Now let's talk about Beijing—
Fang Ke tried to persuade Qiao Qiqi for a whole afternoon, but Qiao Qiqi still insisted on leaving.
Fang Ke was so anxious she was almost in tears. Holding up one finger, she pitifully pleaded, "Just stay for another week, and I promise you can leave the week after that, okay? Just stay for one more week!"
When Fang's parents came home from get off work, they saw Fang Ke looking pitiful and pleading with Qiao Qiqi.
When they heard that Qiao Qiqi was leaving, Fang's parents were also very reluctant to let her go.
Fang's mother said, "You've only been here for half a month, and Xiao Ke hasn't had a chance to take you out to play properly. Why don't you stay for another week and let Xiao Ke take you out to play properly again?"
Qiao Qiqi knew these were all excuses.
Fang Ke took her and Xin Xin out to play every weekend. They stayed in Beijing for three weekends, and Fang Ke took them out to play for six days, exploring almost half of the city.
Moreover, Qiao Qiqi has already been to all the places she wanted to go, and she really misses home.
Of course, another reason was that staying at Fang Ke's house for more than ten days had been too much of a disturbance, and she had to go back.
Seeing that she insisted, Fang's mother respected her opinion and advised Fang Ke, "Qiqi is different from you. She has a family and her husband is waiting for her at home. She really can't be so free and casual."
Then, Fang's mother looked at Qiao Qiqi and said, "Anyway, you already know our home address. Come visit whenever you have time, and bring your husband with you. We welcome you anytime."
"Yes, definitely."
Qiao Qiqi also likes the Fang family very much. If she has the opportunity to come to Beijing in the future, she will definitely come even if Fang's parents don't want her to come.
It was clear that Qiao Qiqi had made up her mind and there was nothing that could be done to stop her. So, the next day, he accompanied her to the train station to buy tickets with a sullen expression.
Because it would be a 20-hour journey back, Fang Ke insisted on buying a sleeper berth for Qiao Qiqi.
When the three of them arrived at the station, they were told that all the sleeper berths for the next three days were sold out, with only a few available on Thursday.
Fang Ke subconsciously asked, "What about Friday? Let's see if there's a Friday."
She was hoping to stay as long as possible, but unfortunately, all the sleeper berths for Friday were sold out; only Thursday's berths were available.
Qiao Qiqi handed the money through the window, "I'll take Thursday's, and I'll take a lower bunk."
"I'll pay, how can I let you pay?" Fang saw that she was about to pay when he wasn't paying attention, so he quickly pulled her hand back.
Qiao Qiqi didn't want her to spend money, since she had already made the Fang family spend a lot of money these past few days, so she still wanted to pay for it herself.
But Fang Ke disagreed no matter what she said, and in the end, she was the one who bought the train ticket for Qiao Qiqi.
Qiao Qiqi looked helpless. "You brought me to Beijing, saving me the trouble of buying a train ticket here, but how can I ask you to buy me a ticket back? That's definitely not acceptable. You should keep the money!"
But Fang Ke refused to accept it, saying, "I bought it for you, so just take it. Why are you being so polite with me? We're friends."
Looking at the train ticket, Fang Ke felt more and more reluctant to leave, and wanted Qiao Qiqi to stay a few more days.
Seeing that she was about to cry, Qiao Qiqi reached out and hugged her.
“It’s not like I won’t come back in the future, and I have your home address and work address. I will definitely write to you in the future.”
Fang Ke was still very sad. "If only you were my sister, we could be together forever."
"..." Qiao Qiqi wanted to too!
But just as the moon waxes and wanes, so too do people experience joy and sorrow, separation and reunion.
She patted Fang Ke on the shoulder and said, "Maybe in a few years, I'll settle down in Beijing. Then I'll buy a house closer to yours, and we can see each other every day."
"Really? You're really coming to Beijing?" Fang Ke looked up, her face full of anticipation.
Qiao Qiqi nodded emphatically, "Definitely, we can pinky swear if you don't believe me."
She will definitely come to Beijing. Qiao Qiqi's plan is to come within three years, so she can make this guarantee to the other party.
Fang Jian saw that her eyes were burning with determination, and knew that she had this idea. Although she felt that it would be quite difficult, for some reason, she inexplicably believed that Qiao Qiqi had the ability.
The reluctance to part was finally lessened a bit, and Fang Ke finally stopped crying. "Okay, it's a deal then. I'll wait for you."
The two of them put their handprints together, and then Fang Ke told Qiao Qiqi that she absolutely could not go back on her word.
"No regrets, definitely no regrets." Qiao Qiqi had no choice but to urge Fang Ke to go to work as soon as it was almost time.
Today is Monday, and Fang Ke got up early to accompany her to the station to buy the train tickets. Now she should go to work.
Fang realized that time was running out, and he couldn't spare the time to take Qiao Qiqi home; he had to go to work first.
Qiao Qiqi had no interest in the area near the station, so she immediately took a bus back to the vicinity of Fang's house. She first delivered goods to the back of the grocery store and told the owner that she would no longer be able to deliver goods starting Thursday.
"Out of stock?" The boss's face fell immediately when he heard Qiao Qiqi say that she couldn't deliver the goods.
Qiao Qiqi quickly said, "I have the goods, but I have to go on a long trip, so I can't deliver them for a while."
When the boss heard that she meant she was going to be away for a long time, his old face instantly fell even more.
"Then give me a timeframe, when can you come back? Otherwise, I won't feel at ease! We're doing a great job cooperating, and suddenly you say you can't deliver? Isn't that cutting off my source of income?"
Suddenly remembering something, the shop owner quickly said, "Have you found a place with a higher price? If so, just tell me, and I can raise the price for you!"
"No! I didn't find anyone else to cooperate with. I really have to go on a long trip. I can't be sure when I'll be back yet, but I guess the earliest I'll be back is around the Chinese New Year!"
"There are still four months until Chinese New Year, that's way too long!" The boss was about to cry.
Qiao Qiqi was also helpless. She thought of many ways to continue sending fruit to her boss after she got back. The post office was definitely out of the question. The speed was not good these days, and the fruit would spoil on the way before it was delivered.
So Qiao Qiqi wanted to ask when she got back whether she could ship the goods by train or by bus, and see if there were any direct buses to Beijing that could bring the goods over.
Both estimates are for a day or two. Apples and berries can hold on, but peaches and grapes won't, and they'll have to be given up.
Of course, this is just Qiao Qiqi's plan; she'll have to wait until she gets back to find out if it will work.
Soon, it was Wednesday.
The boss originally planned to order several more days' worth of fruit tomorrow, but because Fang Ke said she would be taking the day off to stay home with her, Qiao Qiqi told the boss that today was the last day.
Upon hearing this, the boss immediately asked Qiao Qiqi for 500 jin of apples, 500 jin of pears, and 100 jin each of grapes and peaches.
