Traveling through troubled times to escape famine and cultivate crops as a grain merchant

Zhou Guo nodded, as long as he had figured it out.

The food problem has been solved, but the biggest problem now is still the lack of water.

There is no more fried noodles, and a lot of water is needed to cook barley rice for each meal. With the little water they brought, it can only be used for two or three meals in total, not to mention drinking it.

She looked around as she walked, scratching her hair and body from time to time. The more she scratched, the more itchy it became, and the more annoyed she became. She rubbed her hair. Her short, furry hair had already become tangled, and she had never washed it since there was no water.

That is, the whole body is dirty and emits a sour and smelly smell, and the smell on the head is not so obvious.

The smell wasn't that obvious, but it was itchy, and she could even feel the lice crawling in her hair.

It's so itchy.

While taking a break, she stopped wandering around and took out a pair of scissors from the cart, and cut her hair with a few clicks.

Li, who was standing by, was stunned.

By the time I realized what was happening, the kid had already cut his hair several times. "Hey, hey, hey, kid, what are you doing? Why did you cut your own hair?!"

Rushed forward to stop him.

Zhou Guo dodged and continued to cut his hair, saying, "Mom, I have lice in my hair. It's itchy. If they keep biting me like this, they'll suck all my blood dry."

Li was anxious, "You can't cut your hair, and you cut it so short, stop it, it looks like this, do you want to become a nun if you keep cutting it?"

When Huang heard the noise, she turned around and saw her granddaughter cutting her hair with a pair of scissors. The hair on the right half of her head had been almost cut, leaving only flat stubble on it, like rice stubble after harvesting. She almost fainted.

Xu exclaimed, "Guoguo, what are you doing?"

The brothers and sisters looked over and opened their mouths in shock.

Li was so anxious that she wanted to snatch the scissors away but was afraid that the scissors would hurt the child. Looking at the stubble of her hair, tears were about to fall. "Stop it, stop it. Why are you so hard on your hair? How can a girl like you be seen in public when her hair is cut like this? Come on, give it to me."

Zhou Guo was not willing to give it to him. He picked up the scissors and soon his ear-length hair looked like it had been gnawed by a dog, with dents here and bulges there.

People around heard the noise and looked over. They saw her using a pair of scissors to cut her beautiful hair into this shape. They were so shocked that they were speechless for a moment.

"What kind of evil spirit has possessed the girl from the Zhou family? Why is she messing up her hair for no reason?"

"Oh my, how can you face people with a haircut like this? You'll be laughed at to death. Do you still look like a girl?"

……

There was endless discussion.

Huang barely supported herself and looked at her granddaughter's hair which was already in a mess. She stopped shouting, waved her hands and sat down with a dead look on her face. This girl's hands were so quick that she had cut it all in such a short time. Could she still continue the hair?

Li looked at her daughter's head with tears in her eyes, blaming herself for not stopping her and not keeping an eye on her. She thought that her daughter didn't know the difference between beauty and ugliness at such a young age, and would be laughed at for the rest of her life. She didn't know how people would blame her as a mother when she grew up.

Zhou Guo shook his head and smiled. He felt much more refreshed. Now these lice have no place to hide, right?

As I was thinking about it, I felt something landing next to my ear. I instinctively reached out to grab it and saw a bug with many legs on the front half of its body crawling on my finger. It was a louse!

It was this thing that was playing tricks on her head. She pinched it expressionlessly, and as she exerted force, the louse burst into blood. All the blood was hers!

He glanced at his shoulder and saw a few crawling on it. He calmly reached out his hand to swat them away. After that, he touched his head and felt that it was still a little long. He smiled and looked at Li, wanting her to help trim it.

Only then did she realize that her mother's eyes were red, and she looked at her with a look of heartache and self-blame.

The people around her also looked at her masterpiece with ambiguous expressions.

He couldn't help but touch her head and comforted Li: "Mother, don't be sad, it's not like it won't grow anymore, it will grow again in a short time, I just can't help it, my hair is so long and I haven't washed it, it's smelly and tangled, that's not all, it's infested with lice, these lice are sucking my blood all day long on my head, if this goes on, my blood will be sucked out."

Li said, "Shut up now. Why do you say anything? I really should show you what you look like now."

Huang sighed deeply and said weakly, "Forget it, forget it. It's already been cut. What else can it do? It can't be spliced ​​anymore. You should fix it quickly. How can people see it?"

Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "That's good. Miss Guo has little hair anyway. It will grow better after a cut. It will also be cool and you don't need to wash it."

Her brothers looked at her short hair and felt a little envious. It didn't need to be combed or washed, and was cool and easy to take care of.

Zhou Su and Zhou Tao looked at their sister's short hair and rolled their eyes away.

Li had no choice but to take the scissors and walked behind her daughter. However, looking at the stubble in front of her, she didn't know where to start and kept complaining, "You cut it too short. I've never cut your hair so short before. It's hard to trim it when I cut it close to the roots."

Zhou Guo said: "Then shave it." A bald head is easier to manage.

Li: "..." What did she give birth to? Which girl wants to shave her head?

She looked around, picked up the scissors and started trimming her hair bit by bit. As she trimmed, she said, "You are eight years old now. You can't have your hair cut casually anymore. You have to let it grow long and tie it up, just like your sister's hair. Look at your sister's long black hair. It's so beautiful."

Zhou Guo looked over and felt no envy at all. It was so long and so hot, and it hadn't been washed for so many days. It smelled so bad. The lice must have given birth to countless offspring in it.

Li trimmed the hair for a long time, and seeing that it was getting shorter and shorter, he felt helpless. It was cut too short, and no matter how he trimmed it, it would not look good. It looked weird. He had been tanned recently, and after cutting his hair, he looked like a black country boy.

The adults in the family couldn't bear to watch it.

People around her looked at her hairstyle, some laughed, some sympathized with her, and some tried to comfort her.

Zhou Guo, however, pretended not to see or hear anything, and felt very happy with this head that looked like a prisoner's. When he had time, he would touch it a few times. It felt refreshed, no longer itchy, and the lice were gone.

Zhou Su and Zhou Tao were so envious that when their family members were not paying attention, they secretly took out a pair of scissors and ran to the side to cut their own hair.

By the time their family members found out, both of their hair had been cut off.

This shocked the family. Xu was the first one to disagree. She wondered how could her good daughter's hair be cut like this, making her look like a bad boy.
