Beginning of autumn in August.
After a rain, the heat gradually subsided, and the weather was much cooler, but it was still necessary to wear short sleeves.
No matter how cool it is in the late summer, there is no such thing as sitting still and sweating profusely. If you go out, you still need to avoid the sun and walk in the shade under the roadside trees.
In the past few days, Xu Qing was full of energy, walked with the wind, and was more energetic. She raised her hand to say hello to Uncle Zhao.
As the saying goes, people are in high spirits on happy occasions, does Xu Qing have any happy occasions
Seeing Xu Qing drifting away, his back disappearing at the corner of the street, Uncle Zhao withdrew his thoughts, took a sip of the chrysanthemum tea on the table, and turned around to see two girls walking over.
"I just saw Xu Qing go out, are you not together?"
"No, he has his business."
Gong Ping wore a small beige coat with a short skirt covering her hips underneath. Her long legs were smooth, and she wore a pair of high-heeled sandals. She made a rattling sound when she walked, and her whole body was sexy. Different from her specially matched ones, Jiang He is wearing long trousers and short sleeves, stepping on a pair of small white shoes, elegantly looking like a female college student who is just about to go to class, the only similarity is probably that the bundles are swaying gently with the footsteps smooth long hair.
After walking for a while, Gong Ping turned her head, looked at the gate, and asked, "Do you know each other very well?"
"I guess...Xu Qing knows him very well." Jiang He didn't deny it. She had seen Xu Qing sitting there drinking tea with Uncle Zhao before. Xu Qing will also play with Uncle Zhao's grandson."
"No wonder, I said how could he greet you." Gong Ping understood.
Jiang He smiled, and looked back casually, she is more familiar with this place than Gong Ping now, probably no one can guess that she has only been in this world for a year.
Yes, all year.
In some people's eyes, she has lived here for a long, long time.
The afternoon sun was a bit hot, and Gong Ping was already regretting not getting out on the balance bike after only a short walk.
After seeing Jiang He's balance bike, she immediately bought one, and after only practicing for a day, she became very familiar with it. She wished she could step on it every day, but Jiang He only likes to step on it when she goes fishing.
"Who told you to wear high heels." Jiang He looked down and looked at the high-heeled sandals on her feet.
Xu Qing also bought a pair for her, but she has never worn them. The design is very anti-human. She tried it and couldn't even walk.
If it wasn't for the fact that people often saw people wearing them on the street, Jiang He felt that he would mistakenly think that they were used for some perverted things—Xu Qing liked to let her wear all kinds of shoes.
"You can't just buy it and throw it at home, it's so beautiful." Gong Ping liked her sandals very much, stopped before the traffic lights, and twirled around on tiptoe.
"You are conservative like a little daughter-in-law in the 1990s."
"Was it conservative in the 1990s? It seems that many people danced disco at that time, and a group of people crowded together..."
Jiang He imitated it a few times, and shrugged his shoulders expressionlessly, making Gong Ping couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Who did you learn from?" Gong Ping found it very interesting.
"I haven't learned it, I just watched it a lot..." Jiang He thought for a while, but he really didn't know where he saw it.
Oh, it turns out that this is Xu Qing's feeling. He gradually learned a lot of things, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't remember where he read it.
I can only roughly remember... It seems that I saw a certain movie, and then I was interested in a part of it, and then I expanded my browsing, searched on the Internet, and my knowledge expanded unconsciously.
Being dragged by Xu Qing to watch so many movies, and having his legs touched for so long, is indeed rewarding.
The traffic light changed color quickly, Gong Ping took Jiang He's arm, looked around and walked towards the opposite side.
Crossing the road, the two of them went to the door of the barber shop opposite - it shouldn't be called a barber shop, because its name is a hair salon.
Similar names include styling design studios and so on. In fact, they are all barbershops. The more expensive the name, the more expensive it is. It costs 800 yuan to have hair in a hairdressing salon, and 800 yuan to a barber shop. I feel completely different in my heart.
Jiang He hesitated for a moment. If it was her own, it would be fine to find a small barber shop, but now that Gong Ping is with her, it is not easy to drag Gong Ping to find a simple one.
The auto-sensing glass door opened when the two approached. When they entered, several people were busy and there were still a few vacant seats. A boy with short blue hair was greeted.
I don't know if they tried it on themselves before getting their hair done, or they advertised themselves as a living example. Anyway, looking around the store, there was only one barber with normal short black hair.
