nothing special

Ren Qinghong's injury went to the hospital to have the stitches removed. Fortunately, the doctor who stitched up Ren Qinghong's wound was of a high level at that time, the wound was not obvious, and the hair on his forehead fell down to cover up the small scar.

After he recovers from his injury, Ren Qinghong will go to work in the company. The company leader asked Director Lu to apologize to Ren Qinghong in front of everyone in the company. During Ren Qinghong's holiday, he also specially identified the person who spread the message.

In fact, it was an employee of the business department, and the company punished Director Lu and that employee.

Ren Qinghong didn't care about these, as long as he proved his innocence.

After half a month's leave and returning to the company, he had accumulated a lot of work. Ren Qinghong had to work overtime on the first day of work.

Still the same sentence, the wool comes from the sheep, and such a good thing will not happen for no reason.

When the accountant got off work, he specially asked Ren Qinghong to go back earlier, as it would be too late for a girl to go home safely.

Ren Qinghong unexpectedly discovered that since the conflict with Director Lu, the accountant obviously took more care of Ren Qinghong, but Ren Qinghong wanted to settle some of the work accumulated this month, so he was busy until ten o'clock in the evening .

It was ten o'clock, Ren Qinghong didn't even eat dinner.

I hurriedly sorted out the documents, turned off the lights and locked the company's door to go home.

It's past ten o'clock, and some stalls in the snack street have also closed.

Ren Qinghong bought two cakes and a bowl of bean curd soup at a bakery stall, and walked towards home.

Surprisingly, the lights in the barber shop are still on today.

Xiaoshan was taking a bucket to pour the hair inside into a cardboard box by the door.

"Did you rest so late today?" Ren Qinghong asked.

"That's right, a customer is a bit late for getting his hair done." Lu Shan said, and looked at Ren Qinghong again, "You came back so late?"

"Well, working overtime today." Ren Qinghong smiled faintly.

At night, there were two people standing beside the narrow road.

"By the way, this is for you." Ren Qinghong took out a hot scone from his bag and handed it to Xiaoshan.

"No need, you can eat, I'm not hungry." Lu Shan declined.

"I bought two and I couldn't finish them all by myself."

Ren Qinghong didn't eat much because there were only two cakes left in that stall, so Ren Qinghong simply bought them all, he didn't expect to meet Lu Shan at this moment.

"Okay, thank you." Lu Shan said, taking the hot scone from Ren Qinghong's hand.

"You're welcome, then close the door, I'm going back."

"Yes, good bye." Lu Shan waved to Ren Qinghong.

"Goodbye." Ren Qinghong smiled.

Although he was working overtime, Ren Qinghong's mood became exceptionally good, his previous fatigue was swept away, and he walked home cheerfully.

The end of the year is approaching, and the weather is extremely cold.

The winter in the south is more difficult than that in the north. Although the temperature in the south is not as low as that in the north, the winter in the south is humid and cold, and there is no heating in the south, so people huddle together whether indoors or outdoors.

In the small barber shop, no matter it is night or day, it looks cold.

Considering Lu Shan's situation, the proprietress specially bought a small solar heater for personal use. Although the effect is not great, it also adds some warmth to the cold winter.

"Xiaoshan, are you going home this Spring Festival?" the proprietress asked Xiaoshan when there was no one in the shop.

I saw Xiaoshan shook her head with a bitter expression, "I won't go back."

Lu Shan's home is in a remote mountainous area in G Province, where there is no traffic, and it takes more than two hours to walk across two mountains from the town to her home.

The fare from City J to home is a huge expense, and now Lu Shan also has the difficulty of not being able to go home.

Lu Shan works as an apprentice in a barber shop and earns about [-] yuan a month, including food and housing. Lu Shan doesn't spend much money herself, and all the money will be sent home.

Lu Shan is the eldest daughter of the family. She has a younger brother and a younger sister. Her parents are old farmers who grow vegetables and raise pigs to support the whole family.

Lu Shan would help her parents to work in the fields at home, but now that she is away, she may only be able to send some money to support the family.

Lu Shan has been able to endure hardship since she was a child, so even a small cubicle in the barber shop is enough for her. The proprietress also sees that Lu Shan is a good girl, so she takes Lu Shan here as an apprentice.

In the past, she did a lot of farm work, and in winter Lu Shan would get chilblains on her hands, which were itchy and painful, and her hands were red and swollen.

But even so, Lu Shan never complained. Lu Shan is an optimistic and strong girl. She never complained about the helpless decisions made by her parents, and she was more apologetic to her parents.

The end of the year is a period of high incidence of various cases, and things like this happened in a small barber shop.

As usual, the proprietress and Lu Shan saw off the last customer in the store. Today's end time was late. The proprietress's husband specially came to pick up the proprietress home. It was already eleven o'clock at night when Lu Shan finished packing all the things.

On the empty street, only the light of this barber shop was still on. Lu Shan lowered the rolling shutter door of the main gate, and when it was about to be lowered to the end, the door suddenly jammed. Immediately afterwards, she stretched her hand in from under the rolling shutter door, scaring Lu Shan. Shan jumped.

