Chapter 34: Square Dance
As if to confirm the speculation in my heart, and as if to deny the slightest ripple in my heart, I said to Kevin, who was counting the money intently: "Wait until you earn enough 1,000 yuan...... Let's go to the playground!"
Kevin's hand stopped counting the money and looked up at me in disbelief.
"Why did you suddenly want to open it?"
"Don't you like playgrounds? I didn't have time to go there a few times. ”
He didn't seem to believe it, and was stunned for a full five seconds before grinning: "So, sister, are you willing to spend money for me?"
I poked my head on his forehead, and it wasn't hot to the touch, why did I talk nonsense: "It's obvious that you earned the money, why does it look like I did a good deed......"
"Next week?"
"Will you be able to earn enough next week? Wait until I ask Brother Hui when he will rest. ”
"Okay! I'll sing hard tomorrow and earn a week's money for the playground!"
I took off a string of tofu skewers, and then I remembered the question that had been bothering me for days: "Can you tell me what kind of net I collected today?"
"Well, there's no hurry. ”
"Huh?"
"Anyway, I'm going to have to reel in the nets next Tuesday, give them a little sweetness, and cast them bigger before I can catch the fish. ”
"Do you see what's on my head?"
"Sister...... I...... I'm scared ......."
"I mean question mark! Not anti-science!"
He was happy, and although the expression was abstract, I still understood it. To put it bluntly, it's cheating, and I was very ashamed of his behavior of pretending to be a ghost and cheating the old man and the old lady of money, but since it's a win-win situation, there seems to be nothing to feel guilty about, although lying is not good...... But the result is good.
After listening to Kevin's explanation, I gave him a few suggestions based on the old man's psychology.
"First of all, this matter is not urgent, for the old man and the old lady, they have to figure it out by themselves, and they must take the initiative to come to you, and they must make a sure profit, but if they lose a little, they will not necessarily lose your anger. ”
I went home while talking, and today was the day of the shower again, although Kevin secretly flushed the water in the toilet with a basin every day. Despite Kevin's reluctance, it is still necessary to visit the big bathhouse every week to wash his whites.
It's just that I didn't expect Kevin to wash slower than me this time, and I sat in the hall and waited for five or six minutes before I saw him come out chatting with an uncle.
"Uncle Sun, I'll go first. You wait for Auntie. Kevin pulled me out of the bathhouse.
"What's the situation?"
"There are so many people today! I can't find a shower...... Thanks to Uncle Sun, I let me get together with him. ”
"You're familiar with ......"
"I'll buy you a hair dryer?" he said, rabbling through my wet hair, "It's easy to catch a cold." ”
"It's okay, I still heard the eldest sister in the bathhouse say today that the place where I look in the mirror is going to install a hair dryer. ”
He put his hand on my head and paused: "I used to think that it was not difficult to make money......"
"As a result, now you find out that it was all paved for you by Master Lou?"
Seeing him nod in frustration, I couldn't believe that this was the boy who was talking in the courtyard before, he was five years old, reading the book of sages, and fifteen years old and playing the command of Kim.
"Master Lou has been earning money for decades and has long been experienced...... It's like the two of us don't know each other well, strictly speaking, I was only seven years old in 96, and I don't know a lot about the things of this era. And don't you confiscate the nets? You have been here for less than a week and have been able to find so many earning people, you are already very good!"
"Sister...... I earned the money to buy you a ...... No, after earning money, we will rent a new house, have a kitchen for you to eat, a hairdryer and a bathroom!"
"What a child......
"Who are you talking about, child!" he slammed his hand on my head, and I couldn't move at all, except for my arms and legs to wave around, causing everyone passing by to laugh.
"Don't make a fuss, I'll be late for a while. ”
"It's okay, I'll sing you the opening song. ”
"Okay, okay, you're not a child, uncle, okay......"
I went back all the way and found that the third brother even brewed chrysanthemum tea.
"Oh my God, third brother, we didn't buy two catties of melon seeds in vain!"
In between advertisements, we chatted about whether we had a match or not. "Before we came, you danced and watched TV by yourself, how boring it was. ”
Kevin flicked it on my head, snatched the shrimp cracks from my hand and said, "Sister, what you said, the third brother is so good, and there is still a lack of someone to talk to?"
"Don't say it, it's really lacking. The third brother clicked the melon seeds with a smile, "These residents, cut off those who are hotels." Either I live at home and have children, and I bought a TV by myself, or I think I'm a sissy, neurotic, and too lazy to talk to me, and no one really wants to talk to me. They are more willing to take care of the ice lump of the sixth child. ”
I shook my hand holding the shrimp crackers, and watched the third brother say these things with a smile, I really wanted to tear Kevin's mouth apart.
"Don't talk about me, sister, did you learn to dance so well before?"
"Hey...... This is my grandmother, my mother used to pull me to square dance practice...... Say you have to exercise while you're young......"
"Hahaha!" Kevin leaned back and laughed, not forgetting to laugh at me, "This is true, the square dance of my aunts is popular all over the world!"
"You are always concerned about the motherland...... Net attention to these ...... that there are and don't"
"Wait a minute, what is square dancing?" the third brother interrupted us and asked.
"Forehead ......"
Suddenly realized that there was no professional definition of the matter in this era.
"Third brother, have you ever seen the aunts dancing or practicing together in the park in the morning?
"I've seen a lot of qigong and sword practitioners together......"
"Yes, square dancing is similar to that, that is, a group of aunts go to the square to practice dancing together. Generally, there is an enthusiastic uncle and aunt who leads the dance and takes a stereo or something. ”
"Oh! I see!" the third brother seemed to have discovered something terrible, "Ming'er, I will also go to the square to organize such an event, is this the culture of your hometown? The one who came up with this is a genius!"
Suddenly I felt nervous...... It feels like because of me, the square dance era has come early......
The third brother thought for a while before skipping this topic: "By the way, you don't have to rush home tomorrow, tomorrow weekend, there is a show in front, so only one episode will be broadcast." It didn't start until ten o'clock. ”
"That's just great. I'm worried that we won't be able to come back tomorrow because we're busy. ”
"You've got a job? What are you doing? Xiao Jing is singing in the park, I know, quack. ”
I gave Kevin a blank look and said, "I work in a fast-food restaurant, selling hamburgers or something." ”
"McDonald's?"
"No, it's McCam. ”
"I haven't heard of this, but sister, you also graduated from high school, why did you go to work as a waiter?
"No, no, no!" I hurriedly waved my hand, inexplicably panicked in my heart, remembering the experience of being fired, "It's good for me to be a waiter, third brother, don't bother about me, I'm not suitable for teaching and educating people." By the way, your pink shirt looks good, where did you buy it? I'll buy one later. ”
"I did it myself. The third brother had pride in his eyes, and I felt that the more he excavated this person in front of him, the more he felt that it was a treasure.
