Siheyuan: Happy life of veteran drivers

Wang Hongtao walked back to the silk shop as if nothing had happened.

"Shopkeeper Chen, how are my quilt covers and bed sheets going?" Wang Hongtao asked while leaning on the counter.

Liao Yucheng, standing aside, looked at him fiercely with an unfriendly look in his eyes.

"It should be ready now. I'll go to the back and ask."

As she said that, Chen Xueru twisted her body and went to the backyard.

After a while, Chen Xueru came back with a slightly apologetic look on her face.

"I'm really sorry, the sheets and quilt covers are already ready, only the pillowcases are missing, but I've already asked the chef to rush over there, so please wait a moment."

"Oh, I'll go make tea for you two. Please wait here." After saying that, Chen Xueru lifted the door curtain and went to the backyard.

Originally, Wang Hongtao planned to pretend to be sharp-eyed and pull out the underwear, but when he saw Chen Xueru going to pour tea, he had a new idea.

He took out two soybeans from his pocket and held them in the palm of his right hand.

After a while, Chen Xueru came over with two cups of tea. Wang Hongtao took one first. Just when Chen Xueru handed it to Liao Yucheng, he flicked the soybean from his right middle finger and hit Chen Xueru's right elbow.

Chen Xueru only felt her forearm go numb, and poured the whole cup of tea onto Liao Yucheng.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Manager Liao, I didn't hold it firmly just now, it really is..." Chen Xueru hurriedly explained.

"It's okay, just wipe it clean." Liao Yucheng jumped up due to the scalding of the boiling tea, but he said some words to comfort Chen Xueru.

After shaking off the tea leaves on his body, Liao Yucheng took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped it.

"Hey, Manager Liao, where did you buy this handkerchief? The color and shape are quite unique." Wang Hongtao pretended to be curious and asked as he leaned over.

Chen Xueru, who was standing by, widened her eyes in disbelief.

Liao Yucheng subconsciously shook the "handkerchief" and put it to his nose and smelled it.

After doing all this, Liao Yucheng realized what this thing was when he saw the shocked looks on the two people's faces.

"Um...Xueru, don't get me wrong, I don't know how this thing suddenly appeared in my pocket, I..." Liao Yucheng blushed and didn't know how to explain.

"Hey, I thought it was something so unique. It should be the waistband of your wife, Manager Liao?" Wang Hongtao said with sudden realization.

"Manager Liao, you don't need to explain. You're not stealing or robbing. What's wrong with having a pair of your wife's pants in your pocket? Don't people have some hobbies these days?"

After hearing Wang Hongtao's explanation, Liao Yucheng felt even more embarrassed: "No, this waistband doesn't belong to my wife at all, and I don't know where it came from..."

"Shh, Manager Liao, please keep your voice down. It's okay to put your wife's panties in your pocket, but if the panties belong to another woman, you'll be in trouble!"

"I……"

As the saying goes, choose the lesser of two evils. After thinking for a while, Liao Yucheng decided to accept it.

"Well, these pants are indeed my wife's!"

"I got up in a hurry this morning and accidentally brought it with me."

"I'll take it home and return it to my wife!"

After saying that, Liao Yucheng stuffed his trousers into his pocket and ran away dejectedly.

Wang Hongtao chuckled: "This Manager Liao has some unique interests and hobbies."

Chen Xueru nodded in agreement: "I thought he was a decent person before, but I didn't expect him to be this kind of person."

Wang Hongtao helped Liao Yucheng understand: "It's okay for a couple to play whatever they want, but it's a bit too much to bring them along when going out."

Chen Xueru felt a little tired, so she raised her hand and tapped her neck.

Wang Hongtao saw it and asked, "Does Shopkeeper Chen feel uncomfortable in his neck?"

Chen Xueru nodded: "I feel my neck is a little sore lately, maybe I have a stiff neck from sleeping?"

