Hearing Director Xu's question, Huo Qiqi smiled and said, "Uncle Xu, to be honest, I'm going to leave after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. They're also quite anxious over there. When I come back next time, I'll bring you some local specialties."
As she spoke, Huo Qiqi took out two bottles of ginseng medicinal wine from her bag. These were the wines she had poured into them last night. "Uncle Xu, these are two bottles of ginseng medicinal wine I brewed myself. You can try them when you have nothing to do."
Director Xu was not a wine lover, but after hearing about ginseng wine, he became interested. He took out a bottle, looked at the ginseng inside, and said in surprise, "Qiqi, this thing is too expensive. Uncle, I can't accept it."
"Uncle Xu, do you treat me as an outsider? This is just my niece's little feeling, I hope you don't dislike it."
Seeing Huo Qiqi say this, Director Xu could only smile helplessly and take the things.
Director Xu's wife, Zhou Mei, pulled Huo Qiqi to her side and asked with concern, "Qiqi, are you used to being alone in this place? No one bullies you, right? If you have a hard time out there, stay in Beijing. Uncle Xu and I will definitely not let anyone bully you."
Huo Qiqi raised her fist and said to Zhou Mei seriously, "Aunt Zhou, I'm very capable. Don't worry, no one will bully me. If I stay in Jing City, it's not the right time yet. Thank you for your concern, Aunt Zhou."
After leaving Director Xu's house, Huo Qiqi rode her bicycle directly to Tang Lili's house. Seeing Huo Qiqi knocking on the door, Tang Lili happily pulled Huo Qiqi into the house and said with concern, "Qiqi, where have you been these days? I went to your house several times, but couldn't find you."
"Lily, I'm fine. I just went out of town and just came back yesterday. Lily, I came here this time to invite you to my house tomorrow. I'll introduce you to some friends."
"Qiqi, are we going to set off after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month?" It was the first time for Tang Lili to go on a long journey, and it was to faraway Hong Kong. She was filled with anxiety and nervousness.
Seeing her friend's nervousness and anxiety, Huo Qiqi comforted her, "Lily, I know you still have concerns about going to school in Hong Kong. As a good friend, I support your choice. If you really don't want to go to Hong Kong, that's fine too. I will come back to see you often."
Mrs. Tang, who was busy in the kitchen, came out after hearing the conversation. She came to her daughter and said softly, "Lily, I know you're worried about me and your father. We're still young. Besides, you followed Qiqi to Hong Kong to learn some skills. Our affairs are not a big deal."
Comforted by her mother and good friend, Tang Lili nodded and said seriously, "Qiqi, thank you for comforting me. After arriving in Hong Kong, I will study hard. When I have the ability in the future, I will bring my parents to Hong Kong to visit them."
After leaving Tang Lili's house, Huo Qiqi turned and went to Director Chen's house. Director Chen, who was chatting with his sisters, greeted Huo Qiqi happily. "Qiqi, I'm so glad to see you're okay. Your sister Xiu has been running to your house recently, but she found you weren't home."
Guo Xiu, who was about to go out, saw Huo Qiqi standing at the door. She walked over, took Huo Qiqi's hand, and said with a smile, "Qiqi, don't stand outside and talk. It's too cold outside. I was just about to go out to see if you'd come back. What a coincidence."
The three of them entered the house and sat down. Huo Qiqi said straight to the point, "Aunt Chen, Sister Xiu, I invite you to visit my home tomorrow. I'd like to introduce you to some friends. We're all going to Hong Kong, so it's nice to get to know each other in advance."
Director Chen thought for a moment, stood up, and said with a smile, "Qiqi, you are all young people, I won't go over there, let your sister Xiu go over there, and when she comes back, just tell me."
Seeing Director Chen's serious expression, Huo Qiqi thought about it and realized that Director Chen was right. The people who were going to attend the party this time were basically young people around 20 years old. After all, Director Chen was over 50 years old, and there was an age gap between him and everyone else.
After Huo Qiqi returned home, she told Xiao Li and the others the news. Xiao Li said happily, "Qiqi, that's great! I can finally meet more good friends. By the way, Qiqi, my senior sisters and I will definitely prepare well."
Seeing Xiao Li ready to fight, Huo Qiqi rubbed her head, smiled, and said seriously, "Xiao Li, it's okay. The good friends I asked to come are all easy to get along with. Don't be too nervous."
Early the next morning, Xiao Li and his two senior sisters got up before dawn. After hearing the sounds of ping-pong coming from the kitchen, Huo Qiqi washed up and went into the kitchen to help them.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, Tang Lili and Guo Xiu came to the door carrying things.
Xiao Li looked at the two people who had just entered the room, and her face was a little unhappy, as if she was in pain and wanted to cry. Looking at Xiao Li's expression, Huo Qiqi asked doubtfully, "Xiao Li, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
It would have been fine if Huo Qiqi hadn't spoken. As soon as she did, Xiao Li couldn't control her emotions anymore. Tears streamed down her face. She said sadly, "Qiqi, why is everyone taller than me? I don't want to be a little potato. You know, you're the smallest one."
Hearing Xiao Li's words, Huo Qiqi was speechless, but she still took Xiao Li's hand and comforted him, "Xiao Li, it's okay. Haven't you noticed that you've grown a little taller?"
At Huo Qiqi's reminder, Qinghong beside her also spoke up, "Yes, Xiaoli, when you came back last time, I noticed that your clothes were a little short. Now that Qiqi mentioned it, it's true."
