A large group of men suddenly rushed into Tony No. 1 Hair Salon. Almost all of them had fierce looks on their faces, with lumps of flesh all over their bodies and hair that was about one or two inches long. They didn't look like good people at first glance.
The leader was even more excited when he saw Lin Yi. He waved his hand and shouted to the people behind him: "Brothers, this is the man."
Lin Yi looked at the newcomer in surprise: Could this be the evil spirit provoked by the original body?
Ling Shuang walked out from the cashier counter and asked: "Are you here to cause trouble?"
Yongfang was not afraid and took action immediately, pushing away the group of strong men who seemed to be looking for trouble, and protecting Xiaotao and Xiaoping in the outer room behind him.
Hearing Ling Shuang's question, the leading burly man was stunned. He pushed aside the fringe of hair that was covering his eyes and waved his hands tightly: "No, I can't, how could it be?"
After saying that, he pointed his right hand towards Lin Yi and said, "We're looking for him to cut our hair."
What a commotion! More than a dozen people showed up to get their hair cut. But looking at the length of their hair, it was indeed time for a haircut. Lin Yi whistled, "Where did you guys get your hair from? It's so long! It'll take at least three months."
Seeing that it was a business trip and not a cause of trouble, Ling Shuang wanted to go back to the cashier to rest, but Lin Yi stopped her: "Hey! Hey! I'm talking to you, what's wrong? Do you really think I'm a long-term worker in your store?"
After saying that, he pointed his chin towards Ling Shuang and signaled to the group of young men: "See, this is the boss. If you want a haircut, go find her."
The young men were anxious and said in unison: "No, Master, we are here to find you. You are the one who handles it well. We don't want women to do it."
Ling Shuang shrugged, spread his hands, and gave him a helpless expression.
Lin Yi: What if being too outstanding and too capable is also a burden? He said to the group, "I've been busy all day and haven't even had lunch. If you can wait, let me have a drink of water and something to eat. If you can't wait, come back in a few days."
As for whether I can find him when I come over in a few days, he didn’t say that he would definitely be there!
Unexpectedly, the group of young men immediately found chairs to sit down, and those who didn't have chairs squatted against the wall, obviously meaning that they would wait for you until the end of the day.
Because they had to wash hair, there was a coal stove outside the shop, and hot water was always boiling. Lin Yi ordered his daughter: "Yongfang - Yongfang, go buy me some buns next door, and pour me a pot of water to dry it."
Yongfang agreed promptly, but still wanted to move the big package that Lin Yi brought back to the bar first. As soon as she started, two young men came up to help her.
Ling Shuang asked who would cut their hair first and then go wash their hair with her. The boys looked at each other, but no one said a word.
"What's the matter? Are you going to cut it or not? Or are you going to cut it without washing it? That will hurt." The new clipper is a bit stiff and has not been run in yet. Cutting it without washing may get stuck at the roots of the hair.
The young men grunted and grumbled for a long time, and the one in the lead spoke first: "What, Master, can you wash it for us?"
Lin Yi was confused: "Why do I have to wash your hair? Her skills are better than mine. Besides, she will only wash your hair. I will still be the one to cut your hair later."
Young man: "What? We don't want women to wash us."
"What?" Lin Yi scratched his ears, suspecting he had misheard. "Why?"
The young man suddenly became a little shy at this moment, lowering his head and saying nothing. Someone in the crowd outside said:
"Men and women should not touch each other"
"His wife won't let me."
After saying that, the group of young men burst into laughter for no apparent reason.
Lin Yi: What’s wrong with this?
On the one hand, he thought that since this group of people came to him instead of Ling Shuang, he must be better at it. On the other hand, he felt that something seemed amiss...
He had no other choice but to wave at the young man helplessly: "Then I'll wash it for you first."
Throughout the afternoon, with wave after wave of male guests, Lin Yi felt like she had no time to breathe. Later, when it was time for dinner, Yongfang was leaving with her two cousins to go home. Before leaving, Lin Yi asked her to hang up the "Temporarily Closed" sign. He also asked Ling Shuang to lock the door, allowing only exits but no entry.
The business for the day ended at around 9 o'clock in the evening.
Looking at the thick layer of broken hair on the ground, he felt uneasy and secretly made up his mind: Tomorrow, he would not come over no matter what.
After closing the shop, Lin Yi picked up the big bag and asked Ling Shuang: "Where do you live? Is it far?" If it was far, he wouldn't be able to walk.
Ling Shuang was a little amused. A haircut only cost one dollar per person, and with Lin Yi here today, he actually earned dozens of dollars more. This guy has mysophobia, so who knows how uncomfortable he must be today. So he didn't make fun of it and said, "It's not far, just on the street behind No. 1 Middle School. We rented a yard."
Lin Yi nodded. "That's fine. It's not far away, so it's convenient for you. Oh, and where are my father-in-law and mother-in-law? They're also working at your garment factory. What time do they get off work?"
Ling Shuang: "Yes, they get off work early, at 6 o'clock. Hey, your bag is quite heavy, right? Let me help you carry it for a while?" After saying that, he was about to start.
Lin Yi twisted his body to avoid it: "No, this is nothing. I can carry two more bags." After saying that, he immediately straightened his back and took two quick steps: "Hurry up and go, lead the way."
The journey was indeed not far, only a quarter of an hour. As they walked, the two of them briefly chatted about their recent situation and roughly talked about the future "work priorities".
As for Yongqiang and Yongfang, their opinions are basically the same: do a good job in logistics, don't interfere too much, and if there are deviations, communicate and remedy them in a timely manner.
There is some controversy about what attitude and method should be adopted to deal with Yongliang. They think that although the child is already 18 years old, he is not too young, but he is not too old either. Although he is quite "naughty", they still cannot give up.
Both of them agreed that one would play the villain and the other the hero, but they both wanted Zhao Yongliang to be "thunderous" rather than "gentle", so there was some controversy over who would play the role.
Until they were almost at the doorstep of their home, they still hadn't reached a definite conclusion on the matter, so they had to put it on hold for the time being and discuss it later.
The two of them adjusted their expressions at the door, then raised the corners of their mouths and pushed open the door with a bright smile.
In the yard, the old couple of the Cai family were taking their granddaughter and granddaughter-in-law to enjoy the cool air in the yard. They were very happy to see the two of them come back together. They greeted each other, and Mrs. Cai started to prepare hot meals for them, and Yongfang also went to help.
Lin Yi washed his hands and sat down to chat with his father-in-law, detailing their experiences outside for the past two weeks. Old Mrs. Cai was also listening attentively in the kitchen.
After finishing the meal, Lin Yi finally remembered to ask where his eldest son had gone: "Why don't I seem to see Yongliang?"
Just as he finished speaking, Yongliang's heart-wrenching cry came from the gate: "Dad, Dad, you're finally back! Wuuuuu, if you don't come back, your son will be forced to death by them!"
A dark figure limped in from the gate at an extremely fast speed and pounced on Lin Yi: "Dad, Dad—"
