Chapter 12

As she thought about it, her face didn’t look good.

Jiang Xiubai saw everything. She smiled and said, “Xiu Fen, it’s true that you’re not suitable for a perm right now, but I think you could ask a hairdresser to trim your hair. At your age, short hair that reaches your ears is quite suitable for you.”

That’s true.

Jiang Xiufen is only sixteen years old now. She has two pigtails on her head, a square face, and the facial features of her father Jiang Jianjun. Her complexion is dark yellow and she has very little flesh on her body. It is obvious that she has not had a good life at home and is so thin that she is just a bag of bones.

This is in stark contrast to her older sister, who has a rosy complexion, delicate features, and is obviously raised in a pampered manner.

If you don’t know, you might think that these are children raised by two different families.

When Jiang Xiufen heard that although she couldn’t perm her hair, she could still trim it, her originally depressed mood instantly became happy.

When she heard that she had to cut her hair short, she felt a little reluctant.

She raised her head uncertainly and looked at Jiang Xiubai opposite her and the barber not far away.

She whispered, “Cousin Xiubai, does it really look good on me with short hair?”

Jiang Xiubai nodded and said casually, “If you don’t believe me, you can ask the barber next to me.”

Jiang Xiufen turned her gaze to the master next to her.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, the barber looked at Jiang Xiufen opposite him for a while.

Coming back to his senses, he nodded vigorously to Jiang Xiubai beside him and said, “Comrade, you are right. I also think short hair that reaches the ears suits this female comrade.”

Jiang Xiubai smiled with satisfaction and looked at Jiang Xiufen across from him and said, “Yutong and Xiuhong will need a while to get their hair done anyway, so Xiufen, you should think about it carefully.”

After saying that, without waiting for Jiang Xiufen’s response, she took a stack of newspapers from the cabinet next to her, found a random place to sit down and started reading.

Apart from doing my hair, I haven’t done anything else today.

As for putting on makeup the next morning, she had already told Jia Xiangru yesterday, and she would take care of it.

As for Jiang Yutong, she certainly didn’t have the kindness to remind her.

If she really put on some weird makeup, she could still laugh at it.

After Jiang Yutong finished doing her hair, she knew that Jiang Xiuhong also wanted to have the same perm, and her expression froze for a moment.

She looked at the people sitting in their seats with eyes full of joy and said disdainfully, “Cousin Xiuhong, you’re going back to the countryside with grandma in a few days. It’s not appropriate to get the same perm as us now. After all, it’s not easy to take care of your hair in the countryside.”

Jiang Xiuhong’s excited face paused, and she turned her head to look at Jiang Yutong who was standing there.

I curled my lips inwardly, wondering if she was worried that her hair would look better than hers after perming it.

After all, this hair on her head is not even one-tenth as beautiful as the hair on her cousin Xiubai’s head.

But she was different. She had looked in the mirror and asked her mother, and both of them said that she was prettier than Jiang Yutong. She actually felt the same way.

However, the other party was luckier than her. Her mother was thick-skinned, had superb means, and was also lucky. Not long after the original third aunt passed away, she took the opportunity to take the position.

What’s so great about that?

She will definitely be good in the future. Apart from other things, at least she will be better off than this cousin who is two-faced.

Thinking this in her heart, Jiang Xiuhong looked at Jiang Yutong and said bluntly: “Just now, cousin Xiubai said that I would look good if I permed my hair. I want to perm it.”

Jiang Yutong···

She looked at Jiang Xiubai who was sitting not far away.

Jiang Xiubai also looked over at the two of them upon hearing the voice, and his eyes met Jiang Yutong’s directly.

She said calmly, “Sister, what’s wrong? Can’t my cousin with red hair do this? I think it looks pretty good.”

Jiang Yutong was so angry that she gritted her teeth and didn’t know how to describe her own sister.

Don’t you see what day it is tomorrow? It’s bad enough that the two brides have the same hair perm, but how can they let their cousin from the countryside have the same hairstyle as well?

What is this?

Is she worthy?

Seeing that everyone in the room was looking at him, Jiang Yutong took several deep breaths.

After waiting for a long time, she calmly said, “Nothing. I just thought that since we’re both getting married tomorrow, a perm wouldn’t be a problem. Cousin Xiuhong doesn’t even have a partner right now, so there’s no need to get a perm so early. We could wait two days. After all, we have a lot of things to do today, and our family will definitely be worried if we go back late.”

Jiang Xiubai was amused when he heard this, but he said with a puzzled look on his face: “There are so many people at home today, and there are also many neighbors helping out, so you don’t have to worry about it. I just thought that apart from doing my hair, I didn’t have anything else to do today, so I asked this question. So, you don’t want your cousin Xiuhong to…”

Having said this, Jiang Xiubai stopped for a moment and smiled embarrassedly at the person opposite him.

Explained: “Well, I didn’t mean that, really.”

As he spoke, Jiang Xiubai waved his hand.

Jiang Yutong’s expression froze, and he slowly looked towards Jiang Xiuhong who was sitting there.

After Jiang Xiubai finished speaking, Jiang Xiuhong looked at Jiang Yutong beside her with a scrutinizing gaze.

When their eyes met, Jiang Xiuhong said bluntly, “Cousin Yutong, you don’t really mean that, do you?”

Jiang Yutong smiled awkwardly, bit her lip, and said, “No, just do your work. Xiubai and I will wait for you and Sister Xiufen.”

Jiang Xiuhong then withdrew her gaze with satisfaction.

Seeing that the other party was finally ready, the barber began to work seriously.

As for Jiang Xiufen, another hairdresser helped cut her hair.

By the time we walked out of the barber shop, it was already three o’clock in the afternoon and everyone was starving.

Except for Jiang Yutong, the other three were in a good mood.

Jiang Xiuhong, in particular, looked at herself in the mirror again and again after getting her hair permed. She really felt that she looked much better than Jiang Yutong after getting her hair done.

Especially when she saw Jiang Yutong looking at her in the mirror with an indescribable expression on her face, she felt really happy.

Seeing that the other person was unhappy, she felt more confident about her appearance.

Several people walked quickly towards their homes. After entering the military compound, the closer they got to their residence, the more lively the atmosphere became.

Jiang Xiubai and Jiang Yutong greeted familiar neighbors along the way.

By the time I finally got home, another half an hour had passed.

Wang Rong saw Jiang Yutong entering the room at a glance.

He asked enthusiastically, “Yutong, is your hair done?”

Jiang Yutong looked at her mother at the kitchen door and nodded aggrievedly, “Well, Xiuhong, Xiubai, and I all have the same perm.”

Wang Rong paused, feeling annoyed. She said in a friendly manner, “Oh, since Xiuhong has had her hair permed, why doesn’t Xiufen have one too?”

As she spoke, she saw Jiang Xiubai and others entering the room from behind.

Wang Rong looked them up and down several times and frowned.

What happened? After getting her hair done, Yutong didn’t look as good as before.

What on earth was she thinking?

At this time, everyone in the Jiang family in the living room heard the sound of the door opening and looked towards the door.
