Chapter 48: Shao Cong's troubles
The four-person meeting went late! Basically, everyone is very optimistic about the development trend of the two stores, of course, this is based on the fact that there is a Jiaxin in the store, Jin Lian, Xiaochen and even Song Qingqing will regard her as the backbone of the store.
The money they have earned in one year has caught up with the income of many families for several years! This is the change that Jiaxin has brought to them after she came, no matter in which aspect, they have a more confident lifestyle than others.
From the bottom of their hearts, they are full of gratitude to Jiaxin!
Not long after New Year's Day, the winter vacation that everyone is looking forward to is coming. But the school has always had its own tradition, all high school juniors, the winter vacation will be 20 days of extra classes!
So Jiaxin's winter vacation came later. However, the winter vacation is a very important time, which is a test for Jiaxin, who not only has to devote herself to studying, but also is very worried that everyone will be very hard without her in the store!
I finally survived the twenty days, and the day of the third year of high school was already the seventeenth day of the lunar month.
On the day of the holiday, Jiaxin packed up for a long time, there were a lot of books, and a lot of test papers needed to be sorted out.
Shao Cong himself has few things, and he usually doesn't have a lot of books in his schoolbag, so he packed it up very early.
"What else, I'll help you!" Shao Cong said that he wanted to help, but he picked up his schoolbag and put his hands in his trouser pockets, looking leisurely!
"No!" Jia Xin said, stuffing a few test papers into her schoolbag, then holding a stack of books, and straddled the schoolbag over her shoulder: "Let's go!" β
In fact, in the past few months, Shao Cong has rarely been out of school with Jiaxin, Shao Cong has his own things to do, but there is no progress at all!
The two of them walked together, and the moment they left the school gate, Jiaxin stopped, and she glanced back at the outline of the school.
"What, are you still reluctant?" Shao Cong joked about Jiaxin.
"Hey!" Jia Xin smiled lightly: "Isn't it a bit early to be reluctant." However, there is one thing! β
"Alright, let's go!" Shao Cong glanced at the book in Jia Xin's arms: "I'll come!" β
"I'll do it myself!" Jia Xin walked forward with the book in her arms, Shao Cong followed behind her, but she couldn't see that he was in any difficult state, so she followed!
After the two of them walked for a while, Shao Cong suddenly caught up with him in a few steps, and Jiaxin turned his head to look at him, a little puzzled: "What's wrong?" β
Shao Cong took a few breaths of cold air and rubbed his hands: "I have talked to my parents several times for such a long time, but they still don't agree!" β
Jia Xin was stunned for a moment, she immediately judged what Shao Cong meant when he was talking about it, but she didn't expect Shao Cong to tell him about it so directly.
"So, did the talk fall apart?" Jiaxin was also a little worried, "Why don't you agree, is your way and method wrong, or..."
"Hey!" Shao Cong sighed inaudibly: "I'm a person, I may be more direct, and I don't speak very tactfully, but that's my own parents, I can say whatever I have directly, there's no need to beat around the bush, but no matter what I say, they are still like them!" β
Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and sure enough, even the prince of the richest family in the county, Shao Cong, will encounter problems in life, but this matter is his private matter in the final analysis, no matter how much she supports Shao Cong in pursuing her personal ideals, she can't run to other people's parents to make peace, it doesn't make sense!
"Let's take it gradually." Jiaxin had to enlighten Shao Cong: "Don't be too anxious, think about it, your parents have been looking forward to you since you were born to be able to take care of their family business for them one day, this is a clichΓ© for more than ten years, this concept has been ingrained in their minds, how can you change your mind because of these few conversations?" So don't rush! β
"But if you don't rush it, you won't have time!" Shao Cong spread his hands: "Their work is very difficult to do, even if it takes a year and a half, I may not be able to do their work, but the conscription mobilization meeting starts every August." β
"I can't rush it!" It's the first time Jiaxin has seen Shao Cong so anxious and so cramped: "I don't know how to help you in this matter, I don't even seem to be able to help you, I can only advise you, don't be in a hurry!" β
"I always feel that other people's parents respect their children's ideas!" Shao Cong said to himself with a lot of helplessness: "But why are my parents so screwed!" β
"It's better than mine!" Jiaxin bit her lip and spoke in a very loud voice, but both of them could hear it: "I won't say anything about my dad, you know, and my mom is cowardly and submissive, and I won't tell you anything, I called back during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I persuaded her to leave my dad, isn't it incredible?" β
This is very similar to Lu Jiaxin's style, Shao Cong is not surprised at all, she is not the kind of person who is wronged and low-voiced, which Shao Cong realized early on.
"That's you, that's right!" Shao Cong quietly took the book in Jiaxin's arms.
