Song Tingzhi said he would go find Qi Yu and he really went to ask. It turned out that it was Qi Yu who asked for help. He had let it slip when he and Qi Yu were drinking and chatting before. Qi Yu heard it and thought about finding someone to help.
"You kid...this is not the way you chase someone!" Song Tingzhi didn't know what to say for a moment, and could only silently give Qi Yu a thumbs up.
"I just can't think of a solution! I thought I could help with some small things first, and then meet you seriously when the time is right!" Qi Yu scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
"This method works, but don't do it!" Song Tingzhi reminded.
"Don't worry!" Qi Yu patted his chest and assured.
Seeing him like this, Song Tingzhi didn't say anything more and went back to tell Jiang Cheng about it.
"I knew I was right!" Jiang Cheng was a little excited, "It all depends on what Qi Yu does next!"
Seeing Jiang Cheng so excited, Song Tingzhi went to warm up the milk and feed Doudou.
Jiang Cheng was excited for a while but then he calmed down. Summer was almost over, and Jiang Cheng was still thinking about making a few small coats for Doudou!
After the shop was set up, He Xiaomi asked Song Tingzhi to pick up his father and mother. The family didn't have any land (all of it was mortgaged when He's father was in debt!), so they thought of settling down in the town.
He's father and mother started packing up on the day He Xiaomi left. When Song Tingzhi came to pick her up, the two elders had already packed.
When He's mother saw Song Tingzhi coming to pick them up in such hot weather, she handed Song Tingzhi a sip of the mung bean soup she had prepared in advance to help him cool down.
After taking a few sips, Song Tingzhi helped He's father and mother move things onto the donkey cart. When everything was ready, Song Tingzhi went in and took the things Jiang Cheng asked him to bring when he passed by the house.
Xu Sanniang was happy to know that He's father and mother were leaving. She caught a live chicken from the yard, tied it up and put it on Song Tingzhi's donkey cart as a gift.
He's mother didn't bother to be polite with him. After accepting the chicken, Song Tingzhi drove away.
Song Tingzhi sent the person to the place and went back first. He Xiaomi saw his parents coming, greeted Song Tingzhi, and took his parents in.
He Xiaomi settled the two of them down. Seeing that He Xiaomi had cleaned up the shop so quickly, He's mother kept praising him for his ability.
"Mom, please take a rest!" When He Xiaomi heard her mother say this, she paused and asked her mother to sit down and rest.
"Okay, okay! You must have spent a lot of money to keep your shop so nice!" Mother He asked, worried that there was not enough money at home.
"No, Song Tingzhi hired someone to help! It didn't cost much money!" He Xiaomi said.
"Then you should thank them very much!" He's mother patted He Xiaomi's hand and said.
"Don't worry, Mom!" He Xiaomi assured her mother that she would thank the people she should thank.
Ever since Jiang Cheng said a few days ago that Song Tingzhi hadn't found anyone, He Xiaomi went back and thought about it and guessed what was going on.
He Xiaomi had just arrived, and only Qi Yu knew him. He was also the only one who could get so many people to help him.
He Xiaomi thanked him for his help, so she prepared a thank-you gift and has been busy with this these past few days! Once the carving is finished, He Xiaomi will deliver it to him.
When Jiang Cheng saw Song Tingzhi coming back, he brought him the cold tofu pudding he had prepared.
"Eat something to cool down. This year's weather is much hotter than previous years. It's still so hot even though summer is almost over!" Jiang Cheng complained.
"It's hard to say. Maybe this winter will be much colder. Let's prepare more charcoal this year! And cotton clothes and so on!" Song Tingzhi guessed.
Even if you prepare too much of this stuff, it will still be useful. It's better than being short of something when the time comes!
"Okay!" Jiang Cheng nodded and agreed.
Two days later, Jiang Cheng received the good news that He Xiaomi was about to open her business, and He Xiaomi came over with two invitations.
"Why are there two?" Song Tingzhi asked.
"There's another one for Qi Yu!" Jiang Cheng said with a look of insight on his face, "Xiaomi guessed that Qi Yu had found someone to help him, so he sent an invitation and asked you to pass it on!"
Song Tingzhi nodded, accepted the invitation and will send it over later.
When Qi Yu received the invitation, he was extremely happy and excited!
The next day, He Ji Woodcarving Workshop opened for business. Jiang Cheng brought his children and Song Tingzhi to congratulate He Xiaomi. Originally, He Xiaomi was in the woodcarving business, so Jiang Cheng did not give anything else. He prepared a piggy box for He Xiaomi!
This is the most suitable money box for Jiang Cheng to use in his business, so he prepared one for He Xiaomi as well. He Xiaomi didn't expect Jiang Cheng to be so creative. To be honest, He Xiaomi didn't prepare a money box!
He didn't bother to be polite with Jiang Cheng. He took it neatly and invited Jiang Cheng to go inside.
After a while, Qi Yu came over dressed in fine clothes and a jade belt. He Xiaomi didn't recognize him at first, but only saw him when Qi Yu came closer.
"Congratulations, Mr. He, on your grand opening!" After seeing He Xiaomi, Qi Yu didn't dare to look him in the eye. After bowing slightly, he asked the waiter behind him to put the things he brought into the house.
"Don't be so polite. I haven't thanked you yet for helping me renovate the shop!" He Xiaomi is not the type to beat around the bush. If she has something to say, she will just say it directly.
Qi Yu didn't expect that his true identity would be exposed so quickly. He was stunned for a moment and didn't know what to say.
"Mr. Qi, please go in first and don't stand at the door!" He Xiaomi found Qi Yu's dazed look a little funny.
"Oh oh." Qi Yu responded twice and went in first!
Why is this different from what he thought?!
He Xiaomi didn't have many acquaintances in the town, so when everyone was together, they gathered around the dinner table and had a lively meal.
After dinner, when He Xiaomi saw that most people had left, he took out the fortune-attracting Pi Xiu he had made for Qi Yu, which had taken him several days to carve.
Apart from his wood carving skills, he had nothing else to show for it, so he carved a Pixiu for Qi Yu.
"I don't have anything else to show you. This is a carving I made myself. Please take it! Thank you for helping me to renovate the shop!" He Xiaomi opened the Pixiu and showed it to Qi Yu, then closed the box and handed it to him.
"This... It's my business that I'm willing to help you, and I don't want anything in return from you!" Qi Yu quickly explained for himself, "Actually, you don't have to..." do this.
"Just keep it! If you don't accept it, I'll think you look down on what I make!" He Xiaomi stuffed the box into Qi Yu's hands.
Seeing He Xiaomi say that, Qi Yu put it away and said, "Thank you!"
After collecting the things, Qi Yu secretly glanced at He Xiaomi a few more times, but the two did not dare to meet each other's eyes.
Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was not right, Jiang Cheng quietly pulled Song Tingzhi over to let him see.
He Xiaomi was the first to break the strange atmosphere between the two. The meal was over and it was almost time for everyone to leave. Many people nearby were attracted by He Xiaomi's movements.
He Xiaomi was busy entertaining guests and couldn't entertain Jiang Cheng and the others, so Jiang Cheng went back first. Before leaving, he pulled Qi Yu and asked him to go with him!
