While shaving Wang Banxian's pubic head, Tang Qing accidentally missed it and the razor was stained with blood. From a superstitious point of view, it was actually a blessing for the Wang family, but it was a great disadvantage for Tang Qing himself.
"Blood" is red, and red represents auspiciousness, celebration, passion, and happiness.
Death means that energy is exhausted and everything returns to zero, which is the beginning of darkness.
If there is blood and red, doesn't that mean that this family will continue to be full of energy and become more enthusiastic and prosperous in the future?
As for Tang Qing, because her meal was stained with the blood of a dead person, her bowl of handmade rice will be over and she will die.
Therefore, the owner needs to wipe the blood from the razor for her and give her twice as much money as usual for shaving her vagina to wash away the bad luck.
But with the Wang family at that time, it was not easy for Tang Qing to leave safely.
Of course, these are all superstitions, and Tang Qing doesn't take them seriously.
I remember when my grandfather talked about this when I was a child, little Tang Qing couldn't help but raise his head and retort to his grandfather in a childlike voice:
"Grandpa, since it's good for the owner to see blood when shaving your vagina, why don't you deliberately shave it to make it bleed?"
"Nothing should be done deliberately, you must let nature take its course. Besides, if blood is stained on the razor, your job will be ruined, right?"
"Wouldn't the master give you more money to help you? How could your job be ruined?"
"this?"
Grandpa was speechless for a moment, and dad said from the side:
"If your razor is stained with the blood of a dead man, will anyone still ask you to shave it?"
"Then just wipe it off and it's over? No one else will know."
"Of course others may not know, but are you okay with it yourself? We can't do things against our conscience just because others don't know."
"Then it's better not to shave your vagina."
"If you don't shave and he doesn't shave, who will shave?"
"Then let's go shave."
There are indeed not many barbers in Yancheng who are willing to shave their pubic heads, especially now. Who is willing to do such a job? Tang Qing is probably the only one at the moment.
The bloody razor was wiped clean. There were many tools in the shaving box, and there was also an extra red cloth bag.
Tang Qing put back the razor and opened the red cloth bag.
Inside the red cloth bag was a white towel and a pack of high-end cigarettes, five hundred yuan.
A white towel and a pack of cigarettes are the return gifts given to all the relatives and friends who came to pay homage to Yancheng to express their gratitude.
Could it be that he came here early in the morning and took the shaving box and disposed of it?
Alas, he himself has a hard time, but considering this aspect, it seems that the People's Barber Shop should still welcome him.
Tang Qing originally didn't welcome him back to the store, but now he thinks that sometimes he thinks about problems too extreme and thinks too much from his own perspective.
In fact, he also has his own difficulties, and every family has its own sutras that are difficult to recite!
I accepted the white towel and cigarettes, but I had to return the five hundred yuan to him no matter what. This was a matter of principle.
Tang Qing thought of this, picked up the shaving box and entered the house.
"Today is your holiday, are you okay there? It has been three years, you should have adapted to life there, right?"
After Tang Qing was busy for a while, he sat at the dining table and talked to his dead husband.
There was a plate of peanuts, a plate of braised duck feet, and a plate of mille-feuille on the dining table.
When her husband was alive, she lived a very frugal life, especially in terms of food, which was similar to that of Tang Qing. She basically ate pickles and radish sticks, and at most she drank a bottle of local cheap beer in the summer and only had a few snacks to go with the wine.
Peanuts and braised duck feet are considered luxuries, and you can only eat one or two during the Chinese New Year.
Tang Qing also likes to eat braised duck feet, but she is reluctant to do so. Although she can braise it herself, it tastes even better than the ones bought at delicatessen stalls, which is her husband's evaluation.
After her husband passed away, Tang Qing would often braise duck feet, but instead of chewing them herself, she would chew them for her husband.
"It may be a bit salty this time. The salt now is fine and white. If you add too much refined salt, it will not be salty. If you add too much, it will be too salty. It is not the coarse salt of the past. Just put a few grains of salt. It is also cheap.
