"Sister, do you want to make your own wedding dress?" Qin Rou's eyes lit up after hearing this, "Sure! Sister, you try it!"

"Sister, the wedding dress you make must be very beautiful!"

Qin Mian's face was embarrassed: "Don't compliment me like that, what if what I make is shameful, where will I put my face?"

"Sister, just try it, what's the use of trying, no one stipulates that someone is a genius from the beginning, sister, you can make a few more and slowly practice your skills."

"Maybe sister, you can open a wedding dress store in the future."

Qin Mian shook her head: "This wedding dress is beautiful, but who will buy it? I can't wear it out on weekdays..."

"We can rent wedding dresses to people for taking pictures. How many times can a person get married in his lifetime? If you can't buy a wedding dress, you can't rent a wedding dress once. The newlyweds took some beautiful photos at the beach as a souvenir.

"Yes." Qin Mian's eyes lit up. She thought of the scene described by Qin Rou, and she became more and more excited: "The girls put on such a beautiful wedding dress to take photos before getting married. I'm afraid they will never forget it in their lives."

Qin Mian has been making clothes for many years. She likes to see those people's happy and satisfied expressions. At the same time, she also hopes that young girls can have an unforgettable wedding experience.

"Sister, then you can make a few wedding dresses to practice! We can inlay pearls on the wedding dress, and have beautiful shell carvings. Oh, right, a pearl veil! I must make a pearl veil!"

The snow-white pearl veil is like a dream. If it is draped on a woman's black hair, it is dazzling and beautiful.

"This..." Although Qin Mian felt that her sister's idea was too extravagant and dreamy, those were pearls. It would be such a luxury and waste to inlay pearls on a wedding dress. But she also thought that the factory would produce tens of thousands of pearls this year, so she didn't think it was a waste.

Now that everyone's life has improved, what's the big deal about wasting once?

If it were a few years ago, when fabrics were extremely difficult to buy on the market, Qin Mian had to be careful to save fabrics when making an ordinary set of clothes, let alone the luxury of making a wedding dress.

That was simply something she dared not even think about.

"Sister, don't worry so much, just do it. I, your sister, also want to wear the wedding dress made by my sister myself."

Who doesn't want to wear beautiful clothes? It's not just the wedding anniversary. Who says you can't take wedding photos on weekdays?

"Okay, I'll make a pearl wedding dress using those not-so-good little pearls in the factory."

"Don't worry, we have plenty of little pearls in our factory."

"Sister, make a pearl veil!" Qin Rou told Qin Mian what she imagined a pearl veil to look like.

--The snow-white veil is inlaid with countless tiny pearls.

After hearing this, Qin Mian had to admire her sister: "You really have ideas."

Who knows how beautiful a pearl veil like that will be after it's made.

Qin Rou and her sister acted as soon as they said they would. Qin Mian went to Guangzhou to buy materials, and Qin Rou went to the factory to select pearls. She also asked someone to make a lot of beautiful shell carvings to decorate her sister's wedding dress.

Qin Mian locked herself in the room for more than half a month, and finally made a gorgeous pearl wedding dress with great effort.

After it was done, she quickly called her sister over and urged her to change into it.

"Sister, you should wear the wedding dress you made."

"Don't talk nonsense, try it on quickly, my sister is so beautiful, and she is most suitable for these beautiful pearls!"

Qin Mian urged Qin Rou to change into the pearl wedding dress. The snow-white and complicated long skirt dragged on the ground. Qin Rou's face was gorgeous and bold. She put on exquisite makeup and a gorgeous pearl veil.

Qin Mian saw her sister in her wedding dress without blinking: "Come and smile at your sister. One smile can move a city, another smile can move an empire. You would rather not know that a city and an empire can be moved. It is hard to find a beautiful woman again."

"My sister is so beautiful!"

Qin Rou raised her hand to hold the veil and smiled at Qin Mian: "Sister, you have been with your brother-in-law for a long time, and you will show off your knowledge."

