She messed with me first

Qi Xi came home the next morning after the holiday.

He didn't let Meng Qing give it away, saying that she had thin eyelids, and she would definitely cry on the street as soon as she gave it away.

Meng Qingrang followed Qi Xi without going downstairs, and stood alone at the window, looking in the direction she left for a long time.

It wasn't until Tang Yuan came over with a leash in her mouth, rubbed her calf flatteringly, and asked her to take it down for a walk. Then she came back to her senses, leaned over to take the leash, touched its head and said, "For the next 14 days, Xixi Xi is not here, we can only miss her, do you think she will miss us?"

of course.

As soon as the car drove out of the community, Qi Xi's eyes were sore. Thinking that he was already 29 years old, he felt that this reaction was really hypocritical, so he turned on the car music and followed 'Roar' all the way home.

At this time, Qi Yongzhi also happened to be on winter vacation and was playing chess with those retired old teachers in the community.

Seeing Qi Xi's return, Qi Yongzhi was stunned for a few seconds, lost his demeanor, and hurriedly got up and said, "No more, my daughter is back."

The Qi Yongzhi who spoke was rarely serious, and he could vaguely see a bit of complacency on his face.

The contrast between the front and the back is too great, and it is inevitable to be squeezed out.

Qi Xi stood aside and smiled, seeing that Qi Yongzhi was pitifully squeezed out, he took a step forward and said, "Uncle Wang, if you don't mind, I will accompany you to finish this game?"

"Of course I don't mind. Come, come, sit down." Uncle Wang greeted Qi Xi with a smile, and he didn't forget to compare with Qi Yongzhi again, "Look, it's not even as good as a girl."

Qi Yongzhi smiled shyly, walked up to Qi Xi and stood there, watching her take a look at the situation, and then the momentum was overwhelming.

Qi Xi, who plays chess, has a completely different style than usual, calm and calm, not fussy, but loves to laugh.

Smiling calmly, laughing makes the opponent feel guilty and easily loses his balance.

The grandfather who taught her to play chess when she was a child once talked about her personality, saying that if she had been born in wartime, she would probably have become a general who can win the battle—without fear of danger and strategizing.

After hearing this, Qi Xi frowned tightly, and said solemnly, "Can I wear a beautiful dress in war?"

One sentence made everyone laugh.

Up to now, even though nearly 20 years have passed, when Qi Yongzhi thinks of that scene, he still feels as if it was just another day.

But it has been 11 years since Qi Xi graduated from high school, and he has never seen her play chess again, nor heard her clamoring for wearing a beautiful dress...

"Dad." His thoughts were interrupted, and Qi Yongzhi regained his senses.

Qi Xi, who had finished playing chess, stood in front of him, blinked playfully, and whispered, "I won."

There was a little bit of embarrassment in the joy.

For a moment, Qi Yongzhi seemed to be back in the past, he couldn't help rubbing Qi Xi's head as he did back then, he saw the faint but not smug smile on her face, his movements froze in mid-air, he fell silent, retracted and said : "Go back."

After finishing speaking, Qi Yongzhi turned around first.

It's not that Qi Xi didn't see Qi Yongzhi's changing expression every second, she kept smiling, pretending not to know, greeted a few uncles, and followed Qi Yongzhi back at a distance of two or three meters.

Xiao Liu, the nurse, was still at home. When he saw Qi Xi coming back, he said enthusiastically, "Mr. Qi is back, why is it so early this year?"

Qi Xi changed his shoes, smiled and said, "It's the same as last year, one week earlier."

"Oh, I misremembered that." Xiao Liu was carrying the garbage bag, which contained the diapers Jiang Chumei changed, and was about to throw it away.

Qi Xi took it over and said, "It's still the same, you don't have to come over for the few days I'm here, and the salary will be paid."

"That's so embarrassing." Xiao Liu was embarrassed.

Qi Xi smiled, "There's nothing to be ashamed of. When my dad and I were away, thanks to you taking care of me, I should give you a few days off."

"Then, thank you Teacher Qi."

"No, let's go after lunch."

"Oh, good."

……

In the next few days, Qi Xi went to bed at ten o'clock and woke up at five o'clock every day, and her biological clock was outrageously regular.

Because Qi Yongzhi leads the graduating class, he often calls some students whose grades fluctuate up and down, and who are hovering on the edge of the undergraduate line, to come home to make up lessons.

The visitors are guests, so Qi Xi inevitably has to prepare meals for them. He has to work for four or five hours every day. In his free time, he has to take care of Jiang Chumei, give her a massage, and talk to her. His life is busy and fulfilling.

During this period, my uncle brought his elder brother Jiang Teng over several times.

Every time he came back, Jiang Teng and Qi Xi were talking in Jiang Chumei's room, and his uncle and Qi Yongzhi were smoking on the balcony.

Once, when Qi Xi came out to pour water, he overheard them mentioning him.

The voice was dull and muffled, with constant sighs.

Seeing her coming, she immediately fell silent.

Qi Xi vaguely knew what they were sighing about, and she didn't ask if they didn't say anything, pretending to be confused.

In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve, and my uncle's family, as in previous years, worshiped their ancestors early, and came to Qi Xi's house for a reunion dinner with prepared fruit and vegetable snacks.

Before Jiang Chumei got sick, Qi Xi's family went to her uncle's house.

Qi Yongzhi said that throughout the year, apart from the old man's birthday, New Year's Eve is the most important day. Jiang Chumei is a daughter, and he is a son-in-law, so he should take his wife and daughter back to her natal home on this day—because without that home, there would be no such thing as his present. Home.

