Chapter 905: Encouraging the Child to Shave His Head (Page 1/2)
Before the hot pot restaurant opened, the flower shop and clothing store would close at midnight to let their employees go home for dinner.
Now that the hot pot restaurant is open, Lin Man asked the chef to prepare meals for their employees and covered their lunch, which naturally made the staff very happy.
So at noon, Lin Man took away all the morning sales from the clothing store, leaving only a hundred yuan in change and locked it in the drawer.
She said to Wang Yan, "Xiaoyan, take the key. I'm going home at noon. Ask Xiaofen to get you lunch and you stay to look after the store."
"Okay, Aunt Lin." Wang Yan took the key.
Lin Man left the clothing store and went to the flower shop to collect the morning's sales. Then she went to the third floor to see how business was going. She said hello to Huo Qingci and went downstairs.
Xu Xiaomin knew that Lin Man would come back for lunch, so she specially prepared two more dishes for lunch.
Although she was used to flattering Old Master Huo, she also knew that Lin Man was the mistress of this family, and she certainly didn't dare to offend her openly.
Now her daughter has also been arranged to work in a clothing store. Her daughter also said that working in a clothing store is not as hard as working in a flower shop. Not only is the salary the same, but she can also meet many wealthy ladies every day.
Maybe her daughter will be noticed by someone and chosen to be a daughter-in-law, and then she will become a city dweller in the future.
In the morning, Lin Man told her that she would come back for lunch and asked her to cook more rice. Knowing that she liked bone soup, she went out to buy some pork shanks and made some pork shanks and kelp soup for her.
Huo Li was a little surprised to see Lin Man coming back for lunch, so he asked her, "Xiao Man, weren't you supposed to be watching the store at noon? Why are you back at noon?"
"Xinxin has lice on her head. I'll help her deal with it later."
Huo Li looked at Huo Yixin who was eating silently, "A little girl with long hair will easily get lice if she sweats. You can cut her hair shorter."
Huo Yixin put down her chopsticks and shook her head repeatedly, "Grandpa, I don't want to cut my hair short. It won't look good when I wear a skirt after cutting it short."
Xu Xiaomin joked, "Xiao Xinxin has beautiful facial features, she'd look good even with a shaved head. In our village, many little girls have their heads shaved if they get lice."
Lin Man glanced at Xu Xiaomin coldly, "Sister Xu, your daughters and the others must have had their heads shaved quite a lot, right?"
Xu Xiaomin was stunned at first. "Ah, our child's head is not shaved. His grandmother combs it with a comb and removes it with her hands. If there are too many, she boils Chinese medicine water to wash it."
"Oh, so that's the case. Then your child must not look good with a shaved head, right?" Lin Man said sarcastically.
Only then did Xu Xiaomin realize that Lin Man was angry because she suggested that the child shave his head.
"Xiao Lin, you misunderstood. I didn't ask Xinxin to shave her head. Xinxin has such a pretty face, it's really not appropriate to shave her head."
"Well, I won't let her shave her head. Little girls all love to be beautiful. If Xinxin likes to keep her hair long, then let her keep it. As for head lice, she can just use medicine to treat it."
After saying that, Lin Man ignored Xu Xiaomin. After finishing her meal, she put down her bowl and chopsticks and pulled Huo Yixin back to the room. She untied her hair, sprayed some lice killer on her head, and then wrapped her hair with a dry hair cap.
"Xinxin, sit in your room for half an hour. Mom will boil some water to wash your hair."
"Mom, will I be late today?"
"No, Mom will take you to school on her tricycle later. When washing your hair, Mom will wash it quickly. It will be done in ten minutes." After Lin Man said that, she opened the door and walked out.
Huo Yixin felt her scalp becoming more and more itchy. She wanted to scratch the hair dryer cap a few times, but remembering that she had sprayed medicine on her hair, she finally endured it.
Lin Man went back to the kitchen and boiled a large pot of hot water, scooped it into two buckets, added cold water and brought it to the bathroom, then went back to the room and asked Huo Yixin to wash her hair.
Back in the bathroom, Lin Man took off the hair dryer cap on her daughter's head and found that there were many small black spots on the pink hair dryer cap. It was obvious that they were the corpses of head lice.
Lin Man handed the hair drying cap to Huo Yixin, "Take a look for yourself!"
Huo Yixin tightly grasped the hair drying cap and said cautiously, "Mom, I'm sorry. I know who gave me the lice. It was the girl sitting in front of me. She put a louse on her head and deliberately rubbed it on my head."
Lin Man was shocked. "You said your classmate deliberately put lice on your head?"
"Well, I was lying on the table to rest for ten minutes during the break, and the student sitting in front of me threw something on my head, and a male classmate saw it.
Today I told them about the lice on my head, and my deskmate said that it might be the student sitting in front of me who put the lice on my head.
I wash my hair twice a week, and my classmates are all boys. When we play together, we never touch each other's heads. How could I get lice?
After hearing what he said, I realized that it was the girl in front of me who caused the trouble. She was jealous of my good looks and good grades, so she caught head lice and put them on my head.