Jiaxin didn't refuse, she was much more relaxed all of a sudden, but her hands were still a little numb, so she shook it! Before Ma Jin passed, Shao Cong asked her again: "It's going to be the New Year soon, what are you going to do, I know that you have an awkward relationship with your family, but do you really want to spend it here alone?" β
Jiaxin shook her head, with a smile on her face, faintly: "I may still go back when I go back, but I don't know what I will face after I go back, let's do a good job in the store first and make more money!" College is a few months away, and I have to earn tuition. β
Speaking of going to college, Shao Cong remembered Shen Mo, the college student who always wrote letters to Jiaxin, so he asked, "Have you received another letter from Shen Mo recently?" β
Jiaxin felt that Shao Cong's thinking must be jumping, otherwise how could he sweep the east and west.
"We write at least twice a month!" Jia Xin said very frankly that there was no need to hide this matter from him1
"What will you say?" Shao Cong's curiosity can't stop the car at all!
"It's all short-lived." Jia Xin recalled a recent letter: "Oh, this letter said about studying, he said that if he encountered any difficulties in studying, he would call him!" He will help me out, and he said that he wants me to go to Kyoto, and he will wait for me there! The rest is fine. β
Jiaxin treats Shao Cong as a friend, or even as her junior, since he cares so much about the content of her correspondence with Shen Mo, then she has no reason to hide it, and she doesn't need to hide it, so she will say it all.
But Shao Cong's face was really hard to see. It's not much stronger than this harsh winter!
"It's as if he is the only one in the world who can be admitted to Kyoto University, and I'm not unusual, otherwise he would have something to do." Shao Cong muttered while rolling his eyes, not to mention how awkward it was, he felt that Lu Jiaxin was just a rolling pin, blowing fire with her, you can imagine!
With the biting northwest wind, Jiaxin didn't hear what he said, she didn't care about it, put the book back in her house, and then went to the store again!
The store was busy on all fours, two people who were going to perm their hair and some haircuts were waiting on the side, two who were perming their hair had just taken a dose of potion, Xu Xiaochen was starting to cut the hair of a middle-aged man, and seeing Jiaxin was like a life-saving straw.
"Jiaxin, Jiaxin, if you don't come again, I will be glorious." Xu Xiaochen took a long breath.
"There are so many people, why haven't a few of them been arranged to the master's side?" Jiaxin hurriedly washed her hands and helped.
Jin Lian glanced at Jiaxin, and didn't dare to delay the work in hand, "The master's side is busier now, because there are two barbers, Li Ran and the master, so some have already been arranged." β
Since the end of the solar calendar year, the reason for the birth has been in full swing, and so have the other stores! When Jia Xin came, she passed by a few stores, and there were also customers queuing!
"It's going to be the New Year soon, and there must be a lot of people doing hair!" Jiaxin knew that her senior sister and master were working hard, but sometimes she couldn't help with anything, and she was actually very upset in her heart: "I think after twenty-six, let's take a holiday, after a whole year of hard work, it should be a few days off!" β
"Ah, that's going to cost a lot of money!" Once he thought that he would lose money, Xu Xiaochen felt that his heart hurt!
"It's been a busy year, and it's not normal to take two days off!" Jiaxin said it easily, in fact, she wanted to catch up with the New Year and go home!
In winter, the university is flying, and the shuttle bus back to the village will not be open until the 28th of the lunar month, and it will not be reopened until the fifth day of the first lunar month, so Jiaxin must go back a few days in advance!
Of course, she didn't say this to Xiaochen! Senior sister is from the city, and she can go back whenever she wants, but it has been a hard year, so if you lose some money, you can lose some money.
"I'm just kidding!" Xu Xiaochen said seriously: "I wish I could rest for a few more days!" β
"Then it's decided, I'll talk to the master in a while and see what her attitude is!" Thinking like this, Jia Xin had another idea, so she immediately ordered Jin Lian to find a wooden board, and then write the words "open until the twenty-sixth of the lunar month" and hang it outside!
Jin Lian set out to do it! Jiaxin and Xu Xiaochen are busy with things in the store, to say that Xu Xiaochen is really a smart girl, now under the leadership of Jiaxin, washing, cutting, blowing, perming and dyeing, even pantou, makeup is all presentable! So Jiaxin is largely relieved to hand over the store to her!
As for Jin Lian, she still has to exercise for two more years! She is now putting a lot of thought into learning technology, in fact, this is very good, Jiaxin also hopes that in the future, Jin Lian can have a career of her own!
"By the way, Jiaxin, the master asked you where you spent the New Year, do you go home or stay here?" Xu Xiaochen thought thoughtfully: "What my master and I mean is that if you don't go back, then go to our two families!" β
"I'll go back!" Jia Xin thought about it!
Although she knew that it might not be good to go back, she was worried about Mu Chunhua
