Three hundred and fortieth chapters neighbors love
Tang Qing suddenly thought of a way to get the best of both worlds, which was to let her parents and father-in-law live in her small house. Their small courtyard was used to open a people's barber shop, with the shop downstairs and her and Xiaoqiang sleeping upstairs. This was convenient.
Saved money on rent.
Unexpectedly, Director Liu and Police Officer Xiao Wang said that the Tang family courtyard would also be demolished, which made Tang Qing, who had just had a glimmer of hope in her heart, upset again.
Director Liu and Police Officer Xiao Wang pulled Tang Qing to the entrance of the People's Barber Shop and asked her to open the door.
Tang Qingmu took out the key in a daze, opened the door of the People's Barber Shop, walked into the shop and sat down on the barber's chair, as if he had lost his soul.
"Master Jiujin, don't lose confidence."
"Director Liu and I..."
"Stop talking, I don't need your pity and sympathy!"
Tang Qing didn't wait for Police Officer Xiao Wang to finish speaking. After shouting, he put his head in his hands and sobbed silently.
Silence...
Only the old-fashioned chiming clock on the wall kept ticking, while everything else stood still.
I don’t know how long it took, but a young voice sounded in Tang Qing’s ears:
"Mom, it's time to go back to bed."
Tang Qing raised his head and stared at his son with tearful eyes.
"Why are you here? Have you finished your homework?"
"It's finished, Mom. There are many grandparents, uncles, aunts and uncles at the door to see you."
"ah?!"
Tang Qing looked outside and saw that under the dim street lights, from the entrance of the People's Barber Shop to the downtown street, the neighbors were standing darkly.
"you?"
Tang Qing came to the door.
"Master Jiujin, this is my opinion."
"Master Jiujin, although the money is not much, I hope it can relieve your worries."
"Master Jiu Jin, you must keep the People's Barber Shop open."
"Master Jiujin, we will always be your strong backing, you must not collapse!"
"..."
There were hundreds of neighbors who came to People's Barber Shop, standing from the entrance of the shop to the intersection of Shixin Street.
Among these people were Tang Qing's relatives, parents and father-in-law.
There is Li Ya, the contractor, and the little secretary.
There are regular customers of the People's Barber Shop, Carpenter Wang, the Pig Killer, Shanghai Aunt, Da Mao, Sha Gu, Shi Shiba Ni, the eldest cousin, Bao Wentan and his woman, the little bald couple, etc.
There are old customers of the People's Barber Shop, operators of other shops on the downtown street, homeroom teachers and classmates, new neighbors who have never met before, and even some strangers.
Everyone had a wad of money in their hands, and they brought money to Tang Qing.
Tang Qing burst into tears instantly and held on to the door of the People's Barber Shop, unable to say a word.
"Everyone, on behalf of Master Jiujin, I would like to thank you all. Master Jiujin has accepted the kindness of the neighbors, but Master Jiujin will not and cannot take your money!"
Director Liu stepped forward and spoke loudly.
"Director Liu, we are not providing Master Jiu Jin personally, we are providing the People's Barber Shop. We hope that the People's Barber Shop will exist forever!"
"Yes, we hope the People's Barber Shop will exist forever!"
“The People’s Barber Shop brand cannot be failed!”
"Master Jiujin cannot fail!"
"..."
"Everyone, I feel the same as everyone else. I also hope that the People's Barber Shop will stay open forever. Master Jiujin will always be a caring person to our neighbors!"
"Director Liu, then you should think of something for Master Jiujin?"
"Yes, you are the director of the neighborhood committee and our parent officer. You should think of something for Master Jiujin."
"The neighborhood committee cannot just watch the People's Barber Shop close its doors and see Master Jiu Jin in trouble."
"..."
"Everyone, Police Officer Xiao Wang and I are here today just for the People's Barber Shop and Master Jiu Jin. You can rest assured that our neighborhood committee will not sit idly by and will definitely assist Master Jiu Jin to open the People's Barber Shop properly.
"
"Director Liu, what's the point of talking?"
"Yes, we need to take practical actions!"
"It's almost the end of the month, and Master Jiujin hasn't found a new store yet."
"..."
"Everyone, don't worry. Our neighborhood committee and office have already found a storefront room for Master Jiujin. As long as Master Jiujin is willing, we can start the decoration tomorrow."
