Chapter 29: Shiny Big Forehead
It’s weekend, Shi Yang goes to Zhao Meimei’s home for breakfast, and after finishing, he reports to Liu Xiue: "Aunt, I’m going shopping with Chaozi today, and I’ve taken Meimei with me."
Liu Xiue smiles warmly: "Go on, with you taking her, I’m relieved, so she doesn’t run wild with a bunch of mischievous kids outside."
Liu Xiue dresses Zhao Meimei in a clean short-sleeved shirt, thinking she needs to sit on the bike, she skips the dress, finds a pair of pale blue knee-length shorts for Zhao Meimei to wear, then drags her to wash up. After washing her face, she specially applies a bit of her own Snow Cream on Zhao Meimei.
Zhao Meimei gets a good rub on her face by her mom.
Liu Xiue holds a wooden comb and neatly ties Zhao Meimei’s sparse hair at the back of her head, smilingly watches the clean little darling, and laughs: "This big forehead, shiny and bright, it looks smart."
Zhao Meimei proudly shakes her head to her mom: "Does my forehead look good? Aunt Wang says my forehead is too big, bald on the sides."
Liu Xiue is annoyed, rolls her eyes: "Don’t listen to her nonsense. When I gave birth to you, I thought how wonderful it would be to have a darling like the one on a New Year’s picture, big forehead, smart and pretty."
Liu Xiue says this, lightly pats Zhao Meimei’s forehead: "Turned out, it really came true, isn’t it great."
Zhao Meimei beams with pleasure, looks at herself in the mirror showing her big forehead and finds it pretty good-looking too.
Shi Yang takes Zhao Meimei to meet Qu Chaozong, taking the small path along the river.
