Shen Qiqi's eyes rolled, and the little abacus in her mind started clacking.

She smiled like a kitten that had stolen some fish, with a hint of cunning in her tone, "Lu Qing, I have a bold idea!"

Lu Qing looked at his wife's quirky appearance, and his heart was moved. He immediately agreed with both hands, "Wife, you said, I will accompany you through fire and water!"

Shen Qiqi rolled her eyes at him. This man was really getting better and better at talking.

She cleared her throat and began her "grand plan": "Look, our family is into art now, and paint is a big problem. We have to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. We can't always think about saving money. We have to think about how to get more paint!"

Lu Qing scratched his head, looking confused. "How do I do this? These days, pigments are not easy to come by."

Shen Qiqi smiled mysteriously and pointed her finger in the air. "School! The teachers in our school must have a lot of good stuff. I remember when they had art class, they had too much paint, right? Let's borrow some! It's like making use of waste!"

Lu Qing was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Good boy, my wife is really quick-witted!" His eyes were full of pride, as if to say, "My wife is so awesome!"

As soon as she said it, she went to school excitedly the next day.

She was full of hope and felt like an adventurer on a treasure hunt, but she was also a little nervous because it sounded a little unreliable.

When he found Teacher Zhang, he was correcting homework. Seeing Shen Qiqi's appearance, his face was full of confusion, "Lu family? What are you doing in school?"

Shen Qiqi didn't beat around the bush and directly stated her purpose. "Teacher Zhang, this is what happened. My child has been very interested in painting recently, but they're a little short of paint. I'd like to know if I can borrow some of the school's paint. We'll definitely return it after we use it up. We won't cause you any trouble!"

After hearing this, Teacher Zhang's brows immediately furrowed into a ball, and his tone became a little embarrassed. "This... isn't good, right? The paints in the school are all public, and they are used for teaching students. What if they are borrowed and it affects teaching?" His face was full of embarrassment, as if Shen Qiqi was making things difficult for him, and the atmosphere froze instantly.

Shen Qiqi had long expected that Teacher Zhang would not agree easily, so she immediately turned on her eloquent speech mode and began to persuade, "Teacher Zhang, you see, this child's interest in art cannot be strangled in the cradle! And our use is not in vain. We can replenish the used paint to the school. This will not only satisfy the child's pursuit of art, but also not delay the normal teaching of the school. Isn't this the best of both worlds?" As she spoke, she observed Teacher Zhang's expression and prayed silently in her heart that she would pass the test smoothly this time.

Just as Shen Qiqi was talking non-stop, Teacher Zhang suddenly sighed, shook his head, and said with a complicated expression: "Hey, this matter, I need to think about it carefully..."

Mrs. Lu heard from somewhere that Shen Qiqi went to school to borrow things, and her face instantly became long.

She stood in the yard, her hands on her hips, her eyes wide open, and shouted at the top of her voice: "Qiqi, you are doing useless things all day long. You don't work properly and go to school to borrow things. Isn't this just not doing your job properly?" The dissatisfaction was like a materialized dark cloud, weighing heavily on the entire family. The depressing atmosphere made everyone feel a little breathless.

Lu Qing hurried to his mother's side and explained with a smile: "Mom, Qiqi, this is also for the good of the child. The child is interested in painting, we have to support her, right?" Mrs. Lu snorted, and although she didn't say anything else, there was still displeasure on her face.

At school, Shen Qiqi's eyes sparkled as she said to Teacher Zhang, "Teacher Zhang, I know you're worried about affecting teaching. I can help organize the school's art teaching aids and ensure they're kept in perfect order." Teacher Zhang's eyes flickered with excitement, and after a moment's contemplation, he finally nodded, "Okay, since you're so concerned about the children and willing to make the effort, I'll lend you some of the resources."

A brilliant smile instantly bloomed on Shen Qiqi's face. That smile was like sunshine that dispelled the haze, and a relaxed atmosphere spread throughout the office.

When Lu Qing's son heard the news, he jumped three feet high with joy, his eyes full of anticipation for painting.

Lu Qing looked at Shen Qiqi's excitement, feeling mixed emotions.

Shen Qiqi had already started thinking about how to utilize the resources. Lu Qing stood quietly by the side, watching her busy figure, his eyes full of love and heartache, and murmured softly: "Qiqi..." Shen Qiqi was as happy as a little bird, and returned home with light steps. She described the "results" of the school to Lu Qing with a beaming face.

Lu Qing looked at her sparkling eyes, and a warm feeling surged in his heart. He hugged her in his arms and kissed her on the forehead.

"My Qiqi is so great!" He said in a doting tone, as if he owned the most precious treasure in the world.

Shen Qiqi rubbed against his arms, like a spoiled kitten, and the smile on the corner of her mouth could not be hidden.

The air is filled with a sweet scent, as if even the sunlight has become gentler.

Old Mrs. Lu came out of the house and saw this scene. She couldn't help but curl her lips and muttered, "You are so sticky all day long, what a disgrace! If you have the time, you might as well do more work!" But the complaints in her tone were less sharp than before, as if she was also affected by the warm atmosphere.

The next day, Shen Qiqi took her son to school to move the borrowed "treasure".

My son was so excited that he seemed to be injected with chicken blood. He used his little arms and legs to carry the drawing board that was taller than him. Although it was a bit difficult, his face was filled with a bright smile.
