Chapter 3 Pick-up

I sat up with a spirit, and I didn't dare to come out.

Not long after, the voice sounded again.

That's when I realized that it was supposed to be a knock on the door.

I put on my shoes and walked to the door, carefully looking through the cat's eye.

The light outside was dim, and only a vague figure could be seen.

"Who?"

"I'm here to pick up the doll. My surname is Zhang. The woman replied.

When I heard the voice, I breathed a sigh of relief, and I was also made to cry and laugh by my own suspicions.

The door was opened, and the woman stood in the doorway and asked me if the doll was ready.

I said yes and opened the iron gates.

Before the door could be fully opened, the woman threw herself on the box, and the plastic bottle fell to the ground with a screeching sound.

But the woman didn't realize it, gently stroked the cardboard box with her hand, and sniffled.

I didn't tell her the doll was in a cardboard box, but the woman seemed to have figured it out.

She stood up, took the remaining five thousand from her bag and handed it to me, then struggled to pick up the box.

"You didn't open it to see, did you?"

She was thin, her hair was loose and half of her cheeks were obscured, and her big eyes were staring straight at me.

I swallowed and foamed, "No, the boss has explained." ”

The woman sighed before turning to leave.

I was a little weak-hearted, and seeing that she was struggling to hold it, I was about to pick up the box, "I'll help you take it." ”

As soon as my hand touched the cardboard box, the woman suddenly threw it hard, and the corner of the cardboard box hit my stomach, and I gasped in pain.

"Don't touch it." She whispered, and sped away with the cardboard box in her arms.

I stood in the doorway and cursed before closing the door.

After putting the money away, I lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

At this time, when did Mingyue reply to the message.

He sent me a private message if he could make a life-size doll.

"We're a toy store, not an adult store." I replied angrily.

"I'm not going to buy that kind of doll, I want my mom...... She passed away two years ago, and now my dad has Alzheimer's, and he is looking for someone with a picture of my mom all day long, and I want to buy a doll and put it at home so that he doesn't get old. ”

I see.

"I don't know, I'll ask the boss. However, the dolls in our store are not cheap. If you want to make large pieces, it can only be more expensive, at least tens of thousands. ”

I say.

He said thank you to me and said that there was no problem with the money. I posted a picture of my mother.

It should have been taken when I was young, and I looked like I was in my twenties and thirties.

Wearing a white shirt and jeans, with curly hair.

My mom has similar old photos.

I felt a little sympathy for this netizen in my heart, comforted him a few words, and said that I would help him ask tomorrow.

Then I fell asleep in a daze.

The sound of "thump" woke me up all at once, and I couldn't stand it anymore.

saw Lao Du standing at the door of the room.

"Why are you sleeping so hard today? What did you do last night? ”

"Yesterday the woman came too late, and I slept late." I said.

Lao Du didn't care, "You hurry up and clean up." ”

I yawned and got up to wash.

Lao Du suddenly asked me, "You didn't open it, did you?" ”

"No ......"

My heart tightened.

He just asked casually, and the person had already walked to the studio.

I finished washing up and gave the balance to Lao Du.

As usual, he pulled out two for me.

I'm going to talk about it online again.

"A friend asked me if I could make an adult-sized doll."

Seeing that Lao Du's eyes had changed, I hurriedly said what the other party needed.

Lao Du sighed, "I can do it, but I have to buy a lot of materials." The price is also expensive. ”

I gave the photo to Lao Du, and Lao Du looked at it carefully, "No problem, 50,000 yuan is not a counteroffer." If he wants to give half of the deposit. If not, forget it. By the way, I want cash. ”

My heart was beating a drum.

The main thing is that we are just chatting netizens, the other party is not stupid, give me 25,000.

Still want cash?

I shrugged my shoulders, messaged the man back, and didn't pay attention.

After the handover, I was about to leave, and Lao Du gave me an address.

"You go to this place and get some materials. Just get it back before you go to work in the evening. Report my name, I have already given the money. ”

The address is next to a university in the middle of the county and the city.

I went to have breakfast first, then went home and borrowed my brother's car and went to the university town.

I know this university, the school is not bad, I heard that law is more famous.

Fang Ci is here.

I was a junior high school classmate with her, but I didn't expect the gap to be so big now.

When I got to the place, it turned out to be a pork shop.

The boss has a big waist and is chopping big ribs. After listening to me, he said wait a minute, and cut the ribs with a clatter.

The weather was fine.

The midday sun in May is already a bit hot.

Not long after, the boss entered his shop and took out a black greasy plastic bag.

"Right?" I was surprised.

The boss bit his cigarette, "The newcomer Lao Du is looking for?" ”

I nodded.

The boss looked at me contemptuously, "If there is a problem, call Lao Du to come to me, what do you know!" ”

I really don't understand.

Old Du didn't even tell me what he wanted to take.

I opened the bag and there was a strong fishy smell.

The inside was square, neatly tied with newspaper and cotton rope, and nothing could be seen.

It stinks so much that I give up the idea of taking a look and go back.

I was supposed to go to dinner, but this thing stinks.

I carried the bag to the door of the hotel and was kicked out by the owner.

In the end, I had to drive back first.

The things were in the trunk, but the smell didn't go away for a month, and my brother scolded me when he saw me, saying that he would never lend me a car in the future.

When I got home, I put my things on the rooftop.

As soon as he closed the door and came out, a ball gurgled out.

I was taken aback.

But the ball was suited, and I was relieved to see the neighbor's children coming over and holding the ball.

When I got home, I put down a bowl of noodles, and while I was eating, I received a call from my brother scolding me.

I hung up and swiped my phone.

I didn't expect Mingyue to reply to me when.

Ask me where the shop is, and if it's not far away, he can come and have a look and then decide if he wants to pay.

I sent the address.

When the time came, I was ready to go out.

The neighbor's dog barked at me all the time, and he didn't like to lock the door, always leaving it open.

The three-year-old grandson kicks the ball with flowers.

I came down with a plastic bag, and the dog barked like crazy.

Lunged at me, as if trying to bite at the plastic bag.

I kicked it away, and the neighbors ran to take the dog back.

"Big brother, play football." The child said with an iron door.

"I'm going to work." I beckoned and went back to the store.

A blue and white ball lies in the hallway.
