Chapter 584 Wearing a Skirt
Zhou Dacang said: "It's me."
Everyone sat on the kang and listened.
Li said, "You said you haven't been back for two years. They helped so much last time. Now you are leaving and we don't know when you will come back. It's only right to treat them to a meal. Okay, we will prepare it tonight. It's all ready anyway."
Zhou Guo and others began to clean the rooms, putting things away and sweeping up the melon seeds and shells.
Li said, "Sweep your room clean. You won't be allowed to sweep the floor for the next few days."
Everyone agreed.
After dinner, before it got dark, Li said, "The hot water on the stove is ready. Who's going to wash first?"
On the last day of the Lunar New Year, you should wash your hair, take a bath and change into new clothes.
Zhou Guo's new clothes had been prepared long ago. It was a satin jacket and skirt that Li had made for her last time. It had a yellow skirt and a purple top, and there was also a bright red cloak with gold weaving and white fox fur that had already been finished. Li folded the whole set neatly and placed it in her room.
Zhou Xing is similar.
After Zhou Guo took a bath, she changed into a new jacket and skirt. Zhou Xing was very interested in combing her hair.
This was a new hairstyle she had learned, and she had wanted to try it on Zhou Guo for a long time. However, she had been imitating Zhou Mai and the others all day long, tying her hair on top of her head, either with a headband or a hairpin, and she had never found room to show off her skills. Today finally gave her the chance.
Zhou Guo sat at the table, his neck almost sore, feeling the movement above his head, and said helplessly: "Sister, it's not over yet? How long will it take? You've been working on it for half an hour."
Zhou Xing said, "It's almost done, don't be impatient. Don't be impatient. You always say that slow work produces fine results. You can't be impatient when it comes to combing your hair. If you are impatient, you won't be able to comb it well, and if you don't comb it well, it won't look good."
Zhou Guo sighed deeply. As expected, this beauty also comes at a price. But has this been going on for too long?
She was almost falling asleep when she finally heard a voice from above her head: "Okay."
She suddenly felt as if she had been pardoned and wanted to stand up and leave. This was too much suffering. Why would a hairstyle take so long? She usually could just comb a ponytail and tie it on top of her head in the blink of an eye.
"Hey, wait a minute." Zhou Xing pushed her down.
Zhou Guo was stunned. "It's not over yet?"
Zhou Xing took the bronze mirror from her desk and said with a smile, "Don't you want to see what you look like now? Come, take a look."
Looking at his masterpiece with pride, he realized that his obedient sister is great, and this hairstyle looks great!
Zhou Guo glanced into the bronze mirror. Was the girl in front of him with bright eyes, white teeth and wearing gold and silver jewelry her?
She blinked, took a closer look, wrinkled her nose, and bared her teeth. The little girl in the bronze mirror did the same thing as her.
She shook her head, and the pearl necklace on her head swayed.
This is the string of pearl necklace they bought in the capital. They kept it in the box after buying it and never wore it. She just happened to wear it today. There are two gold hairpins inserted next to it and a kingfisher flower on her hair. Apart from other things, all the jewelry on her head are beautiful.
The little girl in the mirror was vivid and lifelike. Zhou Xing smiled and said, "How is it? It looks good, right? Let's go out and let them see it."
Zhou Guo was holding the mirror and was reluctant to let go. "Sister, if you comb my hair like this now, it will fall apart again when I go to bed at night. You should comb it again tomorrow morning."
Zhou Xing said, "I'm just trying it tonight. I'll take it off when I go to sleep. I'll comb your hair again tomorrow morning. There will be so many people coming tomorrow. Let them all see you. Our Guoguo is not only handsome in men's clothes, but also looks great in women's clothes."
Zhou Guo looked around and shook his head. The beads on his head swayed left and right, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but grin.
Zhou Xing found it funny. She said, what little girl doesn't love beauty? Doesn't she look very happy?
The Zhou family members were getting impatient waiting outside. They had all finished taking a shower and even dried their hair, but the two men still hadn't come out. They all started to suspect that they had fallen asleep.
When Zhou Guo came out dressed in new clothes, everyone was stunned for a moment.
He stared with eyes wide open, looking from top to bottom, and then from bottom to top.
Zhou Xing pulled her around and spun her around. "How is it? Does it look good?"
Li pulled her up and down and looked at her left and right. She was so satisfied that she couldn't stop smiling. "I told you to wear more girls' clothes. Look how beautiful you are. Your hair is combed well, and the beads on your head are even more beautiful. At first glance, I thought you were a young lady from a secluded family. You should dress like this more in the future. You little girl, why do you have to dress like a boy all day long? We have enough boys in our family, we don't need you."
Zhou Su and Li Lai came up and spun around, saying happily, "Sister is so pretty."
Zhou Da Cang and the old men were also watching with smiles on their faces. Why did it feel like the child had grown up so quickly? He would be eleven years old next year. Wouldn’t it be soon that he could get engaged and get married?
Seeing such a beautiful girl about to get married, everyone feels unhappy. After all, marrying into the husband's family is not as comfortable as living at home, and she may not be able to run around freely in the future.
I felt happy and sad at the same time.
The old man waved and Zhou Guo sat over happily. She wanted to sit cross-legged on the kang as she did before, but then she remembered that she was wearing a skirt and should act more ladylike, so she sat on the edge of the kang properly. After sitting down, she smoothed the hem of her skirt and kept her back straight.
It's very serious and seems to be the case.
Everyone in the room was laughing so hard.
Li smiled and said, "It would be great if it could always be like this. You can wear skirts every day from now on. I have made a lot of them for you and put them in your closet."
Zhou Guo waved his hand, "Forget it. It looks good to wear like this, but how can I work? It will get dirty in a short time in the mountains. What a pity. Mom, please make me fewer skirts and more tight clothes. Or just clothes and pants will do."
Li said, "How can a girl wear clothes and pants all day long? Look at the children in the village. Even if the family is poor, they let their daughters wear skirts."
Everyone chimed in, mainly because it looked good to wear like this, much better than men's clothes.
The family stayed up until late at night, had a simple meal of dumplings and went to bed.
Early the next morning, Zhou Guo opened her eyes and wanted to go out to practice martial arts, but as soon as she moved, her hand was grabbed.
Zhou Xing opened her eyes, smiled at her, and said, "Don't leave. I'll comb your hair. Today is the first day of the new year. You can rest and not practice."
Zhou Guo: “…”
Being pressed down on the table, she didn't move at all. She couldn't help but ask Zhou Xing, "Sister, you have to comb my hair for so long, aren't you tired?"
"Hush!" Zhou Xing said quickly, "It's New Year's Day, why are you talking about being tired? I'm not tired, I'm having a lot of fun."
