Chapter 21: Grandpa

Soon a week passed again, and it was time to go home from vacation. Xu Xiangqing and Wang Ying walked to the gate of the school with a smile and found Wang Ying's father, Wang Wei, standing at www.biquge.info the door looking inside the school.

Xu Xiangqing stepped forward very politely to greet her, "Hello uncle." ”

Wang Ying was a little puzzled, "Dad, why are you here, I can go back myself without picking it up." ”

Wang Wei looked at his daughter's puzzled look and smiled dotingly, "You really think of yourself as a character, today is your grandfather's birthday, I came to pick you up and go over with you, your mother is already at your grandfather's house." ”

"I see, I've forgotten what day it is. Wang Ying was a little ashamed, her grandfather loved her the most, but she actually forgot her grandfather's birthday.

Wang Ying turned her head to look at Xu Xiangqing embarrassedly, "Xiangqing, I'm sorry, I can't go with you." ”

"What's there to be sorry for, you go to celebrate your grandfather's birthday, and I'll find other classmates to go home with you later." Xu Xiangqing thought to herself that since Wang Ying would not go home with her, she would simply go to the store and buy the paper and watercolor used in the clothing design draft. On her own, she doesn't have to worry about others knowing that she is going to participate in a fashion design competition.

Seeing Wang Ying smiling and saying that she was going to buy a birthday gift, Xu Xiangqing was very envious in her heart. She also hopes to have the opportunity to be filial to her grandfather, who unfortunately died when she was still a child.

Xu Xiangqing still remembered that her grandfather's name was Wang Dongyuan, and she and her grandmother Zhou Qian worked hard to raise a pair of children, her uncle Wang Liang, and the other was her mother Wang Jing. Seeing that his children were married and had children, his life was getting better day by day, but his grandfather was diagnosed with cancer.

Xu Xiangqing's memory still clearly remembers the appearance of his grandfather, although he is young, he has not forgotten that every time he goes to his grandfather's house, his grandfather holds himself in his arms with a smile, and says vigorously, "My good granddaughter is here." "And every time my grandfather took her to buy something delicious. Xu Xiangqing has never received such treatment from her grandparents.

The thought that the person who loved him would never see him again, he couldn't help but feel sad.

Wang Ying left with his father, and Xu Xiangqing was going to buy things alone. Worried that ordinary stores would not be able to buy special drawing paper, Xu Xiangqing also went to a store specializing in stationery, and the owner was an uncle in his forties.

Sure enough, Xu Xiangqing saw the drawing paper he wanted. I originally wanted to buy a few more, but when I asked the boss about the price, I found out that it cost a piece. In Xu Xiangqing's view, this price is just two words: so expensive.

It's ninety-five years now, not twenty years from now. Twenty years later, a dollar may be lost on the street, and some people are afraid to pick it up, but now an ordinary worker's monthly salary is only 300 yuan, and a dollar must be saved.

Xu Xiangqing's heart was thinking about buying a few pieces of paper, the paper sold in the store was large, and it could be cut into four sheets of sixteen open when he went back. Because he didn't dare to guarantee that he would draw it at one time, Xu Xiangqing estimated that he would have to buy at least two sheets, that is, two yuan. In addition, Xu Xiangqing took a fancy to a set of water-based colored pencils in the store, which was just right for coloring the clothing design drawings. Xu Xiangqing calculated that these two things would cost ten yuan.

Ten yuan was not enough to buy a cup of coffee for Xu Xiangqing in the past, but now it is all Xu Xiangqing's belongings. Thinking that the child can't be a wolf, since he is going for the first prize of the costume competition, he must do everything to the best. Therefore, now is not the time to skimp on money, and the paper and drawings should be used in the best possible way, so that the judges must not feel unprofessional.

However, Xu Xiangqing is not the kind of person with a good face, she also changed from an ordinary girl to a successful person in the eyes of others in her previous life, so she is still very good at bargaining.

Under Xu Xiangqing's soft grinding and hard bubbles, the boss finally relented. "Little girl, I'm really convinced. Just buying such a small thing and bargaining hard will really save your parents money. I'm also a small business, so you can give me nine dollars, and take what you think is suitable. ”

Although it took half a day of hard work to save a dollar, it was better than half a discount. Looking at the boss's expression, he thought that it was impossible to be cheaper, so Xu Xiangqing also agreed to make a deal for nine yuan. "Boss, it will be cheaper for me to come back in the future, it may be a big business in the future, and I will give a preferential price." ”

Xu Xiangqing thought that if his clothing design won the first place, then Ye's clothing company should contact him. From the company's point of view, if you meet a good designer, you will want to take over the company and use it for your own use. But Xu Xiangqing is still just a student, and it is impossible to work as a designer in the company. But Xu Xiangqing hopes to cooperate with the other party for a long time, she provides drawings, and Ye's clothing company pays him. If this idea can become a reality, it will be necessary to buy drawing paper at this store more often in the future.

But the shopkeeper at this moment didn't take Xu Xiangqing's words about big business seriously, and felt that Xu Xiangqing, a little girl, was at most buying a pen and a notebook, far away from big business. However, when he comes often in the future and becomes a regular customer, he will also erase the odds for the guests.

Because she went to the store, Xu Xiangqing went home a little later than usual. Seeing her mother Wang Jing standing on the side of the road anxiously looking into the distance from a distance, Xu Xiangqing felt warm in her heart, this feeling of having a family waiting for her is so good.

Xu Xiangqing had just stopped the car when she arrived at the door of the house, and Wang Jing stepped forward to take her daughter's schoolbag. "Why did you come back so late today, you are still alone, why didn't you leave with Wang Ying. ”

"Today, Grandpa Wang Ying's birthday is celebrated, and their family is going, so I will come back alone. On the way back to the store to buy something, so it was a bit late. Xu Xiangqing pushed the bicycle and walked into the yard side by side with her mother Wang Jing.

Xu Zhonghui was repairing tools in the yard, and when he heard the voice of his wife and daughter talking, he glanced up, "I just said it's okay, it's not good to come back." Xiang Qing is not a child anymore, just worry about it. ”

Wang Jing glared at her husband twice, and looked back at her daughter, "Don't listen to your father, he is just a duck with a hard mouth, and he is obviously worried, but he doesn't admit it." Wang Jingke saw her husband looking out in the yard several times, and she was obviously anxious because her daughter hadn't come home yet.

Xu Xiangqing was urged by her mother Wang Jing to put her schoolbag in the house and wash her hands and eat, made noodles at night, made noodles with kidney beans that Xu Xiangqing likes to eat, and deliberately cut a lot of small diced meat and put two more eggs.
