Xia Youyou couldn't count how many times it happened, but she always fell asleep in anger in the end.
When she woke up the next day, the man was gone from the room. She pounded the bed in anger, thinking he would sleep in the study tonight!
After I finished packing, I stood up and opened the door to see Wang Cuifen already started packing in the room where my grandfather lived.
Apart from the four rooms they had reserved for last night, the rest were the two grandfathers' rooms, Ziqiu and Zidong's double room, and the large bunk bed on the second floor.
Although it is our family who live here, we still need to change the sheets and quilt covers when we receive guests.
Xia Youyou helped to clean up, and Wang Cuifen didn't stop her. She could only try to move faster and do more.
After cleaning up, the two of them took the changed sheets to the second floor to wash them.
Just as Xia Youyou was about to go into the water, Qi Siling came up and stopped her.
Wang Cuifen also snatched the soap from her hand and pushed her away.
Xia Youyou had no choice but to give up and be dragged away.
He went downstairs, shook off the hand, ignored it, and walked out.
Qi Siling approached, trying to please him and apologizing. "Be good, I won't move tonight."
Jin, an idler guarding the small supermarket, only stood up when he saw the two men approaching. He had been on guard the previous night and still couldn't sleep. It was the second day of work and he was excited and full of fighting spirit. The work was not tiring and the food was good. He couldn't find such a good job anywhere else!
Qi Siling asked him to go and rest. She just wanted to go up and see if the little girl had gotten up, so she asked him to stay here and watch over her.
As soon as Xianren Jin left, Qi Siling got close to Xia Youyou, who was keeping accounts.
"Go away and don't bother me." Xia Youyou was furious and scratched his strong arm with her claws.
It was just the beginning of summer, and Qi Siling was only wearing a simple white shirt. He had rolled up his sleeves when he was wiping the shelves just now, and when she scratched him, four nail marks appeared on his arm.
Xia Youyou didn't control her strength, and seeing that his arm turned red instantly, she quickly helped him blow it, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't control my strength. Why didn't you dodge!" She said while blowing with some annoyance, it seemed that her nails needed to be cut.
Qi Siling grabbed her little hand and said, "It's okay, it's just a little red. You don't have to apologize to me." Never.
Xia Youyou's temper lasted less than ten minutes before she was calmed down by a self-torture trick that couldn't really be called a self-torture trick.
The man smiled secretly in his heart and sat beside her, watching her record the account book stroke by stroke.
"When do we leave?"
Although we had to wait for the guesthouse to stabilize at that time, we don’t have much to worry about now and can pack up and set off.
"I'll make a call later. I'll take you to the flower garden tomorrow and leave early the day after tomorrow." I asked Fu Zhengqi last time. The research institute is in Beijing, but the base is not here. They need to go to the research institute first and then take a plane to Haishi.
Xia Youyou bit the tip of her pen, unable to imagine what airplanes were like in this era. "Is it dangerous to fly?" she asked worriedly. "Or maybe we should take the train."
"Baby, the train ride takes too long. I'm afraid you'll get tired." Hai City isn't Bao City; it's hundreds of kilometers away, and it would take two or three days to get there by train. Besides, this girl's excitement will probably only last for a short while; if she sits for too long, her body won't feel comfortable.
Xia Youyou nodded and stopped worrying.
"We need a receptionist for our guesthouse, but we don't have anyone suitable." Last night, Aunt Li suggested letting her daughter try. But she was just a temporary factory worker, and who would give up a stable job that was about to get her permanent job to work here as a receptionist? She wasn't sure if it would be stable. So she had no hope at all.
"Let's talk about it tomorrow. Even if Aunt Li's daughter wants to resign, it will take time to sell her job. Don't be impatient. There are not many customers in the guesthouse right now anyway. Xianren Jin can watch it, and mom will come over when she is free." Qi Siling didn't want her to worry too much, and her mind was full of things about the guesthouse every day.
He tucked her hair behind her ears, which had fallen down from her doing the accounting, and leaned in to kiss her little face. "Leave it to your brother. He's the decision maker. He can't rely on you for everything."
"Hey, don't kiss me all the time, this is outside! I haven't even settled accounts with you for what happened last night!" If you say that they used to just let things flow naturally, he was like a beast last night! She fell asleep, but he still pressed her down, and she was so annoyed that she was finally let go.
"I kiss my love, who dares to stop me? The marriage certificate is my life-saving talisman." The man was fearless and leaned forward to kiss her again.
"That's enough!" The words "lover" in her ear made her heart flutter, and she shrank her neck to avoid his burning heat. "Let's not go to the flower garden. We'll talk about it later when there's a chance." Xia Youyou put down her pen and turned around, facing him. Her small hands grabbed the buttons of his shirt on his chest, pulling at them intermittently. "Actually, I want to go back to the old house. We haven't been back since we moved here."
That was the place where she felt a sense of belonging, besides her home in Baoshi.
Qi Siling stroked her hair lovingly, "I'll do as you say. Let's go back to the old house tomorrow and then go to the flower garden."
Let's do this first and make a decision. Then, when the family sits together in the evening, we'll talk about it. Cao An is reluctant to leave. They've never been apart since they met. It's hard to leave her for such a long time.
But he didn't say anything, just carefully reminded her, "You must take good care of her and remember what I said when you two got married."
Qi Siling nodded seriously, "Don't worry."
Xia Youyou held Liu Hui's arm, her small hand clasping Cao An's large palm. His hands were calloused from years of lifting stones, scratching against the back of her tender hand, a slight itch. "Brother~" Perhaps only she could fully grasp the profound impact of this sudden departure. Ever since she'd traveled here, Cao An had always been her protective umbrella. Whether she was navigating the black market or running the Anhai Company, this man had always supported her unconditionally, never once doubting her.
If they were just in Beijing, they could still come back from time to time, but they were going to Hai City, hundreds of kilometers away. Liu Hui was reluctant to leave, and she pulled her aside, giving her earnest instructions. "Take care of your health. Avoid strenuous exercise or running. Don't eat raw or cold food. Make sure to eat on time..."
Xia Youyou didn't want to cry, so she tried to distract them with other things. She pulled out the account book and all the company money, tallied up all the expenses, the restaurant income, and the small supermarket income, and handed it all over to Cao An. "Take care of it for a while, I'll help you when I get back." She would be back as soon as possible!
What Haishi needs is a faster computer, and there are more advanced and higher voltage computers that can drive vacuum tube computers.
The next morning, the two of them packed up and boarded the bus back to their old home. Looking out the window at their family waving at them, Xia Youyou couldn't help but tear up.
Qi Siling grabbed her little hand, squeezed it tightly, and comforted her in a low voice. "Don't cry, don't make Mom worry."
The vehicle slowly moved away until the platform was no longer visible.
