Chapter 636: Haircut in the first month
The next day, the rain had gone, and the sky had cleared away the haze of the past. After dawn in the morning, the clouds that had gathered together seemed to have been pulled away.
The next morning, Zhang An opened his eyes and woke up with the sound of roosters crowing.
Su Ying beside her still had her eyes closed tightly, and there were bursts of even breathing.
It seems that she was really tired after working until midnight last night.
We are still on vacation, but school will start soon, so Zhang An didn’t want to wake his wife up and let her enjoy the pleasure of sleeping in for a few more days.
After half the payment, Zhang An gently lifted off the quilt, put on his slippers and walked downstairs.
"Qi Qi, it hurts. Don't pull it."
Before he went downstairs, Zhang An heard his mother talking to his son. He thought the little guy was having a temper. , so he walked down quickly.
“Mom, what the hell is this bastard doing?”
When he got downstairs, Zhang An didn't see the little guy having a tantrum, but he was pouting and frowning, looking like I'm very unhappy now, and he wasn't as well-behaved as usual.
"It's not like he was making a fuss, but after he got up, he kept grabbing his own hair. Look, he has pulled out so much."
Wang Fang pointed to the few hairs on the ground. The hair that had just been pulled out was said with great distress.
"Qiqi, come here to daddy."
After listening to his mother's words, Zhang An called his son to come to him.
Although the former Xiao Siqi was a little naughty, he was always well-behaved and never got angry when he got up.
This is the first time that a situation like today has occurred.
Although Xiao Siqi had a bad face, after hearing Zhang An calling him, he still walked to Zhang An's arms obediently.
"Tell dad, why are you pulling your hair? Don't you feel pain?"
Zhang An, who knew his son's character well, felt that there must be a reason, so he asked the little guy softly .
"It hurts, but my head is very uncomfortable."
When Zhang An asked, the little guy said aggrievedly, and kept pushing his head with his hands.
"Is your head uncomfortable? Do you feel a headache?"
As soon as Xiao Siqi said he was not feeling well, Zhang An's heart arose, thinking that there was something wrong with his son's health. .
Such a young child would not lie. Since he said it, it means that he really feels uncomfortable.
Wang Fang on the side is also the same, even more nervous than Zhang An. Her grandson is very close to her heart, and even a little cough is a big deal to her.
"Dad, I don't feel any pain, I just feel itchy."
The little guy shook his head and said to Zhang An, but the hand scratching his head did not stop.
Hearing this, Zhang An and Wang Fang felt relieved. As long as they were not feeling unwell, everything would be fine.
"Xiao An, look through it together to see if you have lice."
When Wang Fang heard her grandson say that his head was itchy, the first thing he thought of was lice.
Because lice are very common these days, they often live in people's hair, clothes, and cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, etc. at home, especially children.
And this thing is very small, so it won’t hurt if you bite it, but it will be very nourishing and it will also grow.
"It's unlikely. Qiqi often bathes, washes her hair and changes clothes, and our dogs are often dewormed, so they probably won't grow out."
Zhang An doesn't think this is the case. Maybe, because my son's hygiene has always been very good.
But even though he said this, he still reached out and searched for his son's hair.
“But Qiqi often plays with other people, so I’m not sure who provoked her. Look carefully, and if there is any, you can only sprinkle some Liuliu powder.”
Wang Fang did not look down on other children in the village, but that was the fact.
Many children in the village do not have bathrooms at home. Normally, it takes a long time to take a bath and wash their hair. This is what lice like most.
When Zhang An heard this, he felt that what his mother said made sense.
So I started searching seriously on my son's scalp.
But after searching for a long time, I found nothing.
"Mom, I can't find it. It's not because of lice."
If there really were lice on the little guy's head, Zhang An felt that there was no way he wouldn't be able to detect it.
"What's going on? Why did it suddenly start to itch? Although Qi Qi scratches his head usually, I never heard him say it."
Wang Fang was very surprised after hearing this. She was confused, but she knew her grandson couldn't feel uncomfortable for no reason.
“Could it be caused by his hair being too long?”
I heard my mother say that her son usually scratches his head, and when he was looking through his son’s hair just now, he found that his son’s hair was too long. The hair is already very long.
