Meng Yan's Transformation

As Liu Wei spoke, he leaned against the door frame and looked at Liu Sida with disdain.

"Liu Wei, didn't we agree just now that you are not allowed to argue with my senior brother? Why don't you keep your word?"

When Zhan Yingying spoke, she moved close to Liu Wei and deliberately lowered her voice, not wanting Liu Sida to hear.

"How could I argue with your Senior Brother Liu? I was praising your Senior Brother Liu for his caring ability. Didn't you hear what your Senior Brother Liu said? What about my driving a motorcycle as slow as a snail, and the barber shop is a thousand miles away from the ordinary high school? Was he mocking me? Or did he worship Li Bai as his master and learn 'My white hair is three thousand feet long, and my sorrow is as long as my hair. The waterfall falls three thousand feet straight down, and I wonder if it is the Milky Way falling from the sky.' Or did he use me to practice exaggeration?"

When Liu Wei spoke, he deliberately raised his voice so that Liu Sida could hear him.

"Liu Wei, are you doing this on purpose? Keep your voice down!"

As Zhan Yingying spoke, she glared at Liu Wei.

"I left the hair salon in the mist this morning, when will I return to the half-mile campus? The monkeys in front of me kept crying, leaning against the door like a mountain. Oh my goodness... what a good poem, I finally learned how to use exaggeration... Yingying, wash your hands, and have breakfast quickly."

As Liu Sida spoke, he took quick steps in the style of Peking Opera and took out hot buns from the steamer on the stove and poured steaming millet porridge into a bowl.

"Thank you! Senior Brother Liu! Which opera are you singing? Are you learning Peking Opera with my fourth cousin Yun Daqing? You two are both friends and amateur opera fans."

While Zhan Yingying was talking, she picked up the millet porridge and took a sip. It was so hot that she stuck out her tongue.

"Junior sister Yingying, don't be anxious. Eat slowly. Be careful not to get burned... We are a family, why are you being so polite? I am learning Peking Opera with your fourth cousin. You were also learning it that day. If you were to play the role, your eyes and eyebrows would definitely surpass all of our amateurs."

While Liu Sida was speaking, he hurriedly handed Zhan Yingying a glass of cool boiled water to soothe her burning mouth.

"Liu Sida, who did you call a monkey just now? Zhan Yingying asked me to get along with you in harmony, but you made indirect accusations. I gave you face, but you are shameless! Get out of my way, I can take care of my girlfriend myself. And you want to be an actor, but you are so effeminate, stop instigating my girlfriend to be an amateur actor!"

As Liu Wei spoke, he pushed Liu Sida away from Zhan Yingying.

Liu Sida was pushed and fell to the ground, but he quickly got up.

"You are so good, Liu Wei. There are so many things in this world. I have seen people picking up money and gold, but I have never seen people picking up scolding. This is in my master's barber shop. I am talking in my master's barber shop, but you have to come to the barber shop and say that I scolded you. If you take it personally, then I will scold you! Why didn't others come to say that I scolded him? Is there something wrong with your brain? Are you sent by monkeys to make fun of me?! I can do whatever I want in my master's barber shop. I can scold people if I want to, write poems if I want to, and take care of my junior sister if I want to. What's it to you? The chickens have run into my house and are extremely arrogant to say that I have no shame. Should I not kill the chickens for the New Year? Do you really think that I, Liu Sida, am easy to bully and let you, Liu Wei, take advantage of me and spoil you?"

As Liu Sida spoke, he clenched his fists tightly, and his knuckles made fragile sounds, as if he was silently venting his anger. His eyes were wide open, and his dark pupils reflected endless anger and disgust, like a blazing flame, hot and violent...

After hearing what Liu Sida said, Liu Wei's gentle and elegant face changed, and he became particularly terrifying when he got angry, just like an elegant cat suddenly screaming and showing its sharp teeth, and his angry face twisted into that of a furious lion...

The war is ready to begin.

"Liu Sida, Liu Wei, what are you two doing with your eyes wide open? Do you want to start a fight in my barber shop?"

As Yunhan spoke, he walked into the barber shop with a gloomy face.

"No, no, they are playing the staring game. Both sides stare at each other without moving their mouths. Whoever blinks first has to admit defeat. They have been staring for a long time, but the winner has not yet been decided. Liu Wei, stop playing and go home quickly. Don't forget to pick up Zhan Mengyan after school this afternoon."

While Zhan Yingying was speaking, she winked at Liu Wei.

Liu Wei understood what he meant.

"Brother Liu, let's play some other day. I have something to do today. Third cousin, I'm going home first. I came to bring breakfast to Zhan Yingying this morning. Have you had breakfast?"

