Chapter 6 Jiaxin Barbershop
When Jiaxin was cutting her aunt's hair, Shao Cong took out a fresh gadget from the package and tinkered with it a few times, and there was a sound coming out of it.
"Auntie, this is what I brought you to relieve your boredom!" Shao Cong said while demonstrating to the aunt how to operate, where is the switch, where to put the tape!
This thing is indeed new in this era, but for Jiaxin, it is an ordinary object, and it has a small name: Walkman!
At this time, the Walkman is relatively large, but it is still more portable than tape recorders and the like!
After Shao Cong put the Walkman on the cabinet, his attention shifted to Jiaxin.
This girl is about his age, and she looks quieter than ordinary girls, but there is a sense of youth and old age in her words. The heavy scissors in her hand are completely like giving magic power, holding scissors in one hand and a comb in the other, and they are perfectly matched.
Jiaxin is a little uncomfortable, in the haircut industry, she has always stared at others. She sped up in her hands, and in a few moments, Auntie's hair was cut.
Paralyzed people have difficulty moving, Jiaxin cuts it as short as possible for the aunt, so that it is easy to take care of!
"Auntie, take a look, what else is not satisfied?" Jiaxin and Auntie's eyes met in the mirror.
"Okay, that's good, it's good now! Satisfied. The aunt brushed her hair with her hand, a smile rippled on her face, and she turned back to Shao Cong and said, "Congcong, there is money in that small wooden box on the cabinet..."
Jiaxin hurriedly stopped: "Auntie, I can't ask for money, I just lack money again, and I can't do it for you?" ”
Auntie didn't back down: "I've heard that whoever goes to your hair cut, you have to charge money, it's true that Auntie is a paralyzed person, but your uncle is paid, and it's easier than you to make money, take it, child!" ”
While speaking, the boy took out a dollar from his pocket and handed it to her, Jia Xin looked at Shao Cong and shook her head, she didn't sympathize with the aunt as a paralyzed person, but the aunt has been very good to her over the years, and she can't accept the money because of her feelings...... She looked up at her aunt and said, "Auntie, next time, when I'm free, I'll come to cut my uncle's hair!" ”
With that, he packed up his things and left.
Shao Cong felt that this girl had a lot of character.
Jiaxin walked away with the tape recorder: "Auntie, what's the matter with this girl?" Shao Cong retracted the gaze that had been following Jiaxin, and she had already gone away.
"Hey, speaking of which, she is also a hard-working child, who is good in school, was arrested by her father and asked her to marry, this child refuses to live or die, and argues that the man gave her father as much as the bride price, and she will pay it back. Isn't this the reason why there are these things to make money by giving people hair! ”
"Then her craft is not a day or two of work... I don't think she's big, and it will take at least a few years to complete it! ”
"It's strange to say this, the day I came back, I knew that I was going to get married, so I had a big fight with her father, her father called her an ear scraper, knocked out, and woke up again, isn't this like a different person, her mother and I think she was possessed by something."
Shao Cong pursed his lips and smiled, his aunt must have heard too much about the Romance of the Gods. Although he is also very unaccustomed to forced marriage, after all, it has nothing to do with him, so he should listen to a story, and the past will pass.
When Jiaxin returned home, there were already many people waiting, and she was very happy.
It's just that Lu Dingwu's face has become more and more ugly day by day in the past two days, Jiaxin has been busy making money, and he didn't notice it at all.
"Your dad said that the family comes and goes every day, and he can't be clean when he is noisy and hot, and he is afraid that there are people with unclean hands and feet, and he secretly takes away something, the most important thing is that he thinks it is too wastewater, everyone has to wash their hair after cutting it, our village is not like the city, the tap is tap, the faucet is turned on, the water is flowing, and there is, cutting the hair of so many people every day, the house is full of hair slag, there are also on the pot table, and there are also in the kettle... The most important thing is that he still thinks that you cut his hair and collect money for cutting his hair in the township, and he has lost his face, and your father wants to save face. ”
Lu Jiaxin naturally knew that her father wanted to save face.
However, the water at home is really hard to come by, you need to go to the big well at the head of the village to pick, put water once a day, spring, summer and autumn are good to say, this winter is icy and snowy, it is not easy to pick a water!
"Mom, in this case, you go and help me clean up the barn, and I'll get someone else's hair in the barn in the future." Build an earthen stove again, my dad doesn't like me now, he hasn't spoken to me for several days, and I will eat and live in the warehouse in the future, and I will pay for water every month, but it really doesn't work, so I'll pick it myself. ”
Mu Chunhua was anxious: "How can this work, you kid, are you going out alone?" I can't say yes, and neither can your dad. ”
"That's it!" Jiaxin said: "If my father is afraid of being talked about, then I will definitely let him live in the face." ”
So the next day, Mu Chunhua started to clean up the warehouse, not that she no longer insisted, but now, she has already seen Jiaxin's temperament, Xu is marriage has hit her too hard, and she seems to have changed as a person.