A few years ago, Zhang An wanted to take the little guy to get his hair cut.
But the temperature dropped sharply during that time. Wang Fang was worried that her grandson would freeze if he cut his hair, so he refused.
Children's hair grows fast, but now a few months have passed, and it is much longer than before. Not only does the hair in the back cover the neck, the hair in the front has also covered the eyes, and even the forehead can no longer be seen.
A lot of children in the village have longer hair.
Some of them are even like girls, they have had braids since they were young, and they cannot cut them off.
This is mainly because some children have been frail and sick since childhood, or have been very troublesome and misbehaved, so the family has made a wish. As long as the child grows up healthy and safe, he will leave a braid for him when he grows up. I shaved my head again and returned this vow.
But Xiao Siqi is not needed here, because he has always been in good health from birth to now, without any illness or disaster, and he is not troublesome, so there is no need to promise these messy things, so There is no taboo at all.
"It's a little long, but the temperature has been a bit low these past two days. If I cut him, I'm afraid he'll freeze."
After listening to Zhang An's words, Wang Fang realized that her own My grandson's hair is already very long.
"It's okay, Mom. It's spring now. It's a bit cold at most, but not too cold. I'll take him to get his hair cut later. It's not an option to keep him scratching and scratching like this. "
Zhang An is not as worried as Wang Fang. After all, he knows his son's physical condition well.
Little Siqi grew up drinking space spring water, but ordinary children are not so healthy.
"Okay, if not, let's put on a hat then."
When Wang Fang thought of his grandson pulling his own hair, he no longer objected.
Although it was not her hair that was pulled, it hurt her heart.
"Okay, Qiqi, stop scratching your head and pulling your hair. Dad will take you to get your hair cut later."
Seeing his son still scratching his head, Zhang An held his hand His hands said.
Children’s scalps are very tender, so scratching them all the time is definitely not a problem.
After hearing what her father said, little Siqi was obedient and did not continue to do anything.
Although he didn't understand what a haircut was, the child was always very curious and his attention was quickly distracted.
Because the two of them were going out, Wang Fang quickly went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
When Zhang An finished washing, she baked a pot of pancakes.
The pancake is made with sweet potato flour and chopped green onion. It can also be regarded as a scallion pancake. It tastes salty and has a green onion aroma, which is very fragrant. Even Xiao Siqi, who was full last night, also ate three pieces today.
"Son, daddy will take you to town to get a haircut."
After eating, Su Ying didn't get up yet, so Zhang An planned to take it by himself The son goes to town.
Zhang An didn’t drive a pickup truck this time, mainly because the pickup truck’s seats were too big for Xiao Siqi to sit on and fasten his seat belt.
But Mercedes-Benz can do it. In these aspects, it is true that you get what you pay for, and it is expensive.
"Qi Qi, daddy is going to drive, please sit down and don't move around."
Zhang An put his son on the passenger seat, pulled the seat belt and tied him to the chair superior.
Little Siqi is also very obedient and says yes softly.
When they arrived at the bridge, Zhang An saw Ding Yi and his family Ding Zijie walking out of Dongli Courtyard.
"Where are you going so early in the morning? Oh, and Qiqiha."
After Ding Yi saw Zhang An's car, he waved to him to stop.
"Qi Qi's hair was too long and he felt uncomfortable, so I took him to get his hair cut."
Zhang An opened the car window and said to Ding Yi.
“No, it’s only the first month of the month and it’s not even the second of February yet. Why are you taking your child to get a haircut? It’s not a good time to get a haircut.”
Hearing Zhang An’s request Taking little Siqi to get a haircut, Ding Yi said quickly.
As the saying goes, if you don’t cut your hair in the first month, your uncle will die if you cut your hair. Therefore, many families have a taboo that children are not allowed to get haircuts in the first month.
"Hey, this is all superstition. So many people have had their hair cut in the first month, and their uncles have not died. Besides, our family only has one aunt and no uncle. It doesn't matter at all. Worry."
Zhang An smiled and shook his head. He had really forgotten this taboo, but he didn't care when he remembered it.
Because when he was young, he had his hair cut many times in the first month, and he never saw anything happen to his unscrupulous vampire uncles.
