Seeing Lu Chuanbai's mood improve, Xu Qingqing lifted the corner of her lips into a smile and pointed at the watch on her wrist.
"Let's go pick up the two kids quickly. I'll make sweet and sour spare ribs tonight!"
"Okay."
Lu Chuanbai started the car and drove to the kindergarten to pick up the two kids.
Xu Qingqing and Lu Chuanbai picked up the kids after school.
Xu Qingqing was cooking in the kitchen with an apron on, while Lu Chuanbai played with the two kids.
To thank Xu Yiyi for the inspiration he provided, Lu Chuanbai specially bought gifts for Xu Yiyi and Xu An'an.
What he bought for Xu Yiyi was a set of children's Iron Man suits. Xu Yiyi had been eyeing it for a long time, and unexpectedly received it today.
"Dad, thank you!" Xu Yiyi excitedly threw himself into Lu Chuanbai's arms, but his eyes couldn't bear to leave the Iron Man suit.
"This is a thank - you gift for helping Dad solve the trouble."
Lu Chuanbai smiled and patted Xu Yiyi on the back. Seeing through his little thought, he let go of him and said, "Go and play."
Xu An'an also received the princess costume she had been longing for. She happily threw herself into Lu Chuanbai's arms and gave him a kiss on the face.
"Dad, I also thank you."
After saying that, Xu An'an couldn't wait to go play with Xu Yiyi.
Hearing the laughter of the two kids, Lu Chuanbai got up and went to the kitchen to see if Xu Qingqing needed any help.
Under the guidance of Xu's mother these days, Xu Qingqing's cooking skills had improved greatly, and she was cooking like a pro.
Lu Chuanbai couldn't find a chance to help, so he just chatted with her.
"Your cooking skills are getting better and better. It smells really good."
Xu Qingqing proudly raised one eyebrow, put the delicious spare ribs on a plate, and motioned for Lu Chuanbai to help carry the dishes.
"Have you finished dealing with all the things in the company?"
"Of course."
Lu Chuanbai lifted his chin proudly. Even though he was holding home - cooked dishes in his hands, he still looked elegant and polite.
"You don't know the reactions of Yin Chen and Young Master Ye when they saw the green grass all over the ground. They thought I didn't lay the grass and wanted to poach Mr. Smith away."
Just from Lu Chuanbai's description, Xu Qingqing could imagine Lu Fenglin's gloomy expression.
"Lu Fenglin has gone too far this time. He has been causing you trouble. It's good to fight back appropriately."
Xu Qingqing brought the rice to the table. Remembering that her mother had asked her to go home and get the pickled radishes to go with the sweet and sour spare ribs, she changed her shoes and told Lu Chuanbai to serve the rice first. "I'll go home and get some pickled radishes. I'll be back soon."
"Okay."
Xu Qingqing adjusted her heels and opened the door to go out. She couldn't help but think that it was really convenient to live close to her parents' house. She could go back whenever she wanted.
Xu Qingqing used her key to open the door and immediately sensed that the atmosphere at home was not right.
Xu's father was sitting on the sofa with a serious expression and a rather bad complexion.
Xu's mother was sitting beside him, gently persuading him.
"We must tell Xu Qingqing about this. Only Qingqing can solve this problem now."
Xu's father looked worried and had many concerns in his heart. "This is not an ordinary sunken ship. It's the sunken ship of Shen Wansan!"
"Its location is probably under the most violent current off the foreign coastline. If Qingqing knows about it, she will definitely want to go too..."
What worried Xu's father most was that Xu Qingqing would be in danger if she went.
Hearing their conversation, Xu Qingqing walked over gently with a solemn expression.
"Dad, Mom, are you talking about the sunken ship that Uncle is going to salvage? Is there any news from Uncle?"
As she spoke, her tone became more and more excited. She immediately sat down beside Xu's father, and her eyes were like a cat that smelled fish, full of eager light.
Since the last time she had a fight with Uncle, Uncle had deleted all her contact information, and she couldn't get any news at all.
Now that she got a wind of it from Xu's father, of course she was happy.
Seeing Xu Qingqing so excited just by hearing the name, Xu's father's worry deepened. But he also knew that he couldn't hide it from her, so he sighed and told her the whole story.
Just now, Xu's father saw the Moments post from Uncle. He found that Uncle had taken a photo of the boat ticket for the day after tomorrow and also posted a selfie to show off.
Uncle also added a caption: "Going to make a fortune!"
"Dad, quickly find that photo for me to see!" Xu Qingqing said anxiously.
They must not be allowed to salvage the sunken ship in advance, and the treasures inside must not be traded!
Xu's father found Uncle's Moments post, and Xu Qingqing took a photo of it with her phone and sent it to Wang Lide.
Xu Qingqing: [Teacher Wang Lide, I found a group of people who are planning to salvage a sunken ship. We should stop them!]
Teacher Wang Lide had just returned from Dongchuan Province and had been on vacation for a few days, feeling quite bored. Unexpectedly, Xu Qingqing sent him a very exciting piece of news.
Wang Lide couldn't wait to reply: [Of course we should take care of such a big thing! Do you know the specific location of the sunken ship?]
If they could know the specific location of the sunken ship, they could salvage it before the bad guys.
Xu Qingqing didn't know the specific location of the sunken ship yet, but she thought that if she followed Uncle Huang Tonghai and the others, she would definitely find out the location.
Xu Qingqing: [We can follow them. It's not too late to stop them when we get there.]
[Teacher Wang, they are leaving the day after tomorrow. We need to speed up.]
Wang Lide thought Xu Qingqing's words made sense, and it was the only feasible way at present.
Those bad guys dared to salvage the sunken ship, which meant they must know the location of the sunken ship. They could just follow them and then arrest them.
Wang Lide: [I understand. I'll immediately inform Gu Yuan and Chen Jiashu to go with us.]
With two strong young men around, their personal safety could at least be guaranteed.
Xu Qingqing's slender fingers danced on the keyboard: [I understand. I'll pack my luggage now.]
After sending the message, Xu Qingqing seriously returned Xu's father's phone to him.
"Dad, I heard your and Mom's concerns, but protecting cultural relics is my duty. No matter how dangerous this time is, I have to go."
Xu's father saw the determination and wisdom in Xu Qingqing's eyes and knew that he couldn't stop this.
"I understand. Go ahead, but be sure to be careful."
Xu's father heavily patted Xu Qingqing on the shoulder. Although there was worry in his eyes, there was more pride.
Xu Qingqing was just like him when he was young, brave and adventurous.
In order to protect cultural relics, she was even willing to sacrifice everything, even her own personal safety.
Xu's mother could also understand Xu Qingqing's heart. She sat down beside her and gently hugged her.
Xu's mother's embrace smelled nice. Her hand stroking Xu Qingqing's back was very gentle, and her tone was soft.
"My dear daughter, your safety is the most important. Be sure to come back safely."
Xu Qingqing nodded heavily. Her parents gave her full sense of security.
After getting the pickled radishes, Xu Qingqing returned home. Lu Chuanbai had already served the rice.
