This time when she went shopping in the department store, Chen Guihua also spent money to buy a lot of cosmetics, including a whole set of lipsticks of various colors and different foundations, which cost her a lot of money.
Before, Tian Tian thought that Chen Guihua had never worn makeup before, so she thought makeup was interesting, but now she finds that Chen Guihua really loves makeup.
Tian Tian didn't think it was a big deal. After all, Chen Guihua had worked hard for most of her life. It was good for her to find a hobby at this time. Also, putting on makeup was not a bad thing. If she was good at it, she could use it to make money to support her family. However, many people in the village didn't think so. They found it novel when they saw Chen Guihua putting on makeup once or twice.
But after seeing Chen Guihua often wearing makeup, this mood turned into blame and ridicule. He often pointed fingers at Chen Guihua, thinking that Chen Guihua was not doing her job properly and was not serious. He also began to tell Tian Lilin that Chen Guihua should not be like this and should be a down-to-earth woman.
Fortunately, Tian Lilin was not in the first team, and no one else looked down on him. Therefore, he felt that Chen Guihua had embarrassed him, and he never said anything to Chen Guihua, forbidding her to wear makeup.
Chen Guihua was a person who was not easy to deal with. Every time she went out, she would hear the aunts gossiping about her behind her back. Without thinking, she would rush up to them and confront them. After doing this a few times, the aunts no longer dared to provoke her.
As time went by, Chen Guihua's makeup became better and better. She no longer went out with thick eyebrows and bright red lips like she did at the beginning. Her makeup now became more and more natural, and she looked better and better after applying it. There were fewer such voices in the village, and even a few young wives went to Chen Guihua's house to ask her for advice on makeup.
"I heard from my mother that my aunt is still in the team, doing makeup for other people. I think you two can work together!" Tian Tian joked.
Zhu Xiumei couldn't help laughing, "How can there be so many people to do our makeup? It's just a hobby. If you really treat it as a job, you will starve to death! But if there is such a day in the future, I will definitely ask your aunt to come and help me."
Chen Guihua did tell her that once her makeup skills improved, she would come and work with her.
It's just that both of them said this as a joke at the time, and no one thought that such a day would really come.
Tian Tian grinned and said, "Then I've been waiting for this day!"
She found what Zhu Xiumei said quite interesting. She wondered what they would think when they really waited for that day and thought about what they said today. Tian Tian found it funny when she heard this.
"Then I have to call my aunt and urge her to practice her makeup skills!"
Tian Tian thinks it’s a good thing for Chen Guihua to practice makeup. She worked so hard when she was young, but it’s actually very happy that she can find something she likes when she is old.
Before her mother passed away, she had advised Lin Meiyu to find something she liked and not to focus all her attention on things at home.
Lin Meiyu didn't take it seriously at the time, and even told Tian Tian that she was living a good life now, and that everyone was living this way, so what was the chance to find something she liked? There was so much work to do in the fields that she couldn't even finish it.
After hearing this, Tian Tian didn't say anything. Lin Meiyu should figure out this kind of thing herself. If Tian Tian forced her to find something she liked, or find various things to help Lin Meiyu with her career, it would be forcing Lin Meiyu to do things, which was not good. So Tian Tian finally decided to let nature take its course.
To put it bluntly, Lin Meiyu is not young anymore. She can do whatever she wants. She is willing to find something she likes like Chen Guihua, and Tian Tian also supports her.
She didn't want to find something she liked, so she just wanted to farm at home, raise chickens, ducks and geese, and take care of the vegetable garden. Tian Tian wouldn't say anything, and after all, although this kind of life was a little tiring, it was also quite leisurely.
Anyway, life will only get better and better in the future. Lin Meiyu and the others grow vegetables and crops, and they don't have any pressure to survive. It's good to let them farm and exercise at the same time.
Tian Tian thought that the household contract responsibility system had been implemented in their brigade, but her family did not have much land because Tian Tian and Tian Yuan's household registration was in other places at that time, so they did not get any land. The family had less land, and the work they did was much less than before the public land system.
When Tian Tian knew that her household registration was not at home and she had no land, she actually felt a little regretful. She had been in the countryside for so many years that she actually had a deep affection for the land. Her favorite thing every year was to go to the fields and help everyone dig potatoes, plant vegetables and turn the soil. Walking barefoot on the moist and soft soil gave her a sense of security and satisfaction that nothing else could give her.