"Your sister said all the words from the heart. It's a pity that your brother-in-law is not here. Hurry up and take a few more photos to keep for your brother-in-law."

"If Doudou Rongrong were here, she would definitely say that mom is the most beautiful. My mom is the most beautiful mom in the world."

"Sister, you are also the most beautiful mother in the eyes of the children!"

Qin Rou was at her sister and brother-in-law's house in Dajiao Village at this time. Qin Mian asked her to go out and take some photos. As soon as she walked out, she immediately attracted a group of onlookers. How many people in their village have seen someone wearing a wedding dress? No matter adults or children, everyone ran over.

"Sister Qin Rou, you are so beautiful!"

"So beautiful!"

Aunt Fu opened her mouth so wide that she could swallow an egg. Meng Lan and other girls from the other villages looked at the gorgeous wedding dress with envy. The pearls and shell carvings inlaid on the wedding dress shone brightly in the sunlight, especially the pearl veil. Each pearl shone beautifully, as if a starry sky was covering her head. It was like a dream and not something that could be seen in the human world.

"It looks like a dream!"

"The fairies described in the story are just like this."

"What a happy woman must be to wear this dress."

...

After Qin Rou took a few photos, she went back to change her wedding dress and urged her sister Qin Mian to change into it. Qin Mian refused several times, but finally couldn't bear it anymore and changed into the wedding dress she made herself. Qin Rou drew a delicate and beautiful makeup for her.

Qin Mian looked at herself in the mirror and really felt like she was dreaming. How come she didn't recognize the beautiful woman in the mirror?

It turned out that... she could still be so beautiful.

"Sister, your hands really have the power of a god. You put so much stuff on your sister's face, it's like you changed my face, the children can't recognize me."

"Who said that?" Qin Rou smiled slightly: "Sister, you are so beautiful!"

"Go out and let people see! I'm going to ask someone to call my brother-in-law back home! Let him come and see his beautiful wife!"

Qin Mian's face flushed with shame: "Don't be so loud, it's embarrassing."

"The clouds resemble clothes and the flowers resemble beauty, the spring breeze blows on the bank and the dew is thick."

"Sister, don't worry, your brother-in-law is not here, but my brother-in-law is here!!"

"Don't move! I'm going to call my brother-in-law back!"

"If you don't come back, his beautiful wife will run away!"

"Why is your sister so annoying!!!!"

...

Chen Mian was originally in class, and just after class, he was pulled and told to go home quickly, "There is a big surprise, Teacher Chen, a big surprise!!!"

"Children, let's take half a day off today, let's go to Teacher Chen's house to see the excitement!! "

"Oh oh ah!!!" The children cheered, and a group of people pushed Chen Mian to go home quickly.

Chen Mian and several other teachers rode their bikes, and the children chased after them, like monkeys, competing to see who would run back first.

"Teacher Chen, hurry up! Go home and have a look!"

Chen Mian was surrounded by various urging voices, and everyone had a strange smile on their face to urge him. He was affected by this strange atmosphere, and his heartbeat accelerated.

When he returned home, in that familiar small building, under the eyes of a crowd of onlookers, he saw the woman walking out of the house.

The woman was wearing a gorgeous pearl wedding dress, and in such bright sunlight, she smiled at him lightly. At that moment, the waves of light flowed, like spring water reflecting pear blossoms.

Chen Mian didn't know what he was thinking at the time, but he felt that his chest was filled with something, and the two looked at each other.

"Chen Mian!" She called him.

Chen Mian smiled, and in that instant, he seemed to have seen nearly twenty years of time pass by in a flash. When he

first saw the southwestern mountains, he could still see the thousands of mountains and green forests, the clear river, the small bridges, the fishing boats, and the hanging buildings in his mind. The sound of mountain songs in the distance floated endlessly, and the bright girl walked towards him from the mountain.

They had traveled all over the world and visited the ends of the earth... All kinds of past events appeared before his eyes.

"Teacher Chen, why are you still standing there? Go change your clothes."

