Cheng Su stayed at the shop for almost ten days. Once she saw that everyone had gotten the hang of things, and although business wasn't exactly booming there were still transactions every day, she freed up her hands and left the shop in Qi Jianguo and the others' care, while she got in touch with Qi Taiguo, planning to go visit.
As for Qi Taiguo, he missed his wife and son so badly it was unbearable. Considering that Qi Xiaoqi was too young and that taking a boat off the island and such would be inconvenient, he negotiated two days of leave from the army. They agreed to meet in Zhu City on Qi Xiaoqi's lunar birthday, the seventh day of the seventh month, with him coming off the island to see them.
