Guo Guo said, "But I want to protect you guys, just like when I was with my mother. I wanted to let my mother be with me, just like how I feel when I'm with my grandpa. I'm not afraid of anything."

"He really is a good child," his mother said.

Qi Liang used his chopsticks to pick up Guo Guo's favorite vegetables and said to Guo Guo, "Eat more food. You'll grow bigger and stronger. You'll only be able to protect us in the future."

Guo Guo smiled sweetly at Qi Zheng, then lowered her head to eat the rice in the bowl. Qi Ma whispered to Qi San, "Do you see that? Guo Guo isn't picky with her food. You have to learn from her in the future. Don't eat this or that." He lowered his head and ate the rice in the bowl.

Not long after he cleaned up the table, he received an unexpected guest. It was Ma Yanjun, whom he had met on the street in the morning.

Originally, Wu Yuzheng had planned to go to Sister Deming's place to organize the things she needed for tomorrow. Looking at Ma Yanjun who was sitting on the sofa chatting with Lili and Wu Yuzheng, she felt a burst of impatience in her heart. She wanted to leave, but was embarrassed.

Qi Yuan took the hint and sent Wu Yuzheng to the door. Wu Yuzheng said in a low voice: "This girl has a lot of eyes. You and Lili, be careful not to get sold by her and you still need to count the money. I'll go to Sister-in-law Deming's first. You and Lili should come as well."

Qi Chang said: "I know, do you think we are such stupid people?"

Wu Yuzheng smiled as he rode his bicycle and left. Ma Yanjun came out the door and said: "Then I'm leaving too. I'll come back and play with you guys when I have time."

Looking at the slim figure walking away, he said to Lily, "We're finally gone. It's so urgent. We still have a bunch of things to do."

Lili said, "Who knows, I was just casually inviting her. Who knew that she would come right away? Even back then, I didn't have a deep friendship with her."

Qi Xiang said, "Let's not talk about her. Let's go, we still have to prepare the things we need tomorrow."

The afternoon was still busy, and by the time the afternoon was over, it was already dark. Qi Yuan straightened his back and used his hand to lightly hammer, saying: "It's so tiring. Quickly go home and rest. Tomorrow we will have a tough battle."

Wu Yuzheng said: "We'll listen to your commands from tomorrow onwards. As long as you're the commander, you'll definitely be the victor."

Granny Fang said to the three of them, "Don't go back to eat tonight. You can eat here."

Qi Xiang said, "Grandma Fang, there's no need for that. I'll have to trouble you in the future."

Since it was Saturday and the students didn't have to study at night, the warm atmosphere in the room immediately dispelled the cold air.

Third Uncle and Fourth Uncle's children all came to play, and his father came back in the afternoon bus. His father, who was good at cooking, bought a lot of food, and his mother invited his grandfather and grandmother over, and when they entered the house, his father was still busy in the kitchen, while Wu Min and his mother were helping him. Qi Zheng saw his father happily calling out to Wu Yuzheng with a smile, "Dad, it's been a long time since I've eaten your cooking.

Lili also said from the side, "Uncle, Qi Gang has already done some promotional work for you. Our classmates all know that she has a father who cooks delicious food."

Father Qi smiled and said, "My daughter likes the dishes I cook. I'm happy, but don't try to help Dad with it in the future. Your dad is going to have a hard time under this pressure."

Qi Chuan smiled and asked, "My dad must be having a good time. Dad, quickly tell me what's so good about you."

Mama Qi said, "Your dad is going to be transferred from the electrical company to the county government office."

Qi Yuan asked curiously, "What are you doing in the electricity industry?"

Father Qi said, "I don't know either. The transfer order came so suddenly that I have to report it on Monday."

Qi Zhengyuan felt a little strange. His father should have retired in the field of electricity. How could he be transferred to the county government after being in his forties?

Wu Yuzheng and Wu Min, who were at the side, both remained silent. They had interacted more with people than other people, so they were a bit worried. What if their father was used or was the one who took the blame for others?

Looking at his elated father and then looking at his mother whose face was brimming with happiness and gratification because his father's career had improved, Qi Zhengyuan felt a headache. In such a complicated place, his father had to put in too much effort in order to carve out a piece of the world.

His family was still very happy to know about his promotion. Although he was still a bit old, it was still a big improvement for him to be able to work in the government.

Guo Guo was wearing a cotton jacket and pants made by her grandma as she played with the kids upstairs and upstairs. The bright red bottom was covered with a white, blue flower, and very traditional cotton clothing made from cotton clothing. When she wore it on Guo Guo's body, she looked like a little girl in a New Year painting.

