Although Qi Sisi looked happy, when the dumplings were served, she was full after eating two.
"Why are you eating so much?"
Mother Qi was a little worried and looked at her daughter's belly.
Could it be that she is pregnant?
"We ate it in the cafeteria. Maybe I drank too much dumpling soup." Qi Sisi said jokingly. Although she didn't like the dumplings in the cafeteria, the dumpling soup was particularly delicious. She didn't know what was added to it, but the pepper powder added at the end was the icing on the cake. She drank two bowls in one breath.
"It's okay, I'll just eat it."
Zhao Xingyu agreed with a smile, took the bowl in front of Qi Sisi and placed it next to the bowl.
"If you can't eat, don't eat anymore. Watch TV for a while. We still have dumplings. Let's take them home and eat them tonight."
"All right."
Qi Sisi's tone sounded a little regretful.
The dumplings that her mother gave her could only be given to Captain Zhao.
"Be good!"
Mother Qi rubbed her daughter's head.
It's not fun to eat something that's not good.
Lao Qi suddenly spoke up: "I heard that you are selling clothes recently?"
When Qi Sisi heard the tone, she felt something was wrong and quickly replied, "Yes, Dad, is there any problem?"
Lao Qi looked at the girl with scrutiny: "How come I didn't know that you had a pen pal who was studying abroad?"
As a soldier, he attached great importance to his lady's friendships.
He basically knows all the friends the girl has made from elementary school to high school, and now they are in close contact with everyone except those in the same army.
Now, with the sudden appearance of a pen pal who was "studying abroad", Lao Qi suddenly became alert.
Could it be that some spy has infiltrated the young lady's area?
"Forehead..."
Qi Sisi's eyes flashed with guilt.
"Well, Dad, this is just a gimmick for me to sell clothes. I'm not that kind of person."
It's okay to lie in front of outsiders, as it's all for the sake of making money, but it would be embarrassing to expose yourself in front of your family.
“There is no such person???”
Lao Qi looked more and more strange.
"So... who designed those clothes? Who made them?"
I didn’t take it seriously when I saw my daughter rummaging through clothes before. I just thought it was a child playing around, but it turned out to be a “foreign friend”. Now that it’s said to be fake, the matter has become even more confusing.
Qi Sisi pursed her lips.
Slowly speaking.
"Nowadays, many people add a label to clothes they sell, saying they are fashionable goods from Shanghai or Hong Kong. I thought that many people like foreign goods, so I simply add a foreign label to make it more convincing."
"Besides, those clothes were bought by me and Sister Hong after reading foreign fashion magazines. They are not fake."
"Reading foreign books can also be considered as further study~" Qi Sisi smiled nonchalantly.
Lao Qi:......
Qi's mother:......
Captain Zhao: ...
"So these skirts were made by you and Sister Hong from start to finish?" Zhao Xingyu asked.
Qi Sisi nodded vigorously.
Mother Qi was puzzled: "Who is Sister Hong?"
Zhao Xingyu explained it again.
Hearing that he was from the rest home and a veteran party member, they immediately put aside their suspicions.
"What kind of person is Sister Hong?"
Qi Sisi shook her head: "I'm not sure either. She must have been divorced and has a child. She might be about my age, so there is some transference effect."
"She has good skills and a gentle personality, so I hang out with her more often. She sometimes teaches me how to sew."
"Didn't you talk about anything else?" Lao Qi asked.
Qi Sisi shook her head.
"That's just me overthinking it."
While Lao Qi heaved a sigh of relief, 꺗 felt both amused and confused.
He had received a reminder from an old friend and was filled with doubts, but he never expected the truth to be like this.
It was quite amusing for a while.
"You~"
Old Qi poked Qi Sisi's forehead, his tone full of helplessness.
Since it's just a lie told by the young lady, it's not a good idea to make it public. Otherwise, everyone will know that the young lady is lying!
"Be more careful in the future. Your family doesn't need your money."
Lao Qi was a little worried. How could the young lady come up with such a clever trick?
"Lack of money?"
These words were asked while looking at Zhao Xingyu.
He shook his head quickly: "Sisi knows all the money at home, it's enough."
Qi Sisi touched her hair awkwardly and said, "No, I just want to try to make money on my own."
"Others can sell ordinary skirts at double the price by using the name of Shanghai and Hong Kong. The skirts I make are much more beautiful than theirs, and the craftsmanship is absolutely exquisite. Should I sell them at a lower price just because I don't have a special name?"
Qi Sisi felt a little unconvinced in her heart.
She was disgusted by the current trend of worshipping foreign things and thought she could take advantage of it, so she came up with this saying...
"You only thought of these, but you have to consider your own status, as well as the status of Xiao Zhao and me. Being in the army, you have to accept this constraint." Lao Qi pointed at her with a calm attitude.
Qi Sisi lowered her head, feeling a little annoyed. "Dad, I know I was wrong."
If she was not the daughter of Deputy Commander Qi and was not in the army, she would have just made up the story and sold it. It would have been a piece of cake.
For customers, as long as the quality and style of the skirt are really good, nothing else matters.
But being in the army, her every word and action may affect her father and the man, so she needs to be cautious.
"Okay, let's forget about this matter."
“Can you explain it clearly to the customer yourself?”
"The business atmosphere outside is not good now. We must absorb the essence and eliminate the dregs. We can't accept both good and bad things. Especially since you are smart, you must not knowingly commit crimes!"
Lao Qi was both surprised and regretful about this discovery. He was surprised that his daughter had such talent and wit, but regretted that she took the wrong path. Fortunately, he discovered it in time.
"I know. I'll make it clear."
Qi Sisi nodded silently.
In fact, even if we honestly say that she learned how to wear the skirt from a magazine, what does it matter?
The skirt is really beautiful, the quality is really good, and the aesthetics transcend time. Isn’t that enough?
She was in the military, and the atmosphere of worshipping foreign things was not that strong. She just wanted to create a gimmick...
Fortunately, there are only a few skirts sold now, so there is still time to explain clearly.
Just send some gifts and apologize sincerely, and that's enough.
As for the others, we'll talk about them later.
"Do you feel bad?"
Lao Qi felt uncomfortable when he saw his daughter lowering her head in silence.
He has always treated his daughter like a piece of glass and taken good care of her, but he has never cared about her inner thoughts. He is not fulfilling his duty as a father.
"no."
Qi Sisi raised her head, looked at her father's worried eyes, and smiled slowly.
"Dad, it's a good thing you reminded me today, otherwise I would have kept making mistakes."
"After listening to your words, I also found that I actually have some resistance to that statement in my heart."
She is not good at lying.
As for lies, once you tell one, you often have to make up for it with more lies.
It is a good thing to repair it in time.
"Grown up."
Qi 꿵 was happy in his heart, but he couldn't help but sigh.
As children grow up, they are destined to move further and further away from their mothers.
"When you encounter problems in the future, please discuss them with Xiao Zhao more often. I have avoided you in many things before. You have not been able to follow some of my ideas. You will have to rely on Xiao Zhao to lead me."
Qi Sisi nodded vigorously.
Zhao Xingyu felt a little guilty and said quickly: "Dad, I am also wrong in this matter. I knew Sisi was selling clothes, but I didn't remind her and didn't pay attention to it."
What was he thinking at the time? He thought that as long as Sisi was happy, that was enough. As for the friend who was "studying abroad", he didn't even ask about her and lost his vigilance.
"You're busy, I can't blame you."
Qi 꿵 was unwilling to blame his son-in-law and even said something to comfort him.
