Chapter 60 Lucky Star

Jack stood in the house holding the golden pen, staring in amazement as the medical staff carried Ray, who was sleeping like a dead pig, to the ambulance.

Because it was a strong anesthetic, if it was not treated quickly, it might be life-threatening.

No one expected that the originally pleasant party would end in such an embarrassing way.

Bob accompanied the sleeping Ray in the ambulance.

Lily stayed and prepared to drive her own car to the hospital.

Before leaving, she said to Jack: "Brother Zheng has a poor alcohol tolerance, so he won't drink at the next party. By the way, we are indeed short of people in our team for what he just mentioned, I hope you can consider it."

Jack understood what she meant and patted his chest: "No problem, just call me when you need help."

Lily nodded: "I will get you a temporary case handling certificate later, and the remuneration will be charged according to the case. I promise not to treat you unfairly."

While waiting for the ambulance, she had replaced the new electrostatic group module for Jack's telescopic stick, allowing it to attack ghosts three more times.

As for why Jack used up the number of times, he explained that one was a test and the other was an accidental touch.

Lily also carefully took out the anesthetic needle in her electrostatic pen and replaced it for Jack.

After a busy time, only Jack and Clare were left in the house.

Facing this situation, the two felt both funny and helpless. They spent half an hour cleaning the house and washing the dishes before going back to their rooms to rest.

The next day was Saturday, and Clare did a set of school radio gymnastics in the living room.

Jack watched and felt that her movements were standard, which was completely different from his lazy attitude when he was a child.

Before going out, Clare changed into a pink dress with a big pink and white bow behind her waist, tied her hair again, and put on two cartoon hairpins.

Jack believed that he was not qualified for these jobs.

Fortunately, Clare has always been very independent. She can handle all matters in life by herself, and she will give Jack advice like a little adult.

They went shopping in the mall and bought Clare a skirt, a short-sleeved suit with beiger stripes, two cartoon headbands, a large bag of hair bands, and some items that little girls like.

But it didn't cost much, as long as it was comfortable, and Clare didn't have the habit of extravagance.

Jack also bought himself two short-sleeved shirts and a pair of sneakers.

Instead of going home directly, they went to the listening shop on Chunyu Street and opened for business.

Clare took out a newly bought children's encyclopedia book and read it carefully on the counter, while Jack cleaned the sculptures in the store to ensure that there was no dust accumulation that would affect the appearance.

In his spare time, he would make sculptures at the workbench.

Sometimes customers would stand in front of the workbench to watch, and when they were fascinated, they would probably buy it and even become repeat customers.

Business was good today, and a natural landscape, two cartoons, and a tiger head sculpture were sold in half a day.

The second wardrobe sculpture that Jack was making was favored by a middle-aged customer. Although it was not completed, the other party felt that it was exquisite and practical, and paid a deposit in advance.

When the shop was about to close, Jack calculated the day's income, plus the deposit, and earned more than 800 yuan.

He patted Clare's head: "Is it because you are in the shop that my business is better?"

Clare looked up and pouted: "I thought your business was always so good."

Jack thought for a while and nodded: "Indeed, business has been much better recently than before."

The next day was Sunday.

Jack took Clare to the children's park early in the morning and played pirate ships, spaceships, mountain climbing, river crossing, rapids, etc.

But to his surprise, Clare was only interested in haunted houses. She played three haunted houses but was not afraid at all.

After that, they opened the shop as usual.

At noon, a family brought six or seven children to the listening shop, and the children were attracted by the anime sculptures.

The family seemed to be very wealthy. Each child chose two or three anime sculptures and asked if there were any colored ones.

Jack explained that the colored ones would fade due to the passage of time and wear and tear, and were not as beautiful as the original wood.

But the children didn't care and said they liked the colored ones more.

This made Jack decide to try to color anime sculptures in the future. Even if the cost increases, it may be more popular than it is now.

Business was good this time, and the children almost bought out the anime counter.

Jack promised to make a batch of colored anime sculptures and sent the customers away in a good mood.

He returned to the workbench and smiled at Clare who was reading "The Girl Who Runs the Kite": "I feel like you are my little lucky star. When you come, business is particularly good."

Clare seemed to be immersed in the book. She looked up confusedly and came back to her senses for a long time, thinking about Jack's words.

She smiled slightly: "Jack, you are my big lucky star. Without you, I would still be struggling in a corner of the orphanage."

She paused, "Corners and corners, lingering, these are the words I learned in this book, I don't know if I use them correctly."

Jack smiled sincerely: "Although my name is Jack, you really make me worry less."

In the afternoon, the store sold another sculpture and booked one.

One is an Arhat holding Buddhist beads. Jack rarely makes this kind of sculpture, and it is the only one in the store.

Another is a face sculpture. A man in his fifties took a fancy to it, but he seemed very hesitant after Jack quoted the price.

Because the face sculpture is expensive and the most expensive in the store, he may not be able to pay so much money at the moment, so he finally decided to pay 1,000 yuan first and let Jack keep it for him for a week.

During this period, even if a customer takes a fancy to it, he will not sell it for the time being and wait for him to bring back the money.
