"Xiao Xi, did you forget something?"
Wu Yanhua, who was closest, was startled by the sudden voice.
"This!"
Qiu Xi took out the thermos she had brought that morning like offering a treasure.
"Isn't this what you brought this morning and said was for lunch?"
She had noticed it as soon as she entered the door this morning and had asked about it.
As it turned out, her junior sister had been a little helpless, saying it was brought at the insistence of her family. Read books and pick up.
In short, her brows were filled with helplessness.
Why did she take it out herself now? Wu Yanhua was a bit confused.
"That's right!"
"Since it's recess this afternoon, let's just eat it together."
Qiu Xi thought that since she was going home for dinner anyway, she might as well finish the meat and soup outside.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to eat with her parents watching her after she got home.
It was just right now, with them splitting it, it wouldn't be wasted.
Especially since her father knew there were four of them, he had specifically added more.
Wu Yanhua was still hesitant, "Xiao Xi, this isn't good, is it?"
Qiu Xi looked up, "What's not good about it?"
"Anyway, we all have the afternoon off, let's drink some chicken soup to celebrate."
"Come quickly!"
As Qiu Xi spoke, she had already picked up a disposable bowl and started pouring.
"Teacher Su, you too, have a bowl before you go."
"I..."
Su Yihua, who was about to refuse, smelled the strong fragrance.
The words that came out of his mouth retreated, and he accepted it very honestly.
"Don't let this be an example!"
This office, apart from some fruits and snacks, had never been so lively.
Qiu Xi nodded obediently, "Teacher, don't worry, we were originally going to eat outside for lunch. It just so happened that today you gave us half a day off."
"Alright then."
With this arrangement, everyone started drinking together.
Lu Qingyi, who was originally not very fond of Qiu Xi, couldn't help but accept it.
It wasn't that she liked it, but with everyone else there, it would seem out of place if she left alone!
Then, the hypocritical person happily drank the soup.
Mmm!
So fragrant!
"Xiao Xi, your dad's soup is really good!"
Wu Yanhua, who had drunk her fill, couldn't help but let out a burp without paying attention.
Qiu Xi's mouth curved up, "Just so-so~"
Finally!
She drank a lot less!
Seeing everyone finish, Qiu Xi even looked particularly happy while packing her things.
"Xiao Xi, give this to me, I'll throw it away."
After drinking someone else's, she couldn't let them throw away the trash themselves.
Qiu Xi didn't refuse, "Then I'll trouble you, Senior Sister."
"It's a small matter."
"Then I'll be going now, see you tomorrow."
"Okay."
As soon as Wu Yanhua left, the other three also packed up and went home without delay.
As for Teacher Su, he was called away before he finished his soup. He took the bowl with him and said he would drink while walking.
This was also a teacher who didn't stand on ceremony.
...
"Xiao Xi, why are you back?"
Seeing her daughter, who was supposed to return late at night, suddenly return, Mom Qiu found it strange.
Qiu Xi explained, "Mom, our mission was completed ahead of schedule, and the teacher gave us half a day off. We'll go talk to the client directly tomorrow."
"How was it? Did you eat?"
"Not yet."
Mom Qiu complained, "Then why aren't you smarter? Call home as soon as you leave school."
Although she complained verbally, Mom Qiu had already gotten up to prepare hot dishes as soon as Qiu Xi finished speaking.
There were elders at home, so they usually ate quite early, so the meals needed to be reheated.
"Mom, thank you for your hard work~"
Looking at her mother, who was sharp-tongued but kind-hearted, Qiu Xi smiled happily.
"Nonsense!"
"Of course, it's hard work!"
Qiu Xi's face turned dark, "..."
As expected, her family wasn't very suitable for emotional moments... everyone was an atmosphere killer.
"Here, eat."
"Okay."
Qiu Xi moved her chopsticks.
"Mom, where are Dad and the others?"
It was strange that the house was so quiet when she returned, and after looking around, there wasn't a single person.
Her whole family had just arrived, and apart from her master's family, there weren't many acquaintances. Where could they have gone?
"You wouldn't know about this."
"Your grandparents have only been here for two days and have already mingled with this circle of rich old gentlemen and ladies."
"Your grandfather is fine, shamelessly joining their chess games."
"Your grandmother, on the other hand, is quite capable. In this new territory, she already has her own dance troupe."
Speaking of this, Mom Qiu's smile never faded.
It was really that the old lady of the family had a very nimble tongue. She just strolled around the villa and, within a few days, had integrated into the circle of elderly ladies.
"As for your dad, he's quite idle, taking your brother out shopping."
"..."
Qiu Xi was speechless now!
She could understand her grandparents' personalities, but what was going on with her dad?
Taking his son shopping?
Had he been a househusband for too long and fallen in love with it?
Thinking about her dad's past self, she really couldn't imagine a tough guy pushing a shopping cart with his son in the supermarket.
The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became, so Qiu Xi quickly shook her head and buried her head in eating.
"Since you're back, you can go out and take a look later. Find your grandmother and the others, and get familiar with the environment together."
Mom Qiu looked at the person who was only focused on eating and spoke to herself regardless of whether she was listening.
With so much work, she probably hadn't even left the house, let alone gotten to know the neighbors.
"Did you hear me? It's good to go out and relax."
"I heard, I'll go after I finish eating."
It was good to take a break and walk around after stealing a moment of laziness.
"Then you eat, I'll go upstairs and call Aunt Zhang."
She was here, but her work hadn't been transferred, so she still had to be busy.
"Mom, you go ahead and be busy, don't worry about me."
"Okay."
She had drunk some chicken soup before returning, so Qiu Xi didn't eat for long before feeling slightly full.
After cleaning up, Qiu Xi slowly went out.
Although she hadn't visited much, she had thoroughly understood the area when she bought the property.
To take care of the elderly, a lot of money had been spent on building indoor entertainment facilities. wΑp.kanshu伍.net
Otherwise, at this time of day, it wouldn't be so pleasant outdoors.
So, following her limited memory, Qiu Xi felt her way there.
When she arrived, Qiu Xi was stunned.
She had underestimated her old "Buddha" of a grandmother!
Looking at the scene, she didn't dare to imagine.
Was this Compendium of Materia Medica for real?
As soon as she arrived, Qiu Xi was shocked by the music.
Although the sound was a bit faint through the door, she could still hear it!
So Qiu Xi quickly ran forward.
Phew! Fortunately...
Her grandmother hadn't regained her youth, the song was a popular hit, but the movements were still the same old style.
Her heart relaxed, Qiu Xi became lazy again, and finally, she quietly slipped to the back to observe the "Sunset Glow" dance troupe.
