Zhou Chao said, "I will help you. I will do whatever you ask me to do."
"We'll talk about this later. This is the current arrangement. Anyway, don't worry, you won't starve to death as long as you have hands and feet."
"Okay! I believe you!"
After breakfast, Zhou Xiang took Zhou Chao out to the street. Zhou Chao grabbed his clothes and said, "I, I look so ugly. It's not good to go out on the street, right?"
"It's okay, just buy some clothes and change into them."
When Zhou Chao heard her say this, he followed her.
If you meet someone you know, you can hide away and not embarrass her.
Taking a detour to Yingnan Lane, Zhou saw Xiao Chunmei walking out and waved to her.
Xiao Chunmei ran over quickly, "Zhou Xiang, why are you here so early today?"
Zhou Xiang took out the written leave application and said, "Give this to Teacher Ran. I have something to do in the morning."
"Will Teacher Ran be mad if I ask for leave on the first day?" Xiao Chunmei felt a little gloating.
"That's the best."
Zhou Xiang turned around and asked his second cousin to walk with him, and he and Xiao Chunmei could walk a short distance together.
Who knew that he would see his second cousin walking far away, and Zhou wanted to wave to him, so he walked over hesitantly.
"Second cousin, this is my classmate, let's walk together."
"Oh! Then you go ahead and I'll follow."
Zhou Xiang wanted to understand his thoughts, so he and Xiao Chunmei walked ahead.
Although Xiao Chunmei was very curious, she didn't dare to ask, especially in front of the other person. Zhou thought that he must have asked for leave today.
At a street full of self-employed people, Zhou Xiang took Zhou Chao in.
Xiao Chunmei looked at it with envy before continuing on her way. This was a place she had longed to visit but never dared to enter. She heard that the clothes there were very nice, but expensive.
As soon as Zhou Chao entered the street, he grabbed Zhou Xiang and said, "Xiang Xiang, let's go buy something else. The clothes here look expensive."
"Department stores aren't always cheap. I can't buy the sweatshirt you're wearing. How are you going to go out and do things?"
Zhou Chao didn't know what to do after hearing what Zhou Xiang said, so he could only follow her.
Zhou Xiang still looked for the owner of the children's clothing store, "Boss, take me to buy men's shirts!"
"The store next door has it. I'll take you there." The boss was very enthusiastic and didn't feel that Zhou Xiang was bothering him at all. The people next door were also envious of him for having so many goods shipped.
The little girl's sister occasionally comes to get goods. People on both sides envy her and look forward to their store having customers come to get goods.
Next door on the other side, they sell men's casual wear.
Zhou Xiang entered the store and selected a blue and white striped T-shirt, a pure black T-shirt, black and light yellow casual trousers, long and short-sleeved shirts and trousers, two pairs of shorts, socks, leather shoes, and sneakers.
As she picked, the shop owner smiled.
Zhou Chao couldn't help but smile and held her hand. "I don't want clothes like this. Just go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy two. They're cheaper there."
The shop owner was anxious. "The clothes in the supply and marketing cooperative are also two or three yuan a piece?"
Zhou Xiang asked, "How much is one piece?"
"Uh, here I am..."
The owner of the children's clothing store glared at him and asked, "Do you still want to keep this girl's business?"
The shop owner stood up straight. "Shirts and shorts are all ten yuan, trousers are fifteen yuan. Leather shoes are twenty yuan, sneakers are eight yuan, and socks are one yuan for two pairs."
"Except for socks, we'll give you 20% off your price."
The shop owner gritted his teeth and said, "Okay."
Zhou Xiang simply took out the money and said, "Please buy the clothes I just picked out in his size."
Seeing Zhou Xiang counting out ten big unity notes to give to the store owner, Zhou Chao felt distressed. It was only a hundred yuan! He couldn't earn that much in a whole year in his hometown!
Zhou Xiang handed him a striped T-shirt and casual pants, "Second cousin, go into the fitting room and change!"
The shop owner said, "There are no fitting rooms, but there are curtains."
"Then draw the curtain!"
Zhou Chao had no choice but to change it. He couldn't argue with her. He had already paid for it, and the boss would definitely not refund it.
After changing clothes and coming out, the shop owner nodded and said, "Not bad, not bad. My clothes are still very good."
Zhou Xiang was also satisfied. Even his eldest aunt might not recognize his second cousin if he looked like this.
"Let's go!"
Zhou Chao held the bag and clenched it tightly with heartache. This was all money!
Is Uncle Quan’s family so rich?
No, my mother said Xiangxiang could make money, and that the yard was bought by Xiangxiang. Does that mean that my presence here hasn't caused any trouble for Xiangxiang? Does she really have connections?
Thinking of this, the burden in my heart was lifted. At most, I would work for her for the rest of my life. It was better than being trapped by my stepfather and elder brother in my hometown for the rest of my life!
"Let's go to the barber shop. Your hair is too long. You're going to work at a barbecue stall, where you eat. You have to pay attention to hygiene, especially under your fingernails. They must be clean."
"good!"
Zhou Xiang looked at him in confusion. Why didn't he resist? Why didn't he just ask the old man on the street for a few pushes?
Seeing that the worry and restraint were no longer on his face, I knew that he must have thought it through.
In the barber shop, Zhou Xiang used gestures to tell the barber the hairstyle he wanted.
The barber asked again and again, "Is this really the way to cut it?"
"Yeah! At worst, I'll just shave my head. It's hot, so I'm not afraid."
Zhou Chao put down the bag, sat in the barber chair, and decided to do whatever he wanted.
Soon, the barber gave Zhou Chao a hairstyle according to what Zhou Xiang said.
The barber and Zhou Chao stared at the mirror in a daze. Is the man in the mirror still the same rustic man?
Just cut the middle of the top of your head into pieces and shave the sides short, and it will look fashionable?
Zhou Xiang nodded secretly, with a bit of a later artistic conception. Seeing the hair oil on the barber's table, Zhou Xiang picked up some, rubbed it in his hands, and grabbed a few handfuls on the top of Zhou Chao's head, and a messy hedgehog head appeared.
"My second cousin is just handsome."
Zhou Chao couldn't help but smile again, "Thank you, Xiang Xiang. I never knew I could be so handsome."
"Okay, let's go!"
Zhou wanted to pay, but the barber refused. "I cut other customers like this, is that okay?"
Zhou wanted to get the money back, "Then you have to cover all the haircuts for our whole family."
"Okay, I won't charge you for anything you bring. If anyone asks, please tell them the address of my shop."
Zhou Xiang gave him a thumbs-up and said, "You're a brilliant man, you know how to do business, for sure. I hope you'll be prosperous forever, and my family will get free haircuts forever."
"Great! Win-win!"
Zhou thought he had gotten a small advantage here and was feeling very happy!
At school, Ran Qiming looked at the leave application in his hand and laughed out of anger.
"Teacher Ran: Due to personal matters, I need to take half a day off. I hope you can approve it. Zhou Xiang. Note: It doesn't matter whether you approve it or not. Anyway, I will act first and ask for your permission later."
In the class, when the monitor called the roll, Xiao Chunmei said confidently, "Zhou wants to take a leave, Teacher Ran knows."
Asking for leave on the first day of class? Is this number one going to give up his position?
Ran Qiming walked into the classroom and said, "Zhou wants to take half a day off. Let's start the class!"
