When Cheng Su called to invite them to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival in Qing City, Mother Qi was overjoyed and immediately began preparing her clothes and belongings. She planned to stay for a long time this time.
"Our in-law has helped us take care of Xiao Qi for a year. She's worked hard and deserves a break. You see how lonely our father-in-law is by himself. Now that my leg is much better, taking care of Xiao Qi won't be a problem. Let me take over," Mother Qi said happily.
Father Qi watched her with her high spirits and wanted to say something. But the words got stuck in his throat, and after a long while, he finally said, "You talk about our father-in-law being lonely, but what about me? Won't I be lonely if you go to Qing City, leaving this old man behind?"
Mother Qi was taken aback and teased, "You old coot, are you really jealous of your own grandson?"