Hearing her daughter's words, Lin Man immediately flew into a rage. "Mom will go to school with you later and make that girl apologize to you in front of the whole class."
"Mom, please don't go to school, okay? I've already told the teacher about this, and the teacher moved her to sit alone."

Lin Man knew that her daughter didn't want her to go to school to make trouble. Since she had already handled it, she would not go this time.
If this happens again next time, she will definitely call the student's parents out for a talk.
Lin Man took a comb and combed her daughter's hair several times, combing out a bunch of dead lice and nits, then scooped water and started washing her hair.
I washed and rinsed her hair three times, wiped it clean with a towel, then took her back to the room and dried her hair with an old-fashioned hair dryer.
After drying her hair, Lin Man did not rush to tie it up. Instead, she patiently searched to see if there were any lice. As a result, she found only some white nits on her hair, which looked particularly glaring.
Lin Man planned to wait until Saturday and Sunday to find time to pull out the empty shells of these lice one by one.
"Okay, Xinxin. There are no lice on your head anymore. Be careful next time and don't let anyone get lice on your head again."
"I know, Mom."
Lin Man picked up a clean comb and combed Huo Yixin's hair into a high ponytail. After combing it, she cleaned up the room and rode her tricycle to take her back to school.
As Huo Yixin entered the school gate, the bell rang. Lin Man looked at her daughter's receding back and took a deep breath. "Thank goodness I made it in time."
Song Jingjing went back to the city to look for a shop. When she came across Lin Man's clothing store, she hesitated for a moment, but finally walked in.
When Zhang Fen saw Song Jingjing coming, she immediately went over to greet her enthusiastically. Song Jingjing looked around and saw that Lin Man was not there.
So he asked, "Xiao Fen, where is my sister-in-law?"
"I have something to do back home, I guess I'll be here later."
Seeing that Lin Man was not there, Song Jingjing suddenly pulled Zhang Fen aside and said, "Xiao Fen, how much do you make a month working in my sister-in-law's shop?"
"Thirty yuan, that's the same for everyone."
"Then do you know how much my sister-in-law's daily turnover is?"
"I didn't calculate it exactly, but it should be around one or two thousand! The clothing store is doing good business, so Aunt Lin provided us with meals and we ate lunch there at noon."
Song Jingjing didn't know what she was thinking about. She suddenly smiled and took Zhang Fen's hand and said, "Xiao Fen, I'm planning to open a clothing store too. Why don't you come with me? I'll go buy the goods and you'll be the store manager."
Zhang Fen was very tempted to be the store manager, but Aunt Lin would definitely blame her if she quit! Besides, her mother was still working as a nanny at the Huo family.
Oh, how should she choose so as not to offend anyone?
When Song Jingjing saw Zhang Fen hesitated, she knew that she wanted to follow her.
She continued to coax him, "Xiao Fen, if you work with me, I will definitely give you 35 yuan a month, and if you do a good job in the future, I will increase your salary.
They say people go to higher places and water flows to lower places. They won’t say anything if you follow me.”
"Aunt Song, my mother..."
"Don't worry about your mother. Once I rent a house in the city, I'll ask your mother to help me with the laundry, cooking, and taking care of the children, as well as sending them to school.
After all, your mother is quite experienced, so she will definitely have no problem taking care of the child. Besides, this way, you and your daughter can work together, so you will have company, right?"
Song Jingjing paused and continued, "As for your salary, it will definitely not be lower than before. Don't worry, I have always been fair and will definitely not treat you unfairly."
After hearing what Song Jingjing said, Zhang Fen felt a little relieved, but she was still a little hesitant. After all, she still needed to discuss this matter with her mother.
So she said to Song Jingjing, "Aunt Song, I'll go back and discuss it with my mom! If she agrees, I'll follow you."
Song Jingjing smiled and nodded. She gently patted Zhang Fen's hand and said, "Okay, okay, let's make it a deal. I'm sure your mother will agree. After all, this is a good opportunity for you."
Zhang Fen's lips curled up slightly, and she thought to herself, "Although Aunt Song may not be very good-looking, I didn't expect her to be quite generous!"
Then, Zhang Fen said to Song Jingjing, "Aunt Song, I need to talk to my mother about this first. If she agrees, I will give you an answer."
Song Jingjing nodded again, expressing her understanding. Then she suddenly remembered something and asked quickly:
"By the way, Xiaofen, do you know where my sister-in-law buys these clothes? Also, has she told you how much they cost?"
Zhang Fen shook her head. "Aunt Song, I really don't know about this. She didn't tell me the purchase price of these clothes, but I guess the profit should be huge."
Zhang Fen thought that if she had money, she would definitely open a clothing store. Even if she opened several clothing stores on the same street, the business would still be good.
This is the commercial street with the largest flow of people in Beijing. The department store is not far from Aunt Lin's store. Even if those people usually like to buy ready-made clothes in the department store, they will now come to Aunt Lin's store.
After all, the clothes in Aunt Lin’s store are very fashionable, and some department stores’ clothing departments don’t sell them.
