Actually, Qin Xue went to Guo Aiguo’s place. After getting her advance payment, she brought her siblings to send a telegram home. She was too busy yesterday to send the telegram as promised, which was really not right as a daughter.
After finishing the telegram, she bought some pastries and took her younger brother and sister to the shop.
Qin Xue saw the business in the store. Although it was not as good as the first few days, it was now in a stable state, with an acceptable number of customers.
“Xiao Jingtao, auntie is here.” Qin Xue called out to Jingtao, who was sitting in the baby-walker.
“Yi Yi.” Jingtao was excited to see Qin Xue.
Perhaps it was because he was back in a familiar place that Jingtao slowly recovered his timid nature since his return.
“Oh, are you that happy to see me? Where is your mom?” Qin Xue couldn’t see Fang Xiu and took out the pastries she brought for Jingtao to eat.
“Qin Xue is here. Sit down. Who are these two?” Yu Xiu looked up when she heard the voice and saw Qin Xue talking to Jingtao.
“Sister-in-law, this is my brother and sister; how come it’s just you? I didn’t see Fang Xiu.” Qin Xue came to find Fang Xiu to help with the bags today.
“Her? She went to pick up her man from the hospital.” Yu Xiu knew about Jingtao’s situation and felt heartbroken, so she was looking after the store and Jingtao at the same time.
Today, Jing Xin could be discharged from the hospital, so Fang Xiu went to pick him up.
“Jing Xin can be discharged? I’ve forgotten.” Qin Xue had a lot going on recently and didn’t have time to focus on Fang Xiu’s situation.
“Yes, the doctor said he can come home to rest. Fang Xiu can’t keep running back and forth, so she wanted to bring Jing Xin back so she could take care of everything at once.” Yu Xiu thought about how hard Fang Xiu had been running around recently, and it made the already delicate person look even more frail and thin. Even she felt heartache seeing her like that.
“It’s true. One person can’t split their attention, and trying to take care of everything like that is really tough.” Qin Xue nodded in agreement with Yu Xiu’s point.
“You guys sit down first. I’ll hang up these clothes.” Yu Xiu looked at the pile of clothes that customers had brought in for a try-on, and she hadn’t had time to hang them up before Qin Xue and her siblings came over.
“Okay, sister-in-law, you do your thing – don’t worry about us.” Qin Xue took her siblings and Jingtao to the neighboring room.
“You two sit and play with this kid. I’ll be busy for a while, and then we’ll go find a house.” After giving instructions to her siblings, Qin Xue picked a bright and lively piece of fabric, took out paper and a pen from her bag, and started to draw blueprints for a shoulder bag and a backpack.
This way, her sister could choose whether to wear a single shoulder bag or a backpack depending on her outfit when she went out in the future.
“Sister, the bags you drew are so beautiful!” Jiale exclaimed after Qin Xue finished drawing, her eyes glowing with desire.
“Do you like them?” Qin Xue asked Jiale, holding the finished blueprints.
“I love them! How much would it cost to make one?” Jiale wondered if her pocket money would be enough to buy one.
“No need to pay.” Qin Xue smiled at her sister.
“Huh, no need to pay? Why don’t you charge for such a pretty bag? Are you planning to give it away for free?” Jiale didn’t understand her sister’s thinking – the bag should be popular if sold.
“Yes, no need to pay, because I drew these to make for you, not to sell. Or do you want to give me money?” Qin Xue smiled at her sister playfully.
“Ah, is it really for me?” Jiale hesitated, asking her sister. Just now, she was wondering if her pocket money would be enough to buy one, and now her sister told her it was free and for her. Wasn’t happiness coming too suddenly?
