Chapter 5: The Creed of the Older Generation

"Team Lei, look at you, it's still so direct." Sun Duo said with a smile.

"Nonsense, it's a lot of trouble in this matter, so I quickly gave it to leave, and I want to go to eat a good meal at noon." Lei Baoquan said.

Sun Duo laughed, then bent down and took out an envelope from the drawer and handed it to Lei Baoquan.

Lei Baoquan took the envelope and was surprised with Jin Guo, the thickness of this envelope was much more obvious than the previous times, and it had obviously increased a lot.

Lei Baoquan raised his eyebrows at Sun Duo when he saw it, and said with a smile: "Tut-tut, this time you have a little conscience." ”

"This time, because the case is too bad, and the impact on the masses is also very bad, so the above offers a reward to find someone who knows, and now that you have solved this case, I will naturally add this money to you." Sun Duo said with a smile.

Lei Baoquan gave a thumbs up and praised: "It's still you facing me." ”

After that, he got up and patted Jin Guo and said, "Let's go, go back and eat delicious food!" ”

"Sit down a little longer." Sun Duo said.

"It's nothing, there's nothing to sit on. Now that I think about it, I retired as a wise choice, not only did I not have to waste time here every day, but I could also use the money to solve the case, why didn't I think about it earlier? Lei Baoquan shook his head and said.

Jin Guo couldn't help laughing next to him and said, "It's to blame that they didn't fire you earlier." ”

Sun Duo didn't hold back the "poof" again, Lei Baoquan glanced at Jin Guo and said: "I found that you are really more and more similar to Xiaobai, and this ability to taunt and mend the knife is really comparable." ”

After saying that, the three of them burst out laughing.

"Uncle, are you cold?" In the barber shop in the deepest part of the alley, Li Bai, who was sitting on a chair, looked at the old man who was cutting his hair through the big mirror in front of him.

The old man coughed lightly and steadied his trembling hands. He said, "My hands are shaking because of my age." ”

Li Bai looked at him helplessly and said, "That's why I'm afraid that you will hurt your hand, uncle." ”

The old man shook his head and said with certainty: "No, no, no, I still have this experience, which shaver can shave his own hands." It's not uncommon for me to shave a guest's head. ”

Li Baisheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said nervously: "Uncle, don't tease me, you won't stick the scissors on my head without holding them, right?" ”

"Look at your doll, what are you afraid of? Uncle, no matter how old I am, can I still get to that extent? The old man pouted.

"Okay, then don't worry, cut slowly. I'm not in a hurry, and I don't see you have a lot of guests here. Li Bai looked at this hut as far as the eye could see, except for Sister Wang, who didn't know whether her brain was squeezed or what, she would choose such a place, and other people with a bit of taste should not come.

"Don't worry." The old man still looked confident.

Then the old man took the scissors and looked at Li Bai's hair, cutting it and looking at it, with a deep expression.

Li Bai was a little bottomless by him. Asked: "Uncle, are you admiring my head?" Why don't you start cutting yet? ”

The old man shook his head earnestly. "I'm looking for a feeling, and to be honest, I haven't cut it in years." ”

"Huh?" Li Bai was taken aback, "Uncle, don't you tease me?" How many years have you opened your store without cutting? The hair that Sister Wang permed last time was permed by a ghost? ”

The old man smiled and patted Li Bai on the shoulder. said: "Doll, don't worry, the person you are talking about may have been scalded by my daughter-in-law." ”

"Huh?" Li Bai was stunned again, "Uncle, didn't you say that there are no other masters in this store?" ”

"When did I say that?" The old man asked rhetorically.

Li Bai recalled. The old man didn't seem to have denied it like this, so he said with a bitter face: "What about your daughter-in-law?" ”

"You just went out before you came, and there are usually no people in this store, so she often goes to help with the dishes." The old man replied.

"Messing with vegetables?" Li Bai was strange.

"Isn't there a restaurant at the mouth of this alley? She's just going to help people with the kitchen and stuff or something. The old man explained.

"Oh, then wait for her, and cut it when she comes back." Li Bai seems to see hope, her daughter-in-law should be better than him, right? At least it's a little more reliable than this old man who hasn't started for a few years.

The old man waved his hand: "No, no, no, I found a feeling." As he spoke, he cut it again.

Li Bai wanted to cry without tears, and said, "Uncle, are you using me to practice?" ”

The old man giggled and cut happily, and hummed a little tune. Li Bai's face was blank, thinking in his heart: Forget it, it should be regarded as contributing to the happiness of the elderly in their later years.

Ten minutes later, the old man put down the clippers and asked, "How is it?" I'll just make sure you're satisfied, boy, right? ”

Before Li Bai had time to evaluate, he listened to the old man praising his work there, and nodded helplessly: "It's really good, uncle, you are really not old." How much? ”

The uncle stretched out five fingers and smiled at him. Li Bai couldn't help it now, and said: "Uncle, although I don't care about this four-like hairstyle you cut, but you can't ask for a sky-high price, you can cut a very fashionable hairstyle outside for fifty yuan......"

"What's fifty? Why does it cost fifty to shave your head? These little cubs now really dare to ask for it. The old man sighed.

"Then ...... you" Li Bai wondered.

"Five bucks." The old man said.

"Uncle, you ......" Li Bai didn't expect the price to be so low.

The old man smiled and patted his arm and said, "Young man, don't underestimate shaving your head, this is a handicraft, not everyone can do it." Now what is popular and fashionable outside, none of them really calm down to inherit this craft. Shaving your head is not a matter of one scissors or two scissors, you have to look at it as an art, this is the frame that our older generation of shavers guarded, and now young people, no one pays attention to these things. Five dollars is not much, but if you don't have more money and less money, I will be happy if you are satisfied with my shaving. ”

The old man said sincerely, almost moved Li Bai to cry, Li Bai sucked his sour nose, took out ten yuan and handed it to the old man, and said, "Uncle, don't worry!" I'll come back to you next time! By the way, I'll bring my friends with me! You're so much better than those Matt Wash Scissors out there! ”

"Who killed the horse?" The old man didn't understand.

Li Bai smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, it's just a noun." ”

The old man nodded, turned around and opened the drawer, and said, "This daughter-in-law, I took all the money away when I went out, and I didn't keep any of it." ”

"It's okay, uncle, ten yuan is ten yuan, and that's cheaper than other places." Li Bai said with a smile.

"No, no, no, I haven't asked anyone else for a penny in my life, I'll take it from me first, and then let her give it to me when I come back." The old man said, took out the pocket of his clothes, took out five crumpled pieces of money and handed them to Li Bai.

Li Bai was even more in awe of the old man, and said, "Uncle, don't worry! Although this hairstyle is a little different from what I thought, it does not prevent me from worshipping you, and I will definitely come back in the future, even if you shave ugly. Seeing the old man looking at him in a daze, Li Bai added: "I mean, my face is not worthy of your haircut." (To be continued.) )
