Cleanliness

In the middle of the year, Xiao Tong's store received several strange orders.

At the beginning, there were two teenage girls, student-like, one with ponytails and the other with bangs and shawl hair, both carrying small and exquisite backpacks, standing at the door of the store and looking around.

At this time, Chen Hui had mastered the basic skills, and most of the casual work in the store could be entrusted to her. Xiao Tong started to carry the drawing board on his back to collect pictures and draw pictures. He went out early in the morning and came back after painting the sunrise. Seeing the two little girls standing at the door to inquire, Xiao Tong was afraid of scaring them, so he deliberately stepped heavily so that they could hear the sound of him coming.

When the little girl heard someone coming, she turned her head immediately, and Xiao Tong smiled at them, "Hi, may I ask you something?"

"We...we are here to discuss business with the shop owner." The girl with ponytails boldly puffed out her chest and said loudly.

"I am the owner." Xiao Tong's smile remained unchanged, and he invited them in, "Sit inside."

The two girls looked at each other and discussed for a while before going in. Xiao Tong asked Chen Hui to come out and pour water for them.

Xiao Tong was afraid that they would be uncomfortable talking with him, after all there was a difference in age, Chen Hui and them were of the same age, with her around, they were not so restrained.

"What business do you two want to discuss, please tell me." Xiao Tong said.

"Well, are you a tailor?" the girl with the ponytail asked.

Without waiting for Xiao Tong to answer, Chen Hui rushed to answer, "Yes, yes, she is my master, I am her apprentice, and we are both tailors. Why, you two want to learn tailoring too? Let me tell you, that is impossible. , I am my master's closed disciple! Closed disciples, do you know? It means that my master only accepts me as an apprentice in this life, and you are late..."

"Chen Hui..." Xiao Tong held his forehead, "Let the guest finish talking."

"...Alright then." Chen Hui said aggrievedly, "Then tell me."

"Master tailor, can you come here to make custom pictures?" The ponytail girl took out a tablet computer from her backpack, opened a few pictures and showed Xiao Tong, "Here, this is the kind."

Xiao Tong leaned over and took a look. It was a few cartoon characters. Xiao Tong glanced at the clothes on the drawing. Both the style and the color matching were exaggerated. She was a little surprised, "You mean the clothes in the custom-made pictures?"

"Yes, yes." The ponytail girl said, "Sister Tailor, can you do this?"

It can be done, but it needs to be restored according to the original design on the picture. The construction period of one set is at least three months, and these sets of clothes are all in the shape of a large wedding dress, which is more troublesome than a set of custom-made dresses. , the most important thing is that Xiao Tong has the basic principles of being a designer. Without the authorization of the original designer, she can't do such a thing by using her design drafts to make clothes to make money.

"Sorry, we don't accept such customized drawings for the time being."

"why?"

"The shape is complicated and the cost is extremely high. Besides, I don't think the original designer wants anyone to use his design draft to make clothes casually."

"But this is not a design draft, it's just a drawing of people." The girl with ponytails was puzzled, "Sister Tailor, we don't use this clothes to make money, we play cosplay, and the club needs to rehearse a stage play to participate in the competition. But these sets of clothes are not in stock online. I found several tailors on the Internet, and they all said that the construction period is full, so I came to you to ask. Besides, this is not a design draft, it is just a human design. It’s just a picture, how can there be a designer.”

"Even if it is a human-made picture, there will be an author. I believe that no author would like others to steal his work and characters casually. Sorry, this is a matter of principle."

"Oh, okay, thank you sister tailor, sorry for bothering you."

The two girls left in disappointment. After they left for a long time, Xiao Tong remembered to ask Chen Hui, "What cos are they talking about?"

"It's cosplay, Master, you don't even know about this?"

Xiao Tong thought, what is cosplay?

"Master, you know anime, right? Aren't there many characters in it? There are a lot of people who like these characters, and they dress themselves up like those characters. This is called cosplay."

Seeing that Xiao Tong was still in a daze, Chen Hui simply opened the browser and searched for a few pictures to show Xiao Tong, "Look, it's like this."

Xiao Tong casually flipped through a few sheets and said, "Understood."

"What do you think?"

Xiao Tong said: "It's interesting to have authorization, but it's a violation of the law without authorization."

"There are still people who make money with this. How many of those who make money don't know it's illegal? It's just that there are too many people like this. Can the animation company sue them? Just turn a blind eye and close one eye, and say that they are like this Cos, it is also a disguised form to help the animation publicity, it is a win-win situation, if there is a company that is so obsessed with you, Master, I am afraid it will have closed down long ago."

"I can't control others, I just need to take care of myself. All right, don't just chat and not work, and want to be lazy, right?"

Xiao Tong pretended to kick Chen Hui, and kicked her back to continue drawing proofs, making Chen Hui feel sad.

This year, Chen Hui was able to make some basic shapes of clothing, and it looked decent. Chen Hui was a smart and motivated child. After getting started, he learned things quickly. Much easier than last year.

Another year passed, and at the beginning of spring next year, Mo Xiyuan told Xiao Tong that he was engaged.

"With whom?" Xiao Tong asked.

"Yu Qingming."

"Do you love him?"

"Ah."

"That's fine, sister, as long as you live well."

Xiao Tong has heard about the things between Mo Xiyuan and Yu Qingming. Mo Xiyuan is a very assertive person. Since she has made a decision, it means that she has identified this person in her heart. Xiao Tong only needs to wish her happiness. .

