Chapter 109 Teacher Qin, everyone's on holiday, how come you're busier than me?
Shi Qingman walked downstairs with a cold face. When she saw the two people sitting there drinking tea, she paused for a moment, glanced indifferently at Qin Shuzhi, and then said to Qiao Wenbo, "Let's go."
Are we leaving already?
As Qiao Wenbo spoke, he got up and walked over, looking at Shi Qingman with gentle eyes, "Didn't you say you'd chat with Grandma for a while tonight?"
"I told Grandma I'll come back another day."
Although Shi Qingman wasn't as aggressive when she spoke to him as she was when she spoke to the housekeeper, her face still showed signs of anger. After speaking, she turned and walked towards the door.
Qiao Wenbo wanted to say something more, but seeing this, he could only turn around and smile apologetically at Qin Shuzhi, saying, "Sister-in-law, we'll head back now. Please tell Uncle Shi and Yuanxing for us later."
"Okay." Qin Shuzhi stood up. "Goodbye."
"goodbye."
After Qiao Wenbo finished speaking, he caught up with Shi Qingman, carried her bag, and they went out together.
Qin Shuzhi watched the two people leave, her brows furrowing thoughtfully.
She only saw Shi Qingman a few times at the Shi Mansion, but it seemed that every time, she left in a fit of anger.
Qin Shuzhi couldn't help but wonder if Shi Yuanxing's meetings with her always ended in such an unpleasant way when he returned home in the past.
He must have felt terrible in this oppressive and indifferent atmosphere.
No wonder he's been staying abroad for years and hasn't come back.
Thinking of all this, Qin Shuzhi couldn't help but feel sorry for her Mr. Shi.
There was a noise coming from the stairs. Qin Shuzhi turned her head and saw that the old lady had come down.
She stepped over and helped her up.
"Grandma, what happened to my sister just now?"
Madam Shi sighed and said, "It's nothing. A maid accidentally moved her ballet trophy on her table while cleaning her room, and she got angry when she saw it."
ah?
Did you get angry and leave because of this?
Qin Shuzhi was somewhat taken aback.
Seeing her confusion, Madam Shi explained, "That was the first and only ballet trophy she received after her mother left, and she has always treasured it."
"So that's how it is."
Qin Shuzhi helped the woman to sit down on the sofa and couldn't help but ask, "Grandma, when you used to travel far away and meet with your sister, it was always like this... you didn't say a word to each other?"
Speaking of this, the old lady's face was full of worry and helplessness. "After he went abroad, the siblings didn't have many opportunities to meet. Occasionally when he returned to China, they would only sit down for a meal together after his father and I asked. The siblings barely spoke a few words to each other all year round."

When Shi Yuanxing came downstairs, he saw Qin Shuzhi sitting alone on the sofa in the living room.
"Why are you all alone? Where is Grandma?"
He went over and asked.
"Grandma went to the kitchen and said that they had recently developed some new desserts and wanted to make some for us to take home and eat."
Seeing him say "Oh" and glance around, Qin Shuzhi said, "My sister and the others have gone back."
Upon hearing this, Shi Yuanxing simply gave a faint "hmm" and then sat down beside her.
"Dad called you... just to discuss business, right?"
Seeing how cautiously she asked the question, Shi Yuanxing felt like teasing her. He pitifully drooped his eyes and leaned into her arms, saying, "Not only that, but he also scolded me."
"You really got scolded."
Qin Shuzhi gently lifted his head, which was buried in her chest, with a touch of tenderness. "Is it really because of what happened at the dinner table? Then, what did Dad say to you?"
"Hmm." Shi Yuanxing took the opportunity to lift his head and peck her pink lips. "He said I wasn't paying attention to my meal and was only looking at my beautiful wife."
Qin Shuzhi was stunned for a few seconds, then she saw the flaw in his smiling eyes.
"You're lying." Qin Shuzhi pushed him away. "These words don't sound like they came from Dad."
"How is that lying?"
Shi Yuanxing moved closer to her and kissed the tip of her ear. "Didn't I just stick to you the whole time we were eating? Hmm?"
"You should be more mindful of your image."
Qin Shuzhi pushed away the man who was clinging to her, "Stop kissing me."
"I can't even kiss my own wife?"
"This isn't Yushui Bay; someone will see us soon."
"Aren't we the only ones here?"
"That won't do either, stop messing around~"
"Okay, give me a kiss and I won't make a fuss."
"don't want."
"Shall we kiss?"
"Not intimate."
"Okay, then I'll kiss you."
"You..."
...
As Madam Shi stood at the kitchen doorway, watching her grandson in the living room clinging to her daughter-in-law like a mischievous child, a warmth unconsciously welled up in her smiling eyes.
Such a journey is what makes it vibrant and alive.
Finally, when the two left the Shi Mansion, Old Madam Shi packed them a lot of snacks.
Qin Shuzhi was both amused and exasperated. "Grandma, there are only two of us. How can we possibly eat this much?"
The old lady smiled kindly, "It's alright, you can take the extra back to school and share it with your colleagues."
"Okay," Qin Shuzhi agreed with a smile, then said to Old Madam Shi at the front door.
"Grandma, it's windy outside, so please don't come out to deliver it."
"Okay, sure."
The old lady stood in front of the gate, watching the two walk into the yard, and didn't forget to remind them, "Drive carefully on your long journey."
"Okay, Grandma."
Shi Yuanxing turned around and waved to her, "Go back now, we'll come back to see you another day."

As the weather grew colder and the semester drew to a close, Qin Shuzhi and Shi Yuanxing finally finalized their honeymoon itinerary.
The two decided to visit Finland to see the Northern Lights, and then travel to Norway and Sweden for a few days before finally arriving in country Y.
It will last for half a month.
I will spend New Year's Eve in Country Y, and I plan to return to China on the third day of the Lunar New Year.
In the weeks leading up to winter break, Qin Shuzhi was busy preparing for her trip. She had never been so excited about a trip before, and she was in a great mood every day, just looking forward to the day of departure.
Finally, the winter break arrived as scheduled.
A week later, the final exam results came out.
Qin Shuzhi's three classes all achieved good results in the English assessment, especially her third class, whose overall performance exceeded her expectations.
When Qin Shuzhi received the report cards of her students, she found that the class as a whole had improved in all subjects compared to the midterm exam.
Of course, there were also a few students whose grades were not up to par or who did not perform well. Qin Shuzhi carefully reviewed and analyzed each of their learning situations in each subject, and then made a small plan based on each student's specific circumstances. He planned to provide some assistance to them in their studies after the start of the new school year next year, so that they could catch up more smoothly.
When Shi Yuanxing came out after taking a shower, he found her in the study, diligently making a teaching summary.
"Teacher Qin, everyone's on holiday, how come you're busier than me?"
He leaned back on the table, watching the woman in the chair who was busy with her head down.
Qin Shuzhi didn't even look up, just pushed up her glasses. "I'm just trying to finish my work quickly so I can have a more comfortable trip."
At this point, she seemed to remember something and looked up at him, her eyes still showing some concern. "We're going away for more than half a month this time. Are you sure it's okay for you to be away from the company for so long?"
