140: sorry for being late
140: Sorry to be late
Fusheng Island, Shijia.
Main courtyard, dining room.
Shi Jiudu looked at the noodle bowl in front of him, folded the wiped tissue neatly, threw it into the trash can on the side, and nodded slightly to the couple opposite him.
"Thank you. It tastes great, delicious."
Suddenly, Shi's mother's eyes turned red; but Shi's father was not holding her hand aside, she was afraid that she would burst into tears.
That was her own son. She should have cooked such a bowl of noodles for him every year today.
It was only the first time she did this for more than twenty years.
And her son also said thank you to her, which was obviously what she should have done.
Shi Jiudu was afraid that Shi’s mother would not be able to control her. After a while, she really shed tears and could only change the topic.
"The Qi family is already on the road. It should be here in a while."
Shi's father was shocked at first, then he was happy. "Xiao Qiao, will you come here together?"
"The old man can notify you."
Shi Jiudu nodded. Early in the morning, Jiudu asked someone to send a message to the old man. He just heard from the person who reported that when the old man got the news, he called the old housekeeper and asked him to find the new clothes to try on.
.
I guess I'm still choosing new clothes now...
Shi's mother was also very happy to hear the news. Although she was at the Qi family that day, she was very happy to see Shi Jiudu when she came back.
But things didn't settle for a day, and she was always uneasy. After all, the Shi family is not as peaceful as the Qi family.
Now at the beginning of the year, Mr. Qi has brought Gu Qiao to visit her, and she is naturally happy to choose today.
Shi's mother wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and stood up with a smile. "Let's go and prepare quickly."
After saying that, he pulled Shi's father to leave. Seeing Shi's mother's happy appearance, he was both overflowing and helpless.
He could only helplessly rub his eyebrows and reminded: "Have you forgotten what you have in your hand?"
"Oh, right." Shi's mother turned around and handed the gift box in her hand to Shi Jiudu.
"This is left to me by your grandfather, and now I will give it to you and Xiao Qiao."
"I hope you will always be happy."
Shi Jiudu's fingertips trembled slightly. The ancestors of the Luo family were carving masters. The Luo family a hundred years ago was also considered a wealthy family. Otherwise, they would not have been able to cultivate a daughter like Shi Mu.
However, later the Luo family's craft was gradually lost, and the Luo family gradually declined.
But there is a heirloom in the Luo family. It is a pair of dragon and phoenix jade pendants. It is just that outsiders have only heard of it, but have never seen it.
"When your grandfather passed away, he handed it to me. He said at the time that this thing was destined to be my future daughter-in-law."
"I think it should be more destined to you and Xiao Qiao."
After the gift was given, Shi's mother pulled Shi's father away in a hurry. After all, the Qi family was about to come here later, Shi's mother naturally had to prepare for her life.
When the Qi family's submarine first appeared in the sight of the Shi family island, the news that the Qi family was coming also spread instantly.
*
"What, you really mean."
"Did you really see the Qi family's submarine?"
The servant gasped and wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied, "Really, I guess I've already been on the island now."
At this time, Shi Jiudu had already led Shi Guan and others to wait at the dock.
As soon as the people from the Qi family came down from the submarine, they saw Shi Jiudu and others on the shore.
Shi Jiudu was wearing a royal blue suit and wrapped in a jacket of the same color. He stood in front, but his eyes were always staring at the direction of the exit.
Until the Qi family came ashore one by one, when Gu Qiao finally appeared with Mr. Qi, Shi Jiudu finally couldn't help but step forward.
Mr. Qi looked at Shi Jiudu who rushed to him and was slightly displeased.
However, the next second, when he saw Shi Jiudu slapped a big white cloak in his hand on his little granddaughter, he improved slightly.
"Wear it, it's windy here." Shi Jiudu carefully brought the hat to Gu Qiao.
Then he greeted the Qi family members one by one.
"Grandpa Qi, Uncle Qi, Aunt Qi, Uncle Qi, Er Aunt Qi..."
Although the Qi family did not participate in the battle this time, Mr. Qi and all the people from the Qi family's exiled group were here. It is enough to show how much attention the Qi family attached to this time.
When Qi Xianheng saw that Shi Jiudu was full of his own little princess, he teased: "It seems that we have to be the best in Brother Jiu's eyes."
"He has a single eye for him, probably only his sister."
Shi Jiudu did not feel embarrassed, but became honest and nodded.
"Feel sorry."

Shi Jiudu led people to the dock to welcome the Qi family, and soon spread throughout the Shi family on Fusheng Island.
Originally, after Shi Jiudu and others came back from the Qi family a few years ago, they were a little panicked, and later they did not get the exact news from Mr. Shi, so they could comfort themselves a little.
But just now the beginning of the year, the Qi family came to the door in person.
Moreover, choose a day like today.
The people who came here were still from the Qi family's exile lineage, which made the Shi family more worried.
Could it be that the Qi family has really let go, and the good things of the two families are approaching.
The courtyard of the second bedroom of the Shi family.
Mr. Shi Er sat on his head, pinching the cup on his palm, his gloomy eyes seemed to be brewing some storm.
"The Qi family's exile lineage, are they all here?"
"Yes, Mr. Qi, the eldest and second brothers of the Qi family are all here."
"And, Young Master Shi personally led people to the master of his hometown."
"Master, I'm afraid this time..."
Mr. Shi Er snorted coldly. "Even if the Qi family lets go, so what!"
"How can the Qi family and the Shi family marry so simply and casually? The process of the Three Books and Six Rites alone will take a long time to do so."
"What's more, even if Shi Jiudu is anxious, the Qi family will not be wronged by the little princess."
"This period of time is enough for us to re-plan well. In short, as long as Gu Qiao and Shi Jiudu get married one day, everything will be variable."
The person below murmured softly. "But what if the two old men intend to get engaged as soon as possible, wouldn't that be a foregone conclusion?"
Mr. Shi Er drank all the tea that had been cooled in the cup and drank it all in one go.
The sound was a little cold and a little sinister!
"Then it depends on whether Shi Jiudu has this life and will last until that time."
From now to engagement, there is still a long time. Even if Mr. Shi is anxious, he will not be able to arrange the engagement between the two so quickly in a short while.
As long as these two people are not engaged, there will be a chance.
And, even if they are engaged, so what! As long as everything is not a foregone conclusion, they still have many opportunities.
But just an engagement, why should he be afraid?
Chapter completed!