Life is one's own, no matter how outsiders see the situation, fortunately or not, after all, only the person concerned knows it.

Mo Xiyuan and Yu Qingming got married in May. The wedding was very grand. It was hotly searched on the Internet for several days. Xiao Tong did not go to their wedding, but prepared for Mo Xiyuan according to the traditional customs of Shangrong. Three golds, it can be regarded as a little thought from her mother's family.

Another year later, Mo Xi gave birth to a baby, and she was already an advanced mother when she gave birth. Xiao Tong was worried, and flew back to Jiang Yu from the day she found out that Mo Xi was pregnant, and handed over the shop to Chen Hui.

During Mo Xiyuan's pregnancy, Yu Qingming almost put off most of her work to take care of her food and daily life, and never pretended to others. Small things can best tell people's sincerity. Yu Qingming's concern for Mo Xiyuan is obvious to Xiao Tong Here, he also looks differently at his brother-in-law, who is not very likable.

As Mo Xiyuan's sister-in-law, Yu Qinghan also came to visit several times during Mo Xiyuan's pregnancy, and after meeting Xiao Tong twice, she consciously stopped coming. Even Mo Xiyuan couldn't help feeling, People do grow up.

Xiao Tong thought, for a person in his 30s, is it something to be proud of when he grows up?

The day Mo Xiyuan gave birth was a bit dangerous.

Her original intention was to have a normal delivery, but the baby was a bit big and difficult to deliver, so she changed to a caesarean section halfway, Yu Qingming went in to accompany the delivery, Xiao Tong and Yu Qinghan were watching outside, very anxious, Xiao Tong was so anxious that he walked around the delivery room, wishing he could I can rush in right away.

After the operation, the nurse came out and told Xiao Tong that the operation went well and the mother and daughter were safe. Xiao Tong breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes darkened, his legs felt weak, and he almost fell to the ground. It was Yu Qinghan who supported Xiao Tong in time. After Xiao Tong stood still, Yu Qinghan immediately let go.

"Thank you." Xiao Tong said.

Yu Qinghan said: "Let's go and see Miss Xiyuan first."

When Xiao Tong entered the delivery room, Yu Qinghan's whole body softened.

This is the moment Yu Qinghan is closest to Xiao Tong in the past three years.

This year, it has become Yu Qinghan's habit to guard Xiao Tong and maintain such an indifferent sense of proportion. Sometimes, Yu Qinghan even has the illusion that he can put Xiao Tong down calmly.

Until the moment when she hugged Xiao Tong just now, Yu Qinghan's heart was about to jump out, she almost couldn't hold back, and rubbed Xiao Tong into her arms.

Can't let go, Yu Qinghan thought painfully.

Xiao Tong didn't have as much thought as Yu Qinghan, she had long forgotten about that little episode, and she just wanted to see if her sister was doing well.

When Xiao Tong entered, Mo Xiyuan was lying on the hospital bed, his expression was quite calm, but it was Yu Qingming who kept holding Mo Xiyuan's hand and refused to let go. He stared at Mo Xiyuan without saying a word, The eyeballs are all red, obviously crying, Yu Qinghan who entered the delivery room after Xiao Tong was stunned for a moment.

In Yu Qinghan's memory, her brother is a very tough person. Since she was a child, Yu Qinghan has heard her father teach Yu Qingming that a man should stand upright. Ever since she can remember, Yu Qinghan has hardly seen Yu Qingming shed a tear .

When Yu Qinghan was naughty when she was a child, she insisted on jumping down from the balcony on the second floor. In order to catch her, Yu Qingming suffered serious fractures in both hands, and the pain caused sweat to profuse on her forehead. Yu Qinghan was so frightened that she burst into tears. On the contrary, Yu Qingming was able to comfort his sister with a smile.

This is Yu Qingming who bleeds but not tears. At this moment, holding Mo Xiyuan's hand, his red eyes were full of panic and fright. Instead, Mo Xiyuan smiled at him calmly and comforted him: "I said I'm fine, why are you crying?"

Yu Qingming didn't say a word, Xiao Tong saw the raised veins on his forehead.

"Go and see the child." Mo Xiyuan said to Yu Qingming, "I have suffered such a great crime to give birth to her, and I don't even know what she looks like. Go and see her, and tell me by the way, Does she look good?"

Yu Qingming said: "No."

Yu Qingming rejected this child almost instinctively, it was her, and Mo Xiyuan almost gave up half his life. The birth of the child did not make Yu Qingming feel half happy. If it wasn't for the fact that both the Mo family and the Yu family needed an heir, Yu Qingming would rather this child had never been here.

"Let me go." Yu Qinghan said haha, "Brother, sister Xiyuan, you guys rest for a while, I'll go see my niece."

"I'll go too." Xiao Tong went out with Yu Qinghan.

This moment only belonged to Mo Xiyuan and Yu Qingming, anyone present would be an interruption.

This newborn little girl almost cost Mo Xiyuan half her life, but she is very healthy. It is estimated that she stayed in her mother's womb for eleven months before she came out. She was like no other child at all when she was born. Wrinkled and ugly like a monkey, but pink and tender, petite and cute, Xiao Tong loves it from the bottom of his heart when he sees it.

Yu Qinghan couldn't help feeling, "It's so beautiful."

Even though Xiao Tong is tired of Yu Qinghan, he has to admit that this child is really good-looking.

The author has something to say: rush to the list, want to vomit blood, want to finish.
