Chapter 005: [Sweet itching]
Since last year, almost all educated youth have begun to return to the city like a tide. Except for some who have taken root in the countryside, who have married or married, who are reluctant to leave, some have abandoned their husbands, daughters, or even their wives and children in order to leave these villages. Of course, some have also gone to the countryside late, and their families hope that their children can experience it in the countryside for a period of time.
So Xu Ning knew that since the country began to allow educated youth to take their own back to the city, grandma's heart has always been carried.
She was not worried about gossiping about being told by someone that her wife had run away, but about her father and granddaughter. After all, the educated youth in the village abandoned their wives, husbands and children and left, but there were two or three, and there were many in the nearby villages. Yu Chunhua was very disgusting for such people.
"Let's talk about it when your parents come back in the evening." The old lady still wanted to ask her son's opinions first. It's not that she has no opinion, but that her granddaughter knows that she is not as good as her son. After all, Xu Jianjun also works in the county government, and some national policies are still very clear. If the granddaughter is wrong and brings things to sell, it will affect the future of her son and daughter-in-law.
Xu Ning didn't say anything else, nodding to show understanding.
After dinner, Yu Chunhua quickly packed the dining table and asked Xu Ning to sit on the stool. She mixed the water and began to wash Xu Ning's hair.
I have to say that this is really dirty. I washed several basins of water on my face before I finished it.
The grandparents and grandchildren sat at the kitchen door. The sun was very warm in the morning, making people lazy and comfortable.
Yu Chunhua used three towels to prevent Xu Ning's long hair from dripping. Then she asked while combing her hair, "What do you want to cut?"
"Is it good to cut the back as well, would it be better to cut the bangs in the front?" Xu Ning asked.
The old lady didn't answer, so there should be no problem.
Xu Ning's hair was moderately thick and shiny, and it looked like her mother, straight and straight. Yu Chunhua said it was troublesome, but she was reluctant to cut it when she saw this hair.
But it has grown to the bottom of the butt, so washing your hair is also a troublesome, and there is nothing to worry about a little short.
The old lady is not a professional barber, but she cuts the heads of several children since she was a child. From the first time she chewed her dog, she gradually got up, and she also practiced many times.
After decades of experience, someone should be there to open a barber shop in the village.
Her hand holding the scissors was very stable. Xu Ning asked her hair to reach her waist, but now she cut it off almost ten centimeters.
Yu Chunhua muttered: "It's better to cut it all off all of a sudden, and you can still sell it for a lot of money, but it's a waste now."
"..." Xu Ning was speechless. She didn't want to become bald.
After cutting the bangs, Yu Chunhua trimmed her bangs. The little girl's face looked pretty, white and tender, and her appearance was unique in the village. The bangs were like the middle part, which was very testable. However, Yu Chunhua didn't say it on her mouth, but after cutting it, she still felt that her granddaughter looked very beautiful, with her eyes like her, and the rest of the place looked like her.
She was quite satisfied with her skills. Didn’t the little granddaughter in front of her just let her organize it more beautifully?
Yu Chunhua never values boys over girls. She even thinks that women can be very powerful, such as herself. Her husband died at the mouth of a wild beast before her youngest daughter was born. She didn't even survive the night before she died. At that time, there was a picky mother-in-law and a paralyzed father-in-law in the bed and skinny. These two old men couldn't help with anything, but instead controlled her everywhere and kept her in a strict manner, for fear that she would not be able to defend her after becoming a widow.
She took on the burden of the whole family with her thin shoulders. Later, the famine broke out. Seeing that the family's food was getting less and less, her father-in-law learned about her with her belt one night, while her mother-in-law was getting more and more involved in the mother and son, and her eldest daughter starved to death under the harsh treatment of her.
Every child is her flesh. She is not happy to give up anyone. She will feel sorry for her dead husband. At that time, his two sons were gone, and only Xu Jianjun and his youngest daughter were left. In an era when eating Guanyin soil and eating tree bark, the family of four struggled to survive. After the days gradually improved, the vicious mother-in-law finally closed her eyes.
Before her death, she gave all the few private money in the family to her daughter, and only gave it to the house in front of Yu Chunhua and her son.
Originally, the house was in a dilapidated state, and the summer did not block the rain or the winter did not block the wind. Later, the son grew up and made money, so they renovated it. When Xu Ning was still very young, his elder sister-in-law once brought her family to their house to make autumn wind, but they were all driven away by Yu Chunhua's cold words and warned them not to come to the house in the future, and their family had nothing to do with their own room anymore.
It’s also thanks to Yu Chunhua’s behavior, otherwise the Xu family would probably be dragged to death by their aunt’s family now.
"Grandma, are my eyes very good?" Xu Ning looked at her grandmother's craftsmanship in front of the mirror and nodded with satisfaction. She still looked at Huahua's cut this hairstyle. She felt that it would not look out of style in this era. Now it seems that it is really pretty. Moreover, her craftsmanship is not mentioned. Although she is not a professional barber, she has been cutting it for decades and is very careful.
Yu Chunhua's face softened when she heard her granddaughter's shameless words, but her tone still looked very stiff, "What's so pretty?"
"Anyway, I think it's very beautiful. My mother said that my eyes look like my dad, especially beautiful." She turned around and looked at the old lady with broken hair cleaning the ground, and smiled playfully: "My dad's eyes look like grandma."
"It's useless to please me around the corner. You've been chasing this end for a long time. You can do whatever you like. I have to feed the chickens and pigs."
Xu Ning looked at the old man with a hunched and gray hair, and his heart was sour and his eyes turned red in an instant.
Taking two steps forward, she hugged the old lady's thin and deformed body from behind, put her head on the old lady's back, and whispered: "Grandma, I was ignorant before. Don't be as knowledgeable as me. I will definitely be very filial to you in the future, really."
Yu Chunhua was so embarrassed by her granddaughter that she was particularly uncomfortable and almost jumped up to take pictures of Xu Ning. However, after hearing the little girl's words, the old lady's heart suddenly became soft. She was her only granddaughter and looked like her. How could the old lady be cruel?
In the past, I could carry my children to raise them when I was suffering. Now that life is better, I can’t even torture my granddaughter. If this is the case, then I’m still a human being.
"Get up, don't delay my work." The old lady twisted twice and broke away from Xu Ning's hug. "Even if you are not filial, it is still the kind of my old Xu family."
"...Hmm!" Xu Ning was stunned for a moment, then showed a very sweet smile.
And with this bright smile, the sweet old lady's teeth were a little painful, and she felt itchy.