Alas, the prices of everything have increased now, so you still have to live a careful life."
Tang Qing looked at the small flames of the two candles and chatted about the daily routine with her husband.
Yes, it's just a matter of family, not love talk.
She and her husband have never said "I love you" or "you love me" between them. From the introduction to the death of drowning, the relationship between the two is nothing more than what to eat today and what to wear tomorrow. They have a son.
Finally, I didn’t even save on what to eat and what to wear. I only had to worry about how much I could save this month and whether there would be enough money for my son to go to kindergarten in the future...
"You told me not to save money in daily life? Should I eat, eat? Should I wear, wear? You said it easily. Xiaoqiang is growing tall now. The clothes I bought in the first half of the year will not be worn in the second half of the year. The shoes are even worse. It takes a few months to wear my toes.
Just touch the tip of your shoe."
Although Tang Qing said this, her heart was still filled with happiness as her son grew up day by day.
"Don't worry, I will ensure that my son grows up happily and will not let him suffer any injustice."
Now, her son is the important support and only hope of Tang Qing's life. Of course, Tang Qing hopes that her son can live with her, but she knows that her parents-in-law need her grandson more at this time to appease their grief of losing a son in old age.
"You said you asked me to find another one? I guess the optician is interested in me and could consider it? What did you say? If you say that again, believe it or not, I will shave your feet with a razor!"
Tang Qing's previous method of punishing her husband was to shave off all the hair on his feet with a razor, and then use tape to tape the vigorously growing foot hair after it grew back.
"I'm telling you, it's okay to have a man like you in my life! Grandpa said that a person's life is said to be very long, but also very short. No one knows what will happen tomorrow, so I'd better shave my head with peace of mind.
Let’s raise Xiaoqiang up with peace of mind and don’t think about anything else!”
Tang Qing's life plan is indeed very simple and he has no big ideals.
"You said I can't feel at ease? Why? Aren't I very at ease? Did I lie to myself? Oh, you said I care about Li Li? That has nothing to do with my life. That's because I was entrusted by Master Li to help her.
To rectify the reputation of the Li family."
Tang Qing himself found it funny when he thought of this. Helping Li Li rehabilitate the Li family's reputation? Is it possible?
Not to mention whether Li Li needs your help from Tang Qing, even if she does, can you help her?
You, Tang Qing, are just an ordinary barber. Can you help Li Li, a big boss?
Hey, is Li Li pregnant?
It stands to reason that a doctor with glasses would not lie, and there is no need to lie, although he is a shady person and not aboveboard.
If she is pregnant, whose child will it be?
It is definitely impossible for her ex-husband, little man? It should be impossible, Li Li would not have such vulgar taste.
Does anyone outside know that Li Li is pregnant? How many people know that Li Li just got divorced and is pregnant again?
Fortunately, no one who came to the People's Barber Shop mentioned Li Li's pregnancy. But there was no way they knew about the unpleasantness between Li Li and me and deliberately didn't mention it in front of me.
Yes, didn't Bao Wenzhen want to tell me about Li Li today? I'm sure it was about her pregnancy.
Alas, why did I know that the old dragon came in when I was just about to say something? There was no need to guess like this.
Bao asked if he wanted to talk about Li Li's pregnancy? Do people outside know about Li Li's pregnancy? Was Li Li pregnant?
Tang Qing went around and around, and then went back to the original "ends". His mind became more and more confused, and he fell dizzy on the dining table.
"Did the candles go out? You can enjoy your holiday well. I'm a little tired, so I'm going to bed first."
Tang Qing didn't bother to tidy up, so he washed up hastily and fell asleep, no longer caring about those "in the end".
But after lying in bed, no matter how hard I couldn't fall asleep, my mind became more alert.
"Hmm? Where are the photos? Where are our photos?"
Tang Qing jumped up from the bed. The wedding photo of her and her husband that was originally hanging on the wall beside the bed disappeared.
