"Hey, the second kid is out?"
When Grandma Gu saw Gu Chixin coming to the courtyard, she smiled at Shiqi in surprise and said:
"Granddaughter-in-law, you don't know, after my second son came back from the military compound with his grandfather, he locked himself in his room every day to write and draw.
One time I asked him to go out for dinner, and when I took a look, I found that the boy was drawing clothes.
It’s a beautiful painting.”
Grandma Gu didn't know the connection between Shi Qi and Gu Chixin, she just thought he started painting on a whim.
Now, in front of his grandson's wife, he praised his little grandson to his heart's content.
Gu Chijin's ears turned red after hearing this, his long black eyelashes flickered, and he looked at Shi Qi with hesitation and caution.
Meeting Shi Qi's gentle and kind gaze, Gu Chijin's face flushed and he whispered:
"sister in law."
"Well, Chi Xin, come here. Sister-in-law brought you a small gift."
Looking at the young man who had grown taller, the smile on Shi Qi's lips was like the spring sun.
Shi Qi took out the bracelet he had bought earlier from his bag, called Gu Chixin over, pulled out his arm, and gently put it on him.
Gu Chixin didn't like having skin contact with others. When Shi Qi's warm fingertips touched his skin, he subconsciously dodged.
"See if you like it."
Grandma Gu sat on a reclining chair and looked at Shi Qi with confusion as she put a black wooden bead bracelet on Gu Chixin.
"Granddaughter-in-law, these wooden beads are so beautifully black. They must have cost a lot of money, right?"
Grandma Gu was afraid that Shi Qi would spend money, so she looked at it for a few seconds and then turned the string of wooden beads over and over again.
Shi Qi raised the corner of his mouth slightly and pulled Grandma Gu over to sit back on the chair.
“Grandma, these are just small things, not worth much.
By the way, grandma, I brought some things for you and mom when I came back this time.
But I was in a hurry when I got off the car just now and didn’t take it. I’ll get it for you later.
Please pass on my mother's copy to me."
Grandma Gu waved her hands repeatedly, and the kind wrinkles on her face showed heartache:
“No matter how much it costs, I don’t want it.
Second kid’s mom doesn’t need it either.”
Shi Qi persuaded her with a smile, and took her arm affectionately and shook it:
"How can this be possible? Once you buy something, you can't return it.
Grandma, do you want me to do it? I don’t know what to do.”
Shi Qi rocked Grandma Gu so hard that two more wrinkles appeared at the corners of her eyes. She couldn't stop laughing:
"We'll just accept it this time, but next time you come back, don't buy anything. Do you understand?"
Gu Chijin and Shi Qi don’t have any children yet, and Grandma Gu is still hoping that the young couple will save some money and have a baby soon.
Shi Qi smiled and nodded, then turned to let Gu Chixin come over and sit down.
Gu Chixin sat down on the empty chair, and the manuscript in his hand was wrinkled by him.
Noticing Shi Qi looking at him, Gu Chixin shyly handed over the design draft in his hand.
"Sister-in-law. Agreement."
Shi Qi was stunned at first, then looked at the stack of white manuscripts in his hand.
"Second boy, go play somewhere else for a while. Your sister-in-law just came back and hasn't had time to rest yet. She'll look at your beautiful clothes later."
Thinking that Shi Qi had walked into the house without even drinking a sip of water, Grandma Gu grunted and stood up.
"I remembered there's some honey in the kitchen. Wait, granddaughter-in-law, I'll make you a glass of water to soothe your throat."
Watching Grandma Gu rushing out, Shi Qi couldn't help laughing. Grandma Gu was her favorite person in the family.
He is a kind-hearted person and does things efficiently.
That spirit is a joy to watch.
Turning around and taking the manuscript from Gu Chixin's hand, Shi Qi asked him to sit down and read it carefully.
Gu Chixin refused to sit down and stood aside, looking at Shi Qi with a nervous expression on his face.
He is innocent and naive, just like a child asking for candy.
I would be happy for the whole day just because of a word of affirmation from Shiqi.
After Shi Qi finished reading the manuscript, his eyes lit up with surprise, and he looked at Gu Chixin as if he was looking at a treasure.
If it weren't for Gu Chixin's personality flaws and his inconvenience in meeting strangers, Shi Qi really wanted to pack him up and bring him back to Beijing to open a high-end design store with him.
His manuscripts have a strong personal style and are full of spirit. Whether it is men's or women's, they are all easily achieved.
For a child who has not received systematic training and has no one to explain to him, being able to draw works like this would definitely be called a genius in modern times.
"Chi Xin, do you like drawing clothes?"
Shi Qi was full of patience, holding the manuscript and quietly asking the boy beside him.
Shi Qi now has a new idea. Since Gu Chixin has this talent, why doesn't she be his guide and lead him into the design industry.
Becoming a solitary fashion designer who dislikes strangers is definitely better than hiding in the Gu family and being supported by others all your life.
The meaning of life is to blossom, not to waste time and squander life.
If she could, she wanted to save the boy.
Not only because he is Gu Chijin's younger brother, but also because of the desire for art in the boy's eyes.
Gu Chixin didn’t understand what Shi Qi meant, but he was as clean as a blank sheet of paper and would not lie.
Nodding stiffly, Gu Chixin nodded slowly but firmly:
“Like, like, like, drawing, drawing.”
The boy's eyes were clear and sincere, and his face was innocent. Shi Qi was so touched by his cute appearance that he couldn't help but stand up and rub the top of his head.
"Then can you always help your sister-in-law draw in the future?
If you help me draw a picture, I will give you three yuan as a drawing fee."
When the boy heard that he could make money, his eyes lit up, but he suddenly thought of something and the light in his eyes went out.
"Sister-in-law is a relative and cannot ask for money."
Shi Qi raised the drawing in his hand and tilted his head to look at the boy.
"OK.
If my sister-in-law says it’s okay, then it’s okay.
In the future, when you paint, you will not be helping your sister-in-law, but helping people in need.
You draw clothes for them and they pay you. It's a fair deal, so naturally you have to charge them.
Don’t you think so?
Gu Chixin tilted his head, not quite understanding what Shi Qi meant, but looking at the gentle smile on Shi Qi's face, he felt that she would not hurt him.
"Listen, listen to my sister-in-law."
With his drooping eyelashes hiding the excitement in his eyes, Gu Chixin turned around and went back into the house.
Shi Qi knew that he was not used to staying with him for a long time, so he didn't stop him. He watched the boy's thin back walk across the courtyard and back to the house.
