When the eldest grandson and his wife came back suddenly, Grandpa Gu felt that there were no good dishes at home, so he insisted on going to the street to buy some.
The Gu family was not far from the city, and Gu Chijin was afraid that he would be tired if he went alone, so he went with him.
Shi Qi stayed at home with Grandma Gu to cook, chatting and laughing as they worked in the kitchen.
Seeing that Shi Qi was efficient, Grandma Gu liked her from the bottom of her heart.
Thinking of the gold bracelet she had left beside her pillow when she left last time, Grandma Gu complained:
“Speaking of which, you are as stubborn as the eldest son. Last time you left, you quietly left such valuable things at home.
Your grandfather and I were almost scared to death."
Shi Qi knew that Grandma Gu was talking about the gold bracelet, so he smiled while cutting potatoes:
"That's just a little gift from me, grandma, just keep it."
"What kind of gift requires gold? Listen to grandma, I will return the bracelet to you later, and you should keep it well.
When I have children in the future, I will save it for them."
Shiqi laughed:
"What's the point of saving this? Gu Chijin and I are still young.
We can make a lot of money in the future, so if you want a gold bracelet, we can just buy it for you.
Besides, Gu Chijin gave me all the heirlooms.
It's no big deal for me to give you a bracelet as a gift.
If you don't want it, I'll feel bad."
Seeing Shi Qi being so sensible, Grandma Gu softened her heart. After picking the vegetables, she scolded him with a smile:
“You silly child.
In our Gu family, our eldest son is the only one who can carry on the family line.
It is only natural that I give you the family heirloom.
No matter what you say, whether you feel sorry or not.
Don’t say that anymore.”
Shiqi readily accepted the advice and replied with a smile:
"Listen to grandma. As long as grandma doesn't return the bracelet to me, I will never mention the heirloom again."
Blinking at Grandma Gu, the old and the young smiled at the same time.
After shredding the potatoes, Shiqi picked up the washed pork and cut it into thin slices.
With her head lowered, two strands of hair fell from her ears, making her look more beautiful than a flower.
Looking at her beautiful granddaughter-in-law, Grandma Gu felt as happy as if she had drunk honey water, and she worked with more energy than usual.
After cutting the pork, Shi Qi tilted his head and glanced into the courtyard.
Seeing Gu Chixin sitting in the yard writing and drawing, the corners of his mouth curled up:
"It feels like Chixin is much more lively now than before."
Grandma Gu added firewood a little slowly, then looked outside and became even happier:
"Yes, to be honest, it's all thanks to you.
If it weren't for you, asking the second kid to draw this draft, he would have stayed in his room all day without taking a step.
You don’t know that when the second kid is happy, he will step out of the yard and walk around the house.
In the past, he would rather sit in his room and twist his fingers than go out.
His grandfather told me several times that it was all thanks to you that the second boy has made such progress.
Shi Qi didn't dare to take credit for it. He took out a few eggs from the cupboard, beat them in a bowl and set them aside while talking to Grandma Gu:
"Chi Xin is really smart, I was just a pusher.
I just took a look at his new design draft, and it's improved a lot. If he continues like this, he can easily run a clothing store on his own."
Grandma Gu, who was only praising Gu Chixin at the time, replied with a smile:
“Forget about the clothing store, you know the situation of the second kid.
With his appearance, he can only talk to a few family members, and he won't pay any attention to strangers, let alone do business with them."
Shi Qi had a different idea:
“I’m not kidding.
There is no problem for Chi Xin to design clothes. We can open a small shop and hire employees to serve customers.
The employees wrote down the customers' needs and then slowly told Chi Xin about them, asking him to draw the design and make the garments.
That will definitely work.”
Seeing that Shi Qi was serious, Grandma Gu hesitated for a moment:
"Will this work?"
Not wanting to see such a good seedling like Gu Chixin buried for his whole life, Shi Qi nodded vigorously and said crisply:
"Of course.
Grandma, do you still remember my clothing store in Beijing?
You don’t know that the clothes that Chi Xin designs for customers are very popular.
If Gu Chijin and I hadn’t returned to the military family compound and closed the store.
Those customers still want Chi Xin to make clothes for them.
If you ask me, since Chi Xin has this skill, we should let him try it independently.
At first, we helped him and then withdrew after he got used to it.
In this way, if it succeeds, that's the best. Even if it doesn't, no one will suffer any loss."
Grandma Gu was moved by Shi Qi's words and was obviously moved:
"Your plan is good, but I don't know if the second kid can adapt to it."
Shi Qi's eyebrows curved into crescents:
“You’ll know once you try it.
I'll arrange this matter later when I have time.
You and Grandpa don’t have to worry about anything.”
Seeing how much she cares about the second boy, it would be a lie for Grandma Gu to say she wasn't moved.
After a little consideration, he agreed to Shi Qi:
"Okay, I'll trouble you to take care of the two boys.
I'll tell his parents when they come back.
If the second kid could really earn his own living, our family would have nothing to worry about."
Gu Chi's new life problems have always been a concern for the two elders of the Gu family. If Shi Qi can really make him independent, everyone in the Gu family will be grateful to her.
They don't ask Gu Chixin to become rich and powerful, they just hope that he can earn enough to feed himself and not be a burden to the eldest son's family after all the elders of the Gu family die. They will be satisfied then.
Shi Qi spoke:
