Chapter 4: The Two-Headed Man 1
I originally decided to stop renting at the end of this month, so I posted the information about the house redemption three months ago, but now the business of the physical store is not doing well, and no one wants to take over the store.
If the rent is stopped at the end of the month, and I don't know what to do with these tables, I have no choice but to pay another month's rent, the money I had before, plus the 1,000 that Zhang Fang gave me, is just enough for one month's rent.
Just after lunch at noon, my aunt called, asked me how the surface business is, I smiled and said, give me another month, I will lose all the money, my aunt scolded me: "You still study psychology, you should know people's hearts very well, you must learn to induce people to buy your products." ”
I said that this is not a lie, people love to buy or not, how can you still use such a shoddy method, I don't do anything to deceive people, and my aunt will say that I am dead. After chatting with my aunt for a few words, I suddenly said, "Auntie, why don't I deal with all these forms and use the money to open a psychological clinic?" ”
My aunt immediately gave me a no, she said that you think the clinic in your heart is so easy to do? Something happened to one of your private clinics, who gave you a ride? I laughed at myself and said that I knew this earlier, what is the use of me doing psychology so well, it was better not to study at the beginning, and I went to sell watches after graduating from junior high school, maybe I did a better job than now, my aunt laughed and said that you want to open a little, this is fate, you should have offended the head of the department so coincidentally when you signed a job, God doesn't want you to do it, you can't do anything.
In the end, my aunt persuaded me to sell my watch, saying that I had no money to pay the rent, so she helped me pay it. After my parents had an accident, my aunt kept treating me like a son, which touched me a lot.
I was lying on the sofa chair in the store, about to take a nap, and I was about to fall asleep, when two people came in the store and woke me up, I got up from the sofa chair and found that the two women who came in, one of them was Zhang Fang, and the other was younger than her, about thirty years old.
I hurriedly greeted and said, "Sister Zhang, how are you doing?" ”
In fact, before the greeting, I was observing her expression, the corners of her mouth were upturned, her cheeks were raised and wrinkled, her eyelids were contracted, and a crow's feet were formed at the end of her eyes.
Zhang Fang smiled and said, "It's good, it's good, haha, sister is good, how are you doing, Xiao Tian, business is good." ”
I smiled awkwardly and said, "Not bad." ”
Zhang Fang then introduced me to the people around her and said, "Xiao Tian, this is my colleague Li Qian. ”
I made a quick eye contact with Li Qian, and I saw that her eyebrows were hanging down, and although she made a smiling expression, the corners of her mouth were slightly pulled down, obviously with a lot of concern.
Zhang Fang continued: "We are like sisters, we talk about everything on weekdays, I told her about you helping my daughter, she was very interested after listening, I had to say that I wanted to meet you, we finished eating at noon, and came to you for a stroll." ”
I smiled and said, "Sister Zhang, you can come over and walk around if you have nothing to do, and also help me to be strong." ”
Zhang Fang then took out her mobile phone, as if she suddenly remembered something, and said: "Oh, I won't go home to eat today, I forgot to tell Zhou Li, I have to call her quickly, that, you talk first, I'll go out and make a call and come back." ”
Zhang Fang made eye contact with me before going out, and I immediately understood the real purpose of their visit. As soon as Zhang Fang left, Li Qian came up to talk to me, she was still a little nervous at first, when chatting with me, her hand was always in her pocket, chatting and chatting and gradually expressing her thoughts, she said: "Xiao Tian, actually, I came this time to ask you for a favor." ”
I had guessed this result early in the morning, so I wasn't too surprised, and I said softly: "Say it, Sister Li, and I'm not polite." ”
Li Qian said: "I have a son, 7 years old this year, he has always been very well-behaved and sensible, but I recently found that he is a little abnormal. ”
I asked, "What is the anomaly?" ”
Li Qian said: "He has been crying suddenly for no reason recently, he was still smiling a second ago, but suddenly he would cry, and he would always have convulsions in the middle of the night, he would sweat a lot, and sometimes he talked to himself, I suspected that he was scared, but then someone told him that he was acting like he had some kind of psychological problem, so I took him to see a psychiatrist, but the doctor said that he had no problem, and then when I chatted with Sister Zhang, I heard him talk about you, and I wanted you to help me again." ”
I asked her, "How long has he been like this?" ”
"About half a month." When she said this, her expression was a little unnatural, so I pretended not to hear clearly, and asked again, "How long?" ”
"About half a month!"
