Chapter 136 Chapter 136
On New Year's Eve, Xiao Wang and Xiao Liu took the children to buy clothes.
It is said that the new year is getting less and less tasteful, and a large part of it has something to do with the shopping malls that are still operating normally.It was the first time I went to the mall today, and it was crowded with people, as if it was just a simple holiday.
Xiao Wang chose a high-end shopping mall, with a wide range of products, which made Zhao Zhao and Mu Mu very excited, but these are things that everyone is very familiar with, and brands that Xiao Liu doesn't know at all.
Twilight is becoming more and more girlish, refusing to come out of the cosmetics counter.Looking at all kinds of lipsticks of similar colors, Xiao Wang was dizzy, and Xiao Liu could distinguish the color very accurately.
"Sure enough, people who know how to paint have a different sense of color." Mu Mu smiled and carried a large bag of cosmetics, leaning on Xiao Liu's shoulder, extremely happy.
Zhao Zhao and Mu Mu have different styles and prefer to buy clothes.Unlike Xiao Liu, whose limbs become weak and dizzy as soon as he buys clothes, and he can't wait to sit next to a group of forgotten husbands, Xiao Wang runs around happily choosing clothes for the children.
Xiao Liu was happy watching Xiao Wang choose clothes for the children, but when it came time for Xiao Wang to choose clothes for himself, Xiao Liu wanted to retreat.
"It's a great time, why don't you do something." In the dressing room, seeing that these two pieces of clothes basically didn't have any other clothes, Xiao Liu didn't understand why he had to design so many styles.
"It's pretty, let's buy them all." After Xiao Wang finished speaking, Zhao Zhao and Mu Mu nodded and turned into typewriters. Xiao Liu hurriedly picked up the navy blue one and said, "This is good."
But in the end, Xiao Liu's resistance was useless, because Xiao Wang wrapped both of them.
"Clothes, you still have to try them out, otherwise they won't fit." In the front, Xiao Wang held Zhao Zhao's arm, and Mu Mu and Xiao Liu were carrying the clothes in the back. It was just like this, and Xiao Liu suddenly found that Zhao Zhao was already better than Xiao Wang. He is tall, not to mention that Xiao Wang still wears shoes with heels, and Zhao Zhao has a flat bottom.
"Zhao Zhao, how tall are you? Now."
"178?" After Zhaozhao finished speaking, Xiao Wang's face changed from surprise to horror, and finally his cheeks pricked up, and his puffer fish status went online.
"So, you can just take Zhaozhao for shopping... just buy one size bigger than him, my shoulders are wider than Zhaozhao's. I... the editor has something to do with me... I'll go to the bookstore to deal with it... "Xiao Liu pursed his lips and smiled, took the bag from Zhaozhao's hand, immediately oiled the soles of his feet, turned to the right, and entered a bookstore, feeling alive.
It's not a bookstore like the Book Building, but a book cafe. Because of the Chinese New Year, the bookstore with few people is even more deserted.After putting down his things and ordering coffee to occupy the seat, Xiao Liu got up and went inside for a walk.
Bookstores in business districts naturally don't have any professional books.Approaching the best-selling book recommendation area, Xiao Liu saw at a glance that "Will Love" occupies half of the country, and the cover is a whale skeleton lying in the mountains and flowers.
The concept of this cover was proposed by Xiao Wang. In order to draw the whale skeleton on the picture, Xiao Liu went to the Museum of the Ruin Kingdom to visit, and bought books related to whale illustrations and animal bones.
Xiao Wang's cover usually has a special meaning, such as a whale fall, such as a whale bone cemetery, and various flowers swaying in the wind. Together, although there is a hint of weirdness, it is extremely beautiful.
High standards and strict requirements have also resulted in the amount of work for painting no smaller than writing books for twins.
This painting is watercolor, A3 size, and finally sent to the publishing house in its entirety, and Xiao Liu did not keep the original manuscript.
On the second display cabinet, Xiao Liu saw "Duo Duo and You You's Daily" and "Ban Xia Zhi Xia" side by side. Half a month ago, "Ban Xia Zhi Xia" was still occupying half of the best-selling list. It has been overshadowed by "Will Love".
"Daily Life of Duoduo and Youyou" was drawn by Xiao Liu who couldn't bear the coercion and lure of the editor. Some very simple fragments, in quiet words, are "cookies". The book has 128 pages and a 16K version.Perhaps because the paintings are more cute, they sold well, although they are not as good as the complete health care works of the twins next to them.
On the health care counter next to it, the books of Jin Chuyi and Jin Shiwu are lined up side by side, with the words No. 11 printed. On the title page, apart from the photos and introductions of the two brothers, there is a small line below with Liu You's introduction.
Originally, when it was republished, the editor wanted to include Xiao Liu's photo, but Xiao Liu refused.
Picking up "The Daily Life of Duoduo and Youyou", Xiao Liu also heard two little girls discussing when they could watch the second episode, but Xiao Liu knew very well that there would be no.Not only will there not be a second season, but even the first edition will be out of print and will not be printed again.
Just last summer vacation, Duoduo and Yoyo's Daily were regarded as competing products by a huge animation group, and they came to discuss the acquisition repeatedly.
In the end, with the help of Aunt Zhang's company, Duoduo and Yoyo got married at a good price.Xiao Liu understood that the company would never enable this IP, and bought it just to kill it.As the author, Xiao Liu not only cannot continue to draw this series of pictures, but he cannot even publicly declare that he is the author.
So far, the authors of Duoduo and Yoyo are a mystery, they have never been interviewed, no one has released photos, such a mysterious existence.
