There is only one week left before the Chinese New Year.

The weather has been surprisingly good in the past few days. The sun has been shining brightly every day, and even the coldness in winter has been mostly eliminated.

Xu Qing looked up at the sky, guessing that there would definitely be a heavy snowfall in the next few days.

When there is snow during the Chinese New Year, it feels more like the New Year.

"You need to trim your hair, trim this side, and your forehead..."

"Then I go shopping for clothes and shoes, and replace them with new ones from top to bottom in the first year of junior high school. This is called a new year and a new atmosphere."

As soon as he went out, Xu Qing rambled on about today's plans. As he spoke, he picked up Jiang He's hand and looked at it carefully, "Do you want your nails trimmed too?"

"Repair? Is it broken?" Jiang He didn't think there was anything wrong with his nails.

"No, it's to trim it and make it more beautiful... It's called a manicure. I'll give you a sticky one to try it out. Just take it off if you get used to it."

Jiang He's nails had only been cut a few times with nail clippers. They were quite round and the gaps between his fingers were clean and simple.

"Happy New Year, Uncle Zhao!" Xu Qing shouted from a distance and led Jiang He out of the gate happily.

"Happy New Year! Are you going out?"

“Go shopping for New Year’s goods!”

Xu Qing was so arrogant that he didn't know how powerful he was.

"Hey, don't you go back to your mother's place?" Uncle Zhao asked.

"I've passed it all, I've passed it over there, I've passed it over here, haha, let's go, Uncle Zhao has a smoke."

"I just rely on this cigarette to survive."

After saying a few words, Xu Qing and Jiang He walked away. Uncle Zhao happily smoked a small cigarette and glanced at their backs, then turned to look away.

This kid is having a great time.

The trees on both sides of the sidewalk have long since lost their leaves, leaving only the dry branches. The morning sun shines slantingly, without blocking it, making it look a little desolate. The atmosphere of the New Year is full of the road on both sides. The shops along the street have hung red lanterns and couplets where they should.

Hang up the stickers that should be posted, adding a bit of festive flavor.

This is Jiangcheng where Xu Qing has lived for more than 20 years. He likes to take Jiang He around.

"Look at what they're wearing. It's called a bare-leg artifact. It looks like they're not wearing anything, but it's actually quite thick. Do you want to wear it?"

A few sexy beauties were walking by on the other side of the road. Xu Qing saw them as soon as he raised his eyes. He then looked at Jiang He's jeans, which contained the cotton pants he bought for them.

"In no mood."

"It's so easy to wear."

"Is not It Cold?"

"Uh... it shouldn't be cold, right?" Xu Qing really didn't know whether it was cold or not, so she gestured to the other side of the road and said, "Look, they are not shaking."

"I won't wear anything even if it's not cold. I'm very warm now."

Jiang Hete likes his cotton pants, they feel warm when worn thickly.

"where are we going?"

"Go get a haircut first, there are fewer people at this time."

Talking all the way to the barber shop, Xu Qing's guess was correct. Because of the morning, Teacher Tony hadn't started to get busy yet. He was sitting on a chair and scrolling through Douyin, and the beeping sound was loud:

"I want to take you to romantic Türkiye~"

Hearing Xu Qing's body tremble, Teacher Tony over there quickly put away his mobile phone and said hello.

Seeing Jiang He's beautiful hair, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Just do a simple trimming, simple... forget it, like this." Xu Qing was good at gesturing, "Cut here, trim the bangs, and then trim the ends of the hair here..."

"Can I have a haircut like your mother's?" Jiang He asked hesitantly.

"Can't."

"That...what kind of hairstyle is that?" Teacher Tony was stunned as he listened to the two people talking.

The two people talking seriously don't look funny. Could it be that this young man's mother has a very trendy hairstyle?

"You don't want to know, just cut it as I say."

Xu Qing shrugged, Zhou Suzhi had short hair and a classic middle-aged woman's style.

In the past six months, I have seen all kinds of hairstyles on the street. Jiang He prefers short hair because it is easy to wash.

Xu Qing couldn't bear to part with his long, straight black hair.

Helping Jiang He sit down, the two of them were reflected in the big mirror in front of him. He showed a smile, and they seemed to be a good match.

"Take it thinner."

"good!"

Although Teacher Tony regretted that he could not properly trim the head, he had no choice but to trim it as Xu Qing said.

Jiang He was a little nervous, but looking at Xu Qing standing aside in the mirror, he tensed up and did not move, letting the barber cut his hair.

When you live here, you have to get used to everything.

After Jiang He finished getting his hair cut, Xu Qing rolled up his sleeves, asked where the hair washing place was, and ducked in.

"What are you going to do?" Jiang He asked.

"I want to get a haircut too. I can't get a haircut in the first month of the year, so I'll give it a haircut before the Chinese New Year." Xu Qing turned on the water to test the temperature, and said to Teacher Tony who came over: "Don't bother, I can do it myself."

This kind of small store is not a chain. One person opens the store and one person works. There are not so many annoying sales pitches from Biliba, and there is no dedicated hair washing girl.

If he hadn't brought Jiang He with him, he would have preferred to go to the 10 Yuan Quick Cut, which was easier and faster. He didn't even have to wash his hair, just click and cut, and the job would be done in five minutes.

After getting her hair cut, Xu Qing paid and went out. Both of them changed their looks.

Jiang He has not changed much. The main reason is that the hair that has not been cut for a long time will look thick and the details are a bit messy. Now it is more natural after trimming.

This was also included in the dissonant and weird feeling when we first met him.

Xu Qing looked at it carefully for a moment, nodded and said, "It's more pleasing to the eye."

"...Where to go next?"

"Go shopping for clothes."

"Where are the new year's goods?"

“After you buy the clothes, go shopping for New Year’s goods.”

"oh."

Jiang He raised his hand to smooth his hair, his other hand was held by Xu Qing, and he changed direction and continued walking.

Anyway, don’t think too much, just follow him.

Cut his hair, buy clothes, manicure...it will all look the way he likes, and then...then...

She is just a weak woman...

"Do you have murderous intent in you?" Xu Qing suddenly stopped and asked.

"What?"

Jiang He, who had been following him with his head lowered, raised his head blankly and followed his gaze, only to find a big black dog on the roadside baring its teeth in this direction.

She subconsciously touched her waist, only to find that she hadn't brought her dart out for a long time.

"We have to go around." Xu Qing stopped and cursed the garbage man in his heart for not leashing his dog. "You go back first, slowly."

"It doesn't dare to come."

"It dares."

"I can kick it to death." Jiang He stared at the big dog and took half a step out with his toes on the ground, "Can I eat dog meat?"

"..."

Xu Qing was in a daze for a moment.

"A little cruel."

"Oh?" Jiang He was confused.

"Dogs are our good friends...well, the point is that it is not a wild dog. It would be a bit troublesome to kill it. Your identity is still very sensitive..."

Before Xu Qing finished speaking, the big black dog had already taken a tentative step forward. He pushed Jiang He back and said, "Let's go."

“Can humans still be bullied by dogs?”

Jiang He lowered his head and looked at the hand Xu Qing was holding on to him, and said, "Let's go."

"Um?"

Xu Qing was pulled forward by her. Seeing this, the big black dog leaned down slightly and made an attack gesture.

After walking a few meters forward, Jiang He's expression cooled down, and he turned and took a step towards it.
