Got haircut

My sir helped me cut hair. I am very happy and satisfied with his job. In fact, he just cut my hair shorter and made the bottom-line the same long.

Then, I trimmed his hair with complete confidence and I was much a skillful barber. He is satisfied with what I did to his hair. I am satisfied too, though there is definitely a large space for me to make progress. This is the third time that I trim his hair.

乞讨者beggar

昨天傍晚出去转转。走到一家西人超市,刚进去,迎面突然出现一个青年男人。长什么样子根本没印象了,因为我没有端详陌生人面孔的习惯。他个子高高的,戴着一个长长的项链,拿着一杯咖啡,身上散发着明显的酒气,过来就熟练地对我们说,他和很多人说了,没人相信他,他要换乘公交车,然后反复地说,我在跟你们请求。我害怕他是坏人,就装聋作哑,他看没戏就奔向下一个目标了。

     先生以为那人在说足球,问我那人到底是干什么的,看起来不像好人。真奇怪,有钱喝酒和咖啡的人,为什么要跟别人要钱乘公交呢。自从遇到这个怪人,我就有点不淡定了,不想再遇到他。从这家超市出来,门口竟又发现一个妇女带一个孩子,举着牌子对进出的人打招呼。平常都没有乞讨的人。难道他们和那个怪人是组团来的吗?怎么福利完善的加拿大会有要钱的人呢?他们从哪里来,晚上住哪里呢?

Midnight Flood

The other day, in the midnight, we heard a sound of water running on the wall. It was so clear and real, that I immediately checked and found it was really water running from the ceiling of the small living room next to our bedroom. The sound was very loud like a wild spring in the mountain. There must be something wrong in the upstairs.

   I called the landlord, but he hung up the phone immediately after picking up. He must have been in a dream but I had to call. I called again, the sleepy man answered and I told him the serious problem. After a while, I heard some people rushing to my upstairs but the water was still running from the ceiling and the sound of river was still loud. I asked my husband to see what happened and I checked our wall cabinet which was also found leaking water. I quickly moved all the things out of the cabinet. Luckily, most of them were safe from the flood.

   Later, my husband came back and said that he helped with solving the problem. It turned out to be a water pipe blew out, but the landlord could not switch off the valve. My husband switched it off.

   Then, I mopped the water in the wash room and cleaned our wall cabinet. While, the carpet in the living room and our cabinet was full of water, but I could do nothing with it. In order to help blow the moisture away, two electric fans kept running in the living room for quite a few days.
