Chapter 1076 Returning to Ningcheng and Xiao's House
New Year's Day.
Chi Zao and Xiao Yu were having a vegetarian breakfast with Qin Yuanshan.
Qin Yuanshan told Chi Zao: "Lu Zongfan also sent you a generous New Year gift. Master, I will ask Lao Qin to send you to your room later."
Chi Zao was slightly stunned. He really didn't expect that Mr. Lu would give her a special gift.
Then she can't go back to the Lu family to say thank you?
Qin Yuanshan saw her thoughts and said, "Don't think too much. This gift is what he should give. As for whether to go to the Lu family or not, it's up to you."
Chi Zao nodded, "Okay."
Suddenly, Butler Qin opened the door and came in: "Mr. Qin, someone from the Qin family is here again. It's Qin Zhi."
Qin Yuanshan’s nephew.
Qin Yuanshan put down his chopsticks and frowned slightly: "Why are you here again?"
Butler Qin: "It is said that Director Qin has had a high fever since last night. After he was sent to the hospital overnight, he kept talking about wanting to see you."
Qin Yuanshan's face darkened slightly and he sighed: "That's it. You answer him, I'll go over later."
Butler Qin: "Yes."
Chi Zao ate in silence.
Qin Changshan is not young anymore.
Compared to his master, rumors from outside seem that he is not in very good health.
Otherwise, she would not be so eager for her master to accept a child of the Qin family as his apprentice to maintain the relationship between her master and the Qin family.
Qin Yuanshan said to Chi Zao: "You should also take a good vacation for yourself these days. Over in Ningcheng, if you want to go back, go back early."
Chi Zao did have plans to return to Ningcheng and nodded: "Yes, I will go back with Xiao Yu tomorrow."
Qin Yuanshan said nothing more and told her to pay attention to her safety.
Chi Zao looked at the back of his master as he left, and could clearly feel his depressed mood, probably because of Director Qin's illness.
But it was hard for her to ask too many questions, after all, it was Master's family matter.
…
At three o'clock in the afternoon the next day, the plane landed in Ningcheng.
Chi Zao and Xiao Yu got off the plane.
Yan Fei came to pick him up.
"Ms. Chi, Happy New Year!"
"You too, Happy New Year."
Chi Zao glanced at Xiao Yu curiously, "Are you going to give Yan Fei two days off?"
Xiao Yu went to Kyoto on New Year's Eve.
Yan Fei did not follow.
Today, the second day of the lunar new year, Yan Fei showed up again non-stop.
Chi Zao thought for a moment that he, who had given Long Er seven days off, could be regarded as a model of a good boss, right?
"more than."
Xiao Yu squeezed her hand and said a little innocently: "Give him the standard seven days of annual leave."
Hearing this, Yan Fei hurriedly answered the question and explained: "Yes, yes, yes! Don't get me wrong, Miss Chi, I didn't exploit me. It's just that I felt uncomfortable as soon as I was on vacation and couldn't stay at home at all. When I heard that you were going to come back,
, I decided to drive over by myself to pick you two up."
To put it bluntly.
He just followed Xiao Yu's high-intensity work habit for a long time.
I feel uncomfortable when I'm on vacation.
As soon as I'm at home, I feel like I'm doing nothing, like a waste.
He was extremely happy when he heard that Xiao Yu and Chi Zao were coming back to Ningcheng.
He directly stole the driver's job and decided to pick up and drop off the two of them himself.
Chi Zao felt helpless when he heard this.
Xiao Yu asked her: "Go to my place?"
"Can."
Chi Zao thought about it for a moment. The purpose of returning to Ningcheng this time was to visit her mother's grave, and to accompany Xiao Yu to pay New Year's greetings to Mr. Xiao.
It will be more convenient if you live in Xiaoyu.
She told Xiao Yu her plan.
Xiao Yu's eyes narrowed slightly and he said in a deep voice: "There's no rush to wish the old man a happy New Year. I'll go see my aunt first."
Chi Zao nodded: "Okay."
…
Ningcheng Cemetery.
The car stopped.
Xiao Yu glanced at the direction of the cemetery and said, "I'll accompany you there."
Chi Zao was slightly stunned, but he didn't speak yet.
The man squeezed her hand gently again and said helplessly: "I am your boyfriend. I should be qualified to accompany you to see your aunt, right?"
Chi Zao laughed: "Yes, yes."
The two picked up flowers and fruits and walked toward the cemetery.
Before going to Kyoto.
Chi had already arranged for people from the cemetery to clean up the weeds on her mother's gravesite regularly.
So this time I came here, Xie Yunzhi’s graveyard was also clean.
Chi Zao bent down and placed a bouquet of flowers in front of the tomb. He looked at Xie Yunzhi in the photo and said softly: "Mom, Happy New Year."
Are you okay there?
Don't worry, I'll try my best.
You wish me a good life, and I have done it.
Hope to see you again soon...
Xiao Yu stood next to her, watching quietly as she lowered her head to wipe the photo on her mother's tombstone. His heart tightened slightly, and he held her cold little hand.
The breeze blows.
Chi Zao's hair was lifted up by her ears.
What followed the wind was her cold voice: "Mom, he is Xiao Yu, you know him. Now, he is my boyfriend."
The words fell.
The man's deep eyes stared at her quiet profile, and the corners of his mouth slowly raised a slight arc.
The next second, he looked at the tombstone and said solemnly: "Auntie, please don't worry, I will take good care of her."
The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the two of them.
The orange-gold light brings a bit of warmth that is rare in winter to the entire gray and dull tombstone.
…
The next morning.
Chi Zao was having breakfast when she heard Xiao Yu say to her: "Grandpa knows that we are back. Let us go to the old house for lunch at noon."
He paused and asked again: "Do you want to go?"
Chi Zao was slightly stunned.
I realized what he meant by asking.
Today is the second day of the Lunar New Year.
Aunt Xiao will definitely go back to her old house to have dinner with Mr. Xiao.
If she doesn't want to go, she can avoid it and go back in two days.
Chi Zao thought for a moment, "Grandpa has already spoken, so let's go."
Anyway, sooner or later I have to pay my New Year greetings to the old man.
It makes no difference whether it's one day earlier or one day later.
As for the other members of the Xiao family, she can just ignore them and it won't be a big problem.
but.
Wait until we arrive at the old house.
I saw many cars parked at the door.
Xiao Yuxian frowned and said to her in a deep voice: "There may be many people coming back today."
It’s not just Auntie Xiao.
The Xiao family often found trouble for him at the end of the year.
They were all suppressed by him with strong force.
When you meet them now, you will inevitably have a verbal conflict.
It was a bad New Year mood for him and Chi Zao.
Chi Zao said calmly: "It doesn't matter. Just go and pay New Year's greetings to the old man, as long as you don't stay for dinner."
Xiao Yu: "Okay."
They get off the car.
The housekeeper of the Xiao family came up to him and said with a smile: "Young Master Xiao and Miss Chi are finally here. The old man has been talking about it for a long time and is waiting for you two."
"Sister-in-law! Fourth brother!"
Just as Chi Zao and Xiao Yu were about to go in, they saw Xiao Yue at the door.
Xiao Yue was very surprised to see the two of them!
He walked towards them with quick steps.
He looked very happy.
"Long time no see, Miss Six."
Chi Zao greeted politely.
Xiao Yue looked at her with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you don't have to be so polite! You are my savior, just call me A Yue from now on!"
She still remembered how she was rescued by Chi Zao before.
If it weren't for Chi Zao, she would have been taken abroad by those international mercenaries, and her life or death would not be known.
