"Xiao Song just got back today, let him rest for a couple of days before going," Li Qiuju said. She thought that Song Qi'an hadn't been back for two years, and now that he was back, he definitely needed to spend some quality time with his family.
Zhou Sui suddenly realized that she was being a little too hasty. "Yes, Brother Qi An, you can rest for two days before going. There's no rush."
"We can go next weekend; there's a Torch Festival then," Zhou Xu chimed in, seizing the opportunity.
Speaking of the Torch Festival, Zhou Sui was also very excited. "The Torch Festival there is especially interesting. Brother Qi'an, you haven't been to Caoxian yet. You should go and check out the place, and spend a couple of days there. It'll be a good opportunity for you to see the local population flow firsthand."
The siblings, one after the other, had already set a time. Song Qi'an could go whenever he wanted. Thinking that they had known each other for so long but had never traveled together, he immediately agreed.
After talking for a while, Song Qi'an took his leave because it was getting late. Zhou Dayong and his wife wanted to see him off, but Song Qi'an declined. Zhou Sui was about to offer to see him off herself, but before she could say anything, Zhou Xu had already put on his shoes.
He grinned foolishly at Song Qi'an, "Brother Qi'an, I'll take you there. I'll go lock the door when I get out."
Song Qi'an glanced at Zhou Sui out of the corner of his eye, feeling somewhat disappointed, but after saying goodbye to Zhou's parents, he went out with Zhou Xu.
Zhou Sui couldn't follow him out, so she could only watch Song Qi'an leave from the doorway.
"Little Song is such a thoughtful child." Li Qiuju's voice came from the living room. Zhou Sui turned around and walked over, only to find that there were a lot of things next to the sofa.
"Sui Sui, come and see if these things are very expensive."
"No need to look, it's definitely expensive. When has Xiao Song ever given anything to the family at a discount?" Zhou Dayong opened one of the boxes and saw that it contained a cake of tea. Regardless of the quality of the tea inside, the packaging alone made it look very high-end.
Zhou Sui glanced at the names on the packaging. Zhou Dayong was right; nothing here was cheap.
"Oh my, this scarf must have cost a lot of money." Zhang Cui was in the clothing business and had bought several scarves for Li Qiuju. They were small pieces, but they were not cheap. Li Qiuju felt that the scarf in her hand was several times better than the ones Zhang Cui had bought for her.
Just then, Zhou Xu locked the door and came in. "What are you doing?"
"Look at what your brother Qi'an sent! He never forgets to give gifts during holidays, and he even brings us so many things when he goes home."
"Xiao Song said that one of these is for someone to bring along, it's the one in the black box."
As soon as Li Qiuju finished speaking, Zhou Xu opened the black box, inside which was a very exquisite men's mechanical watch. "My God, Brother Qi An is so good at handling things. Every time he sends something to our family, it's exactly what we need."
Zhou Xu couldn't wait to put the watch on his wrist. "Sis, does it look good?"
"It looks great." This mechanical watch is a newly released model and is quite expensive. Zhou Xu put it on his wrist, and it looked incredibly good.
"What did Brother Qi An give my sister?" Zhou Dayong gave her tea, Li Qiuju gave her a silk scarf, and he gave her a watch, but he didn't know what he gave Zhou Sui.
Zhou Sui thought to herself, "Please don't send it to me, this is still quite heavy in my hands."
But the next second, Li Qiuju handed Zhou Sui a more exquisite box. Zhou Sui estimated that it was probably a bag or something similar.
Upon opening it, I found it was a designer handbag.
"Here's another one." Zhou Dayong handed over another box, which was filled with high-end cosmetics and skincare products.
The rest consisted of high-end health supplements, imported fruits, and wines.
“This child is so good to our family.” Li Qiuju put the scarf back into the box. “When I was in Shenzhen for two years, I would ask Xinfeng to bring things over during holidays.”
"Aunt Zhang at the intersection said that people who didn't know better would think Xiao Song was our son, and they envied us for getting a son for free."
“Hey, you’re right.” Zhou Dayong sat down on the sofa, took out two walnuts from his pocket and started to play with them. These two walnuts were a gift from Song Qi’an during the Chinese New Year. They were antiques he had found in Beijing. They were shiny and smooth. Zhou Dayong treasured them very much. Later, Zhou Sui bought him other ones, but he didn’t like any of them. He only loved this first pair.
"This Xiao Song isn't our biological son, but he's almost like one."
“However,” Zhou Dayong said, then began to ponder, “we’re not actually that close to this kid.”
He always felt that Song Qi'an truly treated them like his own parents, and sometimes his kindness was so great that it left them speechless.
"Did we benefit from the children's success?" Zhou Dayong asked, looking at Zhou Xu and Zhou Sui.
Zhou Xu was admiring his new watch when he heard this and said without looking up, "I don't know about you guys, but I'm just benefiting from my sister's relationship. My sister and Brother Qi An are close."
He knew that the Zhou family member who was closest to Song Qi'an was actually his sister. Despite his loud and boisterous way of talking to Song Qi'an, he couldn't keep up with a single glance from his sister.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Dayong and Li Qiuju both looked a little off, because Zhou Xu's words sounded strange.
How good is it?
Zhou Sui wanted to sew Zhou Xu's mouth shut; this kid, even a watch couldn't shut him up.
“Qi An and I are, in a way, partners,” Zhou Sui said, racking her brains to cover up Zhou Xu’s words. “It’s normal for partners to give each other generous gifts.”
"Just like my second aunt and her business partners, they also give each other gifts every year."
"The hot spring hotel project is about to be put on the agenda. Brother Qi An is just expressing his gratitude. I'll have to send some back to him later. It's mutual, haha."
