Breakfast was quickly finished. Qin Li picked up two baskets, which contained two sacks, and also brought two baskets. He had a lot of things to buy today.
He brought Chen Tan to the village entrance. Uncle Meng, who was driving the ox cart, waved his whip and said, "Li Wa Zi, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"Have you eaten yet?" Qin Li handed him two pickled cabbage and meat patties. "I'm sorry to have worked hard all day."
"We're all neighbors, so why bother?" Uncle Meng happily took the pancake and looked at Chen Tan, "Ni'er, have you eaten yet?"
"I've eaten, Grandpa Meng, why is there no one here today?"
Chen Tan looked around and didn't see anyone riding in a car.
"Don't you know? Li Wazi needs the car all day today. I pushed the others away and told them to go into the city tomorrow. It's just the two of you today."
"Oh, please, you're old."
Chen Tan smiled and saw Qin Li took the whip and drove the cart. She sat in the middle of the cart.
Because they didn't bring anyone else with them, the three of them entered the county town in less than an hour.
Qin Li took out a note and a handful of banknotes and gave them to Chen Tan, asking her to go to the department store with Uncle Meng first to choose the things he wanted to buy and the things she wanted.
He carried the baskets and sacks and went somewhere else.
Chen Tan also needed such an opportunity to be alone, so she asked Uncle Meng to drive the ox cart to the bookstore.
She didn't have the chance to chat with Liang Yujin's parents last night, so she could only choose the exam preparation materials based on the books Liang Yujin mentioned.
Physics and chemistry are similar to what she has learned before, and her English is also about the same.
It’s just that Chinese is very different from what she learned, and it takes some time to learn it again.
The frustrating thing is that many books are not available yet.
She picked out a few sets based on her intuition and planned to go to the provincial capital and buy them in a big city when she had the chance.
When she came out of the bookstore, she took advantage of no one's attention and put all the books into the space, leaving only a set of breeding books in her hand.
When we arrived at the department store, Uncle Meng was still waiting outside.
Chen Tan carried a basket and bought everything according to the instructions on the note.
Most of the items written on the note were snacks like candies and biscuits, and clothes bought for her and Qin Qiuniang, but nothing for Qin Li himself.
She picked out two sets of clothes for Qin Qiuniang to wear in spring and autumn, and one set of winter clothes.
I picked out two sets of blue suits commonly worn by educated youth, two pairs of green rubber-soled work shoes, and ten pairs of work gloves for myself to wear when working after the Chinese New Year. I also bought a dark green cross-body bag and a water bottle.
In her previous life, she always carried a bag with her wherever she went. But after coming here, she had no bag to use, so she carried a bamboo basket with her every time she went out.
It feels like I don’t have something on my arm, and my heart feels like something is missing, and I feel uncomfortable all over.
Then, she bought Liu Xu a wine-red cotton jacket, a pair of thick corduroy cotton trousers, and two pairs of brown leather cotton shoes.
I also bought two sets of thick clothes and two pairs of cotton shoes for Chen Suosuo.
Save it for them when their family moves to the farm.
Thinking about the manure that would be produced from raising pigs, she bought a pair of boots for the three members of her family and herself and stored them in the space.
After buying everything, she hesitated whether to buy a set of clothes for Qin Li, but finally she resisted the urge to do so.
The more she cares about him, the more she will give him the illusion that she cares about him, which will only add to his troubles.
After coming out, she put the things on the ox cart and took out a bag of egg cakes for Uncle Meng. "Grandpa Meng, you eat first. When Brother Qin comes, we will go eat."
Looking at the four large cakes, Uncle Meng rubbed his hands and said embarrassedly: "Oh, this is too much, one piece is enough for me."
"Don't be polite to me. I'd like to trouble you to take me to the barber shop. I want to get a haircut."
Chen Tan stuffed the cake into his arms and got on the ox cart briskly.
Uncle Meng happily put the cake into the cloth bag hanging on the shaft of the ox cart and drove the cart forward.
"There's a husband-and-wife barber shop up ahead. I heard they're really good at cutting hair. I'm sure you'll look great if you go there."
"I don't need to look great, just neatly trimmed." Chen Tan adjusted his hair.
After more than three months of care, the frizzy yellow hair finally became black and smooth, and no longer frizzy.
When they arrived at the barber shop, Uncle Meng drove the ox cart to the alley next to it to eat cake.
Chen Tan walked into the store by herself and saw six people waiting. She paid the money and found a quiet seat to sit down and took out a breeding book to read.
The barbers in the barber shop are a middle-aged couple. The man cuts men's hair and the woman cuts women's hair.
Soon, the people in front of Shen Tan had left.
She wore a mask and scarf, leaving only her fair forehead and big watery eyes exposed.
The female hairdresser noticed her early on and was really curious about what she would look like without her scarf.
She sent the last female customer away and came to Chen Tan, "Hey, little girl, come here, I'll wash your hair."
"Thank you for your hard work!"
Chen Tan put the book into his cross-body bag, went to the shampoo basin and washed his hair himself.
Sitting in front of the mirror, the female hairdresser saw the scars on her face and her eyes were full of pity.
Fortunately, they were used to seeing all kinds of disabilities and did not show inappropriate emotions.
She blew her hair half dry, picked up the scissors and exclaimed, "Tsk tsk, little girl, your hair is really good, as black as if it had been oiled. What kind of cut do you want?"
There were several photos of fashionable hairstyles in the barber shop. Chen Tan pointed to one of the short haircuts and said, "I want that."
"Okay, sit up straight and don't move."
Perhaps out of pity, the female hairdresser spoke to Chen Tan in a particularly gentle tone.
Chen Tan smiled at her through the mirror.
The female hairdresser also smiled kindly, and the scissors in her hand were as fast as a flying swallow. In a short time, she cut out a refreshing and cute hairstyle.
Considering the scar on Chen Tan's face, she didn't cut it too short, leaving it one centimeter below the ear so that it wouldn't stick into the neck.
I cut thick bangs on my forehead to cover all the scars on my face.
Finally, looking at Chen Tan's face, she exclaimed in amazement, "Wow, your hair is the most beautiful I've cut this year. Maosheng, look at what a lovely and cute girl you are!"
The male barber next to him looked over and said with a smile, "This woman's parents must be very good-looking, otherwise, how could they give birth to such a beautiful daughter?
I'm going to take a picture of her with my camera and hang it up in my room for other lesbians to use as a reference."
"Yes, yes, go get it!"
The female hairdresser happily turned around and poured a cup of hot water for Chen Tan. "Don't be anxious, little girl. It will only take you a moment."
“Okay, thank you!”
Chen Tan did not refuse. She brought the hot water and looked at her face in the mirror. She seemed to be a few years younger, just like the junior high school girl in her previous life.
On a whim, she puffed out her cheeks and pouted at the person in the mirror.
Qin Li bought the things and looked around before finally finding Uncle Meng. When he heard him say that Chen Tan was cutting hair, he touched his face and came in as well.
I happened to see Chen Tan acting cute in front of the mirror.
