A piece of yellow silk cloth was tucked into the collar, and the bib shook and fell around the neck, knotting, even if it was tied.
Combs, scissors, faders, bald heads, flat heads are faster than women's hairstyles.
As far as haircuts are concerned, an average of five minutes a person.
Hands up and down, the mess is no longer there, only a spirit of old men and women. Perming and dyeing hair gives the elderly the right to love beauty. Exquisite craftsmanship and absolutely affordable prices have made the old customers of the East District and Xingyang come from thousands of miles.
Opposite Zhengshang Road Elementary School, in the textile factory family courtyard, the first bungalow on the right hand side of the entrance is a barbershop. Of course, you can know all this at the entrance of the hospital. The blue sign on the window and the sign after entering the door read "Haircut Sanyuan".
The owner of this "sanyuan barber" shop is called Hou Chunyun, who is 67 years old this year. In the more than thirty years since she started her haircut in her twenties, the price of three dollars has not changed. There are also perms and hair dyes in the shop, which are 25 yuan and 15 yuan respectively.
Old-fashioned perms, have you ever seen them?
Grandma Hou has two sons, both of whom now work outside, and she lives alone in the bungalow.
"As long as you have two hands, you can work and you can earn money." I can earn money myself, why should I ask for it, earn more and earn less, enough for me to eat. ”
The house pays a symbolic 15 yuan "rent" every month, the people's water and electricity, the cost is not high, basically all the income is net profit. No cost, Grandma Hou felt very relaxed, and she could often meet and chat with old neighbors and customers, just to relieve the boredom.
"I grew up poor, and only by working on my own can I get rich, go to school, eat and live. That's what it's always been. ”
Grandma Hou had nine brothers and sisters in her family, and when she was a child, she was the only one who was willing to follow her father to collect dung and firewood, until she had picked up everything she could pick up in front of her.
The word "bitter" could not be heard in Grandma Hou's mouth, nor could it be seen on her face.
"I got married, and my life was very hard, when my eldest son was sick with a fever and went to the clinic to see a doctor, and I couldn't get out of the fifty cents. So I know how hard it is for them, and if I have a pension, it's free all in! ”
Serving the low-income people in Zhengzhou is a sentence that Grandma Hou hangs on her lips. Once, two workers from a nearby construction site came to her to cut their hair, and they kept talking about low incomes and the poor payment of wages at the site. Grandma Hou advised them even more bitterly that if they went home now, then there would be no penny, and the money for the children in the New Year could not be taken out, so it was better to do it here first, which was better than going home to play mahjong. After that, the two workers cut their hair here for three months until the New Year.

Three dollars for haircuts, one dollar is her hard work, one dollar is her kindness and warmth, and one dollar is her open-mindedness.
