Inside the brown-red door, snoring rumbled. A hand knocked on the door, calling:

"Rat, rat, get up!"

Tie Ming stood outside the door and shouted at Rat to get up.

The rat inside woke up suddenly, and when he looked at the curtains, the strong light came in one by one, and he was about to get on his buttocks. Tie Ming listened to him get up and said that he would wait for him to get dressed and come down to have breakfast together.

As he spoke, the door opened. Tie Ming was also taken aback, this kid was faster than thunder, and he put on his clothes in a flash. Tie Ming looked at the rat quietly.

I saw that he was still wearing that tattered shirt, all because he was embarrassed to wear Tie Ming's clothes again, and he could wear this one after washing, so he put it on at will. Tie Ming frowned when he looked at it. Looking at Ah Rat's face again, it was also cold: his beard was unkempt, his face was oily and buttery, and he was very depressed, like a young man in his twenties, ten years old, and still a poor common man who worked hard.

Tie Ming looked at him silently, and he didn't say anything, just smiled and said:

"Rat, after breakfast, I'm going to take care of my head and face, and then I'm going to look at my clothes, are you going to go with me?"

A rat smiled innocently - he looks like this, no matter how he takes care of it, he is a little gangster, but Brother Ming wants to go, I will accompany him to take a look, so I readily agreed.

The two went downstairs to eat. Breakfast is an omelette, grilled sausage with soy milk fritters. The two of them ate face to face at the same table, just like brothers, and Tie Ming was happy that Ah Rat had abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and peeled an egg for him.

"Thank you, Brother Ming."

Rat ate deliciously, he hadn't had a decent breakfast in a long time. Tie Ming watched him eat, his eyes were full of tenderness, just like he looked at his younger brother, and advised him to eat slowly and not in a hurry.

After finishing the meal, Tie Ming took Ah Rat to drive to the famous Red Rose Barber Shop on New Street to get his hair done. The streets are full of people, and in a year's time, the tide has turned.

The ladies' cheongsams are getting shorter and shorter, the sleeves are cut off to the diaphragm socket, and a large snow-white arm is exposed for people to see. Looking at the men's suits, they are becoming more and more refined, and the standard equipment is becoming more and more complete, such as bow ties, felt hats, gentleman's hats, canes, pocket watches, and glasses. Leather shoes, which used to be popular with round heads and foggy faces, are now switched to pointed-toe and glossy, and the uppers are getting lower and lower.

Tie Ming looked at the pedestrians coming and going, and thought that he had to prepare another outfit, and he had to help Ah Rat do the same, no, make him a few more, and he had to change his clothes. Rat sat in the co-pilot, looking at the street scene outside the car window for a while, and looking at the configuration in the car for a while, his eyes were full of admiration.

When they arrived at "Red Rose", as soon as Tie Ming and Ah Rat got off the bus, a waiter greeted them and beckoned them to come into the store to do their hair.

The two were led in, and lay down on the wide chairs in the shop, where two little girls came to tie the big cloth. Tie Ming is calm and straight, and allows others to tie a belt around his neck. A rat looked uncomfortable, never let a woman touch his neck, too unaccustomed, one time said it was itchy, and the other said that it was too tight, all of them were nervous.

"Rat, just relax and sit, they have the number in their hands."

Rat smiled embarrassedly, and the waitress said, "It's okay." "After tying the bib, a barber came up and spread out a beautiful book to introduce the new hairstyles one by one. Tie Ming listened carefully, and discussed with the barber for a long time before deciding on a hairstyle that was three or seven points off the head, and instructed the rat how to choose a hairstyle that suits him.

After several trade-offs, Ah Rat finally decided on one and asked the barber to cut it by hand. Imagining that I had a new hairstyle, I don't know whether I am handsome or handsome, I can't bear it in my heart, and I want to see my new image soon.

"Chirp-brush-click-"

The barber is skillful, and with scissors, and with clippers, carefully like shaping an antique, every time he starts to do it properly, every penny is good, cut just right, cut bad, the guest will blame, the boss will scold, you will lose your job. The barber cut it very carefully and carefully.

The hour hand turned, and the antique in his hand slowly appeared. Finally, the four of them exhaled, and after the cut, the barber's arms and shoulders were sore and stiff, and Tie Ming and Ah Rat's necks were numb, it was not easy to cut their hair. When you look at the two people in the mirror, they have changed their faces, which is really a big change. The barber asked them if they were satisfied. Tie Ming nodded, and Ah Rat also nodded. Just now, two waitresses came up and asked them to trim their beards.

As soon as the waitress stepped on the pedal, the barber chair was flattened, and the rat exclaimed, thinking that something was wrong, and the people in the shop held back a smile. Tie Ming just let him lie down comfortably. The rat's eyes widened, his hands folded on his chest, and he saw the girl holding a small scraper appear above his head with a "poof", and the rat called out again:

"You, what are you doing?"

