Chapter 006 Cutting Ke Xiang's Hair
After a few minutes of exploration, Wen Jiajia finally understood what "synthesis" was.
To put it simply, this is a synthetic cheat.
What is synthesis? It is to combine low-level or defective items of the same attribute with a degree of 50% to form a new item.
For example, the five types of iron tools you just touched can be synthesized into two new items.
Wen Jiajia couldn't understand why it was five in two. After experimenting with the five kinds of iron tools one by one, she found that it could actually be three in one.
Just like now, three options emerged in her mind: "small pot with two handles, fruit knife, and scissors", and she can choose any two items from them.
If you put down two types of ironware, you can only choose one item.
Wen Jiajia thought for a moment and finally chose the small pot with two handles and scissors.
Three seconds later, two objects appeared in front of her.
Then she realized that she had been cheated. The scissors were fine, as they were smaller and could be used.
But the small pot with two handles was really a small pot! She had never seen a pot the size of a palm!
Wen Jiajia's brain froze and she was speechless.
"System, system?"
No one answered, which shows that this cheat code is not very smart and you need to understand it yourself.
She thought about it, ran downstairs to the kitchen with scissors and a pot, and picked up the kitchen knife beside the stove, but this time there was no electronic sound in her mind.
If she hadn't been holding the saucepan in her hand, she would have thought that what had just happened was a dream!
"Could it be that there are other conditions required?" Wen Jiajia murmured to herself, feeling that she had guessed correctly.
But now that the golden finger has appeared, it will not disappear easily. She has never heard of this thing running away after completing an order, so she can rest assured.
Anyway, she had already prepared herself for not having the golden finger.
Wen Jiajia put the scissors into the drawer in the room, then put the pot into the kitchen cabinet, waiting to continue the synthesis next time.
The village in the evening seemed to be covered with a layer of orange-red gauze, breathtakingly beautiful.
Wen Jiajia stood at the gate of the courtyard, her hands itching. This was really good material, but it was a pity that there was no camera.
There are also fields near the entrance of the village, and there are quite a few of them.
Many people passing by her door on their way to work, nine out of ten would greet her. This was the network of contacts that the old couple of the Wen family had left behind after being good people for most of their lives, and now it was a good opportunity for her, so Wen Jiajia also took this opportunity to get to know some of the villagers.
This one is called uncle and that one is called aunt.
This one is called brother and that one is called sister-in-law.
Even if she accidentally saw a dog passing by her house, she would ask whether it was a male or female.
So by dinner time, word spread throughout the village that the third son of the Wen family was a very generous man.
The "generous" here does not mean that her hands are big, but that she is very outgoing.
Fang Duocai laughed and said, "This Wen Lao San looks really different from the rest of the Wen family. Brother Wen can go three days without saying a word, but she says more in an evening than her father does in a month."
There is an open space at the entrance of Fuyang Brigade. From here, you can see the entrance and the end of the village. The view is wide. There is also a century-old camphor tree planted next to the open space. It is a good place to cool off. The team members like to gather here to chat, especially in the evening when having dinner.
Team members who lived nearby came here with their bowls in hand, and took out a long bench from the team headquarters to sit down, chatting while eating. Their daily life was very comfortable.
Those who live far away hurriedly finished their meals and came back, fearing that they would miss some topics or information if they were not there. They were even more afraid that those gossipers would nag at them if they were not there.
The main topic of the conversation under the old camphor tree in Fuyang Brigade these past two days has been the Wen family, or more precisely, the third son of the Wen family.
The old couple of the Wen family and their daughter and son-in-law are deceased, so if you can avoid saying too much, then do so. You should show respect.
So when Fang Duocai mentioned Old Man Wen in her words, she was immediately scolded.
"You have a foul mouth, Lao Cai. Uncle Wen hasn't even been buried yet and you dare to talk nonsense about him. I think you will have to kowtow a few more times when Uncle Wen and Aunt Wen are buried."
The person who spoke was Chen Qiang, the second son of the Chen family next door to the Wen family. Because they were neighbors, the Chen and Wen families had a good relationship. He learned the bamboo strip craft from Wen's elder brother-in-law, so he was the first to stand up.
Fang Duocai quickly patted his lips, shrunk his shoulders, and said awkwardly: "I'm just talking in a hurry."
There are many Buddhists and Taoists in the area, and many "feudal remnant" buildings still remain on the mountain.
Fang Duocai was no exception. He would burn sutras and pray to Buddha in private. Suddenly, he remembered that the Wen family had not yet passed the seventh day of mourning. He felt a chill on his body. He thought that he would ask his wife to send two eggs to the Wen family to make up for this bad behavior.
