A heavy rain only kept Haizhou cool for half a day, and the weather was as hot as a dog the next day.
Li Mu's parents took the commuter bus to work after breakfast. After his parents left, the phone calls at Li Mu's house had not stopped since nine o'clock, and all the calls were from his classmates.
Some people called to ask how they performed in the college entrance examination; others were not sure about some questions in the science test paper and couldn't wait to estimate their scores the day after tomorrow, so they called Li Mu to confirm; there were also people who were in high school and asked themselves to spend the night at an Internet cafe.
The iron name is Zhao Kang, and he is Li Mu’s childhood friend. He lives in a community with Li Mu. Almost everyone in this community is a worker in the Xiling Coal Mine. Zhao Kang’s parents are no exception. The two of them have been playing together since they wore crotchless pants. The children are in the same class at school. Although they are in different classes in junior high school and high school, they have always been in the same school. They have been very close to each other since they were teenagers.
However, Zhao Kang did not perform well in the college entrance examination this year. He thought he could pass the undergraduate level, but he did not expect to be nearly 20 points short. He originally wanted to go to a junior college of his second choice, but his parents were always proud. Ao, he forced Zhao Kang to study for one year. During the year he repeated his studies, Zhao Kang became more and more rebellious. In the second half of the semester, he had a big quarrel with his family and ran away from home.
Li Mu, who was in college at the time, tried to contact Zhao Kang many times, but this kid had a bad temper. Not to mention Li Mu, even his parents couldn't contact him. However, every New Year in the future, he would receive a safe report from him. phone number.
Every New Year after that, there would always be a phone call from somewhere in the country to Li Mu. The place would change frequently, but the other party would only say six words each time: Happy New Year, brother.
Then, without waiting for Li Mu to respond, the call would be hung up. When he went back, either no one would answer, or the owner of the public phone booth would answer.
Li Mu knew that the caller was Zhao Kang. He had continued this habit for more than ten years, but he didn't know anything about his life for more than ten years. He didn't know whether his life was good or bad, whether he was happy or not.
Thinking of him, Li Mu couldn't help but sigh.
The original intention of Zhao Kang's call was to ask Li Mu to find a good excuse to go to the Internet cafe at night, but Li Mu's mind was filled with the popular game "Stone Age", so he asked: "Have your parents gone to work? If so, Now, let’s have dinner together at noon, and then go to the Internet cafe after dinner.”
"Okay, let's go eat KFC for lunch. I'll treat you."
At the beginning of 2001, the first KFC opened in Haizhou. The business was so booming that future generations could not imagine. People queuing up to buy food often lined up outside the store or even on the side of the road. Although after half a year, the popularity has dropped significantly. There are fewer, but KFC is still a fashionable thing among young people.
Li Mu couldn't help but persuade him: "Why don't you eat KFC? It's all junk food. You can just find a restaurant to cook some dishes."
"Tch!" Zhao Kang said disdainfully: "KFC's burgers are so delicious. Brother Kang, I can't bear to eat them even once a month. Are you still disgusted by inviting you to eat them?"
Li Mu no longer insisted: "Okay, then KFC, twelve o'clock?"
"Okay, I'll go to your house to find you later."
As soon as he hung up Zhao Kang's phone, the landline rang again.
"Hello."
"Li Mu?"
It was a female voice with a very beautiful voice.
"Sister Wan?"
"What a sharp ear!" Chen Wan said on the phone: "Where is your home exactly? I'll go visit."
Li Mu smiled and said, "My parents are not at home. Is it appropriate for you, a girl, to run to my house?"
"What's inappropriate?" Chen Wan muttered dissatisfied, "You're just a little kid. Isn't it appropriate for me, my sister, to go and see you?"
Little furry kid…
Li Mu used his right thumb to pull open the elastic band of his pants and underwear, looked down, and murmured to himself: "The combat effectiveness was already formed a few years ago."
Li Mu reported his address, and Chen Wan said, "Just wait, I'll ride my bicycle there."
"Don't drive anymore?" Li Mu said with ridicule.
"Have fun, wait for me at home!"
After giving the address, Li Mu opened the front door of his house. The community where his house is located is all five-story red brick buildings. His house is on the first floor. Since it is the house of his own work unit and no one cares about it, there is a sign surrounding his front door on the first floor. In the small courtyard, three more bungalows were built.
Li Mu's family just put up the courtyard wall, cemented the floor, and built three more rooms last year. It cost nearly 30,000 yuan, but the price-performance ratio is very high. Not only does it have a house and a courtyard, but the space on the roof of the flat roof is also good for drying clothes and quilts. place.
Li Mu found a pure white cotton sweetheart-neck T-shirt on the clothes drying rack. Compared with several other fancy clothes, the only thing Li Mu liked was this simple style.
