Reborn as a Superpower Girl in the 80s

Chapter 1809: Chapter 1809: You Agreed to This, So Don’t Blame Me

Yan Xin was truly panicked: "No, no, I’ll explain, really, I’ll explain everything to everyone later."

Chai Gang said somewhat self-deprecatingly: "Once and a hundred times make no difference to others. It’s just this one time, and the leader saw it. What am I supposed to explain? That I was diligent all along, and just this time I couldn’t control my wife?

If it were you, would you believe it?"

No matter what was happening over there, Luo Qiao and Lu Yichen were already driving into the city and called home: "Hey, Yueyue, we’re almost home. Do you need us to pick up anything?"

Yueyue had her mouth full with a strawberry fed by Qi Junrui and found it a bit hard to talk: "Mom, no need. Everything’s ready. We’re just waiting for you to come back so we can eat."

When the two arrived home, the pot was already boiling, and it was just the right time to wash hands and eat.

Luo Qiao looked at Qi Junrui and said: "You’re here for dinner, and at home, there’s only your grandpa left. Why not let him join us too? After all, it’s not far away."

Qi Junrui was all smiles: "Can I?"

Yueyue gave him a light slap on the arm: "My mom has already said so, and you still don’t hurry up. Just standing here asking, I really don’t know what to say to you!"

Everybody laughed.

Qi Junrui quickly took out his phone and dialed home: "Grandpa, I’m with Yueyue. Here’s the thing, Auntie says it’s lonely for you to eat alone at home, so why don’t you come over and join us for dinner? Anyway, it’s not too far between our places."

"It’s New Year’s, it’s one thing for you to go over for dinner, but to bring me along as well—wouldn’t that be inappropriate?"

"Oh, come on. Don’t be so reserved, hurry up, or we’ll finish all the food."

"Alright then, since you say so, don’t blame me later."

The Qi Family’s place wasn’t far away at all, just two streets over, and Old Master Qi arrived in less than half an hour, carrying quite a lot of stuff.

Luo Qiao laughed and said: "Uncle Qi, you’ve even brought your own ingredients."

Old Master Qi laughed: "I’m just presenting flowers in borrowed clothing. They were said to be air-shipped and only arrived at my house this noon. These things don’t keep well, so it’s perfect to share them with everyone."

Luo Qiao looked at the big items in the box: "These lobsters are really large."

The old man chuckled and said: "They are big. These ingredients are already prepared, just need to blanch them and they’re ready to steam."

Rong Daniang smiled as she took them: "You all go inside, I’ll steam them for you, and they’ll be ready soon."

Lu Yichen led everyone inside, and Luo Qiao went to the kitchen to help Rong Daniang with the steaming before returning to the dining room.

People were chatting and laughing, and Old Master Qi said with a smile: "Eating is really lively when there are more people, no wonder Jun Rui always comes over to scrounge for meals."

Lu Yichen raised his glass with a smile: "Come on, Uncle Qi, let’s have a drink. From now on, you’re always welcome to visit; it’s just one more pair of chopsticks. As you said, it’s more lively with more people."

"As long as you say so, I’ll definitely be coming over often, who wouldn’t want to join your lively family? Jun Rui and I have been lonely for a while now; we envy those with big families."

Xiao Ye looked at Qi Junrui and said: "Jun Rui, you didn’t choose my second sister to make up for your yearning for a big family, did you? If that’s the case, we’ll have to reconsider."

Qi Junrui hurriedly waved his hands: "No, no. I first fell for Yueyue, and it just so happens I also love this big family of ours."

Yueyue picked a piece of meat with public chopsticks for Qi Junrui: "Eat up, he’s teasing you. You’re usually smart, but at home, you get all slow when it’s about these three."
