Fast forward to two and a half years old: The villain boss is obsessed with raising cubs

"Yes, that sister is holding a doll, Miaomiao wants one too, okay?"

The little guy was very envious, his round almond eyes were sparkling and so cute.

So that's how it is, Miaomiao doesn't want to leave me.

Lu Yanqi breathed a sigh of relief and felt more cheerful: "Okay, Dad will buy it for you."

But after Lu Yanqi agreed, Miaomiao shook her head and refused.

Lu Yanqi frowned in confusion.

The little guy's face was serious: "Miao Miao wants Daddy to make it, not to buy it."

"Sister Lotus's doll was made by her mother. Miaomiao doesn't have a mother, so can Daddy make one for her?"

Miaomiao tilted her head back, clenched her little hands tightly, and looked at Lu Yanqi expectantly.

Lu Yanqi was stunned. Looking at the deep expectation in Miaomiao's eyes, and when he heard the little girl say that she had no mother, his heart seemed to be stabbed by a needle.

"Okay, Daddy will make it for you."

Without hesitation, Lu Yanqi agreed to Miaomiao's request.

However, the consequence of his impulsive thinking was that Lu Yanqi began to get into trouble.

He just agreed to it happily, but he didn't know how to sew. But after all, he had already promised Miaomiao, so he couldn't go back on his word.

There was no other choice, Lu Yanqi could only go to the cloth shop to buy all the cloth.

Miaomiao wanted a doll in the shape of a little rabbit. In order to make a good doll for Miaomiao, Lu Yanqi thought about it again and again and decided to seek help from others.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk-"

The Lotus family had just finished their meal and were clearing the table when they heard someone knocking on the door.

Lotus Lady was a little puzzled: "Who is it?"

"Lotus, go open the door."

Lotus Mother's hands kept moving, cleaning up and ordering Lotus at the same time.

Lotus responded crisply and ran to open the door. What came into view was Lu Yanqi in a green robe.

"Uncle Lu?" Hehua had seen Lu Yanqi when she went to play with Miaomiao. When she saw it was him, the girl was a little surprised.

Lu Yanqi smiled slightly and gave the prepared candy to Hehua: "Hehua, is your mother at home? I want to ask your mother for help with something."

Seeing the candy, He Hua's eyes lit up, but the little girl knew that the candy was not cheap, so although she was tempted, she still restrained herself from taking it. Instead, she nodded, turned around and shouted into the house: "Mom, Miao Miao's father is here, he wants to see you for something."

After a while, Lotus Lady came out of the house after cleaning the table.

"Hey, isn't this Shopkeeper Lu? What do you want from me?"

Wiping her greasy hands, Lady Lotus asked cheerfully.

Because Lu Yanqi was the shopkeeper of a bookstore, the neighbors in Tianshui Lane all called Lu Yanqi Shopkeeper Lu.

Speaking of this, Lu Yanqi's handsome face was tinged with embarrassment. After hesitating for a moment, he asked with embarrassment: "Aunt Hehua, um... can you teach me how to make a doll for my child?"

"Huh?!" Lotus Lady raised her voice and shouted, "Making dolls? Shopkeeper Lu, you are a man, why do you want to do needlework?"

It’s not that Hehua Niang is ignorant, but in this world, from childhood to adulthood, she has never seen a man who can do needlework.

Seeing that Lotus Mother was so surprised, Lu Yanqi didn't feel so embarrassed anymore.

He smiled faintly: "I want to make a doll for Miaomiao. I heard that your craftsmanship is very good, so I came to ask for your advice."

Everyone has vanity, not to mention that Lu Yanqi is a scholar. Hearing Lu Yanqi's compliment, Lotus Mother smiled so happily that her face was sore, but she still waved her hands repeatedly to pretend to be modest: "I just sewed casually, how can it be as good as you say."

Shopkeeper Lu is indeed a scholar and he knows how to speak.

Although Lotus Mother said this, her heart was already filled with joy.

"Manager Lu, you are a really good father. You even care about making dolls for your child. Unlike my son, he just lies on the bed every day and doesn't care about anything else."

Lotus's father works as a porter at the dock, which is hard work. But Lotus's mother is not idle and stays at home as a housewife. She also has to go to the construction site to cook and wash clothes for people. In fact, Lotus's mother's job is no easier than Lotus's father's. After all, there are hundreds of people on the construction site, and cooking is a physical job.

Not to mention that after Lotus's mother comes back, she will have to take care of all the housework inside and outside the house, so it's no wonder that Auntie would have a problem with Lotus's father.

"Come, I'll teach you. This thing is very simple."

Lotus Mother showed 200% enthusiasm and actively taught Lu Yanqi the skills of making dolls.

After learning the most basic procedures at Lotus's house, Lu Yanqi felt that it was almost ready, so he left the gifts, bid farewell to Lotus's mother and returned home.

Lu Yanqi planned to make the rag doll that Miaomiao wanted overnight.

Under the candlelight, Lu Yanqi held the embroidery needle and threaded the needle clumsily.
