered. Luo Qiao had soy milk, while Luo Siyuan and the others went for tofu pudding. They also got two baskets of buns and half a kilo of deep-fried dough sticks.

Luo Qiao had a small appetite. After finishing her soy milk and having one dough stick and half a bun, she was full. The remaining food was finished off by Luo Siyan and Luo Siyuan. After their meal, the three siblings took a car to the Mechanical Factory Residential Compound.

As soon as they entered the compound, many people came forward to greet them. By now, everyone in the compound knew about Deputy Director Luo’s divorce and quite a few were keen to play matchmaker for Luo Haotian, who regretfully made clear he had no intention of remarrying.

Once they got home, Luo Siyuan said, "Right, Qiaoqiao, about the phone number you wanted, I got it for you."

He had obtained two numbers: one for his neighbor’s telephone and the other for the community payphone. He pulled out a sheet of paper from under the phone cabinet and handed it to Luo Qiao.

Luo Qiao took it and immediately dialed Qingshan Village. The party secretary Gao Jiefang answered the call. She gave him the two phone numbers and mentioned that in a little over a month, someone would come to the village to purchase vegetables, advising the villagers to be attentive during this period.
