After Stealing a Retired Officer's Child, I Won Big in the 70s

35-year-old Jiang Li was unmarried and childless, running her own small company with an annual income of several million, living a wonderful life.

19-year-old Jiang Li was pretty but brainles...

Chapter 24 Generous Red Envelopes and Thank-You Gifts

"Yes, yes, yes, I need it very much!"

Jiang Honghua held Jiang Li's hands tightly, and because of excitement she pinched two red marks on her hands.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I was just too surprised! Jiang Li, I didn't expect you to be so amazing! Hurry up and help me put on my makeup. I want to be the most beautiful bride in Jiangjia Village today!"

The family Jiang Honghua was going to marry lived in Jiangjia Village. Since they were getting married within the same village, she got married at 9 o'clock in the morning.

If you marry far away, you should get married at 6 o'clock in the morning, so there is no time to prepare now.

Jiang Honghua was lucky, otherwise she would have had a bad day today.

Not to mention the most beautiful bride in Jiangjia Village, we should be thankful that she is not the ugliest.

Marriage is such an important thing, and it may only happen once in a lifetime. Which girl would not take it seriously?

Being able to put on beautiful makeup, style your hair nicely, and appear in front of everyone in a stunning way, this kind of life is wonderful! This is what girls want!

Jiang Honghua took out all her cosmetics, which her father had spent a lot of money to buy for her, and she closed her eyes on her own initiative.

The hairstyle Jiang Li had just done had completely changed her impression of her.

Now she can even tinker with the most important thing, her face, as she believes in Jiang Li's aesthetic taste.

Jiang Li first wiped off her previous makeup, and then redesigned her makeup according to her new hairstyle.

The cosmetics of this era were simpler, with not so many varieties, and the makeup applied was also simpler.

Jiang Honghua has dry skin, and her skin peels easily when she puts makeup on.

Jiang Li first gave her a simple moisturizing treatment with vanishing cream, applying a thick layer of vanishing cream on her face.

Then they trimmed her eyebrows. Although Jiang Honghua had an eyebrow razor, she didn't know how to do it. Her eyebrows were very thick and messy, and they didn't look good no matter how she used an eyebrow pencil.

Jiang Li trimmed her eyebrows into beautiful willow-shaped ones. After moisturizing and waiting for a while, Jiang Honghua's skin became much more moisturized. Her skin was originally white, so Jiang Li only applied a light layer of powder on her.

After trimming the eyebrows, use an eyebrow pencil to draw a beautiful eyebrow shape, apply brown eyeshadow on the face, apply a little blush on the cheeks, and then apply beautiful lipstick. A simple and beautiful bridal makeup is completed.

"Okay, open your eyes."

Jiang Honghua opened her eyes very quickly this time. She stared at herself in the mirror in amazement. Her simple and delicate makeup matched her wedding dress and hairstyle very well. This was definitely the most beautiful moment of her life.

"Jiang Li, I really like your makeup and hair. Thank you for what you did today!"

Jiang Honghua quickly took out the red envelope she had prepared long ago from the small drawer of her dressing table. After thinking for a while, she added two more dollars to her wallet.

According to the rules of the village, hairdressers who provide door-to-door services usually receive a red envelope of 2 to 3 yuan.

Jiang Li's hair was done up very delicately this time, and she also received a set of makeup as a gift. There were originally three yuan in the red envelope, and Jiang Honghua happily added two more yuan.

It's a once-in-a-lifetime thing. As long as your makeup and styling are decent and you can win the respect of your in-laws, it doesn't matter if you spend a little more money.

Jiang Li took the red envelope with a smile on her face and put it into her pocket without even counting it.

"Honghua, I have children to take care of at home. If you have nothing else to do, I'll leave first."

"Okay, okay, if you're busy, go back first. Remember to bring your brother to the free banquet at noon!"

Jiang Li helped with makeup and was also considered a logistics staff member for the wedding.

Generally, the host will invite these people to lunch and dinner.

Just as Jiang Li was about to go out, Jiang Honghua caught up with him carrying a bag of small gifts.

This is a gift prepared by the host family and is usually only given to close relatives and friends.

Jiang Honghua really liked Jiang Lipan's hair style, so she specially gave her a gift.

The bag contained two taels of noodles, two taels of sugar and some candies.

This was already a very valuable gift in the 1970s, and it was only because Jiang Honghua's family was extremely well-off that she could afford it. Jiang Li was a little flattered when he received it.

"Honghua, since you've already given the red envelope, can you skip the gift?"

"I can't exempt you. No matter who I exempt, I can't exempt you."

Jiang Honghua insisted on giving it to her, and although Jiang Li felt embarrassed, he still accepted it.

As soon as the door of the bride's room opened, everyone's eyes turned to look over.

Jiang Li came out! And he came out with a gift!

Looking closely, there was a little red on the edge of her pocket, which meant she even got a red envelope.

So Jiang Li’s hair-doing skills are really high?

So high that even someone as difficult as Jiang Honghua was willing to give her money and gifts?

The most surprised among these people were Aunt Wu and Aunt Liu.

When they invited Jiang Li over, they were not optimistic about her. Who would have thought that she could actually satisfy Jiang Honghua? This was a bit strange.

Aunt Liu winked at Aunt Wu, and Aunt Wu quickly pulled Jiang Li aside to chat with her.

Aunt Liu pushed open her daughter's door and was stunned the moment she saw her daughter in front of her.

This hairstyle is elegant and the makeup is bright and beautiful. My daughter's original appearance was just ordinary, but with this hairstyle, it's like she has changed her head.

If I had known that my daughter would look so beautiful after dressing up, I should have introduced her to a better partner.

"Mom! How does my hair look? Jiang Li even re-did my makeup!"

"Beautiful, stunningly beautiful! I've raised you for over 20 years before I realized how beautiful my daughter is!"

Aunt Liu couldn't take her eyes off her, and Jiang Honghua kept looking at herself in the mirror again and again, smiling foolishly from time to time.

She even envied Jiang Li a little, wishing her hands could be as dexterous as hers.

She can comb her hair beautifully and put on nice makeup every day, and she will always be as beautiful as she is today.

Aunt Liu chatted with her daughter for a few words and then left. Aunt Wu quickly pulled her aside and asked excitedly, "How's it going? Is Jiang Li's hair-doing skills really that good?"

"That's quite good. Honghua is so beautiful that she looks like a completely different person. I almost didn't recognize her!"

Aunt Liu kept rubbing her hands excitedly, and Aunt Wu was also piqued by her curiosity.

"Then can I go in and take a look first?"

"It's better not to go. You'll be able to see it during the noon worship ceremony."

The wedding ceremony time is chosen based on the birth date of the newlyweds, and there are many considerations involved.

Jiang Li went back with the gift, and everyone was looking at her along the way.

Now they are particularly looking forward to seeing Jiang Honghua's new hairstyle. They all want to see what changes have taken place in Jiang Honghua after Jiang Li's grooming.

Jiang Li returned home with a gift bag. The two babies were crying loudly. Jiang Yi hugged one and then the other. As soon as he put one down, the other started crying again. Just when he was getting anxious, he heard the sound of the door being pushed open.

Jiang Yi rushed out holding the second child. He quickly opened the door and threw himself into his sister's arms as if he had met a savior.

"Sister, you're finally back. They were too noisy. I couldn't handle it!"