Now that I read this book, I really feel like marrying my daughter, and I am reluctant to give up, but Xiao Liu needs that money.
When he saw the price offered by the other party, Xiao Liu really counted it carefully before he realized how much it was.When the money arrived, Xiao Liu's hands were shaking while holding the card.If the salary of a doctor is followed, it will take several lifetimes to earn enough money at this time.
That sum of money, Xiao Liu gave all of it to Xiao Wang, according to the "salary handed over" as mentioned before.Xiao Liu understands that he is not a saint. He must first satisfy his family's food and clothing before he can consider others.
However, the caring Xiao Wang divided the money into several parts, one part was left to Zhao Zhao and Mu Mu; the other part was saved to Dr. Ming's family, and it was given to him when Xiao Ming's child grew up.After discussing the last part, the two decided to donate it to the disaster area.Xiao Wang left nothing behind.
Faced with such an approach, Xiao Liu was very moved. After so many years, it is still Xiao Wang who understands himself.
In this way, after entrusting the money to a special fund, the foundation also made a detailed plan, part of it was used to subsidize poor students in urban areas, and the other part was used as nutrition expenses for children in poor areas. 2 bucks will fill you up and 4 bucks will get the kids a decent lunch.Xiao Liu still remembers the sense of happiness brought by a full meal.
After returning to his seat with the book, Xiao Liu just opened it, and several people came to buy Jiangai.It was only after listening to the clerk's explanation that Xiao Liu realized that today is the first day that the novel "Jiang Ai" will be released.There are two versions of the special bookmark of the novel, one is Wen Cun and the other is Zhao Zhao.
Xiao Liu opened the plastic seal, glanced at the girdle that said "the film of the same name will be released soon", and pulled out the bookmark, it was gentle.
Looking at Wen Cun's bookmark, Xiao Liu's mood is a little bit complicated now, and what floats in front of his eyes are the medicines in Wen Cun's home.I don't know if the text is too depressing, or I always think of Xiao Feng, Xiao Liu let go of his love and opened the summer of pinellia.
Although they are all Xiao Wang's different vests, the writing styles of the humble dog and the steel cat are very different.The writing under the pseudonym Steel Cat is very elegant but delicate. With the right light and strong coffee in the bookstore, reading is a kind of enjoyment.When Xiao Liu came back to his senses, he suddenly found that the music in the bookstore was playing the song "S'ilsuffisaitd'aimer", and Xiao Liu quickly turned a few pages forward. Coincidentally, the lyrics of this song also appeared in the book.
Xiao Liu couldn't help laughing when he saw it.
"Okay, handsome guy, stop emitting hormones here, you haven't seen people taking pictures all the time." With Xiao Wang's voice, when countless shopping bags were placed in front of him, Xiao Liu didn't know whether he should sigh the two of them The ability to shop, or the ubiquitous snapshots really give Xiao Liu a headache.
"Have you bought everything?" Xiao Liu shook the book in his hand, ""Jiang Ai" is on the market."
"I've bought it. I'll have a good time tonight. I'll go to my uncle's house tomorrow to celebrate the New Year." Xiao Wang stretched his waist and sat next to Xiao Liu: "Do you know... the novels written by the dog, add up It's not as good as the one sold by Steel Cat... I hope this time I can turn my love around."
Hearing Xiao Wang's words, Xiao Liu wanted to laugh very much.
When the four of them were sitting in the book cafe for a short rest, Zhao Zhao's cell phone rang suddenly.
"Hello...uh?" Zhao Zhao handed the phone to Xiao Liu after hearing a few words.
"Liu You."
"Eh?" Xiao Liu was also taken aback when he received the call, with a gentle voice.
"Let me ask you, that Jin Chuyi's lover is Mr. Li?" Wen Cun was puzzled, and Xiao Liu was even more puzzled, did Wen Cun not know about this?
"Why do you ask this?" Without answering directly, Xiao Liu asked back.
"That's it."
Before Xiao Liu could answer, Wen Cun hung up the phone.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Xiao Liu's nervous application, Xiao Wang asked.
"Call Uncle Gan and ask him what he is doing. Wen Cun called me just now, and I feel something is wrong." After Xiao Liu finished speaking, Xiao Wang quickly dialed Uncle Gan's phone number.
"Me? I'm with Xiao Shiwu, and I'm about to go home. What's the matter? Shiwu came back today, and we're outside." Uncle Gan's voice was rather noisy, as if he was outside.
"Is Wen Cun with you?" Xiao Wang asked back.
"No. What's the matter?"
"Uncle, if you see Wen Cun, please send us a message immediately. There is a problem. Wen Cun's current situation is very unstable."
"Okay, I understand."
After hooking up the phone, Xiao Wang was still a little uneasy.
"Otherwise, how about we go to Uncle Gan's house for the holiday tonight?" Seeing Xiao Wang's expression, Xiao Liu suggested.
"Okay, let's go." A group of people discussed and drove the car, just like the uncle's house.
Unexpectedly, halfway through the walk, the dry uncle suddenly sent a text message: "I'm not at the villa, we're in the house at Dengshikou."
"Dengshikou?? Uncle Gan doesn't have a house there..." After glancing at the text message, Xiao Wang cursed.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Liu, who was driving, asked.
"Uncle Gan asked us to go to Prince Zi's Mansion. Does he have a house there??" Xiao Wang looked confused. Uncle Gan had many houses, but he had never heard that there were houses there too.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Zhao Zhao, who was sitting at the back, answered: "Wen Cun has a house there? I even went to play."
Xiao Liu and Xiao Wang looked at each other and speeded up.
