“Little Gezi, are you ready yet?”
Qiu Xi sat on the sofa downstairs, urging her younger brother. They had agreed last night that he would accompany her shopping today.
But the boy had been rushing his homework since early morning. Lunch was finished, and he still hadn't completed it.
Qiu Xi sighed, truly pitying the high school student whose life seemed to be nothing but homework.
“Done, I told you not to rush me.” He had only one math problem left, and he wouldn't feel right until it was finished.
“Alright, alright, I won’t rush next time. Let’s go quickly.”
“……”
She still wanted a next time? My own sister!
Watching her walk out the door, Qiu Ge felt a bit helpless, the kind of feeling where you want to say something but dare not.
“Later, we’ll go buy…”
“Mhm…”
As soon as they got out of the car, Qiu Ge’s left ear processed everything his sister said, while his right ear let it all out, nodding continuously.
Anyway, all he had to do was follow her and carry things. Once they entered the mall, he was just a tool.
…
“Hello, Xiao Xi…”
“Yes, okay.”
Qiu Xi, who had already bought some things, received a call from her mother. Her mother said she had picked up her grandparents and then instructed her to buy a bunch of things to take back.
“That’s enough, let’s go back.”
Stepping out of the mall, Qiu Xi looked at the things in her brother’s hands and then at her own, also laden with bags. She started to wonder if she had really bought so much.
(´-﹏-`；)
She had thought she only bought some clothes.
If Qiu Ge knew what his sister was thinking at that moment, he would probably go crazy.
He had been trying to dissuade her for a long time, but he couldn't stop her from splurging.
At the Qiu family home –
“Where did these two kids go?”
As soon as they entered the house, Grandpa Qiu and Grandma Qiu started looking for the children.
“Xiao Xi took her brother shopping. She said she wanted to get herself some new things for the New Year.”
“Is that so.”
“But judging by the time, they should be back soon.”
“We’re back! So tired!”
Just as Qiu Mom finished speaking, the two arrived at the doorstep.
“Why did you buy so much!”
Looking at the two of them carrying a pile of shopping bags, Qiu Mom felt a headache coming on.
“It’s almost the New Year, so I bought some clothes for the house, and some food and daily necessities.”
Hearing her mother’s words, Qiu Xi felt a little embarrassed.
“You’re back!”
“Grandpa, Grandma~”
Although she had known from the phone call that her grandparents were coming over, seeing them after a long time still brought a surge of joy.
…
“Xiao Xi, how have things been at school?”
“Grandma, let me tell you…”
What followed was a period of entertainment and exchange between the four family members.
“Alright, you can chat after you eat.”
Seeing them chatting happily, Qiu Mom was also very happy. However, it was mealtime, and they still needed to eat.
“Okay.”
After dinner, Qiu Xi didn’t have time to chat further. She tidied up the things she bought and then continued with her training.
When her systematic investment course had achieved initial success, Qiu Xi had decided to try it out. The results were good, so she had kept a small portion and invested the remaining 1 million yuan.
She hoped that after some time, she would see some returns. That way, her goal of becoming a little rich woman would be one step closer.
After studying, Qiu Xi lay on her bed, starting to fantasize about her future life as a rich woman.
She didn’t know everything, but just imagining such a life felt incredibly comfortable.
