Chapter 18 The Six Degrees of Separation Theory

The barber shop where my mother works is a medium-sized store with an estimated 70 to 80 square meters. It is not bad in Hutai County. There are several mirrors corresponding to swivel chairs and a shampoo.

At this time, there were no high-end sofas and reclining chairs next to the sink. People also popularized haircuts and blowing their hair for styling. Most of the words on the front of the hair salon were 5 yuan for men's heads and 10 yuan for women's heads. ten bucks.

This price is not much different from the price of small barbershops in some third-tier cities in later generations, but the facilities are far worse. In general barbershops, they just stand and rinse their hair after a haircut, and Yang Lichun is like this. a barber shop.

In fact, the boss also earns a lot, but the employees earn very limited.

When Wei Sheng entered the door, she saw her mother Yang Lichun was baking her hair. The guest was an old lady in her 60s, her half-white hair was being smeared with black cream, and it seemed that she wanted to dye her hair black.

"Mom." Wei Sheng entered the door with a smile, and saw that there were two other women sitting in the store chatting vigorously. She had a vague impression of these two people, both of whom were apprentices in charge of the helpers in the store.

However, Yang Lichun is a simple man, and he has never been idle.

She remembered that the boss was a man and was not in the store at this time.

"Xiao Sheng is here?" Because Wei Sheng used to come to the store to help her mother sweep the floor and wipe the table, it was not surprising that Wei Sheng came to Yang Lichun.

"Aiya! How did you bake this! It stained my ears!" The old lady suddenly called out, causing Yang Lichun to quickly withdraw his gaze.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll wipe it for you." Or it's not a big deal, it's even more common for the hair dye ointment to stick to the skin, but the old lady refused to forgive her, "Oh, mother, burn I'm dead, hurry up, hurry up!"

Yang Lichun hurriedly wiped it with a rag. She knew that some people were allergic to the ointment and felt a burning sensation on the skin, so she did not dare to be careless.

Snapped! The old lady suddenly raised her hand and opened Yang Lichun's hand, screaming, "What did you do! Wipe my ears with a rag? Go and get your boss for me!"

Yang Lichun quickly apologized and said, "These hand towels are all clean..."

"It's all covered with ointment? You fool the fools! I paid you to have my hair done and you did it for me!" She turned to look in the mirror again to look in her ears, "Look at my red ears. !"

At first glance, this old lady was a mean person, and she scolded Yang Lichun by covering her face.

Apart from apologizing, Yang Lichun knew that it was useless to say anything else to an unreasonable old man.

Wei Sheng was angry and was about to speak, but Yang Lichun hurriedly stopped him, scolding, "Go home first!"

"I don't care! Just find your boss! I won't tell you." The old lady twisted her butt and sat on the chair.

The helper had already made a call just now. The boss also hurriedly walked through the door. He didn't understand the situation when he entered the store. Come and get a haircut for free.

Yang Lichun sighed and turned his head, and saw his daughter standing upright at the door, her eyes complicated and her lips pressed together, she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Xiao Sheng, you go home and wait for mom, mom is working. "

Wei Sheng paused for a while, then nodded lightly, she knew that she was a child now, and she was afraid that she would ruin her mother's job if she went to help.

Although she doesn't care about this job, her mother cares.

I have the ability to step up to scold and even pull my mother away, but I have no ability to let my mother ignore it afterward.

Thinking about my mother's life, when I was young, I was angry at the barber shop to work for others, and when I sold the house to help my husband do business, the husband committed suicide by jumping off the building when his business failed.

For the sake of her daughter, she married a man who was alcoholic and domestic violence. Not only did she have to work to make money, but she also had to manage the housework. In the end, she ended up alone and widowed in serious illness and hospitalized, but her daughter was not by her side.

Wei Sheng clenched his fists and turned to leave.

In the next two days, many people came to the house to see the house. My mother and my father, who was investigating in Chaonan City, would talk on the phone for a long time every night to discuss things.

Except for asking Li Qi to inquire about the situation of the Hutaishan racing car, Wei Sheng spent almost all of his time reviewing his homework.

What she wants to review is the knowledge she has learned more than ten years ago. Even if she doesn't eat it all, she will never forget it.

Since it is difficult for him to let his mother lead a superior life in a short period of time, it is better to comfort her in another way.

My father went to Chaonan City as soon as he was on vacation on October 1st, mainly to take advantage of the holiday to investigate the local situation, and to contact Chaonan's father for help.

That night, he called back and said that he was going to be busy in Chaonan for two more days. He wanted to resign when he came back, and then went to Chaonan alone to take care of the previous affairs, rented a house and ran a school, and then picked up Wei Sheng and his daughter.

Of course, all of this will cost money. Wei Sheng can see that his parents are in a hurry to sell the house. If he remembers a good deal, it will be done in the next two days.

But unlike the previous life, Yang Lichun did not intend to take Wei Sheng to rent a temporary house this time, because the aunt Xu Huizhen actually offered to let their mother and daughter live in her house during this time.

There is a fee left, Yang Lichun readily agrees.

On this day, Yang Lichun went out early to go through the handover procedures with the buyer.

"Wei Sheng, there is something you asked me to inquire about!" Li Qi also knocked on Wei Sheng's door and said happily.

Wei Sheng smiled, "Have you been contacted?"

"What are you talking about, the separation theory is really useful. I was thinking about where I should contact you about this matter, but I didn't expect that I would say to Li Linyi, hey! There is a door! A student in his school mixes with the outsiders. Zishu, bragged to them that he went up the mountain to watch the game, and then Li Lin found his junior brother, the junior brother found that bastard, and the bastard asked a friend to contact you!" Li Qi proudly said.

Wei Sheng said with a smile, "It's called the Six Degrees of Separation Theory, which was proposed by the Hungarian writer Frigyes Karinthy in 1929, which means..."

"It means that if you want to find anyone in the world, there will be no more than six people in the middle!" Li Qi interrupted her with a wave of his hand, "You've already said it once, what do you mean I can still forget it? Where's the money?"

Originally, Wei Sheng asked her to ask her friends if anyone knew the drivers or organizers who participated in the race in Hutaishan. Li Qi felt incredible after hearing it. She was a middle school student who had never heard of such a thing, so how could she know this kind of thing? people?

Then Wei Sheng told her the theory, and promised to give her five yuan for the success, and then left the dubious Li Qi and ignored it.
