The third day of the Lunar New Year.
The Qiu family was exceptionally lively today because Aunt Qiu Xi's family had come to visit for a hundred days.
"Yiyi, you've gotten even prettier in a year!"
"Sister Xi, thank you."
As Xu Yiyi spoke, she unconsciously took a step back.
She had grown another year older and wouldn't be fooled again!
Qiu Xi, "..."
As expected, this child held a grudge.
"Brother Xuanming, it's been half a year since we last saw each other." Since her cousin was ignoring her, she decided to talk to her brother.
Xu Xuanming nodded, "Yes, it has been quite some time."
"But after this year, things might be different," Xu Xuanming said with a smile, chatting with Qiu Xi.
Qiu Xi was still a little confused, "How will it be different?"
"Speaking of which, it's all thanks to you!" Her brother didn't hide anything, calling his sister his lucky charm.
"With the funds you provided earlier, our operations are now running smoothly. At the current pace, it's quite stable."
"However, after going to Chongxi City and meeting Nan Hua, according to our agreed cooperation, our move is not far off."
"So soon?" Qiu Xi was a bit surprised.
She knew about their cooperation, but she didn't know the specifics.
Hearing this now, she couldn't help but be astonished.
"Yes, it's a bit faster than planned, but the change is for the better."
"And this is also thanks to their quick actions. The work that was expected to take more time has been completed ahead of schedule, so I've managed to snag a bit of an advantage."
Hearing Xu Xuanming say this, Qiu Xi understood everything.
So, their assistance played a part in this.
After thinking it through, Qiu Xi nodded, "Alright! In that case, I must congratulate you in advance, brother!"
Hearing Qiu Xi's words, Xu Xuanming couldn't stop smiling, "Great! I'll accept this congratulation first, and I'll tell you when things are settled."
Qiu Xi nodded, "Okay, then let me know when you move."
"Of course, you're still our lucky charm!" Xu Xuanming looked at Qiu Xi, his words coming out very naturally.
Qiu Xi, "..."
Right, she almost forgot about the money she had just received.
"What are you two talking about? Come over and join us quickly," Huang Xianyi, who had just finished talking to her sister, called out as she saw the two of them whispering for so long.
"Coming!"
Qiu Xi and her brother exchanged a glance, nodded, and walked over together.
Once they joined, everyone was just chatting together.
After a while, Qiu Xi went to find her master.
When she was talking to her brother about moving, it reminded her that she would be returning to Chongxi City in three or four days, and she hadn't asked if her master would go with her.
Now was a good time; the elders were all sitting in the courtyard chatting, so she went to ask.
Two minutes later, when she reached the backyard, the elders were basking in the sun.
It was not easy to get warm sunshine in winter, and sitting there to sunbathe was very comfortable.
Seeing this, Qiu Xi ran back again.
When she reappeared, she had changed into slippers and was wearing plush socks. She was dragging a rocking chair as she walked over.
"Grandpa, Grandma, Master, Grandma Li, I'm here too!"
She placed the chair and then lay down on it.
The four elders, "..."
They wanted to laugh but also felt a bit helpless.
"You girl, you certainly know how to enjoy yourself!" Grandma Qiu finally said with a smile.
"Grandma, I'm just trying to blend in with the group!"
She had to admit, lying there did give her a leisurely, grandma-like feel.
"Go on, what did you come here for?"
Du Bin understood his own disciple quite well.
Qiu Xi moved up a bit and raised her hand.
However, looking at the large, plump mass, she finally put it down.
Then, looking at her master, she said, "Master, you understand me best!"
"I'm going to school in a few days, so I wanted to ask if you guys are coming back with me?"
Du Bin was silent for a moment, "You go back first."
"We old folks will stay here a bit longer, rest well, and then we'll come over."
Du Bin knew that his little disciple was going back for training.
Even if he went back with her, he wouldn't have much time, so it was better to stay and rest for a few more days.
This way, when he went later, he would be in much better spirits!
Hearing her master's words, Qiu Xi's mind raced.
Indeed, her master's consideration was quite thoughtful.
She was going back early for training, so it was convenient for her to go alone.
It was better for the elders to stay here; they had company and could happily celebrate the Lunar New Year.
Besides, her parents were also here, and being with family was much more convenient than going there.
Finally, Qiu Xi nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to Master."
"You all rest well and have fun at home."
"When you want to come, call me, and I'll arrange it."
Du Bin smiled, "Alright!"
"We're old, we understand these things."
"As for you, you need to be extra careful when you get there. Don't just focus on studying; don't forget about your health either."
"By the way, why don't you go to Young Nan's place? It would be more convenient. What do you think..."
As Du Bin spoke, he began to discuss with Grandpa Qiu, Grandma Qiu, and his wife beside him.
Finally, without waiting for Qiu Xi's reply, he continued, "In that case, I'll call that old fellow Nan Shan right now, and you can go to his place then."
Finally, looking at her master, who had just finished the phone call.
Qiu Xi, "..."
The parents were too overprotective, what should she do?
"Okay, I'll do as Master says."
Of course... she could only accept it.
Qiu Xi, who had only come to get an answer, stayed after her questions were answered.
Lying there, she closed her eyes. The large, fluffy hat behind her covered her eyes, and she basked in the sun with the elders.
The warm winter sun was truly comfortable.
It made one feel drowsy.
But the scene was extremely beautiful.
...
A few days passed quickly.
On the day of departure, it was Dad Qiu who saw his daughter off at the airport.
"Dad, you can just send me this far." Seeing her father, who looked like he wanted to accompany her onto the plane, Qiu Xi couldn't help but smile.
Her father was a little cute.
Dad Qiu looked around, then fixed his gaze on his daughter, "Okay, you go in first, Dad will leave in a moment."
"Okay~"
Qiu Xi nodded, waved, "Then I'm going in, you go back."
"Okay~"
Finally, after the person disappeared from sight, Dad Qiu turned and left.