The shutter door was pulled from the outside, and Lu Shan saw a man in a black leather jacket and a black hat shrank in, holding a somewhat rusty kitchen knife in his hand.

Lu Shan could almost imagine what was about to happen.

"Robbery." The man said in a hoarse voice.

In this way, Lu Shan would be a soft-shelled turtle, and the man became lustful when he saw Lu Shan's beauty and tried to put down the rolling door.

Lu Shan was scared but calm. When the man turned around to open the shutter door, she casually took a jar from the table and smashed it on the man's head. The man was clutching the back of the head that was hit by Lu Shan in pain.

Lu Shan waited for the opportunity to push away the man blocking the door, trying to get out from under the shutter door.

The man was terrified by Lu Shan's actions, and after reacting, he grabbed Lu Shan's arm to prevent her from running out.

Lu Shan was so frightened that she broke into a cold sweat, she could only call for help loudly in such a situation.

In this cold winter and at night, there was no one around. Lu Shan's strength was not as strong as that of a man, and she was about to be pulled closer to the house by the man. At the very moment, Lu Shan saw a car approaching on the road. Lu Shan shouted for help with all her might.

The car stopped, and a young couple got out of the car.

Seeing this, the young husband hurried to grab Lu Shan, while the wife chose to call the police.

With the help of the two, the man who robbed did not succeed, but was trapped in the barber shop by them. The police car arrived quickly, and several policemen finally subdued the gangster.

The next day when Ren Qinghong went downstairs to buy breakfast at the breakfast shop opposite, he saw a lot of people sitting around talking about the robbery that happened last night.

Ren Qinghong bought breakfast and was about to leave, when he suddenly heard someone talking about the little girl from the barber shop.

Ren Qinghong's heart skipped a beat, did yesterday's robbery happen in a barber shop?So how is Lu Shan doing?

Ren Qinghong hurriedly came to the door of the barber shop, and found that the shutter door of the barber shop was half-rolled, she lowered her head and looked inside.

"Lu Shan, Lu Shan." Ren Qinghong shouted.

Soon someone came out from inside, unfortunately it was not Lu Shan but the wife of the barbershop.

"Oh, it's you, little girl. Something happened to Xiaoshan." The proprietress's complexion was not very good. After hearing Lu Shan's call yesterday, she rushed to the store again, and she didn't rest all night.

In the morning, he rushed to the store to count the losses. He had just arrived and saw Ren Qinghong.

"What happened to her?" Ren Qinghong asked anxiously.

"He was resting at my home with a slight injury." Lu Shan was slightly injured and frightened when she was arguing with the gangsters yesterday.

The proprietress was also terrified when such a thing happened, if she hadn't met the young couple, Lu Shan, she still wouldn't know what to do.

"Yesterday..." Ren Qinghong wanted to ask what happened yesterday.

The proprietress gave Ren Qinghong an overview of what happened yesterday, and after learning that Lu Shan was fine, Ren Qinghong went to work in peace.

As expected, Ren Qinghong was late this morning.

After getting off work in the afternoon, Ren Qinghong appeared at the door of the barber shop again, and unexpectedly she saw Lu Shan.

The proprietress wanted Lu Shan to stay at her house for the next few days, but after what happened yesterday, she was worried that a little girl like Lu Shan would live in the store.

But Lu Shan didn't want to bother the proprietress's family too much, and the proprietress's house is not big, there are five people living in a two-bedroom house, and it would be inconvenient for Lu Shan to stay there, so she chose to come back.

There was a bandage on Lu Shan's hand, which was accidentally injured yesterday when she was entangled with the gangsters.

"Why are you here? You got off work so early?" Lu Shan asked when she saw Ren Qinghong appearing in the shop.

"Are you okay?" Ren Qinghong didn't answer Lu Shan's question, seeing her pale face with a bandage on her hand, he asked with a frown.

Lu Shan smiled, "I'm fine, just a little injury."

She was very grateful to Ren Qinghong for caring about her.

Ren Qinghong admired Lu Shan very much, he could still laugh when something like that happened yesterday, if she met her, he would be afraid for several days.

"Aren't you afraid?" Ren Qinghong asked.

"Scared." Thinking of the scene yesterday, Lu Shan also felt horrified. If she hadn't run out desperately to call for help, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Thinking of the gangster's eyes, Lu Shan still felt shuddering, but all of this has passed, right now, she is standing here safe and sound, as long as it is like this.

"Are you still living here in the future?"

"The proprietress said that I can't live here in the future, and now I can't find a suitable house for a while, so I live here temporarily." Lu Shan said.

In fact, Lu Shan doesn't mind continuing to live in this small cubicle, but the landlady feels unsafe, so she considers finding a room for Lu Shan.

The price of houses is so high now, even some old houses in good locations cost more than six or seven hundred a month.

After considering her own situation, Lu Shan prefers to live in the shop.