Later, grandpa and grandma passed away one after another, but the habit remained the same until Jiang Chumei had an accident. They became the uncle's family.

Today, as usual, my aunt is in charge, and Qi Xi is beside me to help.

At eight o'clock, the Spring Festival Gala begins, and the family is at the table.

The uncle was barely the most eloquent in the family, and he was the first to raise his glass and said, "There are no minors in our family. No one is allowed to take juice tonight except Jiang Teng who is driving. Come, come, raise your glasses."

"Congratulations to our family for another safe and sound year. The first goal of the new year is to add a fat girl to our family with Jiang Teng and Xiao Man." The uncle said with great expectation.

Jiang Teng had a big head, "Dad, it's beyond my control to have boys and girls."

"Could it be me?" Sister-in-law Xiaoman immediately threw herself away.

Jiang Teng was speechless, "At this time, you should unite with me."

Xiao Man, "No, your family status is too low."

"..."

The two sang together, as if they were talking about cross talk, which made everyone at the table overjoyed.

With cheerful laughter, the uncle continued to look forward to the future, "Then it will be our Teacher Qi. I hope Teacher Qi will bring out another champion in the city and give our family glory."

"Dad, there's something wrong with what you said. It's not my uncle's exam. He only cares about Zong Yao and his ancestors." The second brother Jiang Fei was not afraid of death.

Uncle said with a straight face, "Why don't you tell me?"

Jiang Fei didn't dare, and pretended to clink glasses with Qi Xi who was on the side, and secretly said to her: "The older you are, the more tempered you will be."

Qi Xi laughed all night, her cheeks were sore, she took a sip of wine, breathed out comfortably, and whispered back to him, "If you don't provoke uncle a few times, his temper will be fine."

Jiang Fei, "Life is boring and I can't hold back."

As soon as the words fell, uncle mentioned him.

Jiang Fei replied politely, "Yes!"

The uncle glared at him and said angrily, "Don't trick your sister into drinking there."

Jiang Fei smiled obediently, "Okay, can my sister trick me into drinking it?"

"Oh, you bastard!" Uncle was so angry that he wanted to beat him, but when his aunt got angry, he immediately sat down obediently, stared at Jiang Fei and said, "Jiang Fei, you have only one task for this year - quickly find someone to marry me You are 30 years old and still a bachelor, are you ashamed?"

"A man is 30 a flower, don't worry, career is the most important thing." Jiang Fei said confidently, "Besides, isn't Xixi also single, why do you only rush me alone?"

"Xixi is different from you, she likes girls, ouch!" Uncle let out a pained cry, then grinned and asked aunt, "Why are you stepping on me?"

My aunt didn't speak, her expression was very serious.

Uncle realized later, subconsciously glanced at Qi Xi, seeing that she was still smiling happily, coughed awkwardly, and quickly changed the subject and said: "Hurry up, you can eat after drinking the first cup, Hurry up, don't dawdle!"

In the sound of 'Happy New Year', everyone toasted.

The year is really coming to an end.

The reunion dinner has been around eleven o'clock.

Uncle drank a little too much, and my aunt thought he was noisy, so she didn't stay any longer, and let Jiang Teng and Jiang Fei carry him downstairs.

Qi Xi was the most sober person except Jiang Teng, who hadn't been drinking, and sent them off for Qi Yongzhi.

When he came back, Qi Yongzhi was still sitting at the table, drinking silently by himself.

Seeing Qi Xi come in, Qi Yongzhi smiled and said, "Sit."

Qi Xi picked up her wine glass and went to sit next to Qi Yongzhi.

Qi Yongzhi took advantage of the opportunity to have a drink with her, but neither of them spoke.

After a long silence, Qi Yongzhi couldn't help but speak first, "Xixi, there is something Dad wants to ask your opinion."

Qi Xi was refilling wine for him, when he heard this, he smiled and said, "Well, tell me."

Qi Yongzhi lowered his head and stared at the wine in the glass for a while, then said cautiously: "Your uncle has a comrade-in-arms who is the director of the forestry bureau in the old county town. A few days ago, your uncle had dinner with him. I heard that he has a son who also works in Jiangping. .”

"Did you tell me where it is? Jiangping is quite big, so you may not have heard of it." Qi Xi smiled, showing no flaws on his expression.

Seeing her like this, Qi Yongzhi hesitated to speak. He pondered for a long time, then sighed softly and said, "The kid majored in communication as an undergraduate. After graduating, he stayed in the research institute for a year. He thought it was boring, so he took the firefighting exam. It seems that he did a good job." Okay, I mentioned it early, and made two personal second-class merits. After the fire brigade was handed over to the emergency management department, he was transferred to the fire prevention department, and he applied to come back to put out the fire not long after, and is now the deputy captain of the detachment. "

"Quite thoughtful." Qi Xi was not stingy with his praise, "How many people want to transfer from firefighting to fire prevention, and he can take the initiative to come back, it should be because he really likes this profession."

Qi Yongzhi, "Well, your uncle said the same thing."

At this point, after so many days of laying the groundwork, some things are actually very clear, but Qi Yongzhi didn't say it clearly, Qi Xi pretended not to understand, and there was only silence in the living room.

After a long time, the host of the Spring Festival Gala began to say New Year's greetings, preparing for the countdown.

Qi Yongzhi squeezed the wine glass tightly, and finally seemed to be ready, and said slowly: "Xixi, your uncle means to let you meet."

Qi Xi was still smiling, "What about after meeting? Virgo? If it's suitable, then we'll talk about marriage?"

The author has something to say: thanks, bows.
