"Any more... It's too short......"

The little girl's voice was about to cry.

Hua Shi put down the scissors in his hand and tried to communicate with her, his tone was calm: "Little...?" Can you tell me why you don't want to cut my hair short? ”

Hua Xiao listened to the gentle and gentle voice close to her ears, buried her head, and held back the tears in her eyes.

She shook her head, reluctant to speak......

Hua Shi pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Are you afraid that your hair will become ugly after cutting it short?" ”

Hua Xiao buried her head and still shook her head.

Just when Hua Shi was thinking about how to continue to communicate, the little girl suddenly came out with a choked voice:

"I... I just don't want to wash my hair, and I don't want to cut my hair......"

As for why she didn't want to, Hua Xiao didn't know what the reason was, her emotions were suddenly out of control, and tears couldn't help but fall......

Hua Shi frowned: "There should always be a reason why I don't want to, right?" ”

Hua Xiao shook her head: "No ......"

I just don't want to, for no reason, I'm just used to it, I don't want to make changes......

At this point, Hua Shi probably guessed a little, her face was calm, and her voice was a little strong: "I have to cut my hair short today, and wash it two or three times, if you don't say it, I will let you agree." ”

This hair is messy to this extent, and I don't take care of it, and now I'm still young, and I don't like to clean it, and it's better to change it, and when I grow up, these bad things, and I want to change it, it's difficult.

The bad habits that have accumulated over the years have accumulated over time, and these guys have been malnourished for many years, and they still have dirty hair, and there is a nest of lice and fleas in it to suck blood......

Hua Shi originally wanted to listen to the wishes of the two, and after a little persuasion, seeing Hua Xiao crying and refusing to cut, and she would not coax people, the little girl would cry again, and she was afraid that she would really have to compromise.

Thinking about it, Hua Shi picked up the scissors again, compared them to the length of his neck, and before he started, he still looked at Hua Xiao, who was crying, and said in a hard voice: "Then I cut it?" ”

Hua Xiao didn't speak, but her tears flowed more fiercely.

This scene reminded Hanashi of when he was young......

At that time, my sister had leukemia, and during chemotherapy, her hair fell out, and in order to make her happy, my mother shaved her head and grabbed her.

She was still young at the time, she was not sensible, and she didn't know why her sister was sick, so when she was asked to cut her head and her hair was shaved, she cried fiercely and violently, and was beaten up to be honest.

Thinking about it, the hand that cut the hair did not pause at all, the rusty scissors edge, clicked a few times, and after a while, the thin and soft hair was cut short.

Hua Xiao's tears seemed to flow more fiercely, but she didn't cry out loud.

You can feel her trembling shoulders and low sadness.

Hua Shi put the cut hair in a pile, and began to scratch the lice on her head.

It stands to reason that there are no fleas in the hair, fleas only grow on clothes and bodies, and if there are fleas on the head, that is, there are more fleas on the clothes on the body.

Hua Xiao was wearing a new dress that had just been made not long ago, only half a month younger, and the cuffs and collar were already black and yellow......

The more I looked down, the more I felt that I was doing the right thing.

If you are soft-hearted and don't cut this hair, and if you drag it on, it will only be even more unsightly......

In the quiet courtyard, only the click of flowers waving scissors remains.

Hua Xiao cried and cried, as if she had accepted her fate, and her crying gradually stopped.

Hua Li, who was standing far away, looked this way, with a tangled expression on his face.

Hua Xiao was arrested and cut his hair, so he definitely couldn't escape......

Hua Li thought about it, and unconsciously raised his hand and gently touched the top of his hair.

Flower said that their heads were covered with blood-sucking bugs...... It's not that he doesn't have feelings, but compared to the feeling of insects gnawing on his head, he often feels hungry on weekdays, and the two are in contrast.

The stomach can't be filled, who cares about those, besides, for so long, the feeling of not hurting or itching, I have long been used to it......

There is no shampoo, no soap, and she has never seen honey locust things in Hua's house, on weekdays, Li asks them to wash their clothes and quilts, all of which are thrown into wooden basins, beaten with wooden sticks, and violently washed, so naturally they have never used honey locust things.

