Huo Nian blinked his eyes to confirm again, and when he saw that his sister was still there, he suddenly rushed over.
Huo Xi caught him with a smile: "How old are you?" and rushed towards her to hug him. After hugging him, she let him down.
Seeing Huo Nian pouting, he poked him in the face: "Your classmates are watching."
Huo Nian turned around and saw Fang Qi and Gu Yu looking at him, a little embarrassed.
But I couldn't see my sister for several months, and I thought about it every day. She took Huo Xi's hand and walked to Fang Qi: "My sister is back. I can't go tomorrow. I want to accompany my sister."
Fang Qi pouted and looked at Huo Xi sadly, and Gu Yu also looked at her. If Huo Nian didn't go, it wouldn't be interesting for him to go alone.
Huo Xi smiled and said: "You must do what you promised your friends, and don't regret it easily."
"But I want to accompany my sister."
"Sister, when she comes back, she won't leave. She will stay with you every day."
Huo Nian looked up at her, nodded happily, turned to Fang Qi and said, "Then I'll go tomorrow and be there on time."
Fang Qi and Gu Yu were now happy. The three friends had made an appointment to meet tomorrow and would go back to their respective homes.
Huo Xi asked Youqing and Chuyi to give Huo Nian the box they brought, "Nian'er gave the candied fruit that my sister brought to your good friend, give it to your friend."
Huo Nian's eyes lit up. He took the two boxes and gave them to his two friends one by one. He said solemnly: "My sister brought these back from the north for you to eat."
The two children were very sensible and thanked Huo Xi solemnly: "Thank you, sister Huo." Then they waved goodbye to Huo Nian and got on the carriage that came to pick them up.
Watching the two good friends go away, Huo Nian held her sister's hand tightly and looked at Huo Xi with a happy expression. Huo Xi smiled: "Are you so happy that your sister is back?"
"Happy!"
Huo Xi shook his little hand and said, "Okay, let's take Mom and An An out later. Let's go to Mochou Lake to charter a boat and have dinner on the boat."
"Okay!" Huo Nian jumped up, broke away from her hand, and ran forward a few steps, extremely happy.
After running a few steps back, he held her hand tightly again, walked two steps, looked up at her, looked at her, then pursed his lips and snickered.
Huo Xi felt soft in her heart.
Fang Qi opened the food box in the car and saw a box full of various candied fruits, packed in eight compartments. The aroma made him swallow his saliva. He picked up a piece and put it into his mouth, chewed it twice, it was delicious.
His eyes narrowed.
Stop eating once you've eaten one piece, and close the box.
When he arrived at the door of the house, he didn't let the boy take it. He picked up the box and ran into the house, "Grandpa, grandma!"
The Fang family is dressing up in red and colorful decorations for the old man’s birthday tomorrow.
"Hey, Qi'er is back? Come on, come to grandma."
Mrs. Fang and his wife were discussing tomorrow's birthday with their sons and daughters-in-law. When they saw their grandson coming back from school, they stopped talking.
"Grandma, grandpa."
"Hey, our Qi'er has finished school? Are you tired? Come quickly and give us some water, grandma."
Fang Qi drank a cup of tea from the old lady's hand and sighed with satisfaction, amusing the old lady.
Fang Qi's father was an upright man. When he saw his son looking helpless and asking to be fed just to drink water, he couldn't help but scold him. He turned around and was scolded several times by the old man and the old lady.
The old lady caressed her grandson's little face: "Our Qi'er's body has become much stronger since she learned martial arts."
Seeing that he was sweating all over his forehead, he took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat.
Seeing him holding a box tightly in his arms, he asked curiously: "What is this and where did it come from? What kind of good thing did I hold in my arms all the way?"
"Grandma, it's a good thing." Fang Qi couldn't help but show off.
He carefully opened the box, picked up a piece and put it into the old lady's mouth. He also fed a piece to his grandfather and a piece to his mother. He glanced at his father and did not send it there.
His father would definitely not eat it and would scold him.
"It's delicious." The old lady and the old man kept nodding, "Where did it come from?"
"It was given by Huo Nian's sister."
Everyone in the family has heard of Huo Nian's name and is very familiar with it.
I knew that he was Qi'er's classmate at the school, and he and Qi'er stayed in class for an extra hour to practice martial arts after school. And I heard that the kid was better than Qi'er in literature classes, and that Qi'er couldn't keep up with Qi'er in martial arts.
Listening to his grandson chattering about Huo Nian and his sister, Mr. Fang stroked his beard and kept nodding. The Huo family can handle this.
He told his grandson: "Tomorrow your classmate will come into the house and bring it to grandpa to see." He also told his daughter-in-law to send someone to look after several children.
"Dad, he is just a child from an ordinary family." Fang Qingzhuo couldn't help but say.
There are so many people wishing birthdays tomorrow, but his father still has time to meet one of his grandson's classmates? He gave me a big face.
Mr. Fang glared at him: "You will just be an eighth-grade city gate official until you are old."
Seeing his son's unconvinced look, he sighed.
"I have checked the two classmates that Qi'er has good friends with. Gu Yu's family is a merchant, but they have a little money. Although Huo Nian's family started out as a fisherman, his uncle is the shopkeeper of Guangfeng Water. Although his reputation is not well-known in Beijing, his family has been in the military uniform business for five years. If he didn't have some connections behind him, how could he do this? Besides, his sister is not very old and dares to run around. The two siblings will be in the future. Don’t even dare to underestimate it.”
"If a little lady dresses up as a man and runs around, what kind of good marriage can she get in the future?" Fang Qingzhuo frowned.
Old Mrs. Fang looked at this upright son and couldn't help but shake his head.
His ancestors had also been high-ranking officials, but now they were in decline. Only the eldest son in the family became an eighth-rank city gate official. And because of his upright temperament, he had been stuck in the eighth-rank position for these years.
He had no hope for this son.
Fortunately, grandson is a good person. He has learned well in literature, is also interested in martial arts, and has learned well. His family does not have many connections in the capital, so what would be wrong if grandson makes more good friends.
Ignoring his son, he only told his grandson: "Enter your classmates well tomorrow and bring that Huo Nian to my grandfather. He gave us such a box of delicious preserves. My grandfather should thank him profusely."
Fang Qi nodded his head and agreed.
On the other hand, Gu Yu returned home with the box of food in his arms, and was also reluctant to eat it, so he immediately delivered it to his parents.
Gu Yu's father was a businessman. His ancestors had accumulated a lot of family property, and a lot of it was given to him. The Gu family owned several wine shops, tea shops and inns, and the annual income was quite large.
Naturally, I also inquired about the origins of the friends I had made with my son.
Guangfeng Water has suddenly emerged, and last year it went to sea with Langguang Pavilion and Longxing. Naturally, Gu Changxing did not dare to underestimate the Huo family.
The father and son, both chubby, sat together and ate candied fruits one by one.
Gu Changxing told his son while eating: "Your friend named Huo Nian is a good friend. You must make good friends with him. You may need to lend him a helping hand in the future."
Gu Yu nodded while eating: "Huo Nian and I get along very well. He doesn't think I'm fat. He even gives me extra lessons and helps me correct my fists and kicks. He doesn't think I'm holding him back at all."
Huo Nian is his favorite friend.
Gu Changxing nodded and turned to his wife: "From now on, all our fabrics will be purchased from Guangfengshui."
Gu Yu's mother nodded in agreement, whichever store she went to buy from. As long as it was good for her family and her son, she was willing to do it. Seeing that her son had lost a lot of weight and gained a lot of strength, she smiled.