"Director Liu, what did you say?!"
Tang Qing had been leaning against the door frame of the People's Barber Shop. He was moved by the love his neighbors had for the People's Barber Shop and for himself, but also lost in his own helplessness, powerlessness and incompetence. When Director Liu said that the neighborhood committee and
The institute had already found a storefront room for him, and he went over to grab Director Liu's arm in surprise.
"Master Jiujin, Policeman Xiao Wang and I are here today to discuss with you the decoration of the new People's Barber Shop and the relocation of the old one."
"ah?!"
Tang Qing hugged Director Liu tightly and burst into tears.
"Police Officer Xiao Wang, didn't you tell Master Jiujin?"
Director Liu saw Tang Qing like this and looked at Policeman Xiao Wang in confusion.
"I want to wait for you to come over and tell me."
Policeman Xiao Wang answered Director Liu softly.
"Wait for me to come over and tell you? You, why are you so afraid to say anything when you see Master Jiujin?"
Director Liu blamed Policeman Xiao Wang.
"I'm worried that Master Jiujin won't agree, and there will be no room for maneuver, so I still want to wait for you to come over and talk to Master Jiujin."
Policeman Xiao Wang looked almost like a child at this time, without the domineering presence of a director at all.
"Oh, I thought you had already told Master Jiujin. Master Jiujin hasn't made up his mind yet, so I've been waiting here to hear Master Jiujin's final decision. I'm too embarrassed to say more."
Director Liu was dumbfounded.
"Director Liu, Police Officer Xiao Wang, what do you want to say to me?"
Tang Qing let go of Director Liu, wiped away his tears and regained his composure.
"Master Jiujin, our neighborhood committee has discussed with the office and decided to free up a public room for you to open a people's barber shop."
Director Liu formally notified Tang Qing.
"Is it possible to free up a public house and open a people's barber shop for me?"
Tang Qing was in disbelief.
"Master Jiujin, how could Director Liu and I joke about something like this?"
Policeman Xiao Wang walked to Tang Qing.
"Where is the public housing? Can I go over and have a look now?"
Tang Qing couldn't wait to take police officer Xiao Wang's hand and walk towards the downtown street.
"The neighbors are all here."
Policeman Xiao Wang quickly shook off Tang Qing's hand.
"Everyone, please come back. Our neighborhood committee and the barber shop will help Master Jiujin build the new storefront of the People's Barber Shop. It's right next to the square. It won't be long before we can welcome you with a brand new look."
Director Liu announced to the neighbors.
"Next to the square?"
"Which room is it?"
"Let's go over and take a look."
The neighbors followed Director Liu, Police Officer Xiao Wang, and Tang Qing to the edge of the square to look at the storefronts.
"This is the one!"
Director Liu came to a store next to the square.
This shop faces south and faces the sun, and is twice as big as the current People's Barber Shop. More importantly, it has a superior geographical location, facing the square.
Policeman Xiao Wang took out his key and pressed the button, and the automatic rolling shutter door of the storefront slowly rolled up.
"Wow, not bad!"
“This is the perfect place to be a people’s barber shop!”
"In this case, I will become a regular customer of People's Barber Shop in the future!"
"..."
Neighbors rushed in to visit the new People's Barber Shop.
Tang Qing's parents and father-in-law, as well as the former regulars of the People's Barber Shop, were even more happy. They couldn't help but plan where the barber chair should be placed? Where should the hair curling machine be placed?
Only Tang Qing stood at the door feeling depressed, and the joy along the way disappeared.
"Master Jiujin, what's wrong with you? Don't you like this store?"
"Liya, of course I like this store, but can I afford to rent it? I probably won't be able to earn rent by operating 24 hours a day."
"Master Jiujin, I will pay the rent."
"You come again, can I accept it?"
"Then isn't this happiness in vain?"
"Sigh, it's hard for Director Liu and Police Officer Xiao Wang to share their feelings."
"No wonder Director Liu and Police Officer Xiao Wang sat in the store for so long without telling you the truth. It turns out it's the vase on the calendar - it's just fancy but not useful!"
"Manager Li, this is not the vase on the calendar. Master Jiujin, you don't need any rent for this store."
