The salted fish boss was forced to bind the rich system

Every evening, if Lu Huaizhou had nothing to do, he would sit on the recliner in the yard, and occasionally he could see Liu Ba passing by the door, and his destination was always the toy store on the street corner.

Although Liu Ba reluctantly agreed at the time, once the contract was signed, he was very cooperative in the follow-up work.Whether he listened to Grandpa Qian to learn how to take care of the doll, or came to contact Joey on time to get in touch with each other, he did a good job, and it was not at all obvious that he was persuaded or forced to agree at the beginning.

Judging from the expression on his face, he got along well with Grandpa Qian and Joey.

I heard that he did not agree with Grandpa Qian to go to the real estate center to go through the transfer procedures. Grandpa Qian can keep the property for himself or give it to Joey or a distant relative.

Everything seemed to be going well, but no one expected what happened next.

On the weekend, the itinerary was already arranged, Sun Yulin rented a car specially, and wanted to drive to Wanxi Mountain by himself, and then climb the mountain.Otherwise, when Lu Huaizhou snapped his fingers, he would be standing on the top of the mountain, so what's the fun?

It's a pity that today's maple viewing plan did not take place.

One morning, as soon as the three of them left the gate of the Strange News Club, Sun Yulin opened the car door and before entering, he saw Joey running towards him from a distance in the rearview mirror.

He closed the half-opened car door again. Lu Huaizhou and Wutian also saw Joey at this moment, and walked a few steps in the direction he came to meet him.

Before Lu Huaizhou could ask what's the matter, Joey was in a hurry, not breathing well: "Grandpa, grandpa is not well."

Lu Huaizhou was the first to react, and ran to the corner of the street, leaving behind Wu Tian, ​​who was a hundred times more physically fit than him, and Sun Yulin, who started the car and followed.

In the toy store on the corner of the street, Grandpa Qian was leaning on the wicker chair behind the counter, wearing his favorite light gray tunic suit, his eyes were closed, his face was serene, and the corner of his mouth was slightly curved, as if he was smiling.

Joey squatted beside Grandpa Qian, tightly holding his hand that was slowly losing warmth, reluctant to part.

Lu Huaizhou and the fifth day who came in couldn't say a word of comfort for a while. Finally, Sun Yulin, who had parked the car, walked over, hugged Joey with one hand from behind, and said something softly.

Judging from Joey's back, he seemed to be crying. Lu Huaizhou thought blankly about a disturbing question: Do dolls have tears too?

Due to the sudden death of Grandpa Qian, Lu Huaizhou and their trip to Maple Leaf came to an end.

Not only to help take care of the funeral, but when encountering such a thing, I really don't feel in the mood to go sightseeing again.

A few years ago, when Sun Yulin and Lu Huaizhou were first called by Yu Meiren to come to the Strange News Club, the two of them got bored here and would wander the whole street.Starting from the breakfast shop that Lu Huaizhou still frequents, watch shops, cold drink shops, and grocery stores, they will go to every one of them to join in the fun.

They like to go to Grandpa Qian's store very much. There are many things in the toy store that can evoke childhood memories. Grandpa Qian is also willing to entertain them and take care of them as his grandchildren.

The first two times, Grandpa Qian didn't know that they were from the Strange News Agency, and he was afraid that Joey would scare them, so he made Joey hide every time.

Later, knowing that they also deal with ghosts and ghosts, I feel relieved to let Joey join them.

However, Joey is relatively introverted, so he is not able to play with Lu Huaizhou and the others. Most of the time, he will lie on Grandpa Qian’s lap honestly, watching Lu Huaizhou and Sun Yulin try out new ways of playing with various small toys in the toy store. .

For Joey, nothing in the world is important, only Grandpa Qian is as important as his life.

Although Grandpa Qian came to the Strange News Agency some time ago to find Joey a future home, which has already shown that he has a foreknowledge of his own lifespan, but when he really can no longer smile at himself like before, he can't smile Touching his head and praising himself as a "good boy", Joey still broke down and cried.

Dolls don't have tears. Joey is not just a doll, he is an earthbound spirit, so at this moment, his face was covered with tears, and he wiped it dry with his sleeve, and the tears soon flowed all over his face again.

Joey is like this now, it is difficult to stabilize his emotions, he can't do anything, all the work falls on Lu Huaizhou and the others.

Lu Huaizhou called the local funeral home, and he was fairly familiar with the process.A few years ago, his grandparents passed away one after another, and he took care of the funeral affairs by himself.

Sun Yulin called Liu Po, who had a copy of Grandpa Qian's will in his hand.According to Grandpa Qian's request, this will will be announced in front of Qiao Yi and Liu Mandrill after his death.

Moreover, Liu Po ​​has been getting very close to Grandpa Qian and Joey recently, and he should be there when Grandpa Qian passed away.

Everything about the funeral seems to be going smoothly and many things are taken care of, which often helps families who are too grieved to manage.

