Xiaoqian was quiet this time and didn't make any trouble in his mind.
Having witnessed all the strange things with his own eyes, Jiang's father quickly accepted this explanation. Even Jiang's mother herself was more willing to accept it. "Now, Xixi, how much time do you have?"
Jiang Xi said hesitantly, "A year... maybe."
This time, Xiao Qian jumped out and hesitated for a long time before forming a line of Chinese characters: "The marrow cleansing fluid successfully cleansed the marrow, but it took the host three hundred days."
"W-what?!"
Jiang Xi jumped up suddenly.
Three hundred days?
Subtracting yesterday, there are only fifty-eight days left?!
It's such a fucking rip-off.
Jiang's mother was now frightened and asked hurriedly, "Xixi, what's wrong?"
Jiang Xi subconsciously gave a soothing smile, "It's okay, I just suddenly remembered that it's not a good idea for my daughter to continue living at her uncle's house given her current condition."
"Yes, yes, Xixi's concerns are reasonable." Father Jiang nodded in agreement. "Before, I wanted to slowly explore. It is indeed uninhabitable there. If a little time has passed, it can be said that Xixi has grown up. But they all saw what Xixi looked like yesterday."
Jiang's mother already had a plan in mind, so the family split into two groups. Jiang's mother took Jiang Xi to get a makeover, while Jiang's father continued to run around the rental agency, trying to find the most suitable rental house.
"Girl, are you really going to cut it?"
The barber looked at Jiang Xi's long, straight black hair with pity. He had been a barber for many years, but this was the first time he had seen hair like this. It was as black as thick ink. When he put a comb on it, it could be straightened to the ends in one go. It was good enough for a shampoo commercial.
"Cut it all." Jiang's mother gestured behind Jiang Xi's ear, "Cut it all here, trim my bangs evenly too."
The customer is God.
No matter how sorry the barber was, he had to take the customer's wishes into consideration. "Sister, we'll charge you a hundred bucks for the cut hair. Is that okay?"
This price is already far beyond the market price.
Jiang's mother was delighted and waved her hand, "Okay."
The long hair was cut to ear level with one pair of scissors, and the bangs on the forehead were cut into a watermelon-Taro style. While the barber, surnamed Sun, was cutting, he was thinking: What good hair! It must have been taken care of so carefully that there is not a single split end. He just cut it as he said.
"alright."
The hairdresser blew on the hair and put away his tools. He had to say that this girl had really good hair. Even with such a bad hairstyle, her eyebrows and eyes were still lively and her skin was dazzlingly white. If you looked closely, you couldn't find any flaws at all.
Jiang's mother looked left and right but was still not satisfied. "Master, your hair looks so good. Can you cut it a little uglier?"
"Hey, you..."
The hairdresser was speechless and said angrily, "Sister, why don't you try this haircut on someone else? How can your daughter look ugly with such a face?"
The truth is, even with this kind of foundation, you can still be the best in the world by shaving your head.
"Mom, forget it, let's just leave it at that." Jiang Xi patted the loose hair on her body and winked at Master Sun: "Master, I paid eighteen for a haircut and a styling, and you still have to give me eighty-two."
Anyone who saw this little look would be delighted. Master Sun clapped his hands and said, "I feel bad about cutting your hair today, so I won't charge you. I'll give you a hundred yuan in change. Take it, girl."
Jiang Xi refused to accept it and insisted on finding twelve for someone else, then dragged Jiang's mother out of the barber shop.
The alley where the barber shop is located is a common fly alley in Shen City. There are all kinds of small shops on both sides of the road. Jiang Xi turned on his toes and led Jiang's mother to a small door with glass on all sides for light transmission. It was filled with all kinds of glasses. The owner inside was busy swatting flies.
Jiang Xi took out a pair of black-framed plain glasses and put them on his nose. "Mom, how are you?"
Jiang's mother looked around and nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad."
He has a watermelon head, thick bangs, black-framed glasses, and his delicate little face is hidden by his heavy outfit. Even the exposed skin is still fair, but he is just an ordinary nerd, not very noticeable.
"That's it, boss, take the money."
After buying the clothes, Jiang Xi asked to meet with Jiang's father. It happened that Jiang's father had been looking at several houses with the agent and was undecided.
One apartment is close to the school, with a one-bedroom apartment. The rent is expensive and the space is small, costing over 2,500 yuan a month. Shanghai's cost of living is relatively low, so this little 2,500 yuan is almost enough for a working-class person to make half a month's salary. The other apartment is farther from the school, but a quick bike ride takes about 20 minutes. It has two bedrooms and a living room, and costs 1,800 yuan a month. It's better because it's comfortable.
"Xixi, you choose."
The agent could tell at a glance that of the mother and daughter who arrived later, the daughter was the one who could really make the decision.
"Eighteen hundred is just right."
But Jiang's mother wasn't happy. "High school studies are already very demanding. If you spend so much time on the road, it won't affect your studies."
"The commute is just exercise, and I can use the time to practice my listening skills, so it won't be wasted."
Jiang Xi was a stubborn person. Once he made up his mind, nothing could change it. Moreover, his family was living beyond their means. After a little calculation, he finally decided on a two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment for 1,800 yuan a month. He paid one month's deposit and three months' rent in full. After the rental contract was signed, he paid 7,000 yuan first. As for the change of 200 yuan, the agent took the initiative to deduct it from him.
After renting the house, we started moving with a lot of fuss. Fortunately, the large luggage at my uncle's house had not been unpacked yet, so my uncle rode his three-wheeled electric vehicle and finished the move in two trips.
"I'm talking about patriotism, but you're being too polite. My wife is just a bitch, she doesn't have any bad intentions. Is there any need to rush us around like this?"
My uncle helped carry a large bag of things all the way to the third floor. When he walked in, he saw that the place was bright and clean, but it was empty inside. Apart from a few beds, there was not even a TV.
