"Isn't this what I should do? Isn't your brother going to be handed over to the country? I'm counting on you, Tongtong, to take care of me in my old age, so I have to be nice to you now!" Jin Yuan joked with a smile on his face, trying to make the child happy.
"Oh, so that's the case. Then I have to get more bonuses and make a lot of money!"
Chatting and laughing, the three of them got in the car and drove home. Even the vast distance couldn't stop the urge to return home. No matter how long the journey, returning home was always a joy.
Wu Jingzhong went to Jin's house as soon as he got off work. He had work to do today and couldn't go to pick up his daughter right away. It was the first time the child left them.
It's been so long, I'm almost getting tired of looking forward to it.
As soon as the sound of a car stopping at the door was heard, the people who stayed at home hurried out to greet it.
"Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Auntie!" Wu Tong called out joyfully as he jumped out of the car. Even if they talked and video chatted frequently, the feeling of meeting in person was different. Even when technology advanced enough to allow for virtual avatars, reality would still be real.
"Finally I'm back!"
"Are you hungry? Are you tired? The meal is ready and the room is cleaned!" At this moment, everyone stood aside and Wu Tong was the real hot commodity.
After taking a shower and changing into loose casual clothes, Wu Tong went downstairs, holding a pair of scissors and calling out, "Dad, can you help me cut my hair?"
After going to Kyoto University, she had been busy all the time, and her hair had grown longer without her noticing. Seeing that the weather was about to get hot, she decided to cut it shorter and thin it out to keep cool.
Wu Tong used to like long hair and had hair that almost reached her waist. Her hair quality was only average, soft and fuzzy.
However, for the past six months, she has been doing morning exercises, which have nourished her body with the Chaoyang Ziqi method. Her qi and blood have been vigorous, and her hair has also benefited, becoming thicker, smoother, and as black as silk, even better than the hair she envied when she filmed shampoo commercials.
Once the hair becomes thick and long, it becomes a burden to take care of. It takes almost an hour to wash and dry my hair, which is really troublesome.
"Bao Niuniu, if you don't blow dry your hair, it will get sick!" Grandma took a dry towel and came over to help Wu Tong wipe her hair again.
"Grandma, I'm already this old. If you keep calling me Baonvuniu, I'll blush enough to boil an egg!" Wu Tong couldn't help but hold his forehead when he heard this somewhat embarrassing nickname.
The dark history of that year was about to reappear before her eyes.
"Oh, Tongtong can blush, hahaha..., isn't this a name you invented when you were a child!" Jin Yuan brought out the cut fruits and vegetables, and couldn't hold back his laughter when he heard the words. The other people in the hall couldn't help but laugh as well.
"Uncle, it's not kind to hit someone without hitting him in the face!" Wu Tong covered her face. At this moment, she really wanted her elders to lose their memory for a while.
As a child, she was very good at cherishing herself. She spoke early and was the little bully in her grandmother's house. The family would affectionately call her Niuniu. She later learned the word "baby" and heard other children call her "baby". So she invented a name for herself, "Baby Niuniu". Because she couldn't speak coherently, it became "Bao Niuniu".
This nickname stayed with her until she was in the third grade of elementary school. Only when she felt ashamed did she change it to Tongtong after some resistance.
"Go away, go away. Can't you see that our Tongtong is embarrassed?" Xu Meifeng smiled and pretended to hit her lover lightly twice, then sent him to the kitchen to fetch things.
"Tongtong, your hair is so good, it would be a pity to cut it!" Xu Meifeng smoothed Wu Tong's long hair. Tongtong's hair was not dyed or permed, it was natural pure black, and there was no tangling when putting your fingers through it. Her hair quality was so good.
She used to be very fashionable and never missed out on dyeing or perming her hair. But no matter how she took care of it, it always felt as rough as dead grass.
It was only in the past six months that she slowly recovered after practicing the breathing techniques and yoga taught by Tongtong. Now she looks and looks good, and she is not boasting about it. Jin Yuan cares about her more than before, for fear that she will attract a lot of admirers when she goes out.
This isn't to say Jin Yuan was perfunctory before, but he's just not as confident as before. Haha... I have to say, this is a woman's pride. The sister-in-law and her husband benefited from it and practiced even more diligently, occasionally sharing their experiences and tips, using breathing techniques and clapping exercises. The old lady, whose white hair has become darker, was also a participant in the exchange.
"No, I won't. When I have the ability to develop an automatic hair-cleaning device, I'll let my hair grow as long as I want!" Although he didn't have to go through the dark senior year of high school, Wu Tong finally made up his mind to trim his long hair.
"Tongtong, how about Daddy take you to the barber shop?" Wu Jingzhong was a little insecure. His skills were all the same old routine. Tongtong was going to Beijing to study and compete on the international stage. His skills were a bit underwhelming! "Which barber shop in the county is good, sister-in-law?" Well, it would be more convenient to ask my in-laws than my lover, whose hairstyle has not changed much over the years.
"Cut it, cut it, Dad. I believe in your craftsmanship. It's just about cutting it short and thinning it out. You can do it. Just cut it short like when we repaired it before!" Wu Tong believed in her father's craftsmanship very much. Comrade Wu had quick eyes and hands, and he was also a studious person. He could get the hang of simple crafts just by looking at them, and he could do it very well after doing it a few times.
Her father's haircutting skills had helped him earn tuition back then. She didn't need anything too complicated; her father's skills were more than enough. "I don't like it when outsiders touch my hair!" Wu Tong found an excuse her father couldn't refuse.
"Okay, Dad will try!" Wu Jingzhong took the scissors, asked her to sit on the small stool, and took the glossy cloth handed by his mother-in-law and wrapped it around Wu Tong.
