Reborn Doll Life

Chapter 13

--

Lin Su counts the number of remaining toys in the toy store.

As usual, the little boy stood outside the toy store after school to watch for a while, and then left quietly.

Lin Su thought to himself, if one day the toy store sells out only this ship in a bottle, and the little boy does not come to buy it by then, Lin Su will give the ship in a bottle to the boy as the last gift to the toy store. commemorate.

However, what he hopes most is that the toy store can be revived, and the little boy earns the first pot of gold in his life to take away the ship carrying childhood memories.

The old housekeeper said that the older Lin family made their fortunes in toy stores, and then entered the silk industry.Lin Su didn't know if he had the ability to stand up again with this toy store.

Nowadays, there is a shortage of craftsmen in the store, and Lin Su can't use up all five fingers to count them.Based on the experience of the performance team at that time, it was not difficult for Lin Su to know that he would definitely not be able to recruit other craftsmen in the near future.

Due to the extremely small number of people, Uncle Qing, who has not yet recovered, had to join the front line of making toys.With a bandage wrapped around his right hand, he carves with his left.

Although the left hand is not as flexible as the right hand, it is no problem to simply make some basic carvings.As for the details, I will leave it to Qingci.

While making her own toys, Qingci solves troubles for her uncle.

Even if the toy store is not a thriving business, with the support of a small number of craftsmen, Lin Su feels that there is still a long way to go before closing down.

It's not far off, though.

Uncle Qing sent new toys over, Qing Ci studied the placement in front of the display cabinet, and Lin Su changed and changed the new shape of the sun god.He always felt that something was missing, that it was not in place, and it was always a little bit short.

Uncle Qing poked his head over to look at Lin Su's sketch, and said with a smile, "Master, are you still studying your sun?"

Lin Su scratched his head in annoyance, and added with a wry smile, "There's still the moon."

"Still exhibiting in the form of a live performance?" Uncle Qing sat down next to Lin Su.

Lin Su shrugged helplessly: "Not sure."

Now in a state of three shortages, there is a shortage of craftsmen to make toys, lack of performers to perform, and more importantly, he still lacks suitable exhibition opportunities.He can't be so lucky every time to meet Abby's magic tour.

Not only that, but the design of the new toy has yet to take shape.

"Master, you asked me before if I would leave the toy store." Uncle Qing paused, "Did Lao Zhang tell you why I came to work in this toy store."

This topic attracted Lin Su's attention, and he put down the pencil in his hand.Before he came into this body, Lin Su didn't know if the old butler had said anything.But he was sure that after he came, the old housekeeper didn't say a word.

Uncle Qing looked around, with nostalgia in his eyes, and his eyes fell on Qing Ci standing by the display case: "When I came to the toy store, I was much older than Xiao Ci. At 35, my life is in chaos."

At that time, Uncle Qing was in his thirties and was in the period of starting a family and starting a business.He has a heart for career, and he has made unremitting efforts for it.

Uncle Qing is talented and outstanding, and he successfully entered an animation company as an original painting designer.His creativity has won him high profits and high popularity. The company is determined to send Uncle Qing to study abroad, and Uncle Qing happily agrees.

However, his wife refused, and Uncle Qing was immersed in whimsical ideas every day, every day, without caring for his family at all.Uncle Qing didn't have time to talk to his wife, nor did he have time to tease the infant child.

After going abroad for two or three years, the company did not allow family members to accompany him. The wife wondered if her husband would completely fall into the arms of art or other women, and would never go home again.

Uncle Qing ignored his wife's objection and embarked on the path of further studies without hesitation.

Half a year later, Uncle Qing learned of two bad news. The child died, and his wife was hit so badly that she became insane.

He hurried back, but only saw a small urn.

The wife was insane, she tortured herself non-stop, and attempted suicide twice.Uncle Qing lost his child, and the woman he loved the most in the past is about to leave him.

In the past, the sworn vows, the people to protect, the home to protect, but in the end they failed to protect well.When I wanted to save it, I found that I couldn't go back to the past.

Uncle Qing quit his busy job and used his savings to buy a house halfway up the mountain. He stayed with his wife to recuperate, hoping that his wife would gradually get better.Unfortunately, a year later, his wife's condition has not improved.

On the wedding anniversary, Uncle Qing accompanied his wife to buy new clothes. When passing by a toy store, his wife stopped in her tracks, and she was rarely sober.

She said that when the child died, he was still holding a small toy in his hand.

Uncle Qing asked his wife if she came into the store to buy toys. The wife shook her head. She just stood by the display case and stared at the toys silently.

After a while, it rained heavily, and the kind clerk invited Uncle Qing and his wife into the store to shelter from the rain.Sitting in the store, the wife looked at those toys, as if remembering her lovely child, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

The slight change in expression is a great comfort to Uncle Qing.

