When Jia Xin arrived at the barber shop, it was a little late than usual, and the master Song was gently perming a woman's hair.

"Jiaxin, come over and help me see the curvature of this perm?" Song gently beckoned to Jiaxin.

Jiaxin put down her schoolbag, walked over, touched it with her hand, and said: "When perming hair, we usually choose rather small than big in curls and cores, although it is still on the curl bar, but I think it should be good!" ”

Song breathed a sigh of relief: "Last time, I saw that you burned others very well, I always wanted to learn, but you only have an hour a day, and today I just caught up." ”

"Master, in fact, your perm technique is already very proficient, and the barber industry must develop step by step, and you can't rush it. What's more, at this time, many materials and tools are very backward, so you have to take your time! ”

Jiaxin put on the overalls on her body, and then helped Song lightly together: "Master, there is a saying in the barber industry, called" Learning hairstyles, only by understanding the results and learning techniques can you create results!" ”

Song Qingqing put the electric hat on the customer's head, and couldn't help but sigh: "Coining this word, it's easier said than done!" ”

Jia Xin nodded approvingly, and then said: "The highest level of hairstyle design is to never set limits!" Don't bind yourself with the rules you've learned! ”

Song Qingqing seemed to be particularly emotional today: "Until I met you, I didn't know that the hairstyle could be cut like that and so hot!" When it comes to innovation, I've seen it. I still remember the first time I saw my dad shave his head, and I still remember that impression. ”

Jia Xin smiled: "Master, in your impression, is it only women who perm their hair?" In fact, many men are also very suitable for perms! Isn't this innovation? ”

Song Qingqing can't seem to imagine what a man's perm looks like! He frowned and thought for a moment, then smiled.

Jia Xin looked at the time and said, "There are still five minutes to take off the electric hat!" ”

The barber shop got off work, and Jiaxin went home alone. Turning into his own small alley, I just happened to meet the landlady who came out to the swill!

"Xiao Lu, did you just come back from school? Have you just finished studying at night? ”

Jia Xin nodded at the landlady and smiled: "Well, yes!" ”

The landlord and his wife are usually busy with work, go out early and return late, and don't meet often!

"Oh, I saw Cong Cong coming when I got off work." The landlady stood still: "It seems to be brushing the door for you!" ”

Jia Xin looked up at the door at this time, and she couldn't see anything in those words! Jiaxin suddenly felt that something was wrong, what did the landlady say just now, "Congcong?" ”

Are they familiar? Jia Xin clearly remembers that on the day of renting the house, Shao Cong and the landlord met for the first time.

"When did he leave?" Jia Xin asked.

"It's not been a long walk!" The landlady said that she had already walked away with a bucket of swill.

Jia Xin walked towards her home, but she was full of doubts. It stands to reason that as a landlord, her door was painted bright red for no reason, she should at least ask what was going on, not to mention, the landlord gets up early every day, so it seems that she can't see the words on the door, but she doesn't ask anything, she doesn't say anything, which is very abnormal.

Could it be the landlord's handwriting? No, no, no, Jia Xin immediately vetoed this conjecture, she has no grievances with the landlord, even if there is anything, as a landlord, she should make it clear to her face to face, she should not do such a tasteless thing!

The clouds of suspicion were thick, and Jiaxin couldn't sort out her thoughts for a while. I had to go home first, because now the barber shop was already in charge of the food, so she didn't have to prepare dinner, and when she got home, she started to do her homework.

At about nine o'clock, Jia Xin was tinkering with the Walkman when there was a knock on the door. Jiaxin opened the door, stood in the courtyard, and asked softly, "Who?" ”

"Me!"

It was a female voice that spoke, and Jia Xin was not familiar with it, so she asked again, "Which one?" ”

"I'm the one who lives next door to you!" The woman said again.

Jia Xin sighed, "It's so late, is there something wrong?" ”

"Nothing. It's been so long since you've moved in, and we haven't officially said hello! "The woman's voice is crisp and not muddy.

Jiaxin hesitated, but stepped forward to open the door. The woman smiled brightly, holding a bag of candy in her hand: "The first time I visited the door, there was nothing to bring, this, my cousin brought it back from the big city, it is said to be a foreign product, take it to you to taste!" ”

Jia Xin was stunned for a moment, she couldn't figure out why this woman was suddenly so polite, obviously when they passed by before, she looked at herself with a very hostile gaze!

"You're so polite!" Jia Xin didn't plan to take the bag of sugar: "But I have bad teeth since I was a child, and the doctor advised me to eat less sugar!" ”

"That's a coincidence!" The woman seemed to be sorry.

