Chapter 57
"I'm going to cut my hair, I have to wait." One of them was sitting on a red plastic stool, washing the hair of a short-haired grandma. The aunt in a sweater looked at An Ran with a kind smile.
An Ran asked her, "How long do you have to wait? If it takes too long, I'll come back later."
The aunt looked at the guests next to her and said, "It only takes ten minutes."
An Ran thought that ten minutes would not be enough to go home and back, so she thought it would be better to wait here for a while, "Can it be faster?"
"No more." The aunt in a brown coat next to her said, "You see there are so many people waiting here, we are already very fast."
"Okay, then I'll go out and sit for a while." She turned around and left the inner room.
The two rooms in the barber shop are separated by a wall, which is not soundproof at all. What An Ran just said inside could be heard clearly by the old woman sitting outside against the partition wall.
"Sit here, little girl." A grandmother with a curling iron took out a big red plastic stool from behind with a smile and placed it next to her.
"Thank you, grandma." An Ran walked over and sat down on the stool.
As soon as she sat down, the old ladies next to her all turned their eyes to her, "How old is the little girl? She is quite tall, maybe seventeen or eighteen?"
Although her hair was short and messy, she was good-looking, with a white jade-like face, which looked extremely dazzling in the slightly messy and dark barber shop, attracting everyone in the shop to look at her.
An Ran answered honestly, "I am 16 years old."
"You're sixteen." Another old lady tilted her head and asked, "Are you in high school?"
"Up."
"Where have you been?"
"One Middle School."
"Are you in high school at No. [-] Middle School?" Grandma looked surprised.
When the grandmothers nearby heard An Ran talk about going to high school in No. [-] Middle School, their eyes fell on her with Ran pursed her lips and smiled at everyone, with a well-behaved look on her face.
The old ladies looked at her with even more kindness.
A few of them even gathered together to discuss quietly, "Is No. [-] Middle School the best school?"
"Yeah yeah."
An Ran listened quietly to them talking about themselves. No one asked her any more questions, so she stopped talking.
There was nothing to do during the waiting time. She looked at the surroundings quietly and silently. At a glance, she saw a half-meter-high quartz clock placed in the middle of the cabinet on the right. The body of the clock seemed to be brass-colored from a certain age, and it had a very European feel. , unexpectedly beautiful.
As the seconds ticked by, her eyes turned elsewhere, and she realized that there were many things piled on the wall where the quartz clock was placed, as well as many professional medals.
When she saw the medals hanging on the large wall, An Ran felt that she was probably being narrow-minded.
Once a person calms down, time will pass quickly.
"What kind of haircut do you want?" The aunt who was wearing a sweater in the back room didn't know when she stood in front of An Ran.
"Just cut it shorter." The aunt in the sweater lowered her head and took a serious look at her hair. "Your hair is so short, you can't get any hairstyle."
"It's okay." An Ran said, "Just help me fix it neatly."
The aunt nodded clearly, turned around, walked to the back of the barber chair in front of the mirror and stood on the back, "Sit over here."
An Ran got up, walked over, sat down and asked her, "Are you a hairdresser?"
She thought her aunt was just a hair-washing lady who helped in the store.
The aunt smiled and said, "Yes."
She put a purple blouse on An Ran, then reached out and touched her hair, "Your hair is of good quality." 1314 (End of this chapter)