There were more than ten dishes in the restaurant, and Father Qi split each dish into two bowls. He made a table for the children, then called Third Uncle and Fourth Uncle to come over. Everyone had a hearty meal. After the meal, everyone took a seat and then left. When Qi Tuo and Qi Hong left, they reluctantly told Guo Guo that Guo would bring her out to play on the street tomorrow, which was when Guo Guo followed her parents home.

When the family finally sat down, Mama Qi said, "We will be reunited after a few days when Tsinghua University returns."

Qi Yun said, "I heard that our teacher said that we could take a vacation before the new year. We can finally take a break."

Mr Qi said, "Although the holidays are over, we can't relax yet. We can't relax until after next year's exams."

Qi Yun said, "Anyway, I'm not going to high school, so I don't need to work so hard with Qi Yuan."

Father Qi said, "I asked your aunt. Your aunt said that the school you want to go to doesn't have a very high enrollment rate, and many people apply for it every year. If you want to pass the exam smoothly, you have to study for another half a year."

When Qi Jun heard this, he sighed and said, "I thought I wouldn't have to be so tired to learn, but I still had to work so hard."

Father Qi said, "You've never learned the phrase 'the plum blossoms' from the bitter cold. The reason you're studying hard now is so that you can lead a better life in the future."

Qi Yun said, "Alright then, I'll endure for another half a year. I'll try to get a good score for this exam. Dad, after I'm done with Qi Yuan, let's go on a tour."

Papa Qi asked curiously, "Why do you want to go on a trip?"

Qi said, "I heard from my class, Zhao Xiaoyan, that after she finishes her test, her mother is going to take her on a tour, so I thought we should go as well. Take Grandma and Grandpa and let's go on a tour around the mountains to the south."

Hearing that, Mama Qi laughed, "That's a good thing, we've decided then. After you and Qi Yuan finish the exam, we'll go on a tour together, we'll take a taxi and go to the mountains to the south."

Qi Yun said, "Sure, sure. Our whole family is going to play."

Guo Guo shouted from the side, "And me and me. When the time comes, I'll go with my mother."

Grandma hugged Guo Guo and smiled, "Okay okay, when the time comes we'll all go. How can we let Guo Guo fall?"

After joking for a while, Mr Qi said to Mrs Qi, "Tomorrow I will go over to see Qi Yanzhi. I haven't seen her for almost a month, I don't know if she's slimmed down yet."

Qi Yanzhuo was a gentle person. He did not care about everything, nor did he want Qi San to be so delicate and open. Among the siblings, those who were gentle and gentle were the least conspicuous.

Mother Qi said, "I got Mommy Tiantian to help me bring some food over last time. When you go tomorrow, I'll cook some pork ribs and bring them to her."

Qi said, "I heard from my classmates that her brother is from the same school as me, Sister Hua. They have only one week before the holidays."

Mama Qi said, "Yes, it's all a holiday before the new year. You guys can only be tired for a few more days. When the holidays are over, you can have a good rest."

When Guo Guo went to sleep at night, she took off her new cotton jacket and pants and put them on the pillow. Watching her clothes slowly enter the land of dreams, Li Li saw that Guo Guo was already asleep and whispered to Qi Chang, "Such a young child is so obedient. It seems like she has suffered a lot already."

Qi Yuan looked lovingly at Guo Guo and said to Li, "The first time I saw Guo Guo, she was sitting on the steps of the guest house by herself, with tears in her eyes. That gaze immediately attracted me, and I felt that if I didn't ask her why she was crying, I would definitely regret it. That time, it was because Ya Qin had something to do, so she wanted to find her mother.

Lili softly said, "This is also fate for you two. You know how many people come and go in front of the hostel? You're the only one that accompanied Guo Guo to wait for her mother. Why didn't others go?"

Seeing that it was getting late, they called for Lily to sleep. "We have to get up early tomorrow. Let's go to sleep."

It took a long time for the lights to get used to the darkness inside the house. The cool moonlight passed through the gaps between the curtains, leaving the shadow of the branch of a poplar in the yard on the wall. Occasionally, the shadow would sway back and forth in the wind.

He did not know when he fell asleep, but in his dream, he saw his father fall into a pool of water and sink slowly. Qi Zheng desperately called for help from his father, but no one came, as soon as he woke up, he looked at the clock on the bedside table, it was already 5 o'clock, he shouted for Li Li, the two of them quietly got dressed and tidied up the bed, on the first day they went out of the stall, at the end of the year, they might have already taken the place.
