"Shi Ran, do you have something to show grandpa?"
Grandpa didn't refuse when her little hand pulled him away.
"Well, grandpa will definitely like it after seeing it."
"What?"
"It's something Grandpa would like."
"What?"
Shi Ran tilted her head to look at her grandfather, thought for a moment, and shook her head, "I can't tell you, this is a surprise."
Grandpa lowered his head and chuckled.
An old man who hardly smiled a few times a year, because of Shi Ran's arrival, he almost laughed out all his smiles for the year in just a few days.
I finally understand what intergenerational affection means, especially when it comes to a sweet-mouthed and funny little granddaughter.
Shi Ran pulled his grandfather into the living room, where there was something covered with a cloth on the table.
She picked up the cloth and placed the statue, which was wiped clean without a speck of dust, on the table.
"This is……"
Grandpa stared at the statue in a daze.
The statue was already lifelike, and with the addition of color, it looks almost exactly like the photo, as if it were alive.
"This is a gift from Shi Ran to grandpa."
"Shi Ran, did you prepare this statue?"
"Um."
Grandpa looked at Shi Ran, stretched out his hand, and touched the statue carefully, as if he was afraid of breaking it or getting dust on it, so he didn't dare to touch it.
"This... is exactly like your grandmother when she was young. It's exactly the same."
"My father gave me a photo and chose the best photo of my grandmother, so Shi Ran asked a friend to make it into a statue using the photo he chose."
Grandpa carefully reached out and touched the corner of the carved grandmother's eyes.
Although the feeling would soon tremble, the cold touch on his hand made a bitter smile appear on the corner of his grandfather's mouth.
Shi Ran leaned on the table and asked, "Grandpa, do you like this gift from Shi Ran?"
"I like it very much." Grandpa looked at Shi Ran and put away the smile on his face. "You always need to get something in return when giving a gift. Tell me, give this to me, what do you want?"
"Shi Ran doesn't want anything. She has never seen her grandmother since she came here, so she wants to carve out her grandmother's appearance and give it to her grandfather. She hopes that her grandfather will be happy. Grandpa, are you happy to receive this gift?"
"happy."
"As long as grandpa is happy, that's all. If grandpa is happy, Shi Ran will also feel happy. Shi Ran doesn't want any gifts, she just wants grandpa to be happy."
There are indeed multiple layers of meaning in making this statue, but she did not lie.
Homework is one thing, and wanting to give a gift is another.
Of course there is a third one.
Grandpa knew about the homework; after all, he was the one who would ultimately judge it. He might have felt she was taking shortcuts, but at least he was happy. Perhaps it also left a particularly good impression on him, making it much easier for him to do anything else.
What's more, it's just homework. If I don't do well this time, there will be next time. I'll just have to get a few points from grandpa first.
"Shi Ran!"
Grandpa seemed to want to understand Shi Ran's heart and looked at Shi Ran straight.
But Shi Ran will not fall down just like that.
Now she has the mind of a 20-year-old and the appearance of a 10-year-old.
Shi Ran faced his grandfather with a more innocent face.
"Even so, you can't receive such a good gift for nothing. If you want something, just tell me, and Grandpa will do his best to give it to you."
"What do you want?"
"What do you want?"
Shi Ran pretended to think for a moment before speaking.
"Grandpa, I have a friend who makes sculptures like this, but he's still an apprentice. I hope you can encourage him and help him when he feels lost. This is what he carved. He's really amazing and will definitely become a famous sculptor. Grandpa, he will definitely be of help to our Shi family, okay?"
"Is that all?"
"Um."
"Grandpa promises you. But you gave me such a precious gift, how could I just promise you this? Grandpa will also give you a gift."
Shi Ran smiled and hugged his grandfather's legs.
"Thank you, Grandpa. You are indeed the best grandpa in the world."
"Hahaha……"
Grandpa's hearty laughter echoed in the hall.
Shi Ran also smiled.
I hope this can help him, and I hope he can keep his original intention and do what he likes.
In the future, you will definitely achieve something.
She believes it.
The school day has arrived.
Shi Ran arrived at the classroom early, walked into the classroom, and looked at the children's faces one by one.
The twins' expressions were as gloomy as usual until they saw Shi Ran running over.
Shi Yan seemed very nervous for some reason.
Shi Guang looked up at him, then looked at the comic book in his hand.
Class starts.
"Let's take a look at the results of the assignment."
Sure enough, he started by checking the homework.
"The two of us used the money to buy the bracelets."
The twins raised their hands and shook the bracelets on their wrists.
"Very good, where's Shi Yan?"
“No.”
He said this expressionlessly and arrogantly threw two stacks of money on the table.
"What about time?"
Before Shi Guang could say anything, Shi Yan spoke up, "We are brothers, and he didn't do the same."
Sure enough, time is Shi Yan's lackey.
"The last one is Shi Ran." Everyone looked at Shi Ran, and the teacher asked, "What did you get in return?"
Shi Ran put her hand on the necklace around her neck and said, "I used the money my teacher gave me to make a sculpture for my grandfather. He was very happy. He also gave me this necklace. He said it's from the S.D brand and worth tens of thousands."
S and D are high-end brands, and the minimum price of a necklace is 10,000.
The value is there. The necklaces of this brand are of high quality in both workmanship and materials, and the advertising is good, so they are indeed worth the price.
“You cheated!”
Shi Yan stood up and shouted in disbelief.
Shi Ran answered calmly, "Didn't the teacher say to buy something with 1,000 yuan and then exchange it? I used 1,000 yuan to buy a sculpture and exchanged it with Grandpa for this necklace. Grandpa thought it was worth it. Don't you think so? Are you questioning Grandpa?"
After saying this, Shi Ran smiled and leaned back in his chair, enjoying the leisure of a winner.
It was destined that she would win this time.
Be confident.
"Impossible!" Shi Yan still didn't believe it. "You're just a little bastard. How could your grandfather give you such precious jewelry? You must have stolen it. I didn't expect you to do such a despicable thing just to win."
Hearing the words "little bastard" again, Shi Ran gritted his teeth.
Apart from these three words, Shi Yan couldn't seem to find any words to scold her.
Shi Ran turned slowly and looked at Shi Yan.
"Do you need to ask Grandpa in person? By the way, repeat what you just said in front of Grandpa."
As soon as she finished speaking, the door was pushed open. She turned around and saw her grandfather standing at the door.
