As soon as Lin Qinghuan returned to the city, she washed up, changed into jeans, put on a red turtleneck sweater, and wore the beige fur coat that her grandfather had bought for her. She then carried gifts to visit the Wei family.
Grandma Wei and her mother smiled brightly when they saw Lin Qinghuan arrive with gifts.
Holding Lin Qinghuan's hand, Wei's mother said kindly, "Qinghuan, when did you get back?"
Lin Qinghuan smiled gently, "I came back this morning. I haven't seen Grandma and Auntie for a long time, and I missed them terribly. I changed into clean clothes and came to see you."
Grandma Wei and her mother smiled even more broadly after hearing Lin Qinghuan's words.
"Qinghuan, it's so kind of you to still remember us!" Grandma Wei said with satisfaction.
Lin Qinghuan smiled. Grandma Wei and her mother had always been very kind to her and never looked down on her. Even if she didn't date Wei Xiao, she was still willing to treat them as elders.
Lin Qinghuan didn't see Wei Xiao and asked, "Where's Wei Xiao? Isn't he home?"
“Ah Xiao came back to have New Year’s Eve dinner with us and then left. He has never come back since,” Mother Wei said with a frown.
Lin Qinghuan frowned slightly. "Wei Xiao is so busy with work that he doesn't even spend the New Year with you."
Mother Wei patted Lin Qinghuan's hand and sighed softly, "Qinghuan, Xiao is a soldier. He's either training or on a mission, so he can't be with you often. You need to be prepared for that."
"Grandma, I know what you're saying, and I'm prepared. I'm just a little worried about Wei Xiao's safety. I haven't seen him in a long time, and I miss him," Lin Qinghuan said.
Grandma Wei and Wei's mother looked worried; they missed and were also concerned about Wei Xiao.
Seeing the worried looks on Grandma Wei and her mother's faces, Lin Qinghuan quickly changed the subject and said with a smile, "Auntie, Grandma, see if you like the gifts I prepared for you."
As Lin Qinghuan spoke, she took out the openwork silver-gray wool shawl she had crocheted for Grandma Wei and handed it to her. Grandma Wei took the shawl with delight, picked it up and looked at it. She found the design novel and the pattern beautiful. Her face showed surprise. "Qinghuan, is this shawl crocheted? Did you buy it or did you crochet it yourself?"
"Grandma, I crocheted this in my spare time. Try it on and see if you like it."
Lin Qinghuan helped Grandma Wei put on a shawl as she spoke.
Wei's mother looked Wei's grandmother up and down and said softly, "Mom, the shawl Qinghuan made is really beautiful. You look so elegant and several years younger."
Grandma Wei gently stroked the shawl on her body. It felt nice to the touch, and she liked it very much. She said with a smile, "Qingqing Huan's hands are so skillful. The pattern she crocheted is very beautiful, and the style is also nice."
"Grandma, you flatter me, but I'm happy that you like it," Lin Qinghuan said.
Lin Qinghuan then took out the wine-red cheongsam she had made for Wei's mother. "Auntie, take a look, do you like it?"
Mother Wei opened the cheongsam, revealing a wine-red garment that looked retro, simple, and elegant. A look of surprise crossed her face as she exclaimed, "Qinghuan, this cheongsam looks beautiful! Was it custom-made?"
"I learned to make it myself. Do you like it, Auntie?" Lin Qinghuan asked with a smile.
"I love it, I love it!" Mother Wei said with a beaming smile.
She never expected that Lin Qinghuan could also cut clothes; she was truly a skillful and clever girl.
"I'm glad you like it, Auntie."
Lin Qinghuan has no other hobbies besides medicine. In her spare time, she learns to make clothes from her grandmother. Her skills are decent. When she's browsing videos on Douyin (TikTok), there are all kinds of clothes. If she finds a style she likes, she'll try to make one herself when the mood strikes.
Mother Wei held the cheongsam up to herself again and again before finally putting it away.
"Qinghuan, your aunt hasn't seen you in a long time. You should spend some time with her today and have a good chat before you go back."
"Okay!" Lin Qing said with a smile.
...
After resting at home for a few days, Lin Qinghuan took Wei Hong to look for a shop to open a supermarket. They searched for several days but couldn't find a suitable shop.
That day, Lin Qinghuan and Wei Hong were walking down the street, looking for a suitable shop, when they suddenly heard someone calling her, "Lin Qinghuan, Lin Qinghuan!"
Lin Qinghuan heard someone call her name, and the voice sounded somewhat familiar. Looking in the direction of the voice, she saw Dong Wenbo standing at the entrance of a hotel. She smiled at Dong Wenbo, walked closer to him, and greeted him with a smile, "Brother Dong, Happy New Year! It's been a long time. How have you been this year?"
Looking at Lin Qinghuan's smiling face, Dong Wenbo smiled and said, "Happy New Year, Qinghuan!" Looking at Lin Qinghuan's blushing face, he chuckled and said, "Your complexion is rosy; you must have been doing well lately."
Lin Qinghuan nodded with a smile, "I did have a good life back then."
Dong Wenbo looked at Wei Hong standing next to Lin Qinghuan, "And this is..."
“This is Wei Hong, my grandfather’s capable subordinate. I’m preparing to open a supermarket, so my grandfather asked him to help me,” Lin Qinghuan said.
Dong Wenbo looked at Lin Qinghuan and asked with interest, "You want to open a supermarket?"
Lin Qinghuan said, "Well, I'm planning to open a supermarket, but I've been looking for a suitable shop for several days and just can't find one."
"Aren't your expectations too high?"
