To Your Island Screw Your Island - Chapter 38

I met the manager, Wang Jiexiang was hired directly.

Jiang Bingbing took her hand and was so happy: “Why don’t you tell me earlier that you are looking for a job?”

Wang Jiexiang smiled awkwardly. When she first came to the city, she begged Bailai to meet her, Jiang Bingbing didn’t even leave a phone call. How would she contact her?

“Jiexiang, take care of each other in the future. We are still as good as we were at home before. Ask me if you don’t understand.”

That good sister and good friend from the past seemed to come back all at once, Jiang Bingbing had a cordial attitude and a warm face.

Wang Jiexiang’s heart was warm, and she responded loudly, “Yeah!”

Shampoos are not only responsible for washing hair in a literal sense.

They are equivalent to the chores in the barbershop.

Washing your hair, massaging, wiping your hair, drying your hair, washing dirty towels, folding towels, wiping glass, and sweeping the floor are the most basic tasks of the day.

When the guests come, they are also responsible for serving tea and water, and recommending hairdressing items; the guests are waiting in a hurry, so they have to go to chat with them to calm their emotions. Barbers need help, they have to be there on call.

My hands were soaked in water all day long, and they became wet, wet and dry, so that they wrinkled.

Wang Jiexiang’s waist was bent, and he never got up from morning till night.

She is grateful for having a job. This job is more busy than selling oil, I don’t have a punctual meal, and I often delay work. Its advantage is that she finally has someone she knows who can speak, and the barber shop is open indoors, not as cold as a tent.

One week after becoming a shampoo girl, Wang Jiexiang’s appearance has been completely assimilated by her colleagues.

The hair was dyed from black to light linen, and the waist-length straight hair was cut short and permed into a woolen roll over the shoulder.

Jiang Bingbing disliked her old clothes, so she took Wang Jiexiang to the stall and bought some new clothes.

The styles of the new clothes are trendy, but the quality is not good: the pants fade after a wash, and the sweaters are on after a few days.

“The clothes on the street stall are cheap, so throw them away when they break, and then buy new ones.”

Jiang Bingbing said coolly, Wang Jiexiang’s mouth should be, but he would not really be willing to lose his clothes.

After the successful appearance transformation, she gradually became familiar with the work of the barber shop.

Wang Jiexiang is a new employee in the store. She is young and well-groomed.

Not only regular customers like to ask her to wash their hair when they come to the store, but the clerk loves to talk to her when she is idle.

“Sister, you are so pitiful, come to the city to work alone?”

“Do you have any plans for the future? Why not go to school?”

“At such a young age, there should be a way out by studying.”

“What’s fun and delicious in your country? You don’t look like a country girl, you are not dark or strong.”

“You are so beautiful, have you made a boyfriend?”

“How many times have you been in love? Does anyone chase you?”

Wang Jiexiang is a talkative person, but becomes less talkative when he works.

She doesn’t like the way they look at her, there are light things in them; she doesn’t like their tone of voice, those temptations and condescending questions… What she dislikes the most is the sudden physical contact they speak. .

“Sister, eat more food and become thinner.”

Wang Jiexiang was walking through the corridor holding a towel, and the male clerk passed her by. As he spoke, he put his arms around her waist and squeezed hard.

Dropping the towel, she turned her head angrily and glared at him: “What are you doing?”

The male clerk was still laughing.

“Oh, you are so fierce, can’t you just make a joke?”

“No.” Wang Jiexiang’s face was stern, and he wanted to clarify things with him very seriously.

The more she did, the more he deliberately provoke her.

“I’m so scared, are you going to hit me?”

He bumped her arm with an elbow frivolously.

Wang Jiexiang clenched his fists, and didn’t intend to bear it anymore.

Jiang Bingbing appeared in time and pulled her aside.

“Go and clean, don’t worry about the towels, leave it to me.”

Wang Jiexiang’s face flushed with shame and anger: “Have you seen it! He just pinched my waist.”

Jiang Bingbing said calmly: “I saw it.”

