Chapter 74: What is lacking makes up for it
Under the expectant gaze of his cheap son, Shiraishi calmly made up:
"Because it is too dangerous for children to work outside alone, children's work must be introduced by parents."
As he spoke, he took out his hand and flipped through it solemnly, stopping at a certain page:
"It just so happens that I recently took two jobs at the same time, and I can give you one of them."
"Good!" Akio Sugie couldn't wait to nod his head, and stood on tiptoe to peek at the book in Shiraishi's hand, but unfortunately there was too much difference in height and he didn't see anything.
Soon, Akio Sugie became weak again, although he only learned by chance yesterday that he was very talented, but he usually practiced very seriously, even if he got a job, could he really meet the requirements of the customer......
"This is Mr. Manaka's order, he wants a childlike and energetic work, and it is just right for you to paint it."
Bai Shi casually made up a name and made up a request, and then put away the notebook and looked at him seriously:
"If the other party is satisfied, you will have more job opportunities in the future."
Akio Sugie clenched his small fists and nodded vigorously.
But soon, he remembered something and looked out the door:
"But isn't Mr. Manaka a painter himself, so why do you want us to paint? Is he not good enough? ”
Painter? Shiraishi was stunned.
Islanders like to nail a small sign in front of their homes and write their surnames.
A large part of the reason why Shiraishi would make up the name "Manaka" was that when he was standing at the window and looking out, he saw the door number of the neighbor's house diagonally opposite.
Akio Sugie hadn't seen a few "Mr. Manaka" in total, so he thought that the customer Shiraishi said was the neighbor nearby.
But this man is actually a painter?
Painter → art, art + true → [The confused person who jumps back and forth between art and money]
A series of thoughts flashed quickly, but Shiraishi still couldn't believe it.
…… Could it be that his neighbor is the fat boss he met yesterday.
However, the surname Manaka is not uncommon.
And Sugie Xu is an artist, so his neighbor may also be an artist...... Shiraishi tried hard to round out the logic, but in the end he couldn't make it up.
In the end, he decided to take the time to visit another day to see what was going on.
Seeing that Shiraishi didn't answer his question, Akio Sugie thought that he had asked something stupid, or had inadvertently asked about some trade secrets in the adult world.
He was a little cowardly, and he asked casually, but he didn't really want an answer. Soon, Akio Sugue's attention returned to making money.
Holding his schoolbag, he went straight to the study, took out the painting tools that had caused headaches when he saw them, and put all his energy into his new "work".
Shiraishi came back to his senses, walked to the entrance, opened the door and looked out. The real house on the opposite side is pulling the curtains, and I don't know if there is anyone.
Of course, even if there is, you can't run right now.
At least I'll have to wait until tomorrow to ask Mrs. Sugie to make some desserts, or buy a souvenir, and then think of a suitable reason to come to the door. Otherwise, it always feels a little strange to suddenly pass empty-handed.
It is the world consciousness that builds the virtual world, and in order not to make the soul suspicious, the scenes here will be restored according to the past situation, and then changed according to the will of the "protagonist".
Although it is not exactly the same as the real world, the basic things are not far behind, and from here, you may be able to get a glimpse of many things that cannot be seen in the real world.
At the foot of the white stone, the puppeteer finally crawled out from under the linen rag, which was several times larger than him.
It stood up and looked left and right: "Where did the kid go?" ”
Shiraishi pointed to the study.
On the puppeteer's face, the black line mouth turned into an "O" shape, and after a while it said, "Doesn't he hate painting the most?" How to ......"
Shiraishi picked up the rag and threw it back on top of the shoe cabinet:
"You asked too much before, you can't draw this, you can't draw that. Originally, children don't hate drawing too much, but your son makes you annoyed when you see paper. ”
“…… Bastard, it's not good to learn anything, learn to be rebellious! The puppeteer walked to the study with his hands behind his back and swearing.
