Old Man Yaogan said softly: "You guys go back first! I'll let Han Xiao come and deal with it. Girl Xixi, your uncle will leave Kyoto for half a year after seeing your master off for the last time. Don't come to Nanhua Villa for the time being. I will clean it up. All traces here.”

Zhan Heping nodded, "I understand, uncle."

Fan Xixi also nodded, but said nothing.

Old Man Yaogan sighed, "If anything happens to girl Xixi, I'll come to you, Senior Brother Zhan."

"Yeah. I understand."

Ten minutes later, Fan Xixi left Nanhua Villa with the medicinal seeds left for her by her master.

On the way to send Senior Brother Zhan home, Fan Xixi asked curiously: "Brother Zhan, who is Han Xiao?"

Zhan Heping was a little tired, but still replied: "Uncle actually had many apprentices, but due to various reasons, not many are still alive. Han Xiao's father was a closed disciple of the uncle, but he has been dead for many years. Han Xiao is thirty-three years old and is the youngest major general in the military..."

Fan Xixi was silent for a moment and then asked: "What about Uncle Master? Does Uncle Master have any apprentices?"

Zhan Heping shook his head, "Uncle Master has never accepted a disciple in his life."

Fan Xixi actually still had many questions, but seeing that Senior Brother Zhan didn't look very good, she didn't ask any more questions.

After sending Brother Zhan back to the military compound, Fan Xixi and Brother Jincheng drove back to Jingfu Road one after another.

When they got home, it was exactly 12 o'clock in the morning, and Fan Xixi and the others were greeted by the sound of New Year's fireworks.

What surprised Fan Xixi was that Brother Xiaobei and Feng Zhu were actually on Jingfu Road this late at night, and they helped set off the firecrackers and fireworks at home.

"Sister Xiao Xi, Happy New Year!" Feng Zhu and Shan Bei said in unison.

Fan Xixi looked at their sincere smiling faces, and her heart suddenly felt healed.

She slightly raised her lower lip and said with emotion: "Happy New Year!"

Feng Zhu patted Fan Jincheng's shoulder and said, "Happy New Year to you too!"

"Thank you! Happy New Year to you too!" Fan Jincheng expressed his sincere thanks.

He was very grateful that they could come to Jingfu Road at this time, and he knew that Xixi was happy to see them.

At this time, Fan Mimi, Lu Xiangxiang, and Qiu Zeyi walked out of the kitchen.

As soon as Fan Mimi saw her second sister, she immediately ran over.

"Second sister, second sister, we made dumplings and glutinous rice balls. What do you and Brother Jincheng want to eat?"

Fan Xixi whispered: "I can do it."

Fan Jincheng pondered for a moment and then said: "Let's eat glutinous rice balls first! This way it will be sweet throughout the year."

"Yeah. That's up to you." Although Fan Xixi didn't eat anything all night, she was actually not very hungry.

The glutinous rice balls were delicious and sweet, and Fan Xixi ate them slowly.

Fan Mimi didn't dare to ask her second sister about her master, so she just chattered beside her.

"Second sister, parents, Aunt Liu, and Fan Jinxin are all staying at Qiao's house tonight... Grandpa and his family also went to Jingyue tonight, but Brother Yusen didn't come back..."

"Second sister, my parents plan to return to Mi City on the third day of junior high school. Do you want to go back with us then?"

Fan Xixi nodded, "Go back!"

Lu Xiangxiang asked at the right time: "Xixi, are we still going to Haicheng?"

Fan Xixi had actually forgotten that she said she was going to Haicheng. She was silent for a while and then said: "Go! Go on the sixth day! Come back when school starts."

"Then I'll wait for you in Haicheng on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year," Feng Zhu said.

"I have nothing to do. I can go there in my third year of junior high school." Shan Bei decided to go earlier so that he could help sister Xiao Xi make arrangements.

Lu Xiangxiang gently pulled Xixi's sleeve, "Xixi, you and I will go back to Mi City for two days. Then we can go to Haicheng together, okay?"

"Okay. You and Qiu Zeyi can go together!"

Qiu Zeyi coughed lightly and said in a low voice: "I still have something to do. I will go to Haicheng to meet you on the sixth day of the lunar month."

"That's fine, you can make your own arrangements!"

After eating the glutinous rice balls, Shan Bei and Feng Zhu left, and Qiu Zeyi also sent Lu Xiangxiang home.

Fan Xixi was a little tired, so she took a shower and went back to her room to sleep.

By the time Fan Jincheng came over after taking a shower, Xixi had already fallen asleep.

Looking at Xixi, who was still frowning slightly after falling asleep, he couldn't help but raise his hand and caress her face, soothing her uneasiness and sadness.

It wasn't until he felt that Xixi was sleeping peacefully that he lay down next to Xixi and kissed her forehead.

I hope his little girl can have a good dream!

…

On the first day of the new year, everyone got up early, but Fan Xixi slept until noon.

Maybe it's because she's had enough sleep, or maybe it's the New Year and the new weather, but her mental state is much better than a while ago.

She originally planned to go to Qiao's house to pay New Year's greetings to her great-grandfather and the others. Unexpectedly, when she arrived at the hall, she found that her great-grandfather and everyone in the Qiao family were there, and her parents had also returned and were busy doing something.

Lunch.

Smelling the aroma of rice, Fan Xixi's heart also warmed up.

"Xixi, come and sit here, Grandpa." When Mr. Bai saw Xixi getting up, he smiled and waved to her.

"Grandpa, Happy New Year!" Fan Xixi sat down and said happy New Year to her grandfather who had just walked in from the yard.

"Happy New Year! We, Xixi, are one year older this year." Mr. Bai touched her head lovingly.

They all knew about the death of old man Guofeng, and they also knew that girl Xixi felt uncomfortable. However, on the first day of the new year, everyone had a tacit agreement not to bring up this topic.

Fan Xixi drank tea and chatted with her great-grandfather and the others, and her mood gradually became relaxed and happy.

That is, after she got up, she hadn't seen Brother Jincheng yet!

Seeing Xi Xi looking outside several times, Mr. Bai said with a smile: "Your father, Jincheng, Qi Liang, and Qi En went out to buy firecrackers and fireworks. Your mother, your grandma, your aunt, and Mimi and the others

In the kitchen. Juanjuan and Xiaolu are taking advantage of the high temperature at noon to help Yuanbao take a bath."

Fan Xixi suddenly reacted, "I'm an aunt now, and I haven't given Yuan Bao any new year's money yet! I'm going to make preparations."

Qiao Yunsheng said funnyly: "Jincheng gave it to you in the morning, a double portion."

Fan Xixi touched her head and said sheepishly: "Brother Jincheng is so attentive."

She almost forgot about the little baby at home.

When Fan Juanjuan came over with the fragrant Yuan Bao in her arms, she put the child in Fan Xixi's hands without saying a word.

"Fan Xixi, please help me hold the baby for a while and let me have a rest."

Fan Xixi smiled and nodded, "Okay! You go and rest! I promise to take good care of Yuanbao."

At this time, Chen Yueying came over from the kitchen. When she heard the conversation between the two sisters, she smiled and said: "Xixi has never held a child before. Come on, I'll hold it."

Fan Juanjuan stopped her mother, "Let Fan Xixi hug her, she is Yuan Bao's aunt! If she doesn't hug her, Yuan Bao won't even recognize her."

As she said this, she winked at her mother.
Chapter completed!
