Chapter 72: Fellowship (Part 1)
Su Su nodded.
Seeing that Su Su's mood had improved, Sister Fang smiled and said, "Okay, big sister, I have something else to ask you."
"The social gathering is coming up soon. How are your dance preparations going?"
Su Su nodded and said, "I've already skipped it."
Sister Fang's face immediately lit up with smiles. "That's great, big sister! With you here, our Military Family Home will definitely surpass the Health Center this year, and even beat the Art Troupe! By then, our Military Family Home will be in the spotlight, and we might even receive awards from the commander himself!"
Seeing that Sister Fang was becoming more and more exaggerated, Su Su quickly changed the subject.
"By the way, Sister Fang, I heard that the fraternity is always organized by the Military Family Courtyard and the Logistics Department. Do you need my help with anything?"
As expected, Sister Fang's attention was drawn to her. She looked worried, sighed, and said, "Big sister, it would be fine if you didn't mention this. The moment you did, I was so worried that all my hair would fall out!"
Su Su looked puzzled and asked, "What's wrong? Did you encounter any difficulties?"
Sister Fang suddenly started talking.
"Big sister, you guessed it right!"
"The Logistics Department has always been very careful with their budgets, and this time was no exception. Originally, all the performers were supposed to have hired specialized makeup artists, but the Logistics Department handed the job directly to our military dependents' home."
"Don't you think this is embarrassing? We military wives don't wear makeup on a regular basis, so how can we do it well? It's too late to learn now. If we mess up, we'll be embarrassed in front of the leaders."
Su Su pondered for a moment and said, "Sister Fang, I can do it."
Sister Fang's eyes widened in surprise.
She circled around Su Su twice, slapped her thigh, and said:
"Look at my brain! I have a ready-made solution right in front of me, why didn't I think of you? Big sister, you really helped me solve a big problem!"
After discussing with Sister Fang, Su Su arrived backstage at the military district auditorium early the next day before the performance.
Because there were many people performing, she took some quick makeup items from the space, including air cushions, bare face cream, blush, eyebrow pencil and lipstick.
With these few things, you can quickly put on your makeup.
Walking into the backstage of the military district auditorium, some of the performers had already arrived in advance. When they saw Su Su come in, all their eyes fell on her and they whispered:
"Who is this? She's so beautiful!"
"You don't know yet, she is Captain Qin's wife!"
"What? Captain Qin got married? What on earth happened while I was away for training?"
"I'll explain it to you in detail later. This Su Su is no ordinary person!"
“…”
Sister Fang came up to me with a smile on her face and said, "Big sister, you've worked so hard. Let's put on makeup according to the order of the performance!"
Su Su nodded, spread out the tools, and started to work.
She is very fast at putting on makeup, basically, she can finish one person in three minutes.
One girl, with darker skin, was surprised when she finished putting on makeup: "Oh my god, is this still me? I've become so beautiful! It's nothing like the red monkey-butt makeup I used to put on my cheeks!"
Seeing this, the others lined up consciously without any urging, and everyone's face was filled with anticipation.
At this moment, a familiar and disgusting voice sounded.
"This makeup is so ugly!"
It’s Shen Jinzhu.
She walked in from the door like the moon surrounded by stars, looking down at Su Su with some disdain in her eyes.
But Su Su ignored him and focused on completing her task.
A hint of anger appeared on Shen Jinzhu's face.
"If anyone wants to get makeup done, just come to me. My makeup is top-notch!"
The girl following behind her immediately said excitedly: "I'll do it! I'll do it!"
Sister Fang said with a sullen face, "Su Su's makeup is done well, what are you trying to steal?"
Shen Jinzhu curled her lips, rolled her eyes, and said, "I just want to help her. So many people need to put on makeup, she definitely can't handle it all by herself."
Sister Fang looked hesitant, and it seemed that what Shen Jinzhu said was correct.
Shen Jinzhu started to put on makeup as she wished.
She took out the cosmetics one by one, and it took her half a day to draw a person.
The people behind him were getting impatient and shouted, "Hurry up! Our rehearsal will start soon!"
Shen Jinzhu said impatiently, "Why are you in such a hurry? Haven't you heard that slow work makes fine work?"
"Okay, everyone, take a look."
The girl stood up with joy on her face and turned around.
puff--
I don't know who couldn't hold it in anymore first, but then everyone around burst into laughter.
"Xiao Cai, your face looks like that monkey's butt!"
What! ?
The girl panicked. She looked in the mirror and suddenly everything went dark.
She cried and shouted, "Shen Jinzhu, look at what you've done to me! How am I supposed to perform on stage? This is so embarrassing!"
Shen Jinzhu rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction and said, "Who can you blame for your own ugliness? You even question my makeup skills."
"you…!"
The girl cried so sadly that she wanted to rush up and pull Shen Jinzhu's hair.
But when I thought of her background, I could only grit my teeth and bear it.
Su Su handed over a bottle of makeup remover oil and said.
"Use this to remove makeup."
Shen Jinzhu's face was filled with suspicion, and she scoffed, "Oil can remove makeup? I've never heard of that! Only a fool would believe that!"
The girl tried all kinds of medical treatments in desperation.
She simply poured some oil onto her hands and began applying it to her face before washing it off with water.
Something magical happened.
All the makeup on the girl's face was gone.
She looked at Su Su gratefully and said, "Thank you so much!"
Su Su nodded, her hands still putting on makeup, and said:
"Who's next?"
Everyone immediately lined up in front of Su Su, vying to speak:
“I’ll go first!
"Then I'm next!"
“…”
All the people in front of Shen Jinzhu left in an instant. She was so angry that her chest heaved up and down, and she stared at Su Su hatefully.
She really is in conflict with me!
Now even these people are on her side!
Su Su was very quick and had finished putting on everyone's makeup before the performance officially started.
Fang Jie came over from the front stage and said with a smile, "Big sister, come and have a drink of water. You've worked so hard! When the boss found out, he specially scheduled your performance for the last one, so that you can perform last!"
"Rehearsal is about to begin, so do some warm-up exercises first! Let's strive for first place!"
Su Su nodded.
At this moment, Shen Jinzhu came over and said in a sarcastic tone, "You want to perform a show too?"
