Hua Shi had been paying attention to Hua Xiao's emotional changes. After she stood up and walked away, her mood obviously eased up, her brows relaxed, and he also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she hardened her heart and cut it, she still carefully observed Hua Xiao's mood changes. Whenever her expression broke down and she showed extreme resistance, Hua Shi could respond quickly.

Fortunately, Hua Xiao wasn't that stubborn...

"Hua Li, it's your turn."

After Hua Shi poured out the dirty water from the wooden basin and filled it up again, he turned to look at Hua Li who was huddled in the corner under the eaves, and waved and called out.

When Hua Li heard his name being called, his expression became a little stiff. He gritted his teeth and walked over with heavy steps as if ready to die.

Flower Time: ...

It's not like I'm going into battle to kill the enemy and never come back, so why is there this expression...

When Hua Li slowly sat down, Hua Shi looked at his thick hair and fell into deep thought.

"Hua Li, how about I give you a buzz cut?"

Hua Shi paused, raised her hand to comb his messy hair, and said.

The length of this hair is comparable to Hua Xiao's.

Perhaps it is because of the times, but people in this place at this time, regardless of gender, age or status, all have long hair.

Children around seven or eight years old would tie their hair into two small round buns, and most girls would tie their hair into two small braids. Teenagers around ten would tie their hair into a crown, and young girls would comb their hair into a bun or tie it with a headband. Many married women would wrap most of their hair in cloth and let it hang down. Older women would wrap all their hair in cloth and wrap it carefully...

Of course, this is not always the case. For example, Mrs. Li, who is over fifty years old and has gray hair, still likes to wear her hair in a bun and fix her hair with a wooden or silver hairpin. She does not wrap up all her hair like other old women in the village.

Hua Li listened to what Hua Shi said, thought for a while, and then hesitantly asked: "What is a buzz cut...?"

He had never heard of this word...

Hua Shi explained, "It means cutting your hair very short, leaving only a little bit of the roots sticking out."

When Hua Li heard this, he started shaking his head without thinking.

"No?" Hua Shi's voice was slightly deep, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

Hua Li's shaking of the head froze.

Because he was sitting there surrounded by flowers, he even felt like he had a thorn in his back. He couldn't nod or shake his head.

"Are you sure you don't want it?" Hua Shi asked again.

Hua Li said stiffly: "I, I'm not sure..."

Hua Shi was almost amused by his words. He coughed lightly and said in a low voice, "A real man can bend and stretch. He just cut his hair short, don't you think?"

After all, Hua Shi has pure modern thinking. He doesn't like the idea that one's hair and skin are inherited from one's parents. Especially since Hua Li is still a little boy of seven or eight years old, if he cuts his hair short, it will grow back in three or two months.

Just give your hair a buzz cut, rub it with water a few times, and two or three times you can eradicate the lice and fleas completely and clean them thoroughly.

So, when Hua Shi saw that Hua Li was not as resistant as Hua Xiao to cutting his hair short, he thought of just giving him a buzz cut.

Hua Li lowered his head and dared not speak.

But I am silently resisting...

Hua Shi paused, then decided to give him what he wanted, and continued, "If you agree to let me give you a buzz cut, I'll let Xiao Bai sleep with you for three nights. How about that?"

Hua Li's expression froze, and he turned back to look at her with a serious expression, his eyes bright. "Really?"

Under his piercing gaze, Hua Shi nodded affirmatively: "A gentleman's word is as good as gold."

Hua Li shook her teeth and said, "Five nights and I'll agree!"

After knowing that he couldn't escape, this clever guy also knew how to seek more benefits for himself...

"You're still bargaining." Hua Shi was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. "Okay, five nights. Don't cry after I'm done."

"I won't cry!"

Hua Li retorted unconvincedly, but there was a smug look on his face.

You know, although he loves small animals very much, he is not liked by small animals...

Every time Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai saw him, they would hide away from him, and he couldn't even touch them...

But Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai both listen to Hua Shi very much. As long as Hua Shi agrees, Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai will let him touch them obediently. How annoying.

When Hua Shi saw that he was in a good mood, she knew she had made the right choice.

Although I don't know why kittens and puppies have such a fatal attraction to Hua Li, it works...

After the two reached an agreement, Hua Li cooperated with her actions. Hua Shi also skipped the act of picking lice and cut off all the messy hair in a few seconds, leaving only a short stubble that was a bit prickly to the touch.

Hua Shi washed and scrubbed him again with warm water, then wiped him with a cloth and said, "Okay, go call your second brother and Xiaoying."

Hua Li covered her head with the cloth, then stood up and looked at the quiet hall. She said, "Second brother is not at home. He left early this morning."

Hua Xiao, who was sitting on a stool under the eaves, had already wiped her hair half dry. After calming down, she no longer found it unacceptable to have her hair cut short.

After hearing what Hua Shi said, she said, "I'll go get Xiaoying out."

Having said that, he went into the house.

When Hua Li saw her running away, he stopped following her and looked at Hua Shi. Suddenly, he thought of something and lowered his voice and said to Hua Shi:

"I'm telling you, Dad also went out early this morning. Do you know why?"
