Chapter 409

She was also quite worried in her heart, afraid that people would think her daughter was trying to make money.

In fact, when she first learned about this matter yesterday, she thought so too.

But when she went back and listened to her child's explanation, she said it quite reasonably.

Her daughter originally wanted to follow her classmates to learn hairdressing. Thanks to listening to ZhiXia's advice to hold onto her, ZhiXia later found her a proper place to learn skills.

After that classmate of hers left, there was no news. Those two years really worried the family. In the previous period, she did come back, but she came back pregnant. No one knew what she was doing outside, and she wouldn't say when asked, either crying or making trouble, worrying the family.

In contrast, her own child has now learned the skills, opened a small hair salon, and runs it quite properly, earning more than those who hold iron rice bowls.

The child also has a kind heart. Seeing Zhou Nan go to the hair salon full of curiosity and envy when seeing others perm their hair, she thought of ZhiXia's feelings and introduced her to a hairstyle. She didn't originally intend to charge money at all, and only took half when Zhou Nan insisted.

She just didn't expect it to cause such an incident, causing the couple to fight.

ZhiXia's father was still a principal. She didn't expect his thinking to be so old-fashioned. Now perm hair is popular. It's not that she doesn't have the means. Her husband worked hard for a lifetime. What's wrong with perming her hair to dress herself up?

If she wasn't annoyed by her messy hair, she would have done one for herself long ago.

Unfortunately, this could only be thought in her heart and couldn't be said.

"It's alright now, Sister Zhang. My dad is old-minded and can't accept the new era. Don't take this matter to heart. After some time, when he gets used to seeing it, he will naturally become less annoyed." ZhiXia said, "I have to say, your daughter's skills at perming hair are really good. I was still telling Fourth Sister-in-law last night to find time to go take a look and change my hairstyle if there's a suitable one." "Oh my, don't, you two already look good enough without perming," Sister Zhang finally felt relieved and generously praised them.

Not to mention ZhiXia's father was old, even she couldn't stand the sight of that hairstyle at first. But it was said to be popular coming from the south, and everyone wanted to catch up with the trend.

She was also worried that if ZhiXia and Su Ying really went to perm their hair and then Pei Jing and An ZhiAng came back and made another fuss, it would be too upsetting.

Besides, these two looked beautiful with straight and silky hair, and it would be a pity to cut it short for no reason.

After breakfast, sending the few children out the door, Su Ying came over, "ZhiXia, let's go, go to the hair salon together?"

"You really have the heart to do this?" She thought yesterday Su Ying was just casually mentioning it.

"Of course, changing hairstyles also changes moods. You don't know, for my job I have to keep up with the trends. Many of my customers now have new hairstyles, making me look a bit countrified." Su Ying said, "But I still want to go take a look first before deciding. See if there are any styles for long hair. My face shape doesn't suit short hair. I think yours doesn't either. And your hair is so straight and silky, it took so long to grow this long, it would be a pity to cut it."

Although ZhiXia and Zhou Nan looked very similar, their temperaments were completely different. ZhiXia looked more gentle, like a well-read and polite young lady from years ago.

Su Ying was also very capable. When the shopping mall first opened, she bought a store inside specifically for private customization. In recent years, she also opened a clothing factory to attract low and mid-end customers with good-looking designs, successfully occupying most of Jincheng's market and squeezing out the state-run clothing factories nearby to almost no business.

Discussing all the way, the two of them went over.

As soon as they entered, they saw a familiar figure that seemed to have just finished her hair and was fiddling with it in front of the mirror.

Pei Shuangshuang also didn't expect to meet ZhiXia here. The passing years had taken away her youthful impulsiveness. At least for now there were no harsh words, but also no politeness shown to elders. She just nodded stiffly at ZhiXia.

She pulled on the sleeves of the man next to her, then the two left together.

The man next to her looked quite good, wearing a white shirt and long pants. Standing there he gave ZhiXia a feeling of familiarity, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him.

When leaving, he even smiled at ZhiXia, a dazzling light flashing in his eyes.

"It really is a small world," Su Ying, who also knew ZhiXia was not close with this niece from her husband's side, couldn't help sighing. "Let's not talk about her. She's not an important person anyway," ZhiXia had just finished speaking when Sister Zhang's daughter was called out from the back by a shop assistant. Seeing it was ZhiXia, she instantly smiled with her mouth stretched to her ears.

The young girl was still in high school, no older than 20 years old, but eloquent with an amiable face. Smiling very enthusiastically, clearly suitable for opening a shop and doing business. No wonder she could operate the hair salon with increasing prosperity.

Under her introduction, ZhiXia and Su Ying changed into two different hairstyles respectively.

When they came out again, Su Ying had changed to a medium-length wavy bob. Her hair was less well-behaved now, indeed looking more elegant.

ZhiXia had very good hair quality, so hers wasn't cut short. Permed it looked slightly shorter than before, but still reached her waist, the wavy style draping loosely over her chest, adding a kind of charm to her entire being.

Su Ying smiled mischievously, "ZhiXia, if you're not busy, why don't we go hang out at dad and mom's place for a bit? It's lunchtime anyway, let's go eat."

"Be careful not to anger the old man. As the daughter-in-law you'll have to humor him if that happens," ZhiXia said.

"It's just a hair perm, how could that possibly anger him so easily. And like you said, dad just isn't used to it from seeing it so rarely. If we show ourselves in front of him more, he'll naturally get accustomed to it."

In any case, she loved watching the fun without fearing the chaos. They had just gotten new hairstyles after all, of course they had to go out to show off and let people know. So ZhiXia also went along.

As soon as they entered, they saw Zhou Nan washing vegetables in the yard, frowning bitterly as if greatly aggrieved. Although An Jingzhi no longer forced her to undo the perm, he had nagged her all morning until he left for work and her ears finally had some peace and quiet.

Originally she didn't have any particular feelings about her hair. But people all have a rebellious mentality. Having endured him for half a lifetime, she perms her hair a little, and still has to suffer his bad temper. She felt more and more upset.

When Su Ying greeted her, Zhou Nan looked up to see their new hairstyles had changed.

"Oh my, you two..." She instantly revealed a delighted expression, "I thought you two were just saying that last night to help me out. I didn't expect you to really go perm your hair!"

"Mom, looks good right? We spent a whole morning on this," Su Ying ostentatiously turned a circle in front of Zhou Nan.

"Very good, very good," Zhou Nan generously praised them.

ZhiXia went to talk to grandma, while Su Ying helped Zhou Nan wash vegetables. When it was time to get off work, An Jingzhi came in the door and predictably darkened his face when he saw them, but didn't say anything either, just coldly went inside to read the newspaper. It was unknown whether he had accepted it in his heart.

Surprisingly, An ZhiXian also came back to eat lunch.

The moment he entered, ZhiXia finally understood where the sense of familiarity from the man at the hair salon came from.
