Finally, he said, "Mom, he and I have broken up. Don't mention him anymore."
When Chen Dongju heard this, she put down her chopsticks and raised her voice to ask, "Break up? How could you break up when you were getting along so well? Who suggested it?"
Seeing that Gu Baozhu didn't say anything, Chen Dongju understood all of a sudden. She was so angry that tears welled up in her eyes. She reached out and held Gu Baozhu's hand, comforting her:
"Baozhu, it's okay. It's hard to find a three-legged frog, but there are many two-legged men. Mom didn't like Tan Ming in the first place. I only agreed to it reluctantly because he saved you. It's just right that we broke up. My daughter can find a better one by then."
Instead, Gu Yongnian's face was filled with anger. "Tan Ming is such a bastard! If it weren't for you, would he have been able to get into the sugar factory? He broke up with you less than a month after he got in? You're just dumping me after you're done with me, right? What do you think of me as your sister? Tomorrow I'll go to the sugar factory to find Tan Ming and ask him about it!"
Tan Ming was originally an educated youth who went to the countryside to work in the fields. In the first half of the year, Gu Baozhu accidentally fell into the water, and it was thanks to Tan Ming that she was saved.
Not long after that, the two of them started dating. Gu Baozhu was a worker at the sugar factory. Knowing that the sugar factory was recruiting workers, she taught Tan Ming some skills in advance, which enabled Tan Ming to be successfully recruited by the sugar factory.
Gu Hongjun said with a sullen face, "Nonsense! The New Year is almost here. If you beat someone up, you will be in the police station to celebrate the New Year. Not many people knew that your sister was dating him. If you make such a fuss, won't you tell everyone that your sister was dating someone and broke up with him? How can your sister live her life?"
"Cousin, what uncle said makes sense. You can't be so impulsive." Gu Weicheng advised.
I know Gu Yongnian feels sorry for his sister, but this is not the way to go.
Ding Hehua thought of an idea and said, "Doesn't the factory have a social gathering at the end of every year? Calculating the date, it seems to be the day after tomorrow, right? Let Baozhu go as well, and find someone better at the social gathering, and then Tan Ming will regret it to death!"
"Yes, this is a good idea!" Everyone agreed with what Ding Hehua said.
Only Gu Baozhu had no confidence. She showed a self-deprecating expression on her face, shook her head and said, "I think I'd better forget it. Who would like me like this?"
Because of this birthmark, Gu Baozhu had low self-esteem since she was a child. If Tan Ming had not saved her and expressed his feelings to her, she would not have been able to date him. However, not long after Tan Ming started working at the sugar factory, he started dating a friend she met at the factory.
This made her even more pessimistic about relationships, and she thought it would be impossible for her to find a suitable partner.
When Li Xia heard this, she said, "Don't underestimate yourself. You are very beautiful. I thought you were pretty the first time I saw you. You have a likable appearance.
You have big eyes and dimples when you smile. You are definitely a standard beauty. It's just a birthmark. It's not a big deal. You can cover it up with bangs."
Gu Baozhu was shy and happy to hear Li Xia praise her good looks, but she shook her head and said, "Thank you, cousin, but I tried to cut my bangs before to cover the birthmark, but it can't be covered at all."
Li Xia guessed that she had bangs before, but because the birthmark was lower, bangs could not hide it.
She said, "I have a way to block it. If you believe me, let me cut one for you and see if I can give it a try?"
Li Xia is beautiful. The cotton coat she is wearing was designed by herself and made by Mrs. Tao. The style is also very novel and outstanding. It is obvious that she knows how to dress well. Gu Baozhu certainly believes in her aesthetic taste.
So he nodded and said, "Okay, then cousin, please help me cut one."
"Weicheng, please help me get a pair of scissors." Li Xia said to Gu Weicheng.
As soon as Gu Weicheng stood up, Gu Yongnian immediately went to get the scissors: "I'll get it, I'll get it."
Li Xia took the scissors, loosened Gu Baozhu's two shiny braids, then began to separate her hair with a comb, and then started to cut.
She cut Gu Baozhu's hair into side bangs, with the bangs longer on the side near the birthmark, just enough to cover the birthmark.
Li Xia has practiced the technique of cutting bangs. After all, she had suffered at the hands of Tony in the barber shop before. Every time she went to the barber shop with a smile on her face, she wanted to come out crying. From then on, she no longer went to the barber shop. When she needed to cut her bangs, she did it herself. She also looked for various videos on cutting bangs on the Internet, so she was very good at cutting bangs.
After a while, Gu Baozhu's bangs were cut.
When everyone saw her, their eyes lit up immediately. It was just a little bangs, but it felt like Gu Baozhu had become a different person and suddenly became much more beautiful!
"Oh, Xiaoxia, you are so skillful. The bangs are cut so well that they actually cover Baozhu's birthmark." Chen Dongju said in shock.
"That's right. Baozhu is really beautiful when looking at it this way, just like the female star on the calendar." Ding Hehua also said.
When Gu Baozhu heard everyone say this, she quickly ran over to look in the mirror.
When she saw the person in the mirror, she couldn't help but gasp. The bangs cut by her cousin's wife were so beautiful. She had never seen anyone else cut bangs in this style.
Not only did it hide her birthmark, but it also made her face look smaller and her eyes look bigger. She almost couldn't believe that the person in the mirror was herself.
"This...is this really me?" Gu Baozhu murmured.
She had been laughed at by countless people because of this birthmark since she was a child, so she was extremely inferior and had cut her bangs countless times. However, if she wanted to cover the birthmark, the length of the bangs would cover her eyes, and she had to cut very thick bangs, which made her look like a piece of watermelon rind on her head, which made her look even uglier.
"Of course it's you. You are beautiful." Li Xia gave Gu Baozhu an affirmative look.
Ding Hehua said: "Baozhu, it's you. If you go to a social gathering like this, you will surely charm all the gay men. You must go to this social gathering and find someone who is ten or a hundred times better than Tan Ming!"
"Okay, I'll go." Gu Baozhu nodded.
This new hairstyle gave her confidence, and she also wanted to let Tan Ming see that she, Gu Baozhu, was not a bad person and could find a better man!
In order to prepare for Gu Baozhu to attend the social gathering, the Gu family members all came together to talk about dressing up Gu Baozhu.
Chen Dongju took out the red fur coat she wore when she got married: "Baozhu, this coat is a fur coat that I bought when your father and I got married. It cost a lot of money, but it's still very comfortable to wear now. If you wear it to the social gathering, you will definitely attract everyone's attention."
Ding Hehua took out her deadly red lipstick and said with a red face, "Before, the educated youth in the village asked your brother to help buy a lipstick. Your brother just knew there was such a thing for rubbing the lips, so he bought one for me. Baozhu, I'll put it on for you. I guarantee it will look good."
"Aunt, I'll lend you my flower hairband as well. It will look great with it to tie your hair!" Gu Xiaofu gave his exaggerated flower hairband to Gu Baozhu and considerately tied it in Gu Baozhu's hair.
Li Xia looked at Gu Baozhu, who was wearing a bright red leather coat, with her mouth painted like a man-eating monster, and her hair tied up with an exaggerated gauze flower headband.
The corner of his mouth twitched: "..."
This makeup is really shocking. It is not suitable for attending a social gathering, but it is suitable for singing crosstalk or performing a shaman dance.