Lu Dingwu only thought that Mu Chunhua was going to clean up the warehouse before the New Year, after all, it was like this in previous years. Unexpectedly, after cleaning up Lisuo, she also built an earthen stove, and then Jiaxin moved all the stalls where she made her hair to the warehouse, and even the bed had to be moved. The guests who came were waiting in the warehouse, and Jia Xin also hung a wooden board on the door of the warehouse, on which five big characters were written: Jia Xin Barber Shop.
This is a rebellion!
Early the next morning, Jiaxin was making a stove, and Lu Dingwu rushed into the warehouse and asked sharply, "Lu Jiaxin, what are you going to do?" What did you make of my good home, and what kind of barbershop did you do? You're still moving out? You think it's great that you can make money now? Even if you move to the pigsty, it will be my pigsty. Which of the things you eat and drink Lazar can leave my house? If you want to toss around, don't toss in my house. If you still want to stay in this house, just wait honestly to get married, and don't cut anyone's hair again. ”
Jiaxin was not annoyed, watching the fire burn more and more, and then straightened up: "Dad, it's less than half a month before the Chinese New Year's Eve, and I don't want to cut my hair in the first month!" Jiaxin picked up the broom again and said while sweeping the floor: "So I actually only have this month of time, I am in the main room, you think you have hair scum, afraid that someone will steal your things, I moved to the warehouse, and you say that I am tossing blindly, then I want to ask you, what do you want me to do?" If you agree not to have a bride price and don't want me to marry, I won't toss it right away! ”
"You..." Lu Dingwu gritted his teeth: "You are capable now, what do you want to do when you move out like this, let people poke me in the back?" ”
The warehouse is a house built of stone in the second year of Jiaxin's parents' marriage, which is specially used to store some groceries. There is only a layer of loess in it, and when you look up, you can see the beams and pillars, and the windows are still paper-paste. Now that it's winter again, there is a layer of ice ballast on the wall, how good can such a house be? Jiaxin moved into such a house alone before the Spring Festival, so where did he put Lu Dingwu's face?
"Actually, I think you're right, the main house is really not suitable for hair, which affects everyone's normal life!" Jia Xin put the broom aside and said, "If you think that I have taken up your resources, then even if I rent this warehouse, you can determine the amount of rent, and I will give you money now!" ”
"I made money, and I really had a lot of money! You really give us the face of old Lu's family! Lu Dingwu finally gave in, "But don't forget what you said, if you can't take out 5,000 yuan when the time comes, you will honestly marry me!" There is still more than a month, Lao Tzu can see if you can still turn out the flowers? ”
When a guest came, Jiaxin didn't want to argue anymore, and said, "I'm going to be busy, this house is cold, you better go back to your main room and stay!" ”
The person who came was a bewitched woman, her face was powdered, and her face was miserable and pale, but it still did not cover the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.
She stood at the door and said, "I'm from Bai Jiawa, they said that you have good hair here, and it's cheap?" ”
Jiaxin wanted to call her aunt, but she had to hold back, and called her sister sweetly: "Sister, come into the house, how cold is the door, it's easy to talk about money!" ”
The woman wore a very fashionable padded jacket, and at first glance she was quite rich.
"How long will it take to get it done, I'll have something to do in a while!" The woman sat down on the stool as she spoke.
"You're the first one today, hurry up!" Saying that, Jia Xin began to prepare things and did not forget to praise the woman: "Sister, your padded jacket is strange and beautiful, where did you buy it?" ”
"This is what my man bought for me in a big shopping mall when he went to the county town last month!" The woman straightened her back as she spoke, looking like she was showing off.
"Then your man is so good to you!" Jiaxin almost applauded her.
"Of course it's good, but his family also has money, otherwise he can afford it." The woman became even more proud.
Jia Xin thought for a while and said, "As far as I know, Bai Jiawa is the richest Bai Guangsheng family, you shouldn't be her daughter-in-law, right?" ”
"So to speak!"
Jia Xin breathed for a moment, and then an imperceptible smile appeared on her face: Bai Guangsheng's son Bai Jingjie is the man she wants to marry, so this woman is undoubtedly Bai Jingjie's concubine.
What a providence! The woman left, and Jiaxin closed the door! On the other side of the board is written: Closed in the morning, all customers in the afternoon are 20% off!
Then Jiaxin said hello to Mu Chunhua and said that she had something to go out! Mu Chunhua told her to go early and come back early, saying that the uncle was going to come over in the afternoon to cut her hair!
After coming back in the afternoon, Jiaxin went directly to the uncle's house, cut the uncle's hair, and when he came back, he held this strange thing in his hand, Mu Chunhua had never seen it, and asked curiously: "What is that thing you are holding?" ”
"This one, my aunt borrowed it from me to learn English!"
Lu Jiaxin borrowed the Walkman back.
