The next day, Qiu Xi also got up early.
Zuo Zuo Tian was too tired yesterday and didn't rush home that night, so she had to go back today.
"Sister, do you want some breakfast?"
As soon as she entered the hall, Qiu Xi saw her younger brother sitting on the sofa in a rather casual manner eating breakfast.
Qiu Xi walked over, "What is there?"
Drinking the milk in her hand, Qiu Ge thought about the breakfast on the table and began to list a long string of items.
"Soy milk, milk, steamed buns, fried dough sticks, dumplings, Jianbing." kan-shu-wu.xia
Qiu Xi, "......"
The variety is indeed quite diverse...
"Why so much?"
"Grandma said that since there are many people, the tastes should be varied. It doesn't require any effort to make it."
Qiu Xi smiled and nodded.
Very good!
It's good for the elders to have this idea when they have nothing to do.
"Sister, if you haven't eaten, go get some."
"Okay~ I'll go in and take a look."
Saying that, Qiu Xi turned and headed towards the dining room.
"Good morning, I'm back~"
Seeing the elders sitting around the table, Qiu Xi greeted them happily.
"Xiao Xi is back, hurry up and sit down, have something to eat to fill your stomach."
"It's just the right time you came back, eat more."
The two grandmothers looked at Qiu Xi and quickly pulled her over with smiles.
"Xiao Xi, I was feeling lazy today and didn't cook anything. There are quite a lot of breakfast items, come~"
As soon as Qiu Xi sat down, breakfast was piled up in front of her.
Looking at the smiling grandmother, Qiu Xi also felt a little helpless.
"Grandma, how can I eat so much~"
"That's okay, you eat first!"
"......Alright."
There was no other way, if she didn't eat, her grandmother's theory about her granddaughter being too thin would come out again.
"By the way, Grandma, don't forget about our plan to go out and play on New Year's Day."
"We'll leave a day in advance, I've already bought the tickets. I'm telling you in advance that if you need anything to bring, you should prepare it beforehand."
"If not, you can tell me, and I'll prepare it for you."
Eating breakfast and looking at the four elders, Qiu Xi thought of the freshly bought and still warm travel tickets.
The elders always had to pack everything when they went out, and she wouldn't forget the essentials.
Qiu Xi hadn't been out to play with her master and Grandma Li before, so she didn't quite understand.
But she knew her own family, especially her grandmother. If she went on a trip specifically, she would have her own requirements.
Where to go, what to wear, what to bring, she had her own ideas. In her own words, she was a sophisticated old lady. It was rare to go out, so it had to be done thoroughly.
After returning, she would have something to talk about, and even the photos she looked at later would be good and memorable.
And she always kept saying that she could still walk around now, but in the future, there would be fewer and fewer opportunities to go, so she should cherish them.
"Ah~"
"This reminds me, there's still half a month left, I have to take a good look."
"Xiao Xi, you have to send us the guide for that place so we can take a look too!"
Her granddaughter's words really served as a timely reminder. She wouldn't be bored for the next period of time, and she could even go out to show off if she had nothing to do~
Qiu Xi looked at her grandmother and smiled happily, "Grandma, don't worry, I'll show it to you later, and we'll sit here and discuss it together."
"Pa~"
Happy Grandma Qiu clapped her hands, "Okay~ Let's do that, I'll go get my old tablet."
Qiu Xi chuckled, "Okay~"
"Sister, Grandpa, Grandmas, what are you guys talking about?"
Seeing her grandmother walk away hurriedly with a smile on her face, the confused Qiu Ge came over to join the fun.
"Oh~"
"I was telling Grandma and the others about going on a trip together on New Year's Day."
Qiu Ge was shocked, "!!!"
"Sister!"
With a hint of grievance, "You're not taking me to this kind of thing!"
Qiu Xi covered her forehead, feeling a bit puzzled herself.
"Didn't I tell you before?"
Of course, she would bring as many people as possible for such a thing. When they were having fun, she would let Little Ge follow the elders, just to take pictures.
Qiu Ge was dejected, "No... no..."
Qiu Xi didn't care much, "That's fine, I'll tell you now, you can pack your luggage and follow along."
Qiu Ge, who hadn't reacted yet, said, "......Oh."
Left behind again...
Huh? No!
"Sister!"
After a surprised exclamation, his voice became a little hesitant, "What you just said... it means I can go, right?"
Qiu Xi nodded, "Yes."
And Qiu Ge, having gotten the answer he wanted, was overjoyed. The smile on his face grew higher and higher.
"Alright~"
"Sister! You can rest assured!"
"I'll definitely be a good follower!"
Qiu Xi, "......Okay."
...... This younger brother of hers is becoming more and more clear-headed.
......
After breakfast, Qiu Xi was pulled aside by her grandmother and Grandma Li to discuss the travel guide.
Qiu Xi had no choice, and they talked for almost an hour.
Seeing that there were still questions to be answered at the end, Qiu Xi handed the matter over to her younger brother who was watching from the side, and went to find her master.
"Master, I'm here."
Du Bin put down the book in his hand and responded, "En, come and sit."
"How was it yesterday going out with Old Ding?"
Qiu Xi sat down following his lead.
"It felt okay, but one teacher left a particularly deep impression."
Without waiting for her master to ask, Qiu Xi continued, "Teacher Yan, his name is Yan Xingming. Teacher Ding didn't make it clear when introducing him, and asked me to ask you if I wanted to know when I got back."
Du Bin nodded, "En."
His tone was calm, clearly already aware of this.
Indeed, as soon as Ding Yujing returned yesterday, he had called Du Bin and told him about the matter.
He had also specifically mentioned that Yan Xingming wanted to find time to meet with him.
"Master, is this Teacher Yan very familiar with you?"
Qiu Xi had some guesses in her heart, but she wasn't entirely sure.
Du Bin sighed, lamenting, "An old friend..."
"We met in college, and then we studied together for more than ten years. We also worked together afterwards, so you could say we are extremely familiar with each other."
"Back then, when my wife and I returned to talk about retiring, this guy might still be holding a grudge... but maybe he's already let it go..."
As he spoke, Du Bin recalled the scene of him and his wife leaving quietly.
Now that he thought about it, if he hadn't left quietly in advance, he probably wouldn't have been able to leave. Even if he had, it would have been almost the same as not leaving at all...
Qiu Xi listened quietly as her master chatted on and on. What he said was pretty much what she had guessed.
It was just that she had underestimated the status of this Teacher Yan.
Listening to her master's words, it seemed that his relationship with Teacher Yan was even deeper than with Teacher Ding.
After a long while, Du Bin stopped talking.
"Alright, that's all for today. You'll see him here in some time, and I'll tell you more then."
Qiu Xi understood, "Okay~"
