Xia Chutang waited for a few seconds, but there was no reaction from Yupai.

I sighed silently, as the novel really couldn't reflect reality.

She is naive again.

"Tangtang? I'll pour you a glass of water..." Li Hui didn't want her daughter to be alone, so she found an excuse to enter the house.

When he opened the door and saw the blood on Xia Chutang's fingertips, he immediately panicked: "Tangtang! What's wrong with you? Why is your hand broken...you...don't think too hard!"

Putting down the water glass and holding her daughter's bleeding finger, Li Hui's eyes turned red: "Tangtang... you... please stop doing stupid things, okay?"

"Mom, I didn't mean to do anything stupid. I accidentally cut my finger."

"Really? Don't lie to mom..."

After the rescue last night, the doctor told Li Hui that the child had serious psychological problems and was likely to commit suicide again, and asked her to pay attention to her child's behavior.

Li Hui is just such a daughter. If anything happens to her, she really won't be able to survive.

"Mom, I will live well. Don't worry."

Seeing his daughter's vow, Li Huixuan felt relieved a little and glanced at the jade plaque in the box on the table, "Tangtang, this jade is a good thing. Don't think it's ugly. Just wear it."

"Is this jade token very valuable?" Xia Chutang asked curiously.

The jade plaque was given by Li Hui. In her previous life, Xia Chutang thought it was too old-fashioned and never wore it. Later, Zhang Minmin saw it and asked her for it, and she gave it to her without hesitation.

"It should be a good thing." Li Hui was also a little unsure: "Anyway, I never got sick from wearing it when I was a child."

When Xia Chutang heard this, she quickly said: "Then you can continue to wear it."

"I have to wear a bow tie at work and it's uncomfortable."

In fact, Li Hui wanted to leave good things to her daughter.

It is said that jade nourishes people, but Li Hui had no money to buy gold for her daughter, so she thought of giving this jade plaque to her child.

When Xia Chutang was admitted to high school, Li Hui gave his daughter a jade plaque as a gift, but her daughter disliked the gift and never wore it.

Li Hui gently touched her daughter's gauze-wrapped wrist with her fingers, feeling heartbroken: "Besides, mom is old, so it would be a waste to wear it for me. It's more suitable for you to wear it now."

Worried that her daughter would resist wearing the jade plaque, Li Hui added: "If you don't want to wear it, don't wear it. Don't force yourself."

"I took it out because I wanted to wear it." Xia Chutang felt warm and guilty when she noticed how cautious her mother was towards her. She picked up the jade plaque and hung it around her neck, acting cute and cute: "Mom, doesn't it look good?"

"It looks good!" Li Hui looked at it carefully and felt that the originally ordinary jade plaque actually looked better against her daughter's skin color. She smiled and said, "Don't take it off if you wear it. It's easy to lose it if you pick it off."

You won’t pick sugar at the beginning of summer. Even if this jade plaque is ordinary and unremarkable, it was given by my mother and she will cherish it.

After lunch, Xia Chutang asked her mother for fifty yuan. She felt very guilty and asked her poor mother to reach out, but her ugly hair had to be dyed back, otherwise she would be sent home when she returned to school.

After Xia Chutang left, Aunt Zhao, who had been holding back and not daring to say anything, said, "If you give her so much money, this child won't act randomly again, right?"

Fifty yuan, that's a month's worth of food for the family.

"Hey, what should we do? I have to give it." Li Hui didn't dare to provoke her daughter anymore, "As long as she lives well, I will give it as much as I can."

Li Hui couldn't afford a lot of money. She could afford fifty yuan, but she didn't want to make her daughter unhappy.

Aunt Zhao knew her daughter's suffering, so she also sighed and said nothing more, "By the way, your aunt took Yang Ping and Minmin to the hospital. Didn't you meet them?"

"Mom..." Li Hui mumbled about the farce in the hospital that morning, feeling depressed: "Now I have offended my aunt. Go back to this house..."

The house that Aunt Zhao lives in now was found by Zhao Lanying for free. If you offend someone so much that they won't let you live here, then renting a house will be a huge expense.

Li Hui's current salary is 400 yuan a month, which makes her living very difficult and she cannot afford the rent.

