Haircut
Time flies, and as Xu Hongqi's right hand has completely recovered, this summer vacation has come to an end.
Nothing else important happened during this period. If she had to say something, it was that Xu Fengcheng hid and talked secretly with Xu Hongqi every time he came back. In her opinion, the expressions of the two after the conversation always revealed a bit of sinisterness.
Xu Nian was afraid that Xu Fengcheng, who had gotten by, would lead Xu Hongqi astray, so he always dragged Xu Fengkai over to study. Fortunately, hard work paid off and the results were good. The three of them gained something from their studies.
Under Xu Nianjue's special "care", Xu Hongqi's whole personality was changing for the better. He was especially friendly and generous to her, always sending her to buy delicious food. The two of them secretly ate tonic food and both grew taller and fatter.
What Xu Nian didn't know was that this was exactly how Xu Hongqi controlled her. Since he lived here and had said that he would tutor Xu Nian well, he naturally had to do a good job.
He originally thought that teaching Xu Nian to study would not be difficult, but he never expected that he would have to spend money in addition to manpower. This girl is too greedy, and if he doesn't satisfy her, she will always have a lot of whining and crooked ideas about studying.
Look, there are still three days before school starts, and she can't sit still on the bench. Even eating can't tempt her. I don't know where she has gone to play.
No matter how scheming Xu Hongqi was, he couldn't help but sigh occasionally when he saw Xu Nian. Now, it was hard to tell who was manipulating whom...
Actually, Xu Nian didn’t go anywhere. She was just at Yan Zi’s house next door. She was a young girl in her prime and needed friends, right?
"Niannian, look at the schoolbag my mother made for me." Xu Yan was happily showing her new schoolbag to her good sister.
Seeing her like this, Xu Nian remembered that he didn't have a schoolbag yet. Then he thought of Xu Hongqi and guessed that he didn't have one either. However, it seemed unrealistic to ask his family to make one for him. Fabric was scarce in those days and not enough to make clothes, let alone a schoolbag.
Xu Nian sincerely praised the beautiful backpack, but asked her sister with some doubt, "Your mother made the backpack out of cloth, didn't your sister-in-law tease you?"
Xu Yan glanced at Xu Nian with pride, then leaned closer and whispered, "To tell you the truth, this schoolbag was made by a relative of my sister-in-law's family, and I paid for it."
Xu Nian thought to himself that it was no wonder, and sighed at the complicated interpersonal relationships. He said enviously: "That's great, I want a new schoolbag too." After saying that, he carefully touched Yanzi's schoolbag, and the stitching was really dense!
If Xu Yan wasn't a good sister, seeing that Xu Nian really wanted it, she would quietly ask her, "Do you have any extra money? If you have enough, I'll ask for it for you. It should be in time before school starts."
Xu Nian was delighted after hearing this, and then she counted the remaining money in her hand. It wasn't much, only about three yuan, some of which Xu Hongqi returned to her, and some of which was given to her by Xu Sange.
Xu Yan nodded enviously after hearing this, "That's definitely enough."
But then he changed the subject and leaned over to Xu Nian's ear and said, "You can't tell anyone else. My sister-in-law's relative is still working. Private transactions are not allowed now. She did it secretly because she wanted to marry for glory."
Xu Nian understood immediately and nodded firmly, then said dishonestly: "Yanzi, let's give the newcomer a helping hand!"
Xu Yan was puzzled, "What do you mean?"
Xu Nian said shamelessly: "Why don't you ask her to make two for me!"
Xu Yan: "..., you are really good!"
Xu Nian knew she agreed at a glance, so he hugged her and pushed her around, laughing twice, and then said, "I don't want a crossbody, let her make me a double back."
Xu Yan had never seen a double back, and was afraid that the person wouldn't know how to do it, so she hesitated and said, "Then how do we do it? What if I don't know how to do it?"
Xu Nian thought about it, it seems that it is rare to see double backpacks nowadays. Most students wear cross-body bags. Some naughty ones even put the bag strings on their heads and shake them. It’s very... interesting, right?
However, Xu Nian had heard in her previous life that carrying a cross-body bag could easily cause one's shoulders to be uneven, especially since she was still growing. She couldn't imagine how "beautiful" that picture would be.
