Chapter 671: Chapter 671: Visiting My Cousin

After washing up and getting ready in her space, Luo Qiao finally went downstairs with a basket and headed out. She thought of strolling around the morning market to see if there were any rare delicacies.

At the entrance of the market, she saw fried sausages for sale, got two portions, and, recalling how Grandpa had mentioned them before, decided it was her first time seeing such a thing. She planned to take them home for Grandpa to try.

Noticing a stall selling fried cakes nearby and knowing that Grandma loves them, she bought a few and had them neatly packed.

On the way home, she found a secluded spot to take out two black fish, a grass carp, and over thirty eggs, as well as a pound of white sugar and a pound of brown sugar.

When she returned home, Grandma was already up. Seeing Luo Qiao come in from the outside with a basket in hand, she knew the girl must have gone to the morning market.

Luo Qiao approached her, "Grandma, stew a black fish to nourish Sister Jialin and my sister-in-law."

Zhou Guifang certainly understood her granddaughter’s intentions. If the fish were brought over directly, Jialin might not get to eat much of it, but it would be different if it were cooked.

Glancing at the contents of the basket, she asked, "How come you bought so many fish?"

Luo Qiao replied, "Today we’ll stew one for my sister-in-law to nourish her, and also bring a thermos for Sister Jialin. The grass carp will be delivered to the Zheng Family so Jialin can get a taste too. We’ll have the other black fish braised for lunch.

I bought some eggs, and these should be kept by Sister Jialin herself. She can brew them with boiling water in her room, and no one else can object."

Zhou Guifang didn’t expect her young granddaughter to be so thoughtful.

They had an early lunch and, without tidying up afterward, the two of them prepared to leave with the items. Luo Xuyuan stood up, "Grandma, I’ll accompany you. It’s too hot and burdensome for you to carry all these things."

It was rare for her second brother to not have gone out. Luo Qiao smiled and said, "Grandma, let second brother come along. It’s better with a man in tow."

With that, Luo Qiao added two more watermelons to their haul: "Second brother, you carry this."

Upon arriving at the textile factory compound, someone asked Zhou Guifang, "Auntie, whose house are you visiting?"

Zhou Guifang naturally seized the opportunity to give her granddaughter credit: "We’re going to Zheng Daquan’s place; I’m the maternal grandmother of Zheng Zhiyuan’s daughter-in-law."

"Oh, you’re Jialin’s grandmother. You’re here to see Jialin," they remarked.

"Yes, with her pregnancy advancing, we’re here to check on her," she replied.

In the midst of conversation, they reached the entrance of the Zheng Family home. The woman who had been speaking called out to the courtyard, "Auntie Zheng, you have guests!"

The Zheng Family had just finished their meal. Seeing their relatives arriving, they hurriedly welcomed them into the yard. Luo Qiao handed over a watermelon and the grass carp to the Zhengs and took the rest of the items straight into her cousin’s room.

Hao Xiuyue, the mother-in-law, said, "Relatives, please take a seat. I’ll prepare some food for you."

Zhou Guifang quickly held back Hao Xiuyue, "Don’t trouble yourself; we already ate. We just thought Jialin might be at home and came to see her."

Hao Xiuyue insisted, "How can you not have a meal when you’re here at our house?"

Zhou Guifang patted her hand, "We came specifically to see Jialin while she is here. Please, sit down yourself. I’m sincerely not just being polite."

Hao Xiuyue’s face beamed with a smile, "Then you all sit down and chat for a bit. I’ll go pour you some water," and with that, she left the room.

Luo Jialin spoke up, "Grandma, you shouldn’t have to endure this heat. I’m doing quite well; there’s no need to worry about me."

Then, turning to Luo Xuyuan and Luo Qiao, she said, "Look how hot you both are," as she passed them a fan.

Zhou Guifang said, "You’re not around during the afternoon, so we thought we’d come and check on you at noon. Qiaoqiao has prepared some nourishing things for you; don’t skimp on them."

With emotion, Luo Jialin said, "Thank you for being so considerate."

Luo Qiao picked up the thermos, "Cousin, this is the fish soup Grandma made. Would you like to drink some now?"

Luo Jialin replied, "Oh my, I just had a meal, but now that you mention it, I’ve become quite tempted."

Luo Qiao went to the kitchen for a bowl and a spoon, came back, and poured her cousin a bowl of fish soup with several pieces of fish meat in it.

Smelling the aroma, Luo Jialin found her appetite greatly stirred and soon finished the entire bowl of fish soup.
