So Tian Tian felt relieved and let him go home alone, but she was worried that he didn't have any money, so she stuffed some money into his pocket.
Tian Zhuo himself has money. In the past few years when he was in high school, his family gave him pocket money. He didn't spend a penny of it except for buying necessary things. In addition, his family conditions have improved recently during the Chinese New Year, so they will give him more New Year's money. Tian Yuan and Tian Tian also support him when they go home. Now, he doesn't have a lot of money, but he is not short of money. It is enough for his daily expenses.
However, Tian Tian was so determined when she stuffed money and tickets into his pocket that she pressed his hand to prevent him from taking the money out. In the end, Tian Zhuo had no choice but to accept the money.
It would be okay for him not to ask for money, but he couldn't ask for the tickets. He didn't have a household registration in the provincial capital, so he needed food coupons and had to rely on Tian Tian.
It is not impossible to eat at a roadside snack stand, but the prices at roadside snack stands are a little bit more expensive than those in restaurants because they do not require food coupons. Of course, some people would rather spend money on meals in order to save those food coupons, but Tian Zhuo cannot do that. If he really goes to a snack stand to eat, he may not even get to eat, and all the money he has saved for the start of the school year will be spent.
"Go and live over there. Your brother-in-law is not at home during the day, so you can come and keep your sister company!" Tian Tian said.
She tidied up Tian Zhuo's clothes. The clothes Tian Zhuo was wearing were still Gu Zhao's old clothes. The clothes Tian Zhuo wore to the provincial capital before were too small, and his wrists and ankles were exposed. Although it was summer now and it was not very abrupt to wear such clothes, the clothes were still very old.
Lin Meiyu made a new set of clothes for Tian Zhuo, but thinking that he would wear the clothes to college, she did not finish it and did not take it to the provincial capital.
Tian Tian thought that the clothes Tian Zhuo wore were too shabby, so she took out some clothes that Gu Zhao had made for Tian Zhuo. Gu Zhao had a lot of old clothes, and because Gu Zhao was quite tall, almost a head taller than Tian Zhuo, Tian Zhuo could only wear the clothes that Gu Zhao wore when he was a teenager.
Tian Tian felt quite guilty towards Tian Zhuo, because the eldest child in the family was Tian Yuan, so the clothes that Tian Mu and Tian Zhuo wore were picked up from Tian Yuan's. And Tian Zhuo was the youngest, so when it was his turn, many of his clothes were already in tatters.
Because Tian Tian was the only daughter in the family, Grandma Tian felt that Tian Tian should not be allowed to wear her brother's leftover clothes. So from childhood to adulthood, only Tiantian and Tian Yuan were allowed to wear new clothes. Tian Yuan had to do it because he was the oldest in the family and he would have nothing to wear if he didn't.
Tian Tian is a girl, and the fabrics she wears are all soft and comfortable cotton. Damn, no matter how new clothes are made, in the end, Tian Zhuo is the one who wears the least in the family.
"I'll take you to make a set of clothes in a few days!" Tian Tian said.
"No need, sister. I can just wear my brother-in-law's clothes. They fit me perfectly and the styles are nice. Our mother has made new clothes for me and they will be sent with the package. You don't have to make new clothes for me. I'm alone and I can't wear so many clothes." Tian Zhuo said.
"You are going to a new school to attend college, so you should wear two new sets of clothes. You can't still wear those old clothes!" Tian Tian said.
When Tian Tian went to college, Old Mrs. Tian made her two new sets of clothes, using up all the cloth coupons she had saved for several years.
These days, she heard Lin Meiyu say that Tian Zhuo seemed to have only one new set of clothes. She felt quite guilty and subconsciously wanted to be nicer to Tian Zhuo. Tian Zhuo was ten years younger than her. In Tian Tian's eyes, Tian Zhuo was someone she had watched grow up.
When she first came here, Tian Zhuo was only five years old, still a little kid.
Now Tian Zhuo is seventeen years old and she is twenty-seven years old. Such a long time has passed in the blink of an eye.
"Sister, I really don't need that. I can just wear my brother-in-law's clothes. I go to school to study, not to see new clothes. It doesn't matter what clothes I wear. The most important thing is to study well." Tian Zhuo said.
After hearing what Tian Zhuo said, and looking at the determined light in Tian Zhuo's eyes, Tian Tian couldn't help but laugh, "Yes, going to school is the most important thing."
She thought so when she first entered college, but now that she has graduated, she has forgotten her wish when she was in school.
