On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, a restaurant was only doing lunch business, so it closed the door and let the guys go back to have a reunion dinner.

Because Qi Qingxi also stayed up late to make snacks as usual today, she went to catch up on sleep after work, and slept until Shen Shi.

The younger siblings knew that they were going to visit someone else's house today, and they had already changed their clothes and were waiting for her, so she hurried to wash and change.

It was a bit funny to say that she had known that family for several months, but she still didn't know their last name. This was also the first time she had visited their family as a guest.

But Qi Yunhui and Qi Nuan seemed to be very familiar with the courtyards of other people's homes, and they took Qi Qingxi and Qi Yunming to the hall of the main house without a servant leading the way.

"Waiting for you for a long time, finally here."

Guo stepped forward and took Qi Qingxi's hand and walked to the back yard, Ah Yue led Qi Nuan, and the two brothers Yunming and Yunhui followed the twin brothers at the end.

To recognize relatives today, Mrs. Guo specially told the children to dress more formally, so as not to let the younger siblings feel that they were being slighted.

When he arrived at the banquet, Mrs. Guo didn't speak in a hurry, but ordered the servants to serve the dishes, and the table was opened first.

She was afraid that what she said would surprise the children too much and make them unable to eat, so eat first before talking.

Guo Shi so solemnly invited their siblings to dinner in person, Qi Qingxi couldn't help but think about it.

But she didn't expect them to be dragged to the dining table for dinner as soon as they entered someone's house. It seemed that she was overthinking it. Maybe they just thought they looked pleasing to the eye and wanted to treat them to a meal.

The dining table is filled with all kinds of delicious dishes, which is very solemn, and it is enough to show how much the host attaches importance to the guests.

Mrs. Guo kept giving their brothers and sisters a few vegetables, persuading them to eat more vegetables.

After dinner, Mrs. Guo led them back to the front hall again, and ordered the servants to close the doors and windows, as if he wanted to talk to them about something mysterious.

Mrs. Guo on the main seat pondered for a long time before saying: "I heard Yun Hui mention that your mother's surname is Li."

Qi Qingxi nodded when she thought of Li Shi written on the tombstone.

Guo said again: "Your mother also has an older brother."

From Guo's tone of voice, Qi Qingxi could tell that what she said was a statement, not a question. Was this also what Yun Hui said?

Qi Qingxi glanced at Qi Yunhui, and said: "Yes, but I heard that something happened to my grandfather's house, and my uncle was unfortunately buried in the sea of ​​fire."

Everyone has the heart of gossip.

But what surprised Qi Qingxi was that this lady seemed very interested in their uncle who died early.

Guo said again: "Is your mother's name Li Ruoyue?"

Qi Qingxi didn't know their mother's name, so she turned her head to look at Qi Yunming, who nodded to her in surprise.

He didn't expect this lady to know their mother's name.

Then, Mrs. Guo pulled her daughter Ayue to her, and introduced to the brothers and sisters with a slightly excited expression: "Ayue's full name is Li Nianyue, which was given to her by her father in memory of her aunt, and Ayue's aunt is you." His mother, Li Ruoyue."

Guo stood up from his seat, pointed to his two sons and said, "This is your two cousins, Yuan Zhe and Yuan Hao."

Then he patted himself and said, "I am your aunt."

Qi Qingxi and the others were completely stunned when they heard Guo's words.

Mrs. Guo had expected the reaction of several people, and sat next to Qi Qingxi and explained to them slowly: "Your uncle was rescued by someone and escaped, and then entered the military camp to hide from the enemy..."

Mrs. Guo told several children in great detail about their uncle's life in the past so many years.

Even Li Nianyue was the first time to hear her mother talk about these past events in the family, and it was also the first time for her to know that her tall and stalwart father, who loved her so much, had such a sad life in the past.

Especially when her mother mentioned that her father went deep into the enemy camp alone in order to earn a chance to avenge his grandfather, and was almost hacked to death.

She suddenly thought of the long scar on her father's forehead, if it was longer, the eyeballs would be cut off, and she couldn't help crying softly.

Guo narrated the past, even the eldest son Li Yuanzhe, who was always out of tune, listened seriously.

"Your uncle has never given up looking for you all these years. It was not until last year that he found out that your mother might be near Ansui County. He originally wanted to come in person, but the war in the Northwest was urgent, so he had to be ordered to go out and asked me to come. Looking for you."

Li Nianyue on the side couldn't help interjecting: "That's right, cousin, we went out last year, and it took almost a year to find you."

Mrs. Guo nodded: "Your uncle's people in Ansui searched all the way to Ningyuan Village, but the person came back and reported that he didn't find out that there was a family surnamed Li over there."

When Qi Qingxi heard this, she remembered that Grandma Liu had told her that someone went to the village to inquire about Li's family. At that time, she wondered if it was their uncle who died early who came back to find his family, but she did not expect that she was right. up.

"Your uncle means to take you guys to the capital. Now that you have no parents, you should be taken care of by his uncle."

Qi Qingxi and Qi Yunming looked at each other when they heard the words, not knowing how to respond for a moment.

After being silent for a long time, Mrs. Guo looked at Qi Qingxi and said: "Auntie knows that Qingxi is a good person, and she takes good care of her younger siblings with her own ability. Yun Ming is also very promising. After passing the college examination, you will be a scholar at a young age, and Yun Hui and Ah Nuan are very good children."

Guo reached out and touched Qi Qingxi's hair and said softly: "But no matter what, you are only 16 years old now, and you are still a child in the eyes of your uncle and aunt, so you don't have to embarrass yourself so much."

Hearing these words, Qi Qingxi suddenly had the urge to cry.

In the past, when her mother disciplined her, she always liked to talk back and say why she still likes to discipline her as an ignorant child when she is so old.

At this time, her mother would reply to her: "You are my daughter no matter how old you are, even if you are 80 years old, you are still a child in my eyes."

How long has it been since someone talked to her like this, treating her like a child.

"also."

Guo Shi spoke again, and Qi Qingxi came back to his senses.

"Your aunt also thinks that women are not born to stay at home and take care of their husbands and children. If you like to make money, go to Beijing to invest in your aunt's business."

She looked at Qi Yunming again: "Yunming is so smart at such a young age and loves to read, so he should find a better school to study in. It just so happens that my father is the Imperial College Jijiu, so he will cherish good students like Yunming very much."

"And Yunhui, if you like martial arts, you can ask your two cousins ​​to teach you first. Their tricks of punching and embroidering legs are still impressive. When your uncle returns from the battlefield, let your uncle teach you in person."

Mrs. Guo pulled Ah Nuan who was beside Qi Qingxi into her arms: "Your cousin A Yue is now studying in the girls' school in the aunt's family. When the time comes, Ah Nuan will also follow your cousin A Yue to the school to study, okay?"