Of course, the main reason was because Su Ying didn't have an older brother. Otherwise, even if he didn't believe it, he would still have to consider his wife's feelings.
"I see that your penis is pretty good. Do you want to come with us?"
As he said that, Zhang An glanced at the penis and said.
Although Ding Zijie’s hair is not as long as that of Xiao Siqi, it is not much different.
"No, no, no, no, you can go alone. Zizi has several uncles. If I take him to pick out his hair today, our family will be in trouble."
Ding After hearing what Zhang An said, his head immediately shook like a rattle.
"Okay, then we will go by ourselves, Zizi, and come back to come and play with Qiqi."
Zhang An actually just said it, after shouting to his godson , and drove away.
Soon, Zhang An brought his son to Hongyan Town.
There are only two barber shops in Hongyan Town now, unlike the dozen or so in later generations.
However, although there are only two barber shops, the two barber masters are very good at their craftsmanship.
After parking the car, Zhang An took Xiao Siqi to the restaurant he often went to.
The hairdresser is a middle-aged man in his thirties. On the one hand, he is good at his craftsmanship, and on the other hand, he can listen to what he says.
Unlike another barber master, in his fifties, he is extremely proficient in the skills of flat hair and flat hair.
However, because he was too old and could not listen to other people's opinions, Zhang An went there once and stopped going.
Nowadays, when children come to get their hair cut, they all have pot heads. The main reason is that the haircut is quick and short. The most important thing is that it is cheap, but it looks very smelly.
Zhang An did not dare to take his son to the old master for a haircut, mainly because he was afraid that he would not listen to her and if he made a pot lid for his son, he would definitely be scolded by Wang Fang and Su Ying when he returned home. die.
After all, my son is a little handsome when he grows up, and wearing a pot lid simply lowers the standard of appearance.
"Master Yang, give my son a crew cut."
When he entered the shop and saw no one there, Zhang An shouted to the barber.
"Okay, here we come."
As soon as Master Yang heard that the business was coming, he immediately ran out of the inner room.
"Children, uncle is going to cut your hair, please don't move."
After putting on the scarf, Master Yang coaxed the little guy and said, because cutting hair for children is the most scary thing. It's just moving around.
“Okay.”
Although this was the first time the little guy had his hair cut since he was sensible, he didn’t know what to do. Under Zhang An’s comforting eyes, he felt numb. said.
During the subsequent haircut process, the little guy was really patient and didn't move much. This is something that other children can't do.
“This child is so well-behaved, he must be two or three years old.”
Master Yang saw such a well-behaved child for the first time and praised him with great satisfaction.
“No, it’s only one and a half months old.”
Zhang An said to Master Yang while holding his son's hand.
"Then this child is really smart, and he grows up very fast. Many two or three-year-old children can't compare with him."
When Master Yang heard that the little guy was so talented, he A little older, he couldn't help but said in surprise.
Then, in less than ten minutes, the little guy’s long flowing hair was cut much shorter by Master Yang.
The already cheerful face, paired with a very sunny face, goes well together.
A haircut is also cheap, two yuan for adults and half for children. After Zhang An gave him one yuan, he took his son out of the barber shop.
The barber shop is on Center Street. There is a lot of traffic here, and many shops and food stalls are here.
Just after leaving the barber shop, the little guy smelled the fragrant smell in the air and dragged Zhang An forward.
"Dad, I want to eat this."
Xiao Siqi said while running and pointing to the stall in front.
But there were too many things sold in front, so how could Zhang An know what his son wanted to eat.
There is no other way but to let the little guy lead me forward.
Finally, the father and son came to a roast duck restaurant and stood in front of the oven.
Zhang An understood that, as expected, this man was attracted by the smell of roast duck in the oven.
Although he raised a lot of ducks at home, the roast ducks served by this restaurant in town tasted really good. Zhang An liked them very much, so he bought two of them.
When beheading the duck, Zhang An specifically told the boss to keep the two duck legs to satisfy his son's craving.
So Xiao Siqi took a duck leg in his left hand and a duck leg in his right hand, and started eating in a big way on the street.
There were several children around who came to buy groceries with adults, and their mouths watered with envy after seeing him.
