After some wonderful publicity by Bao Wenduo, Li Li's image in Yancheng suddenly became taller and her reputation became even louder than before.
Even when her company went bankrupt, the bad guys blamed two ungrateful people, Li Zhong and Li Cheng, saying that Li Li transferred her assets because she was too sad and had no intention of doing business anymore. She sold the big villa.
Out of filial piety to Mr. Li, she wanted to live in the old house all the time and accompany Mr. Li.
The public opinion on the street is like this. When you say something bad about a person or something, they will say that you are good for nothing and cannot be the worst!
When it comes to a person or something good, it cannot be more perfect than perfect. Even if there are flaws, they are still advantages. It is not just that the flaws cannot hide the advantages, but the flaws are also advantages.
Tang Qing was happy but at the same time she felt a great sense of loss. This sense of loss was not because Li Li's reputation had once again overshadowed her as a nine-pound master.
Successfully dealt with the Li family inheritance crisis, sought justice for the Shanghai aunt, changed the attitude of Carpenter Wang’s wife and daughter-in-law towards Carpenter Wang in one sentence, quietly sent the doctor with glasses in to eat light steamed buns, etc., the name of Tang Qing, the master of Jiujin
His head once overtook Li Li and Li Zapo in Shancheng.
Tang Qing didn't want a reputation. She tried her best to get close to Li Li and please Li Li. She was completely entrusted by Master Li to help Li Li maintain the reputation of the Li family.
So far, the Li family's reputation and Li Li's reputation are still good. Tang Qing is happy in her heart. What she is disappointed about is that there are fewer and fewer customers in the People's Barber Shop. Even the regular customers have disappeared en masse recently and have not come.
The first lunar month is already over, so why are there still so few people coming to the People's Barber Shop? Are everyone still busy visiting relatives and friends? How is that possible? Students go to school as normal, factories are operating as normal, and people walking on the embankment are walking as normal.
So why is the People’s Barber Shop still not normal? Is it because my shaving skills are poor? People don’t want to come here anymore? I think it’s still the same? In order to adapt to the market, didn’t a new hair perm machine be purchased during the Chinese New Year?
Although the hair perm machine was not as amazing as the salesman said, and although it burned Li Li's hair, it was still good to use, right?
Li Li had her hair permed again a few days ago. Didn't she keep praising me for getting it permed better than barbers in big cities?
Li Li? Is it because of Li Li?
Tang Qing looked at Li Li, who was sitting in a special barber chair with her eyes closed, and then looked at the downtown street outside the shop, feeling melancholy in her heart.
"The pear blossoms are pale white and the willows are dark green,
When catkins fly, the city is filled with flowers.
Melancholy, a tree in the east column is covered with snow,
How clearly you can see life."
Tang Qing didn't know what kind of mood Mr. Su Shi and Su Dongpo were in when he wrote these poems, and he didn't fully understand the meaning of the poems. However, when he was teaching his son to memorize ancient poems a few days ago, he read this poem several times and felt that it was similar to his own.
The moods of the past few days are somewhat consistent.
"Melancholy, a snow plant in the east column makes life so clear."
In this life, why should we cause troubles to ourselves? It doesn’t matter whether it is short-term or long-term. Isn’t it good to live a normal life?
At the beginning, I really hoped that Li Li could come to the People's Barber Shop, ask me to have my hair done, sit in this special barber chair, chat with me like neighbors, and talk about what's on her mind.
Now that everything has come true, why am I feeling melancholy and lost?
"Pig killer?"
While Tang Qing was thinking wildly, he saw the butcher flashing past the door of the People's Barber Shop.
"Stop!"
Tang Qing rushed out of the People's Barber Shop and stopped the butcher on the street.
"Master Jiu, Jiu, Jiujin, you, you, are you okay?"
The butcher was a little nervous.
"I have nothing to do and I can't call you? Tell me, what have you been doing all these days? Why don't you come to the store and talk nonsense?"
Tang Qing asked.
"I, I'm busy, busy."
The pig-killer didn't dare to look at Tang Qing, and tried to cover his head with his big hands.
"Well, you butcher, not only did you not come to my shop, but you also went to someone else's place to get your hair shaved? Tell me, where did you get this crooked shave?"
