After the start of school, it came to the second day of February, which is commonly known as the dragon raising its head. Whether it is an infatuated man or a woman, or an old and weak woman and child, they all choose to cut their hair and do a style on this day.

Jiaxin's shop has also made a lot of money in the past few days, adhering to the concept of Tongsuo no bullying, customers are still very happy with the service here, and they are quite satisfied with the price.

After the dragon raised its head, the business of the other stores began to slump, but Jiaxin was still full of people, and there were many customers sent there all day long.

Zi Shan said that her face was stiff when she smiled every day, and Xue Mei said that her hand was numb when she counted the money. Of course, Cui Xinping is the busiest in the store, when there are customers, she has to wash customers' hair and run errands, and when there are no customers, she lies on the table to read books and study.

It's busy, but everyone's wages are also rising.

On a weekend at the end of March, it was rare that the store was not busy, so Cui Xinping took advantage of no one to rush upstairs to study, and there were only three or five customers queuing downstairs.

Xue Song gathered Jiaxin, Zishan and Xuemei together, hiding in a corner of the store that no one else noticed, with a mysterious expression, wanting to speak and stopping, as if something important was announced.

"That's... Jiaxin... There's something I've been thinking about for a long time..."Xue Song hesitated.

"I've thought about it for a long time, so let's talk about it!" Jia Xin smiled and said, "You also have today, how can you say something and look at other people's faces?" ”

Zi Shan and Xue Mei also looked at Xue Song, just waiting for her to make a splash.

Xue Song said: "I thought about Xinping going to school for a long time during this winter vacation, but in fact, I really didn't have any say at that time, and I didn't do it against you." But then I thought about it and felt that you were right, it's a pity that a good seedling like Xinping has been nesting in the store for the rest of his life, so I agree with your decision. ”

It turned out that this was the case for a long time, and Jia Xin thought that Xue Song was also quite touched when she saw Xinping who worked so hard recently.

Zishan said: "Although I have invested some money in this store, compared to Jiaxin, it is a drop in the bucket, so if Jiaxin decides, then I have no opinion." ”

"Then I can't have any opinions." Xuemei immediately smiled and agreed.

Jiaxin sighed and didn't speak for a long time.

"What's the matter, you shouldn't change your mind after a vacation?" Xue Song was anxious: "Look at how hard that child works, she is sixteen years old, and it stands to reason that she should go to high school, but because she has no time to study, she is still learning junior high school knowledge, if you want to help her, you have to find a school quickly, don't delay other people's children." ”

"I haven't changed my mind, I'm definitely going to help!" Jia Xin glanced at the three people in front of her and said with a smile: "But I have another idea." Without waiting for the three people to ask, Jiaxin hurriedly explained: "Xinping, this child has strong self-esteem, you see that she usually works hard, and treats customers patiently, as long as someone comes, she is the first to come forward to greet her." In fact, she was afraid that everyone would take care of her. We treat her as a child, but in fact, we are only a few years older than her, and she thinks she is similar to us, so I think if I ask to help her so openly, she will definitely refuse. ”

"Impossible!" Zishan was the first to stand up and object: "How could she refuse if someone helped her?" Besides, you are not an outsider, you are her boss, you just tell her that she will be repaid with labor! ”

"If she pays it back with her labor, then she won't have time to go to school!" Xuemei saw it thoroughly: "Strong self-esteem and ignorance are two different things, Xinping's family is poor, and she was kicked out by her parents to earn money, she already feels inferior to other children, if Jiaxin is helping her like this, she will definitely feel that Jiaxin doesn't want her here..."

"And what do you want to do?" Xue Song asked Jiaxin.

"I guess I'll just let her help out in the store." "However, she can't afford to leave her studies behind, so from today onwards, I have decided to reduce her work by a third and free up this part of her time for studying," Jia Xin said. ”

"That's not going to work!" Zi Shan pondered: "The children in other schools are a combination of work and rest, you can't let Xinping finish her work, study after work, that's not stupid!" ”

"School kids just have too much free time!" Jiaxin said: "Actually, I forget it, Xinping doesn't have to learn those useless ones, just learn a few subjects to be tested in the college entrance examination, and you don't have to learn anything like music and sports." Now it's a third of the workload, and in a few days it's halved, take your time, don't let her see it. But the most important thing is the four of us, the four of us are students of Kyoto University, and they are all very powerful in the college entrance examination, and they can't be tutored by any kind of students, not to mention that Xinping is such a smart child, which is not better than in school. Each person is responsible for one or two subjects, just be responsible for themselves and what they are best at, which is more than two years away from the college entrance examination, and everything is still in time! ”

Hearing Jiaxin say this, the other three looked at each other, and then suddenly realized.

