Chapter 369: Qiao Baier's New Year

urning gazes and quickly scrambled off Yi Sicheng.She couldn't just stand there and watch Yi Sicheng get run over. She had the ability to save him, so she wouldn't be emotional about it.Suddenly, Yi S...On New Year's Day, the Qiao family has a tradition where everyone must wake up early and gather in the dining room to eat lotus seed sweet soup.

However, Qiao Baoer was still asleep.

Grandma Qiao is not as particular anymore, so she decided not to wake her up. The light in Qiao Bao'er's room was on all night, so she probably didn't sleep a wink.

Gu Ruyi helped Qiao Wenyu to the dining table. Qiao Wenyu had a cerebral hemorrhage and hemiplegia last time. Due to his active rehabilitation treatment, although his left hand and feet were not very flexible, he could at least walk with crutches instead of using a wheelchair.

Three people sat around the dinner table. Gu Ruyue had ladled three bowls of lotus seed soup, but none of them were in the mood to eat.

"Last time, Old Master Jun asked us to come over to the Jun family... oh, I shouldn't have refused." Old Mrs. Qiao put down her spoon and suddenly sighed.

"Those two children are also our Qiao family's flesh and blood. I really want to see them. These days, I keep thinking about them..."

The old woman was in a low mood and had no appetite. She mumbled to herself, pondering over some matters.

"Little Smoke, what if we take a more forceful approach and demand a child back from the Jun family"

Since learning that her children were alive, Gu Ruyue was dazed for several days before she could come to terms with it. She had been filled with guilt over believing she had killed them and longed to see both of her children.

Gu Ruoyan was also troubled, "How could the Jun family possibly give us one of their children to raise"

Old Mrs. Qiao felt cheated. "Anyway, there are two twins. The Jun family only has one grandson, Junzhi牧. Our Qiao family only has Bao'er as our only child. Their Jun family is small, and we don't have any other children either. Who doesn't want a lively and bustling household Why do they, the Jun family, get to have both children"

A week before New Year's, Qiao Baoer came back from the city. After entering the house, she calmly told them, 'The child is not dead, and is being raised at Jun's home.'

That sentence sent them into a frenzy.

They wanted to continue asking, but they didn't dare bring up the topic of children in front of Qiao Baoer.

"The Jun family is truly too much! They've pushed us around for so long, putting up with anything. But to even joke about our child's life They don't treat us Qiao family like human beings at all! If Bao'er goes back there again, they'll bully her to death!" Old Mrs. Qiao became more and more agitated as she spoke.

"Mom, don't mention the word 'death' on New Year's Day."

Joe Wenyu, who had been unusually quiet, suddenly spoke. His voice was calm as he reached into his coat pocket with his right hand and took out his phone. He placed it on the table and tapped the screen a few times, opening WeChat...

The phone screen played a short video.

Grandma Qiao originally had no interest, but suddenly a baby crying sound came from her phone.

Gu Ruoyan's face changed, and she quickly leaned closer to take a look.

Grandma Qiao and Gu Ruyue both stared at the twin babies in the short video. The video was only 9 seconds long, with both babies crying loudly in their cribs with tear-filled eyes.

Gu Ruyue kept clicking the video, replaying it over and over. Her mind was blank, she didn't know what to say. As she watched, she felt a lump in her throat and her eyes welled up with emotion.

"These two children are really handsome and spirited."

Grandma Qiao was speaking with delight, her gaze fixed on the screen. Her old eyes crinkled at the corners as she smiled, a joy she hadn't felt in ages.

"Joe Wenyu, hello! We've been taking care of you all day. Where did this video come from You knew what was going on, why didn't you tell us!"

Gu Ruoyan turned her head, looking at the man with a slightly annoyed expression. She was quite resentful.

"Wen Yu, you know that both Xiao Yan and I are worried sick. We wouldn't dare to ask Bao'er about it. You should have told us sooner." Old Mrs. Qiao also thought her son was being unreasonable.

