Daddy's Gourmet Shop-Chapter 274 - 265: Cute Cat Ear New Year Hairstyle
The next day.
"How about I braid your hair in a centipede braid today?"
Huang Tao stood behind her, gathering Xuanxuan’s hair on one side, and smilingly asked for his little girl’s opinion.
Xuanxuan, having washed up and put on her fragrant lotion, sat still in front of the glass mirror, obediently letting her dad do her hair.
But although Xuanxuan was being very good, she didn’t want that hairstyle. She gently shook her little head and asked, "Daddy, can I have a different hairstyle today?"
Hmm, alright, it’s those old hairstyles...
The kids have all gotten tired of them, and no one praised her hair anymore~
"Of course!"
The understanding Huang Tao agreed to her request and smilingly asked, "So what kind of hairstyle does Xuanxuan want instead?"
This question stumped Xuanxuan.
She pressed her little finger against her chubby cheek and tilted her little head, thinking for quite a while before saying, "Xuanxuan doesn’t know, just different from before and it has to be pretty, Daddy, how about you decide!"
Hmm~
Deciding on this is quite the brain teaser!
He let go of the hair he had gathered from Xuanxuan.
Somewhat troubled, he took out his phone.
He opened up his browser and navigated to the page where he had saved children’s hairstyle options.
While carefully scrolling through them, he said, "Then Daddy will look for a nice hairstyle."
"Daddy, I want to see too, I want to see too~"
After speaking, as Xuanxuan was about to make a 180-degree turn to face her dad, her dad’s voice rang in her ears: "Okay, Daddy will hand it over for you to see."
Before he had even finished speaking! 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
He turned and handed the phone to her, allowing her to choose.
Her little finger deftly swiped the phone screen, picking and choosing, picking and choosing...
Finally.
She was drawn to an interesting hairstyle.
Her eyes lit up, and she pointed her little finger at the picture on the phone: "Daddy, I want this~"
Huang Tao leaned in for a look and chuckled, "Oh, it’s the cute cat ears New Year hairstyle!"
Xuanxuan asked expectantly, "Daddy, can I have it?"
"It should be possible, but Daddy needs to first look at this tutorial."
He took the phone from Xuanxuan’s hand and then looked at the tutorial for that hairstyle.
It looked quite simple.
There was a look of worry in Xuanxuan’s blinking eyes, and she couldn’t help but ask, "Daddy, have you learned it?"
He nodded: "I think so, let me try doing it for you first!"
"Yay~"
Xuanxuan happily sat properly.
"Okay, the first step is to section the hair into a small ponytail, then thread the velvet ribbon through and braid a three-strand plait..."
Huang Tao narrated while combing Xuanxuan’s hair straight, then took a small section at the top right side of her head, tied it with a tie, and then threaded the ribbon through it.
He braided it with the hair into a three-strand braid.
Used a hair tie to secure it into the shape of cat ears.
Braided all the hair on one side.
Placed the braid above the cat ear and secured it with a clip.
Did the same on the other side!
After watching the tutorial, he carefully and competently tied Xuanxuan’s cute cat ear New Year hairstyle.
"Wow, Daddy, Daddy is amazing!"
Xuanxuan looked at herself in the mirror, unable to tear her eyes away, and exclaimed in wonder.
Her rosy little mouth unconsciously formed an ’O’ shape, big enough to fit a small egg, but she instinctively covered it with her chubby little hand like a proper little lady.
Huang Tao, hearing his precious daughter’s praise, felt his sense of achievement soaring once again!
Happily, he leaned over and asked her, "Do you like it?"
"Yes, I like it!"
Xuanxuan clapped her small hands excitedly, then turned 180 degrees to face her dad, her eyes crinkling with a smile, "Daddy, bend down."
Huang Tao obediently complied.
"Mwah~"
Xuanxuan leaned in and planted a sweet kiss on her dad’s cheek as a reward.
Huang Tao smiled.
Feeling it was all worth it!
"Oh, right, Mimi~"
She suddenly remembered to show this lovely hairstyle to her good friend Mimi.
She trotted her little legs over to Mimi’s cat bed, pointed at her two cat ear hairstyle, and said to Mimi, "Mimi, look, I have cat ears too~"
"Meow~"
Mimi lazily lifted her gaze to glance at her, then incredulously widened her eyes as if to say: Are you still the little master I know, the esteemed feline being?
"Daddy, did you hear, Mimi said my hairstyle looks nice!" Xuanxuan happily said to her dad, who was behind her.
Mimi: "..."
If little master thinks so, then it must be so...
"Daddy heard it."
Huang Tao nodded with a smile, picking up Xuanxuan’s woolen hat to put it on her: "Come on, Daddy will put on your hat and scarf, and we can go to the store."
"No, no, I don’t want to wear a hat."
Xuanxuan worried the hat would ruin her cat ear hairstyle, so she refused to wear it.
"Alright!"
Having no other option, Huang Tao put on her down jacket and scarf. If it got windy, he would just use the large hood of the down jacket to cover her.
Just then.
The phone rang.
Upon checking, it was a call from his mother, Song Cailian.
Worried, he answered it: "Mom, why are you calling so early? Is something wrong at home?"
Song Cailian’s voice drifted over the line: "Nothing’s wrong at home. It’s just that your dad’s workplace gave out two boxes of red mandarins, and they’re very sweet. I sent a box to you and Xuanxuan last night and forgot to tell you. Just remembered this morning, so I’m letting you know to make sure you receive it."
"Oh, got it."
Huang Tao chuckled: "Did you and Dad get up yet?"
"Yes, we got up. Your dad is making breakfast!"
Song Cailian chuckled and continued, "Oh, by the way, Tao, there’s something else. Your uncle said he’s heard about your successful store and hasn’t had the chance to visit. He wants to take advantage of this Saturday’s break to bring your aunt and cousin to see you at your store!"
Huang Tao was naturally very welcoming to his uncle’s family coming over.
"If Uncle and Aunt want to come, just let them! I’ll definitely cook them a great meal so they can try my cooking. I’ll send your uncle the location of the store so he can drive over on Saturday."
Laughing, Song Cailian said, "No need for the location. Your uncle will come here first to pick us up, and I’ll guide him over to your place..."
Huang Tao nodded: "Alright, just coordinate with Uncle over there. It’ll indeed be more convenient for him to drive and bring you guys."
This way, his parents wouldn’t have to carry big bags while taking the bus.
Xuanxuan wriggled into his embrace under his arm, clutched his hand, and said to the phone: "Grandma, I miss you!"
"Xuanxuan, Grandma misses you too! Grandma will come see you this Saturday."
Xuanxuan happily nodded: "Okay!"
After a few more mutual reminders.
Huang Tao hung up and, with Xuanxuan and Mimi in his arms, headed out the door.