"What did I say, so you were waiting for us here?" Xue Song patted his thigh in hindsight: "This not only saves you money, but also keeps a labor force, yes, Lu Jiaxin, you are slippery enough to put the three of us in!" ”

Jia Xin smiled: "Didn't I put myself in it?" Besides, it's not to save money for myself, it's to save money for the store, the key is, I think we have to make the best use of everything, and put a few of our top students without using it, isn't that a waste? ”

"You're right!" Xue Song was unhappy: "I'll just say, after talking about this last time, you didn't move, it turned out that you were holding back here." Before that, you said that you would spend money for her, then I would have no say, but now I have, I will tell you clearly, I don't agree. ”

Xue Song dared to say this to Jiaxin, Zishan and Xuemei always felt that Jiaxin was 'gracious' to them, and they basically agreed with what Jiaxin said. Even they think this thing is desirable, they are the same as Xinping, they are children from poor families, but the family has not given up on them, if they have the same experience as Xinping, and they are not lucky to meet a kind person like Jiaxin, then how can they have a chance to go to college.

But Xue Song is different, she has a good family background since she was a child, her parents are capable people, if it weren't for Sun Zhao, she might not have joined the team to make money, and now she doesn't have to make money, Jiaxin arranged for her to tutor others to study, of course she didn't agree.

Jiaxin coughed: "Then you say it, why don't you agree!" ”

Xue Song gave several reasons: "First, I manage you in the store, I am busy all day long, and I can't sleep lazily on weekends, which is not at all the same as the college life I imagined, this is all thanks to you." Second, you're taking up my personal time by doing so. Thirdly, we have to have classes too, in fact, we don't have much time in the store, and if you force us to do this, it will delay my lessons, fourth..."

"That's it!" Jiaxin interrupted Xue Song: "These can be solved, you said that you can't sleep lazily on the weekend, yes, I will give you a holiday on the weekend, you can sleep as long as you want, you said that it takes up your personal time, yes, as long as you come to the store, I will not only calculate your salary, but also not let you work?" Also, you said that the matter of class, this is the point, so you should be clear, it is precisely because of this that you will not have too much time to make up for Xinping, you are only responsible for one course, that is, the English you are good at, one class a day, a class is only forty-five minutes, not to mention Xinping's child is hard and smart, and you can teach it with little effort. ”

Between the two of you, you are tense, and each has its own reason.

Xue Song pouted and didn't speak, she didn't really disagree, she just Qi Jiaxin suddenly came up with such an idea, and said it so openly, for so many days, eating and living together, she didn't even mention it to her at all.

"Actually..."Xuemei said: "You two don't have to fight like this for whether to make up for Xinping or let her go to school, Xinping is upstairs, call her down, two options, let her choose!" ”

Jiaxin sighed again, this time the sigh was helpless and suppressed. She thought that this suggestion was passed unconditionally by all the staff, and even if there was opposition, that person could not be Xue Song. Although they also had an unpleasant relationship when they entered the university, since then, the two of them have not blushed again, and Jiaxin thinks that Xue Song knows her better than Zishan and Xuemei. But she was wrong, she didn't expect that it was Xue Song who had the strongest opposition.

After a long time, Jiaxin shook her hand and signaled Xuemei not to call Xinping.

"I decided this matter myself, I don't care about Ping's affairs, I will talk to her only if both plans are finalized!" Jiaxin looked at Xue Song and asked, "Xue Song, I only ask you, is there only a bundle of interests between us, and there is no affection between classmates and friends?" If I beg you today as a friend, will you also give me a few examples of what is at stake, and if it hurts your interests, you will stand idly by? Completely disregarding our friendship? ”

Zishan and Xuemei could see that Jiaxin was angry, maybe it should be called sad, she usually got the best with Xue Song. Keep her secrets, find Sun Zhao to be angry for her... But now it is Xue Song who is against her, so it's no wonder that she is not angry.

But it was precisely because Xue Song was close to Jiaxin on weekdays that she felt that Jiaxin couldn't hide it from her.

Does she want to watch Xinping's child just like that and not stretch out her hand, and her heart is not made of stone, but the more trivial things like this, the more Xue Song feels that Jiaxin should tell her as soon as possible, otherwise Jiaxin will be even more silent about the big things in the future. In the end, she just wants to share more for Jiaxin.

"So, do you think I'm the kind of person who only cares about profit and doesn't care about friendship?" Xue Song stood up and looked at Jia Xin: "If that's the case, will I still come to the store this semester?" Don't forget, I don't need to earn living expenses for Sun Zhao anymore. ”

"Jiaxin didn't mean that!" Zi Shan hurriedly pulled Xue Song: "You sit down quickly, there are more and more customers, what are you doing." ”

Jia Xin avoided Xue Song's gaze and looked away.

The atmosphere was deadlocked, no one would explain, no one would look up.
