Chapter 37 Flirting without knowing it
"I…"
"Ouch!"
Before he could finish his words, Mr. Qi suddenly cried out, slapped his thigh, and looked at Xie Yunshu awkwardly.
"Look at my brain. I can't remember anything. You don't like staying at other people's houses for dinner. I'm old and my memory is not good. I forgot everything."
It is well known in Qingyun Village that Xie Yunshu has a withdrawn personality and does not like to interact with outsiders.
Thinking about it, he couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"How could I have forgotten this..."
Xie Yunshu: ...
The words on the tip of my tongue suddenly changed:
"Well, Grandpa Qi is right."
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Qi Man's eyes rolled around, and she sat on the chair, holding the teapot, filling Xie Yunshu's cup, and said softly:
"Grandpa, I was so busy visiting my second aunt this afternoon that I forgot to look for the carpenter. After dinner, my third uncle asked me to go to his house and give me the other half of the money. Otherwise, I will look for the carpenter tomorrow."
After all, she was very busy today and couldn't spare any time.
Xie Yunshu, who had been silent at the side, suddenly spoke up:
"I can do it. What kind does Comrade Qi want?"
Mr. Qi also nodded and agreed:
"Xiao Xie is right. In our village, besides Lao De, Xiao Xie is also an excellent carpenter. He made all the furniture in his house by himself."
I was lucky enough to see it, the style is novel and beautiful.
It's just that Xie Yunshu has an introverted personality and is unwilling to take on carpentry work. As time goes by, people forget that Xie Yunshu can do any carpentry work.
Qi Man's eyes sparkled as she looked at Xie Yunshu with admiration:
"Really? Comrade, you are amazing!"
When he met the little girl's clear eyes, there seemed to be stars twinkling in them, which made Xie Yunshu's old face blush, and the redness on the tips of his ears, which had finally faded away, turned red again as red as blood.
"Um."
Qi Man looked at him with admiration, and even touched him all over, her two soft little hands holding Xie Yunshu's hands.
"Then please help me make a few sets of furniture. I'll give you the blueprints and you can pay me as much as you want."
The man's hands were probably covered with calluses on the palms due to years of hunting, and were somewhat rough and uneven.
Xie Yunshu never expected that the little girl sitting next to him would suddenly hold his hand.
The woman's hands were smooth, tender, white and slender. It would not be an exaggeration to describe them as delicate jade fingers. Qi Man's touch was like a raging sea, constantly hitting his heart as hard as rock.
Perhaps his emotional anchor point is too low, he always takes things calmly and nothing can stir up his emotions.
But after meeting Qi Man, his so-called low emotional anchor point and the idea of being single for life were shattered in an instant.
From the first time he saw Qi Man, he had been fantasizing about having a home with the woman in front of him, having two lovely children, and living an ordinary life.
Old Master Qi was also shocked by his granddaughter's behavior. This girl, she just talked, why did she get physical?
[Host, physical contact was still quite taboo in the 1980s, so please maintain your identity as a good girl! 】
Under the shocked gaze of her grandfather, Qi Man reluctantly let go of Xie Yunshu, who was in a daze, and used her fingers to push the black hair on her forehead behind her ears, and looked at Xie Yunshu shyly:
"Comrade, I'm really sorry, I got a little excited, so..."
As she spoke, she blushed again, pretending to be shy.
Although he appears shy, he actually uses mental power to communicate with the system.
"San San, has Manman's acting become more sophisticated?"
[The host is the best!] 】
Qi Man blushed with shyness.
"fine."
Xie Yunshu spoke in a light tone and withdrew his hand stiffly. He looked calm on the surface, but his heart was in turmoil. It seemed that there was still some residual warmth from the little girl in his hand, which made him nostalgic and obsessed.
"Please wait a moment, I'll go to the room to get the drawings!" Qi Man stood up and walked towards the room.
Looking at his granddaughter's cheerful back, Mr. Qi took a sip of tea and said with a cheerful smile:
"Xiao Xie, don't take it to heart. Manman grew up abroad. I heard that people there are much more open than here, so she may have acted inappropriately. If you feel uncomfortable, I, as her grandfather, apologize to you on Manman's behalf!"
Grandpa Qi couldn't bear to blame his granddaughter, so he just cleaned up for Manman behind her back. The most important thing was that Manman was happy.
All in all, his good granddaughter was absolutely right!
Xie Yunshu pursed his lips, his tone still calm: "It's okay, Comrade Qi... is fine!"
Seeing that Xie Yunshu didn't care, Mr. Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Qi Man entered the room and asked San San for some furniture design drawings of this era. Then she took a box of chocolates and a box of donkey-hide gelatin, walked out of the room, and handed the drawings to Xie Yunshu, saying in a soft and obedient tone:
"Comrade, do you think these sets of furniture can be made?"
Xie Yunshu took it, scanned it roughly, nodded and said, "Okay!"
The workmanship is simple, but the patterns that need to be carved are a bit complicated, but these can be handled.
Qi Man's eyes lit up, she clapped her hands, and looked at Xie Yunshu with a smile.
"There are three styles in total, one for my room, one for grandpa, and the other for my brother."
After all, my cheap brother will be back in a few days, so I might as well beat him up once and for all to avoid bothering him a second time.
"good!"
Xie Yunshu agreed without hesitation.
Qi Man was delighted and stuffed the chocolate and donkey-hide gelatin in her hand into Xie Yunshu's arms.
"This is a thank you gift for you. The donkey-hide gelatin is for my aunt. It can replenish qi and blood, and it is good for the human body!"
The plot roughly describes Xie Yunshu's family. Xie's mother was in poor health when she was young. In addition, the material conditions were scarce in that era, so her health was always poor, she was skinny, and she would not live long.
Xie Yunshu looked at the exquisite packaging and subconsciously wanted to decline, but Qi Man's playful voice rang in his ears:
"Comrade, if you don't accept it, I'll ask someone else to buy this set of furniture."
Xie Yunshu: ...
I had no choice but to put the two boxes of things into the bamboo basket.
Seeing Xie Yunshu accept the gift, Qi Man showed a bright smile on her face. She didn't like owing favors to others.
Xie Yunshu took a look at the sky, stood up, took out another pheasant from the bamboo basket, and placed it on the table.
This time it was alive, only its feathers were clipped.
"Pheasant is a great tonic, I'm giving this to Grandpa Qi."
Afraid that Qi Man would refuse, Xie Yunshu changed his words.
Grandpa Qi glanced at his granddaughter and said with a smile, "Xiao Xie, the pheasant you sent this morning hasn't been cooked yet. What are you and your mother going to eat with this one? You should take this chicken back to your mother."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Yunshu went out with the backpack on his back.
Looking at the boy who didn't even turn his head, Mr. Qi shook his head: "This child, he looks cold but his heart is warm. How can God be so unfair to such a good child?"
When Qi Man heard about this, she looked at Mr. Qi with sparkling eyes:
"Grandpa, does this comrade have any more stories?"
