It is normal to spend money on makeup, so Tian Tian is not as shocked as Chen Guihua.
There were more and more people in the dressing room. The two of them could not help here, and they were also a nuisance. Moreover, it was too crowded. Tian Tian felt a little annoyed staying there, so she told Chen Guihua that she wanted to go out for a walk and get familiar with the surrounding areas.
Chen Guihua thought so too and went out with Tian Tian. This was Tian Tian's first time here, and it was quite far from where Tian worked and where she went to university.
Originally, she thought it should be similar to theirs. After all, they were all big factories in the city and couldn't be much different. But she didn't expect to find out that they were really different when she went out.
The snacks sold here are obviously much more numerous than those sold over there, and the clothes they wear are also more fashionable and beautiful than those over there.
"Oh my god, look at what they are wearing. Her cuffs are still the same style." Chen Guihua looked at the blouses with ruffled sleeves they were wearing and said to Tian Tian in surprise.
"And the patterns on their clothes are something we've never seen before, and the colors are pretty, too."
“It’s really pretty.”
They were wearing lavender clothes, which were rare here. They were either white, yellow, dark blue, or light blue or lavender. Tian Tian had never seen these before. Especially at this time, the fabrics were still thin and transparent, so this color was even rarer.
"This is the territory of the textile factory. The clothes they wear are different from ours, which is normal."
After all, the clothing industry has developed very rapidly in recent years, and most people prefer clothes from the south that are good-looking and cheap.
The fact that the clothes and fabrics in the supply and marketing cooperatives could not be sold was a big blow to the textile factories, so in recent years the textile factories have been desperately researching fabrics of various colors and then sewing clothes of various styles.
However, perhaps because we have just started the research, the color stability is a bit poor. Except for a few new colors, most of the remaining colors are not for sale and are regarded as defective products.
Only the staff inside the garment factory can get these defective products, so it is not surprising that they are made into clothes.
Tian Tian took Chen Guihua for a walk around and bought a lot of snacks. While eating, they smelled the sweet aroma of biscuits and bread in the air and felt very envious.
"The people here are so nice. Even if I don't buy anything, I can smell such sweet smells every day."
The address of Zhu Xiumei's studio is right at the junction of a textile factory and a food factory. The smell of biscuits and bread being made in the food factory is so strong that they can smell it clearly even if they are outside.
"It's okay to smell it once or twice occasionally, but if you smell it too often, you can't stand it," said Tian Tian.
No matter how delicious something is, you can't eat it too much. There will definitely be a day when you get tired of it. The same goes for smelling something.
"How could that be? It smells so sweet, I would be happy to smell it all my life." Chen Guihua took a deep breath and said longingly.
They ate various snacks outside and after filling their stomachs, they saw that it was almost time. Chen Guihua was familiar with the surroundings and thought Zhu Xiumei should have returned by now, so she turned and walked towards Zhu Xiumei's studio.
Zhu Xiumei had indeed returned, but she had not yet relaxed because there were still many people who needed her to do their makeup, and it was already afternoon when they all finished their makeup.
When the last girl who came to put on makeup walked out, Zhu Xiumei quickly hung up the sign saying "Closed", went into the house and stretched, "It's finally over. I've been putting on makeup all day, and my body is almost stiff."
"Sister Zhu, you guys take a break first. I'll go out and buy some food." One of the apprentices took off his apron and said to Zhu Xiumei, then turned to look at Tian Tian and the others, "Do you two want to eat?"
Tian Tian shook her head. "No, we two have just eaten. You can eat by yourselves."
The apprentice put on his coat and went out to buy food.
"As you can see, we are really busy here. It's not too bad on weekdays, but when the surrounding factories have holidays, there are a lot of people coming, especially the textile factories and food factories. Most of the workers are women, so we are even busier." Zhu Xiumei shook her hands, her face looking a little tired.
She was indeed very tired today. She got up very early in the morning and went to the wedding to do makeup. After the wedding was over and the bride went home, she rushed back without stopping. It was already now that she had finished doing makeup for everyone in the store. She hasn't eaten a proper meal yet. She just ate a few buns with the bride. She didn't feel full yet and her stomach still aches a little.
"It's quite busy, but what kind of work is not tiring? Isn't it the same in our rural areas during the autumn harvest and spring planting? We can't be idle every day and we work from morning to night." Chen Guihua said.
Maybe it’s because she has suffered hardships since she was a child, so she now feels that most of the hardships are not hardships.
Zhu Xiumei shook her head helplessly after hearing this. Her original intention was to make it clear to Chen Guihua how busy her work was. As for whether Chen Guihua wanted to come over, she would have to wait until she saw how busy the work was before making a decision.
However, Chen Guihua didn't say much and agreed immediately.
Zhu Xiumei felt relieved when she saw that Chen Guihua did not back down because of the busy schedule.
She stood up and took the initiative to lead Chen Guihua out of the store, turned into an alley, and came to a yard.
This was a large courtyard with several families living in it. Zhu Xiumei greeted them one by one, then took Chen Guihua to the house facing the main gate and opened the door and went in.
There is a big kang inside, and besides the kang, there are several small beds.
Zhu Xiumei pointed at the kang and the bed and said, "This is where we live now. It's not far from there, and it only takes two or three minutes to walk there. These two beds are where they sleep. You can choose one, sleep on the kang or get a small bed."
The two girls were not used to sleeping on the same kang with strangers, so they partitioned off the room to create two small rooms with greater privacy, but they only slept here in the summer, and they would still sleep on the kang in the winter.
Chen Guihua looked around the room. The room was tidy. Facing the window, there were two tables, which should be similar to dressing tables. There were cosmetics, notebooks and pens on them.
