Wang Shufen's house has a very simple outer room.
There was a square table, four chairs, and a cupboard against the north wall. In the very center of the north wall, there was a portrait of the leader.
In the middle of the room, there was an iron stove.
Early spring in Northwest China is chilly, but a fire is burning in the stove.
As soon as she entered the room, Lu Fangfang immediately felt the warmth.
"Miss, please sit wherever you like."
"Da Ya, go to the inner room and find the scissors. Oh, and the mirror too."
Wang Shufen turned around and poured Lu Fangfang a glass of water.
After her daughter took out the scissors, she stroked Lu Fangfang's long braids and asked regretfully, "Little sister, are you really going to cut them? You won't regret it?"
"No regrets, sis, let's go outside to get our hair cut."
Afraid of making a mess in the house, Lu Fangfang took a chair, walked to the yard, and sat down.
Behind her, Wang Shufen carefully cut with scissors.
"Sister, you can shorten it a little more, just below your neck."
Lu Fangfang held a mirror in her hand and asked Wang Shufen to cut her hair into a short bob that reached her neck.
After she finished, she ran her fingers through her hair a few times, feeling quite pleased with herself.
Without her long braid, Lu Fangfang felt much lighter.
"What a pity, girl, you're like a tomboy."
Beside her, Wang Shufen looked at the long braid in her hand, then at her sister's new hair, and felt a mix of emotions.
"Mother~"
"Mother~"
Wang Shufen turned her head and saw that her youngest son and husband had returned, and she was overjoyed.
"Hey kid, slow down, don't fall."
Tie Dan stood in the yard, mouth agape, staring blankly at Lu Fangfang.
Xiao Aiguo noticed his son's unusual behavior. He looked up and froze in place.
After a moment, he looked at his lover with a puzzled expression, "Shufen, what's this?"
"You're confused, isn't this my sister?"
"Your sister? Which sister? Your newly acquired sister? Is she also from our residential compound?"
Xiao Aiguo rubbed his eyes, but still couldn't figure it out.
It's not really his fault; Lu Fangfang has changed so much.
After taking a shower, cutting her braids, and changing into clean clothes, Lu Fangfang was like a completely different person.
Back in the reception room, Xiao Aiguo hadn't paid much attention to Lu Fangfang, so it would be strange if he recognized her.
"Political Commissar Xiao, this is Lu Fangfang," Lu Fangfang said with a smile.
"Lu...Lu Fangfang?"
Xiao Aiguo stared intently at her face, and gradually a memory formed in his mind. "Yes, yes, you are Comrade Lu, who just arrived today. Look at my memory."
"But how did you get so pale?"
Xiao Aiguo looked her over, still finding it unbelievable.
Comrade Lu, who was in the reception room in the morning, was dirty and disheveled, looking exactly like a refugee fleeing famine.
Comrade Lu is quite different now; he's just like a city dweller.
"Honey, what nonsense are you talking about? My sister has always been fair-skinned."
Wang Shufen glared at him.
Xiao Aiguo realized what was happening and felt extremely embarrassed.
It's inappropriate for a grown man like him to say this to an unmarried woman.
He picked up his son and carried him into the house, saying, "You two talk, you two talk."
"Girl, don't worry about it."
Lu Fangfang shook her head, not caring.
Seeing that it was getting late, she didn't want to disturb the family reunion, so she said, "Sister Shufen, thank you for your help today. I'll head back now."
After saying that, she turned to leave.
"Girl, your braid, your braid."
Wang Shufen quickened her pace and handed over the braid in her hand.
She just found a thin string and tied the cut-off braid back together; now it looks very neat.
Such a long braid could be sold for some money at the commune's purchasing point; it shouldn't be wasted.