However, she remembers that there are many honey locust trees planted on the road in the village, and most of the villagers also pick the honey locust trees from the honey locust trees to wash their hair and wash their hair.

However, the honey locust trees do not reach maturity until after May.

In fact, honey locust, that is, soap beans, mature seeds, also known as soaphorn, are a good choice for washing and washing hair in a limited environment.

But now she didn't find the soap corner in Hua's house, so she could only use warm water and rinse Hua Xiao several times, until her hair didn't feel so greasy, and then she stopped.

"Alright, take a cloth and dry the water yourself."

Hua Shi patted the little girl on the shoulder with her back to her, took a piece of cloth on the side, wrapped her wet little short hair, and signaled that she could stand up.

Hua Xiao sucked her stuffy red nose and stood up with a twist.

I don't want to admit it, but after cutting my hair short, and under the fiddling of flowers, my head seems to be a lot lighter, and it's so comfortable......

The originally aggrieved and sad mood was awkwardly smoothed down after some trembling.

walked to Hua Xiao, who was on the side, quietly raised her hand, wiped her wet eyes, and her mood slowly eased.

Hua Shi has been paying attention to Hua Xiao's emotional changes, and after seeing her stand up and walk away, her mood has obviously eased, her eyebrows and eyes have stretched, and she has secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she was hard-hearted and cut it, she still carefully observed Hua Xiao's mood changes, but whenever her expression collapsed and she showed extreme resistance, Hua Shi was quick to deal with.

Fortunately, Hua Xiao was not stubborn to that extent......

"Huali, it's your turn."

After emptying the sewage from the wooden pot and refilling a large pot, he turned his head to look at the corner of the flower that was cowering under the eaves, and beckoned and shouted.

Hearing his name called, Hua Li's expression was a little stiff, he gritted his teeth, and walked over with heavy steps as if he were dead.

Flower time: ......

It's not like going into battle to kill the enemy, and it's gone, as for this expression......

Waiting for Hanari to sit down slowly, Hanashi looked at his thick hair and fell into deep thought for a moment.

"Huali, why don't I cut your head an inch?"

Hua Shi paused, raised his hand to comb his messy hair, and said.

The length of this hair is on par with Hua Xiao's.

Perhaps because of the times, in this place, people at this time, regardless of men, women, and children, will have long hair.

Seven or eight-year-old children will tie two round buns, and most girls will tie two pigtails; Teenagers will tie their hair into a crown, and girls will comb their hair into a bun, or tie it with a hairband; Many married women will wrap most of their hair in cloth and hang it back. The old woman would wrap her entire hair in a cloth and wrap it carefully......

Of course, these are not all like this, just like the Li family, who is over half a hundred years old and has gray hair, he still likes to comb his hair in a bun, and fix his hair with wooden hairpins or silver hairpins, and he does not wrap all his hair like other old women in the village.

Hua Li listened to what Hua Shi said, thought for a while, and then hesitated to ask, "What is an inch...?" ”

He'd never heard that before......

Hanataki explains, "It's just cutting the hair very short, leaving only a little bit of sharp hair roots. ”

When Hua Li heard this, he began to shake his head violently without thinking about it.

"Don't?" When the flower is in a deep voice, I can't hear joy and anger.

Hua Li shook his head for a moment.

Because he was sitting when he was choked with flowers, he even felt that Rumang was on his back, nodding his head, and shaking his head was not.

"Are you sure you don't want to?" Hua Shi asked again.

Hua Li's stiff voice: "I—I'm not sure ......"

Hua Shi was almost amused by his words, coughed lightly, and said in a covered voice: "A manly man, he can bend and stretch, but he just cut his hair short, you say yes." ”

In the final analysis, Hua Shi is a pure modern thought, not happy with that set of body hair and skin, by the parents, especially Hua Li is still a seven or eight year old boy, cut a short hair, three or two months can grow back.

Cut the head at once, scrub it with water a few times, and you can uproot lice and fleas in two or three times and clean them cleanly.

Therefore, after Hua Shi saw that Hua Li was cutting his hair short and was not as resistant as Hua Xiao, he thought that it would be better to cut his hair an inch.

Huali lowered her head and didn't dare to make a sound.

But it is silently resisting......

