The lady who handled the report of loss and the teller Xiao Wu pretended to be involved in the incident and stayed here with the manager to listen to gossip, oh no, to understand the situation.
So Xia Mian roughly recounted how the two of them had hooked up, how they had killed Xia Chun, how they had used Xia Chun's death to get money and a free job, and how they had abused Xiao Feng.
When talking about child abuse, gently lifting up Xiao Feng's clothes and the shocking bruises are the most intuitive proof.
The elder sister who was reporting Xia Mian's loss clenched her fists and couldn't help cursing, "What a beast!"
"No wonder she refused to give me the passbook." Xia Mian sighed helplessly and looked up to ask the manager, "Is this theft? Can the police arrest her?"
"Of course," the older sister said immediately, "They obviously had bad intentions in bringing you here. Even if they were asking the school for money, why would they ask for your passbook? It's not enough to avoid suspicion, it's obvious they're after your money. Little girl, call the police right now!"
Xia Mian was silent for a moment, then looked up at the manager and said, "Brother, can I ask you for a favor?"
The man with a protruding belly and receding hairline laughed when Xia Mian called him, "What's up?"
"I've reported the loss. Next time she comes to withdraw money with an invalid passbook, can you please call the police for me?"
Xia Mian said pitifully, "I'm afraid my brother-in-law will accuse me of framing her again. Didn't he do that yesterday? He found an acquaintance, and then the police classified it as a family conflict, and the woman was released directly. If I call the police, it will definitely have the same result. Then I'm afraid that not only will I not be able to get the money back, but my nephew and I will definitely have a harder time in the future..."
The eldest sister said angrily, "This is absolutely abominable!"
Xiao Wu said, "What she did is a thief! Right, Manager!"
"Indeed," the manager said, "this is what we should have done. Using someone else's lost passbook to withdraw money and not being able to provide any information, we should definitely call the police."
"Don't worry!" Xiao Wu immediately smiled and said, "I remember it clearly. If she dares to come again next time, we will call the police for you!"
Of course he dared to come, Huang Xiaojuan had no defense against summer sleep at all.
"Thank you, thank you, brothers and sisters!" Xia Mian burst into tears of gratitude.
"This girl is so sweet." The older sister who was handling the lost and found report couldn't help but laugh. She looked at Xiao Feng, who had been nestling obediently beside Xia Mian's legs, and felt pity for her. "Oh, what a sin! You must keep an eye on your little nephew from now on. Clean up your hair and study hard!"
Xia Mian touched her hair embarrassedly and said, "I know I didn't look good before. I have to set a good example for Xiao Feng in the future. I'm going to get a haircut now."
When coming out of the bank, Xia Mian had a haircut card in her hand, which was given by the bank manager.
Xia Mian touched Xiao Feng's head and said, "Alas, there are still many good people in the world. How come you, little guy, haven't met one?"
Xiao Feng hugged her legs and smiled, "I ran into my aunt!"
"That's right." Xia Mian leaned over, held his armpits and lifted the little guy up, "Xiao Feng is so lucky to have met my aunt!"
The giggle of the young child was pure and innocent, and Xia Mian couldn't help but smile brightly. If this strange journey through time was to save this child, then that would be fine.
"Hello? Brother Ning, what are you doing? Is the signal bad?"
Ning Shaobai came back to his senses and said, "That's good, I can hear it."
"Oh, I thought the phone was of poor quality," a teasing male voice came from a small, unseen phone. "So what were you doing just now? Did you see a pretty girl?"
Ning Shaobai raised his eyebrows and said, "No, I saw a red-haired monkey."
"Ah? Monkeys? There's a monkey trainer there? Isn't that fun?"
Ning Shaobai raised the corner of his mouth, "Not bad, you smile quite well."
The person on the other end of the phone was puzzled, "How beautiful can a monkey's smile be? Oh, no, a red-haired monkey, what about a red-haired monkey?"
It was almost eleven o'clock. Xia Mian was sweating after playing with Xiao Feng for a while. She stared at the ice cream freezer on the roadside for a long time. The little snowman, popsicles, and small puddings in her memory were all there. She was quite tempted...
Looking down at Xiao Feng, Xia Mian took out two White Rabbit cakes from her pocket, peeled one and gave it to Xiao Feng, then ate one herself. Alas, she suddenly understood the hardship of raising a child. Her conscience did not allow her to eat in front of the child.
"When Xiaofeng gets better, your aunt will allow you to eat an ice cream every day!" Xia Mian announced loudly.
Xiao Feng only saw Xuan Xuan eat the ice cream. When he heard Xia Mian say this, he looked expectant, but he said sensibly, "Xiao Feng doesn't want to eat it."
He just understood in the bank that his aunt's money was stolen by his stepmother and his aunt had no money left.
"That won't do," Xia Mian said proudly, "Follow me, I'll make sure you have delicious food and spicy drinks!" At this point, she squatted down and felt Xiao Feng's stomach, "Are you hungry? Do children need to eat four or five meals a day?"
Someone above his head said, "Xiao Feng is malnourished because he has been hungry for a long time. Eat small meals frequently."
Such a nice voice... Xia Mian sighed, what a pity, the master is blind and heartless.
She looked up and saw that it was indeed Dr. Ning who was Tang Monk.
"Thank you for the reminder." Xia Mian gave a fake smile, "Mr. Tang."
Ning Shaobai raised his eyebrows and said, "You're welcome, Miss Sun." As he said that, he reached out and tugged at her flamboyant red hair, then left in a cool manner.
aestivation:……
Xia Mian stared at his leisurely back with eyes wide open. She could only stamp her feet in anger, deeply hating herself for being at a loss for words: "Ah - I'm so angry!"
