"Manager Tang, don't scare me, how could the People's Barber Shop not exist?"
Tang Qing's father's words confused not only Tang Qing, but also the Shanghai aunt who spoke in a mixture of Shanghainese and Mandarin. She was quite surprised.
The same goes for everyone else. Wang Carpenter is a person who is accustomed to talking about big books. When he heard that the People's Barber Shop did not exist, he stood up from the stool in a hurry. He didn't bother to put down his chopsticks and asked Tang Qing's father urgently:
"Manager Tang, is it because the optician took out that thing in the People's Barber Shop that it needs to be banned?"
"The damn spectacle doctor couldn't kill Master Jiu Jin, but he killed the People's Barber Shop!"
"tnd, I'll go to the barber shop and kill him first. As long as I can keep the People's Barber Shop alive, I'm willing to die myself!"
Butcher and Da Mao were furious.
"Everyone, don't be anxious. Listen to me slowly. Qing'er, don't get angry. Sit down first."
Seeing this attitude, Tang Qing's father felt a little regretful, regretting that he should not have spoken so quickly.
"You, why are you talking like this while eating? Can't you wait until the meal is finished before you talk to Qing'er in private?"
Tang Qing's mother served two plates of food and complained about Tang Qing's father.
"I, I didn't mean to do it. However, sooner or later, I will face this matter. I didn't know how to tell Qing'er at first. Now that I have said it, I will explain it in detail. Everyone can help us as much as possible.
Qing'er, let me thank you all on Qing'er's behalf first."
Tang Qing's father bowed to everyone.
"Manager Tang, you are serious."
"Manager Tang, Master Jiujin has helped us so much, it is our duty to help her."
"Uncle Tang, just tell me how you can help Master Jiujin keep the People's Barber Shop. I will go up to the sword and go down to the sea of fire without any hesitation!"
…
"Stop talking! Dad, please stop acting like a little girl. Has the reform of the People's Barber Shop been officially decided?"
Faced with his father's uncharacteristic behavior and everyone's determination, Tang Qing became even more angry.
"Qing'er, it's not just a matter of restructuring. According to the plan, the square will be expanded and half of the downtown street will be demolished."
"Half of the downtown street needs to be demolished? The People's Barber Shop is included?"
"It just happened to be demolished here at the People's Barber Shop."
"are you sure?"
"Ever since I heard that the People's Barber Shop was going to be restructured, I went to the bureau every day to inquire about the news. Just after this morning, the office director told me that the bureau has decided that the restructuring of the People's Barber Shop will be combined with the demolition."
"Is there a specific date?"
“We don’t have a specific date yet, we said we will make a decision after the authorities confirm the demolition time.”
"Okay, I understand. Everyone, continue eating."
Tang Qing asked about the situation, sat down again and picked up his rice bowl to eat.
"Qing'er, you have to think about countermeasures in advance."
Tang Qing's father was worried.
"Dad, can you eat first? Everyone is still hungry."
Tang Qing immersed himself in eating.
Seeing Tang Qing like this, Tang Qing's father couldn't say any more. He picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Wang Carpenter and drank. The others did not dare to speak. The butcher and Da Mao drank beer silently, Shanghai Aunt, Silly Aunt
, Wang Xinjie was busy eating.
Only Li Ya, who had not participated in the conversation just now, had already finished her meal and asked Tang Qing with a smile:
"Master Jiujin, wouldn't you make a fortune from demolition? You should be happy."
Tang Qing knew that Li Ya was innocent. The hottest word in society right now was demolition. Whenever demolition was mentioned, it was always associated with the nouveau riche, wealthy people, wealthy people, etc.
"Liya, the People's Barber Shop belongs to the public, and demolition has nothing to do with Qing'er."
Tang Qing's father didn't wait for Tang Qing to answer Li Ya, and hurriedly explained to Li Ya that this might be what he was worried about.
"Uncle Tang, can Master Jiujin find a better store and open a larger and more stylish beauty salon?"
"Liya, the rent for stores in Shancheng is ridiculously expensive now. A garage in a remote street costs tens of thousands a year."
"Uncle Tang, can I open a shop in the garage?"
“As long as it faces the street, shops are open.”
"Oh, Master Jiujin, why don't you drive to the place where my sister wanted to drive last time? The house there is very big and very lively."
