The days went on steadily, and business was good after He Xiaomi's wood carving shop opened. At the beginning, He Xiaomi only carved large items, but few people bought them.
There was one time when Jiang Cheng saw someone selling wooden hairpins on the street. Jiang Cheng thought the craftsmanship and patterns were not very good, but then he remembered that He Xiaomi's craftsmanship was also very good, so he thought of mentioning it to him when he came back.
When He Xiaomi heard this, she thought it was feasible. Wooden hairpins require little effort and can be made in many different ways, so she gave it a try. This time, she found that she was on the right track!
The hairpins sold well, so He Xiaomi started carving small accessories like wooden bracelets. They were not expensive and could be worn for fun, so many people were happy to buy them. He Xiaomi and his father were too busy to handle it, so his father picked up an apprentice to do the job!
Only then did he manage to open the shop. Although it was busy, He Xiaomi was happy with it!
He Xiaomi is busy, and some people are unhappy!
Jiang Cheng has welcomed an uninvited guest!
"Brother!" Qi Yu came to visit after dinner.
"Why are you here?" Jiang Cheng knew who was coming when he heard the voice, so he didn't go out to greet them.
Now Doudou has started to crawl, Jiang Cheng asked Song Tingzhi to clear a space on the ground and put a cushion on the ground for Doudou to play.
Jiang Cheng is now in the house accompanying Doudou when he has nothing to do. Fang Xi will occasionally bring Hu Wa over to play with the two children together!
"I just came out for a walk because I had nothing to do at home!" Qi Yu brought a set of tumblers for Doudou and put things in them for him to play with.
"If you want to hang out, you shouldn't hang out here. Why didn't you go to Xiaomi's place?"
Now that they are familiar with each other, Jiang Cheng no longer beats around the bush with Qi Yu.
Since the two of them met officially on the day He Xiaomi's shop opened, Jiang Cheng talked to He Xiaomi and found out that he had no major objections to Qi Yu. He then went back and told Qi Yu about it. Qi Yu was so happy when he heard it.
Jiang Cheng told him to try harder, maybe He Xiaomi would agree one day!
Qi Yu nodded after hearing this. From then on, he would go to He Xiaomi's place whenever he had nothing to do, and help out. At first, He Xiaomi thought he was wasting time and didn't let him come, but Qi Yu didn't listen. He Xiaomi got used to it after doing this for a while!
Besides, Qi Yu also gained favor with He's mother. Now when He's mother sees him, she smiles so much! It's like she's looking at her future son-in-law!
"Now that the shop is doing well, Xiaomi is even busier! How can he care about me?" Qi Yu complained in a low voice while sitting on the stool.
The wood carving shop was doing good business, and He Xiaomi was busy all day long. Qi Yu hadn't spoken to her for several days, so she came to Jiang Cheng.
"You are too impatient! It's only been a few days and Xiaomi is busy with the shop! You can wait until his shop is on track and not so busy. It won't be too late for you to go then!" Jiang Cheng wiped Doudou's mouth and suggested.
"I'm not afraid... afraid..." Qi Yu stammered and said embarrassedly.
"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that Xiaomi will like someone else?" Jiang Cheng said casually, then turned to look at Qi Yu's expression and unexpectedly guessed it right, "You really are... I don't know what to say to you! You two haven't even started dating yet and you're already thinking so much!"
Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes in annoyance, carried Doudou out and ignored Qi Yu.
Qi Yu stayed in the room alone, thinking hard. After sitting there for a while, he went to He Xiaomi's place.
When Song Tingzhi came back, Jiang Cheng told him about this. Song Tingzhi also felt that Qi Yu was too anxious, but they just talked about it alone in the room.
"Yes, Xiaoyu's tenth birthday is coming soon. What gift should we prepare for him?" Jiang Cheng calculated the date and saw that Song Yu's birthday was coming soon. Jiang Cheng didn't know what to give him!
"Let's go to the town some other day!" Song Tingzhi retorted while hugging Doudou.
"You are such a jerk. You don't even care about your own brother's birthday!" Jiang Cheng hit him, washed up, and went to bed.
Song Tingzhi was not angry after being told off. He kissed Doudou, washed up, and went to bed.
Song Tingzhi placed Doudou between the two of them and looked at Jiang Cheng through Doudou.
"Why are you always looking at me?" Jiang Cheng was lying down peacefully, but he felt a pair of eyes staring at him. He asked directly without opening his eyes.
"I just feel lucky to marry such a handsome and kind-hearted husband!" Song Tingzhi flattered.
"Enough! You're still saying these things after you've given birth to a child!" Jiang Cheng's face turned slightly red, and she turned her back to Song Tingzhi.
"Doudou, look, daddy is shy!" Song Tingzhi said softly while holding Doudou's hand.
Doudou hummed twice, then started playing with Song Tingzhi.
Jiang Cheng listened to the movements of the father and son behind him but didn't want to look back, so he covered himself with the quilt and went to sleep.
Seeing that Jiang Cheng had fallen asleep, Song Tingzhi also coaxed Doudou to sleep.
…
Jiang Cheng picked out a dress for Song Yu and another for Zhang Jinyou. He had a premonition that Song Yu might bring Zhang Jinyou back to meet Xu Sanniang on his birthday!
