Chapter 136 When We Are Old
Chapter 136 When We Are Old
YU's official website crashed in the middle of the night recently. Although the company has invested a lot of money in continuous upgrades over the years, there are always a few special days when toy collectors flock over, causing the server to go on strike.
But what caused the official website to collapse this time was not the release of new models, but Yu Sui's announcement of his official retirement.In fact, her retirement plan has been postponed for three years. Three years ago, she had expressed the idea that she wanted to spend more time with her family, but the players hoped that she could produce more high-quality goods, a little more...
Yu Sui was moved by their enthusiasm, and was indeed reluctant to part with the field of design that he had struggled for many years, so the big cake he painted for Chu Jiayun, "I will be with you 24 hours a day when I retire", was delayed year after year.
It wasn't until that day that she saw that Chu Jiayun was threading the thread with trembling hands in her reading glasses, and she realized that perhaps it was time to cherish their old age.
No amount of reluctance can compare to the fear of leaving too many regrets.When Yu Zhongqing left, she wasn't too sad. She just missed Xinxin and Qingqing when they were not around. Only all the changes in Chu Jiayun made her most nervous.
Xinxin and Qingqing are in charge of organizing Mommy's retirement ceremony, Yu Sui originally wanted to keep a low profile, but everyone from the player group to relatives and friends disagreed.She had no choice but to be an obedient old child, and Chu Jiayun waited for the arrangement of her daughters with peace of mind.
The two sisters had just gone to the hotel banquet hall to discuss specific arrangements with the manager and the person in charge of Yu Sui's company organization, and the two sisters had to rush to the place where the video was made.
"Sister, do you think Mommy will cry in public that day?"
"It should be. She has become very agitated a few years ago."
Qingqing frowned, a little worried: "Then what should we do, if she burst into tears like when she was watching TV at home, wouldn't we be doing bad things with good intentions?"
Xinxin comforted her: "With my mother here, it will be done soon."
Qingqing recalled the usual scene at home, nodded: "It's true, there are no tears that mom can't handle with a tissue."
After running to several places, the details of the retirement ceremony were settled one after another. They were busy until it was almost time for dinner, and the two sisters rushed home.
Yu Sui glanced at the wall clock on the wall, and said to Chu Jiayun who was pruning the flowers and branches: "It's almost six o'clock, why haven't they come back? I said it at noon, and there aren't many things to do in the afternoon."
Chu Jiayun took care of her potted plants carefully, and there were many pots of exquisite succulents on the wooden shelf not far away.
For Yu Sui's anxiety, she didn't feel anything, and said slowly: "I'll come back when I'm hungry, why are you so anxious."
"Then going home is not just for eating..."
Chu Jiayun gave her a funny look, and knowingly asked, "Then what else?"
Yu Sui is a little bit twisted, but no one in the family can speak his mind except her.
"It's rare to come back, so it's time to talk to us two old people."
Yu Sui and Chu Jiayun occasionally went to live with their daughters for a few months, but they lived separately after all, and they were not used to each other after a long time.
Chu Jiayun pushed the glasses: "Do you think I don't talk enough with you every day?"
Yu Sui remembered that he was rambling around Chu Jiayun every day, and he felt a little embarrassed: "That's not it."
Chu Jiayun curled her lips: "Yu Sui, you can't be too greedy."
When he heard the door opening, Yu Sui, who was still complaining a second ago, immediately put on a smiling face, smiling and waving to his daughters.
"Aren't you tired from running around all day today? I told you that you don't need to be too grand, just make a point of it."
Xinxin took two cans of soda from the refrigerator, and handed one to Qingqing: "Mummy, your retirement ceremony can't be casual, you can rest assured and leave it to us."
Yu Sui pursed his lips, but stopped talking.
Qingqing sized her up: "Mum, you can bring up your ideas anytime, and we will definitely arrange them according to your wishes."
Yu Sui said it didn't matter, and waved his hand: "Don't worry about my thoughts, you can play freely. As long as it is arranged by you, I like it."
After she finished speaking, she went to the kitchen and asked the aunt in the kitchen to make more dishes that the daughters loved.
Now that she and Chu Jiayun are old and have limited energy, some housework is really not suitable for them to do by themselves.
Xinxin moved to Chu Jiayun's side: "Mom, what did Mommy mean just now?"
Qingqing also looked at Chu Jiayun seriously.
"It's okay, she just wants you to stop being so busy and come back to spend more time with her."
Xin Xin took a mouthful of soda stuck in her throat, unbelievable: "Mommy is getting clingier."
Yu Sui's retirement ceremony is very grand, worthy of her status in the industry and fully reflects everyone's love and respect for her.Xinxin and Qingqing delivered speeches as family representatives, thanking Yu Sui for setting a perfect example in their growth.
"We want to say to Mommy, you will always be our idol, whether in career or life, you are the star we look up to."
Yu Sui cried again, a few words from her daughters could soften her whole heart, like ice cream in a hot day.
Chu Jiayun handed over a handkerchief: "Crying too much is not good for your eyes."
Yu Sui sighed while wiping away tears: "I am so happy to have you taking care of me."
Chu Jiayun "corrected" her: "Take care of each other."
After retiring, Yu Sui and Chu Jiayun didn't do any round-the-world travel, and they have used the past ten years to accomplish this goal.When they really retired, they fell in love with the quiet life instead, so they moved to the suburbs after discussing it.
Chu Jiajun continued to take care of her flowers and plants carefully, while Yu Sui was addicted to watching the drama, and retelling it to Chu Jiayun with relish after watching it.
"Why didn't I realize before that the dog-blood TV series is so captivating."
Yu Sui had just finished a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law war soap opera, and while watching it, she made complaints about it, and she didn't forget to share it with Chu Jiayun.