Since the beauty was coming to visit, Li Mu went to the bathroom to do some work on himself. Looking at his current state of decline in the mirror, Li Mu couldn't get enough of anything.
The main thing is that the student's hairstyle looks like a pothead, which makes the whole person look wilted and a bit effeminate. The most annoying thing is the bunch of black hair on the mouth. It is almost a common feature of adolescents in this era, but their parents don't allow them to shave it. , saying that it will look ugly as it gets thicker and thicker as it is shaved. Little did they know that in a few years, the little girl would be crazy about the uncle with a stubble on his face!
Without saying a word, Li Mu took his father's razor and shaved off all the black hair on his beard. Now it was white and clean, which looked a little more comfortable.
"I'm going to get a haircut."
Li Mu made up his mind and called Chen Wan back and asked her to find him at a barber shop at the entrance of the community. Then he found his savings from three years of high school from his desk, which totaled 580 yuan. Li Mu pocketed 100 yuan. Eight in the pocket, wearing big pants and flip-flops and heading out the door.
Sitting in the barber shop where hair, hair, and haircuts cost five yuan at the door, Li Mu said to the barber with a killer haircut: "Can you please give me a haircut that's not so outrageous?"
Shamat Dahuangmao looked at Li Mu with a surprised look on his face: "Brother, what is a plane head?"
Li Mu was speechless.
Few boys in this era can accurately find the hairstyle that suits them best. They either have a flat head like a helicopter pad, or a pothead like Li Mu. The more fashionable ones have long hair, and follow the hair. It's getting longer and longer, and the color is getting brighter and brighter. If you don't pay attention, it will become a killer.
Li Mu only cut his hairstyle like the airplane head at the suggestion of a girl after he went to college. After cutting it, Li Mu realized that the standard for testing a handsome guy is short hair.
Especially Edison Chen's hairstyle in a certain era. The hair on both sides is as short as a board, and the top is slightly longer in the middle, and then rubbed with hairspray to make it look messy and stand up. Not only is this hairstyle not exaggerated, the key is that all the facial features are exposed. Come, it can especially highlight the edges and corners of male facial features. This hairstyle is not only very energetic, but also cool and handsome in this era. It will not be out of date in 16 years.
The most important thing is that this hairstyle has natural attributes, looks badass, and is very popular with girls.
Although Li Mu is not as good-looking as Edison Chen, he is definitely a handsome guy with temperament.
After listening to Li Mu's explanation, Shamat young man had some sympathy on his face. He seemed to think that Li Mu was old-fashioned and ignorant. He deliberately shook his long hair that covered his eyes and said proudly: "Brother, you Now this kind of pot head is suitable for a hairstyle like mine. I will trim it for you and make a slanted bang. If you keep it for a couple of months, you will definitely be so handsome!"
Li Mu watched him quietly and asked, "If I listen to you, how much will you give me?"
"That's what I'm saying..." Shamat sneered: "I'm doing this for your own good, right? With a hairstyle like this, I'm sure I'll catch any girl in an Internet cafe!"
Li Mu said, "I don't want to go to an Internet cafe to catch girls."
"If you don't go to the Internet cafe, where else can you go!" Shamat was puzzled.
"Go fishing in the university." Li Mu urged teasingly: "Hurry up and cut it as I say. I am from the Xiling Coal Mining Community. Do the local snakes understand? I won't pay you if it doesn't work well!"
Sha Matt looked resentful. Although he knew that Li Mu was joking, he really couldn't afford to offend the children of workers in Xiling Coal Mine. The good guys would always mobilize hundreds of people to fight. Most people really couldn't stand this battle.
Although Shamate has a poor aesthetic point of view, he does have some skills. Under Li Mu's guidance, in ten minutes, an aircraft head began to take shape. After pushing up both sides, Li Mu directed him to use thinning scissors to cut himself off. The slightly longer hair on the top of the head was smashed. After washing and blow-drying, he asked him to bring a bottle of mousse over, spray it a little, and grab it casually with both hands, and a somewhat naughty airplane head was born.
Looking at Li Mu in the mirror, his heart felt like a knife piercing his heart.
My killer look is also full of ruffianism, but it is fundamentally different from the ruffianity of others. He has the ruffianity of a handsome young boy in Hong Kong movies, while he has the aura of... a young and dangerous boy from the countryside at the edge of urban and rural areas. It's just too rich.
Li Mu stood up with satisfaction, took out the money from his pocket, and said, "Do you have any new mousse? Give me a bottle and we'll do the math together."
Shamate was stunned for a moment, then quickly took out a new bottle of mousse and handed it over, saying with some respect: "The haircut is free, but the mousse will give you a purchase price of ten yuan."
Li Mu was dumbfounded. The guy who cut the hair was actually quite interesting and even gave him a free bill. However, he still took out two ten-dollar bills and handed them over and said, "Change."
