Before the New Year holiday, Su Tiantian was tricked into returning home by a 200,000 yuan promise. The village distributing land money was real, but the desire to trick her into coming home early ...
Liu Jingze proudly said, "After lunch, they were going to a ceremony. Tiantian said she wanted to take a nap and took me with her. After dinner in the evening, the group of friends said they wanted to go get their hair washed, sing, drink, etc. Tiantian said she was tired and asked me to take her home. They didn't dare to stop her. Tiantian can be quite adorable sometimes."
Liu Zhaosheng reached out and tapped Liu Jingze's forehead and said, "Even if you run away today, you can't run away tomorrow. As his brother-in-law, you must do your best to help your brother-in-law block the bar. Liangjie will probably drink a lot tomorrow."
Liu Jingze said, "Godfather, I think you are the same. If you stand with Dad, how could they let you go? This morning, my father-in-law asked you why you didn't go, and I told you to go tomorrow morning."
Lan Quancong said, "Yes, Mr. Liu is also the in-law of the Su family, so there must be people who want to drink with him. Ah Yang said that he heard a lot of people calling Mr. Liu "brother-in-law" today, which made him laugh. He also heard someone say that Mr. Liu, as his brother-in-law, must be allowed to drink more."
Liu Jingze said: "He didn't laugh at the time, but he was actually laughing inside. Tomorrow, I, the eldest brother-in-law, will have the New Daughter Tea. This is the traditional way of saying it. Normally, people rarely call me "elder brother-in-law." But Tiantian was constantly being called "elder sister-in-law" and "elder auntie" today."
The three of them chatted while Achang meticulously cut his hair. He would sometimes narrow his eyes to carefully observe the even length and layers of the hair; sometimes he would pause to gently lift a few strands with his fingers, examining them carefully as he considered his next trimming direction.
As he trimmed his bangs, he leaned forward, his expression remarkably focused. His left hand smoothed the bangs, while the scissors in his right hand carefully moved through the ends of his hair. He gently gathered the hair in his hand as he worked on the details of the ends, the scissors precisely trimming away the uneven parts. Every movement seemed to have a rhythm.
After his hair was cut, Liu Zhaosheng looked in the mirror with a look of satisfaction on his face.
Liu Jingze stood up and said, "It looks good. Achang's craftsmanship is good. The payment will be charged to my card."
Achang said enthusiastically, "Thank you, Mr. Liu, for your recognition. You still have multiple yuan on your card. Remember to bring Mrs. Liu next time. Mrs. Xie said last time that Mrs. Liu is very beautiful and is pregnant with twins. Mr. Liu, you are amazing."
Liu Jingze smiled more: "Sister-in-law Xinyao is good at talking and coaxing people, but my wife Liu is indeed very beautiful."
When they got in the car, Liu Zhaosheng said, "Jingze, there are so many hair salons. You brought me to this one specifically. There must be a reason, right?"
Liu Jingze said frankly, "Xie Wenliang, the one who does printing and runs a bar, you've met your godfather. His wife runs a beauty center and a maternity and baby store. They have a wide network of contacts in our city, and they have invested in this hair salon."
Liu Zhaosheng suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. Their business is quite extensive."
Liu Jingze said, "Yes, that's why many people give them face. When they opened, they asked us to come over and show their support, saying there was a promotion: top up 10,000 and get 3,000 free. I topped up 20,000, so I had to spend it. Huang Jiekang, Feng Xueru and others also topped up and come here frequently."
Lan Quancong asked as he drove, "Mr. Liu, hasn't Mrs. Liu been going out to wash her hair recently? Why don't you bring her here?"
Liu Jingze said, "Do you know how much it costs for a haircut and a blow-drying like that?"
Lan Quancong said: "Depending on the decoration and service of the hair salon, it will cost about 200 to 300 yuan."
Liu Jingze said, "298 yuan. If you want to dye or style your hair, it will be over 1,000 yuan. Just washing and blow-drying your hair is 88 yuan. The salon Tiantian goes to now only charges 25 yuan, but she thinks it's too much. She says she goes twice a week, and by the time she has the baby, she'll have to go many times, which will cost a lot of money. But sometimes social events are like this. I'll let Tiantian come to this salon to wash her hair next time."
Liu Zhaosheng was amused. "Tiantian is so virtuous. She spends when she should and saves when she should. She was willing to give me 3,000 yuan for the Mid-Autumn Festival, but she was reluctant to spend a little money on washing her hair. In her current situation, it is really better for her to let someone else wash her hair."
Liu Jingze said: "Tiantian is actually very generous sometimes. She is willing to buy me expensive ties, belts, watches, and clothes. She doesn't even blink when it comes to giving money to elders. But sometimes she is reluctant to spend some money."
Liu Zhaosheng smiled with satisfaction. "Tiantian is really generous sometimes. She buys you watches worth tens of thousands of yuan and belts worth thousands of yuan because she thinks you like them. Although she earns a lot of money and you have money to give her, I have to praise her for giving you a watch worth tens of thousands of yuan all of a sudden. She really cares about you."
Lan Quancong said, "Actually, I understand Mrs. Liu's thinking. Spend when you should, save when you should. The reason I'm not washing my hair here tonight is because I went out with Ah An and the others to get their hair washed and have supper last night. The hair salon they went to charged NT$35 for a wash, cut, and blow-dry, and NT$25 for a wash and blow-dry. I think that's pretty good."
Liu Zhaosheng said in a serious tone, "Acong, you must be envious of Jingze for having a virtuous wife. Find a girlfriend quickly. When you get married, if you buy a house in this small town, I'll give you a down payment. It's the same with Ayang getting married. Only when you have a house and a woman who treats you well can you truly have a home."
The down payment for a house is 30% of the house price. To buy a 100-square-meter house in this small town, it costs 700,000 to 800,000 yuan, and a good one costs 900,000 yuan. Of course, a worse one can also cost 600,000 to 700,000 yuan. But it cannot be denied that Liu Zhaosheng's promise is still valuable, worth 200,000 to 300,000 yuan.
Lan Quancong said gratefully, "Thank you, Mr. Liu."
Liu Jingze showed an intriguing smile: "Brother Cong, what do you think of the woman who delivered pork to the farm?"
Liu Zhaosheng was curious and asked a series of questions: "Does Acong have someone he likes? Where is she from? What does she look like? How old is she?"
