There was a whistle outside, and Li Wei hurriedly wiped his hands on the towel and ran out and opened the door.
Li Jianbo parked his car in the underground garage and came out with two more bags in his hand.
Qi Jingyi saw the two people walking through the window. She had met this nephew twice a few years ago, but now she probably wouldn't recognize him even if he walked towards her on the street.
"Auntie!" Li Jianbo walked in and greeted Qi Jingyi.
Qi Jingyi nodded and smiled: "Jianbo still recognizes me."
Li Jianbo wondered why he didn't recognize them. The two sisters were carved from the same mold.
Li Wei asked Qi Jingyi to go upstairs to rest first, and she had to go into the kitchen to work for a while.
After Li Wei put the plates of dishes on the table, moved the induction cooker up, and put the prepared base pot on the table, the two of them came out of their respective rooms.
"Sister Qi, do you like to eat tomato pot the most? I added a lot of tomatoes, I wonder if it will be sour. The base soup is made with chicken rack bones and tube bones for two hours, and the red soup uses our plum soup. It’s a family secret. You can try both of the two unique flavors.”
Qi Jingyi smiled and said, "I almost stopped cooking by myself after you left. It sounds like I really missed your cooking skills." Qi Jingyi was not polite and sat down first.
Li Jianbo also sat down and turned to talk to Li Wei about the business trip, but Li Wei paid attention to him: "The air tickets and everything have been booked. I will help you clean up your change of clothes later."
"Is there a special gift you want?"
Li Wei thought that she was no longer a child, and she was still asking for gifts everywhere. She smiled and shook her head and said, "No, second brother, just take care of yourself."
"Is Jianbo going somewhere?"
Li Jianbo said somewhat calmly: "I'm going on a business trip to the capital. My aunt, let Weiwei accompany you these days."
"It's okay, you can go about your business. Li Wei and I have known each other for many years." Qi Jingyi is not close to her nephew, but she can still talk to Li Wei.
Li Jianbo also kept talking to his sister at the dinner table, but he left this little aunt in the cold. After the meal, Li Jianbo took the initiative to help Li Wei wash the dishes. In the kitchen, Li Wei whispered to her second brother, "Sister Qi, she seems to be in trouble. Can you help her?"
"I'll try my best." Li Jianbo still didn't know how to contact his relatives there.
He wiped his hands and walked upstairs. Qi Jingyi was sitting on the sofa watching TV. The phone in the room rang, and he walked into the room and picked up the receiver.
"Jianbo, have you received your aunt?"
"Got it. She is watching TV outside right now. Do you want to say something to her?"
"I'll talk to you for a few words first, and then you can call her for me."
After all, overseas phone calls are not easy to make. Some old voices on the other side said: "Your aunt is stubborn and has a good heart. I heard that she was defrauded of a lot of money a while ago and she is in big trouble. Please help me." Take care of her. Find her something to do and let her settle down."
Li Jianbo paused for a few seconds before saying, "How should I settle her?"
"Can we still arrange the hotel in Beihai? She is sick and the environment there is good. She can rest and work at the same time. I leave her to you, and you are responsible for taking good care of her."
"Auntie, that person wants to talk to you." Li Jianbo walked out and said respectfully.
Qi Jingyi said: "Ah, okay." She was still thinking about who "that" was.
Li Jianbo was taking a nap in the living room when Li Wei cleaned up the kitchen and came up. She walked over, turned down the sound of the TV, and closed the window.
"Second brother, why don't you go back to the house and sleep?"
"It's okay." Qi Jingyi hasn't finished the phone call yet.
After chatting here for nearly half an hour, Qi Jingyi finally hung up the phone and walked out with red eyes.
Li Jianbo thought to himself, let’s talk about it tomorrow if there’s anything else.
"Sister Qi, have you brought your pajamas? If you are not prepared, you can wear mine first if you don't mind."
Qi Jingyi smiled hard: "I brought it."
Now they go back to their rooms to sleep. The weather was a bit hot, and Li Wei lay in bed unable to sleep. Suddenly, in the middle of the night, an unknown number sent her a text message.
"Hi, are you asleep?"
"Who are you?"
"Don't you even remember me? You heartless person..."
"You have something to say."
"Nothing, just saying hello to you."
…
Who is so boring? Li Wei stopped after chatting for a few words, and then fell asleep with his head covered.
She didn't know how long she had slept, but she suddenly heard some noise outside, and she woke up immediately with alertness. What was that noise outside? She quickly got up and opened the door to see what was going on. Looking through the dim light, I saw a person standing by the window. Her heart was pounding, and she breathed a sigh of relief when she realized it was Qi Jingyi.
"Sister Qi, what are you doing if you don't sleep at night?"
"I don't want to sleep, but I can't. In the past, I could only rely on medicine to survive, but now that there is no medicine around me, I have to endure it." Qi Jingyi was helpless.
Li Wei hurriedly walked over with a shiver in her heart, pulled Qi Jingyi and said: "Sister Qi, why don't you go into my room. If you have anything, you can have a good chat with me."
Li Wei went to pour Qi Jingyi a glass of water and dimmed the light of the bedside table lamp. She asked Qi Jingyi to sleep directly next to her.
"Did something happen to Sister Qi?"
"It's all in the past, so don't mention it."
"Sister Qi has not been happy these past few years. It would be nice if there was someone around you who could help you." Li Wei thought to herself that Qi Jingyi and her second brother had not been in contact for so many years, and she suddenly came to seek refuge with him. It's not like you wouldn't take this step when you're at the end of your rope.
Qi Jingyi was full of worries. Perhaps she was not ready to tell her little sister, who was more than ten years younger than her, about the difficulties she had experienced in the past.
Li Wei asked a few questions, but saw that Qi Jingyi remained silent. She could not continue to ask further, but she knew very well that the negative emotions carried by Qi Jingyi had seriously affected her health and had to be taken seriously.
Li Wei comforted her softly: "Sister Qi, don't be sad, it will always get better. You have experienced so many setbacks and survived, and this one will definitely pass."
Li Jianbo was resting the next day, and Li Wei happened to find him for discussion.
"Second brother, Sister Qi almost didn't sleep all night last night. Why don't you take her to the hospital for a checkup?"
"Okay, no problem."
But when Li Wei and Qi Jingyi asked to go see a doctor, Qi Jingyi refused: "Why are you going to the hospital? I won't go."
"Sister Qi, let my second brother take you over and take a look. You can also prescribe some medicine that will help you sleep."
Qi Jingyi was pulled into Li Jianbo's car by Li Wei, who was driving.
He asked this relative of the Qi family without looking back.
"Auntie, are you willing to go to Beihai?"
"Beihai, why should I go to Beihai?"
"I told you on the phone last night that I can let you go there. The environment is good and the work is easier. If you want to go, I can make arrangements."
Qi Jingyi knew it was the eldest sister's idea. She shook her head and refused: "I don't want to go."
