The joy of life is everywhere. The key lies in the mentality of the people.
In life, I have also experienced the haircut from 10 to 20 yuan to 180 yuan every time, and even only spend five yuan. I have experienced the haircut on the streets and roadsides.
But, after doing it, it's over.
I really feel moved when I saw this article "Five Yuan Haircut" by Mr. Hu Shizong.
From it, he felt his civilian mentality and ordinary feelings; he also felt his poet's perspective and writer's brushstrokes; he also saw his helping others and kind heart.
What is commendable is that Mr. Hu Shizong carefully observes the characters and scenes, and carefully describes the haircut process and each other's mood. Not only that, we also use a "bad pen tip" to record the live situation, publish ordinary little things in life in the media, reflecting the little things in social life, and allowing people to see through the atmosphere of good people meeting in society.
All of this tells people: The joy of life is everywhere, the key lies in mentality. The civilian mentality is more fun. When you lower your "value" and lower your living standards, you will often get unexpected results. This may not be a pleasure, a satisfaction, and a reward!
Attachment: "5 Yuan Hairdressing Notes"
Hu Shizong
I came out of the community where I lived and wanted to get a haircut.
Originally, there is a master who is well managed by the barber shop on Ningshan Road, so I often go there. After moving to a new address, I went to the nearby barber shop several times. The young man was doing well and charged me 39 yuan each time. He said this was the test price, and if you want to apply for a card, it would be 50 yuan each time. I didn't want to apply for a card, nor did I want to continue to "expert" at his house, so I wanted to find a new barber shop to check out.
As soon as he was discharged from the hospital, he met someone looking at me with his eyes and he followed me to see. Does he know me? Is it an acquaintance of mine? At this time, he took the initiative to talk, "Just get a haircut!" I looked at him, with the appearance of a farmer, his face and hands were black and oily, and his eyes were shiny. There was a sign on the ground beside him, which read: "5 yuan for haircut".
I have seen multiple haircuts on the roadside, and they are all on both sides of the morning market, and they are all 5 yuan. There are also many people visiting, sometimes in line. I looked at the master who looked like a farmer, and he stared at me kindly and persistently. Needless to say, we are destined to be, so I resolutely agreed to let him take care of me.
He led me to the nearby wall. There was plenty of sunshine here, and pedestrians passing by were not passing by. There was a sister-in-law selling mohuas on the opposite side. The smell of a glass cabinet was overflowing. This sister-in-law Mahua is the only bystander to our haircut.
The master put on a haircut scarf on me. He said that it was windy, don’t blow hair into the neck. He protected me quite tightly. He started to use electric faders to handle me. He asked me what I had to ask for. I said I didn’t have much hair anymore, just go up from my temples, so don’t worry. He said he would.
He was originally in Jinzhou . He was in the service industry when he was young. He worked as a haircut, and he has been doing haircuts for decades. He is 67 years old this year. His daughter works in Shenyang and asks her parents to come. She has come here, but she doesn’t live together, each living in her own place. My daughter's child is also grown up, so they don't have to take care of her. He is very worry-free and idle, and he doesn't have too many acquaintances. He remembered that he was just doing his old job, but most of the barber shops were young and they were not employed by their age. He saw someone cutting hair on the street in the morning and night, and he also took out the old electric fastener and made some money for pedestrians to cut their hair in the morning and night.
I took out my phone and saw that he was taking care of my head, and I was very satisfied. I took out 10 yuan from my pocket and gave it to him, not letting him find money to me. He actually chased me for dozens of meters, and forced me to a 5-yuan bill, saying, "This is not OK! When you meet again, let me cut your hair!"
He didn't say "haircut" or "shaving your hair", and said "haircutting", which made me suddenly think that this "haircutting" should be a very professional term, right?