This sentence made the girl "giggle", and the people in the room also laughed forward and backwards, how could a shaving beard be scared like this? Tie Ming couldn't help but laugh, and told him that he just took care of his head and face, and didn't care. The rat slowly calmed down and stared at the girl, afraid that she would wipe her neck with a knife.

The girl gently held his chin and gently scraped it on his chin and lips. "Rustle-" Like a silkworm murmuring, it was quiet and comfortable. Tie Ming closed his eyes, but Ah Rat became nervous again, and his palms began to sweat: he had never let a woman shave himself, he had never been so close to a woman, he was really not used to it, so he had to hold his breath and remain motionless, which made the girl's snort clearer, Ah Rat "brushed" his face red, and muttered, hurry up and end it.

After shaving her beard, the girl changed to small scissors to cut her nose hair, and the rat was about to lose her breath, holding her breath so much that her eyes were about to fall out. The torture should be over, it's too hard.

"All right, sir."

The girl said a word, Ah Rat was relieved, sat up, looked in the mirror, wow, who is this, how can you be so handsome? A rat became narcissistic, touched his chin, and cleaned it so cleanly, he didn't expect that he could clean it up so decently, not bad.

Tie Ming paid, and the two walked out of the barbershop, and Rat thanked him. Tie Ming looked at Ah Rat's clean appearance and was happy for him. Personal hygiene needs to be done, and people have to clean up decently. No one wants to deal with a grizzled, unkempt, oily face. The phoenix loves the feather, the peacock loves the tail, isn't it all because of face!

Overdone, Tie Ming drove to a high-end suit store to buy a suit. As soon as he entered the store, Ah Rat was attracted by the two tall and straight mannequins in front of him, how charming, this figure, this decent appearance, people couldn't help but look at it twice. Tie Ming saw that he liked it, pointed to the suit on one of the models, and said to the boss who was following him:

"Boss, give this a try."

"Okay, it's all in size, it's yours to wear. – What size do you wear? ”

Tie Ming glanced at Ah Rat and told the boss, "Medium!" The boss shouted to the clerk to bring a set, and guided Tie Ming to go to the fitting room to try to see if it fits, and if he is not satisfied, he can adjust it. Tie Ming took the clothes, took them in his hand and felt the fabric carefully, yes, the material is okay. Looking at the stripes on it again, each one is straight and clear, and the workmanship is okay. The rat watched intently from the sidelines, with a look of affection.

"Rat, let's try this."

"Me, Brother Ming?"

Tie Ming smiled and took him to the fitting room, and the clerk opened the curtain and respectfully invited him in, if there was anything to call her. Rat stepped in with trepidation. There is a large polished mirror on the side of the fitting room, how beautiful the frame is, it is still Western-style, why is there a lewd and sloppy little gangster in the mirror? Isn't that me!

Ah Rat was nervous for a while, no wonder the shopkeeper here didn't greet him at first, probably thinking that he was Brother Ming's little servant, hey, it was really a shame for Brother Ming. Rat hurriedly drew the curtain and changed into this delicate suit. It's really hard to wear, and there are too many buttons, one by one from the bottom to the top, and I feel that the gas is getting tighter and tighter, Mom, why is there a button on this collar, I buckle it!

"Whew-"

Strangled Lao Tzu! What the hell is this. Rat stretched his neck to make himself comfortable, and then put on his coat and pants, and in this way, he was as good as the model in the window. A rat smiled, looking at himself in the mirror, he couldn't imagine that he was so handsome in a suit, this tall and stylish upper body, this slender and straight legs, this ...... Ah, this shoe is so mismatched.

"Where's the shoes? What about shoes? ”

The rat was looking around, and the clerk outside heard his voice and asked him:

"Sir, is there anything you can help with?"

"I'm looking for shoes, did you just bring them in for me?"

"Sir, the shoes in the store are all templates, you don't let you try them and don't sell them, you can see if the clothes are good first, and then go to the shoe store to buy them."

The clerk politely declined his request, and Tie Ming asked her a little unhappily:

"If you don't have shoes to wear, how can you try to figure out if the clothes fit, you have to look at them from head to toe to count, otherwise it depends on imagination? Your boss is a bit difficult for customers. ”

The clerk had nothing to say, so the boss came over, said "sorry", and asked the clerk to take off the pair on the model's feet, and asked Tie Ming, "I don't know if your friend is wearing it, whether the size is appropriate." Tie Ming thanked him and said, "Give it a try." The boss asked the clerk to bring the shoes in.

After a while, there was a "bang", and the curtain opened, just like lifting the big red curtain on the bride's big sedan chair, which was too exciting. Ah Rat was still shy, lowered his head, raised his head and asked Tie Ming embarrassedly:

"Okay?"
