Chapter 29 New Year’s greeting manager, meet Yan Qiu to cut new heads
Zhen Shanmei usually looks carefree and bear-back. We all think she is very brave. Unexpectedly, there is a very brave girl living in this burly body. The roller coaster just now scared her. No matter how we invite her, she will not play any longer and keep saying, "I want to take a break, have a good rest, you guys can play first."
So, I sat on the wheel with another girl, Mei Qing and Li Hongmei were sitting on the wheel. We chatted and laughed and analyzed our feelings among others' screams. After we came down, Li Hongmei reported to Zhen Shanmei happily, and Zhen Shanmei regretted not going to experience it anymore, haha.
Next, we spent another half an hour queuing up to "go forward bravely". Seeing the people in front of us rushing down from such a high, I was actually very worried. In the middle, Zhen Shanmei wanted to escape at the last moment, but we stopped him. After all, she finally stayed. It was time for us. Everyone was wearing disposable raincoats and got into the car. Zhen Shanmei and I agreed not to sit in the first row, because it was too exciting, so I sat in the second row with her. She closed her eyes and grabbed my hand tightly with her right hand. The water truck carried us slowly to the upper reaches of the Tianhe River, and finally reached the top. The moment the water truck rushed down, there was a big wave. When I saw the waves flying through the glass, I closed my eyes unvoluntarily.
At the moment of rushing down, my mother, I felt completely suspended and completely lost weight, and my internal organs felt out of my body. I leaned back hard, thinking about the whistling wind in my ears, but I couldn't shout out, I just felt my heart beating constantly, and the wind was coming towards me, my hands were so numb that I thought I was going to die suddenly! After I got down, my body was wet, my hair was wet, and the raincoat didn't play a big role, 5555
After dinner in the evening, Mei Qing and the girls took me with a bag of fruit to greet Manager Mu again. Manager Mu lived on the first floor of our dormitory building. Their house was connected to each other. Mei Qing stopped in the middle of the first floor. There were two large jars on the left and right in front of the door. Two tall plants in the jars were seen, showing a few red flowers, which looked simple and quiet. There were more than a dozen orchids next to them, which were straight and dark green.
Happy New Year, you are all here, come and sit in the house.
A loud voice rang in our ears. I quickly turned my eyes back, raised my head and looked at the person who was talking. When I saw Manager Mu was standing at the door and shouting at us. We hurriedly said in unison, Manager Mu, Happy New Year, I wish you a happy New Year.
Immediately after Manager Mu, a kind elderly woman with short hair, white and fat, wearing gold earrings on her ears, a gold ring on her middle finger, and an jade bracelet on her left wrist. She was very rich. She had a smile on her face, giving people a kind and affable feeling, which was very useful. Needless to ask, this must be Manager Mu's old woman.
I followed the other people to congratulate and greet the New Year. Manager Mu's wife seemed very happy and pulled us into the house and said, "Okay, okay, this is the New Year."
It was only then that there were many people gathered in his family. It seemed that many workers were very good at doing things. They came to him early to greet him. I was very ashamed. We hadn't thought of this level yet. Just now, Mei Qing and the others asked me to greet Manager Mu. I was a little resistant. Now I think about it, we still need to learn a lot of human relationships and worldly styles. However, with so many workers coming, there is another possibility, that is, Manager Mu's home has a TV, and everyone may also watch TV.
As soon as I entered the house, Manager Mu's wife hurriedly brought candies, melon seeds and fruits over and asked us to sit down. I saw Mei Qing very casually. She walked to the cabinet under the TV, opened the door and took out a few disposable cups, went to the water dispenser to pick up the water, brought it over to each of us, and greeted many people enthusiastically while smiling.
Several girls immediately surrounded her and shouted "Miss Mei" and "Miss Mei" and chattering around Mei Qing. We don't understand what she said. Maybe she is her fellow villager. But from this point alone, we can verify Long Yanqiu's words: Mei Qing is Manager Mu's confidant, otherwise how could she be so familiar with this place?
Manager Mu asked me about my well-being and asked me one by one how we have been doing in the past two days. In the past, when we were in my hometown, the elderly at home said such words of self-containment, full of concern and concern. In a trance, I felt a little moved, and a hint of warmth and a hint of sadness rose in my heart.
Everyone found a seat to sit down. Because they were almost all girls, I was at a loss and didn't know what to do. I could only sit on the bench and occasionally glance at the TV. Seeing that I was very reserved, Manager Mu grabbed a handful of melon seeds and stuffed them into my hand, and asked with a smile, "Tang, eat some melon seeds, it's the first time I'm spending the New Year outside, are you still used to it? Where have you been playing these two days?"
