Meng Yan's Transformation

Yunhan returned to the barber shop, looking lost.

"Liu Sida, you've improved faster than I expected. The customer you cut hair for today received a good response. Do you feel more confident now? Look, Zhan Yingying has to pick up her sister from school every day in addition to dating. I don't think she is suitable to stay in the barber shop anymore. If you can receive customers on your own, I will fire Zhan Yingying tomorrow."

When Yunhan spoke, she revealed her dissatisfaction with Zhan Yingying.

"Master, please don't dismiss Junior Sister Yingying! I just came to the barber shop, and I still have a lot of hairdressing techniques to learn and practice. Our barber shop can't do without Junior Sister Yingying! At least now is not a good time to dismiss Junior Sister Yingying. Look at the first customer this morning, the little boy only agreed to let Junior Sister Yingying cut his hair. If it were me, the boy would definitely not agree."

When Liu Sida spoke, he seemed very anxious and worried.

"Liu Sida, why do I feel like you are afraid that I will fire Zhan Yingying? Don't you want to be my chief apprentice? Do you like Zhan Yingying too? That's why you don't want her to leave? You should know that she is already taken, so don't have any improper thoughts about Zhan Yingying. Besides, when Yun Daqing came to you, didn't he tell you that if you learn the barbering skills well in the future, you will have to replace Zhan Yingying? Our barber shop is not that big, and we don't need two apprentices."

"Master, what are you thinking about? How could I have any improper thoughts about my own Master Yingying? I don't want Master Yingying to leave our barber shop because I haven't learned all the barbering techniques yet. I'm afraid that if she leaves, our barber shop business will be affected."

When Liu Sida spoke, his face turned red with embarrassment and he tried his best to defend himself.

"It's best if you don't have any improper thoughts about Zhan Yingying. If you do, nip these thoughts in the bud as soon as possible and don't let them develop further. I'm just giving you a heads-up today to nip them in the bud. If you have any, correct them. If not, try to improve yourself."

When Yunhan spoke, she showed a calmness that showed she saw everything but didn't say it out loud.

After Zhan Yingying's earnest persuasion, Zhan Mengyan finally agreed to go to Liu Wei's house to see what the new residence arranged for her looks like.

Liu Wei's mother was already waiting at the door. When she saw Liu Wei coming with Zhan Yingying and Zhan Mengmeng, she hurried forward to greet them warmly. After a few pleasantries, Liu Wei's mother took Zhan Yingying and Zhan Mengyan to the front yard, and then walked from the front yard to the back yard, introducing the family along the way. The front yard was a newly built "Beijing bungalow" and the back yard was an old-style rafter house. The Liu family lived in the new house, and the old house in the back yard was idle. The front yard could lead directly to the back yard. There was a corner door on the side of the back yard, so you didn't have to go through the front yard to get to the back yard.

Liu Wei's mother opened the door to the backyard.

Zhan Mengyan saw the snow-white walls, which looked like newly pasted white paper, the spacious rooms, the red brick floors, the crystal clear glass windows, like a mountain spring, spotless, bright as a mirror, clean and tidy, everything was so beautiful, Zhan Mengyan couldn't help but walk around and admire her "new home". Here is not only the comfort that Zhan Mengyan dreamed of, but also a sense of belonging that she has never had before. She dreamed of having her own space, breathing the breath of hope and warmth. The new home is like a warehouse of inspiration, which adds to Zhan Mengyan's courage and determination to explore the ocean of knowledge.

"Sister Mengyan! How is it? You've been looking at it for a long time. Can you tell me, are you satisfied with this new home? Do you agree to 'move' here?"

Zhan Yingying looked anxious when she spoke.

"Zhan Yingying, why are you so anxious? Let Mengyan take a good look. If there's anything she's not satisfied with, we can improve it. Although this house is a little old, it's close to the yard, quiet and safe. I know Mengyan likes quietness, so I asked mom to clean up this backyard. My mom originally wanted Mengyan to live in the new house in the front yard, but I rejected it. Sometimes relatives and neighbors come to visit us in the front yard, and chatting will disturb Mengyan's studies. Another advantage of this backyard is that you can walk in from the front, and there is a corner door, so you can use your own independent door. In this way, Mengyan can go in and out of school through the corner door, which is convenient for travel."

