346
Once on the plane, Grandma Qi looked around like a curious child.
"Sweetie, let me sit by the airplane window. I want to see what's below," Grandma Qi said excitedly. She never thought she would have the chance to ride on an airplane. She was determined to look down from high in the sky.
“Okay!” He Tiantian agreed and helped Grandma Qi San sit inside.
The plane took off, and He Tiantian fastened Grandma Qi's seatbelt as instructed on the announcement.
Grandma Qi sat on the side, waiting for the plane to take off.
As the plane took off and climbed, Grandma Qi felt a little discomfort in her ears, but there were no other problems.
"Grandma, open your mouth," He Tiantian reminded her. "This will help reduce the tinnitus!"
Grandma Qi opened her mouth slightly, and indeed it was a little better than before.
Once the plane reached the stratosphere and gradually stabilized, the previous discomfort completely disappeared.
"Grandma, what would you like to drink?" He Tiantian asked. "There's juice, cola, and warm water here. Bye-bye, Miss Gold."
Grandma Qi thought for a moment and said, "Let's have some boiled water."
He Tiantian got some hot water for Grandma Qi, and she got herself a glass of juice.
Huo Yingjun felt that bringing He Tiantian along this time was absolutely the right decision.
Along the way, He Tiantian was there, taking good care of Grandma Qi.
If Grandma Qi's health deteriorates on the way, even if he did it to reunite her and her son, Qi Shu would not appreciate it.
Grandma Qi looked at the fluffy white clouds outside and wished she could collect some of them and put them away.
After the initial excitement wore off, Grandma Qi went to the bathroom and, upon returning, drifted off to sleep.
After waking up, I ate and listened to the music on the plane.
However, most of the music was rock, and Grandma Qi found a few Kunqu opera pieces among them, which she listened to with great interest.
Seeing Grandma Qi's relaxed state, He Tiantian once again marveled at Grandma Qi's strong heart.
She, as a follower, accompanied Grandma Qi to America, and was amazed and a little nervous the whole way. In contrast, Grandma Qi was curious but not nervous at all.
After more than ten hours of flight, a pleasant voice came over the loudspeaker that we were finally about to land.
He Tiantian fastened Grandma Qi's seatbelt again, tidied up the small table in front of her, and waited for landing.
As the plane descended, Grandma Qi even remembered to open her mouth to relieve her tinnitus symptoms.
"Grandma, we've arrived in America," He Tiantian said with a smile, helping Grandma Qi San off the plane.
Huo Yingjie followed behind Grandma Qi, carrying her luggage.
"Brother Yingjun, have you notified Uncle Qi to come and pick up Grandma?" He Tiantian asked. Right now, the person Grandma Qi San wanted to see most was Qi Shuliang.
Huo Yingjun smiled and said, "Grandma Qi, please don't mind. We didn't tell Mr. Qi beforehand, because we were afraid he would be too nervous!"
"It's alright," said Grandma Qi. "Then let's go find him and give him a surprise!"
surprise?
Grandma Qi, do you have to be so ahead of your time and so adorable?
“Hehe, Grandma Qi, not yet. We still have a flight to New York tomorrow,” Huo Yingjie explained. “Flights from Hong Kong to New York usually have a layover here.”
Grandma Qi was a little disappointed, but she quickly smiled and said, "Oh dear, I've already arrived on the other side of the ocean. It's only a matter of time before I see my son!"
Huo Yingjun was very grateful for Grandma Qi's cooperation, and the group settled in at the hotel.
The next morning, I boarded a plane to New York.
Before going, Huo Yingjun called Qi Shuliang.
"YSpeaking!" Qi Shu answered the phone, his magnetic and refined voice coming through the line.
Huo Yingjun smiled and said, "Mr. Qi, I've brought Madam Qi to America. We'll arrive at noon. Please come and pick us up, Little Chef [Rebirth]."
Qi Shu was taken aback. Huo Yingjun was a very polite young man. If it were an ordinary person, he wouldn't have asked him to pick him up personally.
Qi Shu gripped the phone tightly, a little nervous, and asked cautiously yet hopefully, "Is...is...my mother?"
"Yes," Huo Yingjun replied affirmatively.
"How is Mother? She must have had a long and tiring journey." Qi Shuliang stood up, as if his mother were standing on the other end of the phone.
"Can I talk to my mother?" Qi Shuliang asked, his eyes brimming with tears and his voice trembling.
"Grandma Qi has already boarded the train. I think it's best not to let her get too excited right now. We can discuss everything once we get to your place, okay?" Huo Yingjun suggested. If the old lady gets too excited and something happens to her on the plane, he would be mortified!
"Okay, okay!" Qi Shuliang thought about it and pleaded, "Please, you must take good care of my mother!"
“It’s what we should do,” Huo Yingjun said. “We have to catch a flight, see you later.”
"See you later, see you later." Qi Shuliang was more polite than ever before, his excitement and joy evident on his face.
Anna came out of the restaurant, and Qi Zhengmin and Qi Zhenghan, who had already changed into their school uniforms, said, "Dad, we're going to school."
"What's the point of going to school!" Qi Shuliang shouted. "Today, your father will teach you the most important lesson of your lives!"
Anna, Qi Zhenghan, and Qi Zhengmin stared in disbelief at Qi Shuliang's unusual behavior.
“Honey, what’s wrong?” Anna asked. “If they don’t leave soon, they’ll be late for school.”
Qi Shuliang stepped forward to hug his wife, patted his son's shoulder, and stroked his son's head, saying, "Your grandmother has arrived in America. She'll be at the airport at noon, and we're going to pick her up!"
"Mother?"
"grandmother?"
Anna, Qi Zhenghan, and Qi Zhengmin were astonished.
“Yes, my mother is also your grandmother.” Qi Shuliang’s eyes were filled with tears. “Today, your father will be teaching you an important lesson: filial piety! I haven’t done well in the past, and I hope you can do it well.”
Anna was also very moved when she heard this. That was her husband's mother, and also her mother. She loved her husband, so she would love her mother-in-law as well.
“Zhenghan, Zhengmin, call your teacher to ask for leave and tell them that the most important person in your lives has arrived and our family is going to pick them up,” Anna instructed. “Honey, you should call your company and adjust your work schedule for today. As for me, I’ll prepare a comfortable room for Mom right away so she can stay more comfortably.”
Upon hearing his wife's words, Qi Shuliang realized that he had forgotten everything in his excitement!
Qi Zhenghan had his son and daughter ask for leave first before he called the company's secretary and senior management, saying he couldn't come to the company today and would have to manage the company's daily operations. He added that if it was something important and he couldn't decide, they could discuss it tomorrow.
After taking leave, Qi Zhenghan and Qi Zhengmin helped their mother tidy up their grandmother's room. (To be continued.)
