362. Preparing for pruning
After finishing sorting out this customer and sending him away, Lao Zhou felt completely at ease and had time to face Gu Cheng and the cute little Youyou.
He stuffed the haircut fee that the customer had just handed over into the drawer in front of the counter. At this time, it was already full and almost overflowing. These were all the work rewards he had received this week.
According to his previous habit, he would deposit what he had accumulated in the past two weeks into the bank. Seeing his bank card balance rising every week was the happiest moment for him.
"How is Auntie doing lately? Why haven't I seen her during this time?"
Because there were no customers in the barber shop at this time, Gu Cheng didn't seem so anxious, because no matter how many people came next, he would be the next one to get a haircut.
The aunt he is talking about here is Lao Zhou's mother, because the mother and son depended on each other and grew up together. After the aunt retired, she still had no time to relax all day long. Although now with Lao Zhou's craftsmanship, she can almost eat and drink without worrying about it.
.
But the elderly always want to find something to do, so when they have nothing to do, they often come over and help their sons do whatever they can, such as sweeping the floor, cleaning up the garbage in front of the door, wiping the utensils, and helping Lao Zhou clean them.
, towels are used in daily life.
I could see him when I came to Gu Cheng several times before, but today it was Lao Zhou who stayed here alone, which was really strange.
"There is an aunt in my hometown who is not feeling well and seems to be hospitalized. My mother bought some things and went to check out the place. It may take a few days before she comes back."
Lao Zhou explained, but did not go into details, because his early childhood experience made him not very friendly towards relatives in his hometown. Mother and son depended on each other, and they always encountered various difficulties and difficulties in life, but these relatives
Not only did he not help, he would even come over to ask for debts during the Chinese New Year. Although he knew that repaying debts was a natural thing, it made Lao Zhou feel unfavorable to these relatives who always forced his mother.
He squatted down, looked at Xiao Youyou's curious eyes, suddenly smiled, and reached out to wipe away the remaining cookie crumbs from the corner of the other person's mouth.
"I like cookies, and uncle has them here too. If you obediently let uncle trim your hair later, uncle will reward you with a cookie, okay?"
Although Lao Zhou's life and tone of voice make people think that he is gay. But those who are familiar with him should know very well that his sexual orientation is undoubtedly that of girls. It is just because his appearance is too coquettish and feminine.
, so that he always encounters various problems and difficulties when looking for a girlfriend.
So even though I'm a little older, there is still little progress in my love life at the moment. As a man, the older you get, the more you want to have a small family of your own, so when you see other people's cute children on the road,
Lao Zhou will also have some longing and expectation in his heart.
Looking at the cute little Youyou in front of him, Lao Zhou's voice and tone became endlessly gentle.
As if feeling the kindness released by the uncle in front of him, Xiao Youyou also became happy. He stretched out his palm, stretched forward, and covered Lao Zhou's face with his warm little hand, and touched it.
, then narrowed his eyes into a crescent shape, and showed a big smile to this uncle.
This feeling of being touched by a child was Lao Zhou's first experience. He was suddenly a little stunned and surprised. He stayed where he was and did not dare to move for fear of scaring Xiao Youyou. When the other person smiled after touching him, he also
His mood became happier after working all day.
"You see he likes you, okay, let's start now. Finish the cutting early and then we can chat."
Lao Zhou nodded. Anyway, let's finish the work first and have a lot of free time to deal with the remaining things. Thinking of this, he immediately started to make preparations.
Because his barber shop is downstairs from an apartment, the people who come here to get haircuts are quite mixed, including the elderly, children, women, and men.
As we all know, cutting children's hair is the most troublesome thing for barbers. After all, children are not as sensible as adults. Moreover, children themselves are uncontrollable individuals. You want them to be quiet.
It's very difficult to sit on a stool and wait motionless for you to finish pruning.
It is precisely because he knows the degree of difficulty that Lao Zhou also added some facilities to his barber shop, such as a special seat for trimming babies' hair. This seat is much larger than other seats in the shop.
It is convenient for guardians to hold their children and sit together on this specially trimmed seat.
There are also some electronic devices placed in front of this seat, which play very childlike cartoons, hoping to attract the attention of children. We even purchased some toys that are popular with various people, including Superman, which is popular with boys.
, there are Barbie dolls that girls like, and wave drums that children like.
Even the dustproof clothes worn on the body have one-piece ones specially made for babies. This one-piece type for babies allows their hands to move without being restricted. The main purpose of covering is the chest and back.
Because it is very difficult for children to wash their hair, Lao Zhou did not ask Xiao Youyou to go to the shampooing place to wash it first. Instead, he asked Gu Cheng to sit on the seat with his daughter, and then gave it to the two of them.
After putting on the dust-proof suit, it was the first time for Xiao Youyou to wear such clothes. He looked very curious. He grabbed the dust-proof suit with his hands and curiously looked at this transparent and smooth garment.
Lao Zhou was holding a special watering bottle for barber shops in his hand. It was filled with clean water that he had just received from the hair washing place. He used the watering bottle to spray the hair to moisturize Xiao Youyou's hair so that it could be trimmed later. When he saw this
When an uncle got something in his hands, little Youyou thought it was a novel toy. He stared at the strange tool motionlessly, and even made babbling sounds in his mouth, as if he wanted to ask for it with his open hands.
.
"This is not a toy for you to play with. Baby, please sit down and be good and don't move around. Let uncle spray water on you, okay?"
Feeling that his daughter was squirming around in his arms, Gu Cheng smiled helplessly and apologetically at Lao Zhou, then restrained his daughter's body with his arms, while softly comforting him.
Emotions.
Taking advantage of the fact that the baby's attention was attracted by his father, Lao Zhou quickly picked up the watering can and sprayed it on the child's head a few times. He felt that the humidity was almost suitable for his work, and then he quickly placed the watering bottle on Xiao Youyou's head.
