half-baked life

Chapter 20 Why is there a “second face” everywhere?Two-faced?
"What nonsense are you talking about! He'er's incision has only been growing for a few days, so you just drink?"

Liang Xiujing slapped Jiang Xiaoping on the back, "You, no matter how old you are, you don't look like a mother at all. You just come up with your ideas, right He'er?"

"Grandma, you are right!" Jiang He trotted down the steps that Liang Xiujing and Jiang Xiaoping had built for her. She rested her cheek on Grandma's thigh and followed her in a mocking tone.

"But my mother has made a lot of progress in the past few years. Don't always criticize her. Instead, give her some appropriate encouragement. I think that's fine."

"You idiot, you really can't offend both sides!" Jiang Xiaoping looked at the grandfather and grandson hugging each other in front of her, and rolled her eyes seemingly speechless, but in fact, she felt very happy in her heart.

"Then let's... sing karaoke? How about dancing? By the way, how about a script? There's a new one recently, and it's said to be very touching."

Jiang Xiaoping's proposal was completely rejected by Lao'er.

"Let me tell you, let's go take a bath. It just so happens that I've been suffering from scratches for the past two days. I want to take a bath to relieve my fatigue and get rid of my bad luck."

"My grandma is wise!" Jiang He immediately raised his hands in approval.

Jiang Xiaoping knew that this would be the result. After all these years, she had not figured out why Jiang He and her mother loved taking baths so much. She didn’t know whether it was because of their nature or because of her profession. .

"When the three of us go out to take a bath together, I wonder if you two are 'fish' people."

"We He'er belong to the boiled fish family, right?" Liang Xiujing touched Jiang He's face lovingly, and Jiang He's heart suddenly became soft. This was what she said when she was four or five years old. Silly words, I didn’t expect grandma to remember them all the time.

She was soaking in an oversized red plastic basin with a wet hot towel on her head. She inexplicably disliked the fact that her zodiac sign was sheep, "Sheep can only bleat and can't swim. I want to be a fish." It’s a boiled fish!”

"Okay! Bubble, go to my place. We won't be soaking the floats today. No one is allowed to get up!"

Jiang Xiaoping said that she was so heroic, but it really turned out that Jiang He went down to the pool and soaked for only 5 minutes. Jiang Xiaoping, holding her watch, said that the time was up, and rushed her to the edge of the soup pool without any reason. The bath was instantly downgraded to Soak your feet.

"Haha... What kind of bathing is this for He'er? The most it's like is kissing in hot water!"

Instead of helping her mother, Liang Xiujing actually followed her and "added insult to injury". However, she couldn't be proud for a while, as Jiang Xiaoping held her arm and walked out of the soup pool in a disgraceful manner.

"You shouldn't take baths at your age. If you take baths for a long time, your blood pressure will rise. That's great."

"My blood pressure has been fine for a long time. Xiaoping, please let me soak for a while...and another ten...5 minutes, okay? Just 5 minutes."

"Oh, grandma, does it make any difference to soak for five more minutes? Come out quickly, my mother is doing this for your own good!"

Seeing that Jiang Xiaoping was about to let go, Jiang He simply came up with a trick to "snatch the fire". He put the slippers on the edge of the pool with unusual diligence, and then rolled out the bathrobe and wrapped it around Liang Xiujing. He seemed not to notice the whole process. My grandma’s murderous gaze and smile are so endearing.

"Be careful. The place is full of water and a bit slippery. Don't fall." "Look at the good girl you raised!" Liang Xiujing glared at Jiang Xiaoping sadly.

"You deserve half of the credit for this!" Jiang Xiaoping laughed so hard that she deserved a beating.

The three of them went upstairs, grandma went for a pedicure, and Jiang Xiaoping took Jiang He to do skin care together. Jiang He was applying a facial mask and was so comfortable that he almost fell asleep. Suddenly he heard a familiar voice in the bath room next door. A bright female voice came over.

"Ouch, what happened to my little sister's back? Is it sunburned by Hun'er's painting? Ouch, my aunt feels distressed just looking at it, let's give it a shot? Okay, how about adding some red wine... Oops, Isn't this necessary? This back is a woman's second face. Let's take good care of it during the winter. By next summer, it will be as tender as green onion. Once you wear the little sling, you won't be able to charm those brats! "

"Why is the sound insulation in this room so bad? Didn't Hu Gong come to the store?" Jiang Xiaoping obviously heard it, opened her eyes and asked the beautician.

"I came to see it the day before yesterday. They said that two layers of sound insulation materials need to be installed, and it is best to build a background wall or something. They said it would take at least more than a week. Manager Zhao was afraid of delaying the store's business, so he said to wait. We’ll do it after the New Year.”

"...My sister, your skin is so good. Why is it so slippery? It's like a peeled egg! Listen to me, let's add a clay rub, otherwise I'm afraid of breaking your skin. Okay... OK, I'll mark it down for you. Xiao Zhang, come and give the big girl a rub!
Hearing this, Jiang He was already sure that the whirring and greetings were from Zhang Jiefang.

"Mom, Aunt Jiefang still has such a loud voice. Has she been working for you for 20 years?"

"It will be exactly 8 years next August. She came around the same time as her, and she is the only one left."

Jiang Xiaoping still remembers that Xiaoping's bathroom had just been opened for less than half a year. In order to save money, she was busy at the counter and looking at the female baths by herself. Later, she was really too busy, so she decided to hire a female bath attendant with red bottoms. Just half a day after the black-lettered recruitment notice was posted, Zhang Jiefang came to apply.

"I've never had sex in a bathhouse, but I have plenty of strength. How about I give you a rub now?" Before Jiang Xiaoping could react, Zhang Jiefang had already picked up the bath towel on the counter and was about to put it on her arm. call.

If Jiang Xiaoping hadn't worn a coat with tight sleeves that day, the strength of Zhang Jiefang's arms would have definitely rubbed off a layer of her skin.

"...This hand is a woman's second face. You must not be careless. How about we make a hand mask later?"

Zhang Jiefang's overly aggressive promotion interrupted Jiang Xiaoping's memories. Next to her, Jiang He and her beautician were already unable to hold back their laughter.

Jiang Xiaoping couldn't help but sit up and asked her beautician to go next door to remind Zhang Jiefang, "Tell her to keep her voice down a little bit... Also, let's change the words, why is there a 'second face' everywhere? Two-skinned face" ?"

When Jiang He heard this, he burst out laughing at the mask.

When it was almost eleven o'clock, the three of them finally had enough to eat, drink and have fun. As soon as they came out of the dressing room arm in arm, they found the lobby noisy.

A middle-aged woman with brown hair was pushing a skinny old man in a wheelchair and arguing with the store manager.

Several security guards poked awkwardly at the side. Not only did they not dare to force themselves, but they also had to be careful not to get hit in the face by the old man's waving cane. The scene was really funny, and naturally attracted many people to watch. Among them was the guy with a towel wrapped around his waist and shampoo foam on his head watching the fun.