The next day, Uncle Qing accompanied his wife to the toy store again, but his wife still didn't want to buy toys. She liked looking at those toys and the happy smiling faces of children holding toys.

Uncle Qing discussed with the clerk and gave the clerk a fee so that his wife could sit in the toy store every day.The clerk told him that this matter must be discussed with the store manager.

At that time, the manager of the toy store was Mr. Lin.

Mr. Lin agreed to Uncle Qing's request, but he didn't take the money from Uncle Qing, but asked Uncle Qing to design toy drawings in exchange for his wife's time in the store.

Uncle Qing hesitated a little.

Mr. Lin told him that the toy store needs a toy that can not only make children happy, but also make mothers who have lost their children smile.

Uncle Qing may be able to complete this design.

Uncle Qing thought for a moment, and agreed to the terms of exchange given by Mr. Lin.

In the past few years, from drawing design drafts to craftsmen, Uncle Qing's life has gradually stabilized in toys.

Mr. Lin provided Uncle Qing with a salary so that he could make toys without worrying about living expenses.

Uncle Qing didn't know whether he had designed the kind of toy Mr. Lin was looking forward to at first, but he knew that his wife's condition was gradually improving. Turn back.

When she was in a good mood, she would even stay by Uncle Qing's side to watch his sculptures and discuss with him.

Uncle Qing made toys for the toy store, and also made toys for his wife. His wife's smiling face made him very happy.Therefore, Uncle Qing's toys will always inadvertently reveal a sense of warmth, protecting the warmth of his family.

When the wife's heart knot is slowly untied and her emotions are completely stabilized, the wife's physical condition and age are no longer suitable for childbearing.

Their family is missing a child.

Qingci is the son of Uncle Qing's younger sister, the child whom Uncle Qing and his wife love ten minutes.Uncle Qing's younger sister is not in good health, and the situation of her husband's family is very complicated and difficult to deal with.Sometimes, Uncle Qing's younger sister would send Qing Ci to his brother to take care of him temporarily.

The ability to draw and paint Qingci was completely taught by Uncle Qing. Uncle Qing taught him a lot of knowledge and promoted Qingci's learning path.

After her younger sister died of illness, her husband's family ignored Qingci. Uncle Qing wanted to take care of Qingci, but Qingci disappeared without a word.It was a long time later that Uncle Qing learned that Qing Ci went abroad to study.

Now that Qingci came back suddenly, Uncle Qing couldn't ask him what happened.This toy store is almost half of Uncle Qing's home, and if Qing Ci stays here for the time being, he can feel a little relieved.

Unfortunately, the fortunes of toy stores have been going from bad to worse lately.

Seeing that Lin Su insisted on not giving up, Uncle Qing certainly supported him, and a little bit of trouble and threats were nothing to him.

"Master," Uncle Qing took the sketchbook in Lin Su's hand, "Your drawing is missing one thing, but it has one more thing."

It was rare that Uncle Qing was willing to discuss the drawing with Lin Su, and Lin Su naturally listened attentively.

Uncle Qing pointed to the sun god in the sketchbook, which had been changed again and again: "Your sketches are full of anxiety, very anxious, this kind of mood is not suitable for creation."

Lin Su nodded and asked, "There's too much anxiety, what's missing?"

The missing part is what Lin Su cares about, and he feels that it is these that make his sketches incomplete.

However, Uncle Qing smiled and didn't tell him the answer.

Lin Su broke into a cold sweat, hey, don't wait for someone who bullies the young master like this.

Uncle Qing unhurriedly took out two movie tickets: "A friend sent movie tickets, and Qingci really wanted to see it, but my wife and I have an appointment tonight. Young master, relaxing yourself occasionally is good for finding inspiration."

Lin Su choked up speechlessly. Are you sure Uncle Qing is not playing tricks on him?

Could it be that Uncle Qing didn't know what was missing from the drawing?

Before Lin Su agreed, Uncle Qing waved the movie ticket and shouted at Qing Ci: "Xiao Ci, young master is going to watch a movie tonight, you can go with him."

Qingci moved the position of the toy and said yes.

Lin Su stared at Uncle Qing silently. Uncle Qing smiled and lowered his voice: "Master, it is easy for young people to communicate with each other. The reason why Xiaoci returned to China..."

Uncle Qing didn't continue talking, Lin Su raised his eyes and saw that Qingci had already walked over.Even if Uncle Qing didn't go on, Lin Su understood Uncle Qing's intentions.

However, Uncle Qing didn't ask why his nephew returned to China. As an outsider, Lin Su didn't speak much in Qing Ci, so how could he pry out a few words.

Lin Su took the movie ticket from Uncle Qing's hand speechlessly, his expression froze.

Movie tickets for the first show at midnight.

Shang Yuze's posthumous work "True Love is Silent".

Lin Su's hands trembled slightly, and he almost couldn't hold the movie ticket securely.