The second time she repeated the sentence, her tone was noticeably higher than the first, and her eyes moved to the right very quickly, a typical reaction of a person when lying, I don't understand why she lied to me even though she wanted me to help her, but since she didn't want to tell the truth, I didn't need to debunk her immediately.
I smiled and said, "Sister Li, through your description, even if your son has psychological problems, it shouldn't be serious, but if you really want me to help him, you have to let the two of us have contact, do you see when it's convenient for you to help the child bring it over?" ”
Li Qian hurriedly said: "If it's convenient for you, I'll bring him over after work at five o'clock, and I'll be here at about half past five." ”
I said, "Okay, that's it." ”
At half past five in the afternoon, Li Qian brought her son to my store on time, her son was a short distance of five or six meters from the door to me, his eyes swept left and right seven or eight times, and he has been hiding behind Li Qian intentionally or unintentionally, his two hands have been clasped tightly, every time I and his eyes just touched, he immediately flashed aside, so we can basically conclude that Li Qian's son has a problem that is much more serious than she described.
Li Qian said to his son: "Zhang Tong, call uncle?" ”
Zhang Tong glanced at me very quickly, but did not speak. I noticed that his brows were furrowed in the middle, as if he was scared of me, even though I was smiling brightly.
I tried to communicate with him, but I asked him several questions one after another, but he didn't answer, and the scene was extremely embarrassing. Li Qian smiled at me, then squatted down and whispered to her son, "Zhang Tong, what did you just tell your mother?" I'm really angry if you do this again, you can answer whatever your uncle asks you, do you hear? ”
I saw Zhang Tong nodding very reluctantly. Li Qian stood up again and said to me with a smile: "It's okay Xiao Tian, you can ask this time." ”
I also squatted down and asked him very gently, "Little Zhang Tong, how old are you?" ”
“7。” He replied very competently, without a word more.
I then asked, "What grade are you in?" ”
“1。” I smiled bitterly in my heart and continued to ask, "Do you like my uncle's watch shop?" ”
"Hmm." At this point in the chat, I began to secretly set a small goal in my heart, I want to try to make Zhang Tong say two words at once.
After thinking about it, I said, "You came here after school, you must not have eaten yet, let's go, uncle invites you to eat something delicious, what do you want to eat?" ”
If you want to get into a person's heart, the fastest way is to eat, people often have the illusion that after eating together, they are a family, so at the dinner table, you can often ask a lot of questions you want to know.
Zhang Tong replied without thinking: "Fuxiang! ”
Zhang Tong finally said the two-word answer, but when I heard this answer, I cried so much that Fuxiang is almost one of the most expensive hotels in our city, and a meal is at least nearly a thousand, I am not dead, but I have said it, it is too late to regret it, so I said hard: "Okay, Fuxiang is Fuxiang." ”
I then stood up and said to Li Qian: "Sister Li, let's go, let's go to Fuxiang for a meal first, and we will talk about everything at the dinner table." ”
Li Qian paused for a moment and said, "Okay." Then she whispered in my ear and said, "Sister please." ”
Li Qian's words moved me so much that I almost didn't cry, not because I saved money for a meal, but mainly because I just paid the rent, and all the cash was less than 200 yuan.
In order to enhance the relationship between me and Zhang Tong faster, I picked him up from the ground, Zhang Tong was defenseless, and the two clenched little fists were released immediately, I noticed that a paper ball fell from the palm of his right hand, and motioned for Li Qian to pick up the paper ball, I took the paper ball with one hand and put it in my pocket.
When we walked out of the store, I put Zhang Tong down, turned around and locked the store door, and then quickly opened the paper ball in my pocket and looked at it, inside the paper ball was a painting, a small person with two heads.
