Time soon came to the agreed day, and there was a knock on the door of the Xiao family's yard early in the morning.
Xiao Fangchi rubbed his hazy eyes and ran to open the door tapping his cloth shoes.
"Who is it?" As soon as he opened it, he saw Xiao Rong's face. Xiao Fangchi woke up instantly, touched the back of his head and asked, "Xiao Rong? Is there something urgent that brought you to my house so early in the morning?"
"Yes, I'm looking for Su Zhiqing." Xiao Rong stood on tiptoe and looked into the yard. Seeing that the yard was empty and there was no one in sight, she coughed lightly guiltily. She knew she was too early.
But she really couldn't wait any longer, because she was going to have a blind date with Li Guangde today. She was so nervous that she couldn't sleep the whole night. She only took a nap until dawn, but woke up soon after.
There was nothing to do but lie in bed, so I simply put on my clothes and shoes and walked towards Xiao Fangyun's house.
"Su Zhiqing?" Xiao Fangchi frowned. When did Xiao Rong and Su Nan know each other? How come he didn't know?
"Yes, Brother Fang Chi, can you let me go in and wait?" Xiao Rong pointed inside the yard.
Xiao Fangchi came to his senses and quickly made way.
"They haven't woken up yet. Do you want me to help you knock on the door and call them? They sleep in the same room." Xiao Fangchi moved a chair from the main room and placed it under the eaves, motioning Xiao Rong to sit down.
Xiao Rong waved her hands and said no.
But the next second, the door of the room was opened from the inside, and Xiao Fangyun came out with messy long hair and yawned. She pointed in the direction of her own well, touched the tip of her nose and said, "Nannan asked you to wash your face with clean water first."
"Oh, okay." Xiao Rong stood up from the chair, ran to the well to fetch a basin of water, and began to wash her face with her hands.
Xiao Fangchi looked puzzled, wondering what the girls were up to. He turned his head to look at Xiao Fangyun, whose eyes were covered with boogers, and said disdainfully, "You're still talking about others, why don't you wash your face quickly?"
Xiao Fangyun wiped her face twice, glared at Xiao Fangchi, and said nonchalantly: "I'm not wearing makeup today, I'll wash it off later."
"Put on makeup?" Xiao Fangchi caught the hint in her words and asked immediately.
"Yeah, do you still remember what I looked like the day before yesterday? That was all thanks to Nan Nan's amazing makeup skills."
Xiao Fangyun patted her chest and raised her chin slightly in triumph, looking like she was honored together with everyone else. Xiao Fangchi felt that if she had a tail, she would have been shaking it to the sky with pride by now.
"But I think you're in good shape now. You're much more uncomfortable than the day before yesterday. Why waste all that time?"
Xiao Fangchi's straight man speech directly angered Su Nan, who was just limping to the door of the room with a cane.
"Just tell me whether it looks good or not? What a joke, what kind of aesthetic sense is that? Besides, what's wrong with girls putting more effort into being pretty?" Su Nan gritted his teeth and spat, snorted coldly, pushed Xiao Fangchi's shoulder away, and slowly walked towards the well.
Leaving behind was Xiao Fangchi, who was confused, and Xiao Fangyun, who was also angry.
"That's right. I looked so beautiful the day before yesterday, and you still lied with your eyes open." Xiao Fangyun rolled her eyes at her, caught up with Su Nan in two steps, and helped her to the well.
"What did I say wrong?" Xiao Fangchi was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He slapped his forehead and decided not to appear in front of these girls for the time being.
So Xiao Fangchi turned around and walked towards his own room.
"Huang Xiaohui didn't come?" Xiao Fangyun looked around and didn't see that annoying figure, so she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Yes." Xiao Rong was wiping her face. She nodded vigorously when she heard that. How dare she bring that troublemaker here? She was not stupid.
"That's good." Su Nan added, making no secret of his dislike for Huang Xiaohui.
Xiao Rong smiled and said nothing. After washing her face, she waited by the side until Su Nan and Xiao Fangyun finished washing.
Xiao Rong stood opposite Su Nan and saw her taking out a toothbrush and brushing her teeth. She had seen that thing in the supply and marketing cooperative. It was not cheap. The price could buy two or three pounds of pork, but she was reluctant to buy it.
But now seeing Su Nan using it, she couldn't help but feel itchy. Could it be that Su Nan's teeth were so white and not yellow at all because she used a toothbrush to brush her teeth?
Next time she goes to the county town, she will pester her father to buy her one.
He glanced at Xiao Fangyun and saw that she was satisfied just by touching it twice with her fingers like him. Only then did he feel a little relieved.
But Xiao Fangyun also rinsed her mouth with salt water, which she had never done before. She would have to learn to do that next time.
"Su Zhiqing, what is this?" Xiao Rong asked in surprise.
After brushing his teeth, Su Nan wet his face, then squeezed out a little paste from a bottle, rubbed it in his palms twice, and a lot of foam appeared. Then Su Nan rubbed it on his face.
Xiao Fangyun followed suit and skillfully applied foam on her face.
Xiao Rong had seen this thing before, so she couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
"This is facial cleanser." There was foam on Su Nan's face, and he was afraid that it would flow into his mouth, so he just answered vaguely.
Xiao Rong didn't hear clearly, but she was too embarrassed to ask again, so she could only stand aside and watch them in silence.
"Okay, let's go in." Su Nan wiped the water stains on his face with a towel, took the lead and walked towards the room, then hung the towel on the wooden rack at the door.
I silently complained in my mind: "It would be much more convenient and hygienic if I had a face towel. I miss modern little inventions again."
Seeing this, Xiao Rong hurriedly followed.
It was the familiar posture again, Su Nan sat on the bed, Xiao Rong sat on the chair, raising her face slightly to face Su Nan.
Su Nan lifted Xiao Rong's chin, looked left and right, and saw that the acne on her face had disappeared a lot, and her skin was much more hydrated, so she nodded with satisfaction, stretched out her hand and spread her palm, and said softly: "Where is my vanishing cream?"
Hearing this, Xiao Rong reached into her pocket and touched the iron box. Thinking of its miraculous effects, she felt reluctant to give it up, so she pondered, "Su Zhiqing, can I buy this box?"
Su Nan was stunned, and his first reaction was to refuse. But then he thought that this box had been used by Xiao Rong, and he would not use it again. It would be more cost-effective to sell it and earn some income than to just put it in the corner to collect dust.
So he thought back to when he asked Zhou Rang about the price, and after a light cough, he said, "This box was eight dollars when I bought it, and I hadn't used much when I gave it to you. If you want to buy it now, I'll give you a friendly price of five dollars."
"Eight?"
"Five dollars?"
Xiao Fangyun and Xiao Rong covered their lips in surprise.
Xiao Fangyun stood aside with her eyes wide open, carefully touching her face, calculating in her mind how much money she had spent on Su Nan's vanishing cream during this period of time.
Xiao Rong kept rubbing the surface of the iron box, her heart pounding, and the secret pocket on her chest where she hid her money felt hot. It contained the six dollars her mother gave her.
It was only because she was attracted to each other that I gave her money to buy cloth so that she could make a nice shirt.
But it seems that as long as you have a good-looking face, you will look good in anything you wear.
Xiao Rong raised her head slightly and looked at Su Nan, who was wearing a simple white nightgown and had a face as smooth and tender as a peeled egg. She became firm in her mind.
"Okay, I'll buy it."
