Rich in the 70s: I Made a Rugged Veteran a Millionaire novel Chapter 83

Chapter 83: Chapter 83: Can She Do It?

Jiang Cheng didn’t move her feet, but her head turned slightly to look at Shen Yue, who stood up holding the painting paper and presented it to Grandma Zhao.

Grandma Zhao put down her teacup and looked at the painting paper earnestly.

Shen Yue was so nervous she didn’t dare breathe.

She loved painting!

Loved it very much!

Before meeting Jiang Cheng, she didn’t know she could formally learn to paint.

All along, she had been told not to scribble in books, not to waste paper, not this, not that.

In short, no one ever told her, like Jiang Cheng did, that there was nothing wrong with painting.

Shen Yue sneaked a glance at Jiang Cheng, who gave her a nod of affirmation and a smile.

Shen Yue smiled genuinely and turned back to await her judgment.

"Come to learn every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at five o’clock, prepare your own brushes and paper, buy professional paper and pens, can you do that?"

Shen Yue’s big round eyes were full of surprise, forgetting to speak.

"I can do it!"

Jiang Cheng stepped forward and agreed.

Grandma Zhao nodded, handed the painting paper to Shen Yue, and said, "Let’s go."

Jiang Cheng gently nudged Shen Yue, who immediately said, "Goodbye, Teacher Zhao."

Without turning her head, Grandma Zhao continued to trim the roses with scissors, taking advantage of the last bit of daylight.

Jiang Cheng held Shen Yue’s hand, along with Sister Wang, and walked out of Grandma Zhao’s yard together.

She first took Sister Wang home, expressed her thanks, and then took Shen Yue back to the tenement courtyard.

On the way back, Shen Yue chatted non-stop in disbelief.

"Sister, I really have a teacher now!"

"Yes, and a very skilled teacher, too."

"If you say she’s skilled, she must be super skilled! I must study hard."

"I believe in you! But you have to promise me, you need to study hard in school as well."

Shen Yue put on a determined look and said, "Okay!"

Jiang Cheng looked at her helplessly.

This is also why she said to study hard, not to necessarily do well.

Shen Yue is probably the kind of student who is very insensitive to studying.

The next day, Saturday, Jiang Cheng took Shen Yue, Shen Xing, and Grandma Shen to the department store.

Grandma Shen said she wouldn’t go because of chores at home, but actually, she was afraid of spending money.

Li Chunxiang popped up out of nowhere, eagerly saying she’d do the chores.

Sun Aiguo also appeared, saying he’d carry water.

Neither of them could see their own household chores, yet they were competing to help with Jiang Cheng’s.

The most outrageous thing was that the parents of both families not only didn’t mind but even insisted on helping out personally.

If Grandma Shen hadn’t stopped them, she might have lived like a dowager empress of ancient times.

In any case, Grandma Shen eventually went with them to the department store.

There were especially many people on the weekend.

Seeing the crowd, Grandma Shen held onto Shen Xing and Shen Yue and said, "Stay close, don’t get lost."

Noticing this, Jiang Cheng took Grandma Shen and the three of them to the second floor, finding Sister Zhu, whom she had met when buying a bicycle last time.

After chatting for a few minutes, Sister Zhu took Jiang Cheng and the four of them downstairs, walking through their internal passageway to the stationery counter.

There weren’t many people at the stationery counter. Seeing a pretty young girl, Jiang Cheng immediately started complimenting her endlessly.

"Young and promising, so beautiful and capable..."

...

With just a few words, she made the young sales clerk thrilled and happy.

"This paper is really nice! It’s grade-one paper from the paper mill, right?" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"You even know this."
