081 years passed the pass
readx;? Tang Mingjia carried a live fish and some fresh ingredients and walked along the road to his home. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
His wife, Lin Hui, also carried some cooked food and walked beside him.
Their daughter was about to turn ten years old after the New Year, and she already had her own ideas and opinions, because her parents had not bought her the beautiful stuffed animal she had just seen, and the little girl was sulking at the moment, following far behind, and kicking the pebbles on the side of the road angrily as she walked.
"Linlin, hurry up, Mom and Dad have to go back to cook, and there will be guests coming later!" Lin Hui shouted at the little girl in a gentle tone.
There was a faint sadness between her eyebrows and eyes, even on such a festive day as the New Year, it didn't make her happier.
As the mother of the little girl, she couldn't be clearer about the little girl's thoughts, but it's not that she doesn't want to buy a Spring Festival gift for her daughter, it's just that the teddy bear that is simply sewn costs more than 200, which is not what their family can afford now.
Lin Lin walked up very reluctantly, Lin Hui wanted to hold her hand, but the little girl suddenly dodged away, pouted and said, "If you don't give me New Year's money, don't buy me toys?"
"Linlin, can your parents buy it for you on your birthday?" Lin Hui was a little sad.
"Lie to me again! Mother said the same thing last time! Don't you think about me?" Linlin said very aggrievedly, "Just like today, you buy vegetables for hundreds of dollars, and you don't satisfy me, I haven't had new toys for several years! What guests are more important than your daughters?"
Tang Mingjia and Lin Hui glanced at each other helplessly.
Tang Mingjia used to be a toy designer at Toy Toys.
The Zhao Yun figure owned by Meng Qi was the work designed by the team led by Tang Mingjia before.
Of course, this is only once. Five years ago, he left Fun Toys.
This is not a problem of Tang Mingjia's personal ability, but a fundamental deviation from his toy development concept with Letoy Toys.
When Tang Mingjia left Letoy Toys, it was a period when the development focus of the family business was significantly changed and adjusted. The year-on-year decline in toy sales has shifted the focus of Toplay Toys from high-end figures to educational toys, food toys and low-end toys that are more popular with primary school students.
As a toy designer with artistic pursuit and ingenuity, as a person who pinned his lifelong dream on toys, he could not bear such changes.
So he refused to keep Letoy Toys and ran away angrily, but in other toy companies, he did not stay as well as he wanted.
For a toy designer like him, who produces a model for as short as three or four months or as long as half a year, it is no longer so popular in large companies that are becoming more and more commoditized and assembly lines.
Everyone just wants to take advantage of the frenzy of anime craze to make as much quick money as possible in the market.
After several big toy companies tossed and turned, Tang Mingjia also gave up, and finally bit his teeth and heart, sold his previous big house, and opened an independent studio with money.
However, the studio is not so easy to run, he has the technical ability, but he is not good at management and marketing, coupled with the long production cycle, often when the figure is shipped, it can no longer attract everyone's attention, only a small part can be sold, and more is backlogged in the warehouse.
has no skills and ambitions, but there is nowhere to show them, Tang Mingjia, who has lost all his money, can only close the studio in the end, and he is depressed and idle at home.
Tang Mingjia did not have a job, and the whole family lived on the meager salary of his wife Lin Hui.
However, because of this, their family has changed from the previous middle-class level to now have to worry about two hundred yuan.
Their daughter Linlin also knows a thing or two about what happened in the house, but the little girl is sensible, even if she moves out of the previous big house, even if she doesn't have a few new clothes every year, she rarely complains.
But, after all, this is a child, and she can't be asked of an adult, so it's too normal to have some small emotions in the face of something she likes but can't get for a long time.
Tang Mingjia changed everything to carry in his left hand, then grabbed Linlin with his right hand, picked her up, and said, "Baby, don't be angry......
As a man, he couldn't make any promises like Lin Hui.
After all, he is now obsessed with pursuing his dreams, and he is the most useless person in the family......
Lin Lin buried her head in Tang Mingjia's neck, and said angrily: "Dad, you can buy me toys and new clothes when you go to work......
Lin Hui couldn't help but say: "Although Dad didn't go to work, he worked very hard, every day, you would be sad if you said that......
Lin Hui was right.
Tang Mingjia, a person who is stubborn to the point of tendon and is only willing to burn for his dreams, spends almost all the rest of his time at home every day, except for taking care of all the housework because of guilt, being responsible for buying vegetables, cooking, taking care of the children, and cleaning up the house.
In the one-bedroom apartment they rented, even the bathroom was full of his homework models.
He kept practicing, kept improving, just to be able to hit again one day.
"But when Dad goes to work, we'll have money!" Linlin said.
Lin Hui was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.
A trace of bitterness flashed in Tang Mingjia's eyes, but he was more helpless: "Yes...... So Dad will go to find a job after the New Year, okay?"
This is also the result of Tang Mingjia and Lin Hui's discussion for a long time, after all, the daughter is growing up day by day, and the family has too much time to spend, and Tang Mingjia has to make a compromise temporarily.
"Really?" Linlin finally became a little happy.
"Really......" Tang Mingjia hugged Linlin and continued to walk forward, "But, Linlin, you have to remember...... As a human being, no matter what you do, there are some things that are always more important than money...... For example, dream......"
The little girl said "um".
She doesn't understand these things now, and maybe in the future, she won't necessarily understand, but Tang Mingjia still said it.
It's more like a request to yourself.
…………
…………
Tang Mingjia and his wife took Linlin back to the tube building, and when they climbed down the dim corridor to the top floor, they saw two young people waiting by their door.
Probably because of the long wait, both of them sat on the stairs.
Beside them, there were several large bags, and I don't know what they contained.
One of them, a young man with some familiar faces, saw them, stood up and said with a smile: "Uncle Tang, it's been a long time......
Tang Mingjia immediately understood that this was the guest from the house today, and he was a little embarrassed, so he hurriedly walked up and said, "It's Ziming, right? I'm sorry to keep you waiting...... Why don't you make a phone call when you get there?"
"I did, but you didn't answer. ”
Tang Mingjia freed up a hand and touched the pocket on his body, and apologized a little embarrassed: "When I went out, I was in a hurry, and I threw my phone into the house, I'm really embarrassed to ......."
Du Ziming waved his hand, signaling that it didn't matter.
Tang Mingjia looked at Meng Qi, who stood up with Du Ziming, and asked with some confusion, "Who is this?"
Du Ziming introduced: "This is the new boss of Letoy Toys, Meng Qi!"
Tang Mingjia wants to play with toys and change the sky?
When did you have a new boss and still be so young...... He looked at Du Ziming's expression, and the other party obviously didn't look like he was joking......
Tang Mingjia didn't show his doubts on his face, just politely greeted Meng Qi, and then hurriedly opened the door and let Du Ziming and Meng Qi in.