"You -" Aunt Zhao complained a little, but she didn't say anything harsh: "Let's talk to Tangtang later, and don't get too close to Minmin. That child is very thoughtful. She even helped count the money after she was sold. Just wait. Go buy some fruit, weigh some peach cakes, and go make amends with your aunt."

Li Hui pursed her lips, feeling unwilling to do so, but she still nodded: "Then I'll go now."

She was so angry in the morning that she couldn't hold it back... Li Hui regretted that she had been too impulsive after she was so angry.

"If my son-in-law can help us, you and Tangtang won't have to suffer so hard." Aunt Zhao complained a little, but she still patted her daughter on the shoulder and comforted: "Tangtang will grow up soon, and you can make money by working. At my age She's old and won't live for a few more years. Your aunt's words are unpleasant, so please keep putting up with it."

"mom……"

Li Hui was very unwilling to bow her head to Zhao Lanying, but she had no choice.

Anyway, I have endured my anger for half my life, and this time is not the last time.

After eating a few mouthfuls of rice, Li Hui went out to buy snacks and fruits to apologize...

With fifty yuan in her pocket, Xia Chutang chose a small barber shop along the street near the family courtyard.

The barber shop is very small, with two chairs, two half-length mirrors, a wooden stand under the mirror, a pile of barber tools, and a simple sink with a tin bucket on top to store water...

The shop is very basic, like most barbershops in the 90s.

There was a middle-aged woman busy in the store. She was blow-drying someone's hair with her tall hair tied up like a peacock's tail. When she saw someone coming in, she greeted warmly: "Come in, little sister. Do you want a haircut?"

"How much does it cost to dye your hair?" Xia Chutang glanced at the shelf with hair dye, walked over and picked up one: "This one."

The middle-aged woman laughed: "My sister has really good taste. This is an imported hair dye. But...it's a bit expensive, costing 45 yuan."

Xia Chutang frowned: "Can it still be cheaper?"

In the previous life, Xia Chutang worked as a hair-wash girl in a barber shop for a year after dropping out of school. Later, the boss saw her beauty and accepted her as an apprentice. She was considered an expert in hair cutting.

I have this hair dye in my hand for the first time. According to the prices at this time, the purchase price is only a few yuan at most.

"Oh, I'm just going to earn you a few dollars for the craftsmanship fee. It's all a loss-making business!" The middle-aged woman complained bitterly, "Little sister, look at my hair dye, it belongs to Hua Ni, a big brand! It's all imported. goods!"

Xia Chutang raised her hand and pointed at the small print on the bottom of the hair dye box. She said in a calm tone, "It says "Made in Haishi". I can read.

The girl was young, wearing a school uniform but with exaggerated red hair. The boss lady automatically thought she was a bad girl who dropped out of school early.

Unexpectedly, a delinquent girl knows how to read the location of a hair dye production factory?

"Look what you said, I didn't mean it that way." The middle-aged woman laughed awkwardly, "Then I'll give you 40 yuan, no more!"

"20 yuan." Xia Chutang replied with a price.

"What? 20 yuan?" The landlady almost jumped up: "Little sister, this is hair dyeing! I also need to adjust and color your hair. The labor cost is more than 20 yuan. I..."

"Lady boss! Come out and look at my dyed hair!" A yellow-haired woman in cool clothes came into the store with a bad tone.

The yellow-haired woman grabbed her hair and lost her temper: "Here, here, and here... they are all for flowers! You must give me an explanation today, or I will let Brother Bao destroy your store!"

The landlady's heart trembled, and she smiled apologetically: "Oh, look at what my pretty girl said, you are so beautiful and kind, how could you do this? Then, wait a minute, I will show you this hair after I blow dry it. "

The yellow-haired woman was not so easy to talk to. She kicked her on the barber's stool and said with great arrogance: "Who the fuck is your sister? And you asked me to wait? I'm giving you face, right? Give me an explanation right now, or I'll do it now Go call Brother Bao!"

The old aunt who was blowing her hair saw this situation and stood up quickly: "What, boss lady, my stove doesn't seem to be turned off. I'll go take a look first..."

Before the landlady could say anything, the perm lady ran away quickly.

"No need to wait now?" The yellow-haired woman sneered, turned around and sat on the barber chair, "Tell me, how do I get my hair done? If you can't come up with a good way, I will definitely destroy your shop today! "
