"Okay!" Ruan Haoyan responded briskly, quickly took out a plastic comb from the toothbrush jar on a low corner cabinet in the corner of the wall and handed it to Tian Xinmiao.

Tian Xinmiao took the comb, swept around the hut, and saw a square stool, so he pointed his finger in passing, "You sit on the stool, otherwise my sister-in-law won't be able to reach it." ”

According to her estimate of her height, it should be about 1.65 meters, but she didn't expect that the little girl's height was not much lower than herself, and she should be about 1.5 meters.

Ruan Haoyan obediently sat on the stool and removed the rubber band that stuck her head by herself.

Tian Xinmiao held his hair in his left hand and a comb in his right hand, quickly combing it up.

For many years, she longed for her to have a daughter, to comb her hair like this, to prepare a beautiful little dress for her, but she looked forward to it, and in the end, she said that she was a daughter, and even her son was gone.

If it weren't for the limited time today, she really wanted to comb the little girl in front of her with a beautiful hairstyle.

Tian Xinmiao used the leather band handed over by Ruan Haoyan to tie her hair into a ponytail high, and then gently patted her shoulder.

"Alright, get up, let me see how it goes."

Ruan Haoyan stood up obediently, then turned around and smiled mischievously at Tian Xinmiao, "Sister-in-law combs much better than eldest sister, and she doesn't pull out her hair at all." ”

Tian Xinmiao looked at Ruan Haoyan with a smile, and pinned one or two broken hairs that couldn't be tied into the rubber bands and scattered on the side of her face to the back of her ears, "Then my sister-in-law will help you comb your hair every day, okay?" ”

Suddenly, Tian Xinmiao had an inexplicable urge in her heart to take care of Ruan Haoyan in front of her as her daughter.

"Good!" Ruan Haoyan answered without thinking.

"Alright, it's time to go." Tian Xinmiao swept Ruan Haoyan's wrist intentionally or unintentionally, and only then did she understand why the Wu family asked her to get up and go to school.

She already knew that it was 1986, and today was the 18th day of the fourth month of the solar calendar, the 10th day of the third month of the lunar calendar, and Friday.

In this era, watches, like TVs, are still a luxury, most people have an old-fashioned grandfather clock to check the time, and people with better conditions will also buy their children an electronic watch with a price of about 20 yuan.

I remember that her first electronic watch was when she was in high school, and her grandmother saved up for a long time to sell it to her, which should have been in 1989, when the electronic watch was about ten yuan.

When Tian Xinmiao's thoughts were flipping, Ruan Haoyan had already carried the army-green satchel with books.

"Sister-in-law, I'm going to school." Ruan Haoyan took Tian Xinmiao's hand and woke her up.

"Well, sister-in-law will send you out."

"Hmm!" Ruan Haoyan happily responded, took the initiative to take Tian Xinmiao's hand, and walked towards the outside of the house.

When she arrived in the courtyard, Ruan Haoyan shouted to Wu and Ruan Yongsheng towards the hall, "Father, mother, I went to school." ”

"Got it, come back early after school in the afternoon." Wu Shi responded, and then looked at the two people standing in the courtyard holding hands from the window, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curved.

"Daddy, I think my daughter-in-law here seems to like Haoyan quite a lot."

"Well, I think Haoyan also likes her sister-in-law, that's good, that's good."

At the very least, the family will not be like other people's families, always unable to resolve the lawsuit between the daughter-in-law and the daughter and be in a dilemma.

Tian Xinmiao sent Ruan Haoyan out of the gate, watched her trot down the small slope in front of the door with her schoolbag on her back, and then walked along the road in the middle of the village towards the middle of the village.

It wasn't until Ruan Haoyan's back disappeared after turning left at the big cross in the middle of the village that Tian Xinmiao turned around and walked back with some reluctance.
