On the afternoon of the 30th, Zong Jia and He Zhongyuan pushed two suitcases to take them to the airport.
When Jiang Xiaoli went downstairs, she realized that her mother had packed two suitcases of luggage.
"Mom, we're only going back for a few days, we don't need to bring so much stuff, right?"
Li Guizhi rolled her eyes at her daughter, "You think all of this is yours? Dream on! The white box is something I brought for your Aunt Xu and the others."
Jiang Xiaoli really couldn't think of anything good to bring from Kyoto.
Li Guizhi pulled her into the car, "Your Uncle Xiao and Aunt Xu both like Daoxiangcun pastries, and Xiaoyu, I asked Xiao Zong to pick out some college entrance exam study materials for her!"
It's packed with books!
No wonder she couldn't lift that suitcase when she tried to.
She hugged Li Guizhi's arm and said, "Mom, I'm careless and you're careful. We're a perfect match!"
Li Guizhi chuckled lightly, "Stop making excuses for your carelessness. I don't have high expectations for you now, just don't lose yourself."
She pouted, "Mom, you're underestimating me a bit. My brain is like a living map; even if Yuan Ge is lost, I can't lose him!"
Zhong Yuan protested from the front, "Little Pear, I only took the wrong turn once, can you just forget about it?"
Yesterday, Zhong Yuan went to meet a client in the suburbs of Beijing. On his way home, he drove all the way to Xianghe and almost had to spend the night in Hebei Province.
Jiang Xiaoli winked at him, "Brother Yuan, you know I have a great memory, but if you bribe me, I might be able to block out this memory."
Zhong Yuan feigned a pained expression, "I'll treat you when you get back from Kyoto. You can choose wherever you want to eat!"
She pouted and thought for a few seconds, then Zhong Yuan immediately added, "Two meals! No more than that!"
"Hehe, deal!"
Li Guizhi patted her daughter's leg and said, "I cook different dishes for you every day, but you still always want to eat out. You're so ungrateful!"
Jiang Xiaoli quickly comforted her, "Mom, I'm going to scout out the enemy situation for you. I'll report back to you after I eat what other restaurants have special dishes!"
Li Guizhi glanced at her with a smile, "You glutton, you always have so many excuses!"
Zong Jia drove steadily and quickly, and they arrived at the airport in no time.
Li Guizhi and Zhong Yuan pushed their suitcases ahead, while Zong Jiayu gently hooked Jiang Xiaoli's little finger behind them.
"Little Pear, come back early after you're done with your business."
Jiang Xiaoli turned to look at him and said, "I know, you clingy brat!"
Zong Jia chuckled, looking indulgent and accommodating. "Yeah, I'm so clingy, you'd better come back early."
Jiang Xiaoli glanced at the two people walking ahead, chatting happily. She took two steps to Zong Jiayu, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him on the lips.
"Seal it for me, I'll unseal it when I get back."
Zong Jia was startled by her action. He also glanced ahead and said, "Little Pear, I really want to lose the game right now."
Jiang Xiaoli's eyes widened. "Hey, hey, hey, this isn't fun anymore!"
As the two of them stared at each other, Zhong Yuan called out from the front, "Little Pear, bring your ID here!"
As Jiang Xiaoli took her ID card out of her bag, she whispered a threat to her boyfriend, "If you deliberately expose yourself, I won't talk to you anymore!"
Zong Jia chuckled and said indulgently, "Alright, alright, I'll do whatever you say!"
Zong Jia and Zhong Yuan accompanied them to check in their luggage and watched them pass through security before leaving.
This was their first time taking a night flight back to Xi'an, and Li Guizhi was a little worried. "Xiao Li, won't the pilot be able to see clearly at night?"
Jiang Xiaoli sat by the window and pointed to the indicator lights on the runway outside, smiling as she reassured her, "Mom, don't worry, look at the lights outside, they're even easier to see than during the day!"
Li Guizhi looked at it and laughed, "Haha, indeed, why was I worrying about this for no reason!"
The flight attendant serving her smiled and said, "Ms. Li, our plane will not take off if the flight conditions are not met, please rest assured."
Li Guizhi nodded. "Okay, thank you."
After the flight attendant went to the back to serve other people, she quietly asked her daughter, "Xiaoli, how did this flight attendant know my surname is Li?"
Jiang Xiaoli patted their seats. "Mom, look at these seats and then look at the seats behind the curtain. We're in first class. The flight attendants will find out our information and preferences in advance."
Li Guizhi stood up, looked at the seats behind her, and then came back and said, "Hehe, this is the first time I've known that airplane seats are different. I've never noticed before."
Jiang Xiaoli whispered in her ear, "It's okay if you don't know, our family's savings will ensure that you never have to worry about saving money to buy economy class tickets!"
Li Guizhi chuckled and pinched her nose, "You little rascal, you really know how to enjoy life! You really need to earn more money, otherwise it won't be enough for you to live on."
She leaned back lazily in her chair. "If I make money and don't know how to enjoy it, what's the point of making money?"
Li Guizhi couldn't figure out the reason, so she nodded, "That's right, I've figured it out. As long as I live happily and comfortably every day, that's enough!"
Jiang Xiaoli snapped her fingers. "That's the right way to think! So you can open your private restaurant whenever you want, or just stay home if you don't want to. Don't take it too seriously!"
Hearing this, Li Guizhi became unhappy. "That won't do. I'm in the middle of something great. How come you're allowed to run a company, but I'm being constantly stopped from opening a shop?"
Jiang Xiaoli sighed, "I was just worried that you would overwork yourself."
Li Guizhi patted her daughter's hand with a smile, "You little busybody! Don't worry, I'll definitely know to rest when I'm tired, so don't try to discourage me."
She had no choice but to surrender, "Fine, I'll keep an eye on you anyway!"
At 9:40 p.m., the plane landed smoothly in Xi'an.
The Xiao family of three were waiting at the arrivals gate.
When Jiang Xiaoli came out and saw them, she warmly hugged Xiao Muyu, but was then bumped by a hard object.
She clutched her chest and took two steps back. "What did you take? Trying to assassinate me?"
Xiao Muyu shook the vocabulary book in her hand helplessly, "Who told you to just pounce on me like that?"
Jiang Xiaoli put her arm around her shoulder like a big sister, "You're studying very hard!"
Xiao Jincheng took the luggage cart that Li Guizhi was pushing from the side and said, "That's right! Your aunt makes good food for you every day to nourish your body, but I still think Xiaoyu has lost weight."
Jiang Xiaoli looked at Xiao Muyu's face and said, "You have indeed lost some weight. You've really put in a lot of hardship! Xiaoyu, hang in there!"
Xiao Muyu sighed, "It seems like Teacher Chen is training us all to be top scorers in the college entrance examination. I scored 710 points in the mock exam a couple of days ago, and he said I still need to work harder."
"Pfft!" Jiang Xiaoli couldn't help but chuckle. "That's a bit too harsh, isn't it? It's alright, you guys still have classes these two days, I'll go talk to Old Chen!"
