The weekend traffic jam is extremely high, and not only are cars to the city overcrowded, but the situation is not much better for those who go from the city to the countryside. Shi Jiaojiao received calls from Chen Li and Lao Liu, both reminding her to set off early, she told the truth that she was already on the way, but two hours later, she was still on the bus, and finally drove to a town not far from the city.

When I went to her town for one night, the red sun fell on the horizon like a salted egg yolk, and the yellow flowed all over the sky. Shi Jiaojiao hurried to Xia Lei's house, only to find that the other three were not there, only Ah Qian, Uncle Fang and the two aunts who took care of the children were busy with housework. Xiao Fuxing was eating apple puree, and rushed towards Shi Jiaojiao with a small bowl to let her feed, and her aunt hugged An An and smiled: "Kiss my aunt." Shi Jiaojiao took Xiao Fuxing's bowl, took the child into her arms by the way, and was busy calling Chen Li.

"What's going on, people?" Shi Jiaojiao asked, there was a noise on the phone, Chen Li didn't know who she was shouting "don't don't" to before replying: "You're here?" Shi Jiaojiao touched Xiao Fuxing's head and rolled her eyes, "It's not like you're urging your life!" I'm here by bus, what about you? Chen Li laughed, "How did you know that the road was so congested!" I sent Chen Pengpeng over, and before leaving home, I said that I was good, and when I left, the ghost cried wolf and wanted to come back with me, and five or six adults coaxed me to reluctantly coax, and told me with tears in their eyes not to forget to pick him up! ”

Shi Jiaojiao smacked her lips when she heard this, "You have to send it today, you can't celebrate your aunt's birthday!" "Ugh!" Chen Li may have explained many times, Shi Jiaojiao became impatient when she talked about it, and said angrily: "It's not that Wang Jiawei who wants to take him to Disney, the tickets are bought in advance!" Otherwise, it's useless to coax! Shi Jiaojiao stabilized Xiao Fuxing, who was writhing because she couldn't eat, and said, "Okay, I won't tell you, hurry up!" The two of them are not at home either, so I guess they went to the studio, so I'll take a look. "Okay."

"Ahh As soon as Xiao Fuxing saw Shi Jiaojiao put away the phone, he grinned with a small mouth full of clear saliva, and shook the small spoon in his hand vigorously. Shi Jiaojiao smiled and called "baby", handed the bag on her knee to the aunt who came over, scraped a small ball of pulp in her hand, sent it to the little guy's mouth, and turned her head to ask the aunt of the sixth family: "Where is An An?" The aunt took the big leather bag of Shi Jiaojiao and replied, "Sleep!" Aunt Fuxing went to help in the kitchen, I looked at Fuxing, I was afraid that he would go to make trouble! ”

"An An!" Swallowing a little fruit paste, Xiao Fuxing seemed to hear some password, and kicked the little short legs happily while learning the words of adults, Shi Jiaojiao and Aunt looked at each other and smiled, Shi Jiaojiao said: "Our little princess brothers like it!" After feeding Xiao Fuxing, Shi Jiaojiao stood up, and her aunt took the bowl and spoon and said, "You are going now, just pick them up." Shi Jiaojiao nodded in agreement, looked down and saw Xiao Fuxing holding her calf, and couldn't help laughing: "You want to go too?" "Mom! Yay, yes! ”

"You want to go too?" Shi Jiaojiao looked at Xiao Fuxing's big grape-like eyes, bent over and hugged him with all her might, step by step bluestone slabs, and walked towards the front hall, and her aunt followed behind. Walking out of the high threshold, the aunt held a pastel-colored puppet in her hand, stood in front of Xiao Fuxing, and lured him back to her arms. Shi Jiaojiao realized that the child wanted to be hugged by her aunt, and bent over to send the child over. The aunt held Xiao Fuxing, stuffed the doll into his hand, and said to Shi Jiaojiao: "There are all materials there, and there is polished dust, so the baby is not allowed to go." Shi Jiaojiao nodded, watched Xiao Fuxing return to the house, and then walked to the studio.

