Chapter 478: Chapter 478: Skipping Grades (8)_1

Ruan Jiaojiao was already used to their behavior and just hugged his neck, letting out a perfunctory scream.

Over there, Shu Jiao came over, glared at Ruan Jian/Guo, and said, "Jiaojiao’s head hasn’t fully recovered; you can’t shake it like that. Put her down! You’re both grown ups, act like it."

"Hahaha, I forgot. Jiaojiao, let’s go, daddy will take you to get a haircut." Ruan Jian/Guo laughed heartily and quickly put Ruan Jiaojiao down, but he didn’t put her on the ground, instead he carried her in his arms to the tricycle.

A few boys followed them to the tricycle, watched them leave, and then each headed home.

On the tricycle, Ruan Jian/Guo drove in the front, while the three of them sat in the covered compartment.

Ruan Jiaojiao sat in Shu Jiao’s arms, with Xiu Xi sitting across from them.

Ruan Jiaojiao, recalling her plan to skip a grade, worried she might forget again later, so she quickly told Shu Jiao about her intentions.

Hearing this, Shu Jiao wasn’t surprised.

Given Ruan Jiaojiao’s current level of knowledge, it really wasn’t necessary for her to waste another year in the first grade. With her cover, no one would be suspicious; at most, they would just credit her teaching skills.

She nodded her head, indicating she understood, "Okay, mom will handle it for you tomorrow." After saying this, she looked at Xiu Xi across from her, "Xiaoxi, same for you? Skipping a grade with Jiaojiao, no problem?"

"Mom, Brother Xi is really amazing, and..." remembering something but considering it too private, Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t reveal Xiu Xi’s true identity.

Instead, she changed the subject, "And Uncle has said, Brother Xi is especially smart, he could go directly into third grade."

Hearing that Shu Lang had said so, Shu Jiao felt reassured and said, "Okay, mom will take care of it for you tomorrow."

After sorting out this matter, Shu Jiao brought the conversation back to Ruan Jiaojiao’s hair, carefully fiddling with the hair around the scar on the back of her head, and asked, "Jiaojiao, what kind of haircut do you want, or should we just cut it shorter? It’ll all grow back in two months anyway."

Ruan Jiaojiao’s hair was already past her shoulders, she had always had long hair, tied in a ponytail.

But after this fall down the stairs, when they stitched up the back of her head, they had shaved off an area about the size of a baby’s fist. If she continued to wear a ponytail, it could cover it, but now the scar hadn’t healed, so she couldn’t tie her hair up and had to let it hang freely, making the bald spot at the back particularly conspicuous, shining whitely and eye-catching.

The Ruanlin Family’s opinion was to just shave it like a boy’s cut.

Like the other boys, it would be easier to wash during summer, and as it grew back, it wouldn’t look uneven.

Shu Jiao of course considered this option, but she preferred that Ruan Jiaojiao make her own decision.

"Like the brothers," Ruan Jiaojiao said somewhat painfully. She couldn’t see for herself, but she was aware of the odd looks from people around her, only kept at bay by her brothers and the silly wolves nearby. Otherwise, they wouldn’t dare to look openly lest they invite ridicule.

"Okay." Seeing her daughter seemed a bit unhappy, Shu Jiao lifted her onto her lap, and comforted her softly, "It’s alright, Jiaojiao is the prettiest no matter what."

Ruan Jiaojiao certainly didn’t believe that, the importance of a person’s hairstyle concerned their entire attractiveness.

But for now, there was simply no other choice.

In the 1980s, barber shops didn’t even have storefronts; they were essentially set up on the street.