Hua Shi paused and decided to do what he liked, and then said: "If you agree with me to cut your hair, I will let Xiaobai sleep with you for three nights, how about it?" ”

Hua Li's face turned pale, his expression turned back seriously, and he looked at her with bright eyes: "Really? ”

Under his blazing gaze, Hua Shi nodded affirmatively: "A gentleman is hard to chase after a horse." ”

Hua Li shook his teeth and said inch by inch: "I agreed in five nights!" ”

After knowing that he couldn't escape, this clever ghost also knew to seek more benefits for himself......

"You're still bargaining." When he spent the flowers, he couldn't cry or laugh, "Okay, five nights, don't cry your nose after cutting." ”

"I won't cry!"

Hua Li retorted unconvinced, but there was a little smug on her face.

You know, although he likes small animals very much, he doesn't like small animals......

Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai, every time they see him, they hide far away, and he can't touch them if he wants to......

But Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai listen to Hua Shi's words very much, as long as Hua Shi agrees, Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai will obediently let him touch it, damn it.

Hua Shi saw that he was in a good mood, and knew that he was on the right track.

Although I don't know why kittens and puppies have a fatal attraction to Huali, it just works......

After the two reached an agreement, Hua Li also cooperated with her movements, and Hua Shi also omitted the action of catching lice, and cut the messy hair full of hair in three or two clicks, leaving only a short stubble, and it was still a little prickly to the touch.

When he spent the time, he washed and scrubbed him with warm water, and then wiped him with a cloth, and said, "Okay, go and call your second brother and Xiaoying." ”

Hua Li covered the cloth wrapped around his head, then stood up, looked at the quiet hall, and said, "The second brother is not at home, so he went out early in the morning." ”

Hua Xiao, who was sitting on a stool under the eaves, had already wiped her hair half-dry, and after her emotions calmed down, there was nothing unacceptable about her short-cut hair.

Hearing Hanashi's words, she said, "I'll go and bring Xiaoying out." ”

So saying, he went into the house.

Hua Li saw that she was gone, so she didn't follow again, but looked at Hua Shi, I don't know what she suddenly thought, lowered her voice, and said when she rushed to Hua:

"I told you, Dad also went out early this morning, do you know why?"

After Hua Shi poured the sewage in the wooden basin clean, he heard Hua Li's mysterious words and turned his head to look.

met this guy's tight and expectant eyes, as if urging her to ask herself quickly......

"Why?" Hua Shi asked.

In fact, she is not interested in things that are far away.

Especially in the past month or so, Hua Ciyuan has been riding on the head of the Li family, showing off his martial arts, as if he had won the battle to turn over.

Looking at his arrogant appearance, it seems that he is very sure of the results of the examination, and he put up the shelf in advance......

The key is that the Li family is also willing to hold it, and it is not difficult to imagine that if the flower father is really lifted, I am afraid that this flower family is the Li family who speaks with the big head......

Hua Li immediately said: "Because today is the day of the release of the list, on January 16, Xie Wanyuan told me that he usually studies in the academy, so he knows all this." ”

Without waiting for Hua Shi to speak, Hua Li lowered his voice a little lower, and then said: "I see that she has been in the house all morning, and she has never come out, as if she doesn't know that today is the time to release the list, and my father didn't mean to tell her, he ran out just after dawn......"

When Hua Li said this, his expression was a little puzzled.

Hua Shi blinked and asked, "How do you know so clearly?" ”

Hua Li scratched his wet hair, felt that it was fun to prick his hands, and unconsciously touched it again, "In the morning, when the second brother got up, I also woke up, and soon after hearing that my father went out, the second brother also went out, I thought about it, what Xie Wanyuan said to me yesterday, I remembered that today is the day of the release of the list, so I know." ”

When he said it, he was still a little proud of his cleverness.

Hua Shi said to him: "Little clever ghost." ”

There are also some doubts in my heart.

Hua Ci went out early, probably to the place at the entrance of the village, waiting to see the list, but why did Hua Yu go out so early...? As soon as he walked away, he followed out with his back foot......

Hua Xiao pulled out the little flower shadow who was sleeping in a daze, interrupting Hua Shi's deep thoughts.

