Chapter 70 A friend comes from afar
"Ok?"

Qi Le's mind was unable to wrap around the idea for a moment.

"Didn't my brother buy this?" Qi Le looked at the fish in his hand, then looked at Xu Fang, as if waiting for Xu Fang to nod and say "yes".

But Xu Fang finally shook her head and said, "Your Uncle Ji bought it. Say thank you now."

"Then my brother..."

Compared to the love and warmth sent by the Ji family, Qi Le was more looking forward to Qi Ziyan bringing her something back, even if it was not her favorite fish.

"Your brother is injured." Xu Fang patted Qi Le's shoulder, "Thank you Uncle Ji and then leave. He hasn't eaten yet, so we won't bother him any more."

Qi Le looked at Qi Ziyan's swollen face and felt it was a bit ironic.

The Ji family went out to eat and settle something, and Qi Ziyan insisted on going with them. In the end, all the Ji family members came back safe and sound, except Qi Ziyan who looked disheveled.

Qi Le was a little angry. Qi Ziyan was afraid every day that someone at home would do something wrong and embarrass him, but he had ever thought that face is something that you earn for yourself.

Qi Le's brief silence made Ji Yunfan a little unhappy.

"Yes, yes, we bought it at home. Eating fish is good for the brain. You should all eat more." Ji Yunfan rolled his eyes at Qi Ziyan and whispered, "Especially let Qi Ziyan eat more. Hurry up and replenish your body."

Qi Ziyan seemed to have keenly caught Ji Yunfan's voice. He wanted to say something else, but fortunately Liang Sheng appeared in time and stopped him.

"What are you doing? Mr. Ji packed up some delicious food, why didn't you call me? Are you two families going to eat alone?"

Liang Sheng's appearance seemed to liven up the atmosphere. Qi Le, who had been feeling awkward just now, also smiled. He accepted Ji Huaiyu's fish with peace of mind and solemnly said, "Thank you, Uncle Ji."

As she calmed down, she also completely lost hope in Qi Ziyan.

"You're welcome." Ji Huaiyu smiled, "Director Liang didn't eat anything just now? Why don't you eat something too?"

Liang Sheng laughed twice, "No, no, I'm here to give you a task today, and it just so happens that you're all here."

"Mission? What mission?" Ji Yunfan picked up a book from the sofa and turned to the page with the bookmark.

The camera in the live broadcast room clearly captured that it was a copy of "Gu Wen Guan Zhi".

"This task is actually quite open. The name of the task is 'Friends from Afar', and the content is that each of your families is asked to invite one to three friends to visit your home tomorrow."

Liang Sheng smiled and said, "After all, this is a family live broadcast. It's reasonable to have a guest at home.

"So far, our program has been going on for three days, and we haven't assigned any tasks to the guests. This is already very lenient for you, so everyone must complete this task well."

After listening to Liang Sheng's introduction, both families nodded solemnly.

Several people from the Qi family went back to eat, and the Ji family gathered together to discuss whose friends to invite tomorrow.

"Yunfan has a lot of friends." Ji Huaiyu put the food on the table, "How about inviting Yunfan's friends tomorrow?"

Ji Yunfan was curled up on the sofa reading a book. Hearing this, he shook his head solemnly, "Forget it. They are all preparing for the exam and getting the certificate. They don't have time to care about me."

After that, he suddenly sat up, pointed at the book and asked, "Sister Xing, how do you translate "有死无二"? I don't understand it."

“Yin Yisheng versus Qin Bo?” Ji Chenxing said the source directly without even reading the original text, and praised Ji Yunfan, “Not bad, you learn quickly.

"The 'you' here should not be translated as 'you' as in 'you don't have', but should be translated as 'although', meaning that there is no second thought even after death."

Ji Yunfan connected the knowledge he had learned together and understood it in an instant. He gave Ji Chenxing a thumbs up and said, "Great." Ji Huaiyu looked at Ji Yunfan, who was concentrating on learning, and smiled like a father.

"If we can't invite Yunfan's friends, then we won't invite my friends either. They are all business tycoons and we can't invite them at all," said Ji Huaiyu.

It would be a lie to say that he couldn't invite anyone. After all, with Ji Huaiyu's status in the business circle, who would dare not come if he wanted to invite someone?
But precisely because of this, Ji Huaiyu had some Zou Jixiu mentality, thinking that there was no need to invite these people over and add burden to himself and the program team.

Ji Huaiyu said and looked at Ji Xueqing, "Xueqing, where are your friends?"

Ji Xueqing quickly waved her hands, "Dad, they are in school, they are busy."

She didn't dare say that since her identity as a fake rich daughter was exposed, four-fifths of her friends had been lost, and she didn't dare to contact the remaining one-fifth.

"Okay." Ji Huaiyu automatically skipped Ji Chenxing and said, "What about Yaya? Yaya seems to have a friend here, right?"

Wen Ya raised her head and thought for a while before she realized, "It seems like there really is one. Shangguan has been staying indoors for years and seems to have settled down in this county. I'll call her later and she'll definitely come over."

At the Qi family, at the dining table, several people in the family were discussing who to invite.

Unlike the Ji family's dilemma, Xu Fang gave a clear direction when discussing this issue at the beginning.

"How about this? Zi Yan and Le Le's grandparents live in this county. Why not ask them to come over? I haven't seen them for a long time, so I can take this opportunity to have a good chat."

Qi Shan had rarely been to this county town and didn't have many acquaintances here, so he nodded and said, "Okay, Lele has been busy with his studies recently and hasn't been to his grandparents' house for a long time."

Qi Le was eating fish and didn't say anything, just nodded to show his agreement.

"What about Zi Yan? Does Zi Yan have any opinions?"

After Xu Fang spoke, the three of them turned their eyes to Qi Ziyan.

At the beginning, the four members of their family went on this family live broadcast just for Qi Ziyan, so in this program, Qi Ziyan's decisions are often the final word.

Qi Ziyan frowned, very dissatisfied with Xu Fang's proposal.

"I don't think it's a good idea. My grandparents are old, so we shouldn't bother them. After all, it's quite far from their village to here."

Transportation is very convenient now. Although it is far, you can still reach the program crew’s villa within two hours by taking a taxi from the village.

Xu Fang thought so, looked at Qi Ziyan's face, and didn't dare to say it. After all, it was a live broadcast, if she said something wrong, it would bring some negative impact to Qi Ziyan.

"But if we don't invite grandpa and grandma, who should we invite?" Qi Le finished the last bite of noodles and put down his bowl and chopsticks. "It seems that there is no one we know around here, right?"

These words seemed to pierce Qi Ziyan's heart. Qi Ziyan turned his face to an angle where the camera couldn't see it and glared at Qi Le fiercely, signaling her not to talk nonsense.

But this time, Qi Le did not lower his head silently like before. Instead, he met Qi Ziyan's gaze and glared back.

For fear of being seen by the audience in the live broadcast room, Qi Ziyan did not continue to glare at Qi Le, but settled the matter with just one sentence.

"Grandpa and grandma are not in good health, so let's not bother them. Besides, our family doesn't have much money right now. Even if we invite them over, the travel fare will be a huge sum, and we definitely won't be able to entertain them well."

Qi Ziyan's words made sense.

"I have a friend nearby. I will invite him over tomorrow. You don't have to worry about it."
