From the third day of the new year, the students came to home regularly every day to make up lessons as before.

Since school will start soon, it is natural to make up for the winter vacation homework.

The students brought them to each subject. When Qi Yongzhi was around, he didn't dare to blatantly make up for it. As soon as he left, he immediately came to Qi Xi to help out, gathered together to 'exchange' answers with each other, and sometimes asked Qi Xi a question or two. Recite an ancient prose.

Qi Xi has a good memory and can answer all the questions.

After going back and forth to get to know the students well, as long as Qi Yongzhi is not around, he dares to make any jokes with her, walking around the house is more casual than in his own home, and there is no shyness at all.

If you don't shy away from it, it's easy to see what you shouldn't see and say what you shouldn't say.

Near noon, Qi Xi went to Jiang Chumei's room after serving as a 'smart English-Chinese dictionary' for them, and helped her change her diapers.

A student came back from the bathroom and ran in to take a look, and asked Qi Xi carelessly, "Sister, is this your grandma? What's wrong with her?"

When Qi Xi heard the students addressing Jiang Chumei, she paused for a moment to cover her with the quilt, and without looking up, she leaned over and said with a smile, "It's nothing, I'm too tired, I'm sleeping."

"Oh." The student lowered his voice, "Then I won't disturb grandma's sleep."

Qi Xi didn't say a word, and let him go out lightly.

In the middle of the walk, I still couldn't help calling out to him, stood by the bed, and said with a smile on my face, "This is my mother, not grandma."

Qi Xi's tone was full of jokes, but the student blushed, "Sister, I'm sorry! The light in the room is too dark, I couldn't see clearly, I'm sorry!"

Qi Xi walked over with a smile, and patted him on the shoulder, "It's okay, go do your homework, and bake cookies for you later."

The student nodded awkwardly and left quickly.

Qi Xi looked at his still bewildered back, and his smile faded.

She could have avoided speaking out to her face.

On the sixth day of the day after tomorrow, when she returns, she may not have the chance to see them again in this life, so there is no need to tell the truth and make the scene ugly.

Just a child, no need.

But the words were blocked and blocked, and I still couldn't control it.

During these days of taking care of Jiang Chumei, Qi Xi knows better than anyone how bad Jiang Chumei's situation is.

It is not an exaggeration to say skinny.

The skin is rough, dry and black, and the breathing is weak.

Several times, Qi Xi sat on the edge of the bed and read to her. When he raised his head and couldn't feel her breathing, his mind would suddenly go blank, and he didn't even have the courage to test her breath.

Qi Xi always thought that after so many years, she must have made the necessary psychological preparations long ago, but she was really close, even if it was only one step, she still couldn't accept it.

If you don't accept it, you will become stingy and fussy.

For yourself, but also for others.

But to be more specific, this matter is her own ulterior motives, and she shouldn't blame the students for not knowing who Jiang Chumei is to her, judging by her appearance...

"Xixi?" Qi Yongzhi came back after printing the paper, and called Qi Xi who was standing in a daze at the door of the bedroom.

Qi Xichui jumped physiologically with the hand in his body, came back to his senses, walked out with a smile as usual, took the fruit and vegetable ingredients that Qi Yongzhi bought from the vegetable market next door when he took Qi Yongzhi's printed paper, and said, "I'll cook. "

"Yeah." Qi Yongzhi looked at Qi Xi's back quietly, and slowly wrinkled his brows.

Dinner at night, the table was extremely silent.

It was actually like this before—Qi Yongzhi was naturally reticent, while Qi Xi had something on his mind, even worse after New Year's Eve.

Some words are clear, even if you pretend to be indifferent on the surface, you will still have lumps in your heart, but children will make trouble, and adults will hide it.

After dinner, Qi Xi went back to her room.

Qi Yongzhi replaced her and helped Jiang Chumei massage her limbs.

At about ten o'clock, Qi Xi's bedroom door was knocked suddenly.

She was chatting with Meng Qing on WeChat, and when she heard the sound, she looked back, casually put down her phone and came over to open the door.

"Dad, are you still asleep?" Qi Xi asked.

Qi Yongzhi stood at the door, as if he had thought about it for a long time and made a decision, and told her the result directly, "Xixi, there is still time now, pack up and go back tomorrow morning."

Qi Xi clenched the doorknob tightly, with an indifferent and friendly expression on his face, and asked with a smile, "Is it okay to stay another day?"

