When Qi Xiaoqi met this god-grandfather for the first time, not only did he not cry, he was exceptionally friendly, giving Old Master Cheng a big smile and skillfully reaching out his little hand to grab the old man’s white beard.
Mother Cheng, being astute herself, clapped her hands and exclaimed, "Looks like our little Qi likes Old Master! Look how affectionate he is; it’s rare to get a smile from him usually."
The elderly enjoy hearing sweet words and love it even more when little children are fond of them. No other reason than growing old, naturally cherishing lively and energetic kids.
So, Old Master Cheng beamed with joy, waving his hand, "Bring the gift I prepared for Xiaoqi!"
Behind him, Cheng Yaozu fawningly presented a velvet box, and the old man placed that box directly on Qi Xiaoqi. As if knowing it contained something good, the little hands clutched onto the box as if hugging it.
Everyone found it surprising; he’s just a month old, and already so clever.
"Oh, could this little guy be a tiny money-grubber? Knowing good things already?" Cheng Yaozu joked with intrigue from the side.
Mother Cheng replied with pride, "Our Xiaoqi knows the old man loves him!"
Mother Qi, laughing till her cheeks hurt, felt even more enamored with such a clever child, the pride of the Qi family. She wished she could hug and shower him with kisses, but with the old man holding him, she had to repress her urges.
"Godfather, it’s enough for you to have a drink without bringing gifts! He’s so young, he doesn’t know the difference with gifts or no gifts!" Cheng Su chided playfully.
Old Master Cheng handed the velvet box to her, "It’s the first meeting between us grandparent and grandchild; a meeting gift is a must. He may not know now, but you should save it for him, and he’ll know in the future!"
Cheng Su had no choice but to say, "Then I’ll thank you on behalf of this little guy, godfather!"