"It shows that you have a lot of blood potential in your heart."
Yu Sui refused to admit it: "How is that possible! I am just out of curiosity and want to seriously study an unfamiliar field."
Chu Jiayun looked up at her and pursed her lips into a smile.
Yu Sui looked upright, but still refused to admit it.
Chu Jiayun moved away the pruned potted plants, and Yu Sui pouted and followed.She circled around Chu Jiayun like a child: "I really have no interest in dog blood, why don't you believe me?"
Chu Jiayun had to admit that the older Yu Sui was, the more he looked like a child.
She could only comfort her: "Yes, yes, I believe, you don't like it, you are just curious."
Yu Sui's movements are no longer as flexible as when she was young, and she can no longer put her face in front of Chu Jiayun as easily as before, but she still repeats this familiar movement with a much slower rhythm.
"You are not allowed to perfunctory me."
Chu Jiayun has long been used to being intruded into her safe zone, and also used to the person in front of her pestering her to beg for candy.
"No perfunctory, I'm serious."
"Then next time you watch it with me, you'll know that I'm telling the truth."
Chu Jiayun smiled, and spent a long time just to let her watch those frothy dramas with her.
Unable to resist Yu Sui, Chu Jiayun finally sat in front of the TV and spent the afternoon with her.But looking at it, Yu Sui fell asleep leaning on Chu Jiayun's shoulder.
Chu Jiayun stretched out her hand to outline the lines of her cheeks, the feeling was completely different from when she was young, but she didn't find it strange at all.For so many years, so many days and nights, they have witnessed each other grow old little by little, but the feeling of familiarity has not changed at all.
Even if they didn't go far, Yu Sui and Chu Jiayun didn't completely stay at home, they always went out for a few days every week when the weather was good.
The two of them passed by an art exhibition hall that day, and there was a picture of a young designer on the publicity board outside.
Yu Sui stopped and looked seriously.
Chu Jiayun also watched with her: "Do you know each other?"
"I remember her name. Three years ago, she translated and introduced a book by Professor Mellon on the principles of design aesthetics."
"It should be very promising to have such a comprehension ability at this age."
This book is highly respected by Yu Sui, and many of her designs actually have the shadow of these theories.The skills learned from Professor Mellon back then have been improved by Yu Sui to form her own style.
Yu Sui remembered many past events and stood there without moving.
Chu Jiayun pulled her: "Go in and have a look."
The two of them entered the exhibition hall, and the young designers on the stage were giving their speeches. There were not many people in the small theater, most of them were young people.They didn't go in, but just stood by the door, the light was a bit dim, and no one noticed that it was the two old people who came in.
"In addition to Professor Mellon, there is another designer who has a great influence on me. She is the best designer who localizes international aesthetics and the designer who has the most real insight into human nature. Rather than saying that she uses toys to carry emotions, It is better to say that she repaired the incompleteness of human nature with her works.
I think everyone should know who I am talking about, the founder of YU, Yu Sui.Although she has retired and no longer creates, the works she designed have left a deep mark on many people's lives.
What I want to do is not to inherit or surpass her, but to use her spirit to inspire me to create my own style, because YU itself is a representative of advocating individuality. "
The young designer turned around and switched to the next part of the speech, and an exciting content appeared on the screen: [Salute to YU].
Yu Sui and Chu Jiayun listened carefully for a while before retreating.
Chu Jiayun walked with Yu Sui on her arm, and their destination was the pier.
"Why don't you listen to how she paid tribute to you?"
"I've heard her design philosophy, and it's best to stick to myself. Paying tribute to anyone is not as important as sticking to yourself."
Yu Sui saw an ice cream seller on the side of the road, so he bought a cone and ate it with Chu Jiayun.
"Do you still want to continue designing works?"
Yu Sui frowned and shook his head.
"Yu Sui, do what you want, don't set limits for yourself."
"I'm retired."
"Retirement just means you don't have to work continuously, but it doesn't mean you stop loving."
When I heard the young designer explain the design aesthetics just now, Yu Sui was obviously touched, how could Chu Jiayun not understand her?
She has always loved design, and immersing herself in the study is far more interesting than spending time watching dog-blooded dramas in front of the TV.
In the second year after retirement, YU's official website crashed again because Yu Sui suddenly released a new design.
Even without any publicity, this new design set off a wave of enthusiasm among collectors soon after its launch.
Qingqing gnawed on an apple and called Xinxin: "Sister, Mommy is so romantic, she's so good at playing even after she's retired."
This gradient rose named "Salute to Love" was launched on her and Chu Jiayun's wedding anniversary, which was a day that players kept in mind.
"Otherwise, how could mother love her so much?"
**
Yu Sui was finally too old to hold a brush, her eyes were so blurred that it was difficult to see too many things clearly, and occasionally she would forget many things.
She and Chu Jiayun were sitting on a deck chair in the garden, quietly admiring the sunset.
"If there is an afterlife, what do you want most, Mr. Chu?"
Chu Jiayun straightened the blanket on her lap for her: "You talk first."
"I still want to meet you, I want to be a mother and daughter with Xinxin Qingqing, and I want to design more beautiful toys..."
"Yu Sui, you can't be too greedy."
Yu Sui looked at her in a blink of an eye. Although his eyes were dazzled, the person in front of him was already gray-haired, and even the hand he was holding was wrinkled.But in her eyes, Chu Jiayun was still the most beautiful person, uniquely beautiful.
"If you can only choose one, you are the only answer."
Chu Jiayun smiled: "Okay, I will remember. When you meet in the next life, you can't pretend anymore."
Yu Sui held her hand tightly: "I will definitely carry out Teacher Chu's words seriously."
