Zhou Qin was also shocked, but luckily he had just swallowed a mouthful of rice so he didn't spit out the rice like Lin Kai did.
He skillfully took out a tissue from his pocket and handed it to Lin Kai, and said in shock:
"So amazing, he won a big award just two months after changing jobs, he's really a rare talent!"
Chu Qi modestly said: "Thanks to my mentor for helping me complete this work, otherwise it would be difficult for me to succeed on my own."
Lin Kai wiped his mouth, bit the chicken leg and tore off a big bite, praising while eating:
"You have the help of your mentor because you are very capable. Otherwise, how could you win the gold medal? Stop being so modest, you great talent."
Chu Qi calmly accepted all the flattery and said that he would treat his brothers out for a good meal at the weekend.
She doesn't have many friends, and these two are the only brothers she can name.
Although this friendship was her inheritance from the original owner, she also planned to maintain it well.
During the creation period, Chu Qi was so busy that she often had no time to eat, so these two good brothers always brought her meals.
Just for the sake of the friendship of bringing the meal, Chu Qi would definitely treat him to a good meal.
Three days later, Chu Qi went to the award ceremony and successfully won a trophy. The prize money was also transferred into her bank card.
Chu Qi couldn't think of any use for the trophy, so she locked it in a cabinet to collect dust.
Chu Qi told her family the good news on the day she received the bonus.
Chu's father was waving a hoe in the field when he saw his wife answering the phone with a big grin on her face, laughing foolishly at the air.
"Are you possessed?"
Father Chu waved his hand in front of the old woman, his brows furrowed into a lump, and he wondered in his heart, how could one be possessed by evil spirits while standing under the scorching sun?
"Our eldest son has made great progress," Mother Chu looked around like a thief. Well, there were not many people in this field, so she felt relieved and turned her voice back to normal volume:
"The boss just called me and told me that he participated in a competition some time ago and won 30,000 yuan!"
"What! Thirty thousand yuan!" Father Chu was stunned.
He couldn't save up 30,000 yuan even if he worked hard in the fields for three years.
And my eldest son got 30,000 yuan all at once?
"What kind of competition is this, with so many prizes?"
Father Chu asked doubtfully.
"Who cares? We just need to know that our eldest son has a promising future." Mother Chu said happily, "Others have to take money from their families to go to college, but not only do we not take money, we also earn money for the family. If we tell others about it, the gossipy women in the next village will envy us to death."
Father Chu, however, had a different view. Seeing the old woman's happy expression, Father Chu did not express his concerns.
After finishing the morning work, Chu's father called Chu Qi without telling his family.
Chu Qi was in the bathroom and answered the phone: "Hello, Dad."
Father Chu leaned against the wall, speaking in a low voice, as if discussing some secret:
"Boss, how do you feel about the pressure of studying recently? Can you concentrate on studying?"
Chu Qi: "It's OK, I can learn it, what's wrong?"
"Haven't you been working hard to make money recently?" Chu's father said, "Your mother and I are still able to move, so making money to support ourselves is not a problem. Don't push yourself too hard. Studying hard is the most important thing right now."
Chu Qi listened quietly. In fact, she had already learned about the professional knowledge of design in her previous life.
Relearning now is just a review, picking up knowledge that I didn’t remember clearly after a long time.
Learning is difficult, but it is not difficult to pick up the knowledge that has been memorized.
The knowledge seemed to be covered by a layer of dust from time. Chu Qi only needed to gently brush away the dust with her hand to recall it.
The reason why I still stay in school and attend classes seriously is more to get my graduation diploma.
Therefore, the study problems that Chu's father was worried about did not exist at all for Chu Qi.
Chu Qi assured: "Don't worry, Dad, I won't let making money affect my studies. The teacher praised me for being a good student. I'm working so hard to make money, isn't it just to raise my children?
"My child needs money for milk powder. If I don't work harder, how can I be worthy of Zhang Ruan for giving up her studies to marry me?"
When Chu's father heard Chu Qi say that it would not interfere with her studies, he felt relieved, his brows relaxed, and he said happily:
"I'm glad you have a sense of responsibility. Study hard outside and don't worry about your family. Your mother and I will take care of your daughter-in-law."
"I feel most relieved to have you taking care of Zhang Ruan. When the baby is born, I will need mom and dad to work harder to help take care of him."
Chu Qi's tone was full of trust, which made Chu's father even happier.
She changed the subject and talked about something else. "I'm not worried about Zhang Ruan. I'm still worried about my younger brother. His grades are so bad.
"I made a study plan for my younger brother and wanted Zhang Ruan to help supervise its implementation, but she is getting further and further along in the pregnancy and is close to giving birth so she doesn't have that much energy.
"Dad, you and mom will take care of my little brother's study plan, okay?"
Chu Qi had deliberately given the study plan to Zhang Ruan to make, in order to prevent the responsible girl from feeling guilty for having nothing to do.
Giving her this painless task can also allow Zhang Ruan to get closer to Chu Qi's family, and at the same time it can encourage her younger brother to study and improve, killing two birds with one stone.
It’s just that Zhang Ruan is approaching her due date and is expected to give birth next month.
Chu Qi was afraid that Zhang Ruan would get angry while tutoring the child, so she discussed with her and decided to give the task to the parents.
Only after obtaining Zhang Ruan's consent did Chu Qi plan to tell her parents.
The younger son's study was also very important. As soon as Chu Qi opened his mouth, Chu's father immediately agreed:
"If you have any problems in the future, just let me and your mother come. I'll supervise Xiaoze's studies!"
.....
"What are you whispering about Dad?"
Chu's mother broke open an orange and ate it.
Zhang Ruan sat on the recliner with a soft cushion behind her waist to make her more comfortable.
"You must be talking to someone on the phone." She took a sip of warm water and couldn't help but put her hand gently on her belly.
Inside, a life is growing.
Her child.
The closer it got to her due date, the more nervous she became. She tried hard to relax, but she couldn't get rid of the nervousness.
Mother Chu handed the three peeled orange slices to Zhang Ruan, "Really? You even went out specially to make a phone call. Is there something that's holding us back?"
"What's the matter? Don't think too much."
Zhang Ruan comforted.
Mother Chu watched her daughter-in-law eat the orange without changing her expression, so she ate a slice as well. As soon as she bit into it, she frowned because of the sour taste.
"Hiss, it's so sour!"
“It’s quite sour, but I think it tastes good.”
Zhang Ruan ate another clove. Mother Chu nodded and simply peeled the rest and handed it to her daughter-in-law:
"If it tastes good, eat more."
"Thank you, Mom."
Zhang Ruan smiled.
......
More than half a month later, Zhang Ruan was admitted to the hospital one or two days ahead of her due date.
Chu Qi felt that she had to accompany her wife while she gave birth, so she asked her tutor for three days off to go home.
Three days off on weekdays plus two days off on weekends, a total of five days. Not counting the travel time, she has four days to spend with her family.
