Chapter 1128 Fair Love (55)
"So, grandma?" Qi Yan was certainly not a fool. At this time, he naturally guessed that the so-called "Qi Hongyao" was his grandma.
"So what do you mean by that? Back then, besides our full names, we also had nicknames, pen names, and pseudonyms," Old Lady Qi explained. "Hongyao is my nickname!"
Then she turned to the nanny and said, "Go take the clothes from my innermost closet, the ones I only wear twice a year, to my room. I'm going to change. The weather is really nice today, and I'm in a good mood too. I'm going to meet my best friend."
What followed was a chaos, because not only did Old Lady Qi need to change her clothes, she also needed people to pack her crabapple preserves, crabapple honey, crabapple jam, and a series of other things.
The result was that one car could not be put down, and only Mrs. Qi's car could be driven out as well.
Originally, Qi Yan wanted to inform Su Tang so that the Su family could be on guard, but the old lady warned him not to leak any information throughout the process. She wanted to give her good friend a surprise.
The mountain where the Qi family lived and the location of the Su family's old house were just separated by a sea city. It took almost an hour to get from one end to the other.
By the time the Qi family arrived at the Su family's door in a mighty procession, it was almost lunchtime.
"Grandma, why don't we find a place nearby to eat something before going to the Su family! Isn't it bad to come here so rashly?" Qi Yan felt that this was somewhat rude.
"What's the big deal? If Xiaoyao and I hadn't been separated, she would have been your grandmother." Old Madam Qi looked regretful. "We were engaged as children, but unfortunately, fate played tricks on us and we didn't fulfill our promise."
Qi Zhen was also quick-witted: "It doesn't matter if my dad didn't make it, my brother did anyway."
Old Madam Qi was so preoccupied with reminiscing that she didn't hear clearly what her little grandson said, otherwise she would have prepared everything today and asked her son to come over and propose to her eldest grandson Qi Yan.
At the urging of his grandmother, Qi Yan went forward and knocked on the door. It was Aunt Zhou who opened the door again today.
She looked at Qi Yan in surprise, then smiled and said, "Young man, didn't you pick up my Xiaotang early this morning? Why is she here again now?"
Before Qi Yan could speak, a voice filled with surprise rang out: "Sister Zhou, is that you?"
It had been years since anyone called her "Little Sister Zhou." "Auntie Zhou" squinted her eyes and leaned over to look at the source of the voice. After just one glance, she couldn't help but point at the other person and exclaimed, "Miss Qi, Qi...Miss Qi..."
The reason she recognized Madam Qi so quickly was not because she hadn't changed, nor because she had good eyesight, but because Madam Qi had deliberately put on the Western dress she wore back then when she came.
Therefore, even after so many years, Zhou Xiaomei can still find the shadow of the high-spirited young lady from that year in this dress.
That's probably how the two of them felt back then.
Su Lan was checking on lunch in the kitchen at this time when she saw Aunt Zhou, who was always calm, flash by and run towards her mother's room with nimble legs and feet.
Although the woman was a few years younger than her mother, she was still nearly eighty years old. She hurried out of the kitchen and shouted after her, "Auntie Zhou, slow down and watch your step."
Zhou Xiaomei, however, could not hear any of this. She just felt as if she had returned to her hometown many years ago. Whenever spring was in full bloom, the eldest daughter of the Qi family would come to find her own daughter. Sometimes they would drink tea together, and sometimes they would go out together.
It was a pity that his young lady had bound her feet early on and could not walk too far, so the farthest place they had ever been was probably the teahouse near the Su family's house.
At this point in time, Old Madam Su was watching a short play. She was holding her tablet computer and was watching it with great interest when she heard a "bang" as Zhou Xiaomei pushed her away.
"Old Zhou, what are you doing?" Madam Su looked up at the newcomer. "You're so old, and you're still trying to destroy your house like a husky!"
Zhou Xiaomei calmed down her breathing and pointed outside: "Qi... Qi... Qi... Qi..."
"Qi? That kid named Qi who wants to be my grandson-in-law is here again?" Old Madam Su frowned slightly. "Didn't he just pick up Xiaotang this morning? He's here really early! He came at seven o'clock. What does he want to do now?"
At this time, Su Lan also followed into her mother's room. She said a little worriedly: "Aunt Zhou, are you okay? You ran too fast just now, I couldn't catch up with you!"
"No, no!" Zhou Xiaomei finally caught her breath and said quickly, "Miss Qi is here, Miss Qi is looking for you!"
"Who?" Upon hearing the words "Miss Qi", Madam Su instantly sat up from the couch. In a hurry, she stood up and was about to walk out.
It’s just that her three-inch golden lotus wasn’t strong enough. Just as she took a few steps out of the room, her legs went weak and she fell to the side.
"Nonsense!" A serious voice came from Madam Su's side. "Don't you know what's wrong with your feet? When you were young, you couldn't walk fast, and now you're trying to show off and hurt your old bones. What are you going to do?"
