Holding his collar, Shi Qi stood up and ran into the house.
I didn't notice it just now, but my chest was soaked by the water dripping from my hair. Gu Chijin was so close to her that even if she was wearing a bra, he would definitely see everything.
After locking the door and finding another set of pajamas to change into, Shi Qi's expression gradually returned to normal.
Shiqi's clothing store was booming on the first day of its opening. Neighbors who had shops nearby saw it and came over the next day to make their acquaintance.
To show their welcome, most people picked out a few pairs of socks in her store.
Shi Qi knew that the clothes in his store were expensive and it was difficult for them to afford them, so he didn't complain about others buying less.
Even if it was just a pair of socks, she would provide good service, putting it in a delicate little pocket and handing it to them.
After a while, all the neighbors knew that the owner of the newly opened clothing store was very kind-hearted and beautiful.
In the first half month after opening, Shi Qi was so busy every day that he had to take the last bus home.
I am busy shopping, designing drawings, and greeting customers in the city every day. When I get home, I am so tired that I don’t even want to eat dinner, let alone cook.
Shi Qi hadn't expected the store to be so busy right after opening.
But as she watched her small treasury grow richer and richer, she felt that her life was becoming more and more hopeful.
When she rented a storefront, bought a sewing machine, decorated the shop, and purchased goods, she had more than a hundred yuan in her hand, which she spent like water.
By the opening day, she had only about 40 yuan left.
Fortunately, the opening day was a good omen. After deducting the cost, the net profit for the day was more than 20 yuan, which was particularly encouraging.
If she continues at this pace, she will be able to return more than a hundred yuan to Gu Chijin in less than half a year.
It’s better to rely on the money you earn yourself and spend it with confidence.
Shi Qi occasionally counted his small treasury, determined to make money.
In the past half month, Gu Chijin saw her efforts and felt distressed, and even had the urge to let her close the store.
But on second thought, designing clothes was Shi Qi's dream, and she could never bring herself to say Gu Chijin's words asking her not to do it.
We promised to support her and find a way to keep her dream going no matter what.
During this period, Gu Chijin took on the task of making dinner so that Shi Qi could go home and rest.
Occasionally, when Grandpa Gu has nothing to do at home, he will cook a meal or two.
This made Shi Qi feel very embarrassed.
There are two young people at home, and the elderly have to work hard to cook for them. Shi Qi thought that after this period of recovery, she should go home early.
Since they lived together, it wouldn't be good to let Gu Chijin and Grandpa Gu cook dinner every day while she ate ready-made food.
She still had to help.
Grandpa Gu stayed in the military family compound for more than twenty days and missed home very much. One night, Shi Qi came back with Gu Chi Jin and told them that he and Chi Xin would go back to their hometown the next day.
After spending nearly a month together, Shi Qi liked this old man who always protected him, and he also cared a lot about the simple and smart Gu Chixin.
When I suddenly heard that they were going back, I felt really reluctant to let them go.
Moreover, after spending some time together, Gu Chixin's attitude towards her became much better.
Occasionally she would say something, and Gu Chixin would respond slowly.
Although he was not nice to Grandpa Gu and Gu Chijin, Shi Qi was already satisfied.
She had always felt guilty towards this child, so she had been making clothes for him and buying him food during this period, which was a way of making up for the original owner's debt to him.
On the day Grandpa Gu and Gu Chixin returned home, Shi Qi forced fifty yuan into their pockets.
Grandpa Gu turned his head and refused to accept it, and Shi Qi had to persuade him to accept it.
She and Gu Chijin said that this money was a gift to their family so that their grandfather could go back and buy some delicious food for their parents and grandmother.
The grandchildren and their daughter-in-law were so filial that Grandpa Gu had to take the money no matter how reluctant he was.
After sending the two to the bus station, before they got on the bus, Gu Chixin stood there, hesitating for a long time, slowly took out a stack of papers from his bag, and slowly handed it to Shi Qi.
Shi Qi was stunned at first, but when she took it and looked at it, she found that what Gu Chixin gave her were all clothing design drafts.
The tender lines, when put together, made her eyes light up.
"Chi Xin, did you draw all these?"
Holding the design draft in his hand, Shi Qi looked at Gu Chixin in surprise.
The last time her design draft was modified, she knew it was done by Gu Chixin, and she also knew that he was smart.
But when he actually saw the design draft he drew independently, Shi Qi was still very surprised.
Gu Chijin was also surprised when he saw the manuscript his younger brother took out. He had never realized that his younger brother, who didn't like to talk, was so good at painting.
Grandpa Gu didn't react much. He was with the boy every day and was used to him writing and drawing.
Compared to the second kid staying in the room all day and doing nothing, he would rather see his grandson find something to do.
Faced with the shocked expressions of his brother and sister-in-law, Gu Chixin didn't react at all. He just nodded to Gu Chijin and went to pull Grandpa Gu's sleeve.
The car arrived at the station, and Grandpa Gu said hello and prepared to leave. Shi Qi thought about it and called the grandfather and grandson to stop. He walked in front of Gu Chixin, with a smile on his face:
"Chi Xin, can you do my sister-in-law a favor?"
Gu Chixin didn't say anything, but stared at her with his big dark eyes, as if waiting for her to continue.
Shi Qi didn't care when he didn't answer. He bent down slightly and looked directly into his eyes.
“When you go home, can you help your sister-in-law draw more manuscripts like this?
Don't worry, sister-in-law will give you money.
You can use all this money to buy candied haws."
Seeing that he didn't seem to understand, Shi Qi took out ten yuan from his pocket and handed it to him, patting his head:
"Let's go back with Grandpa. When you get home, remember to report that you are safe."
"My dear son, while we're not here, you have to take good care of your wife. If you dare to behave like before, don't blame me for spanking you with my shoe when we get home."
Before getting on the car, Grandpa Gu loudly lectured Gu Chijin. In front of Shi Qi, Gu Chijin's face was stiff and he nodded uncomfortably:
"Got it, Grandpa. Get in the car now."
Grandpa Gu snorted, turned around and got into the car. Gu Chixin, holding ten yuan in his hand, slowly followed him.
Knowing that it was a farewell, Gu Chixin stood at the boarding gate, looking at Gu Chijin reluctantly.
Looking at his brother's silly and cute look, Gu Chijin strode forward and patted his thin shoulders:
"After Chi Xin returns home, don't stay indoors every day. Go out for a walk with your parents occasionally. Got it?"
Gu Chixin knew what his elder brother was talking about, but he didn't want to.
Slowly shaking his head, Gu Chixin looked at his elder brother:
"Too many people, I don't like it."
He spoke every word with emphasis, expressing his resistance.
Gu Chijin sighed secretly and did not force him:
“Okay, whatever you like.
After the New Year, I will bring my sister-in-law back to see you."
After seeing off Grandpa Gu and Gu Chixin, Shi Qi and Gu Chijin split up into two groups.
One went back to the army, and the other went to open the store.
As soon as he arrived at the store and opened the door, Shiqi walked into the store.
Just as he was about to put up some new merchandise, a slovenly man squatting on the street rushed in with two quick steps, tightly grasped Shi Qi's arm, bared his five sparse yellow teeth, and said in a disgusting tone:
"Sister, why didn't you tell me that you made a fortune in the city?"
