After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 368

Chapter 368: Lord Zhou’s Ingenious Accessory
Zhouzhou’s ears twitched, and she instinctively opened her eyes. Upon seeing the object on her wrist, her eyes widened in amazement. “Wow!” she exclaimed. “It’s so beautiful!”

It was a telephone watch. Its exterior gleamed with gold, even the strap was crafted from gold.

Most importantly, the dial resembled the shape of an eight diagram instrument, while the strap was adorned with small golden plates, giving it a unique charm that resonated with Zhouzhou’s aesthetic preferences.

The little girl leaped with joy, utterly delighted. Witnessing her reaction, Qin Ren chuckled softly and inquired, “Do you like it?”

“I love it, I love it!” Zhouzhou vigorously nodded, her pigtails bouncing with every movement.

Her eyes sparkled as she gazed at Qin Ren, and her chubby hands, as if recalling something, hesitated for a moment.

Qin Ren immediately noticed her hesitation. “What’s wrong? If there’s anything you don’t like, just tell me, and I’ll have it changed.”

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou replied, “I like it, Eldest Brother, but could you make me another one? I want it to hang here!”

She pointed excitedly to her waist. “It should be square, not round, and it should also be able to make phone calls, like what the big bosses have.”

As she spoke, she gestured with her chubby hands.

“Hmm?” Qin Ren looked puzzled for a moment, not quite grasping Zhouzhou’s meaning.

Qin Lie, sipping water, couldn’t help but smile as he hinted, “Pager.”

Qin Ren: “…”

He lowered his gaze to his little cousin and saw Zhouzhou vigorously nodding her head. “Yes, yes, that’s it! The big bosses all carry it like this, and I want to be a big boss too!”

With a pager on her waist and a cellular phone in hand, she would be the wealthiest child around!

The onlookers were dumbfounded, but after a few seconds, they burst into laughter.

Where did she learn this?

Zhouzhou innocently poked her chubby hand, looking at them with a puzzled expression, unaware of what they found amusing.

Grandpa Qin couldn’t help but chuckle, clearing his throat and casting a guilty glance at his granddaughter.

A few days ago, he had watched a period drama with his granddaughter and casually remarked that the big bosses of that era dressed like this. He hadn’t expected his granddaughter to remember.

Qin Ren massaged his temples, finally understanding. He couldn’t help but find it both amusing and worrisome.

How did Zhouzhou’s sense of aesthetics stray so far?

“Eldest Brother, is it possible?” Seeing him silent, Zhouzhou gently shook his hand, her chubby face nestling in his palm, coquettishly pleading, “Please, Eldest Brother, I love you the most.”

Feeling her soft touch, Qin Ren subconsciously pinched her chubby cheeks, unable to refuse. “Alright.”

In an instant, Zhouzhou smiled even brighter, throwing herself into his arms. “Thank you, Eldest Brother!”

Qin Bei stretched his neck, feeling a bit envious. Looking at his own dark telephone watch, he suddenly felt a bit disdainful. With puppy eyes, he said, “Eldest Brother, I want one too.”

“Ask for a beating?” Qin Ren pushed up his glasses, not even bothering to lift his head.

Qin Bei immediately pursed his lips, letting out a muffled whimper, then stuffed his mouth full of rice and swallowed it with a sense of injustice.

Why was big brother so biased! He only gave good things to Zhouzhou and none to him!

Why!

Just because he wasn’t as chubby as Zhouzhou?

Who couldn’t gain weight!

Humph.

He was just not valued; he couldn’t compete with Zhouzhou in his brother’s heart.

Grandmother Qin shook her head and approached to take a closer look at the telephone watch on Zhouzhou’s hand, exclaiming, “Oh! I’ve never seen this kind of telephone watch before. What brand is it?”

Previously, she had intended to gift Zhouzhou with one, but after looking around, she couldn’t find anything appealing and ultimately didn’t make the purchase. Unexpectedly, Qin Ren had presented her with one.

Qin Ren shook his head. “I made it myself.”

What he didn’t mention was that he spent a month shuttling between the laboratory and the library to create this watch, striving to make the best telephone watch, a one-of-a-kind piece in the world. His little cousin deserved it.

“I turned the phone into a satellite phone, so even if Zhouzhou is in an area with no signal, she can still make calls. It’s solar-powered, and I’ve also saved the contact details.”

The words on it were in traditional characters, to ensure even the illiterate could understand.

As he spoke, he lifted Zhouzhou onto his lap. “Zhouzhou, let me teach you how to use it.”

“Okay, okay!” Zhouzhou nodded repeatedly, her gaze fixated on it since she laid eyes on it.

Qin Lie glanced meaningfully at his eldest nephew; he had been preempted.

Qin Bei and the others looked at Zhouzhou with envy, suddenly wishing to be girls.

Boys in the Qin family were like onions! Still, they weren’t as valuable as the few small onions on Zhouzhou’s head.

Heartache.

An Ya walked in and saw the less valued brothers of the Qin family burying their heads in their food while the little foodie daughter was playing, feeling somewhat curious.

Drifting over, she glanced for a while, raising an eyebrow slightly. This gift was quite thoughtful.

Zhouzhou peered at her. “Mommy!”

“Hey!” An Ya responded cheerfully, patting her daughter’s head. “Have you eaten?”

“Not yet.” Zhouzhou jumped off Qin Ren’s lap and pulled An Ya back to the table. “Mommy, eat too.”

“Alright.” An Ya sat down with a smile.

Grandmother Qin said, “Zhouzhou mentioned that today is Little Ye’s birthday, so I prepared a gift for him. Could you guys help me give it to him later?”

“Okay.” An Ya didn’t refuse, smiling up at her. “Thank you, aunt.”

“Don’t mention it, we’re all family.” Grandmother Qin watched as her transparent figures faded, knowing she were about to reincarnate. She couldn’t help but sigh.

It would be great if An Ya were still alive.

Their family had gone through hardships, only to end up separating. It was heartbreaking.

An Ya was more open-minded, occasionally smiling and glancing at Zhouzhou.

After she finished eating, the mother and daughter left hand in hand.

Qin Lie escorted them to the store, but Zhouzhou didn’t let him stay here all the time; she had heard his phone ring several times just now.

“Daddy, you go to work. Mommy and I can stay here. You can come pick us up after work, okay?”

Qin Lie glanced at the messages on his phone, all sent by his assistant. Today was indeed a bit busy.

“Okay, remember to have lunch when you’re hungry.”

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou shook her head and patted her little belly. “I definitely won’t be hungry today.” Last time, she had overeaten. It was good not to have leftovers.

Thinking of last time, a hint of a smile flashed in Qin Lie’s eyes. “If there’s anything, call me.”

“Mm-hmm!” Zhouzhou shook the telephone watch on her wrist, her chubby arms trembling. She also had a little phone now.

After patting her head, Qin Lie and the store clerk gave a few reminders before leaving.

The clerk led Zhouzhou into the private room. Zhouzhou waved her hand. “Sister, you can go out first. We can handle it ourselves.”

“Okay.” The clerk nodded and closed the door, feeling a bit puzzled. We? Where did the others come from?

She wondered but didn’t want to ask too much, assuming Zhouzhou misspoke and didn’t think much about it.

Once she left, An Ya sat cross-legged on the cushion and declared ambitiously, “Today, we will definitely make a very beautiful cake!”

“Absolutely!” Zhouzhou nodded vigorously, waving her chubby arms confidently.

“We’ll definitely learn!”
