After the matters in Chongxi City were settled, Qiu Xi's family, along with Master Du and his wife, packed their bags and returned to Jinhai City.
At the airport.
"Master, why don't you come back with us this year? Let's spend the New Year together, okay?"
Thinking that Master and Grandma Li would be alone after returning, Qiu Xi planned to bring them home.
However, he had been silent. Finally, Li Minglan looked around.
She finally said to Du Bin, "Old man, why don't we go together?"
Having come this far in Chongxi City, there were no longer any demands for the return trip.
Moreover, what the girl Xiao Xi said was right, their home would only be for the two old folks, so it was better to be happy here.
Besides, with only the two of them, home was everywhere.
Du Bin looked at his wife and nodded.
Then he said to Qiu Xi, "Alright, then we two old folks will be a bother."
"Master!"
"What bother, what bother, we're happy you're here!"
People's hearts are made of flesh. After so long, she had long regarded these two elders as her own family.
"Come, let's go~"
Saying that, the group got into the car and headed towards the Qiu family's home.
Qiu Ge ran the fastest and saw his uncle as soon as he entered the door.
"Uncle!"
"We're back~"
After a long time, Qiu Ge rushed up and hugged him.
"Little Gezi!"
"You're back? Where are your sister and the others?"
"Big Brother."
"Uncle, I'm here~"
Qiu Xi, following her father, immediately squeezed out with her bag when she heard Qiu Jue's words.
"Xiao Xi ah~"
Qiu Jue stepped forward, sized her up, and smiled, "You've gotten even more beautiful after so long!"
Then he looked at his younger brother and complained, "Why didn't you say anything when you came back!"
"I was going to pick you up, and there wasn't much food at home!"
"Big Brother, we were in a hurry!"
"I'll go out and buy some later."
"That's fine too."
"By the way, where are Mom and Dad?"
Looking behind, he didn't see them, and Qiu Jue was a little strange.
"We left with the luggage first, and they're strolling behind. Also, Qiu Xi's Master and his wife are returning with us this time. They're just outside looking around and will be back soon."
"Really?"
"That's great! We can all relax for the New Year."
Qiu Jue later heard about the old couple from his parents at home. Now that the two elders could be together, he was naturally happy.
"Big Brother, are you the only one at home?"
"Hasn't Xin Xin returned yet?"
Qiu Jue smiled and said, "How could she be back so soon? It will take a few more days!"
"Is that so..." Qiu Dad, who had been a househusband for a long time, no longer remembered when he had a holiday.
"Alright, let's pack our things first and chat later." Qiu Mom, who had been watching for a long time, finally interrupted the brothers' conversation.
"Big Brother, you've really worked hard during this time!"
"We'll go pack first, and we'll be down later."
Qiu Jue glared at them, "What are you talking about!"
"How is this hard work? It's all I should do."
They had only been gone for about a month, so he wasn't that busy.
Besides, he was getting paid for it, so it didn't count.
"Alright, you guys hurry up and pack."
"Leave the grocery shopping to me. I'll go out now, and you guys just stay at home and organize and rest properly."
Saying that, Qiu Jue was about to get the car keys and go out.
Qiu Dad didn't stand on ceremony and even made a request, "Big Brother, I'll send you a menu later, buy according to it..."
Qiu Jue nodded, "Got it."
As for Qiu Ge, who was lying on the sofa, he immediately sprang up when he saw this.
"Uncle, I'll go with you!"
"Okay!"
"If you're not tired, then come with me."
Qiu Ge immediately stood up straight, "Not tired!"
The next second, he smiled and said, "Uncle, let's go~"
Qiu Dad, "..."
If this guy wasn't after food, he'd change his surname!
...
After the people left, Qiu Dad and Qiu Mom didn't rest. They took their luggage and started packing.
Thinking of the two elders, they specially tidied up a room next to the old folks' room and then cleaned it.
Admittedly, after this process, it was quite tiring.
"Mom and Dad, if you're tired, go to sleep first."
"Sleep a little longer, I'll make dinner later, and I'll call you when it's ready."
"That's probably okay..." Rubbing their sore waists, Qiu Dad and Qiu Mom nodded.
Then they went back to their rooms to rest.
That night, after dinner, everyone slept very early and slept particularly soundly.
The next day, they started tidying up the house with renewed vigor.
...
A few days later, the last member of the family, Qiu Xin, also returned home with large bags and small bags.
"Sister Xin~"
"We haven't seen each other for a year!"
"After you unpack, shall we go shopping this afternoon? How about it?"
After staying at home for these two days, the adults and elders were busy buying things. Except for Qiu Ge, she was the only one left and was quite bored.
Her girlfriends either hadn't returned or were too busy to go out.
So when Qiu Xi saw her cousin walk in, her mood immediately improved greatly, and her eyes shone brightly.
Qiu Xin couldn't help but smile when she looked at her, "Okay~"
"After I'm done, I'll go shopping with you."
Although her younger cousin was now very capable, her personality was still that of a young girl, and she was very cute~
"Okay~"
"Then Sister Xin, let me help you pack!"
Her words were filled with eagerness, wishing the things were packed right away.
Qiu Xin's smile never stopped, "No need, I don't have many things, it'll be done in a moment."
"Instead, you're in such a hurry, are you not going to let me rest for a while?"
"Let me!"
"Sister Xin, you rest well, I'll go out first, and we'll go shopping after you've rested."
"Okay~"
...
In the afternoon.
Qiu Xi finally got her wish!
Someone was accompanying her out shopping.
At this moment, the girl was holding a cup of milk tea in one hand and snacks in the other, in a very good mood!
Indeed, in these idle and boring days, when there was nothing to do, being able to eat what you liked made life truly wonderful!
"Sister Xin, after we finish eating, let's go buy clothes!"
The New Year was coming, and the clothes in the closet at home hadn't been changed.
Qiu Xin understood, "Okay!"
"Clothes, bags, stationery, cosmetics... we won't miss anything today, alright?"
Qiu Xi took a big sip of milk tea and nodded repeatedly, "Mmm-hmm!"
Isn't this exactly what she was thinking?
Her sister truly understood her!
Unlike the one at home, who wouldn't be willing to go out even if he didn't have to spend money...
So, throughout the entire afternoon, until almost 10 PM, the two of them walked through the door with a pile of things.