"Brother-in-law!" Qin Rou called him, "I've found your clothes!"

Under the urging of a group of people, Chen Mian changed into his old suit. He hadn't worn such formal clothes for a long time, and he was a little nervous when he walked out.

Qin Mian looked at him tenderly, as if she saw the elegant young man in the old days.

"Sister, go and hold your brother-in-law's hand."

"Jingyi, Jingyi, you are back, come and take a picture of your parents."

"Auntie!"

Qin Rou called Chen Jingyi over. Chen Jingyi knew art and painting, and had an aesthetic taste beyond ordinary people. His photography skills were also extremely rare. Qin Rou called Chen Jingyi over to take a picture of his parents.

Chen Jingyi took the camera, and Qin Mian and Chen Mian didn't care about being shy. Under the onlookers of the villagers, the couple took countless group photos, and they also took a lot of photos with a group of children.

Chen Mian's students all came over, and Chen Jingyi took a group photo of them.

The seven or eight-year-old girl wanted to touch the beautiful snow-white wedding dress but didn't dare to, for fear that her dark fingers would dirty the snow-white flawless beauty.

"Master's wife, can I wear such a beautiful dress in the future?"

Qin Mian smiled and replied, "Of course!"

"When you grow up and have a favorite, wear the wedding dress made by Master's wife to get married."

...

"Many girls would like to wear a wedding dress once."

Qin Rou and her sister Qin Mian discussed and decided to open a small wedding dress photography center store in Lucheng together. Qin Mian made the wedding dress by herself, and Qin Rou provided cosmetics, pearl necklaces, pearl earrings and other accessories.

This small wedding dress photography center store undertakes a complete set of wedding dress photography business, including providing wedding dresses and makeup accessories, and also sells customized wedding dresses and various pearl accessories.

"This wedding dress shop can advertise our pearls."

"If they like the photos they take, they might buy a pearl necklace or a pair of pearl earrings or something..."

"Sister, you will be in charge of this pearl wedding dress photography shop in the future."

They found a few young girls in the village, and Qin Rou taught them how to put on makeup and take photos. After a month of training, their simple wedding dress photography shop was opened.

There are not many wedding dresses in the shop. Qin Mian is working overtime to make them, and several skilled aunts in the village are also helping to make clothes. The wedding dresses they make have various specifications and styles, and simple styles do not need to be inlaid with too many accessories.

Qin Mian herself was making a gorgeous wedding dress, which would be inlaid with shell carvings, and the beautiful pearls were the stamens of the shell carvings.

Qin Rou found a few young and beautiful girls and took a few wedding photos of them individually to be used as models in the store.

"Sister Qin Rou, can I be the first customer of the store? I also want to wear this beautiful wedding dress."

The first customer of their store was none other than Meng Lan.

"Menglan? If you want to take pictures, just do it. We won't charge you!"

"Come on, take a few pictures and put them in our store for advertising, okay?"

Menglan blushed. She had experienced a failed marriage and was abandoned by her former husband, an educated youth. She had to raise her daughter alone. How could a woman who was abandoned by a man have the nerve to take wedding photos one day?

Menglan didn't know where she got the courage from, but she still yearned for that beautiful wedding dress in her heart.

She felt that she didn't need another man by her side. She could wear that gorgeous wedding dress by herself. She wanted to see herself differently from usual.

Menglan put on her wedding dress, Qin Rou put on a beautiful makeup for her, Menglan put on a pearl necklace she had grown herself, and beautiful crystal pearl earrings on her ears.

She looked at herself in the mirror and smiled a satisfied and sweet smile.

Aunt Fu took many photos on the beach with her granddaughter and her daughter in a wedding dress. The last photo of Menglan was placed in the wedding dress shop. The woman in the photo had delicate features, a simple and sweet smile, and was filled with a kind of happiness and sweetness.

"I saw a happy self." Menglan looked at herself in the photo, her smile was relaxed and beautiful.

She felt that her life had been dark, but the future was like a pearl under the sun, reflecting a dazzling light.

