"Uncle, I can't eat cream cake. It will make me sick."
Pei Tianci was afraid that Pei Hanchuan would be unhappy, so he still had a smile on his fair face, but his eyes revealed sadness and regret, and he carefully moved away from the beautiful cream cake.
Pei Hanchuan felt distressed when he saw the little boy like this.
He is so young, yet so sensible.
The last time Pei Tianci ate cream cake was on his birthday last year. The person who bought the cake was Pei Hanchuan again, who wanted his three-year-old nephew to have a taste of the fresh and fashionable cream cake.
The sweet and soft cream conquered Pei Tianci's taste buds at once.
Children have never been able to resist sweets. Pei Tianci not only ate happily, but also had a big appetite. The child, who could only eat a small bowl of rice in the past, ate two big pieces of cream cakes in a row and finished all the cream and cake base.
At that time, both Pei Hanchuan and Pei Mingzhu were very happy. After all, it was a good thing for children to eat a lot, and it was rare for Pei Tianci to have something he liked.
But……
That night, Pei Tianci started vomiting in the middle of the night and continued to vomit from the first half of the night to the second half of the night. He vomited out everything he had eaten at the birthday party, including the cream cake.
In the end, he vomited until there was nothing left to vomit, but he couldn't stop. All that came out was bile. His little face was pale and he was so weak that he couldn't even speak clearly. He could only curl up in Pei Mingzhu's arms, leaning against her pitifully.
He is just a poor little thing.
Pei Mingzhu didn't shed a tear when she got divorced, but when she saw Pei Tianci in pain and she was powerless to do anything, she couldn't help but tear up.
Pei Tianci stretched out his hand tremblingly, gently touched Pei Mingzhu's eyes, and said softly, "Mom, don't cry... I will never eat... I will never eat cream cake again..."
This incident left a deep mark in Pei Tianci's little heart.
So no matter how much he liked cream cake, he would never clamor to eat it. Even though Pei Hanchuan had already put the cream cake in front of him, he still shook his head obediently to refuse.
It is this thoughtfulness and understanding that makes people feel the most sad and distressed.
Considering Pei Tianci's age and his status as the only heir of the Pei family for nine generations, even if he turned the sky upside down, Pei Hanchuan would support him and no one would really blame him.
But this child, on the other hand, felt sorry for everyone. He didn't want to make Pei Hanchuan unhappy, nor did he want to make Pei Mingzhu worry, so he would rather give up his childish nature and not eat a bite of the cream cake.
While Pei Tianci was speaking, Pei Mingzhu on the other side of the study looked up from the account and looked at Pei Tianci who was being held by Pei Hanchuan.
Pei Hanchuan looked up and exchanged glances with Pei Mingzhu beside him.
He said loudly, "My Tianci is different now. He hasn't been sick for almost a month. Have you forgotten that your uncle has been exercising with you every day recently? Have you not coughed for a long time?"
This story starts from when Pei Hanchuan got the "prescription" from Chu Yue. From then on, Pei Hanchuan really put it into practice, changed his lazy style of the past, got up early every day, and accompanied Pei Tianci to practice the Eight Section Brocade and Five Animal Exercises on the "prescription".
It just looks like slow movements, similar to Tai Chi, and there is no immediate effect.
But time passed by unknowingly, and in the blink of an eye it was already the Lantern Festival, and almost a month had passed.
Looking back, I suddenly realized that although Pei Tianci did not gain weight in this month, he did not get sick again. He did not even have a cold or fever when the weather was cold. He has been weak but very healthy.
When Pei Hanchuan mentioned this to her, Pei Mingzhu frowned and thought about it, and found that it was true.
Is this the effect of strengthening the body?
Is that notebook with the picture of a little man really that amazing?
Pei Mingzhu fell into deep thought, and at the same time became more curious about the person who gave this "prescription".
Pei Hanchuan observed Pei Mingzhu's expression, and when he saw that Pei Mingzhu did not speak to stop him, he immediately spoke even louder.
"Tianci, you are in better shape and you don't get sick anymore. So it's okay to eat some cream cake. Uncle knows you like it very much. Let's eat a little bit to taste it. It's a reward for your persistence in exercising for so many days. How about it?"
Pei Tianci's dark eyes were shining inch by inch.
He was obviously moved, but he was still struggling inside.
Pei Tianci turned his head and looked at Pei Mingzhu beside him. Without saying anything, his pitiful eyes seemed to be asking, "Mom, can I eat?"
If Pei Mingzhu disagrees, Pei Tianci will refuse without hesitation and will definitely not eat an extra bite.
Pei Hanchuan also looked at Pei Mingzhu and helped to speak, "Sister, I spent two days and two nights without sleep to carry this cake all the way back. Can you bear not to let Tianci have a bite?"
One is my biological brother and the other is my biological son.
Pei Mingzhu finally compromised when she saw their similar faces, and said helplessly, "Tianci, you can only eat a small piece."
Pei Tianci said excitedly, "Okay, thank you mom!"
"Sister, I know you won't let Tianci down. Tianci, uncle is going to cut the cake for you. Do you want one with small flowers or without?"
"I want little flowers."
"Okay, uncle will cut some flowers for you, how about this one?"
"That one is too big, this one is small, I want this one—"
Pei Mingzhu listened to their childish conversation, raised the corners of her mouth silently, opened the drawer of the desk, and took out a simple notebook.
It was the one Chu Yue gave me.
She couldn't help but look through them again, her expression focused and serious. These little people pictures... are they really that amazing?
…
The other side.
Chu Yue was still chatting with the master craftsman in front of the shop being renovated, but the topic had shifted from cream cake to other things.
She asked, "Master, I see that you are such a good carpenter and the cabinets you made are so beautiful. Can you recommend a carpenter who is as skilled as you?"
"What's the matter, little girl? Are your family members going to build a cabinet? Are they preparing to stock up on dowry when you get married?" The old master guessed based on Chu Yue's age.
Chu Yue shook her head. "No, look over there - the shop that's taking down its sign is mine. Many things in the shop are old, so I'll repair what can be repaired and rebuild what can't. So I want to find a capable craftsman."
The old master looked in the direction Chu Yue pointed and saw that the sign of "Lao Zhou Tailor Shop" had been taken down.
The shop was being sublet. The old master saw Hongzhi a few days ago. He didn’t expect that someone would really take it over, and it was such a young girl. It really shows that you can’t judge a person by his appearance.
In order to decorate the store inside and out, it is necessary to add a few new cabinets and shelves, which together will bring a considerable income.
This is a job that comes right to your doorstep!
The old master immediately said to Chu Yue, "You don't need to look for someone else. I'll finish the work here in the next few days. I'll go back to your place and bring my apprentice with me. I promise to get it done for you within ten days."
Chu Yue had expected this to happen from the beginning. Introducing a master was just an excuse, so she was not surprised at all.
She said to the master, "Master, my shop is right there. Come over and we can discuss the quantity and price."
"Okay! Little aunt... no, the boss! You, the boss, just do it! I'll be there right away." The old master said cheerfully, looking particularly energetic.