Qi Yongzhi felt uncomfortable seeing her like this, he hesitated to speak for a while, he didn't say anything like before, "There is no parent who doesn't want their children to come back to visit often, and so does dad, but compared to seeing you, dad is more Hope you're having a good time."

Qi Xi's mind suddenly became confused, and he didn't understand what Qi Yongzhi meant.

Qi Yongzhi explained to her word by word, "In the few years when your mother was ill, as soon as you came home, you seemed to be a different person-sensible, love to laugh, and rushed to do any job. Dad didn't say anything, It's all in my eyes, I know what you are doing, but dad is stupid, and you are a girl, dad doesn't know how to tell you, so he listens to your uncle, won't let you go home, won't tell you about family affairs , thinking that you can live a better life if you can’t see or hear. Do you think Dad is wrong again?”

This is the first time Qi Yongzhi said these words to Qi Xi, with an unnatural tone, avoiding Qi Xi's gradually fluctuating sight, "These days, Dad always thinks of when you were in college, when it was a holiday, upstairs and downstairs The children who came home shouted, "I gain three catties during the holidays, take a closer look at three kilos", and you, if your uncle told your two older brothers to take turns to go to school to ask you to eat, you must be alone in the dormitory Make do. Dad loves you, but Dad dare not ask you to come back. Once you see your mother, you will be so good that Dad doesn't recognize you, and Dad can't see you like that. "

"Dad..." Qi Xi's mind was in a mess, and he was rampaging inside after scene after scene.

No wonder Qi Yongzhi would find various reasons to refuse every time she said back, and when she really came back, he would definitely put down what he was doing and go to the station to pick her up.

This time she was driving, and he didn't need to pick it up, so he put down the only hobby in his life - playing chess.

The original root is here.

Qi Xi clenched her hands, her throat swelled so hard to swallow, "I always thought you were blaming me for not letting me come back."

"It must have been strange at the moment, but you were brought up by your father in class and brought up bit by bit, and your father was reluctant." From the night of New Year's Eve to now, Qi Yongzhi has scolded himself countless times, "Dad It's just too stupid, I don't know how to coax the girl's family, once your uncle said it, dad listened, it was before, and this time it's the same. Xixi, don't be angry with dad and uncle."

"I'm not angry, I know you are all for me, and my attitude was not good that day."

"It's all over, and no one will talk to you about marriage in the future. You can handle your own affairs on your own. Dad just asks - don't stay single all the time, men and women... It doesn't matter, it's enough to treat you well."

"Dad—" Qi Xi couldn't believe that these words came from the mouth of Qi Yongzhi who had been traditional all his life.

Qi Yongzhi was also surprised, but as Qi Xi said that night, he didn't want his baby girl who grew up to be judged by the person who should be closest to her one day, and even forced her to do something. As for Jiang Chumei, after a hundred years, he will personally explain to her. Now, he cares more about Qi Xi who still has a chance to live a good life.

"Since it doesn't matter anymore, why do you want me to go now?" Qi Xi sniffed, her voice muffled.

"Mr. Liu, who teaches chemistry upstairs, will also have a few students coming to the house tomorrow. They are all naughty boys. Dad is afraid that they will make you unhappy with their words."

Qi Xi understood, Qi Yongzhi must have known about the 'Grandma' thing today to make such a decision, if so, she accepted, "I'll clean it up later."

Qi Yongzhi, "Well, if you want to come back next time, call Dad early. The college entrance examination is less than four months away, and Dad will be very busy. Find a way to adjust the time to come back and talk with you."

This is, taking the initiative to ask her to come back?

Surprise quickly fainted on Qi Xi's face, "I remember."

Seeing her smile, Qi Yongzhi completely let go of his worries before coming here, looked back at the time, and said, "Go to bed after cleaning up, and sleep well tomorrow morning, so you don't have to hurry up to cook. Dad will buy you something from the West District." Fried dough sticks. You were greedy for this when you were a child, and you would make trouble if you didn’t eat it for two days. Now I don’t know if the taste is right.”

"It must be right!"

"Then dad will buy you more."

"Okay, thank you Dad."

"Go and clean up."

"..."

After the door closed, the smile on Qi Xi's face still did not disappear.

She walked briskly to the bed and sat down, and made a video call to Meng Qingrang.

Now I suddenly want to miss her very much, want to see her, and want to share with her the joy that cannot be known in my heart.

