101:

Gu Qiao knew that there would be many things waiting for him when he returned to the Shi family.

After all, he had already seen it last time. Although the Imperial Group was on annual leave, the Shi family on Fusheng Island had no annual leave to speak of.

What's more, it's the end of the year, and everyone who has been assigned to the outside world by the Shi family will come back. As the head of the family, it is impossible to relax.

But Shi Jiudu pestered Gu Qiao relentlessly: "As long as you come, I will have time!"

Shi Jiudu really couldn't bear to be separated for too long. It took a whole week from New Year's Eve to New Year's Eve.

And he won't have any free time in the next few days after the New Year. In addition, it is the first year for the little girl to return to the Qi family to celebrate the New Year. The Qi family will definitely not let the little girl leave so early.

Shi Jiudu got a headache just thinking about it.

However, the marriage was proposed, and the matter between the two of them was made clear. However, the Qi family and the Shi family had not set an engagement date for a long time, which made Shi Jiudu even more worried.

Probably because Shi Jiudu's resentment was too deep, Gu Qiao didn't make up his mind after all and could only nod and agree to him.

"Okay. I'll go find you."

In an instant, Jiudu was filled with joy. He pressed the little girl and kissed her for a full half hour before they separated.

The next day outside Fusheng Island, Shi Jiudu waved goodbye to the little girl. At the same time, he also sent people to bring the gifts he had prepared long ago to the submarine.

And bid farewell to the Qi family.

"Grandpa Qi, Qiao Qiao has a cold temperament, so I'm sorry to bother you."

Mr. Qi glanced at the piles of gifts in the Qi family's submarine cabin and snorted coldly. Do you need to explain this specifically? Obviously this is the little princess of our Qi family.

snort……

However, everyone in the Qi family watched Shi Jiudu say goodbye to everyone, and then watched the group leave without even talking to the little princess. This made the Qi family very puzzled.

In the end, Mr. Qi snorted coldly and said angrily: "Anyway, we can see you again in two days, why is he anxious! Humph..."

In an instant, everyone in the Qi family understood.

Also, a few years ago, the Shi family would still send people to visit. Sometimes Mr. Shi would come in person, sometimes it would be the Shi family couple, and Shi Jiudu would come when he was free. But it was very rare.

But this year, Shi Jiudu must have come to visit in person. After all, this year is different from previous years.

After Mr. Qi landed on the island, he immediately took Gu Qiao back to his yard and asked, "Shi family, what do you think?"

Gu Qiao looked at the old man with some confusion, not understanding what it meant.

Qi Tianchen poured a glass of warm water for Gu Qiao and slowly explained: "The two families have always been in contact, and they will visit each other before and after years, but this year the meaning is different."

"Although you and Shi Jiudu are not officially engaged, your marriage has been made public."

"So this year, Shi's family didn't just come to visit."

Qi Tianchen looked at Gu Qiao deeply. "But I came for you."

Gu Qiao held his head and looked at Qi Tianchen doubtfully, still not quite sure what this had to do with her.

Qi Tianchen could only explain to Gu Qiao one by one how people in the secular world get married.

And Gu Qiao probably understood it. This time the Shi family came to visit, it was not just a visit, but what was commonly known as "sweeping the festival."

This is a custom and etiquette. It also shows respect for the woman's family.

Mr. Qi continued what Qi Tianchen said: "So, maybe not only Xiaojiu's parents will come, but the old man of the Shi family will also come."

"Xiaoqiao, you are the little princess of our family. To be honest, you just came back not long ago, and we didn't want to tie you to the Shi family so soon. That's why I didn't respond to the engagement."

"However, this does not mean that the Shi family's attitude can be arbitrary."

"We don't want to wrong you."

In an instant, Gu Qiao understood the meaning of the old man's words. In other words, he wanted to see what the attitude of the Shi family was.

If Shi Jiudu really likes Gu Qiao, then coming here this time will definitely not be as simple as in previous years.

If the Shi family didn't attach so much importance to it, the old man wouldn't want to wrong Gu Qiao.

"I have already lost a daughter, and I don't want my granddaughter who finally got me back to suffer any further grievances."

Mr. Qi's words instantly moved Gu Qiao. She could probably understand why the Qi family worked together.

Gu Qiao poured a new cup of food for Mr. Qi, smiled lightly and said, "The only thing I care about is Shi Jiudu."

As for other people, she didn't care at all.

"Grandpa, I have recognized him in this life."

Gu Qiao's words also gave Mr. Qi and Qi Tianchen a sense of confidence and their own thoughts.

As long as she is sure, everything will be easy to talk about.

After Qi Tianchen sent Gu Qiao back to her residence, he went back to look for the old man.

"Grandpa, before uncle Shi and his wife went to the island, they went to Luo's house. I'm afraid..."

Mr. Qi was convinced by his granddaughter's attitude. He waved his hand.

"Yuanbo and his wife are not stupid. Besides, old man Shi is not a vegetarian either."

"In both public and private matters, neither husband nor wife dare to make a fuss over this matter."

Qi Tianchen also knew this truth, but whenever he thought of Mrs. Shi's attitude towards Luo Xin, Qi Tianchen felt unhappy privately.

After all, that future is the mother-in-law of the little princess.

Since ancient times, there have been many conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the world, and here is a daughter-in-law-to-be who has watched her grow up in front of her.

No matter how he thought about it, he felt unhappy.

In fact, Mr. Qi also has this concern, so this is why he has never agreed to the engagement banquet.

After all, the attitude of Mr. and Mrs. Shi Yuanbo is really unpleasant.

Mr. Qi stood up and said slowly: "Let's see their attitude this year."

If it doesn't work, they will think of other ways.

Since the little princess has identified Shi Jiudu as a person, as long as Shi Jiudu loves the little princess enough, he will definitely not let her suffer any injustice.

At this time, Shi Jiudu did not immediately return to the main courtyard as soon as he landed on the island, nor did he deal with the things piled up on the island. Instead, he went straight to Mr. Shi's courtyard.

Shi's father and Shi's mother only arrived on the island one step ahead of Shi Jiudu, so Shi Jiudu was naturally aware of what happened before Shi's father and Shi's mother came to the island.

Therefore, it was not surprising to see Shi's father and Shi's mother passing by with gifts in the old man's yard.

However, Shi's father and Shi's mother were a little surprised.

Because of this matter in the past, even if Shi Jiudu went to the island, he should have gone to work, and it was impossible to come to the old man immediately.

After Shi Jiudu called out to someone, he directly explained his purpose.

"This visit to Qi's house is different from previous years. Grandpa, what do you think?"

With one sentence, the Shi family and his wife immediately heard something.
