On this day, the wedding of Hu Songlin and Zhou Yunxing finally took place.
Zhou Yunxing and Hu Songlin were both getting married for the first time, so their weddings were much more lively.
"It will be even better with lipstick." Li Xia applied a thin layer of lipstick on Zhou Yunxing's lips. This lipstick was given to her by Hu Songlin.
Zhou Yunxing looked at herself in the mirror and felt that she could hardly recognize herself.
"Sister-in-law, is this really me?" Zhou Yunxing asked in disbelief. She remembered that when she participated in the factory's program before, she looked uglier with makeup than without makeup. She didn't expect that she looked so beautiful today.
Actually, she is quite pretty, but her skin is not very white.
Li Xia did not follow the aesthetic standards of that era. She drew her eyebrows as black as charcoal, painted her face pale and then rubbed on some highland red.
She trimmed Zhou Yunxing's messy eyebrows into curved willow-leaf eyebrows, which were very suitable for Zhou Yunxing's face shape. She didn't ask for her skin to be too white, as long as it was even and had a healthy complexion.
It obviously doesn’t look like she’s wearing any makeup, but she looks much better than before. This is the nude makeup feeling that people in later generations pursue.
With a few small changes, you can achieve a big improvement in your appearance.
"Of course it's you. Who else could it be if not you?" Li Xia said with a smile.
Zhou Yunxing said: "Sister-in-law, you have such a skillful hand."
Just then, someone outside said, "The groom is here to pick up the bride!"
Li Xia held up a red umbrella and walked out with Zhou Yunxing.
When Hu Songlin saw Zhou Yunxing, his eyes were full of surprise and joy. When he squatted down to carry Zhou Yunxing on his back, he whispered, "Wife, you look really good today."
After taking a bus to the staff housing estate, Hu Songlin had already applied for the estate in the past half month. He had also bought furniture and decorated the new house beautifully.
Li Xia is not from Zhou Yunxing's family, but she came with her family to do her makeup.
Gu Weicheng, as a member of the wedding reception team, came with Li Xia, while An An was waiting in the family compound with Ma Aidang and others.
The meal was about to start. Li Xia and An An were just about to find a seat to sit down when they heard someone calling her, "Teacher Li, Teacher Li, sit here!"
When I looked back, I found out it was Lin Jinghe.
Little Chenchen was sitting next to Lin Jinghe. Chenchen was just one and a half years old. He was late in speaking and could only say mom and dad now. He couldn't call out Li Xia, so he smiled at Li Xia.
"Little Chenchen." Li Xia walked over and teased Chenchen.
Seeing Li Xia’s smiling face, Lin Jinghe pulled Li Xia to sit together. He also liked An An very much, so he took out two chocolates from his pocket and gave them to An An.
However, when he saw Gu Weicheng behind Li Xia and An An, he couldn't help shrinking his neck and winked at Deputy Head Yan beside him: "Old Yan, you men need to drink, you guys sit next to each other, and I'll sit next to Teacher Li."
So, Gu Weicheng watched helplessly as Deputy Captain Yan separated him from his wife and children.
When Li Xia saw Lin Jinghe like this, she couldn't help but laugh.
She had clearly found an opportunity last time to explain to Lin Jinghe that the reason why Gu Weicheng had a gloomy face was because he thought the coffee was too unpalatable, and that he had no objection to her and would not hit anyone, but Lin Jinghe was still afraid of Gu Weicheng.
But think about it, I have been afraid for several years, and the impression of Gu Weicheng is deeply rooted in my heart. Even if I explain it, it won't be easy to stop being afraid.
But Lin Jinghe liked Li Xia very much. He changed his usual personality of not liking to talk to people in the art troupe and pulled Li Xia aside to talk endlessly.
After a while, I asked Li Xia how she educated her children. She said that An An was very well behaved, and I heard that his academic performance was also very good. He even skipped a grade and went straight to the second grade.
After a while, he asked Li Xia how she maintained her skin so tender and fair.
He also said, "Teacher Li, the last time my husband, Lao Yan, went to the city for a meeting, I asked him to bring me some coffee beans. I have already ground them. You can take them back and drink them later."
Li Xia did not reject Lin Jinghe's kindness. Sometimes when she got inspiration, she would stay up late at night to write, and drinking some coffee could effectively refresh her mind.
But she said, "Thank you. I'll send you some pork jerky that I made myself. It tastes good and Chenchen can eat it too."
"Okay, your cooking skills are good, and I am lucky enough to have you." Lin Jinghe smiled. After eating the braised pork made by Li Xiashao last time, she still had an endless aftertaste for it.
