Fan Xi looked down at Xiao Mingqi, and the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously. When she was little, she also liked to hold her father's hand like this!
Afterwards, Fan Xi discussed some details of running the school with the village chief, including curriculum setting and school management.
Before he knew it, it was noon. Fan Xi smelled the fragrance of the village chief's daughter-in-law cooking, and then he realized that they had been out for a long time, so he stood up and prepared to say goodbye.
The village chief wanted to keep her for dinner, but remembering that they had just reunited with their family, the old Fan family must have prepared a delicious treat, so he did not force her to stay. However, he kept telling Fan Xi to come over for dinner next time and personally sent her out the door.
Sure enough, when Fan Xi returned to the Fan family, the three adults of the Fan family were waiting for him at the door.
"Where did you take my aunt and uncle for a walk? Why did it take so long?" Zhang Yumei pulled Fan Mingqi over and asked him reproachfully.
Fan Mingqi didn't hear the reproach in his mother's words at all. He answered happily, "Mom, I took my aunt and uncle to the village chief's house. My aunt even told the village chief that she would pay for building a school in the village. They have already discussed it!"
"What? Pay for building a school? Oh my god...how much money will it cost?" Fan Dashuan's jaw dropped when he heard that.
"It's nothing, uncle, cousin, and cousin's wife. Just think of it as me doing something for the villagers on behalf of my father. I'm going to the county town this afternoon to get some money. After giving it to the village chief, we'll leave. Take care of yourselves. When the school is finished, send Mingqi to school. He looks like a good student. He will definitely be able to get into university and have a bright future. I'll pick you all up in the city when the time comes."
"Are you in such a hurry to leave? You've finally come here, why don't you stay a few more days?" Fan Zhiyong advised.
"That's right, auntie, I can't bear to leave you!" Fan Mingqi's face was also full of reluctance.
Fan Xi smiled and patted Fan Mingqi's head. "I'll come to see you again when I have the chance. Auntie has her own things to do, so she can't stay any longer."
Although everyone was reluctant to let him go, they also understood that everyone had their own preferences, so they had no choice but to pull Fan Xi into the house to eat.
Zhao Yilu was a little confused as to why Fan Xi suddenly changed her mind and decided to leave so quickly, but he had always supported Fan Xi unconditionally. He felt that since Fan Xi had made such a decision, she must have her reasons, so he said nothing more.
The Fan family had a lively meal together. The food tasted the same as the one Fan Xi remembered his grandmother cooking. It was so salty!
Fan Xi originally thought that grandma's cooking became so salty after her family became better off, but he didn't expect that her cooking has been so salty since then!
After finishing his meal, Fan Xi silently drank two more bowls of water, and then he and Zhao Yilu drove Fan Mingqi to the county town to withdraw money. At first, Fan Mingqi was excited because it was his first time riding in a car, but after a while he began to feel sleepy because of the bumpy ride.
Fan Xi glanced at the sleeping Fan Mingqi in the rearview mirror and couldn't help but chuckle, "It turns out Dad has had this problem of getting sleepy in the car since he was so young!"
"I remember that whenever my family went out, my dad had to be the one driving because he wouldn't get sleepy unless he was behind the wheel. Otherwise, he would definitely fall asleep as soon as he got in the car."
Zhao Yilu also looked back at the sleeping Fan Mingqi and asked Fan Mingqi, "Why are you in such a hurry to go back? Didn't you plan to stay here for a few more days?"
