Each stall cart can only seat one person.
Just as Jiang Xuan was planning to find a car for her mother to go to Ningzhou University, Lu Shengye's military vehicle appeared.
Jiang Xuan pointed to the opposite side, "Mom, Sheng Ye is here, let him take you there, I'll come find you later."
"No need." He Yinhua was still angry. "Isn't there a bus up ahead? I'll take the bus."
"Mom, don't be like this. You're showing all your emotions on your face. Shengye can tell right away. Shengye has two children, but he treats me very well. And don't you think about it? With such a good family background, what kind of girl can't he find? We should know how to be grateful."
That seems to make sense.
He Yinhua realized that they couldn't even prepare a decent dowry for Xuanxuan, so the other party was probably only willing to marry Xuanxuan because of the elders.
However, this young man looks quite young, yet he got married so early.
Lu Shengye turned around and stopped beside him.
"Auntie, are you alright? I just went to the clinic, and the medicine has been prepared and is in the car."
He Yinhua nodded, "It's alright, thank you for your trouble, Xiao Ye."
"I've made a reservation at a Sichuan restaurant, let's go there later."
Jiang Xuan said in a low voice, "My mom doesn't want to go."
Lu Shengye walked over and said, "Auntie, let's go together. We don't have to walk, and it won't be tiring. It's just a meal. We're worried about you being alone here since you don't know anyone here."
Jiang Xuan glanced at the barbershop next door and had an idea.
Her mother didn't want to see the Lu family simply because she felt she was sick and looked unwell, and she was afraid they would look down on her because of it.
Just dress up a bit and you'll be fine.
"Mom, let's go, I'll take you to get a haircut."
What kind of haircut?
"Your hair is too long, it's inconvenient to wash, let's go get it cut shorter."
Lu Shengye agreed, "Yes, Auntie, it will be easier for you if you cut it shorter."
Jiang Xuan went to the same hair salon where she had taken Ma Xiaolan to get a perm before.
Just like last time, there were no customers in the store yet because it was too early.
The shop owner, dressed in tight jeans, sat listlessly on the table flipping through a magazine, picking at a pimple on his chin with one hand.
Seeing an acquaintance arrive, his face lit up. He tossed aside the magazine and jumped off the table. "How was it? The hair I did for your friend last time turned out pretty well, didn't it?"
"Yes, it's great. Several neighbors in our courtyard have asked if they've come looking for you."
"A tenement courtyard, right? I've been here several times."
The shop owner was very happy.
"So what kind of perm are you planning to get today? I must say, this lady looks quite a bit like you."
Jiang Xuan smiled and said, "You have good taste. This is my mom. But she's not getting a perm today. I brought her here to get her hair cut. The length should be about shoulder length, but not too neat, more natural. I'll also cut some bangs."
Listening to Jiang Xuan's gestures, the shop owner was already confident. Upon learning that this was Jiang Xuan's mother, he immediately changed his form of address, "No problem, let's wash Auntie's hair first. Would you like to get it permed? With your face shape, I can design a hairstyle for you, I guarantee it will make you even more beautiful."
"I'm busy lately, so I won't get a perm for now. I'll definitely come to you as soon as I need one."
My hair was washed quickly.
After putting on the apron, the shop owner picked up a comb and scissors.
Haircuts are indeed quick.
The shop owner's cooking skills are truly excellent.
About twenty minutes later, He Yinhua was completely transformed.
"Auntie doesn't look well, could she have caught a cold?"
Jiang Xuan nodded.
"Then I'll do a light makeup look for you, Auntie, for free."
Jiang Xuan hadn't expected her master to have such skills.
She had originally planned to go to the store and buy some makeup tools herself.
"Okay, thank you, Master."
He Yinhua quickly said, "No need, no need. I'm already so old, why would I need to wear makeup?"
"Auntie, you're still young. Don't say you're old. In Ningzhou City, there are eighty-year-old ladies who not only wear makeup but also dresses."
"That's right, Mom. You've never drawn before, so you can always give it a try."
The shop owner opened the drawer containing the makeup tools and began to work on them.
“It’s very windy and dusty here, and Auntie’s skin is severely dehydrated. She needs to moisturize it properly.”
"And these lips, they're so dry, you need to buy some lip balm regularly."
"I have some lip balm here, how about I give you one at cost price?"
Jiang Xuan nodded, "Okay."
The shop owner not only cuts hair but also does bridal hairstyling and makeup, so he is very skilled at makeup.
He took out an eyebrow razor and shaped He Yinhua's eyebrows, then began applying her base makeup.
The base makeup was done very quickly.
Because it was light makeup, he didn't apply it exaggeratedly.
He Yinhua's sallow skin was due to illness; her natural skin was quite fair.
The shop owner essentially just restored her original skin tone, so it looks very natural and fits perfectly.
After applying a light blush, He Yinhua's complexion improved considerably.
Jiang Xuan looked at He Yinhua with deep emotion.
She is so beautiful.
It's not just about being pretty; it's the kind of beauty that exudes femininity.
"Auntie's eyes are already big enough, so just draw inner eyeliner. Her dark circles are quite severe, so you need to cover them up properly."
After applying a light layer of lipstick, the shop owner said, "Okay, Auntie, how does it look?"
He Yinhua could hardly believe that the woman in the mirror was herself.
In a daze, she felt as if she had suddenly returned to twenty years ago.
She exclaimed in surprise, like a little girl, "HyunHyun, I... I've become younger."
Jiang Xuan affectionately patted her shoulder, "Yes, Mom, you look younger. I'll teach you makeup so you can be this beautiful every day."
After paying, Jiang Xuan put the lipstick in her pocket and said, "Let's go, let's go buy some clothes."
"I don't need to buy it anymore, my clothes are fine and I can still wear them."
"Go buy two new ones, Mom. They won't cost much."
She was short on time today, otherwise she could have tailored a very beautiful outfit for her.
They went to the clothing market next door and bought a good quality black dress and a pair of high heels.
Because I didn't bring enough money, the high heels were made of synthetic leather.
When they returned, Lu Shengye was also stunned by He Yinhua's sudden and dramatic change.
They were completely different people.
He Yinhua was a little embarrassed.
"How about it? Look at how my mom looks like my sister now that she's dressed up like this?"
Lu Shengye pursed his lips and nodded. "Auntie looks much better now. Let's go back."
"Sigh, can I do the same as you? I still have to pedal this back." Jiang Xuan pointed to the stall cart and sighed, "You guys go ahead."
Just as Jiang Xuan pushed the tricycle onto the main road, a voice called out, "Oh, so you're here?"