When Liu Wei spoke, the smile on his face was a little stiff.

"I've eaten at home. Liu Wei, you have something to do, go and do it first."

As Yunhan spoke, she glanced at Liu Sida's livid face.

After Liu Wei left, Yunhan began to look Liu Sida up and down.

"Master, why are you looking at me like that? Didn't I tell you to come to the barber shop late and rest more at home? Why are you here so early?"

Liu Sida lowered his head guiltily as he spoke.

"Haha, you are such a filial disciple. If I listened to you and rested more at home, I'm afraid you and Liu Wei would use my barber shop as a duel. I remember there's an idiom: A fire in the city gate affects all the fish in the pond. If you fight in the barber shop, won't you tear my barber shop to pieces? Look at the two of you staring at each other with your necks thick and your faces red, and you look like you are on the verge of a fight. What do you mean by playing the staring game? Do you think I'm a three-year-old child who can be fooled?"

As Yunhan spoke, she slapped the table. This sound, crisp and powerful, instantly broke the tranquility of the barber shop, exploding like thunder in the hearts of Zhan Yingying and Liu Sida. The two of them trembled violently with fear, their bodies trembled involuntarily, and their eyes instantly widened, full of fear and terror.

Zhan Yingying and Liu Sida quickly raised their heads, only to see that Yunhan's eyes had become more stern and her lips were tightly pursed, as if she was conveying unquestionable authority and teachings in this way, and she also realized the high hopes and deep love that the elders have for the younger generation.

Then, Yunhan's voice slowly sounded: "Liu Sida, you tell me first why you want to fight with Liu Wei today, and Zhan Yingying, you give us the additional explanation."

Inside the house, the atmosphere was extremely solemn, and the air seemed to be solidifying.

"Liu Sida, speak quickly!"

Yunhan urged.

"I... I didn't fight with Liu Wei. Master, you saw it all. The tables in the barber shop are tables, and the chairs are chairs. Nothing is broken or missing."

As Liu Sida spoke, he lowered his head, made circles on his toes, and occasionally glanced at his master. His master had a dignified face, deep eyes, and a gaze as sharp as a torch, as if he could see into the deepest secrets of people's hearts. This made Liu Sida feel uneasy and nervous. He knew that if he really started a fight with Liu Wei today, he would really anger this usually kind but principled master.

"Liu Sida, do you still want to quibble? Okay, stop talking for now. Stand aside and think about it carefully. Zhan Yingying, please tell us in detail why they had to fight today. Don't forget every detail!"

As Yunhan spoke, she waved for Zhan Yingying to come over.

Zhan Yingying took a deep breath, looking lost, and walked over mechanically like a clay or wooden sculpture.

"This morning, Liu Wei brought me food, and Senior Brother Liu also brought me breakfast. They suspected each other of spending the night in the barber shop. At this time, my sister Mengyan suddenly 'moved' to the barber shop: because Grandma Kong was seriously ill and was about to die, the Kong family was busy with Grandma Kong's funeral, and the house was in a mess. Sister Mengyan had nowhere to go, so she had to move her luggage to the barber shop first, and decided to start riding a bicycle to stay overnight tomorrow. I let Sister Mengyan have breakfast, and Liu Sanwei and I sent her to school. When we came back, Senior Brother Liu thought we were coming back too late and the breakfast was cold. Feeling sorry for me for not having breakfast, Liu Wei leaned against the door frame and talked to Brother Liu. Senior Brother Liu heated up the cold breakfast, brought it to me, and also wrote a poem. After Brother Liu recited it loudly, Liu Wei got angry and said that Senior Brother Liu called him a monkey. Liu Wei pushed Senior Brother Liu first, and as a result, the two of them were about to fight. At this time, you, my third cousin, came in."

Zhan Yingying spoke the whole thing in one breath, rolled her eyes, and wondered if she had forgotten anything.

"Is Mrs. Kong dying? Oh, I'll have to ask your cousin to go to the old Kong family later. We still have courtesy exchanges with the old Kong family. Let's not talk about this for now. Liu Sida can also write poems. What poems did he write?"

As Yunhan spoke, she turned to look at Liu Sida.

"I don't remember it all. It seems to be a poem written with the exaggerated rhetoric of Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai, but I didn't feel that Senior Brother Liu was cursing. It was Liu Wei who was narrow-minded and unreasonable. Oh, now I remember: I left the hair salon early in the mist, and when will I return to the half-mile campus? In front of me, the monkeys are crying non-stop, leaning against the door like a mountain. Senior Brother Liu, right?"

Zhan Yingying revealed a bit of pride when she spoke. She didn't expect that she could actually recite the poem written by Senior Brother Liu.
