Unlike their mother's love for the house and its inhabitants, the two children had different feelings.
Qi Zhenghan and Qi Zhengmin are young and have never met their grandmother.
Their love for their grandmother stemmed from their father's longing for her, so in terms of filial piety, parents are always the best role models for their children.
After arranging everything, Qi Shuliang checked his watch and said, "I'm worried about traffic, let's go ahead."
“Okay, darling, I’ll have the maid get ready. Let’s go to the airport first.” Anna agreed, quickly tidied her appearance, and followed her husband and children to the airport.
Along the way, apart from the family driver, Qi Shuliang and his family were very excited.
The family was in one car, followed by a seven-seater minivan.
The airport was always packed with people. They arrived an hour early and, instead of feeling bored or annoyed, they were even more excited.
Upon arriving at the airport, Qi Zhengmin and Qi Zhenghan held up a makeshift welcome sign that read "Grandmother".
Grandma Qi was a little nervous as they were about to get off the plane. But things went as planned.
This can be seen from the fact that she held He Tiantian's hand tightly the whole time.
"Grandma, don't be nervous," He Tiantian said with a smile. "It's a good thing, a good thing. What if you get too excited and it turns into a bad thing? Grandma, look, it's so exciting outside. We still need to explore properly. We can't get too excited and hurt ourselves, otherwise we won't have time or enjoy our shopping."
Grandma Qi took a few deep breaths to calm her complicated emotions.
"That's right, that's my son, why am I nervous!" Grandma Qi encouraged herself. "Even if I'm away for a long time, he's still my son."
He Tiantian gave a thumbs up and said, "Yes, Grandma, you should have that kind of spirit."
Huo Yingjun, who was behind him, was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this.
Grandma Qi is no ordinary old lady, and He Tiantian is no ordinary young girl either. How come their way of thinking is so special?
At the same time, Huo Yingjun also understood why his cousin Huo Yingjie liked this little girl!
Following the pedestrians, Grandma Qi, He Tiantian, and their group got off the plane.
The airport was crowded with people, and Huo Yingjun helped with the luggage.
He Tiantian only needed to carry her small bag and help Grandma Qi walk in front.
"Oh dear, everyone says socialism is good, but why do I find that the United States, an imperialist country, is also quite good? Putting aside everything else, look at this airport, with its huge buildings and big airplanes, and the cars on the road. It's much more developed than our country." Grandma Qi whispered to He Tiantian, her tone filled with envy and confusion.
in the country, there aren't many two-wheeled bicycles on the road, let alone four-wheeled cars.
Not only Grandma Qi San, but almost everyone who has been through this would think the same way!
A mix of confusion and excitement!
“Grandma, maybe we will develop like this in the future.” He Tiantian said with a smile. Even though she was just a small vendor selling braised meat in her previous life, she knew she was wrong. Even though China is very developed in the future, it has not caught up with the United States.
However, the ubiquitous presence of skyscrapers and the constant flow of vehicles have indeed become a reality.
"I hope so. Maybe you can see it, but I, this old body, won't be able to," Grandma Qi said with a sigh, looking at the new things around her with great curiosity.
Finally, they reached the exit. Huo Yingjun glanced at the crowd and saw Qi Shuliang's family standing at the very front!
"Grandma Qi, look ahead," Huo Yingjun said with a smile, pointing to the distance.
Grandma Qi was unaware that her son would be picking her up at the airport; she thought Huo Yingjun hadn't informed his family.
Following Huo Yingjun's direction, Grandma Qi and He Tiantian looked towards the distance.
Grandma Qi stopped in her tracks and did not move forward!
She stared intently at the man not far away!
That was her son; she was absolutely certain even at just one glance!
The moment Grandma Qi saw her son, all the grievances and longing in her heart vanished, leaving only happiness. So she didn't shed any tears, but instead smiled and quietly looked at her son, Princess Qianjin.
Amidst the bustling crowd, only Grandma Qi remained calm and quiet.
"Grandma, Grandma..." He Tiantian called softly, "They can't come in. Let's not stand here, let's go out."
"Okay!" Grandma Qi said with a smile. She wasn't nervous or excited at all. Seeing her son had relieved her of all worries and concerns, so she was very calm.
Meanwhile, Qi Shu saw his mother and was so excited that he cried and laughed all the time.
Qi Zhengmin and Qi Zhenghan also saw the old lady in the cheongsam not far away. She looked just like the old lady in their family photo. She was their grandmother.
"Grandmother..." Qi Zhengmin's childish and high-pitched voice sounded even clearer in the noisy airport.
"Yes!" Grandma Qi replied and walked towards her son's family.
Following the crowd, Grandma Qi and He Tiantian finally emerged.
Qi Shuliang rushed to his grandmother's side, but instead of embracing his mother as Westerners do, he knelt down with a thud and kowtowed three times, choking back tears as he said, "Your unfilial son..."
In the past, the first thing people did when returning home was to kowtow to their parents.
A man's knees are worth more than gold; he only kneels to heaven, earth, and his parents!
Westerners passing by were puzzled to see a well-dressed middle-aged Asian man behaving this way in a public place.
They didn't understand Eastern etiquette or the language, but Qi Shuliang's overflowing passion infected those around him, and no one criticized or ridiculed him.
Qi Zhenghan, Qi Zhengmin, and Anna, who were behind her, also followed their husbands' example and knelt down and kowtowed to Grandma Qi.
Seeing this, Grandma Qi felt a lump in her throat. She reached out and helped her son up, saying, "Alright, you're all grown up, why are you still crying! You should get up too. I already know how you feel."
Qi Shuliang got up with his mother's help, looking at her with teary eyes.
Grandma Qi took out a handkerchief and gently wiped away her son's tears, saying, "Don't cry, let's go home!"
Qi Shuliang nodded and said, "Yes, Mother!"
He Tiantian whispered a reminder, "Grandma, your grandson and granddaughter are looking at you curiously!"
Grandma Qi smiled and said, "They're all good children, don't cry."
She reached out and lovingly touched her eldest grandson, Qi Zhenghan, who was even taller than her. He looked so much like her son when he was young.
When her gaze focused on her granddaughter Qi Zhengmin's face, Grandma Qi smiled. The little girl had big, wavy hair like her mother, but her face shape was just like hers.
"This girl looks like me," Grandma Qi said with a smile, looking at Anna. "Anna, thank you for your hard work."
“It’s no trouble at all, Mom!” Anna said excitedly. “It’s so nice to see you. The house is all ready, let’s go home together.” (To be continued.)
