Diary of a masseuse

In May 201X, the weather was cloudy with light rain.

I walked step by step, the road was not very smooth, but there was always a direction.

When I met Ms. Chen for the first time, I had been working in 'Still' for nearly a year, which is one of the brands that 'Still' can sell, with a considerable income.During this period, my younger brother’s condition has stabilized. Although he still needs to take imported specific medicines and go to the county hospital for kidney dialysis regularly, he can already go back to the village to live with his grandfather in the village, and he can continue to go to elementary school. .I am quite content. After a few more years, I will be able to save enough money for my younger brother’s kidney replacement surgery. When the contract expires, I will almost be able to save enough money for my younger brother’s marriage, house purchase and my own pension.

Ms. Chen was sent here by Fang Jie herself. She didn't state her identity clearly, but she only emphasized that she should serve her well.In our industry, we will come into contact with many such customers. The first thing to do in the industry is to understand the rules, and naturally not to talk too much.

It was not I who served Ms. Chen at the beginning, but Aile, another senior masseur in our shop, Ms. Chen ordered it herself.Ai Le is from a professional background and graduated from a university. Although his family conditions are not very good, he is already considered good compared to the people here. At least, he is contracted and can resign and leave freely. Many of us here are with me. Almost, directly signed a contract for five to 20 years, which to a certain extent is equivalent to the contract of selling oneself before liberation, and the liquidated damages are so high that they cannot afford to pay them in this lifetime.

Ai Le's appearance is masculine and upright with thick eyebrows, big eyes, tall and fit. He belongs to the traditional Chinese handsome man and is also one of the signs of 'Still'.In fact, Ai Le is not as tall as I am, but he has broad shoulders, long legs and full muscles, and his appearance has a bonus, so he looks tall and straight.And although I am 1.8 meters tall, I am thin and have a small frame. I don’t know if it’s because of my physique or what. I can’t develop muscles. In addition, I have a melon-seeded face with narrow eyebrows, long nose, straight mouth and small mouth. After that, the house sister changed her flat hair into slanted bangs according to her instructions, and the whole person went straight to the neutral direction of Japan and South Korea, and she didn't look tall at all.Well, this kind of image is actually quite popular, but I always find it awkward to be a man like this.

We still don't know where Ai Le offended Ms. Chen.Anyway, the result was that Aile never showed up at Still, and all of us masseurs stood in a row to listen to the manager for three hours.Since we are in our line of work, we have to understand our own strengths. Some small thoughts may feel good to me, but in the eyes of others, it is just a ridiculous extravagant wish of a toad.This is the manager's original words, and it is indeed a wise saying when you think about it carefully.

After dealing with Ai Le's matter, the house sister called me to the office, and Ms. Chen became one of my regular customers.

Ms. Chen seems to be very tired from work, and she is always exhausted every time she comes.The massage services I provide are more focused on relaxing the musculoskeletal muscles and relieving fatigue.Ms. Chen has a separate private room in 'Still', and the massage location is usually there. After getting familiar with it, Ms. Chen often falls asleep in the middle of my massage. After I finish my work, I naturally have to pack my things and settle the guests. , It is inevitable to touch some of Ms. Chen's personal items.Occasionally, Ms. Chen's satchel was not fastened, and I fastened it for her and put the bag on the bedside.After I came out of the private room and returned to my small room, I lay down on the bed with my legs limp.In the bag, there is a pistol.

'Still' There is no saying of rejecting guests here. After this incident, all I can do is to do my best when Ms. Chen comes, and dare not make the slightest mistake.Fortunately, although her personality is not easy to get along with, she gives a lot of tips.

The younger brother has to come to the hospital here in the provincial capital for reexamination every six months.Grandpa was too old to move around, so he sent the younger brother to the train in the county town of his hometown and entrusted him to a flight attendant he knew, and I went to the train station to pick him up here.

I asked for three days off, and then made an appointment with my younger brother's therapist. I bought some fruit and a set of cosmetics, and rushed to the train station early the next morning.The fruit is for the staff on the bus, and the cosmetics are for the flight attendants you know.Cannibals have short mouths and short hands.There must always be something to show for the trustee's care.

Pick up the younger brother and live directly in the small hotel next to the hospital.I live in the dormitory provided by 'Still' in the provincial capital, obviously I can't bring Xiao Yezi to live there.

The child is very obedient and sensible, and he also has a schoolbag and homework.After leaving school for more than a year, my younger brother is a bit older in the class, but he is thin and small and does not stand out. In addition, his grades are very good, and his family background is sympathetic, so he is still very popular with the teachers.The younger brother doesn't look like me, my appearance is purely a mutation, he is more like his father and mother, with a square and tiger-headed appearance, but a little pale and thin.

Rest in the morning, and in the afternoon I took him to the mall to buy some clothes and daily necessities, and then went to the bookstore.The educational conditions and learning materials in rural areas are much worse than those in cities. I almost fell on it back then, but I have to correct it when I come to my younger brother. Education starts with babies.

The next day I took him to the hospital for an examination and took medicine. The doctor still said that the sooner the kidney transplant operation, the better.I was still silent, and asked the doctor to find the source of the kidney first.The operation fee plus postoperative medication is at least 30 yuan, and the kidney source is even less than [-] yuan. I dare not talk about it. Now even if I sell it, I can’t get it out.

"Brother, grandpa said, we are not in a hurry for surgery, I'm fine now." The child said from a very young adult, and nodded in affirmation.I poked his head, the little hairy boy was worried after eating salty radish.

On the third day, I took Xiao Yezi for a stroll around the provincial capital, sent him to the train in the evening, and entrusted his things to the flight attendant.Went to work the next day, full of energy.

Children are probably of the healing department, and every time Xiao Yezi comes over, it makes me feel very good.Even when I received Ms. Chen the next day, my mood didn't change.The identity of the person is their business. I am a small masseuse and I can get a tip after I serve. Customers who tip a lot are good customers.

"I saw you in the hospital yesterday with a baby, and the family members are sick?" She was massaging Miss Chen's head when she suddenly asked.I was stunned for a moment, and then quickly realized: "Oh, that's my younger brother. The child is not in good health. Come and have a checkup." "Have you found out anything wrong?" Ms. Chen asked casually with her eyes closed.I continued to move my hands, lowered my head and carefully looked at her expression. I usually don't talk so much: "It's okay, the condition is good." This is what the doctor said. According to this situation, the child will recover after a period of nursing care. This is the best situation without a kidney transplant.

Ms. Chen turned over, I added some essential oil, and continued to massage the back of her head, cervical spine and shoulder blades. "You don't look much like your younger brother." Miss Chen's voice was a little smiling, "It's just that when you were an older brother, you were different from usual." I also laughed: "My younger brother looks like my brother. Man, this is a long-distance run." "It's a good run." Ms. Chen joked. "Well, it's out of level, out of style." I followed suit, and Ms. Chen smiled and stopped talking, but gave a tip of 2000 yuan before leaving.

I was a little surprised. Although Ms. Chen was generous, she never gave so many precedents. It also confirmed my own thoughts. Ms. Chen is indeed a good guest.

Every time Ms. Chen comes over, I basically have to spare an afternoon, and this time is no exception.After Ms. Chen left, I had some free time and went to the bank.Deposit this half month's income into the bank card, transfer out the living expenses of grandpa and Xiao Yezi, and transfer Xiao Yezi's treatment expenses for the next month to the account designated by the county hospital. Check the balance, 11.Among them, more than 6 yuan was left over from the original 30 yuan, and the remaining 4 yuan was saved this year.Not too much, but full of hope.
