After 1 o'clock in the afternoon, the minibus entered Heping Road in Long'an Town, and passengers kept getting off along the way.

On both sides of the highway, there is a long small western-style building, mostly two or three floors, and the high one has four floors.

These small western-style buildings are all planned by the government to let the people who get rich first build their own street houses.

It was only two or three years before a new street was formed.

The government first expropriated the land on both sides of the highway, and then sold the land, and each household collected tens of thousands of yuan.

This kind of rough land finance, which was common in rural towns and villages in this era, gave rise to a large number of small property rights.

The minibus passed through the intersection and turned into Jiefang Street in the center of the town.

On both sides of the street, there are health centers, primary schools, supply and marketing cooperatives, credit cooperatives, veterinary stations, agricultural technology stations, and grain stations......

In addition to these units, most of these old streets and alleys are low-rise old houses with green tiles, and many of them are houses left over from the Republic of China era.

Today is the market day of Long'an Town every 147.

Now it is the spring double rush season in the countryside to grab the harvest and seeds, and there are not many people setting up stalls on the streets, and most of the stalls are closed at this time.

Later, the Long'an Town Government Compound in the middle of Jianshe Street arrived, which was the terminal of the shuttle.

Ma Xiaofei jumped out of the car and walked towards a barber shop called [Chunyan Hairdressing] next to the guest house across the street.

In the barbershop, three teenagers with dyed hair, only sixteen or seventeen years old, stood in a row, their heads down.

Xia Chunyan, the beautiful proprietress who is as beautiful as a flower, crossed her waist with one hand, pointed with one finger, and looked like she hated iron but not steel, and scolded in a coquettish voice:

"Look at the ghost of you hanging Erlang, what are you busy at home now, you are still a wandering god on the street, you are too lazy to do it, and you don't hang five ......."

The girl sitting on the sofa winked at him when she saw Ma Xiaofei standing at the door.

He turned his head to see Xia Chunyan reprimanding the three dyed teenagers, gloating.

The girl's name is Zhao Xiaofang, an apprentice in the store, who only graduated from junior high school last year.

Ma Xiaofei remembered that the three guys who were scolded were all street slickers who had just graduated from junior high school and had followed Ma Sange.

Locals, call such people "two-ball goods".

The yellow-haired leader is named Wu Bo, and the other two orange-haired ones are Ma Xiaojun and Wang Hui.

In Ma Xiaofei's memory, in another two or three years, these three guys will be the ruthless characters of the new generation in Long'an Town.

Ma Xiaofei stood at the door of the store, lit a cigarette, and quickly had an idea in his head.

Xia Chunyan scolded that she was tired, so she took three ten-yuan ones from the drawer and threw them on the coffee table:

"Now, right now, get out of here!"

"Thank you, Sister Yan......"

Wu Bo grabbed the banknote, put it in his trouser pocket, looked up and saw Ma Xiaofei standing at the door, and immediately ran out, smiling:

"Brother Fei, give me a cigarette."

Ma Xiaojun and Wang Hui also followed, their eyes full of anticipation.

Ma Xiaofei glared, but still took out half a box of Tashan cigarettes from his pocket and threw it over.

Wu Bo took the cigarette and said with a smile: "Brother Xiaofei, if you have something, greet us......"

Ma Xiaofei raised his foot and kicked it, but Wu Bo hurriedly dodged with a smile.

Ma Xiaofei beckoned, and Wu Bo came over obediently.

Ma Xiaofei shook his hand and slapped him: "Xiao Wu, listen up, if you are so idle all day long, Lao Tzu will take the yellow wattle strips, and if you see it, you will be pumped to death!" ”

Ma Xiaofei's strength was not heavy, Wu Bo covered half of his face, and said aggrievedly: "Brother Xiaofei, we don't know what we can do." ”

Ma Xiaofei slapped again: "Do you want to learn well, do you want to take the right path?" ”

Wu Bo hurriedly nodded: "Of course I want to, Brother Xiaofei, do you have a way?" ”

"There are many ways to ......"

Ma Xiaofei asked the three of them to roll into the barber shop and shouted:

"You two-ball goods, cut your hair into inches, and then go home and go to the field to help your parents work.

