Su Lan let go of her hand and said, "Go ahead! Have a good talk with the hairdresser and get a nice hairstyle, not for anyone else, but for yourself."
Lu Zhixia thought that made sense, and called out to Gu Huailin, who was sitting in the room.
"Xiao Linzi, come out!"
Gu Huailin heard his mother calling and immediately ran out, asking, "Why did you call me?"
Lu Zhixia said, "Go back to your room and change your clothes before going out with Mom."
Gu Huailin: "Didn't we finish eating? Are we still going out?"
Lu Zhixia, "Why are you reluctant to leave?"
Gu Huailin obediently nodded and admitted, "We made plans to play pinball this afternoon."
Lu Zhixia said, "Then you'll have to play tomorrow. There's not much time this afternoon."
"Okay! I'll tell Brother Dayong!" Gu Huailin turned around and ran back into the house.
"Brother Dayong, I have to go out this afternoon, so I can't play."
Zhou Yong: "Then we can play again tomorrow."
Gu Huailin added, "Then remember to play with me tomorrow."
Zhou Yong: "Don't worry! We don't have anything to play anyway!"
Lu Zhixia watched the two children interact and found it quite interesting.
Gu Huailin ran out of the house, "Mom, it's all right, I've already finished talking to Brother Dayong."
Lu Zhixia patted the child's head, then said to Su Lan,
"They're gone."
"Go quickly!" Su Lan said.
Lu Zhixia led the child back into the house and took out all the new clothes she had bought earlier.
"Xiao Linzi, pick out your own clothes. Choose one set for yourself."
Gu Huailin looked around, then reached for the clothes on his right and asked, "Mom, can I wear this outfit?"
Lu Zhixia looked at the clothes her son had chosen and thought they suited him quite well. "Okay, you can wear this!"
Gu Huailin was very happy to receive permission, so he took off his clothes, put them back on, and turned around in front of them.
"Is it good-looking?"
"Beautiful!" Lu Zhixia praised without reservation.
Gu Lingxiao chose a red shirt and paired it with jeans. He thought the outfit looked good, so he handed it to Lu Zhixia.
What do you think of this outfit?
"It's alright. I'll try it on!" Lu Zhixia hadn't worn this red shirt before; she just thought it looked pretty good and the price was right, so she bought it.
Gu Lingxiao took his son outside to wait, and the wind blowing against their faces and bodies swept away the heat.
Gu Huailin: "Dad, who are we going to see this afternoon?"
Gu Lingxiao squatted down and looked into his son's eyes, saying, "I'm going to take you to see your grandparents. Remember, no matter what they say, don't take it to heart."
Gu Huailin was a little reluctant to go, so he said softly,
"Dad, do we really have to go?"
Gu Lingxiao said, "When you grow up, you'll realize that some things can't be avoided just because you don't want to face them."
Gu Huailin seemed to understand but not quite. He could tell his father was in a difficult position, and he didn't want to put his father in a difficult position, so he said...
"Okay, I understand. I will do my best."
Gu Lingxiao picked up his son and noticed that the child had gained a lot of weight. He had been thin and frail when he held him before, but now he was noticeably plumper.
Are you happy living here?
"I'm so happy! I look forward to waking up every day so I can play with Brother Dayong and the others. We have so much to talk about every day. I love it here!"
"Are you happy at school?" Gu Lingxiao asked.
Gu Huailin said, "I'm quite happy. Everyone is very kind to me, especially the teacher, who calls me over every time get out of class ends to review the material from before. I feel like I'm catching up soon!"
The door was pushed open, and they both looked over.
Lu Zhixia was wearing a light red shirt, jeans, and canvas shoes. Her hair was tied in a high ponytail, which caught their attention.
Seeing that the father and son were both stunned, Lu Zhixia turned back and looked in the mirror again to make sure there was nothing wrong before coming out to talk to them.
"How is it? Do I look good in this?"
"Yes!" the father and son said in unison.
Su Lan came out of the house and saw Lu Zhixia wearing new clothes; the red clothes made her face look fair.
Wow, you look great in that outfit!
"Sister Lan, do you think it looks good too?" Lu Zhixia asked.
Su Lan looked the person up and down. "Yes! It looks great! This outfit makes you look younger instantly. If you get a perm, you'll be absolutely stylish!"
Lu Zhixia said, "I think that's a good idea too." Then she looked at the father and son and asked, "What do you two think?"
Seeing them nod at the same time was so funny that she was instantly amused.
"Mom, you look so beautiful today! You're the most beautiful woman in the world!" Gu Huailin had a sudden inspiration and used the phrase he had just learned to make a sentence. He felt that his mother perfectly fit the description.
Lu Zhixia was pleased with her son's praise, and looked at Gu Lingxiao, "Isn't red too eye-catching?"
Gu Lingxiao: "No, I think it looks good."
Lu Zhixia said, "Then I'll go out wearing this!"
Su Lan: "Go! Go! This outfit looks great!"
Lu Zhixia turned around and locked the door. Now that she had made a decision, she had to be brave enough to move forward.
They quickly went downstairs, hailed a taxi, and asked the driver to find a relatively large barbershop.
Lu Zhixia entered the hair salon and observed that there were quite a few people with this hairstyle. She saw someone stand up after getting their hair done, and the effect was quite good.
She made a quick decision to eat at that restaurant, and as soon as the man got up and left, she immediately walked towards that seat.
"Wait a minute!" a shout came from behind.
Lu Zhixia turned around and saw that it was indeed a small world; it was the doctor she had argued with at the hospital, and she remembered that her surname was Lin.
