Chapter 32: The Untrue Self

After getting the news from her friend Zhong Ling, Xie Shuyao became even more worried, but Xie Shuyao, who was powerless, could only pray silently in her heart, hoping that Zhong Ling would be fine. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Regarding Zhong Ling's father being greedy for Japanese money, Xie Shuyao couldn't understand and didn't believe it. Xie Shuyao often went to Zhong Ling's house for dinner because Zhong's father cooked delicious food, so he knew the situation of Zhong Ling's family very well; Zhong Ling's mother died when she was very young, and her father has not remarried for so many years. According to Zhong Ling, her father used to love her mother very much, and every time she returned to her hometown in Hunan, Zhong's father would cook for her mother the dishes she loved to eat before her death, and would accompany her mother there all night at her grave.

In Xie Shuyao's impression, Father Zhong, who was dressed in a long shirt with a straight waist, looked very tall and decent. In addition to his daily work, Father Zhong is idle at home to study how to cook, cook for his daughter, wash clothes, and clean the house. So in Xie Shuyao's impression, Father Zhong is a very good person, not only cooking good dishes, but also treating people very easily. Xie Shuyao didn't think that Zhong Ling's family was short of money, because Xie Shuyao knew that Zhong Ling would have ten yuan of pocket money every month, while his pocket money was only one dollar per month, which was only enough to buy a few chocolates.

Xie Shuyao, who returned to Jingshan East Street, saw her mother at the door of her house from a distance, constantly wandering back and forth. Seeing that her daughter finally came back, Xie's mother blamed her daughter a little, how she was worried about her daughter's safety.

In fact, Xie Shuyao also understood in her heart that her mother was afraid that she would run outside again. Xie Shuyao, who didn't want to listen to her mother's nagging anymore, told her mother the reason why she came back so late today; Of course, Xie Shuyao was reluctant to tell his mother about his encounter with Xiao Ziming, because Xie Shuyao felt that if he told his mother about it, it would hinder his future plans, so he concealed his encounter with Xiao Ziming.

After Xie's mother knew the reason why her daughter came back late, she stopped nagging and relaxed, and then just persuaded Xie Shuyao a few words of simple comfort, telling her daughter not to think so much, and she could make better friends in the future.

Xie Shuyao, who was a little lost, ignored her mother's comfort, and ignored Bai Ruolin and Xie Chen, who were fiddling with the gramophone in the living room, just lying on a recliner in the courtyard and thinking quietly.

After a while, his father, who had gone to school to look for him, also returned, and the family started to eat.

After the meal, after the mother handed over the task of cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks to the father and son, Xie Shuyao and Bai Ruolin were pulled into the back room by Xie's mother together.

Xie Shuyao saw Mother Xie take out a wide variety of these cosmetics from the dresser. Xie Shuyao naturally knew what her mother had in mind, and when she closed her eyes and thought of the promise she made to her mother in the morning, Xie Shuyao's heart would regret her compromise in the morning. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't leave now, Xie Shuyao really wanted to leave this golden silk birdcage and fly freely above the blue sky.

suppressed the idea that he wanted to soar, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Xie Mu looking at him a little angrily, Xie Shuyao didn't understand how he made his mother angry, and asked a little stupidly, "Mom, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Xie Shuyao, I told you in the morning, if you don't want to put on makeup, your mother won't force you." Mother Xie glared at her daughter and said angrily.

Xie Shuyao heard her mother say this again, frowned and explained helplessly: "Mom-when did I say I didn't want to wear makeup?" Am I not here? ”

Hearing her daughter say this, Mother Xie became even more angry, and asked coldly with a straight face: "Then you just closed your eyes and didn't want to listen to me, why are you?" ”

Xie Shuyao took a deep breath, then explained to her mother with a wry smile: "Mom-Zhong Ling is gone, I miss her a little!" ”

After listening to her daughter's explanation, Mother Xie also thought about it, and no longer continued to keep a straight face, but persuaded her daughter: "Hey-don't think about it, it's useless to think too much." ”

Xie Shuyao had no choice but to pretend to listen to Mother Xie's words, nodded, and didn't think about anything else.

