Xiao Miaomiao ordered a kumquat lemon passion fruit drink, and asked to add more passion fruit.

The servant happily went back to the kitchen, and then stepped out and asked, "Madam, where should we send it to you?"

"No need, I'll come get it later and put it on the dining table. Don't add any ice." Xiao Miaomiao looked at her and smiled.

"Ok."

"Come on, I'll take you to see my collection of paintings. Let's first go see the painting in my and your grandma's bedroom." Grandpa Li stood up and said that he would take Xiao Miaomiao to see it.

After hearing this, Xiao Miaomiao nodded to her grandmother and followed her over.

"Go ahead." Grandma Xiao wanted to go to the greenhouse to sit for a while, so she didn't go with them to see the paintings.

"It's this one, Miaomiao. Look at this painting. Doesn't it give people a very quiet and harmonious feeling?" Grandpa Li pointed at the painting on the wall and showed it to Xiao Miaomiao.

Xiao Miaomiao widened her eyes in disbelief. It was not because she was shocked by the painting, but because she drew the picture.

"It's excellent, isn't it? But it's a pity that we only found this one painting. We haven't received any more paintings from this painter since the exhibition. It's a pity." Grandpa Li said regretfully.

Xiao Miaomiao was even more embarrassed after hearing this, "That grandpa, this painting."

"Why, do you want this painting too? Not now, just give grandpa a thought. If Jingcheng asks for it, I will give it to you as a gift." Grandpa Li waved his hand and said.

He picked up a clean towel beside him and started wiping it. He had been wiping the painting himself since Jing Cheng's accident.

Xiao Miaomiao thought that she would also paint at home in the future, so she said it out loud even though she felt a little embarrassed, "Grandpa, this is what I painted."

Grandpa Li looked back at her in disbelief, and asked, "You drew this?"

"Well, MM is my stage name." Xiao Miaomiao said awkwardly, "The exhibition room you mentioned should be called Yixi, it was opened by my senior brother. It was his first exhibition and he said he didn't have enough paintings, so he asked for this painting. This was originally my graduation project, and I can only paint one more painting afterwards."

When Grandpa Xiao heard her say it was her senior brother’s painting exhibition, he knew it was her.

That's how the exhibition organizer introduced it, saying it was snatched from his junior sister.

Grandpa Li thought about it and laughed out loud, "It's true that people from the same family stick together."

"Didn't your grandma say that she would build a studio for you at home? When you finish your paintings, you can hang them up on the walls of our house. You don't have to sell them. I will give you a reward. How about one million for each painting?" Grandpa Li looked at Xiao Miaomiao and discussed.

"One million?" Xiao Miaomiao took a breath.

"Is it too little? How about five million per painting?" Grandpa Li thought she thought it was too little. After all, her paintings were really worth the price.

"No, grandpa, it doesn't cost that much. Five hundred yuan will be enough." The paint cost one hundred yuan, and the labor cost four hundred yuan.

She just treats it as a side job, and it feels good to earn money by herself.

With her level, she should be able to paint a picture every two days, which means fifteen paintings a month, and 7,500 yuan a month. It's not much, but it is an income, and it's money she earned herself. It makes her happy just thinking about it.

"My senior brother only spent 500 yuan to buy this painting of mine." Xiao Miaomiao said frankly.

"Five hundred yuan? Your senior brother only gave you five hundred yuan? I spent five million to buy this painting." Grandpa Li looked at her in disbelief.

"Well, my senior brother is relatively poor, and 500 yuan is the most he could give me. Later I heard that the exhibition was going well. However, after the exhibition, his father was diagnosed with cancer, so he sold his studio. My senior brother said that he sold my paintings for 5 million, but at that time he needed money to take his father abroad for treatment. He said he only needed 500,000 yuan, and 4.5 million yuan was a loan to me."

"I didn't want it. After all, I sold it to him for 500 yuan at the beginning, so the painting is his. As for how much he can sell it for, it all depends on his ability, so the money is naturally his." Xiao Miaomiao explained, asking Grandpa Li not to be angry, saying that senior brother was a very good person.

"Is that so? I was wondering why the person was replaced later and even the name was changed." Grandpa Li nodded after listening. This senior brother was indeed a trustworthy person. He could ask for only a commission of 500,000 out of 5 million. His character was good.

Xiao Miaomiao also agreed that her senior brother was a very trustworthy person.

"Okay, then let's charge one thousand yuan per painting. Now that a year has passed, the cost of paint will go up, let alone other things. The extra money can be considered as my reward for your hard work. It's a deal." Grandpa Li didn't give her a chance to regret.

"I am your grandfather and I am so poor that I only have money left. You can't refuse me again."

"Okay, thank you, Grandpa. I will buy you a gift when I earn money." Xiao Miaomiao said jokingly.

"In this case, I have earned money. I give you a salary, and you have to use it to buy me gifts." Grandpa Li also found it funny.

"That's my way of showing filial piety to you, grandma, mom and dad. I will also show filial piety to you along with Li Jingcheng's share." Xiao Miaomiao was not joking, she was serious.

"Okay, good boy. Jingcheng is a reserved child. We only receive gifts from him during festivals. When we were in school, we could receive gifts bought by him personally. Later, when he took over the company, it was good enough to receive a gift selected by him personally on my birthday." Grandpa Li said pitifully.

This is what Li Jingcheng didn't know. If he knew, he would jump up and down. The gifts he gave to his family were all selected by him personally.

But Xiao Miaomiao didn't know, and she thought it was normal. After all, Li Jingcheng was so busy, how could he have time to buy things? Even the things that Hong Wenbin prepared for his family were bought by her. She heard before that he asked his assistant to buy them.

"I will buy it for you in the future. Although it won't be as precious as the one given by Li Jingcheng, I will choose it carefully." Xiao Miaomiao didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Grandpa Li was even happier when he heard this. No wonder his wife and daughter-in-law both wanted a daughter. It turned out that daughters are more caring.

Grandpa Li had no intention of deceiving Xiao Miaomiao. They would also prepare things for Xiao Miaomiao, and she also had Li Jingcheng's black gold card, so she didn't have to worry about not having money.

One thing he was right about was that their family was so poor that they only had money left.

Grandpa Li took her to the collection room, where there were indeed many famous paintings and antiques. Xiao Miaomiao did not take them away. She thought it was good to leave them here. If she wanted to see them, she could come and have a look. Especially since she heard that there were people who specialized in maintaining these famous paintings and antiques, they would not be taken out of the room at will.