"Liya, I can't afford to rent the place your sister likes. It costs hundreds of thousands a month."
"Oh, so expensive?"
Li Ya stuck out her tongue.
"Okay, you don't need to worry about me. You don't need to be unhappy about me. Mom and Dad, you too, you should eat, eat! Drink, drink! When a boat reaches the bridge, it will naturally go straight, and when a car reaches the mountain, there will be a way. , this People’s Barber Shop cannot continue to operate, at worst I will take on the burden of shaving hair left by my grandfather, and travel to villages and alleys to be my nine-pound master, and I can travel by the way.”
Tang Qing looked nonchalant.
"Master Jiujin, this is so fun, I'll join you."
Li Ya also took it seriously.
"Okay, when the time comes, I will shave my head and you will be responsible for collecting the money. We will travel all over the mountains and rivers of Yancheng and eat all kinds of delicacies in Yancheng. Li Ya, do you know? Our Yancheng is a pearl on the road of Tang poetry. There are so many fun places to go and there are so many delicious food to go to.”
Tang Qing said it vividly.
"Master Jiujin, then I won't go back tomorrow. Xinjie, please refund the ticket for me."
Li Ya took out the bus ticket and handed it to Wang Xinjie.
"Master Jiujin, this?"
Wang Xinjie was embarrassed and looked at Tang Qing, wondering whether to accept Li Ya's ticket or not.
"Liya, you'd better go back tomorrow. Firstly, Xinjie needs your care along the way. Secondly, hasn't the People's Barber Shop been restructured and demolished yet? After it is officially restructured and demolished, you can come back and we can shoulder the burden of shaving our heads together. Shave your head.”
Tang Qing had to coax Li Ya to stop talking nonsense.
"Master Jiujin, please don't lie to me."
Li Ya was a little disappointed.
"Don't worry, who is my master Jiujin? A gentleman's words are hard to follow, so why don't we pull the hook?"
Tang Qing stretched out his finger to Li Ya.
"Okay, hook!"
"Hang yourself with a hook, and it won't change for a hundred years."
"Who becomes a puppy!"
"Mom, I want to pull the hook too!"
Xiaoqiang ran in and couldn't help but stretched out his little finger to hook Tang Qing's and Li Ya's fingers.
"Xiaoqiang, do you know why mom and auntie are hooking up?"
"I don't care what the reason is, it's definitely a good thing to pull the hook anyway. You can't pull me down."
"Okay, okay, then the three of us will pull the hook together..."
"Qingtuan, I want to pull it too!"
Shibani suddenly stood up. Since he sat down at the dining table, he had only been drinking and eating. Other things seemed to have nothing to do with him.
"Why are you pulling with us?"
Xiaoqiang raised his little tiger head and asked in a childlike voice.
"Because I want to be your daddy!"
'"What?!"
Shiba's words caused the Tang family's courtyard, which had just become active again, to fall into silence again.
Except for Shibawei himself, the adults were all dumbfounded and looked at each other, unable to react. Especially Tang Qing’s parents, who looked at Shibawei and Tang Qing, were completely confused.
"You are a bad person, a big bad person! I already have a father and I don't need a second father. I will not allow my mother to marry another man, otherwise I will commit suicide!"
Xiaoqiang was the first to break the silence. He rushed to Shibawei, headbutted him as hard as he could, and kept scolding him.
"Xiaoqiang, what are you kidding about?"
"Suicide? Do you, a child, understand what suicide is?"
Tang Qing's mother and father went over to pull Xiaoqiang.
"Grandma and grandpa, I didn't say anything nonsense, I know how to commit suicide!"
Xiaoqiang looked stubborn.
"You're still talking nonsense!"
"Besides, grandpa and grandma are going to be angry."
Tang Qing's parents darkened their faces.
"Grandpa and grandma, I really know how to commit suicide. Grandpa and grandma teach me every day that if my mother wants to marry another man and leave me alone, then let me commit suicide. I can go to West Bridge to jump in the Yan River, where
This is the place where my father died. If I jump down, I can reunite with him in another world."
Xiaoqiang said it plausibly.
"My child! Wuwuwu..."
Tang Qing rushed over, hugged Xiaoqiang, and cried so hard that his heart was broken and his heart was broken!