Xu Nian thought for a moment and said, "How about I draw a picture for her?"
Xu Yan thought it was too much trouble. "Do you really have to have a double-back? Crossbody is more fashionable."
"Cross-body wear can easily cause uneven shoulders."
"What does that mean? I don't understand!"
Xu Nian told her what he knew. After hearing that, Xu Yan also wanted to change it. She also loved beauty, but she had no money and was reluctant to part with her new schoolbag, so she was very sad.
Seeing his friend like this, Xu Nian said, "Yanzi, I heard that too. You see, it's okay for our students to carry it on their backs. At most, you can carry it on your right shoulder today and your left shoulder tomorrow."
"You can change it later when you have money or get into a technical secondary school."
Xu Nian was comforted by the thought of being admitted to a technical secondary school in the future. This was her biggest dream, and it was okay to just think about it.
Feeling relieved, he pulled Xu Nian into the house, took out a pen and paper, and said, "Draw it!"
Xu Nian took it and coaxed the other person, "Yanzi, wait until I finish painting, I will design a new hairstyle for you. I guarantee that you will have a new look for the new semester."
Xu Yan is still looking forward to this. She knows Xu Nian loves to dress up and show off. In short, she is of high standard!
Xu Nian had learned to paint in his previous life. Although he was not very good at it, he quickly drew a relatively modern and simple double-back backpack and asked one boy and one girl to use it.
Xu Yan, who took the design drawing, was amazed at how well Nian Nian drew and praised her a lot, but when she thought that she couldn't have it, she felt envious and regretful.
But she still folded it carefully and put it in her new schoolbag, waiting to give it to her sister-in-law.
After Xu Nian came, she was the only friend she could still play with. Naturally, she didn't want to see her good friend lonely, so she diverted her attention and told her how to design her hairstyle.
All the melancholy disappeared after this discussion, and both of them were looking forward to it!
Xu Yan's face shape is quite similar to her father's, both have the square and round faces that are very common nowadays. Anyone who has experienced the baptism of modern makeup knows that this kind of face shape is suitable for S-shaped bangs.
Besides, Xu Yan's hairline is quite low, she would look better after cutting it.
After she finished speaking to Xu Yan, she quickly ran into the main hall of her home and took out a pair of scissors. "Niannian, be careful with them. This is the only pair we have at home, and my mom said it's bad if you drop it on the ground."
After listening to what the person said, Xu Nian carefully took the scissors in his hand and looked at them carefully. Hmm..., it can be seen that the owner takes good care of them. Although they are a bit old, they still look sharp. It can be seen that they are well maintained, better than his own. The last time he used his own scissors to cut his toenails, it was so difficult that he almost cut his flesh.
This era is still too poor!
But it will definitely undergo a complete overhaul within 20 years.
Now, she could only hold it carefully and promised, "Don't worry, I'll make sure I hold it tightly." After that, she pulled Xu Yan to sit on the stool.
Xu Yan was quite nervous. She asked Xu Nian to cut her hair for another reason. Nian Nian said that she would not move the long ponytail at the back and would only cut the bangs.
As for Xu Nian, although she talked about flowers, she actually only had theoretical knowledge. When she was asked to start cutting them, she was a little afraid of cutting them badly. Yan Zi blamed her.
After all, people often say that out of ten people who enter a barber shop smiling, nine leave crying.
She held Xu Yan's face and studied it for a while, and found that Xu Yan's temples were a little sunken. She had originally thought of cutting a thin layer to cover it to make it look neat and refreshing, but now it seems that she needs to add a thicker layer.
After looking for most of the day, Xu Yan was about to urge someone else to do it, so Xu Nian finally started to use the knife. At first, he didn't dare to cut too much, and just cut and trimmed it bit by bit like a snail.
It was afternoon now. Although it was almost September, the sun was still a bit scorching. Xu Nian was also a little nervous, so the broken hair on his head stuck to his face.
Xu Yan didn't dare to move on the stool, but her eyes were moving around flexibly. When she got tired of moving around, she looked at Xu Nian. Then she found that her good sister had secretly become whiter and taller without her knowing. Well..., it seemed that her breasts had also become a little bigger, which made her blush.
