"Baby, have you decided what you want grandpa to do?"
…
"Um……"
The child suddenly looked confused.
He poked his cheek.
"I have a lot of things I want..."
"Mom, can I only do one?"
"Can I have a few more?"
…
"No."
The woman wagged her finger.
"I can only have one."
"Baby, think about what you want most?"
…
Xiao Xiao smiled.
His face turned slightly sideways.
"What kind of candy man does Pipa Ghost like?"
…
The Pipa Ghost raised the Pipa in his arms.
Xiao Xiao suddenly understood.
Do you want a candy man who looks like a lute?
Sure enough, it was Pipa Ghost's choice.
…
"careful."
Xiao Xiao reached out to support the child who was about to fall.
…
The child was not happy that he had escaped, but looked anxious.
"mine-"
The child's words stopped abruptly.
…
Xiao Xiao's other hand slightly shook the candy man in his hand.
"Your sugar man."
…
The child blinked.
Then he opened his mouth and showed a big smile.
He reached out and took the candy man from his elder brother's hand.
"Thank you, big brother!"
…
"Thank you, young man."
The child's grandmother who arrived smiled gratefully at Xiao Xiao.
The scene just now scared her so much that she almost had a heart attack.
…
"You're welcome."
Xiao Xiao smiled and shook his head.
…
Grandma left with her grandson.
The grandson held the lost candy man, held his grandma's hand, and jumped up and down.
He was filled with obvious happiness.
There was a gentle smile on grandma's side face.
…
Xiao Xiao smiled and looked away.
…
Children come and go.
Finally, Xiao Xiao was the only one left in front of the old man.
Xiao Xiao stepped forward.
…
The old man making the candy man smiled at the young man.
"Young man, I've been waiting for a long time."
He noticed this young man.
The height of this young man is very impressive.
Also, he also saw how well this young man took care of his children.
Therefore, he had a very good impression of this young man.
When he was still very old, he still started to be a candy man.
Apart from not wanting to waste my skills, being idle is also idle...
Another reason is that he likes children.
He likes the way the children surround him with their eyes shining brightly.
I like the joy on the child’s face when he takes the candy man.
I like the proud expressions on the children’s faces when they show off their candy figures to others.
…
He likes children's pure and straightforward expression of emotions.
It made him feel relaxed and comfortable.
…
He likes people who are good to children.
He knows it's not absolute.
But most people who are good to children have a kind and gentle heart.
…
"What do you want candy man?"
The old man asked the young man in front of him.
He didn't chat much with the young man.
This young man has been waiting for a long time.
He didn't want to keep the young man waiting any longer.
…
"Old man, I want to make two candy men."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
…
"Can."
The old man nodded cheerfully.
"you say."
"What do you want?"
"Don't say two, you can have more."
…
Xiao Xiao curled the corners of his mouth.
"first……"
"I want a candy man who looks like a lute."
…
Pipa Ghost suddenly turned his head to look at Master Xiao Xiao.
Why……
Mr. Xiao Xiao is...
…
"lute?"
The old man was stunned.
Then he smiled sheepishly, "Young man."
"I know Pipa."
"But the appearance of Pipa... I don't know much about it."
This has to be done...
It's a bit difficult for the elderly.
…
"Wait a moment."
Xiao Xiao took out his mobile phone.
…
Soon, Xiao Xiao turned the phone screen to the old man.
"Look."
"That's it."
"Can you do this?"
…
The old man narrowed his eyes slightly.
Xiao Xiao noticed this and brought the phone closer to the old man.
…
The old man nodded uncertainly.
"Should be able to do it."
"let me try."
The old man's hands moved.
…
During the process, the old man looked up at his phone from time to time.
…
Xiao Xiao's hand is very steady.
He made no sound.
Watching the old man's movements quietly.
His eyes dropped slightly.
Pipa Ghost looked intently at the candy man that was gradually taking shape in the old man's hand.
It's an all-too-familiar look.
The Pipa Ghost's eyes are astonishingly bright.
…
"alright."
The old man looked at the candy man in his hand, and then looked at the pictures on the young man's mobile phone.
The old man nodded with satisfaction.
good.
He looks quite similar -
No.
It's exactly the same.
…
He handed the candy man in his hand to the young man opposite.
"Here, young man."
"Are you satisfied?"
"My first time making pipa..."
Before this, although he had received various requests...
But Pipa... it's really the first time.
Although he made it according to the picture that the young man found for him, after all, he had never seen a real Pipa, and he didn't know if the result was biased...
…
Xiao Xiao took the candy man.
He slightly turned the candy man in his hand.
After noticing the look in the eyes of the Pipa Ghost who was following the candy man, Xiao Xiao's face showed a smile.
"satisfy."
"Sir, you did a great job."
…
"Yeah?"
The old man breathed a sigh of relief.
The corners of his mouth widened.
"That's good."
The old man smiled happily.
"Come."
"Young man, what else do you want for a candy man?"
…
"What else I want..."
Xiao Xiao lowered his eyes slightly.
Pipa Ghost was staring at the candy man in his hand with sparkling eyes.
"It's a candy man in human form."
…
"Humanoid?"
The old man was slightly startled.
Then he smiled with some understanding.
Different from the pipa just now, the humanoid candy man can do a lot.
"What does it look like?"
The old man asked in a familiar manner.
"Do you have a photo?"
…
"No."
Xiao Xiao shook his head.
…
The old man didn't care about this answer either.
He has also encountered similar situations.
"Then can you describe to me what he looks like?"
…
"good."
Xiao Xiao nodded.
"He is a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old..."
…
Why?
The old man was a little surprised.
"juvenile?"
He thought this young man was going to bring a candy man back to his girlfriend.
After all, there are many young couples coming to his place.
The people who want to make humanoid candy figures are basically lovers.
Children all like animals or various cartoon characters.
So he thought this young man also wanted to give his girlfriend a surprise...
…
"Um."
Xiao Xiao nodded.
"It's a friend of mine."
…
"oh oh."
The old man nodded.
The movements of his hands continued.
…
"...He is very thin, with pale complexion...barefoot..."
