Mrs. Dou prepared beans, embroidery needles and tea tree roots.
She asked Axiang to stand still, and while taking two beans first, she said to her: "Mom is about to start, I have already told you, please remember not to move around later."
Axiang nodded, like a little adult, "Mom, come on, Axiang is not afraid of pain."
"Well, Ah Xiang is so brave." Mrs. Dou smiled, put a bean behind the ear, and a bean in front of the ear, clamped the earlobe together, and then pinched and rubbed hard.
As soon as she moved her hand, Axiang screamed out in pain and called out to her mother. She gritted her teeth to hold back, tears welling up in her eyes.
As she rubbed harder and harder, Axiang burst out crying, "Mom, it hurts too much! Be gentle, be gentle!"
"This can't be done lightly." Mrs. Dou patted her without stopping or reducing the force on her hand.
Not to mention rubbing it with beans and rubbing it hard until the ear skin becomes thin and loses consciousness, even just pinching the earlobe with your hands will make you feel painful. Song Qiu looked at it and was very glad that he was already like this when he came.
If you are too old, you don’t have to endure this sin.
She was so tortured that she wished she had an earring gun to help her and give someone a happy ending.
Seeing Axiang crying with tears streaming down her face, I quickly brought her some snacks to divert her attention.
After a while, Mrs. Dou stopped, took an embroidery needle, heated it on the candle flame, then poked it through the thinned earlobe, and then penetrated it.
Axiang was already numb from the pain, but now she didn't feel any pain when she was poked by the needle.
After the penetration, Dou retrieved the needle, put a clean tea tree root soaked in wine through the pierced ear hole, and then rubbed the other ear with beans.
I had already experienced pain once before, and this one was okay. Although it was still very painful, Axiang didn't cry twice while eating the sweet snacks.
When Ah Xiang was all dressed, Dou looked at Ah Ling with a smile, "How are you, Miss Song? Are you afraid? If not, it's up to you."
Ah Ling watched the whole process and understood that this is how the ear piercing was done. She said that she was not afraid at all. Who wouldn't be more painful when she was hit by a sword than when her ears were rubbed?
He sat down and said, "Come on, Auntie."
It was only after she sat down that she realized what Mrs. Dou called Miss Song. She was about to say that her surname was not Song, but she shrank back when the words came to her lips.
If your surname is Song, just use Song as your surname. You can also use the same surname as sister Aqiu.
Her master didn't know his own surname, so he took her master's surname. Later he picked her up and called her "Girl" at first. Then he found out that she was quite talented in martial arts, so he called her "A Ling".
After all, she doesn't even have a last name.
Song Ling, Song Ling, is pretty good.
Mrs. Dou also thought that this girl had refused to have her ears pierced since she was a child because she was afraid of the pain. It must have been difficult now, but when she rubbed the beans in, she hissed and looked as if nothing happened.
Do you really have to grow up to have your ears pierced before it hurts?
Mrs. Dou couldn't help but become suspicious. The force on her hand increased until her earlobe became thinner, and the embroidery needle penetrated into it, but Aling didn't make a sound.
After both ears were pierced, Mrs. Dou felt a little certain when she saw A Ling acting like this.
Her cousin's daughter was about to have her ears pierced, but because she was afraid of the pain, she couldn't even get through the douzi test, so she never got it done. Her cousin was so anxious that she couldn't bear to force her daughter to have her ears pierced.
How about she tell her cousin to wait until the ring grows bigger before wearing it for her?
Ah Ling didn't know that just because she wasn't afraid of the pain, another little girl didn't have her ears pierced until she grew up, and then she cried out for her father and mother in pain.
At this moment, she saw in the bronze mirror that both of her ears were pierced with tea tree roots. She was very happy and asked Mrs. Dou, "Auntie, how long will it take for them to grow enough to wear earrings?"
"This is different for everyone. When I was a child, I wore it in the winter. It was too cold and I suffered from chilblains. It didn't grow well until the spring. I even suffered a lot of pain later."
So she remembered this sin and chose this time to pierce her daughter's ears.
"With the weather like this, I'm not afraid of pus or frostbite. I can wear earrings in a month at most. If they heal quickly, I can wear them in half a month!"
After hearing this, Aling said: "I am thick-skinned and thick-skinned, so I will definitely recover quickly!"
Mrs. Dou couldn't help but laugh with Song Qiu, "Your sister is so pretty, but she says she has rough skin and thick flesh. She is really an interesting girl."
Song Qiu didn't explain much, just said: "Isn't she just skin?"
"I see that you two sisters are very talented. Your mother has raised you so well that I can't help but want to learn from her. My Axiang is only six years old, and she still needs to be taught."
After having her ears pierced, Ms. Dou was willing to sit down and relax, since she had nothing to do in the afternoon.
As he spoke, he looked around and asked curiously: "Is that your father outside? Why didn't you see your mother? Didn't you come at home?"
Song Qiu shook his head, "My father died of illness when I was very young, and my mother also died two years ago."
Both parents died?
Mrs. Dou was stunned, she did not expect such a situation.
"Then who else is there in Miss Song's family?"
Song Qiu smiled lightly, "I still live with my grandmother at home."
After hearing this, Mrs. Dou paused. Her son was old enough to talk about marriage. Although he was studying in school and could read and write, he was not qualified to take the imperial examination.
They have already discussed that if they can read and write well and learn abacus well, it would be a good idea to find a job as an accountant when they get out.
So when looking at her daughter-in-law, she doesn't think about how good the conditions are, it just needs to be about the same as theirs. The main thing is that she has good talents.
First, she looked at Miss Song. She thought for a moment that this girl was decent-looking and generous. Then she looked at her family background. From a wealthy family, she would be a good wife.
I never thought that she was a bereaved and orphaned girl.
She only has one son, so it seems inappropriate to marry such a wife.
forget it.
Mrs. Dou's mind calmed down and stopped thinking about it, so she stopped asking about the other party's situation.
After agreeing and relaxing for half an hour, he took his daughter and left.
After Dou's mother and daughter left, Aling put down the bronze mirror, put a piece of snack into his mouth, and looked at Song Qiu while eating, "Sister Ah Qiu, I look at Aunt Dou as if she wants to marry you, but...
I heard that I only have grandma and no parents, so I just stopped talking."
She curled her lips as she spoke, "What's wrong with having no father and no mother? Don't you think you're worthy of getting married?"
After swallowing the snacks in her mouth, she took a few steps and sat down next to Song Qiu. She held her chin and said, "Sister Ah Qiu, you still want to show me your love. How about you help me follow her?"
Nai, tell me, don’t let me get married, can I also recruit a son-in-law?”
"Is it so easy for you to become a son-in-law?" Song Qiu poured chicken soup for her, "Have you still lost confidence in getting married because of this? How could your true love dislike you in this way or that? You really
When you meet this person, he only cares about you, how can he see anyone else?"
Ah Ling shrugged her nose and smiled mischievously, "You mean Zhou Shitou and Li Yang, right? I can only see one person in my heart. They are the only two people I have ever seen."
Song Qiu:......
She coughed and changed the subject: "How old were you when you were taken in by your master? Do you still remember what happened before that?"
Aling thought for a moment and shook his head: "I was only two years old when Master picked me up. I was thrown into the bushes with nothing but a piece of cloth wrapped around me, so Master couldn't find my family.
You have no choice but to take me around the world!"
