Chapter 2 Start from the beginning

Ma Haitao opened the door and took a deep breath, in the autumn of 1962, the air in Sijiu City was fresh and fragrant, the national industry had just started, the pollution was not serious, and the air quality was indeed very good.

He now lives in an old house left by his parents, in a courtyard at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang, in the inverted house in the front yard, there are two rooms in total, except for this one, next door is the stove room.

"Yo, man, get up so early?"

He Yuzhu?

Ma Haitao finally knew why he was so familiar, it turned out that he had returned not only to this fiery era, but also to live in a courtyard where birds and beasts gathered.

"Silly Zhu, when will I be able to eat your wine?"

He Yuzhu casually greeted, he never thought that this ruthless man would answer his words, and he was so heartbroken, hey: "Look down on your brother, right?" I'll bring a daughter-in-law back for you to see. ”

"Just talking about not practicing fake tricks, it can't be that you plan to pull an old girl out of the half-hidden door, right?"

Half-closed door is the common name for secret prostitution in Sijiu City, to put it bluntly, in order to provide convenience for guests, deliberately open and half-cover the door of the house, so that it is more convenient to enter and exit the movement will be smaller.

"you, the dog can't spit ivory out of his mouth." As he spoke, He Yuzhu handed over a cigarette, "It's rare to see you once, how are you doing?" ”

After Ma Haitao took it, he took a sip with his hand, "It's still like that, foolish, it's not as good as your iron rice bowl." ”

"Hey, if Uncle Ma was still here, he wouldn't be like this now," He Yuzhu spat out a smoke ring, "I didn't think about going over to find a full-time businessman?" ”

Ma Haitao: "It's quite serious now." ”

It's a joke, of course......

In these years, the people who are messing around the streets are either local ruffians or stubborn Buddhas, or the old and young people in Sijiu City. But no matter what kind of people they are, they will be washed away by the big waves and sand, and sooner or later.

But what to do in the future...... He hasn't planned it yet, so let's get familiar with it for a while.

"Pull it down, just the name of your third master Ma can scare people to death." He Yuzhu shouted a high voice in his voice, as if he was afraid that others would not know that he could talk to a ruthless person.

Ma Haitao smiled, the reputation of the original body is indeed not good, especially in this courtyard. In the past, when the old horse was there, he was better, but since the old horse is gone, he has become a loner, and has always been alone.

At this time, a voice came from the courtyard, "Silly Zhu, who are you talking to?" Your voice can be heard from afar. ”

"Yo, Sister Qin is here?"

Ma Haitao heard the sound and looked, only to see a plump woman walking over, her face was mellow, a pair of big watery eyes were smiling, her upper body was a blue overalls, and a pair of black pants were underneath.

Surname Qin...... Then this should be the little widow Qin Huairu, this figure is really attractive.

"This is ...... Haitao, right? ”

Ma Haitao nodded quietly, "That's it, stupid pillar, don't delay you to contribute to the motherland." ”

"Well, let's talk about it when we have time."

"Okay."

As he spoke, Ma Haitao walked out of the courtyard first, leaving the two of them to whisper.

Just walked through, it doesn't matter if you talk to Silly Zhu for a few words, he doesn't have many eyes, so what to say. But Qin Huairu is different, this woman is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and it will be difficult to resist if she misses a sentence.

"Silly Zhu, why did you talk to him?"

"What's the matter, sister, did he recruit you?"

Qin Huairu glanced at him, "You're looking forward to me, don't you know who he is?" ”

Silly Zhu was stunned and said: "Growing up from a young age, his human nature is a little ruthless, but he still ...... Don't dare yet! ”

"He doesn't dare? I've heard that he's all ganged up on the streets, so why wouldn't he dare? Qin Huairu pinched him and reminded: "Maybe one day he will be pulled in to shoot a target, you can stay away from him." ”

"Got it, my good sister, listen to you, right? Don't do it. ”

"It's good to really listen to my sister, what can my sister do to you?"

"That's ...... for sure."

Ma Haitao didn't care about what the two of them were talking about him behind his back, he really couldn't stand the smell on his body, he went directly to the public bath at the mouth of the alley to clean it well, and asked the master to rub the old mud on his body clean, and then he came out refreshed.

At this time, the price of goods is extremely low, and it only costs two cents to take a bath, including one cent to rub the back.

Ma Haitao followed his memory and went straight to the commune barber shop in Xinjiekou, since he decided to start from scratch, let's go for a haircut first, and take a walk by the way.

Xinjiekou is separated from the Houhai Sea in Nanluoguxiang, and the distance is not close, but it is not far away. It's just that he hasn't gotten a bicycle in front of him, so he has to go on his legs.

I wanted to experience the bus, but looking at the swaying bus crowded with 100 people, I still forgot it.

The surroundings are not shabby, nor are they as old as the black-and-white photographs seen in previous lives. The road is quite neat, and the surface of the building is neat, but it is a little shorter, and only the old site of Prince Gong's Mansion still looks like it.

At the same time, this era is in the alternation of the old and the new, and along the way, you can see trams, high-rise houses, old city walls and sharp buildings.

It's just that these arrow towers, city walls, and old mansions left over from the old era are slowly being demolished, rebuilt, or rebuilt. In particular, after the 10th anniversary celebration of Chang'an Avenue, it was built wide and tidy.

Along the way, people come and go with smiles on their faces, and it can be seen that they are full of hope for the future.

It's just that after cleaning it once, Ma Haitao's whole person looks much cleaner, although the clothes on his body are some sewn and mended, but in this era of scarce fabrics, everyone is almost the same, and most people can't change a piece of clothing in a year.

With his excellent appearance and tall and straight figure, he has a taste of standing out from the crowd. It's normal to attract the attention of those big girls and little daughters-in-law.

"This is a pretty high return rate......

Turning into the intersection of Xinjiekou, it is the commune barber shop, and after Ma Haitao walked in, he looked at it casually. It was still noon, and there weren't many people.

In the shop, a few barbers in white coats are busy, and most of the customers are young girls, perming and curling their hair.

"Cut your hair!"

"Third master, how do you want to clean it up?"

"Look at the whole, the spirit is pointed, but not too short."

Ma Haitao's handsome face is good with any hairstyle, but the round and short hair is almost meaningless.

"Gotcha." The master got busy with the tools, and when he touched the back of his head, he was surprised: "You have such a big bag on your head, how did you get it?" ”

"I accidentally fell."

Ma Haitao replied lightly, taking advantage of the haircut, he carefully recalled the suspecting targets, thinking about how to find them later, and then figure out which bastard did it last night.

"Then you have to be careful, it's not easy to fall on the head."

"Hmm."

As the old saying goes, starting all over again means saying goodbye to the past and starting anew. After cutting his hair, Ma Haitao was relaxed physically and mentally, and he looked like a person from the inside out.

"Travel lightly to do things better......"
