Chapter 1486: Chapter 867: Finally Reunited (2)
Just as he stepped out of the door, Mr. Qi saw his youngest son getting off the car, whom he missed dearly every day. He quickly walked a few steps, his lips quivering: "Xiao Xing!"
At the moment she saw her son, Mrs. Qi’s tears poured out; her throat choked up, her lips quivered for a long time, not a sound coming out, and Yue Qin was no better than Mrs. Qi.
Facing his family, Qi Xing, who was completely unprepared mentally, suddenly saw his familiar family, froze slightly, and then "plopped" down to his knees in front of his parents.
"A man kneels below gold, stand up!" Granny Qi happened to walk out at this moment, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, scolding her grandson.
"Grandma, a man should kneel before the heavens, the earth, and his parents, that’s proper." Qi Xing said, bowing his head a few times to the three elders, then stood up, "It’s my unfilial behavior that made Grandma and Mom and Dad suffer so much."
"You should thank Xiao Qin the most." Granny Qi said, pulling Yue Qin forward, Qi Xing quickly stepped up to Yue Qin and saluted her military-style: "You’ve suffered."
Yue Qin shook her head, unable to speak through her tears.
"Don’t say such insincere things, we’re family, there’s no need for such posturing. What’s this ’You’ve suffered’, is it even necessary to say?" Granny Qi side-eyed her grandson, "Now that you’re here, just talk about what to do next so your parents aren’t too scared to even sleep."
Hearing the old lady say this, Luo Ye and Zhu Hongyu chuckled.
In the whole family, Qi Granny was the most wonderful. As someone who has lived in the village for so long and hasn’t seen the world, she should express the most confusion and unease in this new environment, given her age.
However, she was the most composed among them all. Although she was curious, it was merely limited to curiosity.
The whole family wasn’t completely clear-headed, and Zhu Hongyu suggested: "It’s cold outside, let’s talk inside."
After the group sat down, seeing Qi Xing’s gaze on him, Qian Jiale grinned: "Don’t look at me like that, I’m just following orders."
"Then why’d you still buy me a ticket?" Qi Xing glared at him, "Isn’t that a waste of money?"
"You miser." Qian Jiale tapped his forehead, "At a time like this, you’re still thinking of train ticket money, I really can’t believe it."
As Qi Xing thought about his large family to support, he couldn’t help but give Qian Jiale a bad look: "For someone I consider a brother, you sure had fun tricking me."
"It was us who forced him to do this..." Zhu Hongyu raised an eyebrow, "Including Master Zhou, we’re all in the know. If you’re upset, you could go find Master Zhou to settle the score, right?"
"No wonder, I was puzzled when taking leave, he’s usually not so fussy..." Qi Xing smiled wryly, "So you all knew, and left me in the dark."
"That was necessary, since you haven’t revealed your wife’s identity all these years, letting her suffer alone at home." Luo Ye scoffed, "This punishment is too light."
"Alright, alright, it’s all my fault. But for all the help you’ve given me, I really..." Qi Xing hesitated, "I truly feel like I owe you too much."
"Granny’s right, you’re one for empty talk..." Zhu Hongyu said, looking at Yue Qin, "Sis, keep a good eye on him, so he doesn’t keep spouting insincerities willy-nilly."
"I..." Yue Qin’s face flushed, unsure of what to say, as ever since Qi Xing entered the house, she kept her head bowed and dared not look up.
She looks now like a woman in her mid-thirties, while Qi Xing, with his tall and upright stature, appears no older than twenty-five or twenty-six. The two of them together, really don’t look like a match!
Granny Qi, who knows her best, instantly understood what she was thinking from her demeanor, and affectionately rubbed her palm, "Xiao Qin, don’t overthink."
Neither Luo Ye nor Zhu Hongyu were slow on the uptake, and hearing what the old lady said, thought it through and realized. But in a matter so unfamiliar, it wasn’t easy to say much.
"Qi Zhengwei, don’t feel like you owe us, Liangyou Elderly Home needs diligent and kind workers.
Your wife and Uncle Qi and Aunt Qi fit these conditions, so Sister Zhu and I discussed and decided to take this chance to bring them over.
As for living in this house, you don’t need to be burdened with thoughts; the back area is employee housing for Liangyou, families working at Liangyou are all in this type of housing, your family isn’t an exception.
It allows you to be without worry, while also meeting Liangyou’s needs, it’s a win-win, if Qi Zhengwei doesn’t accept, it’s as if you’re belittling our organization." Luo Ye spoke, standing up, "Master Zhou approved the leave, still valid. For these next days, Qi Zhengwei should take Grandma, Uncle, Aunt, and big sis to look around."
The car parked to the right of the entrance is prepared for you; the keys are under the coffee table." As he finished speaking, he was already out the door, a quick-on-his-feet Qi Xing hurriedly chased after him, "Alright, no need to see me off, head back." Zhu Hongyu stuck her head out the car window to wave, and the car sped away into the distance.
"Ah, why didn’t you wait for me?"
Qian Jiale, who came out a step later, patted his head, looking regretful.
"Serves you right!" Qi Xing glared at him, "Would it kill you to give me a heads-up in advance?"
"Boom..."
The car backed up again, Zhu Hongyu tossed a pebble at Qian Jiale’s shoulder, "Get in quickly, or are you planning to stay as a third wheel?"
"Mr. Qi, invite us to your wedding banquet one day." Qian Jiale said, quickly jumping into the car, chuckled twice, "Not judging accounts in autumn, that’s not gentlemanly."
