Grandma Gu came over with honey water, but didn't see Gu Chixin and muttered softly:
"This second brat ran away again."
Shi Qi took the honey water and took a sip. The sweetness of the honey dissolved in the warm water and soothed his throat.
"Grandma, did you know that I opened a clothing store in the military dependents' compound?"
Grandpa Gu told Grandma Gu about this when he came back, and when Shi Qi mentioned it, she had a general idea of it.
"I heard the old man mention it when he came back, saying that your shop can sell clothes, draw clothes, and make clothes.
At that time, the old man came back and praised you many times.
He even scolded the young man, saying that he didn't know how to appreciate his blessings and dared to bully you behind our backs.
At this point, grandma got anxious and grabbed Shi Qi's hand, her face full of apology:
"Qi girl, grandma knows you are a good girl. If the eldest son does anything wrong, just tell me and his grandfather directly.
We will teach him a lesson and ensure that you don’t suffer any injustice.”
Grandma Gu and Grandpa Gu have been married for decades and they have always had a good relationship.
She can't stand men who treat their wives badly. If her eldest grandson hides it from them and neglects his grandson's wife, she will be the first one to not forgive him.
The last time I heard from my old man, she was about to write a letter to scold her eldest grandson.
Now that Shi Qi had returned, she took the opportunity to let her eldest grandson's wife know that the family still supported her.
Never swallow the injustice you suffer.
Looking at Grandma Gu's gray hair, Shi Qi suppressed the heat in his eyes and responded with a smile:
"Grandma, Gu Chijin treats me very well, don't worry."
Blinking away the tears, Shiqi changed the subject:
"Grandma, I just want to tell you about Chi Xin.
You know, in my store, I mostly design clothes for customers.
I just saw the manuscripts of Chi Xinhua, they are quite beautiful.
If possible, I hope Chixin can help me design the manuscript in the future."
Grandma Gu was stunned when she heard this. Her second grandson was born special and couldn't get along with others.
If his eldest granddaughter-in-law asks him for help, will he be able to do it?
Seeing Grandma Gu's surprise, Shi Qi continued:
"Chi Xin is different from other children, but he doesn't have any intellectual problems. On the contrary, he is too smart, which makes him feel out of tune with everything around him.
Now, I see that he has great talent in design. If you and your parents agree, you can let him try it with me first."
Grandma Gu hesitated:
"Isn't it going to cause you any trouble?
Besides, your store is so far away from our hometown.
Wouldn't it delay things if we went back and forth?"
“No, if you really want, I will communicate with the customer.
Although the mail is slow to arrive, with only a few customers now and then, I can still afford the wait."
Shi Qi had already made plans. In the first few times, she would place the orders herself. After the adjustment period, she would actually let Gu Chixin serve the customers.
"Okay. As long as the second kid is willing, his parents and I have no objection." Grandma Gu sighed:
"Even with our protection, the second kid has been looked down upon a lot since he was a child.
For him, having nothing to look forward to in life, it's good to have something he enjoys doing."
After all, she was old. The autumn sun was shining brightly on her head. Grandma Gu pulled Shi Qi to sit on the chair in the courtyard and talked a lot.
There are stories of her and Grandpa Gu’s heroic deeds when they were young, as well as complaints about Gu’s father and mother being away all year round, and even more regrets about the family rarely seeing each other throughout the year.
From big things like family and country to small things like the embarrassing things that Gu Chijin and Gu Chixin did when they were young.
The smile on the old lady's face was like the orange sunset, warm but belated.
Shi Qi felt a pang of sadness in his heart, and he listened patiently with a look of deep nostalgia on his face.
Looking at the lines of time on Grandma Gu's face, Shi Qi couldn't help but think that if she had a relative in modern times, they would definitely be like Grandma Gu.
Willing to share the past with her and tell her interesting things around her.
pity……
Shi Qi didn't stay at the Gu family for a few days. He was worried about Gu Chijin and thought that there was a time bomb next to him. Shi Qi waited until Grandpa Gu felt better and then took the bus back.
Before leaving, Shi Qi took out the gifts he had prepared for Grandma Gu and Mother Gu.
But she didn't say anything beforehand.
When Grandma Gu and her two grandchildren stood by the road to see her off, Shi Qi sat in the car and told her with a smile:
"Grandma, I put the gift for you under your pillow. Remember to pick it up later."
After Shiqi's car left, Grandma Gu ran back to the house and felt under the pillow.
The two big gold bracelets were so bright that they almost dazzled her eyes.
Grandpa Gu came in and took a deep breath:
"Where did you get two such huge gold bracelets? Did Tokisu-chan give them to you?"
Grandma Gu's hands were shaking as she held the gold bracelet. She looked at her old man and trembled her lips:
"It must be. That girl Qiqi must have been afraid that we wouldn't want her, so she hid her here on purpose."
After being shocked, Grandpa Gu looked at the two gold bracelets in silence for a long while.
Finally, he waved his hands helplessly:
"Forget it, just keep it for now. It's such an expensive thing, just leave it alone for now.
Wait until the eldest son comes back after the New Year and ask him first."
Grandma Gu thought the same thing. She wrapped the two big gold bracelets in a clean red cloth and locked them in the cabinet. She confirmed again and again that the lock was in good condition before she felt relieved.
When Shi Qi returned home these days, Ruan Qingwan had returned to the state she was in a few years ago.
Although it wasn’t as exaggerated as waking up every night, I still didn’t sleep well.
I woke up in the middle of the night in a sweat, feeling that Shi Qi's return was just a dream. When I woke up, my daughter was gone again.
Li Yuanliang saw it and felt very distressed.
I got up in the middle of the night and coaxed her several times, and finally persuaded her to go back to sleep for a while.
