Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife Chapter 1545 - 1546: Showing Off

Before anyone could blink, it was the day of little Qi Xiaoqi’s full moon celebration. While the grand banquet would be held at a restaurant in the evening, the morning would see neighbors and family arriving at their home to offer congratulations. More importantly, the family was eager to see the new grandson first.

Consequently, Cheng Su rose early, and with Mother Cheng, attended to her son and arranged snacks, candies, tea, and other provisions at home to welcome the impending guests.

To preemptively address concerns about limited space should many people arrive, they even prepared an additional table and chairs at Guiying’s adjacent property.

Naturally, only the closest relatives and friends were expected, so Cheng Su felt no undue pressure.

Qi Taiguo was not home; despite it being his son’s significant day, military regulations were stringent. His ability to leave work before the banquet commenced would be a fortunate occurrence.

The very first to arrive in Qing City were, as expected, the paternal grandparents. Qi Fenglian had taken the day off, entrusting the management of her shop to her employee, while she and Xiao Yun waited at the bus station for an early pickup.

Upon spotting her family, Qi Fenglian offered a silent prayer. She had been quite anxious after receiving distressing news the last time Mother Qi visited and missed their arrival, fearing a similar mishap.

Now that everyone had arrived safely, her gratitude to the Bodhisattva for their protection was immense.

Given it was their grandson's momentous day, Father Qi and his party had opted for the earliest bus, reaching Qing City just around midday.

"Mom and Dad, in-laws, Second Aunt, it’s already noon. After such a lengthy journey, perhaps we should have a quick lunch at the fast-food place before heading over?" Qi Fenglian proposed.

This was actually Cheng Su's plan; her household was bustling with activity, and preparing a substantial meal wouldn't be feasible. Anticipating the family’s arrival at noon, a meal at the fast-food establishment seemed most convenient, especially since it was merely a ten-minute walk from the bus station.

The group, hungry from their hours on the bus, readily agreed. Only Mother Qi demurred, stating, "Let’s go to my son’s house first and eat at home; a little waiting won’t hurt!"

Her desire to see her grandson was so strong that hunger was a minor concern!

"Mom, it’s just a short while longer. We don’t know how many guests will call on Taiguo’s home, and they might struggle to accommodate everyone. Space is limited there, and if the meal isn’t well-managed, wouldn’t that be rather embarrassing?" Qi Fenglian inquired with a smile.

"Precisely, let’s eat first; it’s convenient at the shop too!" Father Qi added, casting a knowing glance at his wife, fully aware of her intentions.

"Indeed, in-law, you might be so captivated by the grandson that you forget about eating!" Father Cheng quipped with a hearty chuckle.

Mother Qi’s face flushed slightly. Seeing everyone’s consensus, she had no alternative but to relent, "Since everyone is hungry, let’s eat first and then proceed."

Thus, Qi Fenglian guided the group to the fast-food establishment. While Father Qi and his companions had visited the shop before, Second Aunt and the others were new to it. Upon learning that the establishment belonged to Cheng Su, they couldn't help but express their admiration.

"Oh, this is nothing; the restaurant where tonight’s full moon banquet for my grandson will be held is truly magnificent; that too was opened by Taiguo’s wife," Mother Qi mentioned, seizing a rare chance to boast.

Qi Fengping and Qi Jianguo exchanged amused glances, suppressing silent chuckles.

Second Aunt Qi, familiar with Mother Qi’s character and aware of Cheng Su’s capabilities, knew that with Qi Taiguo holding a high official position, showering Mother Qi with compliments was the expected course of action, practically elevating her to celestial status.

"It’s truly nothing; Jianming also earns a considerable amount," Mother Qi replied demurely, though a sense of pride was evident.

What utter pretense! Qi Fengping silently rolled her eyes!