"Dye your hair together?" Gong Ping brushed her long hair in front of her body, pinched the ends to watch, and suggested to Jiang He.
"Hair dye?"
Jiang He took the hairstyle manual on the table and looked at the colorful samples carefully.
Xu Qing mentioned that she could try dyeing it, and if she didn't like it, she would dye it back. She was willing to try this kind of thing, but she didn't like it after reading the manual, and her black hair was the best, so she shook her head. Pass the manual to Gong Ping.
As for the recommendation from teacher Tony next door, she didn't want to accept it.
The hair is her own, except for Xu Qing, she doesn't want to listen to other people's suggestions - Gong Ping is a friend, her suggestion can also be considered, other people forget it.
"This caramel orange brown is calm and low-key, and it can be white..."
Teacher Tony followed the booklet to Gong Ping's side, but was interrupted by Gong Ping as soon as he opened his mouth: "Am I dark?"
"How can it be, that is to say, this hair color."
"It won't be much different from the dyed one, right?"
"It's all the real thing, don't worry, it's all dyed and glued on to the real hair. If you mix it with other dyed colors, there may be a slight difference..."
"Okay, that's it!" Gong Ping's casual and playful attitude surprised Jiang He, and couldn't help but said, "You don't choose carefully anymore?"
"Don't choose, it's good to see this."
"Beauty has eyes!" Teacher Tony gave a thumbs up and looked at Jiang He again.
"I do not need."
Jiang He just turned her head and saw the price list, three hundred and eighty-eight to change the color of her hair, she felt a pain in her chest just thinking about it.
Not to mention there is no color she likes.
"Let's go together? How about I try it first and make a decision after you see it after dyeing." Gong Ping urged.
"I think black is better."
Jiang He held his long hair in front of him and twirled it with his fingers, not to be fooled by her.
…
"No information at all?"
"right."
"Don't remember anything? Where is home?"
"Since I can remember, I have been following the old lady who scavenged waste. The two of them ran around, sleeping on bridges and roads... Sometimes they destroyed the appearance of the city and were kicked out."
Xu Qing took a big apple and gnawed it in his mouth. It was impossible to make up more information about Jiang He, the simpler the better, the more he said, the more mistakes he made.
"Not at all, it's not easy." Xu Wenbin frowned, "You don't have any information, and you can't even do the census."
"Dad, I've considered all the ways that I can think of normally, and I'm looking for you to be able to..."
"What can I do? Can I still break the law?" Xu Wenbin glanced at him.
"..."
"..."
The father and son looked at each other. After a while, Xu Wenbin waved his hands and said in disgust, "Think about it carefully, is there anything you missed... Forget it, let's ask Jiang He directly."
"I really didn't miss anything, I've already told you everything I can tell you."
"That means, is there anything else you can't tell?"
Xu Wenbin asked, Xu Qing shrugged and said nothing, which made Xu Wenbin feel so tired.
That's right, if there is something that you can't tell, then you definitely can't say it. If you just say it casually after asking, is he stupid or Xu Qing stupid
Whether there is or not, it is a nonsense question.
"What important national affairs are you two discussing inside?" Zhou Suzhi knocked on the door of the study.
Xu Qing took a bite of the apple, it was crunchy and sweet, and said loudly: "Discuss when Jiang He and I will get married."
"what?"
Zhou Suzhi paused outside, and opened the door directly: "What are you two talking about hiding?"
"It's not like buying a house to get married, you have to buy a house..."
"cough!"
Xu Wenbin coughed in dissatisfaction, Zhou Suzhi turned her eyes around the father and son, and said, "I don't have any money, you discuss it with your father... who is that, is Jiang He at home? Why don't you go back at night, you call her Come and eat together."
"OK."
Xu Qing responded straightforwardly, took out her mobile phone and said, "I asked her, it's been a long time since I came here for dinner."
Zhou Suzhi glanced at Xu Qing and Xu Wenbin, then turned and left the room, letting them continue talking without getting involved.
The door was closed again, Xu Wenbin looked at Xu Qing and felt uncomfortable.
This kid did it on purpose, he wasn't short of money at all, he was just idle, so if he just mentioned it, then Zhou Suzhi would definitely listen to him at night.
Just blow it up, if there is such a thing, you can refuse or agree.
It's not annoying to say, but there are many things out of nowhere... It's just idle!
