Upon hearing that Sha Gu said that the little bald man was going to commit suicide by jumping into the river, Tang Qing stuffed the greeting card into Sha Gu's arms, turned around and ran towards the entrance of the People's Barber Shop.
"Master Jiujin, he's at Dongqiao, he's at Dongqiao."
The silly girl chased her to the door and shouted at Tang Qing's back.
Tang Qing didn't know if he heard her clearly, but her figure quickly disappeared from the downtown street.
"Little bald man, listen to Allah, money is an external possession, but you only live once."
"Aunt Shanghai, please stop trying to persuade me. I owe so much money and I will never be able to repay it in my lifetime. Only by dying can I settle it once and for all."
On the East Bridge, the little bald man stood on a bridge opening in the north, and the Shanghai aunt and the little bald man’s wife stood on the floodway under the river embankment.
Last night, because of the issue of repaying debts, Little Baldy had a quarrel with his wife, and Little Baldy ran away from home in anger.
Early this morning, someone came to tell Little Baldy’s wife that Little Baldy was standing on the bridge opening of the East Bridge and planned to commit suicide by jumping into the river.
The little bald man's wife walked out of the house crying and was about to go to Dongqiao to find the little bald man. Just then, she ran into a Shanghai aunt and a silly aunt hugging her to welcome the new year and go out to welcome the new year. They asked her what happened?
After the little bald wife explained the situation, the Shanghai aunt asked Sha Gu to come to the People's Barber Shop to find Tang Qing, and she accompanied the little bald wife to Dongqiao.
The little bald man slept in the bridge hole of the East Bridge last night. The more he thought about it, the worse his heart got. The worse he felt, the less he wanted to live in this world anymore, so he wanted to jump off the bridge hole.
But when he saw the river flowing eastward, the little bald head hesitated. At this time, an old man who was fishing in the morning happened to see the little bald head. He advised the little bald head that you could commit suicide by jumping into the river silently.
If it doesn't cause problems, it will cause trouble to your wife and children at home.
The little bald man asked the old man why?
The old man said that if you want to commit suicide by jumping into the river, you must have encountered some trouble. Since it is trouble, you should deal with it before leaving.
The little bald man said, after we have taken care of it, why should I walk away?
The old man said, since you know you can't handle it well, why do you leave the trouble to your family?
The little bald man said that I had to leave just because I couldn't handle it well.
The old man said, wrong, since you are determined to leave, you should also let those who caused you trouble know that you are leaving because of them, so that they will let your family go.
Little Baldy is right to think about it, but how do I let them know?
The old man said, tell me what your name is? Where do you live? I'll call your wife over. When your wife comes, cry for a while. Don't the people in the whole city know that you are going to commit suicide by jumping into the river? You are the one who is causing trouble for you.
People naturally came to the scene, right?
Well, that makes sense. The little bald man told the old man his name and home address, and sat in the bridge hole to wait.
As soon as the little bald man's wife arrived, she burst into tears and advised him not to commit suicide by jumping into the river and leaving her and the child behind.
As soon as the little bald wife cried, the embankment and the bridge were suddenly crowded with people, and some even drove over to watch the fun.
The little bald man’s wife cried until her voice became hoarse, so the Shanghai aunt began to persuade her, but despite her earnest persuasion until her voice became hoarse, the little bald man still insisted on jumping into the river.
There are more and more people watching the excitement. It cannot be said that there is a huge crowd of people. At least the river embankment and the East Bridge are all crowded with people.
"Everyone give way, give way."
"What should I give in to? If I want to see the fun, I won't come earlier?"
"That's right, why should I give way to you? I also want the person in front to give way to me so that I can see more clearly."
"Did you know? She is the nine-pound master of the People's Barber Shop."
"Ah? It's Master Jiujin? Then hurry up and go forward, go forward."
The spectators automatically moved out of the way to let Tang Qing pass.
"Master Jiujin..."
"Master Jiujin..."
When the Shanghai aunt and the little bald wife saw Tang Qing arriving, they cried out "Master Jiujin" in a hoarse voice as if they were looking forward to a savior, and tears flowed down unconsciously.
"Here, drink some water."
Tang Qing first handed two bottles of mineral water to his little bald wife and the Shanghai aunt, and then took the New Year greetings from the Shanghai aunt's arms.