Ning Shaobai was in a good mood as he listened to the angry voice behind him, and couldn't help but whistle.
"Aunt, don't be angry." Xiao Feng hugged Xia Mian's thighs, his eyes full of worry and comfort.
"Yes, I'm not angry!" Xia Mian picked up Xiao Feng, "Let's go eat something delicious! After dinner, auntie will go get a haircut!"
Xia Mian's original intention was to comfort Xiao Feng, but once she ate the delicious dumplings, she forgot about the irrelevant people.
Because it is next to a residential area, the dumplings in this roadside shop are not only large in quantity and affordable, but also taste extremely good.
"Is it delicious?" Xia Mian opened one for Xiao Feng. She had seen the neighbor's aunt feeding her grandson dumplings like this. The mushrooms and pork were dripping with oil, which made people very hungry.
Xiao Feng's cheeks moved and he nodded with bright eyes.
Xia Mian touched his stomach and said, "Then eat two more!"
Xiao Feng squinted his eyes happily and shook his legs, looking so cute.
After eating dumplings and drinking some egg soup, Xia Mian and Xiao Feng rushed to the barber shop impatiently.
When I opened the door, I saw a room full of colorful peacocks with their tails spread. Xia Mian thought I had entered a fairy cave. Oh, this was an era when the "Shamatte" culture was popular.
The clerk's eyes lit up when he saw her, as if he had seen a kindred spirit. "Pretty girl, do you want to dye your hair? We dyed it green yesterday and it looks perfect for you. Let Mr. Tony, who just returned from further studies in Hong Kong, dye it for you. It's sure to be stunning."
aestivation:……
Green? How bold of you to say that! She suspected they wanted to use her for an experiment. Apart from the Shamatte, who else would dye their hair green?
When Xia Mian saw the moving green hair, he realized how naive he was. The barber's level might be ranked according to the personality of the hairstyle and eyes, and the teacher Tony in front of him was their fairy king.
"I dyed it black and straightened it." Xia Mian didn't intend to waste time talking to them and said directly, "I have to go to school. I will be expelled from the hair dyeing school."
Even Tony couldn't do anything about moving out of school. He could only sigh with regret, "You are so beautiful, your hair should be more unique to look good. The same goes for school. What does hairstyle have to do with studying?"
This is a lie with open eyes. Her thick bangs almost cover half of her face. How can you see how beautiful she is? She herself can't even see it clearly.
Before washing his hair, Xia Mian held Xiao Feng in his arms, fearing that he would be frightened by the peacock spirits in the fairy cave. However, the little guy seemed to adapt well, tilting his head and looking around curiously.
Xia Mian couldn't help but ask, "What are you looking at?"
Xiao Feng stared at Xia Mian's head and said, "Auntie is the prettiest!"
aestivation:……
It’s over. With this distorted aesthetic, will Xiaofeng’s path to becoming a talented painter be ruined by her?
Xia Mian dyed her hair back to black and cut her hair into a neat student style while Tony was talking all the way. After blowing her hair dry, Xia Mian looked at the appearance of this body carefully. It was really an eyesore before, so she could only turn a blind eye to it.
At this moment, the girl in the mirror was about 70% similar to herself. The thin bangs finally allowed her to reveal her full forehead, almond eyes, nose and oval face. She finally looked a bit like a fairy. Xia Mian nodded with satisfaction.
Tony, who had initially complained about her hair dyeing being a pity, stopped complaining and began chatting with her enthusiastically, asking where she lived and what school she attended. "By the way, we have a student discount in our store. If you have a student ID, you can get a 20% discount."
Look, this is how the little fairy is treated. Xia Mian smiled and said nothing. He just paid and left.
After leaving the barber shop, Xia Mian picked up Xiao Feng and saw that he was still looking at her seriously, so she asked, "Does my aunt look good now?"
Xiao Feng still didn't hesitate, "It looks good!"
Xia Mian smiled, "Who is prettier, the aunt before or the aunt now?"
Xiao Feng put her arms around Xia Mian's neck and said, "They are all beautiful, but my aunt is the most beautiful."
Xia Mian breathed a sigh of relief. Although there were some deviations, the little guy's aesthetic taste should still be saved. She looked at the child carefully for a few times and couldn't help but kissed him on the cheek, "Xiao Feng is also good-looking, so handsome."
It took her a long time to cut hair, so Xia Mian asked Xiao Feng to sit next to her and get her hair cut as well.
Huang Xiaojuan never cared about Xiaofeng, but if a child's hair grew long and was not washed frequently, it would easily get lice. Huang Xiaojuan was also afraid of this, so she simply shaved Xiaofeng's hair, which was not a big deal. When Xiaofeng's hair was a little longer, she just used a clipper to shave it off.
At this moment, Xiao Feng's hair was neither too long nor too short, and she inherited the Xia family's slight natural curl. After a slight layering, it looked very beautiful. However, there was a tuft of hair on the top of her head near her forehead that always stuck up for some reason.
Xia Mian couldn't help but stroke it down. The tuft of hair fell flat along her fingers, then quickly stood up again, feeling like the legendary ahoge...
Xia Mian was having a lot of fun. When Xiao Feng saw her happy, her eyes curved like crescent moons, which really could melt people's hearts with a smile.
On the other hand, because of the incident in the morning, not only Huang Xiaojuan was unable to swallow her anger, but Zhang Qiming was also called in for a talk by the union early in the morning. The two were discussing bringing forward the plan to deal with summer hibernation.
Huang Xiaojuan stayed at home, eagerly waiting for her "friends" who had been dozing off in the summer to come and see her.