Xu Wenbin's face was dark, his fingers were rubbing against the belt, wishing he could go back to the time when Xu Qing was rebellious.
"Dad, those students of yours always have... huh?" Xu Qing finished eating the apple, stood up with the core in his hand, and checked that the trash can hadn't been thrown into it.
"Why don't you say hello, and I'll bring something to visit myself."
"Isn't that why I helped you speak up?"
Xu Wenbin said angrily, really, it doesn't matter what you are born with, what you learn the day after tomorrow is all fate.
Mingming and Qin Hao grew up together, that guy Qin Hao can't beat a fart with three sticks, this guy...
Seeing his appearance, Xu Qing knew that he had acquiesced. He went out with the apple core, threw it into the trash can in the living room, and took out a paper towel from the table to wipe his hands.
On WeChat, Jiang He had already sent back a message, saying that when he got here, he also attached a photo, only the back of his head, with long brown hair hanging loose.
Xu Qing zoomed in and looked very surprised: "Did you dye it?"
Jiang He: "Does it look good?"
Xu Qing: "It looks good, it suits you very well, the brown hair looks white"
Jiang He: "Why do you speak like a man with a haircut?"
Jiang He: "You mean I'm black?"
Xu Qing: "It can look whiter"
He didn't expect Jiang He to dye his hair. It has nothing to do with whether it looks good or not. He is just happy that Jiang He tried to change his hairstyle and hair color.
Chatting with Jiang He, while turning on the TV, I found a channel to watch. After about an hour, I received the news that she opened the door through WeChat. Xu Qing ran to open the door. I was stunned.
"Jiang He is here?" Zhou Suzhi was about to go out to buy groceries, and temporarily installed her mobile phone. When she came out to the living room and saw Jiang He, she immediately smiled.
Last year, she felt that Jiang He looked good, and she felt comfortable looking at him. Now, a year later, it seems that the longer he grows, the better he looks, and his whole body is much plumper.
"Hello, Auntie."
"Well, sit down." Zhou Suzhi looked at her carefully, and she was indeed getting better. Before, she felt a little wooden and unnatural, but now she can't feel it.
When Zhou Suzhi went out, Jiang He came to Xu Qing's side, shaking his hair and smiling at him.
"You think I dyed my hair?"
"The photo you sent was just the back of the head, so of course I thought it was you." Xu Qing took out his phone again, looked at the back of the head, and then at Jiang He's black hair, "Why didn't you dye it?"
Jiang He took the ends of her hair and wrapped them around her fingers a few times, then suddenly let go.
"I don't have a favorite color, I still think black is the best." She glanced at Xu Qing and said with a smile, "That was dyed by Pingping, isn't it pretty?"
"No, I think black is the best, and it suits you very well." Xu Qing changed her words, her girlfriend didn't dye her hair, so of course she can't praise the one who dyed her hair.
"Tch, just now I said that one looks good, and that one suits me."
"How do I know it's that old woman... Pingping, you didn't say that the two of you went together?"
"Well, she wanted me to have the same dye as hers, but I refused."
Jiang He flipped his hair behind his head twice with both hands to let it fall down evenly. This time the haircut was just a short cut and then thinned. It cost more than 80 yuan, which is not worth it.
"Let's buy a pair of scissors, will you cut it for me later?"
"Don't be ridiculous, how can I do this?" Xu Qing said.
"I thought you knew everything..." Jiang He tapped his phone, and slowly approached Xu Qing. Xu Qing embraced her and looked at the products on her treasure together.
"Cough..."
Xu Wenbin coughed lightly. Xu Qing, who was hearing how Jiang He's hair had changed its fragrance, was pushed away by Jiang He before he could react, put away his phone, and turned back.
"Hello, Uncle."
"Dad, I'll buy you some fat sea next time, that's good for your throat."
"Well, buy more."
Xu Wenbin nodded, holding a large teacup and sitting on the chair next to him, his eyes swept across Jiang He's face, and then looked at the TV.
Xu Qing squeezed Jiang He's hand to signal her to relax, and then took out her mobile phone from her trouser pocket, "Didn't you just look at the scissors, I think you can buy a clipper so that you can cut my hair, just push it over like that gone."
"it's not good?"
Jiang He looked at Xu Wenbin, then at Xu Qing. The father and son both had crew cuts, which looked alike, but Xu Qing always had a smile on his face, not as serious as Xu Wenbin, so his temperament was quite different.