She read what she meant from her eyes: He bullied you, so what?

The anger that ignited in his chest was extinguished by a basin of cold water, and Wang Jiexiang’s fists went from tight to loose.

She fled home through the mountains and rivers, in order not to be underestimated, to be valued, and to live a free life.

She is naive.

Doing what you want requires capital, not to mention life, she can’t even live without this month’s salary.

The barber shop was very bright, it was dark outside, and some people died of cold on the road, and she had to stay inside.

So yes. I was bullied, so what?

According to Jiang Bingbing’s words, Wang Jiexiang swept the ground.

She buried her head and swept it seriously, not letting go of a single strand of hair.

On the shopkeeper’s birthday, the barber shop closed early for an unprecedented time, and colleagues made appointments to the food stall for barbecue and beer.

Wang Jiexiang went in a group.

There is a treat for this meal.

She ate a free dinner, laughed and laughed with everyone, and ate herself to the fullest.

On the way home, after passing the sky bridge, Wang Jiexiang accidentally encountered a vendor selling rabbits.

It is Wang Jiexiang’s favorite rabbit.

This is undoubtedly the happiest moment of her day.

She ran over quickly, squatting in front of the cage to look at the rabbit.

In winter, the wind was strong and the cold wind blew, and she and the rabbit were shaking with cold. She looked at them, and the closed chat box suddenly opened.

“Hey, rabbit, you guys also come from far away, right?”

The rabbits listened to her with their ears up, and the rabbit eyes fixedly looked at her.

“Even if you go to a big city, you are still locked up in a small cage. You can’t help it, right?”

Wang Jiexiang sighed long.

The rabbits gathered in front of the cage in silence.

They were listening, and she spoke more vigorously.

“It’s really cold in winter, will you be cold?”

“I want to grow thick white hair just like you.”

“Have you eaten enough today? Eat more.”

After holding back his emotions for a day, he pours out.

She really wanted to touch them, touch the soft claws without pads.

Unfortunately, no, the rabbit was kept in the cage, and Wang Jiexiang was kept outside the cage.

None of them are free.

She blinked, her eyes were astringent, and her heart was hollow, as if a hole had been broken.

“Hey.”

The boss looked at her for a long time and was impatient.

“If you really like it, buy one.”

Wang Jiexiang shook his head at him.

With her neck shrunk into the scarf, she stood up and left the booth.

…

At the door of his house, Wang Jiexiang was blocked by the landlord.

“Girl, I will confiscate your deposit. You can’t pay the rent late, right?”

Wang Jiexiang didn’t figure out the situation: “Huh? I paid the rent for this month.”

“I mean the rent for next month.” The landlord paused. Seeing that she was still bewildered, she continued to explain: “We rent a house in the city. The rent must be paid one month in advance. You should pay the money at the beginning of the month. Give it to me.”

“Can I replenish you at the end of the month?”

At this moment, where is the money in Wang Jiexiang’s pocket, let alone two hundred and five, not even fifty.

“My previous job is gone, now I am looking for a new job, and there will be no pay in the shop until the end of the month…”

While they were talking, her next door neighbor returned home.

The landlord greeted him.

“Xiao Yin, are you coming back so late?”

The neighbor nodded at her and entered the house.

Wang Jiexiang stood by the wall, thinking about money, bowing his head listlessly.

“Where did you talk?” The landlord turned her head to look at her: “Can you rent me the room now?”

She rubbed her hands and said softly, “I’m really sorry, I don’t have so much money now…”

“Well, it’s the end of the month at the latest, not as an example.”

The landlord crossed his hands, his expression unwilling.

“Although the facilities here are relatively simple, but the location is good, I don’t have to worry about renting it. I’m ugly, if you delay paying the rent at the end of the month, don’t blame me for renting the house to someone else.”

“I will pay it at the end of the month!”

Wang Jiexiang bowed gratefully: “Thank you, thank you.”

She is determined to work hard.

As for those subtle discomforts, it doesn’t matter if you can bear it.