The team members ignored Fang Duocai's restlessness and tacitly agreed not to talk about other members of the Wen family, but instead focused on Wen Jiajia.
Fang Hongmian held up the empty bowl and said, "If you ask me, a grown-up girl should be more outgoing. I don't like those girls whose voices are smaller than flies to talk too much. Wen Saner even called me sister and said that I looked young but spoke much more pleasantly than us country people."
"You are an old fool pretending to be young. You dare to answer her call. You are old enough to be her mother."
Fang Hongmian straightened her back and glared at the person who was speaking, "In terms of generation, why am I not the elder sister?"
Even if I’m 38, I’m still a sister!
"Sister is sister, no one said no." Someone laughed, "Oh, by the way, who was the guy who came to your house that day? Is he from your husband's side?"
Fang Hongmian's husband was also a married woman like Wen Dajie, but her husband was not an orphan and had many relatives at home, so relatives would often come to visit.
"No way!" Fang Hongmian pursed her lips and waved her hand, saying with disdain, "There is no such relative on his side of the family. He is my eldest brother's comrade-in-arms. He came home to visit his relatives and helped my eldest brother deliver something."
"I think, even if he's not wearing a military uniform, he looks like a soldier, tall and straight!"
Fang Hongmian smiled and said, "Yes, he is from the next commune. You know the river mouth in Hegou Township, right? The Wei family, it was his uncle's family who caught a big turtle while fishing a few years ago."
"I understand now that you put it that way. Wei Chengcai's family, that idiot once jumped on a train with us when he was young. Later, when the flashlight came, he showed up with his hands raised like a coward before it even hit him. As a result, he was let off because of his good attitude, but a few of us were implicated and were arrested by the police and taught a lesson all night."
This is quite funny. At that time, a few of them relied on their good swimming ability to hide in the water. Who knew that the police were standing on the shore with their hands in their pockets, staring at the river leisurely.
The last few people floated to the shore when they were almost suffocating. They were captured and locked up for a night in disgrace, and they also caught a cold. It was so miserable.
Fang Hongmian was surprised: "When the Wei family was still brave enough, they dared to jump on the train. Among the members of their family, I only like Wei Dai, the others are all cowardly."
Fang Liuyu followed up on this conversation, cracking pumpkin seeds and saying, "Speaking of Wei Dai, his mother went to my grandmother yesterday to propose a matchmaking to Wei Dai. This young man has a good character. It was he who sent San'er to the commune when he fainted that day, and he left right away without leaving his name."
Her grandmother was from the Hegou Township Commune, and was in the same brigade. She was afraid that the daughters of the Hegou Township Commune would look down on the Wei family, so she came to Fuyang today and told her mother about it, asking her mother to help look for a suitable girl.
Wei Dai is a good person, very upright. But when it comes to marriage, one must not only consider the man, but also his family.
The Wei family is a family of soft persimmons. The hard bones of the family seem to grow on Wei Dai. If Wei Dai had not been so promising, his family would have been bullied to death in Hegou Township.
The most important thing is that even if she married Wei Dai, she couldn't follow the army. Her grandmother said that she had to apply for approval. But there were too many wolves and too little meat, and her family, which had just married and had no children, would not approve it.
That is to say, after marrying him, the girl would have to stay alone in an empty house and have to face a group of easy targets in the Wei family. So no matter how good Wei Dai's conditions were, it would not be easy for him to find a partner.
Fang Hongmian asked, "So he's back for a blind date this time?"
Fang Liuyu: "Of course, they said they would take a month off and get married after the date. The Wei family is in a hurry."
In the end, the topic went too far off topic and Wen Jiajia finally stopped being talked about.
Only Fang Duocai was restless for a while. When dusk was approaching, he returned home and said to his wife, "Bring some eggs to the Wen family."
His wife, Jiang Guihua, was collecting dried wild chrysanthemums. When she heard this, she looked up and asked in confusion, "Why are you giving me eggs?"
Fang Duocai paused, looking uneasy: "Just do it when I tell you to. Why are you asking so many questions?"
Jiang Guihua tsk-tsk-tsked and snorted, "You didn't feed the chicken, and you didn't lay the eggs, yet you act so awesome." He must have offended someone with that bad mouth again.
As he said this, he returned to the house with the wild chrysanthemums on the bamboo tray, and then took out a few eggs from the cupboard. After thinking for a while, he put two eggs back. Finally, he put two eggs in his pocket and two in his hand and walked towards Wen's house.
Wen Jiajia is cutting Wen Chun and Wen Xuan's hair. The first thing they want to cut after getting the scissors is their hair.