Tang Qing opened the pig-butcher's two big hands.
"I, I, I..."
The butcher was hesitating and speechless.
"Goose goose, have you become a goose? You are still singing to Tiange! Why don't you come to my shop? Why do you go to someone else's place to get your hair shaved?"
The pronunciation of "I" in Yancheng dialect is the same as "goose", both with an "e" sound.
"Master Jiujin, aren't you busy?"
The butcher replied in a low voice.
"I'm busy? What am I busy with? When I was busy before, didn't you come to my store every day to talk nonsense and couldn't even drive you away?"
Master? The same goes for Auntie from Shanghai. She used to come here every day for three hundred and sixty-five days to report, but now it’s better. She hasn’t come for almost half a month. I’m so angry!”
Tang Qing was really angry, especially when he saw the butcher actually went to another barber shop to have his head shaved. He was really angry.
Seeing that Tang Qing was really angry and quite angry, the butcher wanted to run away, but his feet just couldn't move. He was afraid of Tang Qing from the bottom of his heart, thinking that Tang Qing, who was only thirteen years old, broke the beer bottle to get the glass.
The stubble threatened him, and he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. Even now, he often wakes up from his dreams.
Tang Qing became even more angry when he saw the pig-butcher standing stupidly in front of him, motionless and silent.
"Goose, goose, goose, don't you want to goose? If you don't want to goose, I want you to goose!"
Tang Qing took out the razor.
"Hey, hey, Master Jiujin, what's going on? How can you use a razor on the butcher?"
The Shanghai aunt rushed over and grabbed Tang Qing's hand holding the razor.
"It's so good of you to come. You two, make my white hair float in the green water and float to the People's Barber Shop as soon as possible!"
Tang Qing shook off Aunt Shanghai's hand.
"Master Jiujin, don't you understand, how can white hair float in green water? What is white hair floating in green water?"
"Don't ask too much, Master Jiu Jin asked us to float like geese into the People's Barber Shop."
The butcher reacted and took Auntie Shanghai to the People's Barber Shop.
"Floating like a goose? How can I float? There is no sound in the street and there is no water?"
The Shanghai aunt asked as she walked, completely confused.
"Sit down, you big pig head, I have to repair it for you. Otherwise, you pig-butcher will go out with a crooked melon and a cracked jujube, and people will think that my master Jiujin's head-shaving skills are useless!"
Tang Qing dragged the butcher to sit down on the barber's chair. He couldn't help but pick up the clippers and pointed them at the butcher's head.
"Master Jiujin, do you want to shave Yi's head?"
The Shanghai aunt looked at the pig-butcher's shiny head in the barber mirror, her eyes widening.
"Can I fix it without shaving my head? Don't worry, it won't affect your rendezvous in the forest shed in Lushan Park in the warm spring."
Tang Qing angrily used a razor to shave off the roots of Pig Butcher's hair.
"Master Jiujin, what are you talking about? Alas, he behaves according to the rules. Alas has never built a forest shed in Lushan Park."
Auntie Shanghai said, her face turned red.
"I didn't say you've already been there. I meant that when the spring flowers bloom, you can go to the forest shed in Lushan Park for a tryst. The butcher can shave his head and light it up for you."
The razor in Tang Qing's hand was very fast, and so was his mouth.
"Master Jiujin, we don't go to the forest shed in Lushan Park. Auntie Shanghai said she's scared. She still likes to go to the bridge tunnel at East Bridge."
"Pig-killer, have you been shot in the head? How dare you say such things? Ala and I have only been to the bridge a few times. Last night, we were almost pushed off the bridge by the beggar sleeping there.
Creek."
"Hahaha……"
Tang Qing and Li Li laughed so hard that they couldn't stop.
"Oh my, I'm so embarrassed, pig-killer, Nong's longevity, Nong's longevity!"
The Shanghai aunt slapped the butcher hard with both hands.
Li Li persuaded:
"Aunt Shanghai, I think it would be better for Nong and the pig butcher to go to the forest shed in Lushan Park from now on. There will be no beggars coming back to push you in the middle of the night. However, Master Jiu Jin will have to match the pig butcher with a headgear."