"What about sitting in the house?" Jiaxin felt that she still had to be polite.

But the woman was not polite at all, and before Jiaxin's invitation was over, she twisted her waist and walked forward.

Jia Xin followed behind her, and she wore a yellow tight jacket today. Entering the house, under the dim light, Jiaxin suddenly saw a few red paints on the hems of her clothes! Although it was dotted, it was not difficult to find that Jiaxin didn't care, she thought that this woman was standing at her door, maybe she accidentally rubbed the red paint on the door.

"Just sit down!"

"You're small here! Not as big as mine! The woman looked around at Jiaxin's room: "When I first came, I originally wanted to rent this room, just because it was small!" ”

Jiaxin poured a glass of water for the woman, "I live alone, I don't have high requirements, and the size of the room is not a hard requirement!" ”

The woman took the water glass, nodded symbolically, and then said: "Well, yes, it's really okay to live alone, but if it's two people, it's indeed a little crowded!" ”

Two people? Jia Xin pondered these three words, which seemed to have an unspoken meaning. She didn't have a good impression of this woman, plus she spoke in a weird way, Jia Xin really couldn't mention her good impression!

"It's so late, I think you're not just hanging out, is there something wrong?"

The woman was stunned for a moment, presumably she also heard Jiaxin's off-string sound, which was nothing more than saying, it's so late, if it's okay, can you leave?

"It's nothing!" The woman didn't drink a sip of water, so she put the water cup on the table: "I just want to ask you, what's going on with your gate, why is it painted red?" ”

This is nothing, the neighbors, but all the women who gossip will ask. But Jiaxin felt that no one would come to ask for this.

"Oh, just a sudden whim. I don't think the original color is pretty! Jiaxin seems to say it casually, but it is not without a brain.

"Oh?" The woman raised her eyebrows, not very convinced: "I saw the boy who is often with you in the morning just helping you clean the door!" ”

Jiaxin felt that this might be the purpose of this woman's sudden visit today, temptation! She had already seen it, but she pretended not to know, and ran over to ask, what was her intention?

"And what else did you see besides the boy?" Jiaxin asked rhetorically.

I vaguely saw a few words...... "The woman didn't continue to speak, but said, "It's so late, I'll go back first, and you should rest early." ”

Jiaxin didn't speak, and planned to send her away, but as soon as the woman stood up, her eyes fell on an object on Jiaxin's cabinet. Then she stepped forward in two steps, picked up the thing, and asked curiously as she fiddled with it, "Is this the tape recorder that is very popular now and can be used to listen to songs?" ”

Why did she suddenly become interested in this and this?

"Yes." Jiaxin nodded, without explaining too much.

Jiaxin sent the woman to the door, and when she turned around, she glanced at the red gate, and inadvertently touched it with her hand, which was already dry.

After sending off the neighbors, Jia Xin returned to the room, looked at the Walkman she had fiddled with, and fell into deep thought: This woman usually nods and talks as if she is pitying her when she meets, but now that someone has just sprayed on her door, she is enthusiastically running to gossip? There is also a hint of unguessable weirdness in the words, and that feeling is very uncomfortable!

For about three days after that, the neighbor didn't come back to her. During this period, Jiaxin didn't even meet her, but she met other people in the alley and pointed at her, but it seemed to be much more bland than before.

Shao Cong also said that he has been investigating, but there are no useful clues!

It was a weekend that day, and Jiaxin got up early to go to the barbershop, but as soon as she went out, she was blocked by several people at the door.

There are three of them, led by a woman in her forties, with a pale pink headscarf around her head, and when she saw Jiaxin, she went straight to the point: "Little girl, we are from the neighborhood committee, I am the director, and my surname is He." We received reports from the masses, saying that you have a problem with your life style, many parents jointly asked you to move out of Tianxing Hutong, we want to come to you to understand the situation, can you go with us to the neighborhood committee? ”

Neighborhood? Style?

Jiaxin thought, I'm afraid that someone will go to the neighborhood committee to smear her.

"Do you have to do it now?" Jiaxin asked Director He, "Is it okay in the afternoon?" ”

"Right now, the people in our neighborhood committee are also very busy!"

"Alright, lead the way!"

Jiaxin followed the three of them to the neighborhood committee, it was a big courtyard, "Sit down!" As soon as he entered the room, Director He got a glass of water and put it on the table in front of Jiaxin.

Jiaxin took the water cup and said thank you, and then asked, "Director He, who reported that I have a problem with my life style?" ”

"Since it's a report, of course it's all anonymous!"

Director He looked at Jiaxin, how could she not associate the words "bad style of life" with this child with clear eyebrows, plain dress, and looks more like an honest family!