Meng Qingrang was bathing the glutinous rice balls, and was soaked in water by it, he hesitated for a few seconds before connecting in a state of embarrassment.

Seeing Meng Qingrang who looked like a drowned chicken, Qi Xi asked hesitantly, "What are you doing?"

Meng Qingrang turned the phone and showed her the glutinous rice balls laughing wildly.

Qi Xi suddenly became angry, "Tangyuan!"

Tang Yuan took a step back in fright, humming aggrieved.

After finishing the glutinous rice balls, Qi Xi called Meng Qingrang back and asked her, "Why don't you send the glutinous rice balls to the pet shop for washing? It's so messed up that sometimes I can't control it, let alone you."

Meng Qingrang, "I went there in the morning. I thought the nurse said it was fat, and I have lost my temper until now."

Qi Xi was speechless, "Can't you say you're fat? Before, I thought it was just a dog who dislikes the poor and loves the rich. Seeing you is more enthusiastic than seeing me. I didn't expect that he also likes to lie to his ears. He can't hear the truth. He has learned a lot."

Meng Qingrang couldn't help laughing at Qi Xi's sincere complaints, "Must we hurt each other like this?"

Qi Xi's mouth reacted faster than his brain, "It was the one who bullied my wife first, so I can't talk about it anymore?"

Unfamiliar title, true love.

Meng Qingrang looked at Qi Xi without speaking, just smiling.

There was only one lamp on Qi Xi's side, and it was dark, which made Meng Qingrang's smile brighter - just like the apricot blossoms in March in Yangchun, quiet and bright, taking advantage of the spring breeze.

Qi Xi was fascinated by it, realized what he had just said, turned around and lay down on the bed, and said calmly: "Tangyuan is a coward, bullying the weak and afraid of the strong, don't get used to it, its tail will rise to the sky sooner or later."

Meng Qingrang smiled, "Okay." The tone was so submissive that Qi Xi felt uncomfortable, pulled a corner of the quilt and rolled half a circle to wrap herself like a silkworm chrysalis, lay on her back and said, "I'll be back tomorrow. "

"Tomorrow?" Meng Qing asked Qi Xi to pat the sluggish glutinous rice balls and let it sit in the basin, "Didn't you say you would be back on the last day?"

Qi Xi ignored the process and just said, "My dad kicked him out."

Meng Qingrang rubbed the hand on Tangyuan's head, and said with a smile, "It's okay, I'm here to keep people here."

There is some comfort in the words.

Qi Xi heard it, and held back her laughter for a long time, so she dared not speak.

"Are you staying at your parents' house tomorrow, or Jinyuan?" Qi Xi asked.

Meng Qingrang, "Jinyuan, I'll be back in the afternoon on the first day of the junior high school."

That is, I only stayed at home for one night on New Year's Eve?

This is a bit too short for adults who live all year round, just for the Spring Festival holiday.

Qi Xi couldn't help but look at Meng Qingrang more, seeing that her expression didn't change, so it's not easy to guess randomly, so she continued to smile and said, "Okay, then I'll leave early tomorrow morning to have lunch with you."

"Well, what do you want to eat? I'll ask my aunt to prepare it in advance." Meng Qingrang said.

Qi Xi, "Please let Auntie have a good New Year, let's do it ourselves."

Meng Qingrang stated in advance, "I don't know anything about cooking, and I will be driven away by my aunt when I wash the vegetables."

Qi Xi sighed, "No matter how Mr. Meng's character design collapses, it's just a bowl of rice."

Meng Qingrang chuckled, "I don't have any personality, you will find my shortcomings after a long time of contact."

Qi Xi was very interested, "Then I have to look carefully."

"I'll have plenty of time in the future. Let's hang up today and let the glutinous rice balls blow their hair." Meng Qingrang said.

Qi Xi sighed, "Sure enough, the moon is the first to be close to the water, and now I am not even as good as a dog."

Very familiar words.

Zhou Qi also said it.

Meng Qingrang couldn't help laughing, "Is the vinegar in glutinous rice balls so delicious?"

Qi Xi said 'no' solemnly, "It's not delicious, but it doesn't affect my acidity. Go back tomorrow and see how I snatch you here in front of it!"

Meng Qingrang felt inexplicably distressed about the glutinous rice balls, but the one that should be coaxed in the video is still to be coaxed, "Okay, I'll wait for you to grab it."
