When Zhou Sisi saw that everyone was rushing to buy the book, she realized that her goal had been achieved and she no longer looked for anyone to read to her. She also pretended to be serious and went to queue up to pay with the book. She had to act the whole way, so she would return the book after everyone left!

This book-buying craze lasted until the bookstore closed. Later, those who didn't receive the free dolls and were not short of money spent their own money to buy a doll of the character mentioned in the book. Since everyone had one, they should have one too.

Zhou Dajiang and Zhou Sisi stayed until the accountant counted the number of books sold today before returning to the Cheng family.

Zhou Sisi couldn't hide her excitement along the way, "Dad, how is it? Is my method useful?"

Zhou Dajiang was also happy for his daughter. "Yes, yes, you are the best! But your grandmother's dolls have also attracted many people to buy them."

"Grandma is the best! Little Red Riding Hood and Grandma Wolf are the best partners!" Zhou Sisi was so happy that she revealed her little thoughts.

Zhou Dajiang slapped her and said, "You're so naughty! Be careful or I'll pull your ears if you hear me!"

"As long as you don't tell her, she won't know!" Zhou Sisi waved her hand nonchalantly.

When the two returned to Cheng's house, Cheng Yunxiang had been waiting at the door for a long time.

The two had been out for most of the day and hadn't even returned for lunch. Mother Zhou was worried, so Qi asked a servant to go to the store and ask around. It turned out the two were indeed there. It was also said that their presence had boosted sales of books and dolls.

It was only after Cheng Yunxiang returned home from get out of class that he heard about the good sales of the book. Seeing that it was almost closing time for the bookstore, he went to the door to wait for Zhou Sisi.

"I heard the book sold well today, congratulations!"

"Congratulations!" Zhou Sisi said with a smile, and then she vividly told Cheng Yunxiang about the grand occasion of the book sale today and how she was thinking of ways to promote the sales.

Cheng Yunxiang listened attentively, occasionally interjecting, "That's a great idea! I wouldn't have thought of such a good idea."

Seeing that it was getting late, Zhou Dajiang said to the two of them, "Stop chatting at the door, let's go in quickly!"

Cheng Yunxiang slapped his head and said, "Look at me, I'm just busy talking. Let's go in quickly!"

Normally, the Cheng family would eat in their own courtyards, and no one could disturb the old couple unless the old man asked.

This morning, because Grandpa Cheng saw that his grandson and Zhou Sisi were chatting quite happily, he allowed his grandson to have dinner with them. He didn't allow others to have dinner with them because he thought they were too noisy.

Several people came to the restaurant. The table was already filled with sumptuous dishes.

After a while, Mr. Cheng, his wife Qi, and Chen's mother came over, and everyone took their seats.

Old Master Cheng first asked about Zhou Dajiang's study in the afternoon, and then asked how many of Zhou Sisi's books had been sold that day. When he heard that more than fifty books had been sold, Old Master Cheng said "good" three times in a row.

Normally, if a book sells fifty copies a month, it is already a large number. Selling so many in one day is a really good result.

Speaking of this, Zhou Sisi couldn't hide her pride, "With me, Zhou Xiaohuyou, here, of course we sell more!"

Then, she told everyone in vivid detail how she had deceived people and how her father had cooperated with her.

Everyone listened to her story as if they were listening to a story, and they were amused by her from time to time.

"Okay, okay, it's good to be young. You have more ideas." Mr. Cheng, who is always serious, couldn't help laughing.

The meal was completed in this relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

After dinner, Zhou Sisi said goodnight to the Cheng family and went back to the house with her grandmother to rest. Although she had a lot of fun this day, she was also very tired. Her feet were sore from walking.

Zhou Dajiang also took the opportunity to say goodbye and return to his guest room.

Only Qi, Cheng Fang and Cheng Yunxiang, a grandparent and his grandchildren, were left. Seeing this, Cheng Yunxiang stood up, said good night to his grandparents, and left.

After the little grandson left, Qi asked in confusion, "Don't you usually like to make noise? Why are you so generous today and even let Xiangge'er join you for dinner?"

"If it were our own children, I would indeed dislike their noise. Only Yunxiang is older and can understand a little bit. The rest are either in swaddling clothes or three or four years old. They start howling after just a few words. Their noise is so loud that it hurts my head. It's better to stay away from them." Old Master Cheng still doesn't like noise.

"That little girl Sisi was chatting and laughing for a long time tonight, why didn't you seem annoyed?"

Mrs. Qi was speechless. After all, they were her grandchildren. She loved them so much that she couldn't wait to find them annoying.

"That little girl Sisi is definitely different. How many little girls have you seen who can publish their own picture albums before the age of seven? Although there should be adult help here, that child is really smart!

To put it bluntly, even if all the children in our family were put together, they might not be as good as this kid. Let me put this aside for now: that kid will definitely have a bright future." Mr. Cheng didn't know where he saw it from, but he praised Zhou Sisi with every word he said.

"So, that's why you let our brother Xiang contact them?" Qi understood the old man's thoughts a little.

"Yes, if the two of them can be like us in the future, childhood sweethearts, and create a beautiful story, then I think I will wake up laughing in my dreams."

"You're just dreaming." Qi scolded the old man, and they supported each other and returned to the bedroom.

The next day, the father and daughter wanted to go to the bookstore, but Chen's mother stopped them and asked them to follow her to the embroidery workshop.

They both thought that Chen's mother was there to discuss business. But they were only half right. Chen's mother was indeed there to discuss business, but not the doll business. Instead, she was asking Chen's mother to sell a bunch of pillow and cushion drawings that Zhou Sisi had drawn before as patterns.

Zhou Sisi didn't even realize how her grandmother brought it here. As a result, she quickly negotiated the price with the embroiderer, and took out a stack of paper from the bag she was carrying. She took the money with one hand and handed the paper out with the other.

Zhou Sisi was surprised to see her grandmother selling her drawings right in front of her! Although the drawings were useless, it was wrong not to inform her!

"Grandma, how can you sell my paintings without my consent?!" Zhou Sisi was very angry and protested in a low voice while someone was greeting customers.

Mother Chen's smile remained unchanged as she counted the money and explained, "Sisi, you're holding this pillow and leaning on the backrest. Grandma spent several days embroidering and sewing those things. It's reasonable to ask for some labor fees, right?

Besides, your paintings are so good, it would be a shame to throw them away. This is great, and I can also earn some extra money for the family."

Zhou Sisi thought it made sense. If they kept it at home and didn't use it, they would just burn it. Selling it would be like recycling waste. Although she still felt a little uncomfortable, she also understood her grandmother's frugal nature.

"Okay, grandma, next time you want to sell my paintings, at least tell me first." Zhou Sisi said.

"Okay, okay, grandma knows." Mother Chen quickly agreed.
