For the next three or four days, Zhou Qiqi devoted herself entirely to the design of the new series.
It's normal to experience chest pain after such a major surgery.
But her mental excitement and creative passion took over, making her almost oblivious to her discomfort.
Zhouzhou is indeed talented in painting, full of inspiration.
Zhou Qiqi described her thoughts and their general outline.
This little guy can hold a pencil and sketch on paper in a pretty decent way.
Although it's certainly not as professional as Zhou Qiqi's paintings, it captures the spirit of the subject exceptionally well.
This time, Zhou Qiqi continued with the ink painting style theme.
However, in terms of cut and style, it takes a completely different approach from the ink-wash style coats of winter.
The coat last time leaned more towards traditional Chinese aesthetics, emphasizing elegance and poise, giving off the feel of a traditional lady from a prominent family.
But this time, Zhou Qiqi wanted to be bold and unconventional.
She broke with convention by using asymmetrical and staggered designs.
They even blurred the lines between trousers and skirts, creating clever mix-and-match looks that emphasized an unrestrained, free, and casual aesthetic.
These clothes can be layered to create a variety of looks.
It can also be worn alone to highlight a simple and neat look.
It allows for free combination, creating different styles such as laid-back, sophisticated, or artistic.
She hopes that women of all personalities and body types, whether they have flowing long hair or a neat short haircut, will be able to express their love and respect.
Everyone can find their own way of expression in this series, no longer bound by traditional aesthetic frameworks.
You can wear whatever you like.
Moreover, they don't feel strange when worn, and each has its own unique style.
She also specially designed several sets of parent-child and best friend outfits so that mothers and children, as well as good friends, can wear them together.
Spring clothing offers a wider range of material choices compared to winter clothing, including cotton, linen, and lightweight knitwear, and the dyeing process is relatively simple.
Therefore, Zhou Qiqi also went all out in terms of color scheme, using black, white and gray as the main tones.
Boldly embellished the space with more low-saturation, yet vibrant colors, such as misty blue, light bud green, and pale cherry blossom pink.
This adds a touch of springtime romance and vitality to the entire collection, which is already flowing and graceful.
In less than a week, the aunt and niece worked together to create dozens of eye-catching design sketches.
Finally, Zhou Qiqi carefully selected more than a dozen of the most representative ones as the main new products for spring.
She gave the series a fitting and touching name—the Ink Splendor [Self-Enjoyment] series.
Fortunately, Zhou Qiqi's injury did not damage her internal organs. In addition, she is young and has a good foundation thanks to the supervision and training she received from Shen Huaichuan, so she recovered quite quickly.
After staying at the military hospital for more than a week, the doctor said I could be discharged and go home to recuperate.
Counting the days, there's only one week left before the garment factory's annual holiday.
With time on the line and a heavy workload, Zhou Qiqi will be extremely busy once she is discharged from the hospital, and she certainly won't be able to take care of her family.
On the day of discharge, Deng Cuixiang and Zhu Yingying helped pack their things and carried the bags downstairs to the jeep. Zhou Qiqi asked them to look after Zhouzhou while they were there.
She left Shen's parents and Shen Huaichuan alone in the ward.
Looking at her parents-in-law, Zhou Qiqi took a deep breath and decided to say what she had been holding in her heart for a long time.
She didn't want any misunderstandings or unresolved issues to cause this hard-won family to separate again.
"Dad, Mom,"
She looked at the two elders of the Shen family and asked softly:
"This time... could you please not go back to the old house? Just stay here and live with us, okay?"
The two elders of the Shen family exchanged a glance, looked at Zhou Qiqi with complicated expressions, and then secretly glanced at their silent son, Shen Huaichuan, who was standing to the side.
In the past, they would have hesitated and declined due to various concerns.
But having gone through this life-or-death ordeal, they no longer wanted to keep their true feelings to themselves.
Qin Peilan glanced deeply at Shen Huaichuan, sighed, and said:
"Silly child, actually, we, your wife and I, never really wanted to leave in the first place..."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Qiqi raised an eyebrow in surprise:
"Oh? That can't be right, Mom?"
She turned to look at Shen Huaichuan.
“I remember Huaichuan told me before that among your three sons, he is the one you dislike the least. In the past, when he came home for the New Year, he would only stay for two days before Dad would urge him to leave. This time was the same. He started packing his luggage after only a few days, clearly showing that he didn’t want to stay any longer.”
Shen Huaichuan was surprised that his wife had so bluntly revealed their private conversation, and his face immediately flushed.
She lowered her head awkwardly, pretending to tidy up the things she had already packed, her ears turning slightly red.
"They don't like Huaichuan?!"
Upon hearing this, the elderly couple immediately shook their heads vigorously, denying it in unison.
Qin Peilan hurriedly explained, "Absolutely not!"
The elderly couple vehemently denied it, but then Shen Huaichuan added in a low, muffled voice:
"It's always my dad who speaks first, urging me to go back to the army sooner..."
Now, Zhou Qiqi and Qin Peilan's eyes were both focused on Shen Zhenbang.
Zhou Qiqi pressed, "Dad, why...did you do that?"
The old man felt uncomfortable under their gaze. He subconsciously raised his hand to scratch his sparse hair, opened his mouth, and mumbled a few words, but couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.
