Reborn as a Superpower Girl in the 80s-Chapter 817: Brushing Past Each Other

The two of them were being overly affectionate for half the day before they finally started the car.

They agreed that he would come over to pick her up in the morning, then take them to the department store, after which Lu Yichen would return to the office for work.

After dropping Luo Qiao at the front gate and watching her go in, he then turned around and left.

Luo Qiao entered the yard and saw Grandpa standing there, arranging things on the windowsill, "Grandpa, I’m back."

Luo Daoren put the things in order, smiling as he said, "Come into the house and get warm."

Zhou Guifang came out just in time to hear Luo Qiao, "Qiaoqiao, you’re back."

"Mhm, Grandma, I’m back. Did my second brother call back?"

The Luo Xuyuan that Luo Qiao had been mentioning had just left the Xiao Family’s house. He didn’t stay at Xiao Ya’s place, and when he left, he took the keys Luo Qiao gave him to stay in Luo Qiao’s Ji City house, which she had arranged to be cleaned in advance, so he could just move in with his bags.

These past two days, he had been drinking with Xiao Ya’s various aunts and uncles daily, their enthusiasm somewhat overwhelming him.

However, today the Xiao Family’s parents relented, agreeing that the families should meet on the 29th of the last lunar month. He planned to later go to the public phone at the end of the alley to call home.

Right after Luo Qiao asked, the phone started ringing. Luo Xuyan in the house picked it up, "Hello, who’s this?"

"Big Brother, it’s me, Xuyuan."

"Xuyuan, how did it go, did Xiao Ya’s family agree?"

"It’s okay, Big Brother, how are Grandpa and Grandma?"

"Hold on."

Luo Xuyan put down the phone, stood up, and walked toward the door, shouting as he went, "Grandpa, Grandma, it’s Xuyuan calling."

Zhou Guifang was the first to rush into the living room, picking up the receiver, "Hello, Xuyuan."

"Grandma, I’m here."

"How is it going, any news from the Xiao Family?"

"Grandma, the Xiao Family said they want our family to meet them, the day after tomorrow. What do you think about the arrangements?"

"Good, good, good, we will discuss it a bit and call you back later."

After hanging up, Zhou Guifang recounted the situation, and the final decision was to take the train leaving tomorrow afternoon at four, so they could prepare things during the day and still get a good night’s sleep.

After the decision was made, they hurriedly called Luo Haotian, asking him to take leave for tomorrow and to make sure to go there, so as not to give the impression to the Xiao Family that they didn’t care enough.

Luo Haotian, receiving the call, learned that his second son was meeting with the parents-in-law to be and promptly agreed, saying he would see them at the train station tomorrow.

The Big Brother was already on break. His wife was helping to take care of the third sister-in-law and the twins, so things were manageable. Therefore, Luo Qiao called her cousin’s husband to book four train tickets to Ji City for the following afternoon at four.

The next day, after having breakfast, Luo Xuyan went out the door under his grandparents’ repeated instructions to purchase the gifts they were bringing to Ji City.

Luo Qiao went with Lu Yichen, who had come to pick her up, agreeing that he would come back early to take them to the train station.

After picking up Stone and Bo Taifeng at the Gu family home, they headed to the department store together. After dropping them off, Lu Yichen left a few reminders before he left for work.

Just as the department store opened, Luo Qiao took the two to buy some autumn clothing. Stone had grown taller recently and needed a couple of new sets, then they went on to buy sweaters. Sensible Stone didn’t ask for much, just one, mentioning that his old ones still fit and that one new sweater for the New Year would suffice.

Bo Taifeng felt somewhat embarrassed, thinking one outfit for rotating would do. But Luo Qiao disagreed, insisting they should get at least two more outfits for rotation, and also purchased two pairs of shoes, determined that now she had brought the children back, they should be well cared for.

After shopping, Luo Qiao took them to a newly opened cake shop not far from the department store, ordered some cream cakes, and then prepared to lead them back to the Gu family home.

However, as they were leaving the cake shop, they passed by a couple, and Stone suddenly stopped. He turned his head to look at the man who had just entered the shop, taking a long moment to snap back to reality.

Luo Qiao noticed Stone’s unusual behavior, "Stone, what’s wrong?"

"Nothing, I might have mistaken someone."

Luo Qiao glanced into the shop and didn’t dwell on it, simply saying, "Let’s go, let’s head home. Your aunt said she’s making something delicious to treat us today."

Ning Ziping inside seemed to sense something and glanced outside the door, only to see the figures gradually moving away into the distance.
