Lu Yichen had mentioned it to her before, but at that time he had only said it was a possibility. She hadn't expected him to take over so soon.
When Lu Yichen came back and mentioned the invitation to dinner, Luo Qiao said, "Let's not go to a restaurant then, let's just do it at home. It's better to invite the decent folks over for a meal at home, to avoid giving people something to talk about."
Lu Yichen nodded and said, "Which day is good, then? I can help out too."
Luo Qiao thought for a moment. School was starting in three or four days. "Let's set it for tomorrow at noon then."
Once the decision was made, after the two children had fallen asleep at night, the couple sneaked into the space. Lu Yichen helped out, and Luo Qiao cooked a big pot of ribs in the space, followed by spicy rabbit meat, sour cabbage fish, potato stew with chicken cubes, braised pork, and also sliced a basin of sausages.
Seeing that it was getting late, they finally washed up and left the space.