I quickly stood up and picked up the melon seeds, then gently put them back on the tray, and replied respectfully, "Manager Mu, I have been shopping in Xialonggang with them these two days and went to the paradise for a walk. I originally wanted to come here to greet you yesterday, but I came back too late and I didn't have the nerve to come and disturb you."
It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s the New Year, it’s rare to have a holiday. You can go and visit more, I can come here anytime. Manager Mu showed his signature big gold teeth with a hearty smile.
During our chat, we found several female workers running around Manager Mu. One of them was not too tall, a little plump and especially active. They joked with Manager Mu from time to time, and also had small flirting movements. They spoke in a coquettish voice, fearing that others would not know that she and Manager Mu were very familiar with him.
Li Hongmei secretly told me that her name is Yang Xiaoxia, but she is a stolen person among the girls in the second workshop. Please don’t mess with her. I nodded quickly. I don’t know what her relationship with Manager Mu, and I don’t want to know, let alone inquire. Listening more and talking less is the safest thing.
In the third year of the Chinese New Year, I slept until I woke up naturally. It was already past 10 o'clock after I woke up. I got up slowly, washed and took a shower. Yesterday I made an appointment with Long Yanqiu to cut his hair together in the afternoon. In our hometown, we cannot cut our hair in the first lunar month, otherwise we will be beaten to death by our mother and uncle. The mother cannot tell the reason. Anyway, we cannot cut our hair in the first lunar month.
It was not until later that I grew up and read the book that I realized the reason: this was a way for the Han people to defend their national culture in the late Ming Dynasty to resist the cruel ideological rule of "leaving their heads without leaving their hair, leaving their hair without leaving their heads". But I couldn't do it anymore. I should have cut it a few years ago, but I was too busy and I didn't have time to make it. Now it's almost covered my ears, and it will be very long if I don't cut it. The weather here is too hot, so long hair is not very suitable.
I have several characteristics that have been preserved for many years, until now. First, I have left my head since childhood, four or six points, and I have never left my head and bust head like other children. Second, I have nails on my thumb and little fingers on both hands.
Once, when Manager Liu saw that my little finger had a long nail, he asked me, Tang, what are you doing for this long? I deliberately teased him and said that it was used to pick ears and pick your nose. He definitely didn't believe it, but this answer made him so happy that he was so happy that he hunched his head and laughed. In the next few days, whenever he saw me, he would stretch out his little finger and tease me like he was picking his nose.
After lunch, I followed Long Yanqiu to a barber shop called "Yi Jianmei" on the side of the road, which was more than 300 meters downhill. There were two women in my 30s who were sorting out tools in the inner room, and a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old was sweeping the floor. She should be an apprentice. Seeing us coming, the female boss in the inner room should be very familiar with Long Yanqiu, so she hurried out to say hello. They were talking in their hometown dialect, it turned out that they were fellow villagers, no wonder Long Yanqiu brought me here to cut my hair.
I must wash my hair first when cutting my hair, but when I saw Long Yanqiu sitting directly in front of the mirror, I followed him. The female boss took a watering can and walked up to me, tied up her apron, sprayed water on my head, wet her hair from top to bottom, and then squeezed a handful of shampoo, gently rubbed her hair, and gently circled her head with shampoo and warm water until rich foam was produced...
Then control the foam in the palm of your hand, scratch backward from the forehead, and from the back of your head from the bottom to the top, then slowly add water and shampoo, gently click to massage the scalp. When you hit the neck and rub your temples, it was really comfortable. After washing, the boss put down the chair and started to massage me. This is the first time in my life. The boss asked if he had enough strength while massaged. Actually, I was afraid of itch, but as a big man, it was a bit embarrassing to say that he was not under the force, so he said that he was just right.
The massage was very comfortable and I almost fell asleep. I cut my head and asked about the price. It was 20 yuan. Damn, it was so expensive. The first time I cut such a expensive head. I used to be 5 yuan and cut my head every 4 yuan. I didn’t expect that Shenzhen was so expensive. I thought it was Long Yanqiu who helped his fellow villager lead the business. Later, I went to other places to cut it a few times, and it was all the same price. I realized that I was wrongly blamed by Long Yanqiu. The hair cutting in Shenzhen was at this price. Everything was expensive. Otherwise, it would be a special zone.
After dinner, I went to the first floor laundry room to wash my clothes. I went out early and came back late every day these days. I haven't washed my clothes for several days, and I have accumulated a full bucket. I guess the workers have been crazy outside these days, and they must have not come back yet. There are only a few people in the laundry room. On the far left, a tall girl turned her back to me, with her legs rolled up, wearing a pair of blue flip-flops, and was rubbing her clothes vigorously there.