Wang Hongtao looked Chen Xueru up and down, then walked to the door and looked at Chen Xueru from the door.

"No, Manager Chen, you most likely don't have a stiff neck!" Wang Hongtao said seriously.

"what is that?"

"Let's not tell you what it is yet. You won't believe it even if I tell you now."

"Well, let's first talk about why your neck is sore and painful." Wang Hongtao said confidently.

"Manager Chen, you usually receive guests in this store, right?"

Chen Xueru nodded.

Wang Hongtao continued, "Look, your counter faces this way, but your door faces the other way. Every time a customer comes into your store, you have to turn around to see him."

"is not it?"

Chen Xueru was puzzled: "Yes, but what does this have to do with it?"

"Why is it not a problem? This is a very serious matter."

"Your store design is not good for you. You sit on a high stool behind the counter, and when there are no customers, you face this way."

"Whenever a guest comes, you turn your head. Whenever a guest comes, you turn your head. If you keep exerting force on one side of your neck, it will become more and more sore over time.

If you continue like this, you will get a stiff neck at best, facial paralysis at worst, and paralysis of the whole body below the neck in the late stage!"

Wang Hongtao walked around the room, gesturing up and down, with a very serious expression on his face, which made Chen Xueru a little nervous.

Fortunately, Wang Hongtao looked good, was a car driver, and rode a new bicycle, so people believed him even before he said it.

"You...what are you talking about? I don't believe it!"

"I just turned my head a few more times, how come my whole body is paralyzed? Don't scare me!"

Chen Xueru was just a little skeptical and was far from truly believing.

"You don't believe it, right? I know you don't believe it!"

"Well, I'll tell you a move and you follow it. After you're done, you'll know I didn't lie to you." Wang Hongtao said firmly.

"You...you better not lie to me, otherwise I..."

"Come on, it's the right side of your neck that's sore, right? So, stretch your neck and tilt your head to the left as much as possible."

Chen Xueru did as she was told.

"Yes, that's it. A little further away, a little further away..."

"Okay, keep doing this."

……

"That's enough, stop!"

"Now feel your neck again. Does it feel more uncomfortable than before? Do you feel that the right side of your neck is longer than the left side?"

Chen Xueru thought about it carefully and felt that it was exactly as Wang Hongtao said, so her original three points of belief immediately increased to six points.

Wang Hongtao: Nonsense! Who wouldn’t feel uncomfortable maintaining this posture?

"This... why is this happening?" Chen Xueru began to sound a little flustered.

"Did you ever injure your right shoulder or neck when you were a child?"

"I remember that I hit my left neck pretty badly once."

Wang Hongtao clapped his hands: "Transferred!"

"You don't understand? You injured your neck when you were a child, and it did heal at that time."

"But later on, your work habits worked against you. You always exerted force on your neck in one direction, causing the right side of your neck to become longer and longer, and it is now completely asymmetrical."

"Look at yourself in the mirror. Your head always tilts to the left out of habit. Don't you notice it?"

Chen Xueru's hairstyle is a 3:7 big wave, so she likes to tilt her head to the left.

Looking at herself in the mirror, which was slightly tilted to the left, Chen Xueru was anxious: "Why is my head still tilted? I bought a scarf two days ago, why didn't the scarf buyer remind me?"

Wang Hongtao was secretly delighted, but looked anxious: "Would you still buy the scarf even if the seller reminded you? Who is so kind as me?"

Chen Xueru followed Wang Hongtao's train of thought and thought: That's right! If someone with different lengths of legs came to the store to buy pants, she would definitely not tell them.

"I...why didn't I notice it earlier?"

"No, I have to go to the hospital right away!"

Chen Xueru was extremely anxious and ran outside in a hurry.

"Wait a minute, your illness won't work even if you go to the hospital."

"How can we cure it?"

"Massage!" After laying the groundwork for so long, Wang Hongtao finally stated the ultimate goal.
