After Hua Shi poured out all the dirty water in the wooden basin, he heard Hua Li's mysterious words and turned to look over.
Facing this guy's anxious and expectant eyes, it seemed as if he was urging her to ask herself...
"Why?" Hua Shi asked.
In fact, she was not interested in Hua Ciyuan's affairs.
Especially in the past month or so, Hua Ciyuan has been almost riding on Li's head, showing off his power as if he had won a comeback battle.
Looking at his smug look, it seems he's very confident about his exam results and has put on airs in advance...
The key is that the Li family is also willing to support him. It is not difficult to imagine that if Hua's father really passed the imperial examination, the Hua family would probably be controlled by the Li family...
Hua Li immediately said, "Because today is the day the exam results are announced, January 16th. Xie Wanyuan told me about this. He usually studies at the academy, so he knows all this."
Without waiting for Hua Shi to speak, Hua Li lowered his voice again and said, "I saw grandma stayed in the house all morning and didn't come out. It seemed that she didn't know that today was the day for the results to be announced. Dad didn't seem to want to tell her. He ran out just after dawn..."
When Hua Li said this, his expression was a little confused.
Hua Shi blinked and asked, "How do you know so clearly?"
Hua Li scratched her wet hair, feeling prickly yet amusing, and unconsciously touched it again. "This morning, when my second brother got up, I woke up too. Not long after I heard Dad leave, my second brother followed suit. Then I thought about what Xie Wanyuan said to me yesterday, and I remembered that today was the day the exam results were announced, so I knew."
When he said this, he seemed a little proud of his own cleverness.
Hua Shi said of him: "Little clever ghost."
I was also a little confused.
Hua Ciyuan left early, probably heading to the village entrance to wait for the results, but why did Hua Yu leave so early too? Or did he follow Hua Ciyuan out the moment he left?
Hua Xiao pulled out the half-sleeping little Hua Ying, interrupting Hua Shi's deep thoughts.
After the little guy had breakfast, he retreated back to his room and took a nap.
It can be seen that he was sleeping soundly, and his face was covered with red marks from being pressed.
Hua Xiao pushed Xiao Huaying and signaled him to go to Hua Shi.
The little guy was pushed to Hua Shi, yawned, and had no idea what to do.
Hua Shi's gaze fell on his messy hair, which looked less and shorter than Hua Xiao and Hua Li's, and the hair was also finer and softer.
For boys, it’s easier to cut their hair into a buzz cut, and then pay attention to cleaning and care, and they won’t get worms anymore.
Hua Shi reached out, took his small, fleshy hand, and asked seriously, "Xiaoying, do you want to get a buzz cut? Just like your fourth brother's hair."
As she spoke, she pointed in the direction of Hua Li.
Hua Li also cooperated and took off the cloth, revealing her short hair.
Xiao Huaying moved a beat slower, like a little sloth. It took her a while to turn around and see Huali's short, tangled hair clearly.
He pursed his lips tightly, his expression looked a little more serious, and when he looked at Hua Shi, he shook his head to express his refusal.
Hua Shi asked: "Why not?"
Xiao Huaying said slowly: "Ugly."
Hua Shi paused, then looked at Hua Li: "Is it ugly?"
She thought it was okay, but she hadn't seen a buzz cut for a long time, so it looked a little strange. It wasn't ugly at all. He looked much cuter with short hair than before, when it was messy and looked like a little beggar.
"Um."
However, Huaying nodded affirmatively.
Hua Shi paused, trying to coax him: "But your hair is very dirty now, so dirty that it's full of little bugs that are drinking your blood."
Having said this, the little guy still looked unmoved, with a stern face and a serious expression that didn't change at all.
Hua Shi continued, "The food you eat just makes a round in your stomach, and before you can even taste it, it's absorbed by the little bugs on your head."
When talking about food, Xiao Huaying's expression became obviously more serious, and her brows furrowed.
Hua Shi’s main point is to be serious and talk nonsense: “In other words, even though you eat the food, it is not yours. The nutrients are all sucked away by the little bugs.”
Little Huaying didn't understand Hua Shi's long speech, but he understood: the bugs on his head will steal his food!
Hua Shi frowned and asked again, "Did you just eat a lot recently? Did you feel hungry again not long after?"
The little guy's eyes lit up, he pursed his lips and nodded.
Hua Shi suppressed his laughter and said in a low voice, "That's it. It's all because your head is covered with little bugs. They are secretly sucking your nutrients."
When Xiao Huaying heard this, she bared her teeth, her eyes flashed with murderous intent, and she reached out to pat her messy hair, trying to kill the bug on her head.
"It's useless. I need to cut my hair short. Without any hair, the insects will have no place to live and will all die." Hua Shi shook his head and said.
Xiao Huaying looked up at her.
Hua Shi asked again: "Now, are you willing to cut your hair short?"
The little guy pouted and nodded in response, "Okay...right!"
When Xiao Huaying turned her back to her and sat on the stool in front of her, Hua Shi couldn't help but reveal a faint smile in her eyes.
They are still young, so they are easier to deceive...
Hua Xiao and Hua Li, who were standing by, heard that Hua Shi had coaxed Xiaoying into silence with just a few words. They stared at her with a strange expression.
With previous experience, when cutting Xiaoying's hair, Hua Shi's hand movements were obviously much more skillful. In no time, he cut the messy hair cleanly.
While Hua Shi was washing Xiao Huaying's hair, there was a sudden burst of noise outside the yard, as if many people were approaching this side...
The sound of chaotic footsteps, mixed with the voices of a large group of people talking, approached the gate of the courtyard.
Hua Shi hurriedly quickened his hands to wash Xiaoying's hair, picked up a piece of cloth beside him, wiped the water droplets dripping from his hair, then stood up and looked towards the courtyard gate where the noisy sounds were approaching.
“Bang, bang, bang!——”
“Bang Bang!!——”
After a while, the small wooden door at the entrance of the yard was suddenly knocked loudly.
"Mrs. Li! Mrs. Li?! Come out now!"
