"How could this be?" Qiao Xiaoni counted the days. She had only been here for less than two months. How could this person be dying already?
Although I knew that Qiao Sunshi was not in good health before she left, I did not expect her to leave so soon.
Su Chenhao sighed: "The weather has been quite cold lately, so I probably caught a cold, which worsened my condition. I could see that I was getting seriously ill."
I checked, and there are train tickets available tonight. Should we pack our things and leave tonight?
Qiao Xiaoni: "Yes, with something like this happening, we need to go back and check on things. I'll go ask the principal for leave first, and you can go home and pack your things."
Su Chenhao nodded: "Then walk slowly, there's still snow on the ground and no flowers yet!"
Qiao Xiaoni waved and turned to leave in a hurry; the principal should still be in his office at this time.
Thinking about the exams this week, I hope he will agree to let me take the day off.
office.
Meng Xi was tidying up the things on the table when she heard footsteps coming from outside, followed by a knock on the door. She went to the door and opened it.
Qiao Xiaoni, panting heavily, leaned against the door, intending to wait until she caught her breath before speaking.
"What happened?" Meng Xi asked, seeing her panting heavily. It was clear that something serious had happened.
After catching her breath, Qiao Xiaoni said, "Principal, my grandmother is seriously ill, and I need to ask for leave to go home. It will be at least a week. All the teachers have already left work, so I came to tell you."
"It's that serious. Be careful on your way back. Give me a call if anything happens."
"I'll grant you a week's leave first." Meng Xi readily agreed in her reply.
Students wouldn't ask for leave for something like this; the passing of an elderly family member is indeed a serious matter.
"Thank you, Principal." Qiao Xiaoni didn't have time to say more and turned to leave hurriedly. She still had things to pack when she got home. On the way, she could check on the barbecue restaurant and tell Xiao Gu that it shouldn't be open for the time being; everything would be discussed when she returned.
They quickly returned upstairs, where Su Chenhao had already tidied up the room.
Actually, there's no need to bring much. Everyone brought a few clothes, a water bottle, and some snacks.
Su Chenhao was in charge of carrying the bags, while Qiao Xiaoni went to the kitchen at the last minute to turn off the power, checked that the faucet was working properly, and then closed the door and left.
After going downstairs, I hailed a taxi and got in.
Qiao Xiaoni: "Let's go to the store and tell them not to open for the next few days."
"Okay." Su Chenhao then told the driver the address.
After the driver started the car, he smiled and said, "I've eaten your barbecue skewers before, I went with two other brothers."
I don't know if you two remember, but the three of us drank a whole case of beer and didn't go home until well past midnight.
After hearing what he said, Su Chenhao recalled in his mind that there really were a few such people.
He almost thought they were drunk and was afraid they would cause trouble, so he kept a close eye on them. He wasn't relieved until they paid the bill and left.
“I remember now, that’s right. You guys drank a bit too much that day, and I was keeping an eye on you, afraid you’d smash up the place.”
"Haha! It happened to be my birthday that night, and they were happy, so they drank a bit more with me."
Why don't you sell barbecue anymore? My friends and I went there a few times and they only sold noodles. Although the noodles were good, I still think the barbecue was better.
Gathering around a barbecue in winter, and sipping freshly cooked meat broth, is simply heavenly.
