"Hey, wait for me!" Shen Qiqi suddenly stopped, her eyes fixed on an inconspicuous stall on the corner of the street...
Lu Qing looked at Shen Qiqi distressedly. She was really worried about the artistic atmosphere at home.
He gently put his arm around Shen Qiqi's shoulders and whispered softly in her ear, "Qiqi, thank you for your hard work." A warm current surged into Shen Qiqi's heart. She looked up at Lu Qing, her eyes moving and the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the two of them, giving them a layer of golden light. A warm atmosphere flowed between them, so sweet that it was intoxicating.
Boss Li stood aside, looking at the affectionate couple in front of him, feeling uncomfortable all over, as if he had eaten a fly.
He coughed dryly, trying to break the awkward atmosphere, "Comrades, is there anything else you need?"
Shen Qiqi retracted her gaze and turned to look at Boss Li. With a turn of her eyes, a bold idea emerged in her mind.
"Boss, I suddenly had an idea." She smiled mysteriously, with a hint of cunning in her tone.
"Oh? What's the idea?" Boss Li asked curiously, with a puzzled look on his face.
"I can exchange my handicrafts with you for some art supplies. What do you think?" Shen Qiqi put forward her proposal with a hint of temptation in her tone.
Boss Li was stunned. He didn't expect Shen Qiqi to make such a request.
He looked Shen Qiqi up and down, as if he was meeting her for the first time.
Handmade products?
Who still cares about handmade products these days?
He couldn't help but wonder what this little girl was up to.
Lu Qing was also a little surprised. He didn't expect Shen Qiqi to suddenly come up with such an idea.
He looked at Shen Qiqi,
Shen Qiqi took out several small and exquisite puppets from the cloth bag she carried with her. These puppets were of different shapes and lifelike, and each one was full of childlike fun and vitality.
"This is a puppet I made, what do you think of it?" Shen Qiqi handed the puppet to Boss Li with a hint of pride in her tone.
Boss Li took the doll and looked at it carefully.
He originally thought it was some crudely made thing, but he didn't expect it to be so exquisite, with fine workmanship and close stitching, and every detail was handled just right.
He couldn't help but feel a little surprised. This little girl's hands are really skillful!
"These dolls..." Boss Li hesitated as he wanted to speak, his eyes moving back and forth between the dolls and Shen Qiqi.
Shen Qiqi noticed Boss Li's hesitation and smiled slightly, "Boss, I know these dolls may not be worth much, but I made them all by myself and put a lot of effort into them. If you think it's okay, we can discuss the exchange ratio."
Boss Li pondered for a moment, his eyes once again falling on the colorful paints, and he began to think...
"Well..."
Boss Li's eyes rolled around like abacus beads, and his mind was calculating with the abacus clicking.
Although handmade products are not valuable these days, the puppets made by this little girl are indeed exquisite and may be able to be sold at a good price.
His eyes rolled, and a plan came to mind. "Okay, I think your little gadget is quite interesting. Let's trade! A puppet for... for..." He deliberately dragged out the words, pretending to be in deep thought, but in fact, he was already very happy. "Trade for a beginner's painting set!"
When Shen Qiqi heard this, she was secretly delighted. This was a huge profit!
Although a basic painting set is not as good as those high-end products, it is enough for her.
"Deal!" She agreed readily, as if she was afraid that Boss Li would go back on his word.
The two of them completed the transaction happily. Shen Qiqi exchanged a few dolls for a large pile of art supplies. She felt very happy and felt like she had picked up a great bargain.
She excitedly stuffed her loot into the shopping bag, her eyes narrowed into slits with a smile.
Seeing Shen Qiqi's happy smile, Lu Qing also breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he didn't understand art, he knew that Shen Qiqi had made a lot of efforts to create an artistic atmosphere at home.
He rubbed Shen Qiqi's hair lovingly, "Qiqi, you are awesome!"
Shen Qiqi raised her chin proudly, "Of course! Don't you see who I am?"
The two walked out of the art shop, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, as if giving them a layer of golden light.
"Let's go home!" Shen Qiqi shouted excitedly, her steps as light as a happy little bird.
Lu Qing looked at Shen Qiqi's lively figure, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly unconsciously.
He knew that in the days to come, the house would be even more lively and interesting.
However, back at the Lu family, looking at those brand new art supplies, Mrs. Lu's face was as gloomy as the sky before a storm...
"Qiqi, what are you doing..."