Qiao Wenyuyu was innocent. Originally, as a seriously ill patient, his family members were very considerate to him. Suddenly, a pair of twin grandsons appeared. His status in the family was not even as high as that of the two babies he had never met. Last time, he resolutely refused the Jun family. On the surface, their Qiao family looked very calm, but in fact, they were very troubled inside.

Anyone who conceals any information about the child will be considered an enemy of the people.

"Mom, I just saw this short video on WeChat too."

"What's WeChat"

Grandma Qiao snatched the phone and started to study it.

“This morning, Lu Qinnan and his friends went to the Jun family and filmed this short video...”

The old woman doesn't understand any of this jargon. All she wants to know is about those two children.

"Hurry up and see if you took any other pictures, how about one of the baby crying They must be adorable when they're sleeping too, go look!"

When Qiao Baoer sleepily woke up, she went downstairs and saw her grandma and dad seriously studying something on their phones. They didn't even seem to notice the lotus seed soup they had prepared in the dining room.

"What are you doing"

As soon as Qiao Bao'er spoke, Qiao Lao Tai and the others reacted like they had done something wrong.

The more Qiao Bao'er looked, the more she felt something was wrong. Everyone in the family hadn't been themselves these past few days, and even New Year's had been rather subdued. But today morning, everyone seemed so excited.

"Actually, that's... we are researching how to play those social media apps that you youngsters use." Grandma Qiao said nervously, stammering.

Qiao Bao'er looked at them suspiciously, Gu Ruyue's expression was hesitant, and Qiao Wenyu suddenly shouted in a stern voice, "Go drink lotus water sugar."

The Qiao family's New Year was ordinary, not too extravagant or expensive. They simply hung a few large red lanterns in the courtyard and pasted festive Spring Festival paper-cuts on the glass walls.

"Grandma wishes you good health."

Before going out to buy New Year's goods with Gu Ruyue, Qiao Baoer bought a jade pendant for her grandmother.

Although they weren't top-grade jade, everyone was happy to receive the gifts for the New Year.

Jo Bao'er bought a set of fashionable women's clothing for her aunt. It was a rose red short suit and skirt, Gu Ruyue usually dressed in plain clothes, the rose red actually made her complexion better, younger and more bright.

"Our Bao'er gets more and more likeable as she grows, she even learned how to cheer people up." Grandma Qiao really liked her jade, in fact, their Qiao family didn't have the habit of giving gifts.

Qiao Baoer has changed a lot. The sharp edges she used to have have been smoothed out, and she has learned to let go and cherish things.

But she didn't have the delicate talent for it. When shopping for gifts, she wasn't really thinking about what to choose; she just wanted to distract herself.

Finally, Qiao Bao'er handed Qiao Wenyu a deep gray hunting cap.

Joe Wenyu held it in his hand, although his face still wore a stern expression, his heart was filled with emotion. Over the years, he and his daughter had been at odds, their relationship fractured. He never expected that after everything came to light, she wouldn't leave him but instead chose to stay.

"Dad, I hope your shiny head grows hair back soon." Qiao Bao'er looked at her father with a serious expression.

Joe Wenyù's eyes widened, and all feeling of emotion vanished.

Grandma Qiao and Gu Ruyan turned their heads together, they looked at Qiao Wenyu's shaved head after the surgery, then burst into laughter.

Although she had some worries, Qiao Baoer still had a pretty pleasant New Year.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Mo Gao suddenly came to Qiao's house with a fruit basket and gift box to pay New Year's greetings.

Jo Bao'er was very surprised when she saw him.

"Is this Tang Yu's uncle" Gu Ruyue smiled and asked.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!he monkey couldn't help but curse as he finally reached his destination.Just a hillside, some caves!What a dump of a place to stay."You want to stay in a six-star hotel" Lu Qinian was already too tire...
