Before daybreak, Ma Erhu got up from the kang, put on his shoes and went behind the door, reached into the urine bucket with his feet, and released the urine he had been holding back. After being released, he returned to the kang and turned on the electric light, poked the stove with a chopstick, and warmed half a copper basin of water on the stove. After the water was warm and he washed his face, he looked in the mirror again and shaved cleanly with a razor. After shaving, he found that the hair of the person in the mirror was all white, and he couldn't help but sigh, age is not forgiving, and he was about to turn eighty. Another thought is yes, my son Ma Shan is over sixty, how can he not grow old? After putting away his old face, Ma Erhu took out a Mao suit from the box. Although the gray Mao suit was old, but because he was reluctant to wear it, it still lay flat until now, just like when it was first made.
