Chapter 8, Voyeur
Lu An once heard an old driver of the middle bus saying that every route has a fixed gang of pickpockets committed crimes.
Every time the driver sees pickpockets blocking the road on time and getting on the bus, he dares not stop.
Those with conscience should remind passengers at most: Don’t sleep, be careful of pickpockets, and take care of your own property.
On the way back, Lu An summarized today's investigation: four major categories of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and food, clothing, and food, housing and housing can be given up.
He has self-knowledge, either because he lacks relevant abilities, or because he has poor capital, or because he is limited by other conditions.
But he didn't have any gains.
Through the visit, Luan discovered two interesting phenomena.
The first interesting phenomenon is that he actually saw a girl who sketched portraits at the entrance of the Guifei Hotel.
Lu An stood on the girl's back for more than ten minutes. He basically judged that the girl was a student from the Arts and Technical School and her family should be from a good family. There were more than ten bottles of different types of acrylic paints in her carry-on bag.
In Baoqing student circle, a private rumor is popular:
One middle school is stupid, two middle school is evil, and night school is full of small broken shoes;
He is poor in his language and wealth, and is better than a tigress in his beautiful school.
Correspondingly, girls in No. 1 Middle School are all nerds; girls in No. 2 Middle School are both evil and good at reading and quirky.
I won’t talk about night school. Most of the women in society are like bars, dating, and abortions are common.
Girls in Textile Middle School are poor, while girls in Finance Middle School have money at home.
Finally, the female students in the Arts and Crafts School are both "breasted" and evil, and often have big breasts and beautiful girls holding a utility knife in their hands. It's really hard for men.
Lu An watched for a while and sighed: The girl's sketches focus too much on lines and structure, without interweaving, and lack artistic conception. With this talent, learning art is a very waste of time. She and her acrylic paints need me to comfort her.
The second interesting phenomenon is: any business that requires some skills on the street is often very good.
For example, cobbler, street tailor, haircut, repair shop
When it comes to repair shops, Lu An spontaneously thought of repairing bicycles, and he would do this craft.
Lu Xueping's relative, Lu Xueyou, is an old fitter at a state-owned chemical factory in the west of the city. He likes to sneak out to set up a stall to repair bicycles when he has nothing to do at work.
After the college entrance examination in his previous life, when he learned that Lu An was worried about the cost of college, his uncle in the lobby asked him to help repair his bicycle. If he was less, he could earn a few dollars a day, and he would never have had a chance to get dozens of dollars.
The reason why the car repair business is so easy is that the most common means of transportation for people to travel is bicycles.
Especially for those state-owned enterprises such as cigarette factories, chemical factories, saccharin factories, pesticide factories, feed factories and textile factories, almost everyone has one bicycle.
The saying "My country is a bicycle kingdom" is really not a joke.
Are there any bicycle repairs on the road?
Yes, of course.
However, like cousin Jacky Lu, most of them are state-owned technicians who are restless at work and come to make extra money.
For this reason, Lu An had a good idea to deal with them.
If you do your own car repairs, if there is an ignorant repairman nearby who competes with him for territory, he will report it to the other company, believing that you want to have a job with a job? Or for this little money?
It's 1991, the laid-off wave has not yet begun, and workers have a high status in society.
At this time, no one realized that there would be a huge change soon. The country would implement state-owned enterprise reform and lay off work.
In the traditional thinking of working families, jobs in state-owned enterprises are the most precious, a family heirloom, an iron rice bowl that can be passed on to future generations, and a hot commodity.
Let me put it this way, if you have been a state-owned enterprise worker in the past thirty years, you can find a wife even if you look crooked, and you are so popular in the blind date market.
So, if you steal territory and offend him fiercely, you will definitely report it to you.
…
It was already very late when I got home.
In the alley, except for a few older bachelors who went out to look for a lady, there were only workers who came back from night shifts, which were very quiet.
After walking for several hours, he was sweating all over and cleaned up the house. Lu An found out to change his clothes and prepare to take a shower.
Since Guifei Lane is an old-fashioned layout and there is no high-end design like a shower, every household will think of their own ways when taking a shower.
It’s okay for a unique courtyard like Luan. In this kind of weather, it’s very convenient to just sit in the yard and dig wells and take a shower.
For example, the No. 7 and No. 10 next to it are all 4-story barrel buildings, so it is very painful to take a bath. There is no tap water or water pipe. The kitchen is in the first floor public room, and the cold and hot water used for bathing must be lifted up with an aluminum bucket. Every household has a wooden round bathtub. After washing, it is a tin spoon to scoop the dirty water into the aluminum bucket and carry it outside to pour it out. The whole process is cumbersome and complicated, and it is more troublesome than having an affair.
With plastic whiteboard sandals and big shorts on her feet, Lu An took her first bath after rebirth.
A bucket of cold water that was so cold that it was poured down from the head, and a feeling of indescribable refreshingness was revealed throughout the body, and it was comfortable, and it was almost dying.
Suddenly, Lu An, who was about to rush the fourth bucket of water, recalled what did Lu An recall?
Suddenly, he turned around and looked at the 3rd room on the 2nd floor of the No. 10 door sign, and found a human face on the window. It was Widow Zhang, who was about 35 years old.
In the silence, the two of them looked at each other from the air, their eyes frozen at this moment, suffocating violently.
It's going to be dead! This terrifying scene almost scared Lu An fainted.
As expected, I kept peeping at myself, but I didn't make a sound. In the dark night, the human face was like a photo hanging behind the window glass, terrifyingly.
Lu An, who had recovered, took a deep breath, placed the aluminum bucket in front of his crotch, and calmed down.
He shouted: "Aunt Zhang, you are so bad! You have to pay!"
"Bang!" With a loud bang, a broken bowl was thrown from the second floor into the yard, smashing countless pieces.
Lu An quickly took a few steps back and shouted up again: "Double!"
Widow Zhang still didn't say anything, sneered silently through the glass window, pulled up the curtains, turned off the lights, and brushed her clothes away after the matter, hiding her merits and fame.
Damn, I have never seen such a righteous voyeur, I am so arrogant!
At this moment, a head was poked out on the third floor of the No. 10 door sign and shouted: "Lu An, Widow Zhang has been greedy for you for a long time, so you can just leave her!"
"Get out of here!!!"
Before Lu An could speak, Widow Zhang's fierce voice had pierced the sky, and the 3rd floor's big head quickly retracted.
"Hahaha!"
In an instant, a malicious laughter came from the entire Guifei Lane.