Menglan decided to keep these photos well.

Qin Mian looked at the sweet smiles of the women in wedding dresses in the photography studio. She joked with Qin Rou, "What about the boss of Xunrou Pearl Factory? Why don't you take a few photos and hang them in the pearl factory to advertise your pearls?"

Qin Rou was indeed hesitant, wondering whether she should personally promote her pearls, but she didn't plan to promote them in a wedding dress. "Sister, when can you come and make me a cheongsam?"

Wearing a cheongsam and pearl jewelry, she looks more retro.

- And more like a boss.

Zhang Chengbei and his wife were the first customers of the wedding photography studio. The wedding photography packages in the studio are 68 yuan, 108 yuan, 188 yuan, 288 yuan and 388 yuan.

In order to express her gratitude to Zhang Chengbei for taking photos for the couple, Qin Rou returned the favor by confiscating the money from the Zhangs and took wedding photos for them for free.

Zhang Chengbei was very happy, because he finally took wedding photos for them!!!

He was very satisfied with the whole process, but he only regretted that the Lus did not see him take the photos in person.

Huang Xinying smiled: "The makeup that Xiao Qin did for me looks really good." "She is

worthy of being a girl from the art troupe."

"Girls from other art troupes can't do makeup as well as her."

"Who made her a beauty-loving girl from the art troupe? I guess she practiced with makeup a lot in the art troupe."

...

Zhang Chengbei and his wife took a whole set of photos. They were so happy after they were done. They wanted all the men in the compound to see their wedding photos and know how happy they were.

"Looking back many years ago, I was the envied man in the family compound, and I married a good wife."

"But this good wife went astray halfway."

Zhang Chengbei sighed: "Instead, I became a good man who can do housework and kitchen work, take care of the yard, grow flowers and grass to cultivate my sentiments, grow vegetables and melons to supplement the family income... and wash diapers for my son."

All of this is all thanks to the neighbor Lu Laogou, Zhang's lifelong enemy.

Since he came, his good days are over.

"This is a good journey!" Huang Xinying smiled happily. In the past few years, she has become a woman that many people envy. Although she has no daughter, she has given birth to three sons. Her husband can cook in the kitchen and wash diapers for the children. In addition, in order to fight with the neighbor Lao Lu, his family's Lao Zhang often strolls around the family yard with the second child in one hand and the third child in the other hand, which has earned her a good reputation.

The neighbor Lao Lu holds two children in his hands, and the neighbor Lao Zhang also holds them on both sides! Lao Zhang never admits defeat.

One big and one small are more challenging, and they are better than the neighbor in spirit!

"Son, son, son! Yichao, Chao, Chao! Your dad will give you something!" Zhang Chengbei wanted to let the whole world know about something that made him happy and satisfied. Unfortunately, he couldn't show it in front of his neighbors, so he could only regretfully look for someone else, and he would find anyone he could, even his own son.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Yichao was reading a book. He would take the college entrance examination for the first time next year.

Although he was reading a book, he would actually secretly read martial arts novels. At this moment, there was a martial arts novel under his textbook, but his father refused to leave and was reading the key plot, which really delayed his reading of the novel.

"Here, I'll give you a pocket watch. You brothers all have one! You will be admitted to university next year, remember to bring it with you!" Zhang Chengbei gave a pocket watch to his son Zhang Yichao.

Zhang Yichao opened the pocket watch in his hand and looked at the wedding photo of the couple on the watch with a wooden face: "..."

Do you think his father is crazy, he actually let him take his parents' wedding photos to college.

"You must show off in front of your classmates. Your parents have taken wedding photos at the ends of the earth. Are you jealous? In the future, you should also bring your partner back to take wedding photos!!"

Zhang Yichao: "...I may not be able to get into university yet."

"You are discouraged. If you fail once, there will be a second and third time, right? You should keep the photo well." Zhang Chengbei patted his eldest son's shoulder.

"Are you my biological father? I just said a few humble words, do you really think I can't get into college?"