A lot of people came one after another outside the toy store, almost everyone from the whole street came to see Grandpa Qian.

Although there are many people, it is quiet. This is everyone's respect for the dead.

Lu Huaizhou and Wutian barely returned to the Strange News Club in the past few days, and they were all helping out at the toy store. Sun Yulin would also stay here except when he was going to work.

Neighbors also contributed money and efforts. The breakfast shop delivered them every meal without charging. The grocery store provided some tables and chairs, and the cold drink shop brought some ice water and ice cream from time to time...

This street is not prosperous, but it is very friendly, which is why Lu Huaizhou gradually fell in love with it.Through this incident, the fifth day also felt it. It reminded him of when he was a child in the orphanage. Although they were not related by blood, everyone loved each other and lived happily.

Three days later, Lu Huaizhou accompanied Joey to bring back Grandpa Qian's ashes. He didn't want to leave Grandpa Qian alone on the mountain. , Choose a cemetery for your deceased relatives.

Seeing Joey holding Grandpa Qian's ashes without letting go, Lu Huaizhou felt very uncomfortable.But it didn't make sense for Joey to hold it like this all the time, so he went to a nearby snapshot store to print a photo of Grandpa Qian's life, put it in a frame, stuffed it for Joey, and replaced it with the urn.

Now that jar was sent back to the bedroom by Joey, Lu Huaizhou didn't want to guess if he put it on the bed.

After cooking everything, Joey expressed his thanks to Lu Huaizhou, and wanted to kneel down and kowtow to him, so scared that Lu Huaizhou hurriedly pulled him up and hurriedly said no.

Joey held Grandpa Qian's photo again, and found Liu Po: "Mr. Liu, I want to stay here for a few more days, is that okay?" Grandpa Qian and Liu Po ​​had originally agreed that when Grandpa Qian passed away, Liu Po Take Joey to live here.

Faced with Joey's request at this time, it is impossible for Liu Mandrill to refuse, not to mention that this request is very reasonable, and he can understand Joey's nostalgia for the deceased: "Of course, of course, do you want me to move here to accompany you?"

"No, don't, I'll be fine by myself." Joey bowed politely, his face still had that forced composure on his face, and everyone who knew him knew that under that seemingly calm expression , is a grief that cannot be buried.

Liu Hao said again: "Then I will come to see you on the weekend. If you need or want to do anything, you can call me at any time."

"Thank you Mr. Liu."

Liu Po ​​wanted to touch Joey's head like Grandpa Qian did every time, but after all he and Joey were not very familiar, in the end he just patted him on the shoulder and said: "We will live together in the future, you Not so polite."

"Ah."

After bidding farewell to Liu Yan, Joey walked into the bedroom with the photo frame in his arms, apparently trying to find a suitable place to put the photo down.

Liu Hao readily agreed to Joey's request, but turned around and looked for Lu Huaizhou.

If he hadn't been too busy with work and had no time, he really didn't want to ask his deadly enemy for help.

"Please help me check Joey's situation at any time, I am worried about his state."

Lu Huaizhou was not in the mood to tease him at this time, and his tone was much more friendly: "Don't worry, I will do it not for you."

"Thanks."

"Hey!" Lu Huaizhou called to stop Liu Yan who was about to leave, and asked after seeing him turn around, "Do you not feel touched by the relationship between Joey and Grandpa Qian?"

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Hao understood what Lu Huaizhou was referring to: "You don't have to speak for Liu Huazhong, he and I are two different things here."

"All right. Let you go. I won't mind my own business."

On a sunny autumn morning, after breakfast, Lu Huaizhou took a leisurely walk to the toy store on the corner of the street.

Sun Yulin went to work and went to school on the fifth day. He promised Liu Yan to visit Joey if he had nothing to do. He would go there almost every day.

Walking to the door of the toy store, Lu Huaizhou felt a little strange.

Looking down at the time, it was already past nine o'clock, and the door of the toy store was still locked from the inside. This was not Joey's habit.

Although the toy store was no longer in operation after Grandpa Qian passed away, Joey would still open the door every morning, and then return to the bedroom, talking to Grandpa Qian's photo.

Joey always got up early, and basically opened the door before eight o'clock, and today it was past nine o'clock.

Lu Huaizhou felt that something might have happened to Joey, so he didn't think too much, went to the next door to borrow a hammer, smashed the glass door into pieces, and broke in.

The toy store was unusually quiet. Even though Lu Huaizhou had made such a big commotion, Joey didn't come out to take a look.

However, considering Joey's current emotional state, he does not respond much to external stimuli.

With doubts in his heart, Lu Huaizhou walked inside step by step, and knocked on the bedroom door.

There is only one bedroom in the toy store, which used to be lived by Grandpa Qian.Joey's room was a small utility room with a bed in it too, but he rarely slept there.

Since Grandpa Qian passed away, Joey has been staying in this big bedroom every day.

No one answered after knocking, Lu Huaizhou tried to turn the doorknob, but the door was not locked, so he just pushed the door and entered.