"My little Yingchun, give me a hug, give me a hug."
Tang Qing took a leisurely stroll along the Xinghong Road with the spring in his arms. He did not try to persuade or scold the little bald head as soon as he came there, as everyone imagined.
"Master Jiujin, he..."
"Master Jiujin, you..."
The little bald wife and the Shanghai aunt wanted to remind Tang Qing, but Tang Qing ignored them and continued to take a leisurely walk on the flood control road with Yingchun in his arms.
"This is not like the legendary Master Jiujin. Why is he just holding a child and playing with it?"
"I think Master Jiujin only has this little toilet water, and he doesn't know how to persuade the little bald man when he comes."
"Yes, it seems that everyone has spread the word that she is too magical. Is she just a barber?"
"..."
The focus of the crowd turned from the little bald head to Tang Qing, and there was constant discussion.
"Hey, Master Jiujin, what are you doing here?"
The little bald man stood on the bridge and asked Tang Qing.
"Huh? Little bald head? What are you doing standing there?"
Tang Qing raised his head and looked at the little bald head pretending to be surprised.
"I'm going to commit suicide by jumping into the river!"
The little bald man's throat crackled.
"Suicide by jumping into the river? Why?"
"Because I don't want to live anymore."
"Oh, very good, you will die sooner or later anyway, die early and be reincarnated!"
"Master Jiujin, why don't you ask me why I committed suicide?"
"Does your suicide have anything to do with me? Why should I bother asking you?"
"Well, I'll jump down and commit suicide now."
"Do you really want to jump? Then wait a moment. Wait until I take out my phone and you can jump again."
"What are you doing with your phone?"
"I want to take a picture of your graceful posture when you jump into the river. Look, there are so many people waiting for you to jump with their mobile phones. There are also cameras set up over there. I guess they can make a lot of money from your jump."
"When I jump, they make money?"
"Yeah, don't you know how valuable scenes like this are now? Especially scenes like yours of jumping into a river. It is said that they can be sold abroad."
"Then I won't dance!"
"How can you not dance? You must dance, and your posture must be graceful, otherwise it will affect their ability to sell at high prices."
"I just won't jump, I won't jump! If I jump, my life will be dead. It's better for them to use the scene of me jumping into the river to make money. Am I stupid? Use my life to make them make money? I won't jump, I won't.
Jumped."
The little bald man grumbled and climbed down the bridge hole and came to Tang Qing's side.
"You little bald man, do you still know that you are stupid? I think you are so stupid that you have even thrown the face of eighteen generations of your ancestors into this river!"
As Tang Qing spoke, he put the Yingchun in his hand into the arms of the Shanghai aunt, and then stretched out a foot at lightning speed and kicked the little bald head hard at the knee, causing the little bald head to fall to the ground.
"I'll make you stupid, I'll make you stupid!"
Tang Qing went over and grabbed the two hands of the little bald head. He cut them back and used force to pull the little bald head up and walk towards the river embankment. As he walked, he shouted:
"It's all gone, it's all gone. Go and do whatever you have to do. I won't dance today."
The crowd automatically made a way out again.
Tang Qing led the little bald man in front, followed by the Shanghai aunt and the little bald man's wife.
Along the way, the little bald man didn't dare to say a word, so he was taken to the People's Barber Shop by Tang.
"Tell me, why do you do this stupid thing?"
Tang Qing pushed the little bald man to sit down on a long bench and poured him a cup of tea.
After the little bald man drank a cup of tea, he knelt down in front of Tang Qing with a plop and cried bitterly:
"Master Jiujin, I'm burned out when I trade in stocks. I'm burned out when I trade in stocks. I can't live anymore."
"Child, did you burn something?"
Tang Qing's mother came over and asked the little bald man.
"Mom, why are you here?"
"I heard that this kid is going to commit suicide by jumping into the river. I'm worried. Come and have a look. Kid, what did you say was fried?"
"Auntie, I'm so confused when I trade in stocks. I'm so confused when I trade in stocks. I can't survive."
"Stock trading? Are you going to commit suicide by jumping into the river if the mushrooms are fried? Tell aunt, are you frying mushrooms or enoki mushrooms? Auntie will go to the vegetable market to buy them for you immediately. If you still can't fry them, aunt will fry them for you.