Shiraishi was worried that it would make some kind of supernatural phenomenon of tearing the manuscript and dropping the pen, so he followed it uneasily, but this time, the puppet was much quieter than he imagined. It stood in the doorway and didn't go in, with a deep face, not knowing what it was thinking.
After whispering a few words to remind the puppet to pay attention to the impact, Shiraishi turned and walked back to the bedroom.
It's been less than a week since I came to Kexue World, and although I have experienced a virtual world, I don't know who fast-forwarded the inconsequential time, and when it comes together, Baishi's actual experience is only more than half a month.
He has not fully adapted to life without a mobile phone, and the complication of boredom is sleepiness, and he will always be attracted to the bed unconsciously.
Shiraishi climbed into bed as he wished, and lay down for a while, and in a not too heavy dream, Shiraishi felt that someone was touching his forehead.
As soon as he opened his eyes, before he could wake up, he saw a figure leaning over beside him, his face unclear in the light of his back, like his mother who was about to lift his quilt when he was about to be late for school.
Bai Shi almost jumped up and down with a salted fish, but before he could exert himself, he heard an unfamiliar voice sound:
"I thought you had a fever, why do you always lie down? Is there anything uncomfortable? ”
“…… No, I'll just lie down for a while. ”
Shiraishi looked calm and wanted to sit up, but as soon as his elbow was propped up on the bed, Sugie Ayami put her hands on his shoulders and pressed him back again.
She bent down and sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Shiraishi with meek eyes:
"Don't worry about changing careers, you're going to have to go through some setbacks all over again. We still have a lot of savings, if you are stressed, we can not build a house first, just wait a few years, when our son grows up, you can also listen to his advice. ”
It turns out that Ayami Sugie was thinking about this...... It's quite sensitive, and she just decided not to change careers, and she immediately felt that something was wrong.
Well, it can't be ruled out that there is too much difference between himself and Sugie Xu.
Although Shiraishi didn't have an in-depth understanding of what kind of person Sugie Xu was, judging from the time he got along, Shiraishi really couldn't imagine what it was like for him to sleep lazily in the daytime.
…… It's better to pay more attention, at least in this virtual world, the people next to you are real.
Thinking of this, Shiraishi took out Sugie Xu's appearance, brushed her hand away and sat up - sure enough, it was happier to look down at the perspective.
Then he also patted Sugie Ayami twice on the shoulder:
"Don't worry, everything is going well, I'm just looking for inspiration for my next piece.
"A few days ago, I heard a colleague say that being in a half-asleep state can stimulate people's subconscious to the maximum extent and get creative inspiration, and I am just listening to his advice to try this new model."
"I see." Sugie Ayami nodded again and again, in fact, she didn't understand too much, but her husband, an insider, said so, so it must be true.
Since the other party did not encounter setbacks, she was much more relieved.
Sugie Ayami stood up briskly, pursed her lips and smiled at Shiraishi:
"I'm going to go grocery shopping first, and if you have something to worry about, don't always be on your own, huh...... Although you can handle things well every time, in fact, you can rely on me a little more. ”
After saying that, she held Shiraishi's head, kissed him lightly on the center of his eyebrows, and turned to leave.
Shiraishi touched his head, a little confused, did the housewife still work as a part-time psychological tutor......
Although he was completely psychologically fine, he was in a really good mood when he heard the call.
Thinking of this, he glanced down at the puppeteer, and Shiraishi was startled.
The pale brown doll has become pink and tender at some point.
Shiraishi poked it in surprise, and it snorted angrily and crawled under the pillow.
"...... "Why are you suddenly so girly, you have collapsed Uncle Mediterranean!"
…… That being said, the hair is fine now, Shiraishi thought and touched the top of his head.
Akio Sugie is five years old, and this body is almost in his twenties now.
I don't know if baldness is a regret in life, just in case, I have to buy something that Sugie Xu doesn't eat often in a few days, and lie to him that it is a secret treasure of hair care.