But then she thought again, she will definitely live in the city in the future, and one cannot have it all. If that happens, she will not be able to help her parents at home, and instead will ask her parents to work hard for her land. Now that she has a city hukou, she should stop thinking about the land in the village.
After thinking about this, Tian Tian no longer worried about Lin Meiyu's affairs.
After talking about makeup, Tian Tian and Zhu Xiumei chatted about some other things, including the books they like to read and some other things. Before, the two of them usually talked about makeup and business, and never talked about other things. Now they found that their preferences are quite similar, including their views on things and their approaches to certain things.
The two quickly became good friends. After hanging out outside for a day, Tian Tian returned to her home. When she entered the building, the lady who was checking the phone on the first floor looked at Tian Tian and suddenly asked, "Is Tian Tian the new resident who moved in on the third floor?"
Tian Tian stopped and nodded in confusion. In the first few days after they moved in, they had distributed wedding candies to other people in the building because they were getting married. They also wanted to take this opportunity to get to know them. There were many people living in the building, and the old lady obviously didn't remember Tian Tian, which was normal.
"Someone called you just now. I shouted twice on the loudspeaker and waited for a while but no one came down, so I hung up the phone and told the person on the other end to call her again when you came back!" said the old lady.
Tian Tian nodded, leaned over and asked, "Who called me just now?"
The old lady handed Tian Tian a piece of paper with a phone number written on it. Tian Tian looked down and saw that it was a call from home, so she called Lin Meiyu back. The person who answered the phone was the telephone administrator of their brigade. After Tian Tian waited for a while, she heard someone running over hurriedly, panting slightly, "Hello? Tiantian?"
"Mom, it's me. Is there anything you want to talk to me about?" Tian Tian asked.
"These few days I packed up all the things I prepared for Tian Zhao and sent them back to you. I also wrapped the notice inside your clothes. When you receive the clothes, take a good look at it and don't forget anything." Lin Meiyu said on the other end.
After returning, there was a lot of work to do at home. The chickens and ducks had been raised for several days and they had pooped all over the floor, so they had to be cleaned up. The vegetables in the vegetable garden had grown too big, the cucumbers had become old, and even the cowpeas and kidney beans had swelled up and were inedible. It would be even worse if they continued to grow, so Lin Meiyu picked all the old and inedible vegetables, prepared to save them for seeds, and waited for new vegetables to grow.
Before she finished her work, other people in the village came to ask Lin Meiyu how the provincial capital was. Where did they go? Did they buy anything? Was it particularly luxurious? The roads were full of cars.
Lin Meiyu was very annoyed, but the aunts who came to their house had a good relationship with them. It was not good to just drive these aunts away. Lin Meiyu had to suppress her annoyance and chat with these aunts for several days. After their curiosity was completely dispelled, Lin Meiyu began to sort out the things she bought from the provincial capital after returning home. Although most of the things in the provincial capital were very expensive, Lin Meiyu also bought some things and distributed them to the people in the family who were closer to her, such as Tian Lijuan's family. Because Tian Lijuan had to take care of her father-in-law and mother-in-law, and also take care of her daughter's children, she did not go to the provincial capital with Tian Lisong and others.
In addition to Tian Lijuan, there are Fang Zhizhi and Fang Zhenzhen. These two cousins have actually had less contact with Tiantian since they got married, and they haven't been in touch for a long time after they had their babies. But after all, their relationship was pretty good before. This time when Tian Tian is getting married, their pears must be indispensable.
It was nearly a week after all these things were done. Lin Meiyu was worried that Tian Tian was waiting anxiously here, so she hurriedly packed all the things that Tian Zhuo was going to take with him, and wrote them down on a piece of paper in advance.
Lin Meiyu prepared things according to the paper without any rush. She finished preparing everything quickly and then hurriedly sent the things to the post office to send them to Tian Tian. After sending them, she called Tian Tian and asked her to pay attention.
Tian Tian asked clearly what was inside the luggage, and then wrote down all the items so that she wouldn't have to open the luggage and check them later.
After the two of them finished talking about this matter, Lin Meiyu suddenly said to Tian Tian: "Shen Lingling, she's back!"
