Chapter 44: The Proprietress and the Taxi Driver
Chose some clothes for each child, and then Lin Ping went to the cashier to settle the bill.
At this time, Lin Ping looked down and saw the shoes worn by the children, and then remembered that he had not bought shoes for the children yet, and asked the waiter, "Do you have shoes here?"
"Yes, yes, yes. The waiter hurriedly said.
"Buy two more pairs of shoes for each of them," Lin Ping said to the children, "Go ahead, follow this sister to pick out shoes, two pairs per person." ”
"Teacher," Liu Qingmei said, "we don't need shoes, we have enough flowers." ”
As soon as Liu Qingmei's words came out, several other interested children also stopped, and then stood back, indeed, Teacher Lin had spent enough money to buy them so many clothes, and they shouldn't ask for anything else, so they said no more sensibly.
Lin Ping looked at them and smiled: "It's okay, the clothes in this store are very cheap, and they don't cost much." ”
But the children just kept their heads down and didn't move, no matter what Lin Ping said, they didn't look at their shoes anymore.
At this time, the cashier's woman looked at Lin Ping and the children with interest with melon seeds, and then said, "It's okay, buy it, all the clothes in the store are half price today." ”
After hearing this, the waiter looked at the woman in surprise and said, "Boss, this ......"
The proprietress glared at the waiter: "The commission is quite a bit yours, what are you excited about?"
The waiter stopped talking.
"Buy, buy, buy, go buy, half price today, if you don't buy, you won't have a chance. The proprietress beckoned the children to look at the shoes, "Look at your group of children, the shoes are rotten and broken, and you don't go to buy a pair of shoes, and I feel ashamed of your teachers after you." ”
Under the stimulation of the proprietress , the children lowered their heads and followed the waiter to buy shoes.
Lin Ping turned his head and smiled slightly: "That, thank you boss." ”
The proprietress knocked the melon seeds and said indifferently: "I also have two children, the eldest is a daughter, and the one is about the same age......"
Saying that, the proprietress pointed at Liu Qingmei.
"The little one is a boy, similar to that ......"
The proprietress pointed at Liu Dazhu.
"You're from the mountains?"
The proprietress grabbed a handful of melon seeds and gave them to Lin Ping.
"Thanks, I don't snort. Lin Ping declined the kindness of the proprietress, and then said, "Yes, we are from the Kushan Mountains, and I am their teacher." ”
"College student teaching?" the proprietress continued.
"Yes. Lin Ping nodded.
"It's not easy to be responsible. The proprietress said with a smile.
"No, boss, you just said that the audience is 50% off, is it true?" Wang Xinming came up and asked.
"That's right," the proprietress knocked a melon seed, "five folds." ”
"Then I'll buy two too, do you think it's okay?" Wang Xinming smiled, turning into a shrewd citizen, he knew that this was a discount specially given to the children by the proprietress , but he also wanted to take the opportunity to take advantage of it.
The proprietress smiled at Wang Xinming and nodded: "Okay." ”
Then Wang Xinming happily went to choose clothes like a child.
"Won't you buy two?" said the proprietress with a smile.
"No, I think I have enough to wear. Lin Ping has four sets of clothes sent by the system in his bag, and he doesn't need anything for the time being.
"It's okay, 50% off, I won't pay. The proprietress said indifferently, "I am religious, and it is right to do good deeds when I meet you today." ”
Seeing that the proprietress said so sincerely, Lin Ping was a little moved, and then he saw Ma Zhongguo standing at the door, and suddenly realized that he had forgotten Teacher Ma just thinking about buying clothes for the children.
"Teacher Ma, come in, what are you doing at the door, come in and buy two clothes. Lin Ping greeted Ma Zhongguo.
"No, no, no. Ma Zhongguo waved his hand again and again.
"Students, go and pull your Teacher Ma in and ask him to buy two clothes. Lin Ping asked the children to go to the store in Lama Zhongguo.
The children rushed up and pulled Ma Zhongguo into the store, and Ma Zhongguo had no choice but to buy two pieces.
"Thank you hostess. Lin Ping thanked the kind proprietress after paying.
The proprietress smiled: "It's okay, it's good to have this group of children, and it's good for this group of children to have a teacher like you." ”
Coming out of the store, each child has changed into brand new clothes, people rely on clothes and horses and saddles, and the children who have changed into new clothes have immediately become much more foreign, and people have become more confident, except that because they have been in the mountains for a long time, their skin is a little dark, their bodies are a little thin, and their hair is messy, they can no longer see the difference with ordinary children in the county.
Especially Liu Qingmei and Feng Xiao, the two girls, are twice as beautiful after changing into new clothes, and at the same time, they still retain the simplicity and plain beauty of a girl in the mountains on their faces, and their eyes are not polluted by electronic products, keeping the sparkle of the green mountains and green waters.
The children were not tired at all carrying large bags and small bags, and everyone's faces were filled with unprecedented happy smiles.
After lunch, Lin Ping took the children to Linxi City, a higher-level administrative unit in Xibei County, where he prayed that a prefecture-level administrative unit like Linxi City would have institutions like swimming centers or swimming schools.
The journey from the county to the city was relatively long, and it took more than three hours to sit. As soon as he got out of the car, Lin Ping went to ask for directions, but when he asked, he was dizzy. Listening to the meaning of passers-by, taking the bus has to reverse several times, and it is already more than five o'clock in the afternoon, and by the time the bus passes, the swimming center may have been closed for a long time.
In the end, Lin Ping decided to go extravagant and took the children to the swimming center by taxi.
"Master, go to the swimming center. Lin Ping said to the taxi driver after getting into the car.
The taxi driver was listening to Teacher Shan Tianfang's commentary with his eyes closed, and his voice was very loud.
"What?, bathing center?" the taxi driver gave Lin Ping a "I understand" look, and then made an "OK" gesture.
"It's not a bathing center, it's a swimming center where you can swim!" Lin Ping hurriedly explained, the driver obviously misheard Lin Ping.
"What are you talking about? Isn't it the kind of bathing center where you can take a bath, you can take a bath, and you can find a little sister to massage? Listen to your accent, you are a foreigner, right? It doesn't matter, I know the kind of place you want to go, I'm an old driver, and you have no problem with me. The taxi had that smile that only adults can understand.
Lin Ping turned off the radio in the taxi and repeated loudly: "Swimming Center! Swimming Center! Swimming Center! Swimming Center! It's swimming! It's not going to take a bath, and I'm not looking for a massage, you're talking about it!"
The taxi driver was stunned by Lin Ping's yell, then looked back at the three innocent and ignorant children in the back seat of the car, and suddenly realized: "Oh, you are taking a child, it is inconvenient to go to that kind of place." Bathe...... No, the swimming center, right? Okay, I see. ”
"No, do you really understand or falsely understand, I warn you, don't take me and the child to any mess, or I'll call the police. Lin Ping said very seriously.
"I know, I know. The taxi driver said.
"Besides, take a good look, do I look like someone who goes to that kind of place?" Lin Ping said speechlessly.
The taxi driver looked Lin Ping up and down: "It's really not like ......"
Lin Ping fastened his seat belt.
"But not necessarily. The taxi driver followed quietly.
"Why are you ......" Lin Ping suddenly wanted to beat up the taxi driver.