"Okay, Yaoyao, I'll show you this lipstick I bought for you, this, it's called Danqi, I'll show you." As she spoke, Mother Xie opened the red box, took out a red and black lipstick from it and handed it to her daughter.

Xie Shuyao took the lipstick handed by her mother, took the lipstick in her hand that was not big red and black, took a deep breath, and then gently opened the top lid, gently turned the bottom, and the pink lipstick came out like bamboo shoots.

Bai Ruolin saw her cousin's cautious movements, and said to Xie Shuyao with some amusement: "Shuyao, you know that when I first bought lipstick in Shanghai, I was like you at that time, and I was very careful to get it out. I was reluctant to use it, but unfortunately I lost it after a few days. Alas, I still feel sorry for me, and that cost me five dollars! ”

Seeing that her daughter was at a loss for what to do with the lipstick, Mother Xie shook her head and took the lipstick back from her daughter's hand with a smile, twisted the fingertip-sized lipstick, and carefully taught her daughter the skills of applying lipstick while helping her daughter apply it.

Xie Shuyao, who had finished applying the lipstick, subconsciously licked her lips that felt a little oily, and felt that the tip of her tongue seemed to lick the taste of wax, Xie Shuyao thought that the lipstick would be a little sweet!

Mother Xie saw her daughter licking her lips secretly, and asked funny, "Didn't you tell you not to lick your lips?" Is this lipstick good? ”

Xie Shuyao opened her mouth, always feeling a little uncomfortable, and asked with some concern to Xie Mu on the side: "I just can't help but want to lick my lips, will this lick too much will it be poisoned?" ”

Mother Xie and Bai Ruolin looked at each other and smiled, and then comforted Xie Shuyao: "You won't be poisoned, but if you lick too much, the lipstick will be eaten by you!" ”

Xie Shuyao, who was disgusted, suddenly thought of eating and drinking, so he asked Xie Mu: "From now on, what should I do if I eat and drink water or something?" ”

"Who told you to wear lipstick every day? Do you have to put on makeup and go out every day? Mother Xie scolded amusedly.

Hearing Mother Xie say this, Xie Shuyao relaxed, it turned out that she didn't want to wear makeup every day! Xie Shuyao, who breathed a sigh of relief, said calmly: "Mom, hurry up and get it!" ”

Mother Xie shook her head, and then asked Bai Ruolin to help Xie Shuyao dress up with her.

So, Xie Shuyao was like a Barbie doll, and was constantly dressed up by Xie Mu and Bai Ruolin, rubbing powder and drawing eyebrows...... Busy. And Xie Shuyao closed her eyes and recuperated, letting Xie Mu and her cousin toss, and after a while, Xie Mu and Bai Ruolin were finally busy.

Mother Xie led Xie Shuyao to the mirror, the person in the mirror, pink makeup and jade, as delicate as a delicate flower, and as pure as the bright moon, it was really beautiful! It was the first time Xie Shuyao saw such a delicate self, and she was a little stupid for a while!

Xie Shuyao reached out and touched his pink lips, and the person in the mirror also touched his lips. Xie Shuyao suddenly put down her hand and said softly to Mother Xie on the side: "Mom, I think I am too unreal in the mirror!" ”

"Is it too pretty? You'll get used to it later. Let's go out and show your dad and your brother how they react. After reading it, I have to teach you how to remove your makeup. Mother Xie patted her daughter's head and said with relief.

Xie Shuyao knocked on the place where she had just been slapped by Xie's mother, and it was a little strange that she didn't feel anything. Then I felt that my brain was empty, and I seemed to have lost the ability to think. Taken out of the back room by her mother in a daze, Xie Shuyao was a little confused, seeing the surprised reactions of Father Xie and Xie Chen, Xie Shuyao didn't understand what they were surprised about? Why are they staring at themselves? These people are so strange! Hey? Who are they?

Suddenly, Xie Shuyao felt that the land was spinning, and the strong sense of dizziness made Xie Shuyao unable to stand firmly, and collapsed directly on the ground in the living room.