After the little one had eaten breakfast, he retreated back into the house by himself and went back to sleep.

You can see that he is sleeping soundly, and his face is full of pressed red marks.

Hua Xiao pushed Xiaohuaying and motioned for him to go to Hua Shi.

The little one was pushed over to Hanashi and yawned, not knowing what to do.

Hua Shi's gaze fell on his unkempt hair, which looked less than Hua Xiao and Hua Li's hair, shorter, and softer.

Male dolls, save trouble, cut into inches just right, and then pay attention to cleaning and care, there will be no more worms.

Hua Shi stretched out his hand, grabbed his little fleshy hand, and asked seriously, "Xiaoying, do you want to cut your head?" It's your fourth brother's hair. ”

She said, gesturing in the direction of Hua Li.

Hua Li also cooperatively took down the piece of cloth, revealing his small head.

Xiaohuaying's slow half-beat movements, like a small sloth, only turned around half-loudly to see Huali's short tied hair.

He pursed his lips tightly, his expression looked a little serious, and when he looked at the flower, he shook his head and refused.

Flower asked, "Why not?" ”

Little Flower Shadow said slowly, "Ugly. ”

Hua Shi paused, and then looked at Hua Li: "Is it ugly?" ”

She thinks it's okay, but she hasn't seen the hairstyle of the inch head for too long, it looks a little strange, it's not ugly, the short hair looks much cuter than the messy and little beggar before.

"Hmm."

However, Hanakage nodded affirmatively.

Hua Shi paused, trying to coax him: "But your hair is very dirty now, so dirty that it is covered with little worms, and they are all drinking your blood. ”

At this point, the little guy still looked unmoved, his face was tense, and his serious expression did not change at all.

Hanatoki continued: "What you ate was just turned around in your stomach, and before you could taste it, it was absorbed by the little worms on your head. ”

Speaking of eating, Xiaohuaying's expression became obviously a little more serious, and her brows were furrowed.

Hua Shi's main focus is to be serious, nonsense: "That is to say, although you eat it, although you eat it, it is not yours, and all the nutrients are sucked by the little insects." ”

Xiao Huaying didn't understand a large part of Hua Shi's words, but he understood: the insects on his head will snatch food from him!

Hua Shi stiffened his face and asked again: "Have you just eaten enough recently, and it didn't take long for you to feel hungry again?" ”

The little one's eyes lit up, pursed his lips, and nodded.

Hua Shi forced a smile and said in a suppressed voice: "That's it, it's all because your head is covered with small insects, and they are secretly sucking your nutrients." ”

When Xiaohuaying heard this, she bared her teeth, her eyes were fierce, and she reached out and patted her messy hair, trying to slap the worm on her head to death like this.

"It's useless, you have to cut your head and your hair is gone, so that the worms have no place to live, and they will all die." Hua Shi shook his head and said.

Little Flower Shadow looked up at her.

Hua Shi asked again: "Now, are you willing to cut your hair?" ”

The little guy pouted and nodded in response, "Okay... Let's do it! ”

When Xiaohuaying turned her back to her and sat on the low stool in front of her, Huashi couldn't hold back, and a shallow smile leaked from her eyes.

It's still young, so it's easy to deceive a little......

Hua Xiao and Hua Li on the side, listening to Hua Shi's words, coaxed Xiaoying into a few words, staring at them, with a somewhat strange expression.

With previous experience, when cutting Xiaoying's hair, the movements of Hua Shi's hands were obviously much more proficient, and he divided the unkempt hair by two.

When I was scrubbing Xiaohuaying's hair, there was a sudden noise outside the courtyard, as if many people were approaching this side......

The sound of messy footsteps, mixed with the sound of a large group of people talking, approached in the direction of the courtyard gate.

Hua Shi hurriedly sped up his hand to scrub Xiaoying's hair, picked up the cloth on the side, wiped the droplets of water dripping from his hair, stood up, and looked towards the courtyard gate where the noise was approaching.

"Knock knock! ——”

"Knock knock!! ——”

After a while, the small wooden door at the entrance of the courtyard was suddenly knocked on vigorously.

"Mrs. Li! Mrs. Li?! Come out! ”

…
