Chapter 149 Little New Year

Zhou Nuan: “…”

She remembered that she didn't talk in her sleep, so did she really do that? Then, did she not say anything important?

Seeing her nervous face, Gu Xiyue suddenly spoke.

"It's a lie."

"Ah." Zhou Nuan breathed a sigh of relief. His expression just now really didn't look like he was joking. "Don't make such jokes next time. I almost had a heart attack."

Gu Xiyue pursed his lips, his eyes filled with an inexplicable dark look.

Zhou Nuan didn't notice it. She visited the small company with great interest and made many suggestions based on her past experience.

Wang Youzhi followed behind him and nodded his head. Finally, he couldn't help but sigh, "Your sister-in-law is really amazing. How did you come up with these ideas? The suggestions you put forward are very useful. You can't tell at all that you have been living in the countryside before. Did your sister-in-law really not have any education?"

Zhou Nuan laughed it off.

She was too lazy to worry about business matters. Fortunately, Wang Youzhi did not ask her to come over. Since then, Gu Xiyue seemed to be getting busier and busier, and he was often not seen during the New Year's Eve.

But it's normal. After all, in addition to this small start-up company, there is also a clothing factory with an increasingly good reputation to manage. In recent times, the family's clothing factory has surpassed Huashun and is showing signs of becoming the leading clothing factory in Haicheng.

The 24th day of the 12th lunar month is the Minor New Year in the South.

Although they were both from the south, Qin Yuezhi and her family had never celebrated the Little New Year, which was very strange. Aunt Li woke everyone up early in the morning and prepared glutinous rice balls and rice cakes. They were supposed to clean the house, but since they had already cleaned one floor when they moved in, they only had to do a simple clean.

After breakfast, Aunt Li went to worship the Kitchen God. Zhou Nuan and the others didn’t know the rules, so they just followed Aunt Li and did whatever she told them to do.

After the ceremony was finally completed, Aunt Li urged me to get a haircut. Because there is a custom of not cutting hair in the first month of the lunar year, the hair must be cut before the Chinese New Year. This is also the reason why the barber shop is the busiest before the Chinese New Year.

The only men in the family needed a haircut. Gu Xiyue was not at home, and Gu Xiaodong had thin hair so didn't need one. Only Su Hang needed a haircut, and his hair happened to be longer.

Zhou Nuan took Su Hang out to get a haircut.

When I arrived at the barber shop, an employee greeted me enthusiastically, "Hello, are you here to get a haircut?"

"Oh, my child needs a haircut."

The employee was a little disappointed. The price difference between hair styling and hair cutting was huge. Her smile was a little forced. "You'll have to wait. There's no room now."

"How long will it take?"

"I'm not sure. I'll let you know when there's a vacancy. You guys just sit and wait for a while."

Zhou Nuan looked around and saw that there were indeed no empty seats in the store. She nodded in understanding and said, "Okay."

She took Su Hang to sit aside.

But they didn't have to wait long. After a while, a barber came in and finished his hair. He was looking at himself in the mirror, looking very satisfied.

Just when Zhou Nuan was about to wake Su Hang up, a familiar female voice suddenly came from the door, "Boss, give me a fashionable hairstyle."

Zhou Nuan couldn't help but sigh.

Ji Huayan is really everywhere.

The person standing at the door was Ji Huayan, and beside her stood Ji's mother. Ji Huayan held Ji's mother's hand tightly, and the two were dressed very exquisitely. Because of the cleaning, Zhou Nuan and Su Hang only wore the simplest clothes, looking very inconspicuous.

When the barbershop employee saw Ji Huayan and her daughter, his eyes paused on their expensive clothes for a moment, and then he greeted them warmly, "Welcome."

"Give me and my mom a fashionable hairstyle." Ji Huayan said, glancing inside the store, "Is there no room left?"

"Ah, yes, yes, there is just one spot." said the employee with a smile.

Just then, the big brother paid the bill and left, and the staff hurriedly invited people to the vacant seat.

"etc."

Zhou Nuan stood up and looked calmly at the employee who seemed to have forgotten about her and Su Hang. "We came here first, so we should be the first to deal with it, right?"

The employee was a little stunned, then he quickly looked at both parties and immediately made a choice.

"I'm sorry, but I've already told these two ladies. How about you wait a little longer? It will be over soon here too."

Ji Huayan only then noticed Zhou Nuan and the other person, and her face immediately looked unhappy, especially when she saw that although Zhou Nuan was wearing simple old clothes today, it still couldn't hide her beautiful face, which made her even more unhappy.

How does this woman look like? Why does she seem to be getting more and more beautiful?

Her dissatisfaction disappeared after hearing the employee's words, and she glanced at Zhou Nuan with a sense of pride.

Zhou Nuan's expression did not change at all, only her tone became colder, "Are you sure?"

She looked calm, but the invisible aura she exuded made the employee slightly stunned.

Facing Ji Huayan's admiring gaze, she hesitated for a moment, but still said with a brave face, "If you really can't wait, you can go to other barber shops."

Anyway, even if she complained to the store manager, the store manager would stand on her side. There is a huge price difference between a haircut and a hairstyling, and it's more about having two hairstyling services. Even the store manager would definitely do this.

Zhou Nuan looked at the employee quietly for a while, then twitched the corner of her mouth and was about to speak.

Ji's mother suddenly spoke up, "You are doing it wrong. Everything has a first come first served order. Since they came first, they should be allowed to go first."

Ji Huayan looked at Ji's mother in disbelief, "Mom?"

But Ji's mother ignored her and stared at the young employee with a frown and a stern look on her face.

The young employee was panicked by being stared at, and said to Zhou Nuan in an awkward manner, "Well, since this lady is so generous, let her give it to you. You guys go first."

Zhou Nuan raised her eyebrows and said sarcastically, "What do you mean by giving way? We should have gone first."

Su Hang pulled her and said, "Aunt, I don't want to get a haircut here anymore. The people here don't seem to have good skills, their faces are so ugly, and they look down on people. They might go bankrupt soon."

It's almost the New Year, and this is not a very nice thing to say. However...

"You are right."

Zhou Nuan took Su Hang and turned away. The employee gritted his teeth and said to Ji Huayan with an unnatural smile, "Please sit down."

Ji Huayan felt like she had won. "Mom, you go first."

But Ji's mother frowned and said, "I won't go. If you want to do it, do it yourself."

He muttered to himself again, "Is this the daughter of the family you stayed with when you were a child? She was the one who was very close to Chen Yan at the auction that day. I didn't expect that a girl would change a lot when she grows up. She is not as timid as she was when she was a child. If I had known that she would have the fate she has now, I would have..."

It would have been better to adopt her in the first place.
