Chapter 169 The Dragon Raises its Head
On the second day of the second month, the dragon raises its head, so let's drink some wine and have some fun. There was spring thunder the night before yesterday, and the sun is shining today, which is a good omen.
The next morning, several barbers came to the military compound, ringing small bells.
Lin Anan was taken out by Chu Minglan and Chu Mingyu to a place similar to an auditorium in the compound.
There were a lot of people on the street, all of them were neighbors who were going to get their hair cut. When the three of them arrived, there were already quite a few people queuing up.
Chu Minglan pulled Lin Anan to find a seat, "Sister-in-law, we can just queue here, it's free."
Chu Mingyu looked around and finally ran to the next room to queue up. He stood with his friends, chattering and making it very lively.
This time, five barbers came, each with a stool and a pair of scissors, and started cutting people's hair.
Lin Anan was amazed at what she saw. She felt that they were very skilled and fast. The scissors flew in their hands and they could cut a neat hairstyle in a short while.
Lin Anan touched her hair again, hesitated for a long time, and still couldn't bear to cut it.
The hair quality is better than when I first came. Although it is still a little dry and yellow and cannot compare with the shiny black hair of others, the glossiness and smoothness are obviously better.
"Comrade Lin, you're here early!"
Lin Anan looked up and saw Aunt Luo who was queuing in front of her.
"Aunt Luo, what a coincidence."
After what happened yesterday, Aunt Luo became even warmer to Lin Anan.
Seeing her feeling scared when she touched her hair, he smiled and said, "Your hair is the same as my daughter's after giving birth, it's very dry and yellow. It's actually due to lack of nutrition, and you can grow it back.
When are you free? Go to your aunt's house and get some sesame balls. Chew two every morning. After two months, your hair will be black and smooth. "
Lin Anan was a little embarrassed by her enthusiasm, "Thank you, Auntie, but it's not necessary. It's too much trouble."
"Oh, it's no trouble. It's nothing. And my sesame balls are made by myself using the traditional method. They are steamed and dried nine times. They are very fragrant!
Sesame seeds are good for hair, so I added some walnuts, red dates, black beans, etc., ground them into powder, added honey and rolled them into pills. They taste delicious.”
Lin Anan still shook her head. "Aunt, there's really no need. I've had poor health since I was a child, and my hair has always been like this. I guess I have to wait until I'm completely well again."
"You must take good care of yourself during this pregnancy. After you give birth, you must pay special attention to the confinement period. Auntie will tell you some recipes when the time comes. You can eat according to them and I guarantee that you will be plump and white..."
Lin Anan:?
Aunt Luo probably heard other people's nonsense and thought she was pregnant...
Lin Anan was a little dumbfounded. She opened her mouth, not knowing how to respond.
If you deny it outright, you will be destroying your own man.
She couldn't say yes, she wasn't that thick-skinned!
Aunt Luo saw that Lin An'an didn't say anything and thought she was embarrassed. She didn't know what she was thinking, so she sighed and said, "It's hard for a girl who marries far away, especially after giving birth to a baby...
Hey~ Your parents are not around, and Captain Chu’s family doesn’t have an elder to help you. If you have any problems in the future, you can call me aunt. It’s not easy. "
Seeing her emotional fluctuations, Lin Anan nodded and said, "Okay, then I'd like to thank you first."
After a few words, the two of them started chatting and their relationship naturally became much closer.
Aunt Luo's family are all capable. Her husband and son are both in the army, and her only daughter married far away.
This time, she was forced to bring her daughter back by the man's family. She gave birth to four daughters and her in-laws could not accommodate her.
"She was a good person. She looked so good when she got married. But now she is so skinny after being brought back."
So when Aunt Luo saw Lin Anan like this, she easily empathized with her and thought too much. When she thought about her own daughter, she immediately softened her heart.
The line moved forward a lot, and soon it was Aunt Luo's turn to have her hair cut.
She stopped talking, sat on the chair, and said to the barber, "Master, just cut it short for me, so it's easier to manage."
"Okay." The barber picked up the scissors skillfully and started trimming.
Lin Anan looked at Aunt Luo and felt a little touched.
The excessive enthusiasm made her a little overwhelmed, but the sincerity made her feel warm.
After Aunt Luo finished her haircut, it was Chu Minglan's turn.
Chu Minglan has very fine hair, which is black, thick and waist-length.
"Master, please cut it here for me." Chu Minglan pointed to the shoulder position.
Seeing that she really wanted to cut her hair short, Lin Anan didn't say much. She thought it would be easier to manage if it was shorter.
Aunt Luo waited on the side and didn't leave until the two little guys had finished their haircuts. Then she came forward and called out, "Comrade Lin, come home with auntie to get the sesame balls."
"Aunt, it's really not necessary."
"Let's go, our two homes are not far from each other, it's just on the way."
Lin Anan really couldn't refuse, so she had to agree.
I thought that if I took something from someone, I would just give them a gift in return.
Along the way, Chu Minglan and Chu Mingyu jumped around like two happy little birds.
"Sister Lan is really well taken care of by you, unlike my granddaughter..."
Aunt Luo realized that she had said something wrong and quickly stopped talking.
The two houses are indeed not far apart, just a matter of turning a corner.
"Auntie, you made a really beautiful door."
"Right, that flower was painted by my daughter, and the words were also written by her. And the stone sculpture made by her father, it looks pretty good, right?"
"nice."
Aunt Luo opened the door and led Lin Anan and the two children in. The yard they passed by was not big, but it was tidy. The snow had been shoveled clean, and even the ground had been mopped early in the morning.
"Come, go into the living room and warm yourself by the fire. I'll get you some sesame balls."
"Okay, thank you, auntie."
Lin Anan looked around the room. Although the furniture was a bit old, it was all wiped clean. There were some photos on the table, which were family photos.
Aunt Luo in the photo is very young. Next to her is a chubby little girl with a bright smile and bright eyes.
"Who are you?" A cold female voice sounded behind him.
When Lin Anan turned around, she saw a face that was so thin that it was almost unrecognizable...
Chu Minglan also turned around and was startled. She subconsciously hid behind Lin Anan, "Sister-in-law!"
When Chu Mingyu saw his sister hiding, he also hurriedly hid behind Lin Anan.
"It's okay, it's okay. This is Aunt Luo's sister."
Lin Anan looked at the woman in front of her and felt very uncomfortable.
She is too thin, thinner than me...
The whole face seemed to have collapsed, and the eyes looked huge.
Lin Anan tried her best to keep her tone gentle. "Hello, I'm Lin Anan, my neighbor next door. Aunt Luo asked to bring me some sesame balls, so she came over."
Li Lu nodded slightly. "My name is Li Lu. I'm sorry. I look like this... did I scare you?" Her voice was so soft that it seemed like it could be blown away by a gust of wind.
Lin Anan waved her hands quickly, "No, these two kids are ignorant, don't take it to heart."
Li Lu forced a smile, which looked a little stiff on her thin face. "It's okay."
At this time, Aunt Luo came out from the inner room with two jars in her hands. Seeing her daughter coming out, she was slightly startled, "Lulu, why are you out? If you are not feeling well, just lie down for a while. This is An An, the wife of Captain Chu."
"Mom, I'll just come out and get a glass of water."
Aunt Luo handed the jar to Lin Anan, "Comrade Lin, take these sesame pills. Take two every morning. They are very effective. Come back to me for more after you finish them."
"Thank you, auntie."
Lin Anan didn't hesitate to take the jar and said goodbye.
Aunt Luo politely sent the person away.