But since we were all women, it was no big deal. Then he glanced up at Xu Nian and found that Xu Nian was really hot, with messy hair all over his face, but it was not long, and looked more like it was newly grown.
"Niannian, how about I fan you? You look so hot."
Just as she was about to move, Xu Nian steady her head. "Don't move! If you cut it badly, even if you cry, I can't compensate you."
These words were so powerful that Xu Yan never spoke again for the rest of the conversation. Even her movements were so slight that they were negligible.
"alright!"
Xu Nian felt her hands were almost as stiff as chicken claws. She held Xu Yan's face and shook it back and forth. "Not bad, not bad. I can open a barber shop too."
Xu Yan's face instantly lit up with smiles, "Really?"
"How could I lie to you!"
Although she was tired, Xu Nian was really proud. Look at her skillful hands, she had transformed the girl into such a beautiful one. She decided that if she couldn't make a living in the future, she would make a fortune by cutting hair after the reform and opening up.
Seeing Yanzi still asking, she thought that her sister-in-law seemed to be the only one who had a mirror. She was probably embarrassed to go to her sister-in-law's room to get one, so she said to her sister-in-law, "Don't ask anymore. Wait, I'll go home and get you a mirror."
Xu Nian patted his hair and ran to the next room, coming and going as quickly as the wind. This is what Xu Hongqi saw.
After Xu Nian came back, he went to his room, picked up something red and ran out again.
Xu Hongqi stared out the window and let the words drift out. "Xu Nian, you still have three big questions to finish today."
When Xu Nian ran out, she felt guilty for a moment. Xu Hongqi was keeping a close eye on her homework. She thought that she would come back immediately after Xu Yan finished reading it, so she hummed twice.
Xu Hongqi was silent for a moment, thinking that she knew what was going on, so he stopped caring.
But he didn't expect that when Xu Nian returned home, it would be two hours later, and he came back very different. If he wasn't familiar with his clothes, he wouldn't have recognized him.
"Xu Nian,... did you cut your hair?
The long hair that used to reach the waist was cut into a short hair that reaches the neck. The hairstyle that used to show off the full forehead has become a thin and choppy bangs. Should it be bangs? Anyway, it looks like it.
At this time, Xu Nian was still looking at herself in the mirror admiringly. She looked very beautiful and pure, completely in line with everyone's imagination of a younger sister.
Xu Hongqi was so engrossed in looking at the photos that he coughed twice. Xu Nian suddenly raised his head and saw that Xu Hongqi had already walked into the yard.
Maybe it was because he felt guilty for not completing his study assignments today, or maybe he wanted to show off his new hairstyle, but Xu Nian acted deliberately and excitedly.
"Brother Hongqi, does my new hairstyle look good?"
"Hahaha, I'm going to get my hair cut. School is about to start!"
"My hair used to be of poor quality and it couldn't absorb nutrients, so I wanted to nourish it and start growing it again."
“…”
"Why are you out? Are you tired from studying? You could take a break!"
The more Xu Nian spoke, the lower his voice became. Why didn't this person speak? Why was he so unpleasant? He couldn't help but pout and said dejectedly, "I'll go do the questions now."
Xu Hongqi watched her take a few steps into the house before speaking, "Xu Nian."
Xu Nian turned around and said, "Yeah."
"I was just admiring it. It's a nice cut. It looks really nice. You're pretty good too."
Xu Nian instantly perked up, "Right, I was going to come back after taking a look in the mirror for Yan Zi, but my sister looked good and I found myself looking like a crazy woman, so we discussed and decided to design a hairstyle for me that would nourish my hair and look good at the same time."
Feeling that he had said too much, he said embarrassedly: "You have good taste."
Although Xu Hongqi thought it was very good, it was more of a way to coax her so that Xu Nian wouldn't be silent again. He was now very accustomed to her chattering, which was good and not lonely.
But I didn't expect that this girl was the best at taking advantage of others. "Let me cut your hair too. Your hair is so long. The teacher will definitely say it's not neat at school. You don't look like a student."
Xu Hongqi had thought about getting a haircut before school started, but he certainly didn't think it would be Xu Nian. He frowned and was about to refuse, but Xu Nian was quicker. He handed the mirror in his hand to Xu Hongqi, said "I'm going to borrow a pair of scissors", and ran out again.