Deputy Captain Yan felt sad when he saw his wife being so intimate with Li Xia.
His wife has never treated him like this!
At the same time, he was glad that Li Xia was a lesbian. If she was a gay, he would just dig a hole and jump in to bury himself.
"Alas, Chief of Staff Gu, my wife likes your family too much. It makes me a little jealous. She has never smiled at me like this." Deputy Regimental Commander Yan said sourly.
Gu Weicheng turned his head and looked at him speechlessly. Are you jealous? I am jealous too!
As soon as Yan Ziming's wife arrived, she pulled his wife away, and Yan Ziming still had the nerve to be jealous.
When Deputy Captain Yan saw Gu Weicheng's eyes, he immediately understood what was going on. It seemed that Gu Weicheng was feeling the same way as he was.
Somehow, he felt balanced all of a sudden.
Hu Songlin and Zhou Yunxing toasted everyone. Those who had been forced to drink by Hu Songlin at previous weddings threatened to drink him back.
Fortunately, Gu Weicheng was there to stop Hu Songlin from getting drunk.
This guy has been looking forward to this day for so long, he can't get drunk on his wedding night.
Hu Songlin was very grateful to Gu Weicheng and said, "He is indeed a good brother!"
After the banquet, the bridal chamber pranks will begin.
Li Xia let An An and the three brothers Ma Aidang play in the yard and didn't let them go in to join in the fun.
She stood in the yard and looked inside through the window. She saw a man tied a piece of fruit candy with a rope and held it high up, letting Hu Songlin and Zhou Yunxing eat the candy together.
As a result, when they opened their mouths to eat, the man immediately pulled the rope, and the candy was taken away. Hu Songlin and Zhou Yunxing kissed each other mouth to mouth.
Everyone immediately burst into laughter.
Li Xia couldn't help but smile. Seeing others happy, her heart felt warm.
When she returned home in the evening, Li Xia opened the red envelope that Hu Songlin gave to An An and found that there was actually sixty-eight yuan inside!
Now that Hu Songlin has been promoted to the team leader, his monthly salary is only more than 130 yuan, not to mention that he has just been promoted to the team leader for less than a month, but he was unexpectedly paid 68 yuan, which is more than two months' salary for an ordinary person.
At this time, red envelopes given to children are usually a few cents, and more than one dollar is considered good. Li Xia really didn't expect Hu Songlin to give so much.
Li Xia showed the money to Gu Weicheng and asked him what he thought. Gu Weicheng smiled and said, "It's okay, wife, you helped him so much. Old Hu is a very honest man. He said he would give a big red envelope, so you don't have to feel embarrassed. When they have children in the future, we can give their children red envelopes as well."
"Okay then." Since Gu Weicheng said so, Li Xia naturally had no objection.
She saved the money for An An and told him that she would save all the red envelopes and New Year's money he received in the future.
Li Xia continued to write the next plot.
She first made herself a cup of coffee, which could refresh her. Gu Weicheng came over and asked, "Wife, what are you making?"
Li Xia remembered what Gu Weicheng had told her a few years ago, and couldn't help but teasing, "Do you want some coffee?"
Gu Weicheng looked at the black thing that looked like Chinese medicine, and the memories in his mind resurfaced. He took two steps back and said quickly: "No, I don't want to drink it."
Seeing that he was in a state of panic, Li Xia smiled until her eyes narrowed into crescents in the sky. She wanted to tease him: "Try a drink. It's mellow and refreshing. It's very good."
Seeing that Li Xia was enjoying the drink, Gu Weicheng still didn't understand what was so good about this bitter thing.
His evaluation is that it is not as good as traditional Chinese medicine!
As soon as Li Xia finished writing the rest of the manuscript, Gu Weicheng read it immediately.
After reading it, I sighed and said, "So that's what happened. I said Zhaodi's family wouldn't let her go to school, and her mother wouldn't support her going there either."
After reading the manuscript, he went to bed contentedly. The days of waiting for updates were really hard to bear. He couldn't wait to see the latest plot.
It’s a pity that his wife is so tight-lipped that she refuses to reveal anything.
The next day, Hu Songlin came to the regiment in a strange posture because his waist was sprained.
Seeing Hu Songlin like this, Gu Weicheng said jokingly, "Old Hu, are you really that serious? You don't even know how to take it easy on your first day of marriage. Is your bed okay?"
Hu Songlin had told Li Xia about the collapsed bed, and now he finally had the chance to take revenge.
Hu Songlin's face darkened, and he said in a speechless and upset voice: "Do you think I am you? You broke the bed, but I am still a virgin! My bed is very good, it can be used for at least another 20 years!"
