When Mrs. Tian heard that she had to spend money, she felt reluctant. "Why are you spending that money? Isn't that a waste of money? Why don't you do something else with that money?"
"Since the money has been spent, let's go to the county town together!" Han Luying said.
Old Mrs. Tian sighed, "Can't you get your money back?"
She was still a little reluctant to spend money. Not to mention the money for taking photos, she was a little reluctant to spend the round-trip fare.
"No, grandma. What about the money you paid in advance? If you go, it will not be wasted. If you don't go, you can't use the money." Han Luying said.
"It costs 40 cents to take a photo of this person!" She didn't want to tell Mrs. Tian the price, for she was worried that she would feel pressured. But now she realized that if she didn't tell Mrs. Tian, she would never agree to take photos with her.
After hearing this, Old Mrs. Tian became even more reluctant to spend the money. She was also reluctant to spend the bus fare, but when she knew that it cost 40 cents per person, Old Mrs. Tian immediately made the decision not to let the money go to waste.
After making the decision, Old Mrs. Tian immediately told everyone else about it. She didn’t say what they were going to do in the county town. She just said that the whole family would go out together, but she didn’t tell them what they were going to do.
Although everyone was confused, they nodded and agreed.
In the end, it was Han Luying who reluctantly told everyone again that they would go out to take photos tomorrow.
Taking photos is a serious matter nowadays. If you don’t know anything and take photos in the clothes you usually wear to work, the photos will turn out to be disappointing.
As expected, everyone was very excited after hearing that they were going to take photos, and they took out all the clothes they were going to wear the next day one day in advance.
It wasn't any particularly precious clothing, it was just clean and tidy.
Chen Guihua and Lin Meiyu were even more excited. They gathered together to see if their clothes looked good on them, and there was nothing wrong with them.
She even used the red paper of the New Year's couplets as lipstick and outlined her eyebrows with charcoal pencil.
When Tian Tian returned home and saw their two red faces, she couldn't help laughing out loud.
They both originally just wanted to make their faces look more healthy, but because they had never put on makeup before, their hands were a little heavy-handed and they ended up drawing two big red cheeks. When Tian Tian went back, the two of them were busy wiping the makeup off.
Seeing Tian Tian's expression, Lin Meiyu felt a little embarrassed. "Isn't it too thick? It looks like an old witch. No, no, I won't paint it anymore. It doesn't look good at all!"
"Why not paint? We're so tired all year round, and finally we get to take a photo. What's wrong with painting it brightly? Are you afraid of what people will say? Anyway, I must paint beautifully to take the photo. You just took the photo wearing all black as if you were working, and your face must be tanned, right?" Chen Guihua said on the side.
"Don't!" Tian Tian regretted laughing out loud and tried to make amends, "You two look so good in makeup. I laughed because I saw your red cheeks. The makeup on your faces is a little too red. It would look better if it was a little lighter. And you should wear light makeup when taking photos. It will look good on camera."
"Really?" Lin Meiyu was a little unconfident. She wanted to put on makeup and thought she looked good after putting on makeup. But she also felt that she was too old to put on makeup and go out to meet people. Others might say this and that, so she felt a little embarrassed.
"Really!" Chen Guihua and Tian Tian nodded, and gave Lin Meiyu courage again, "We are not so strict when we are working. Aren't we taking pictures? Listen to the gossips of those old women in the village. If they take pictures, they might search the whole family. Don't even think about drawing eyebrows and eyes like us. They will definitely wear a big red flower on their heads and pretend to be eighteen!"
Everyone was amused by Chen Guihua's words.
Lin Meiyu no longer worries about whether to wear makeup or not.
"Let me help you put on makeup!" Tian Tian enthusiastically recommended herself. She had never put on makeup since she came here. She didn't have any cosmetics and didn't need to use makeup in her daily life. It would be a bit strange to see her putting on makeup now.
What is particularly strange is that nowadays people’s eyebrows are eyebrows and eyes are eyes. Even if the eyebrows are not trimmed, their shape is still very neat and thick.
Her lips are very healthy and full of vitality, her eyes are bright, and she looks beautiful even without makeup.
Although Tian Tian hasn't put on makeup for many years and her movements are a little unfamiliar, the foundation from her previous life is still there.
Nowadays, makeup tools are very simple. A piece of red paper and a piece of charcoal used as an eyebrow pencil are the tools for makeup.
Tian Tian helped them lightly draw their eyebrows, then used red paper to apply some color, painted on their lips, and lightly swept it on both sides of their cheeks, so that they looked more lively.
There was no foundation at that time. The two of them worked all year round, so their skin was a little rough, with sun spots on their faces and uneven skin tone. Fortunately, they both live a good life now and have no worries. They are both people who love to laugh. Only the laugh lines at the corners of their eyes are obvious, but the rest of their skin is quite smooth.
But there is nothing we can do about it. The clarity of today’s cameras isn’t that high anyway, so you can’t see it in photos.
Tian Tian still has requirements for makeup, but Lin Meiyu and the others don’t know that there are so many steps in makeup. They think that just applying lipstick and drawing eyebrows will be enough. As for the bride’s makeup being so white, they are not brides and don’t need those.
After finishing their makeup, they both looked left and right in the mirror and were very satisfied.
"Oh! Look at my face. I wish I had learned how to put on makeup earlier. I am really naturally beautiful!" Chen Guihua said boastfully in front of the mirror.
In recent years, Tian Mu went to school and did homework at night. Although Chen Guihua did not study with Tian Mu specifically, she was able to learn one or two idioms, and now she was using them.
Lin Meiyu was very satisfied with herself because she looked good but not too glamorous.
"Let's go out and show it to my dad and my second uncle?" Tian Tian said expectantly.
"What are you looking at? This is so embarrassing!" Lin Meiyu said shyly.
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. We should go out and let them see how beautiful their wives are and how lucky they are to have us. We should ask them to be nicer to us in the future." After saying that, Chen Guihua took Lin Meiyu out.
