Chapter 117
Su Miao resisted the urge to take a half step back. If he heard correctly, he was very excited now, right? "Brother, are you seriously ill?"
What's the big deal about being infected with lice? Can God please give her a friend with a more normal mindset!!!
"You...why are you so happy about having lice?! Go and smear them! Smear them!!"
Wang Xin looked nonchalant. "Oh, don't be afraid! I'm several meters away from you. I can't infect you. I just came to let you know. I won't be coming on Sunday. I can stay home and watch TV for several days! Oh, and my parents said they haven't had lice, so I'm the first one in our family!"
After saying this, he patted his chest proudly.
Su Miao said in disbelief, "Do you still want to keep lice? I found them when I came back yesterday and got rid of them right away. Be careful or your hair will grow too much and fall out!"
"What! You have lice too? You had them yesterday? How can this be? I can't even compare to you in this?"
The pride on Wang Xin's face quickly collapsed. Su Miao was too amazing! He was better than him in everything, even lice grew before him. It was impossible not to admit defeat.
"Okay, then I'm going home. I just came to let you know."
Seeing him dejected, Su Miao felt the need to provide some emotional value to her few friends, so she encouraged him, "Wang Xin, I heard you ranked fifth in the class on last week's quiz! That's amazing! You're making rapid and steady progress."
Wang Xin's mood brightened noticeably after being praised: "Really? It seems quite impressive!"
"Yes, if you keep working harder with your results, you'll be able to get into the training team."
Wang Xin shook his head vigorously, as if he had heard something terrible. "No, no, no! I'm not going to the training camp. Don't tell my parents about the training camp. I'm leaving! I'm leaving!"
Looking at his hurriedly escaping back, Su Miao tilted his head. It's over. He was flattering the horse.
The Su family is in the food business, and they have very high requirements for environmental hygiene not only in the store but also at home. With the onset of lice this time, they also have to do a thorough disinfection.
First of all, personal hygiene. As always, you need to take a shower every day, even in winter, at least every other day.
Fortunately, the winter here is not that cold. They boiled hot water in advance and took it into the bathroom so it wasn't so cold. Every day, Su Yuanzheng and Su Yu took a shower first.
Su Miao would wait until the bathroom was warm before going in, so that she would not catch a cold. Su Miao also tried taking a bath every other day in winter.
However, her habit of taking a bath before going to bed prevented her from falling asleep, so she decided to just take a bath. Besides, taking a bath was one of the main ways for people in Nanning to keep warm in winter.
All the quilt covers and sofa covers in the house were washed and dried, and replaced with new ones.
Su Yuanzheng used some herbs to fumigate the house, and also found an insect repellent pen that looked like chalk and drew circles in some corners.
Su Miao had never seen this before and asked, "Dad, what is this?"
"This is an insect repellent pen. It has a little bit of pesticide in it. It's okay to use it in the yard. It will repel the insects first, and then you can just rinse it off with water tomorrow."
After working for a long time, I finally cleaned the yard inside and out.
On Monday, Su Miao smelled the smell of disinfectant as soon as he entered the school gate. Although it was not very strong, the special smell could not be ignored.
I heard from the security guard that over the weekend, all the teachers worked overtime to carry out disinfection work in the school. Now the smell has dissipated a lot and should not be smelled tomorrow.
When I entered the classroom, I saw that many of my classmates had shorter hair. Zhang Bilin even had her hair cut short to her ears. She lay on the table in frustration.
Seeing Su Miao come in, she said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Miaomiao. I went back to my hometown to attend a wedding and stayed at my aunt's house for one night. I might have caught lice then. I only discovered it last week when my head was itching so badly that I caused you to get lice too."
Su Miao shook his head: "It doesn't matter. Who can predict such accidental events?"
"But...but my neighbor's brother said that I was the one who spread the lice this time. It infected people in two schools. He said I was a big virus."
Su Miao thought for a moment and asked, "When did you return to the village?"
"Half a month ago, on New Year's Day."
"I think it's unlikely that you alone could infect two schools in just over a week. You weren't the only one who went back to your hometown for New Year's Day. Life was good during that time, and many families held weddings and moved into new homes. There were several people in our class who went back to their hometowns alone."
Huang Jiaqi also said: "Yes, with so many people returning to their hometowns, they might have contracted lice. It must be because so many people were infected that it caused such a large-scale spread. Don't take it upon yourself, it's not your fault."
After their comfort, Zhang Bilian felt much better: "Thank you, now I won't be afraid of what the neighbor's brother will say about me anymore."
"Are you afraid of what he might do? Next time he says that, ask him to pick a louse and see if there's your name on it. If not, it's not you who brought it."
"Ha ha ha ha!!!!"
Su Miao's words completely made the students around him laugh so hard that they pounded their desks.
"Hey! Wang Xin!"
Wu Xiuzhi caught a glimpse of a familiar figure hurriedly passing by the window of her class, so she called out.
But when Wang Xin heard someone calling him, he ran even faster and slipped into his classroom without refusing to show up again.
Wu Xiuzhi said curiously, "What's wrong with Wang Xin? He ignored me and even wore such an ugly woolen hat."
"Maybe you didn't hear me. Just wear a hat when it's cold. My mom asked me to wear one this morning, but I refused. If I wore it and took it off in the classroom, my hair would stick to my head." Huang Jiaqi said.
A twelve-year-old girl already knows what is beautiful and what is ugly, but she cares a lot about her hairstyle.
Several others nodded in agreement. They were also reluctant to wear the crocheted woolen hats their mothers made, but they did like the knitted scarves. Nowadays, many mothers have bought books teaching knitting, and everyone's scarf has a different pattern.
When it was time for physical exercise, they finally found out why Wang Xin ran away. It turned out that his head was shaved bald, so he had to wear a hat to cover it.
Catched by his friends, Wang Xin said with a bitter face, "It's all my grandma's fault. My mom said boys with short hair can just wash it, but she insisted on shaving mine, saying it would give the lice nowhere to hide and would cure them immediately. Now I feel like there's a draft on my head and my brain is frozen."
Fortunately, his friends did not laugh at him or take off his hat as a prank. They comforted him by saying that his hair would grow back soon.
It nearly made him burst into tears amidst the warmth of his friends.
