Siheyuan: My life is my decision

"All right"

The barber put down the manual clippers in his hand, cleaned He Daqing's hair briefly and said

"Zhuzi, what do you think?"

He Daqing stood up from the stool and smoothed his hair with his hands, looked at He Yuzhu and said

"Well, not bad, I feel a lot more energetic."

He Yuzhu looked at He Daqing's flat head, nodded and said with a smile.

"haha, really?"

He Daqing touched his hair and asked with a smile.

"Of course, Dad, come over and sit down for a while, and I'll get a haircut too."

He Yuzhu waved to He Daqing and said

"to make"

After He Daqing finished speaking, he walked over and sat down. He Yuzhu came to the stool in front of the barber and sat down.

The barber first washed He Yuzhu's hair. At this time, washing your hair was not like the way in later generations. There was a place where you could lie down comfortably and wash your hair. In a slightly more upscale version, there would even be someone who would give you a head massage.

In this era, when you get a haircut and wash your hair, you sit on a stool. The barber places a shelf in front of you with a washbasin filled with water. Then you sit on the stool, bend down, and lower your head. Facing the basin, the barber will start washing your hair.

After washing his hair, the barber wiped He Yuzhu's hair clean with a towel, picked up the hair clipper and was about to push He Yuzhu's hair, but was stopped by He Yuzhu.

"Wait a minute, can you give me a haircut without this?"

He Yuzhu looked at the barber in the mirror and said, this manual clipper is too uncomfortable to get a haircut. From time to time, it will pinch one or two of your hairs, which makes it painful when you pull them. Moreover, the results are basically flat hair.

"Don't need this?"

The barber looked at the clippers in his hand, and then looked at He Yuzhu doubtfully.

"Yes, no need for this, just give me a few scissors and it'll be fine."

He Yuzhu pointed to the scissors placed on the countertop

"This? I've never cut it like this, and I don't know how to do it."

The barber was a little confused after hearing what He Yuzhu said. What is this request? This guy is here to cause trouble. He has always used hair clippers and has never used scissors to cut hair.

"It's okay, just do this, cut your temples a little shorter, and then..."

He Yuzhu started to tell the barber how to use scissors to cut hair. He was talking about the broken hair that was popular in the 90s. He Yuzhu didn't know how to do the haircuts that were too complicated in later generations, but he really didn't want to get a crew cut, it was too ugly.

In this way, under his narration, the barber gradually understood

But he looked at He Yuzhu with some curiosity. How did he get a haircut like this? As far as he knew, no one in Baocheng knew how to cut hair this way.

He Yuzhu ignored the barber's curious gaze and just asked him to start

He Daqing on the side was listening to the conversation between He Yuzhu and the barber. His heart kept thinking, is this my son? How does he know so much?

Although he was also very confused, he did not ask.

In this way, with the help of He Yuzhu, the barber completed the haircut here. Looking at the hairstyle in the mirror, He Yuzhu nodded with satisfaction.

"Well, he's much more handsome than before!"

He Yuzhu stood up from the stool and said something sultry

The barber looked at He Yuzhu's hairstyle and was actually quite shocked. It turns out that hair can be cut like this?

“Good workmanship”

He Yuzhu handed the money and tickets to the barber, then turned around and greeted He Daqing to prepare to go back.

"Well, comrade..."

The barber took the money and tickets, with a moment of hesitation on his face. Seeing that He Yuzhu and the others were about to walk out, he quickly called out to He Yuzhu to stop him.

"what happened?"

He Yuzhu stopped and looked back at the barber.

"Well, can I use this skill to cut other people's hair..."

The barber's face turned a little red as he spoke. Originally, he wouldn't have cared even if he didn't mention He Yuzhu. He could give it to anyone, but his conscience couldn't bear it.

But people in this era are very simple. If you want to learn a craft, you have to kowtow to a teacher, let alone make money with it.

"I can give you money..."

When it comes to apprenticeship, the barber is a bit incapable of doing it. He is already in his 50s and 20s, and he can't bear to be apprenticed to a young man in his [-]s.

But he didn't want to give up. With this skill, he believed that his business would be much better, so he hesitated and finally spoke.

"Are you talking about the technique you used to cut my hair just now?"

He Yuzhu didn't react at first, but he didn't understand until the barber said he would give him money.

But he didn't intend to ask for money. What he just said was half-assed. He didn't know how to cut hair at all, so he didn't feel comfortable accepting the money.

Haha, if you want to use it, just use it, and you won’t need the money.”

He Yuzhu waved his hand to the barber and said

"No, how is that possible? I..."

As the barber said this, he quickly walked to He Yuzhu and wanted to take money out of his pocket and give it to He Yuzhu.

"No need, I didn't do anything. I just wanted to make my hair look better."

He Yuzhu interrupted the barber with a smile and said

"This..."

The barber Rezhen looked at He Yuzhu's eyes and realized that he was not speaking politely. He immediately made a decision

"If that's the case, I won't charge you for your haircuts this time. Just treat it as a little bit of gratitude from me. You can't refuse this anymore."

"Okay, then I'll be polite"

He Yuzhu thought for a while, nodded in agreement, then took the money returned from the barber and walked out of the barber shop with He Daqing.

"Zhuzi, do you regret it?"

He Daqing, who had been silent just now, turned to look at his son and asked

"Regret? Why regret it?"

He Yuzhu looked at his father with some confusion.

"What you just taught him is a new skill, and judging from his expression, this skill should be quite important, otherwise he wouldn't buy from you."

He Daqing squinted his eyes and looked at his son

"Haha, what's the point? To him, it's a craft. To me, it's just a temporary idea. Besides, I'm not the person who eats this bowl of rice."

He Yuzhu said indifferently

He Daqing nodded secretly after hearing He Yuzhu's words, this son is not bad!

"Dad, let's go back quickly. Ezi and Yuyu must be anxious."

"it is good"

After saying that, the father and son rushed to the courtyard. On the way, they met some young people who stopped He Yuzhu and asked where he got his haircut. They also wanted to get a haircut like this. It was so handsome!

He Yuzhu smiled and told them the location of the barber shop just now. After thanking him, several young people ran to the barber shop that He Yuzhu mentioned.

It seemed that the barber was very busy. He Yuzhu shook his head with a smile and followed He Daqing back to the courtyard.

"Dad, brother, you are back, wow! You are my brother! You are so handsome! Sister-in-law, look!"

In the courtyard, He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e had finished washing the clothes and were drying them. When they saw He Yuzhu and He Daqing coming back

He Yuyu looked at He Yuzhu's hairstyle, shouted loudly, and quickly stretched out his hand to pull Lou Xiao'e

"Okay, you don't have to worry about others making fun of you if you yell a lot."

He Yuzhu held his forehead and looked at He Yuzhu's exaggerated expression and said

"Dad, Zhuzi... you are back~"

Lou Xiao'e raised her head and called He Daqing first, then looked at He Yuzhu intently, her face turned red and her heart was beating wildly. He was really handsome!
