The school had three days off for the Mid-Autumn Festival. On the first day, Meng Qidi almost slept at home all day. She almost stayed up all night to write her thesis the day before.
I went to bed at four in the morning.
After being robbed once, even though Zhao Hong had been caught, she still didn't feel comfortable letting the things pass to other people. After all, these were all the old man's hard work...
She would fall asleep as soon as she lay down on the bed during the day.
Zhao Dezhong, who also stayed up all night, couldn't sleep. He left the staff dormitory early in the morning with dark circles under his eyes and his thesis...
Meng Qidi slept until she woke up naturally, and when she opened her eyes it was already afternoon.
Fortunately, the Mid-Autumn Festival is tomorrow, otherwise, her father and Uncle Yi would be very anxious if they couldn’t find anyone.
Originally, it was thought that Ling Xiao would not be able to make it back for the Mid-Autumn Festival, so Meng Qidi went to Mr. Qiu Sanye early in the morning.
The only servant was on holiday, and Meng Qidi was afraid that Yi Bo would be too busy in the kitchen alone, so she went to help.
Mr. Qiu was helpless. In the hall that was once bustling with people, he was the only one left in the blink of an eye...
He couldn't possibly go to the kitchen too, could he? Never mind. Xiaoqi was there to help, but he would be making matters worse.
Just as he was thinking about going back to the study to read to kill time, the doorbell rang. Mr. Qiu frowned and didn't want to open the door, but the doorbell kept ringing...
He wanted to curse, he was sure that the person who came was not Ling Xiao, he and Xiao Qi both had the keys to the house.
Just as the wheelchair was rolled out of the door, the door suddenly opened and Ling Xiao came in, followed by several people from the Qiu family with gloomy faces.
It was obvious that he was unhappy about being left out for so long.
"Old Third, how come he has the key to your place?"
"Ling Xiao, why did you let everyone in?"
Two questioning voices sounded at the same time.
Mr. Qiu San ignored the previous question, but when asked the latter question, the faces of the Qiu family members changed drastically...
Ling Xiao said innocently, "It's not my fault. They knocked for a long time and I watched for a long time. Didn't they come here before eating? I was afraid that you wouldn't wait for me, so I just opened the door..."
As a result, these people squeezed in, saying they were relatives of his father-in-law, and looked at him like a thief. He was innocent too...
"I'm asking you, how come he has the key to your place?" Old Master Qiu Bingwen was a little unhappy that his son ignored them.
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and he specially brought his family over to celebrate the festival and give him a surprise. For so many years, he has been alone in the country, and he must be happy to have a reunion dinner this year. But...
Third Master Qiu said calmly, "I guess Xiao Qi gave it to him. Xiao Qi knows her, right? She is Mr. Zhao's student Meng Qidi. I like that girl very much, so I asked her to come over for dinner."
Thinking of the key that he and his wife each had, Ling Xiao's mouth twitched. He had originally planned to go directly to his wife, but now he obviously found that there was something wrong with his father-in-law and his family...
Afraid that he would be bullied by those people, he quickly pushed the wheelchair and looked at them warily.
That’s right, he looked defensive, and he did it on purpose.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is a time for family reunion dinner. Since the Third Master doesn’t get along with his family, he certainly doesn’t want to eat with them.
As expected, the old man of the Qiu family was very angry, puffing his beard and glaring, "What's with that expression on your face? Who are you guarding against? We are here to celebrate the festival! I am his eldest brother!"
After saying that, he shook the basket in his hand.
It seemed that they came with sincerity. Almost everyone in the Qiu family, except Old Man Qiu, had a basket in their hands.
Well, that's good, they are all here to prepare for the festival for his cheap father-in-law.
Ling Xiao shrugged innocently, "Sorry, I thought you were here to rob..."
I originally thought that Mr. Qiu would definitely not welcome someone who came in uninvited... but I didn't expect that...
He glanced at the others and told Ling Xiao, "Come in, Xiao Qi is in the kitchen."
Ling Xiao nodded, sent the person to the hall and left, leaving the space to this group of abnormal Qiu family members.
Noticing someone at the door, Meng Qidi turned her head subconsciously. When she saw Ling Xiao, she was full of joy and surprise, "Why are you back?"
Ling Xiao walked towards her, his eyes full of longing, "Well, I was afraid that you would spend the holiday alone, so I rushed back to spend the holiday with you."
When he got back, the person was not there, so he guessed that he was probably here.
"You don't have to come back specially. I understand that you are busy." Meng Qidi handed the work in her hand to Ling Xiao. Since he came here, he must help.
Yi Bo, who was busy at the side, was smiling. He was most happy to see Ling Xiao pampering Xiao Qi. His wife would feel relieved as long as Xiao Qi was doing well.
"By the way, the Qiu family came in with me just now, and it seemed like Dad was a little...unhappy..."
He actually felt quite guilty for bringing this person in, because it was obvious that his father-in-law was not on good terms with his family.
Yi Bo was stunned for a moment, then he sighed, "It's okay, Third Master won't suffer any loss, let them come."
"How many people have come? Will the ones we have not be enough?" Meng Qidi asked worriedly.
If there was just one more Ling Xiao, it would definitely be enough.
"No need to add, they..."
Before Yi Bo finished speaking, a voice came from the door, "Well, we brought food."
Qiu Cheng appeared at the kitchen door with two baskets in his hands.
Yi Bo put down the work in his hands and came over to take it, "Young Master, you are too polite. Why do you come here and bring things?"
"We were worried that you weren't prepared, and we also wanted to give Third Brother a surprise." Qiu Cheng said lightly.
This old guy is a smiling tiger. If he hadn't heard what he just said, he would have thought that this old guy was really so enthusiastic towards him.
Yi Bo carried the things into the kitchen and said with a smile, "It's quite unexpected. We haven't celebrated the holidays together for many years."
After leaving the Qiu family, the Third Master has only been to the old house once over the years, because of Miss Xiaoqi’s matter.
Qiu Cheng walked in and asked, "What are you going to do? Do you need help?"
"Make mooncakes."
Meng Qidi had a bad impression and didn't like this so-called uncle who stole her report.
The other party could pretend nothing happened, but she couldn't, and her father had broken off relations with the Qiu family.
Although Yi Bo was not happy about it, he did not let the young master of the Qiu family be left out and gave the task of rolling the noodles to him.
The few people seemed to be at odds with each other, and the kitchen was unexpectedly quiet.
Having not seen his wife for a few days, Ling Xiao could not help but move closer to her and lowered his voice, "Did you call home today?"
Meng Qidi shook her head, "No, I plan to play after dinner."
Anyway, there is a phone at home and her dad's place too, so it's convenient to make a phone call.
Ling Xiao nodded, "Are the dogs at home okay? I hope they can look after the house."
"Very fierce. It is said that your uncle once jumped into a paddy field when he was chased by Xiao Bai."
Ling Xiao twitched his lips, "What did he do?"
The couple was whispering, and Qiu Cheng couldn't help but prick up his ears.
"I want to pick a few pieces of lotus root to take back." Meng Qidi didn't say the rest.
I don't know how Ling Tiansheng knew that, but he said that their lotus seeds must be good, otherwise they would not have been confiscated by the state, so he had bad intentions.
As a result, as soon as he waded through the water, he was chased by Xiaobai and climbed ashore and jumped into the field...