"Then remember to bring your wedding photos!"

Zhang Yichao: "..."

After Qin Mian's wedding photography studio opened, there was an endless stream of people coming to take wedding photos. This was also thanks to Zhang Chengbei's promotion. Many couples in the family courtyard came to take wedding photos. Qin Rou gave military couples in the family courtyard a 60% to 70% discount, so most people came to take photos.

Several young girls from Dajiao Village came to the photography studio to help, and several young guys followed to learn photography and moved things back and forth.

Qin Rou contracted and rented three vehicles from Lucheng Transport Company to facilitate travel between the pearl factory and the photography studio. Renting a car was nothing new. It was not easy for ordinary people to get a driver's license, and they had to rely on a transport company and pay a large sum of rent to the transport company every month. The transport company also made extra money from this.

“Look at the photos I took,

don’t they?” “These wedding photos taken at the beach are

so beautiful!” “I’ve only seen people taking wedding photos in big cities before, but I didn’t expect that we can take photos on our small island. How beautiful! The sea and the beach make people look so beautiful in the photos!”

Many people in the family compound who took wedding photos were very happy. Many of them rarely take photos. For them, taking photos is a major event in life, and wedding photos of couples are even more special. After the photo shoot, even if it costs money, they are very happy. The relationship between some couples has been greatly enhanced because of it.

Guo Qingmei did not go to take wedding photos. When she heard their discussion, she just kept silent, because she had said before: "After I make money, I will buy foreign brand-name wedding dresses for photos. The ones made in their small workshop are in no way comparable to foreign goods."

She said so, but other people did not care about domestic or foreign goods. It was enough that other people's wedding dresses were beautiful. Therefore, except Guo Qingmei, many people went to take wedding photos, and the photos turned out very well.

"Look at my pearl veil, it's so beautiful!"

"The pearls from Qin Rou's pearl factory are so beautiful. When I save money in the future, I will buy a pearl necklace to wear!"

...

Guo Qingmei listened to their discussion and secretly felt jealous. She was upset and thought that when she made money and bought a wedding dress from abroad, she would definitely surprise them.

She wanted to buy a foreign pearl wedding dress!! Foreign goods are much more advanced than those from their small workshop.

Qin Rou and her family have been back home for a while. The yard has changed a lot. Green vines have grown on the built frame, green grass has grown on the planned lawn, and the hydrangeas transplanted from her sister's house are about to bloom.

The four children in the family are studying on the island again. The two brothers Zhou Zhou and Dumpling are in elementary school, and the sisters Tian Dou Rong went to the kindergarten where their brother went. Principal Wu was very happy to see the two little sisters.

"Our little Dou Rong has also come to kindergarten."

"Your mom taught dancing in kindergarten!"

"Wow! Really?!"

"Mom can dance!"

"Yes, your mom dances beautifully!"

...

After returning from kindergarten, the Tian Dou Rong sisters surrounded Qin Rou and said they wanted to see their mom dance.

They also wanted to see the sweet bunny dance!

Qin Rou: "Your mother has forgotten how to dance."

"Mom, dance, mom, dance!"

Lu Yan held the two little daughters and followed them, winking and urging them: "Wife, dance for our little Dou Rong."

"No, no, no!"

"You three are bad people!! A bad father with a bad daughter!!!"

"I want to see mom dance!"

"If you want to learn to dance, I will send you to the Children's Palace to learn to dance. Sister Nian Nian is also learning to dance in the Children's Palace."

The two sisters Tian Dou Rong stomped their feet and yelled, following Qin Rou's butt and entangled with her: "I just want to see mom dance."

"Okay, okay, mommy will take you to the second floor to dance." Qin Rou took the two little kids to the second floor room to dance. She drove Lu Yan, who had a strange smile on his face, out: "You are not allowed to come in!"

Doudou and Rongrong supported: "Dad, don't peek at mommy dancing!"

Lu Yan snorted coldly: "It's obvious that you three mothers and daughters are of one mind, excluding Daddy. What secrets do you have that you don't allow me to see? It's not like I haven't seen it before."

