Chapter 233 Makeup Transformation

"You want a promotion?" Hearing the title being awarded, and considering Lu Yuxiu's strange state, Lin Xia suddenly had an idea.

Lu Yuxiu nodded without saying anything. He had made contributions in this mission again. Combined with his achievements from the previous missions, he could be promoted to the next level this time.

Lin Xia was proud of this man, but she was more worried. "I am proud of you for these honors, but I want you to come back safely."

He looked at Lu Yuxiu with a determined look, hoping that he could understand.

"I know." He understood what Lin Xia didn't say.

Every time she came back from going out, she would hold him and look at him for a long time, fearing that he might have some injuries on his body.

"What about the child?" She knew about the party because Director Pei came to her and hoped that she could perform on behalf of the family members. After all, she had a better image and could look more presentable on stage.

But since she had two children at home, Lin Xia refused. She didn't have any talent to show, and even her singing was at the level of nursery rhymes. The only thing she was good at was cooking, but she couldn't go on stage to cook.

Director Pei felt it was a pity. Yang Hongmei said it was a rare opportunity when she found out. But Lin Xia still refused firmly. If she really went on stage, it would not be a performance, it would be making a fool of herself.

"It's okay. It's okay to bring it with you. There will be a performance after the party, so you can come back early." Lu Yuxiu had asked in advance, and the party wouldn't be held very late.

"That's good!" Lin Xia felt relieved.

"Mom, can I go and watch?" An An asked curiously. She heard there were performances!

"Then come back and finish your homework early." An An has officially become an elementary school student and has homework to do every day when he comes home.

"I promise to finish it quickly!" An An's eyes lit up and he promised immediately.

After dinner, Lin Xia went to wash the dishes while Lu Yuxiu took care of the two little ones. Their faces were covered with noodles, like little cats, and there was quite a bit of noodles on the floor.

Lu Yuxiu directly cooperated with Lin Xia on how to raise children. Other families would hold their children while feeding them, but when Lin Xia asked them to exercise their fingers, Lu Yuxiu immediately agreed.

In the family area, many people would chase after their children with bowls in their hands to feed them. Lin Xia couldn't comment on this, but she certainly couldn't do that.

If the child doesn't eat, she thinks that the child is not hungry yet, and will definitely eat when he is hungry.

Unfortunately, she seemed to have given birth to two foodies. They never complained about not eating and were often not full.

On August 1st, Lu Yuxiu was not there during the day, so Lin Xia took the children directly from home. This was her first time to go there, although it was only at a base outside.

"Is Xiaoxia okay?" Yang Hongmei came to find Lin Xia early, with excitement in her voice.

There have not been many grand scenes like this in the past, and everyone in the family area is looking forward to it, after all, the military wives will also be there to perform.

"Sister-in-law, please come in and wait, I'll be there soon!" Lin Xiaren did not appear, but her voice came out.

"Great!" Yang Hongmei went into the house and saw Lin Xia braiding her hair. She looked so cute with one braid on each side.

The two little guys in the fence saw someone coming and babbled something in their mouths.

"Okay." Lin Xia tied up An An's two little pigtails with a small red rope, and there were two small pendants hanging on both sides. It looked very cute!

"Oh my, this is so beautiful!" Yang Hongmei kept praising from the side, and then looked at Lin Xia, who was wearing a light blue dress, very elegant.

"Did you do something on your face?" Yang Hongmei suddenly asked.

Lin Xia’s skin was dazzlingly white, but the most striking feature was her red lips, which were bright red and eye-catching, and her eyebrows were curved. Her beauty used to be too aggressive, making people feel distant.

But since she became a mother, her beauty has added a bit of gentleness, and there is often a smile between her eyebrows.

"Can you see that I drew the eyebrows? And the mouth too." Lin Xia raised her face to show Yang Hongmei.

She wanted to put on makeup, but she had no tools or cosmetics. In this era, cosmetics were associated with the bourgeoisie, and many beauty products were banned. The only ones that were available were only available to people in art troupes who needed to perform.

Even if the art troupe goes to buy it, they need to apply for it. The only things ordinary people pursue for beauty are vanishing cream and floral water.

"This is so beautiful!" Yang Hongmei was at a loss for words. She just felt that Lin Xia looked very energetic and beautiful today, and she didn't even think about putting on makeup.

Lin Xia heard the envy in her tone and asked with a smile: "Do you want to try it?"

"Can I, too?" Yang Hongmei asked in surprise, feeling excited but a little hesitant.

"Of course! Come and sit down!" Lin Xia asked Yang Hongmei to sit down and looked at her face carefully. She was not old, but she did not take care of herself on a daily basis and did not pay attention to many things. Her face did not look very good and there were many wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.

Yang Hongmei had a pretty face, but her hairstyle wasn't very suitable. She usually tied her hair up casually, and her eyebrows were never trimmed, so they looked shapeless. Lin Xia took out the knife she used.

"Sister-in-law, let me trim your eyebrows, don't be nervous." Lin Xia was afraid that she would dodge, so she gave her a shot in advance. If she didn't want to, then forget it.

"It's okay. I leave it to you. Do whatever you want with it!" Yang Hongmei was quite carefree. She closed her eyes and didn't worry at all that Lin Xia would break it.

Since she trusted him so much, Lin Xia just let go and did it. She first trimmed her eyebrows. Yang Hongmei's eyebrows were very thick, so there was no need to touch up the color. She just needed to add some eyebrow tail.

"Sister-in-law, you still need to wipe your face regularly." Lin Xia looked around the corners of her eyes and could tell that her master didn't take good care of herself. Not only did she have many wrinkles, but her skin was also very dry.

Yang Hongmei would apply vanishing cream when the weather is cold, but now in July and August, she feels that the vanishing cream is sticky and doesn't like to apply it.

"Even if it's sticky, you still have to apply it. You can rub it on your hands a little more before applying it on your face." Lin Xia told her a method. There are also many sticky facial creams in later generations, but most of them are not well emulsified.

As long as you do it well on your hands, the stickiness will be much better.

"Are you so particular? This is how I always apply it." Yang Hongmei made the gesture of scooping out cold cream with her hands, and then applied it on her face, rubbing her hands on her face as if washing something.

Lin Xia frowned as she watched. Was she rubbing her face like a potato? It would be strange if she didn't age like this!