There has always been an abandoned factory next to the town middle school, which is said to be one of the first chemical companies to be driven away by the local government when it promoted industrial upgrading and cooperated with the development of a circular economy in the surrounding towns. From the outside, the red walls and black tiles, the rows of triangular ventilation windows, and the long-term disrepair of the decadent industrial wind are blowing in the face. Years of idleness have made the suspicious environmental hazards here naturally metabolized, coupled with the middle school, the quiet location is excellent, and it is gradually favored by people with brains like Xia Lei, forming a new small cave.

You can't see the true face of this huge factory from the street, and from the winding path next to the middle school wall, you find the hidden gate, only to find that there are already a lot of new things inside! There are listed after-school tutoring, unique specialty training classes in the store, as well as stationery, book and newspaper stores, jewelry stores that cater to children's preferences, dollhouses, etc., a small cultural and sports market has been issued a scale. Xia Lei's rented workspace was in the equipment operation area of the factory at that time, in the deepest place, and it was also the largest and most difficult place to modify.

It's not a retrofit at all, but the place has been completely renewed. Xia Lei moved the design and production, including the pre- and post-production contacts, and all the work content was moved here. She did not spend a lot of money to decorate this workshop, but followed the original temperament of the house, skillfully used her designer's mind, and used various materials and space partitions to form an exquisite structure. The whole space is open, and the sound of paper slapping and grinding wood all mix together naturally and does not feel noisy.

In a corner of the studio, Xia Lei separated a separate space for the sixth child, and the work on numbers and documents still needs a stable environment, and the sixth person himself likes to be quiet. Shi Jiaojiao stood behind a standing board with unknown figures, watching Xia Lei holding the drawings and gesturing with the newly recruited assistant, and did not make a sound to disturb. Xia Lei took a slender pencil from her ear and discussed it with her assistant a few times, and the assistant opened his mouth wide and looked empowered. Xia Lei patted the young girl on the shoulder, said a few words with a smile, and walked towards Shi Jiaojiao after bypassing her.

"How do you stand like a fool?" Xia Lei stretched out her hand coldly and pinched the tip of Shi Jiaojiao's nose, Shi Jiaojiao covered her mouth and nose, and said angrily: "It hurts!" He put down his hand and said, "I'm not afraid of affecting your thinking!" "Hah!" Xia Lei pulled Shi Jiaojiao and walked inside, passed by the assistant, pointed to a long table made of metal and wood, and said, "I'm worried about splicing!" With only a little life experience, Shi Jiaojiao casually proposed, "You can only hit the screws, right?" Xia Lei pouted and shook her head, "That's ugly, my concept is to be one, and the planks are all whole logs." Shi Jiaojiao stuck out her tongue incomprehensibly and muttered: "Wood and metal are inherently opposites, and the pursuit of them as one is not forced?" ”

"Lei Lei's ability is to force nature." The sixth came out of the cubicle with a smile and said with a glass of water in his hand. Shi Jiaojiao's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she took the sixth child's hand and said, "You two have been together for a long time, you have a heart-to-heart connection!" Xia Lei took off her linen-colored apron, put it on the handmade rocking chair, tilted her head and said, "It's really none of my business that she is so good at saying this, and she has taken a lot of lessons with Sister Chen." The sixth smiled shyly when he heard this, "We are not good at reading, we still have to be aggressive!" ”

The three of them came out of the office together, greeted the assistant and two workers who were still working, told them to finish work early if they were fine, locked the door and handed the key to the early arrival, and then walked out of the workshop. In front of a small shop with the smell of milk tea, Xia Lei sighed: "It's really a batch of new stores in January." The sixth child took Shi Jiaojiao's arm, blinked and said, "Really, it hasn't been opened last month!" Shi Jiaojiao turned her head to look in the direction of the studio and said, "Everyone is so fast!" ”