"Go, go, don't delay us three mothers and daughters."

Qin Rou locked the door and took the two little girls to the room to dance a few simple kindergarten soft and cute dances. Because she wanted to teach the two daughters to dance, the movements were of course as cute as they could be.

The two little Dourongs twisted and turned imitating their mother's movements.

Qin Rou smiled: "The little ones still

look good when they dance." "My wife dances better."

Qin Rou: "..."

Qin Rou looked back and saw a comrade named Lu sitting on the window. She pulled him down and said fiercely: "You don't set a good example in front of the children. You climbed the window without permission. You scared me to death. Dad won't let you eat tonight!"

"Mom is too fierce."

"You must be taught a lesson!"

The small lawn in their yard is very beautiful, and the weather is fine. Lu Yan even asked someone to get a few butter crabs, so Qin Rou thought about having an outdoor barbecue outside.

The children at home are older, and there is nothing wrong with eating a little barbecue. The more people there are, the more fun it is to have barbecue outside, so she called more people over.

Old Zhang and Liu from next door came over, as well as detachment commander Xie Rongqi and Gu Cheng, who came over to join in the fun. These men drank and played cards together, and the Navy retained the old project and played at a high level.

In addition to charcoal grilling, Qin Rou marinated the fish and put the iron plate with the fish into the oven to grill the fish. On the outside, garlic oysters, prawns, fish balls, etc. were grilled...

Xie Rongqi smelled the aroma of grilled oysters and couldn't help rubbing his nose. He held the card and smiled, "Lu Yan, you live a very comfortable life."

"You are so lucky."

"Gu Cheng, why don't you learn from Chief of Staff Lu? How old are you from Lu Yan? I remember you are only one year apart?"

"Look, he has a wife, children, and daughter, and his son is so grown up. Why are you still a bachelor?" Xie Rongqi looked at Gu Cheng and criticized. After so many years, there was no such thing as Wulun. This was also an old project that needed to be preserved.

Gu Cheng: "..."

Choosing to be transferred to the South China Sea Fleet was the biggest mistake of his life.

Gu Cheng hesitated whether he should apply for transfer to the nearby island garrison area like Zhao Jianghong.

Fortunately, Xie Rongqi not only criticized Gu Cheng, he also criticized Lu Yan: "Lu Yan, look at what you did as the captain before? You didn't help Comrade Gu Cheng, but let him not find a partner?"

Lu Yan said indifferently: "He doesn't want to find a partner." It's

none of my business.

Xie Rongqi said: "You are enjoying yourself, but you let Comrade Gu eat coarse food?"

Gu Cheng: "...I don't eat coarse food."

What's wrong with not finding a partner? He just doesn't want to find a partner!!!

"You eat pig food and think it tastes good. I don't know what to say to you, pig."

"Oh, these grilled oysters are so delicious?"

Qin Rou and Huang Saozi brought them a plate of grilled fish intestines, oysters, leeks, etc. They were having a lot of fun grilling and brushing sauce with the children. The fun of grilling is to do it yourself.

"Your daughter grilled it. Will Dad eat it?" Qin Rou stuffed a string of shrimps into Lu Yan's mouth.

"My daughter is young and she knows how to honor Dad."

Lu Yan looked at the half-black shrimp and raised his eyebrows: "...Is it cooked?"

Is this how sweet bean paste honors Dad?

"Don't worry, it's cooked. Although it looks ugly, it's delicious after peeling the shell."

Xie Rong pushed Gu Cheng and ate the oysters with a frown: Look at it, look at it, are you jealous?

"Wife, did you bake this for me?"

His wife smiled and said, "You are so beautiful, try it!"

Gu Cheng: "..."

"Xiao Qin, you have been unqualified as a sister-in-law for so many years, and you haven't introduced anyone to Gu Cheng."

"Didn't you go to a university? What about your classmates? Do you have any? Introduce one to me, Xiao Gu."