She washed the two children's hair in the afternoon, and the water was so dirty that it was unbearable to look at. Fortunately, the two children did not have lice on their heads, otherwise she would have to go to the county town overnight to buy medicine for them to kill the lice!
After washing her hair, she rubbed it vigorously with old clothes and dried it in an afternoon. Wen Chun's hair was like her mother's, and it was very similar to Wen Jiajia's hair, thin and soft. Fortunately, she had a lot of hair, so she could still tie two braids that were two fingers thick.
Wen Xuan's hair was thicker, darker, and a little curly, probably inherited from her father, an educated youth. Wen Jiajia suspected that her hair absorbed a lot of nutrients every day, otherwise it wouldn't be so black and shiny.
In the past, the two girls had their biological mother to help them take care of their hair, but now they only have this cheap aunt, so they can only cut it with a pair of scissors.
She will need to go to work or do a job in the future, and will also have to do housework for a long time. She simply won't have enough time to wash and comb the two girls' hair.
There was no time to lose, and after the hair was completely done, she gave the two girls a schoolboy haircut.
However, the student leader was not called the student leader at that time, but Ke Xiangtou. Ke Xiang is a person, who is it? Ke Xiang in the model opera "Du Yashan".
A few years ago, posters of Ke Xiang were posted in the county town. They were full of vitality and power, which caused a Ke Xiang fever in the county town. Even now, many people still have the Ke Xiang hairstyle.
Wen Chun was actually reluctant to have her hair cut, and before doing so he looked at her with tears in his eyes.
But Wen Jiajia had a cold face and a hard heart, so he cut her hair into shoulder-length short hair with just two scissors.
Wen Jiajia has skills. In her previous life, in order to look good on camera, she studied makeup for a period of time.
Later, she flew to Korea to get a new hairstyle. She was so amazed that she stayed in Korea for an extra week to learn how to trim and manage her hair from a hairstylist. After returning to China, she bought a lot of wigs to practice. After half a year, her roommates and the ladies in the studio all let her help cut their hair.
Wen Chun’s student hair is no big deal.
She made a few "crunch, crunch" sounds, and clumps of hair fell to the ground.
After trimming her hair to its natural look, she had bangs cut. The bangs were trimmed neatly so as to just cover her eyebrows. When she made a slight expression, her eyebrows would be revealed.
I have to say, it looks pretty good after the haircut, at least better than before, and the whole person looks more lively and vivid.
But Wen Xuan's hair was much more difficult, and Wen Jiajia needed to cut it in layers.
She still has the same flat bangs as her sister, but Wen Xuan's bangs reveal her eyebrows, making her look more mischievous than her sister.
"Aunt, I, I like having my hair cut!" Wen Xuan was the second one to have her hair cut. Seeing her sister become more beautiful after the haircut, she was not worried at all. Instead, she shook her head excitedly, swinging her hair back and forth.
After the haircut, he even ran to the water tank, put his chin on his hand, looked at himself on the water surface from side to side, and stuck his butt out, looking very conceited.
So when Jiang Guihua came to the Wen family, he saw two girls who had changed so much that he almost didn't recognize them!
"My dear!" Jiang Guihua said incredulously, "Did your aunt cut your hair?"
"Grandma Hua." Wen Chun and Wen Xuan called for help. The two girls were playing hopscotch in the front yard.
"It was my aunt who cut her hair!" Wen Xuan raised her head and said, "It's so beautiful. Meihua didn't have her aunt cut her hair."
Jiang Guihua: “…”
"Where is your aunt?" she asked.
Wen Chun frowned: "Aunt is cooking." She was standing on one leg now. If Grandma Hua didn't leave, she would lose.
Jiang Guihua stuffed the eggs into Wen Chun's pocket and said, "Chun'er, help me give these four eggs to your aunt, saying they are for your health."
After saying that, she left in a hurry without going back into the house. She was a little hesitant, after all, she had just heard about the death of a family member.
Wen Chun was almost crying, and now she couldn't dance anymore.
"You didn't win this round, Grandma Hua won." Wen Chun put down his other foot and said to Wen Xuan, then he put his hands in his pockets and went back to the kitchen.
It was dark and nothing could be seen beyond three meters.
Jiang Guihua returned home and closed the door.
Facing Fang Duocai's inquiring look, she rolled her eyes and said in a fortune-teller's manner, "Don't worry, if Uncle Wen and Aunt Wen come here soon, they won't look for you first."
"Why?"
"Because Wen Sanbachun'er Xuanxuan's hair was cut." When a local elder dies, people are not allowed to cut their hair within six months.
