Chapter 8: Tomboy
It's better to act than excited, Gu Yaluo closed the door and went downstairs and came to the barbershop. Just below the tenement building where she lives, the store is not big, and the two hairdressing chairs are sitting with people at this time.
There was no business at noon, just a man waiting on the bench at the door.
Gu Yaluo sat next to him, and quietly observed the barber while waiting for a seat.
In my memory, the barber is a mother and daughter, and everyone likes to call them Aunt Hua and Sister Hua, and I really can't see the relationship between the two without saying it.
The two of them were dressed in flowers, and the powder on their faces was thicker than the wall.
When the haircut is a mother and daughter, they also 'flirt' with the men.
Life is difficult and they have to do it, as can be seen from the smiles on their faces.
Not only does he get a haircut but also shave here, so Gu Yaluo has been waiting for a little longer.
After sending off the guests, vacating the seats, Aunt Hua shook the white cloth apron for hairdressing and said, "Next." ”
Aunt Hua came back with an apron and saw Gu Yaluo, who had already washed her hair, sitting on a chair, and said in surprise, "Luo'er? You came to get a haircut, your mom knows? ”
"Know! It's not about the New Year, and she doesn't have time, so she asked me to get a haircut myself. Gu Yaluo said calmly, "Remember the money first, and she will come back in the evening." ”
Aunt Hua looked at her little adult, pursed her lips and smiled, "Okay, then what does Luo'er want to cut her head?" It's good to tie up long hair like yours, what kind of haircut! She took the scissors and looked left and right.
Anyway, it's upstairs, and I can run the monk, but I can't run the temple. Besides, Mrs. Gu can still owe her a few cents for a haircut!
The reason why Aunt Hua believes in Gu Yaluo, the old saying is: a haircut for the New Year, meaning a new look from the "head", Ming'er is the first day of the Lunar New Year, these days she is in this small shop, the mother and daughter are so busy that they don't even have time to drink saliva and go to the toilet.
Gu Yaluo happened to take advantage of the noon, and when she waited until the evening and evening, it was estimated that she would not be able to stand it.
"What do you want to cut?" Aunt Hua touched her combed shawl and said, "I think it would be good to fix it a little." ”
"Aunt Hua, do you have a pen and paper?" Gu Yaluo raised her eyes and asked.
"Yes!" Aunt Hua handed her the pen and paper she had found, "Why do you still have to ......?" "I watched her draw her own appearance with a few brushstrokes, and drew her hairstyle with a brush.
Peanut was stunned for a moment before saying, "Luo'er, Aunt Hua admits that this hairstyle is very suitable for you, but this is too short for girls." This is the hairstyle of a little boy. ”
In the 70s, men in Hong Kong and Taiwan had long hair, and it was the kind of big bun that was so thick and dense that it covered the ears, which looked messy, like a bird's nest on the head.
The Gu Zhanshuo brothers have that kind of hairstyle, a little shorter, a bit like mushroom heads.
"It's so clean and refreshing, so easy to take care of. Aunt Hua, please help me cut it! Gu Yaluo glanced at Aunt Hua from the mirror, and said lightly with her chin on her hand.
It is necessary to have a boy's hairstyle, so that it can be indistinguishable from male and female. Living in a tenement building, it is inconvenient to take a bath, and long hair is too troublesome.
"This looks like a tomboy, you really have to cut it." Aunt Hua asked again, looking at her dark and shiny hair with pity.
"My mom agreed." Gu Yaluo said.
"Alright then!" The scissors in Aunt Hua's hand, clicking...... Click.
Gu Yaluo instructed a little in her mouth, "From the top of the head, we should pay attention to the layering of the cut, the bangs should be a little oblique, broken, a little fluffy at the top, and the short ends of the cheeks are close to the ears, so that it is more neat and ......"
After a while, "How's it going?" Aunt Hua put down the scissors and picked up the small mirror, so that Gu Yaluo could clearly see the back of her head.
Gu Yaluo nodded with satisfaction and praised, "Aunt Hua's craftsmanship is great. ”
Gu Yaluo's current hairstyle is ultra-short, refreshing and playful, the creation of oblique bangs gives people a sense of handsomeness, and trims them into beautiful shapes, and sets off the delicate facial features, and the melon seed face looks more small and lovely. The silky hair is very moisturized and eye-catching.
Not only does it shape the uninhibited nature of a little girl, but it can also make yourself refreshed all summer.
The premise is, of course, that she recognizes her as a girl.
"Thank you, Aunt Hua." Gu Yaluo got up and left very satisfied.
"Mom, I want to ...... too," Sister Hua said as she sat on her chair and fiddled with her hair.
"Don't even think about it, you still have long hair for me, girl." Aunt Hua simply refused.
"Isn't that snail also a woman?" Sister Hua looked at the handsome short hair, she was really envious!
"Luo'er is still young, how old are you, if you cut it like that, how can you get married." When Aunt Hua thought about her short hair, she felt that the man and woman were upside down, and goosebumps rose all over her body.
"Hurry up, here's a guest." Aunt Hua picked up her daughter and started cutting her hair again, and she was able to make a small profit a few years ago.
During the Chinese New Year, at least from the first month to the second day of February, the business of this barber shop will be very light. Who let the rule left by the ancestors: don't shave your head in the first month, shave your head and die uncle!