As Liu Wei spoke, he suppressed his excitement, his eyes sparkling with anticipation. The corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a brilliant smile.

"Xiao Mengyan, in order to clean up and decorate this old house for you, your brother Liu Wei personally laid red bricks on the floor, removed the original wallpaper, and re-pasted the walls with newly bought large white paper. He really worked all night long, just to get you to 'move in' as soon as possible. He also asked me to go to the old Kong family and take a look at your residence. The old Kong family's 'pigeon nest' is crowded enough to accommodate their whole family. It's hard for them to squeeze out a place for you to live. Xiao Mengyan, do you know that your brother Liu Wei is a big lazy bug? He usually doesn't do any housework. This time, when he cleaned up the house for you, he took the initiative to rush to work without my instructions. Don't waste your brother Liu Wei's hard work. Hurry up and agree to him and say that you agree to 'move in'..."

When Liu Wei's mother spoke, her eyes narrowed into slits with smile.

"Mom, why did you expose my past in front of sister Mengyan?"

Liu Wei looked embarrassed when he spoke.

"Whatever you hide in front of your sister, I will tell you so that Zhan Yingying can know your true nature and let her reform you. You are not a child anymore and you will have to start a family and a career. You must get rid of your laziness so that you can have fewer conflicts in your life. Men are stronger than women, so they should know how to love their wives and do more work. You have to change your nicknames of 'Third Young Master' and 'Third Young Master'..."

While Liu Wei's mother was speaking, she felt happy as she looked at Zhan Yingying, whose face was flushed with shame.

"Mom, look at you, you've gone too far and made Zhan Yingying blush. Now we're talking about sister Meng Yan's 'moving' issue, what are you talking about? Mom, go and do your work, you're here, we're reserved, let's talk, I still have to send one of them to school and the other to the barber shop. And it seems that the old lady of the Kong family has passed away, should we go to pay our respects?"

While Liu Wei was speaking, he pushed his mother towards the door.

"Okay, I'm leaving... Let you young people talk freely. I've prepared the food. After you finish chatting, come to the front yard to eat. I heard the funeral music played by the drums. I think your father went to the old Kong family. After you finish chatting and eating, I'll go to the old Kong family to take a look."

Liu Wei's mother said this as she walked towards the front yard.

"Today, let's do a nod instead of a shake. Sister Mengyan, if you agree to 'move', just nod your head and it'll be settled."

As Liu Wei spoke, he stared at Zhan Mengyan's head.

"Sister Mengyan, have you made up your mind? Please express your opinion. You are driving me crazy. No, let's go. Let's go back to the barber shop first and discuss with my third cousin to see if he agrees that you can live in the barber shop. But I can tell you that the barber shop is not as good as this place or the old Kong family. I live on a makeshift wooden bed at night, which has to be dismantled in the morning, otherwise there will be no place to stay."

Zhan Yingying showed an irritable expression when she spoke.

"Yingying, since the barber shop is so crowded, why don't you stay at my house? It's just right for you to keep Mengyan company."

Liu Wei couldn't hide his joy when he spoke.

"Liu Wei, you seem very happy to hear that our barber shop is crowded. Even if I sleep on the floor in the barber shop, I can't come to your house to live. First, sometimes customers come to get their hair cut at night. I can't live in your house. My third cousin will be the first to object to receiving customers for haircuts at night. I can feel it. My third cousin is not happy with my leaving the barber shop these two days. If I don't work hard to receive more customers for the barber shop, maybe he will consider firing me. Second, my sister is just staying at your house for a few days. I will find a way later. How can I, as a girlfriend, live in a man's house? It's not nice to say it. Wouldn't that ruin my own reputation?"

When Zhan Yingying spoke, she revealed her dissatisfaction with Liu Wei.

"I don't think as much as you do. I just want to make it convenient for you sisters. The stars don't ask the passers-by, and time will not let down those who work hard. You are stubborn and don't appreciate other people's kindness. You don't know what's good and what's bad, and you don't know the true heart. I, Liu Wei, have a clear conscience. 'A gentleman is open and honest, while a villain is always worried'... I silently endure misunderstandings, and my heart is filled with sorrow. Who can understand my helplessness and bitterness...

When Liu Wei spoke, he pretended to be very aggrieved.