Tian Tian felt a little complicated, but was proud of her brother. "Okay, then I won't mention it. If you have no clothes to wear, or your clothes are too short, just tell me. Your brother doesn't have much else but clothes. Many of his clothes are too short to wear, so they are just lying there. It would be a waste if you don't wear them. It's just right for you to wear them."
Gu Zhao's clothes used to be given to other relatives in the family. But ten years later, Ge Huiyun had a lot of falling out with those relatives, and only a few were still in contact with her. Unfortunately, none of these relatives had any boys, and all of them were girls. So Gu Zhao's clothes could no longer be given away and were kept at home.
Now it’s just right for Tian Zhuo to wear it.
"Okay, if I have no clothes left, I will definitely not be polite to you, sister!" Tian Zhuo promised Tian Tian, and then he and Tian Tian and Gu Zhao went to live in the small house separately.
Tian Tian was extremely tired these two days. Gu Zhao also took a leave to send Lin Meiyu and the others home. Now Gu Zhao had to go back to work. After sending Tian Tian home, he didn't even go upstairs and went straight back to the office.
In the next few days, Tian Tian basically stayed at home all day. She only cooked lunch, and Gu Zhao cooked the morning meal. For dinner, he would directly bring back the meal from the company canteen, so Tian Tian didn't have to cook.
After two or three days of rest, Tian Tian finally felt that she was not as tired as before, so she called Zhu Xiumei to go out together.
The two people made an appointment to meet in a square and sat in a small pavilion to talk about the wedding and makeup.
In the past two days, two of Tian Tian’s classmates called her and said that someone in their family was getting married, and asked if the person who did Tian Tian’s makeup could let the person do their makeup instead?
Tian Tian didn't dare to agree at that time, so she just told them to ask the makeup artist himself. They also asked Tian Tian to ask as soon as possible, so Tian Tian made an appointment with Zhu Xiumei today.
Zhu Xiumei didn't have any objection. On the contrary, she was very happy. "Of course I am willing to do it, but there is one thing. I only have time on Saturdays and Sundays. I have to work the rest of the time!"
"That's okay. They should both get married on Saturday or Sunday. After all, so many people have to go to work or school from Monday to Friday. I guess not many people have time to attend their wedding." Tian Tian said that this is not a problem.
"But I still have to ask them, and by the way, how much do you plan to charge for doing someone's makeup for a wedding?"
The last time Zhu Xiumei did makeup for Tian Tian, she didn't charge her for it. But that day Zhu Xiumei also helped Tian Tian a lot. She was busy running around, getting various things, and helping Tian Tian with her makeup and combing her hair.
Basically, when Tian Tian got married, Zhu Xiumei was not idle that day. Tian Tian didn't want her to work in vain, so she gave her a red envelope of ten yuan.
If it was said that it was a salary paid to her, she definitely could not accept it, but if it was said that it was a red envelope for her, Zhu Xiumei accepted it very calmly. This was not an ordinary red envelope, it was full of joy.
After hearing this, Zhu Xiumei didn't know what to do. She just wanted to put on makeup, but she had never thought of using it as a means to make money in the future.
"I think you still have to charge. If you don't, people might think there's something wrong with your cosmetics. Are they bad for their faces? They won't feel at ease then. And your cosmetics do cost a lot of money, right? I can't let you lose money on them. Even if you like makeup, this is not the way to do it."
"It's their wedding day, and they only get married once in their lifetime, so they definitely want their makeup to be beautiful. They will feel at ease no matter how much money they spend!" said Tian Tian.
Anyway, according to her idea, that's it. She will definitely charge a little more money, and wedding makeup is more delicate than ordinary makeup, and it takes more energy. You can't spend time, energy, and cost and just get an emotional value. It's stupid to think about it.
Zhu Xiumei felt that what Tian Tian said made sense. "Then how much do you think I should charge?"
"It has to be graded. If you only do the makeup, it's only two dollars a day. But if you do the makeup like I did last time, which means you do the makeup from the morning until the end of the wedding, and you are responsible for both the makeup and the hair, the price will be a little higher. You can choose for yourself!"
"I don't want to follow the makeup. It's too tiring. I just focus on putting on makeup." Zhu Xiumei said immediately.
Tian Tian nodded after listening to this and said nothing. People's skin nowadays is really good, white and tender. Except for some differences in skin color, few people have acne and few people have oily faces, so the durability of makeup will be longer.
For example, if Tian Tian puts on her own makeup, basically the makeup she puts on in the morning can last until the evening, with the exception of some makeup coming off on the sides of her nose, which is not noticeable unless you look closely.
