Quick Wear: Men Farming and Women Weaving

Chapter 302 Hei Xiazi's Little Princess 62

In an alley, Hei Xia Zi was sitting leisurely on a slightly worn but still sturdy chair. In front of him was a simple massage bed. He was concentrating on giving someone a massage.

He was wearing a washed-out black T-shirt with a blurry cartoon pattern printed on it, and a pair of loose camouflage pants, with the bottom of the pants casually hanging over a pair of old leather shoes. His hair was a little messy, with a few strands of hair hanging down mischievously in front of his forehead, and he was wearing a pair of old-fashioned but unique sunglasses on his face, which covered his eyes tightly.

Next to him, there was a sign standing crookedly on the roadside. The sign was made of a rough wooden board, the edges were a little worn, and the words on it were written crookedly with red paint. Although it was a little faded, it was still clearly recognizable: massage, driving, looking for pets, unclogging sewers, unlocking. The sign seemed to silently tell the various jobs that Hei Xiazi did.

Hei Xiazi's hands roamed flexibly on the body of the person being massaged, with skillful techniques, pressing accurately on various acupuncture points of the human body with just the right amount of force. The person being massaged squinted his eyes in comfort and hummed.

However, when Hei Xiazi's hands pressed on the stiff shoulders of a middle-aged man, the situation changed. "It hurts... it hurts..." The middle-aged man suddenly screamed in pain, and the sound was particularly harsh in the quiet alley. His body trembled violently, and his originally relaxed expression instantly became distorted.

Hei Xia Zi was wearing sunglasses, but he asked in a teasing tone: "Brother, how long has it been since you pressed it?" As he spoke, he put his hands on the middle-aged man's shoulders and exerted light force. Only a series of clicking sounds were heard, as if it was the sound of an old machine running.

"Too stiff." Hei Xia Zi frowned. Although his eyes could not be seen through his sunglasses, a hint of ridicule could be heard from his tone.

The middle-aged man had a painful expression on his face, his facial features were twisted together, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He shouted at the top of his lungs, "Be gentler!" His voice was full of pleading.

After a while, the middle-aged man couldn't stand the pain any more. He sat up suddenly, rubbing his shoulders and angrily saying, "No more pressing... No more pressing!"

"I should have gone to a massage parlor and found a pretty girl for a massage."

After saying that, he hurriedly got off the massage bed and left with a staggering step.

Hei Xia Zi looked at the middle-aged uncle's departing back, shrugged his shoulders, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile, and said to himself: "You can't stand it at the very beginning. It's a pity to have all these problems." Then, he rearranged the massage bed and waited for the next customer to arrive.

"Father, have you made any money?" Jie Gege suddenly popped out from beside the billboard.

"This..." Hei Xia Zi racked his brains to think of how to explain it to Jie Gege.

"I want to eat candied haws and donkey rolls," Jie Gege looked at the small stall at the intersection with envy.

Hei Xia Zi felt the 30 yuan in his pocket, but seeing Jie Gege's eager look, he couldn't bear to refuse. At this moment, he suddenly had an idea, thinking that he might be able to exchange some food from the stall owner.

Hei Xiazi brought Jie Gege to the stall and said to the boss with a smile, "Boss, I haven't opened the stall for a day. Can I give this kid a string of candied haws?"

"I can give you a massage, which is also considered as patronizing your business."

The boss looked Hei Xia Zi up and down, half believing and half doubting, but then he thought he wouldn't suffer any loss anyway, so he nodded.

Hei Xia Zi gave the boss a massage with his skillful technique. After a while, the boss was so comfortable that he kept humming and said that the massage was worth it. In the end, the boss not only gave Jie Gege a candied haws, but also gave Hei Xia Zi an extra ten yuan, asking him to come again next time. Jie Gege happily ate the food, holding Hei Xia Zi's hand and saying, "Ama is the best!" Hei Xia Zi touched Jie Gege's head and said with a smile, "As long as Jie Gege is happy." Then, the father and son returned to the alley and continued to wait for the next customer.

At this moment, Xie Yuchen walked slowly in from outside the alley with a steady and somewhat casual pace. He was wearing a pink and white shirt with delicate dark patterns embroidered on the cuffs and a white suit jacket.

His eyes were sharp, staring straight at the black bear who was standing not far away.

Gege was playing and skipping by the side, holding a bunch of red candied haws in her hand, the crystal sugar coating shimmering with an attractive luster in the sun. She caught a glimpse of her father's familiar figure from the corner of her eye, and her originally lively eyes instantly shone like bright stars. Her little face flushed with excitement, and like a happy little deer, she ran towards Xie Yuchen with childish and eager steps. When she ran to Xie Yuchen, she jumped lightly, her two little arms tightly hanging on Xie Yuchen's body like vines, and her legs dangling restlessly.

"Daddy, you're back!" Gege leaned her little head on Xie Yuchen's shoulder, her voice full of joy and dependence, the soft tone seemed to melt people's hearts. Her two little hands were still scratching Xie Yuchen's body.

She paused for a moment, and then Gege suddenly remembered something. She opened her eyes wide and said proudly, "Dad, let me tell you, my father and I were awesome today! We went out to set up a stall and made money!" She shook her head proudly, like a proud little peacock. "Then, we used the money we made to buy candied haws, which were so sweet! Dad, do you want to have a bite?" Gege said, and passed the candied haws in her hand to Xie Yuchen's mouth, her eyes full of anticipation.

"Um"

Xie Yuchen bent down and took a light bite of it. He didn't like sweet things to begin with, so he didn't reject his daughter's kindness.

He gently picked up Gege and glared at Hei Xia Zi.

"I asked you to look after Gege, not to take her to set up a stall on the roadside."

Xie Yuchen turned his head slightly, and his eyes were like a sharp arrow, shooting towards Hei Xiazi's stall. When his eyes fell on the second-hand massage bed, his brows twisted into knots in an instant, and his face was full of undisguised disgust.

Hei Xia Zi put his hands in his pockets, smiled nonchalantly and said, "Oh, Huaer Ye, I just wanted Gege to experience life, and we made money to buy candied haws, Gege is so happy." Xie Yuchen snorted coldly, "You only know how to coax her, what good experience can there be in setting up a stall on the roadside." At this time, Gege hugged Xie Yuchen's neck, blinked her big eyes and said, "Daddy, Ama is so great, it's so comfortable to give people a massage, the boss even gave Ama extra money."

Xie Yuchen looked at Hei Xia Zi and said, "Okay, forget it this time. Don't bring her here to set up a stall again." Hei Xia Zi nodded quickly and said, "Okay, Master Huaer, I get it."

Xie Yuchen held Gege in his arms and looked at Heixiazi's stall again, "Pack up and come back with me." Heixiazi chuckled, "Okay, I'll pack up right away." As he said that, he began to pack up the stall quickly. After a while, he finished and left the alley with Xie Yuchen and Xie Gege.
