buy spring

After six o'clock in the morning, Huajie had already returned to calm.The doors of large and small stores are closed tightly, and the inside where the shutter doors are not closed is also dark.Apart from the occasional morning bus whizzing past on the street, there is only the sound of sanitation workers sweeping the street with a big broom.

The rigid voice woke up Li Jichun, sat up from the sofa in a daze, and rubbed his eyes.

The shop was dark and quiet.Mu sat staring blankly for a while before Li Jichun remembered that Xiaoyan and Xiangxiang went to the hotel last night, and the guest bought a package for the night, so he might not be able to come back until morning.As for the two who didn't make a deal—the breeze in the attic was quiet, and they presumably fell asleep.

So Li Jichun yawned, washed his face with the tap downstairs, took his wallet key and went out.

It was still a little cold in the morning in early spring, and when the wind blew, Li Jichun couldn't help tightening his coat.

He walked through the streets of Huajie.In the early morning, the street showed a completely different deserted color from that at night, like a coquettish beauty finally shedding her flashy and heavy makeup, revealing her pale face.But after climbing up a stone ladder, the world is very different.

Above the stone stairs is a lively vegetable market. Although it is still early, the farmers who are responsible for selling vegetables have already lined up on the side of the road. All kinds of early shops on the side roads have opened, and fragrant white gas is coming out of the steamer.

Li Jichun weighed some pork belly, chose a few side dishes, and bought steamed stuffed buns and soy milk for two on the return trip, and then walked back with a few plastic bags.

He didn't go back to the store, but went directly to the residential building behind from the side alley.The store is where the ladies sleep and do business. He also knows that this kind of place is not suitable for children to come and go, so he has rented this house since he took his son to the city to go to school, and usually prohibits his son from coming to the store. Find him, come back from school, go directly upstairs.

"Zhaohui, get up and go to school."

A sleepy little face slowly emerged from the bed, "Dad..."

Li Zhaohui combined the advantages of both parents in appearance, with a palm-sized face and dark eyes, no matter how you look at it, he is a very cute and good boy.But what hurts the most about him is not his appearance, but his sensibility and precocity: children in ordinary families have more or less bad habits of staying in bed in the morning, and adults have to lie and coax them to help them. Get dressed.When it came to Li Zhaohui, it was probably because he had no mother since he was a child, so he didn't have a chance to act like a baby. Li Jichun went into the kitchen to get the bowls and chopsticks, and the child had already sat up and rubbed his eyes to dress himself.

After washing up, the father and son sat down to have breakfast together.After dinner in the evening, Li Jichun was going to go down to open the shop, and when the child came back at noon, he fell asleep again, so there was only a little more time in the morning, so that the father and son could talk for a while while eating.

The response between the two is usually as follows:

Li Jichun: In class, you should listen to the lectures, listen to the teacher's words, study hard, unite and eat less junk food at the school gate.

Li Zhaohui just nodded in response to all the exhortations. Seeing how cute he was nodding while nibbling on the steamed stuffed bun, Li Jichun consciously saved all nonsense, couldn't help but patted his head and sighed.

After seeing off his son, he started to tidy up the house, washing and drying what needed to be done, and didn't go to bed until after nine o'clock.

Humans are born diurnal creatures, and it is not easy to fall asleep in broad daylight.Li Jichun lay on the bed, cultivating drowsiness while letting his thoughts wander aimlessly.

He thought that his son was growing up day by day, and the environment of Huajie was obviously not conducive to the growth of the child.It's small now, the problem is not very obvious, if you reach puberty in the future and understand personnel, you will definitely not be able to live here anymore, besides, this industry is always a side door, and you can't see the light. , but it may be severely cracked down when, so hurry up and save more money and change careers as soon as possible!

To be honest, Li Jichun still finds it inconceivable that he, a child of a peasant family, would accidentally get involved in this business for several years.

There are so many hairdressing and beauty salons in Huajie, most of the bosses come from two backgrounds: one is a young lady who finds a man and goes ashore, and transitions into a bustard; Fast money.

Li Jichun was dragged in by his uncle and aunt.The couple had bright minds, and in the [-]s, they took a few girls from the village out to make money, and later rented a storefront in Huajie, making them very popular.

That year, Li Jichun's uncle was seriously ill, and his aunt ran across the hospital and couldn't take care of her, so she thought about finding a trustworthy person to help, so she came to Li Jichun.

My aunt thought so at the time. First, this child is her nephew, not an outsider; second, she just ran away from his wife, and it is said that he thinks he is poor.The third thing is that it is out of self-interested considerations.There is no man in this store who can't stand upright, at least there must be a watcher so that he won't be bullied by his peers.So he mustered up a three-inch tongue, moved it with affection and showed it with benefit, and Li Jichun was persuaded.

Although Li Jichun was already the father of a two-year-old child at that time, he was still a few months away from turning 25, and he was so shy when he came to this kind of place, so don't mention how embarrassing he is.So every day I just cook and look at the store, and don't say a word.

But later he discovered to his horror that people's ideas are really open!Finding ladies seems to have become a very normal recreational activity, and there is no need to hide it. Customers walk shoulder to shoulder in small groups and review each store one by one. When they see something they like, they go in and negotiate the price.Someone even came in and opened his mouth and asked, "Is there any miss?" The tone and expression were as calm and calm as when he went to a noodle shop and asked, "Is there any miscellaneous noodles?"

So gradually, Li Jichun crossed a psychological hurdle and was able to treat him with a normal heart.Like most nightclub operators, he could sell the ladies as a special commodity with a smile.The money came quickly and easily, so he and the girls in the store had a common goal, which was to seize every opportunity to make money and then change careers.