When I am satisfied, I will take you to earn money and make a lot of money.

If you believe me, do as I say.

If you don't believe it, get out of here, don't bother me and Sister Yan in the future......"

Wu Bo and the three of them suddenly looked confused, Ma Xiaofei had never murdered them like this.

After looking at each other for a while, the three of them still sat down obediently and waited to cut their hair.

On the day of the Lantern Festival in 94, Ma Sange and several followers around him were served by the police.

Wu Bo, the young man who had just followed him in Longquan Town, suddenly became a headless fly.

Only Ma Xiaofei can suppress them, Xia Chunyan's scolding actually doesn't work at all.

Xia Chunyan looks very spicy, but in fact, she is soft-hearted, and every time she scolds her, she will still give them money for a pack of cigarettes in the end.

Ma Xiaofei greeted Zhao Xiaofang again: "Xiaofang, you come to cut their hair, just to practice." ”

Xia Chunyan also pursed her lips: "Yes, start with Xiao Wu." ”

Zhao Xiaofang got up with a smile and pressed Wu Bo, who had a painful face, on the swivel chair.

Xia Chunyan came to Ma Xiaofei's side and said with concern: "Xiaofei, have you eaten?" ”

Ma Xiaofei said: "I have eaten in Jinyang. ”

Xia Chunyan began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks on the coffee table, put them in the enamel tray, and prepared to go to Ma Xiaofei's dormitory to clean.

Ma Xiaofei went into the back room, found his tea jar, rinsed it, put half a handful of jasmine tea, and went into the government guest house next door to the barber shop.

The guest house is a two-story building with a restaurant, a tea house, guest rooms, and a bathing room.

In addition to the restaurant, other projects are contracted and operated by Zhang Tianmei, the wife of Zheng Dagui, the director of the Finance Institute.

As soon as Ma Xiaofei walked to the door of the teahouse, Zhang Tianmei, who was lying on a chair and napping, woke up instantly.

As soon as he saw that it was Ma Xiaofei, he smiled and said, "Xiaofei, I didn't go to play cards on the weekend." ”

Ma Xiaofei shook his head and smiled: "I didn't go, my luck has not been good recently." ”

Zhang Tianmei picked up the teapot on the coal stove and added fresh boiling water to Ma Xiaofei.

Ma Xiaofei said thank you, and went over to lift the black cloth curtain at the door of the teahouse.

A pungent smell of dry smoke came to my face.

The teahouse is about 60 square meters and is filled with two rows of benches and long tables, with only a narrow aisle in between.

The teahouse is also a video hall, and the room is full at this time.

Dozens of old and young masters stared intently, staring at a 29-inch large color TV in front of them.

The VCD video that is being played inside, a macho man and beautiful woman action movie in Europe and the United States.

Ma Xiaofei glanced at it, then lowered the curtain and prepared to turn around and leave.

Zhang Tianmei said: "Xiaofei, you haven't watched the film for a few days, come at night, you haven't seen it." ”

Ma Xiaofei smiled: "If you don't look at it, you're tired of watching it." ”

Zhang Tianmei was happy: "You young men, how can you get tired of watching it......"

Ma Xiaofei shook his head and walked out of the teahouse.

There are seven or eight streets in Long'an Town, with nearly 7,000 people living on the streets, and there are no less than 10 video halls, one tea and 3 yuan.

Two years ago, when Ma Xiaofei first came to work in Long'an Town, the tea money in the video hall cost 5 yuan.

Today is the market day, Zhang Tianmei's video hall will be open from 10 a.m., close at 3 p.m., and will open again at 8 p.m.

In this very open era, no one cares about action movies in video halls.

Ma Xiaofei has even seen sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls, sitting in the middle of a bunch of gentlemen, if there is no one around, no one will be surprised.

Young couples, two people in their thirties and forties, Ma Xiaofei has seen them all in the video hall.

There are also several karaoke parlors in Long'an Town, and they are also bright in the daytime.

There have even been cases of farmers picking up a load of grain and selling it on the street, taking a flat basket and going to a karaoke hall to try it.

Thinking of these things, Ma Xiaofei suddenly felt that this era was actually very magical......