Gu Yaluo walked on the streets of the 70s, which was completely different from what she remembered, and there was a strong 'ancient meaning' in her face.
The streets are lined with large and small shops, with rickshaws, bicycles delivering rice, soda tanks, and dried seafood hanging at the door of the seafood shop, and very flavorful advertising billboards pasted on the iron sheets of the stalls.
Since you are planning to make a profit, there is nothing faster than gambling to make money. It's a pity that gambling in Hong Kong has not been legalized, but Macau is legal, and she will definitely not be able to enter as a minor. However, there is an underground casino, which is a good place to go, and she has no problem coming and going freely.
Gu Yaluo flicked the five-yuan steel hammer in his hand, and searched while walking, some industries are affected by the New Year's holidays, and only the gambling industry is prosperous at any time, especially holidays.
"Is that you?" Gu Zhanshuo patted her on the shoulder and said.
When Gu Yaluo heard his voice, it seemed that she had to suspend her actions, turned around and smiled, "Big brother!" ”
"Is it really you, you have hair?" Gu Zhanshuo looked at the younger sister in front of him who was shorter than his hair in a daze.
"Cut!" Gu Yaluo rubbed his head and smiled, "How handsome!" ”
"Handsome?" Gu Zhanshuo shook his head and said, "No...... But how do you cut it like this, be careful Mom comes back and spanks your little ass. ”
The ultra-short boy's head shape makes the usually obedient girl's sister look a little more handsome and pretty.
Gu Yaluo's face was full of black lines when she heard this, "spanking," she took the initiative to take Gu Zhanshuo's arm, and then blinked slightly, with a slightly playful taste in her eyes, "Big brother, you have to plead for me!" I really don't want to have long hair, it's inconvenient to take a shower. ”
Gu Zhanshuo thought about his current situation, and he couldn't even take a good bath, "Luo'er, brother will definitely let you live a good life." ”
What a fool? The heart lake rippled and throbbed like a drop of water dripping in.
Burned by his burst of intense gaze, Gu Yaluo looked at the bulging snakeskin bag on his back, and changed the subject, "Huh! Big brother is back so soon. ”
"Oh! It's full, so I'll send some home first. Gu Zhanshuo looked at her and said, "Won't you go home with me?" ”
"Okay, go home." Gu Yaluo's voice was unexpectedly soft, with a hint of sweetness.
"Luo'er, aren't you tired?" Gu Zhanshuo was worried about her body.
The illness was not good, and in the morning I had another fight with someone else and was carried back.
"Okay, I'm not tired at all." Gu Yaluo shook her head and said, frowning slightly, finding that her physical strength had recovered quickly.
This may be the relationship between the fusion of soul and body.
Good phenomenon!
It was already half an afternoon when the brother and sister returned home, Gu Zhanshuo put down his things and left again, and went to the barber shop to pay for Luo'er first.
Gu Yaluo, who was stepping on a soda can, time did not allow, and it seemed that the plan had to be postponed to tomorrow. Let's go out and have fun tomorrow on the first day of the new year and find another chance!
Bored, she pondered the sudden auditory hallucinations and the images in her head.
Is it because of blood relations? They warn when they are in danger.
I can still use it on others, I really thought about it for a long time, and my body was not uncomfortable. It's not a bad thing to forget it, I don't want to.
Half an afternoon passed like this while stepping on a soda can, feeling so hungry that I only drank a bowl of chicken porridge at noon.
Gu Yaluo decided to cook and find out the rice at home, but as for the vegetables, she couldn't find them if she wanted to. I had to go to the kitchen to make porridge first.
The door opened at this time, and Gu Zhanshuo saw the thing in her hand, "Luo'er, put it down, put it down, I'll cook." ”
Gu Zhanshuo threw away the snakeskin bag in his hand and reached out to take the rice in Gu Yaluo's hand.
"Big brother, you haven't washed your hands yet!" Gu Yaluo dodged his dirty hand that was stretched out.
"Big brother, don't get in the way, let me in!" Gu Zhanyan stood behind him and said.
"Okay, you wait for me to wash my hands." Gu Zhanshuo first turned sideways to let Gu Zhanyan in, and then went out.
Gu Zhanshuo washed his hands and took the rice to make dinner, while Gu Zhanyan and Gu Yaluo stepped on the soda cans they picked up again.
"Second brother, today's harvest is good!" Gu Yaluo looked at the soda cans that were piled up like a hill.
"Yes! It's not Chinese New Year's Eve today, and I drink a lot of soda these days. Gu Zhanyan is very satisfied with today's harvest, "There will definitely be more after the year." ”
"Wait! Luo'er, you now distinguish me and my eldest brother very clearly! Gu Zhanyan stepped on the soda can and looked at her in surprise.
You must know how the two brothers look, and sometimes Mom admits mistakes, let alone this sister.
"The second brother has a black mole in his right eyebrow, but the eldest brother doesn't." Gu Yaluo pointed to his face and said.
"Really!" Gu Zhanyan ran to the mirror and opened his thick eyebrows, "It's really yes!" I can't really see it if I don't look closely. I didn't even find out. He raised his eyebrows and said, "You've got really sharp eyes." ”
