There was a wedding next door, and Lu Rong asked Qiao Wanyue if she wanted to come back for lunch.
Qiao Wanyue thought for a moment, "They might not be able to come back."
Lu Rong originally planned to take his new wife out to show off, but Yang's mother, that gossipy old woman, said in private that her daughter-in-law was no match for Qiao Shanshan. She said that her daughter-in-law was good at everything, and that a hundred Qiao Shanshans couldn't compare to her.
But her daughter-in-law had her own things to do, and she didn't want to bother her.
She rolled her eyes a few times and said, "You should dress up nicely when you go to the county town today." Her daughter-in-law looked like an angel when she dressed up, and she would go out of the house to annoy those gossiping people.
Qiao Wanyue was unaware of her mother-in-law's boasting. She thought her mother-in-law was worried that city people would look down on her and treat her badly. Since it was an elder's good intention, she smiled and agreed.
After she finished eating, she went inside to change her clothes. Because she had hauled 100 jin of dried vegetables that day, she rode in an oxcart while the secretary followed behind on a bicycle. She chose a green dress made of polyester fabric, which Lu Rong had bought for her when they got married. After changing, the girl in the mirror, wearing a green dress and with two shiny braids, looked very much like she was from a bygone era. She didn't look bad, but something just seemed off.
Qiao Wanyue reached out and took the hair off her head. She thought of the hairstyles of the stars in movies a few years later, and instantly turned the two braids into a loose fishtail braid, and fluffed up the hair on the top of her head.
Looking at the transformed girl in the mirror, Qiao Wanyue took out a faux pearl hair clip from the jewelry box, pinned it to her ear, and looked in the mirror again. The girl, who was not wearing any makeup but was sparkling, smiled.
She opened the door, and Sister-in-law Lu's eyes lit up.
"My goodness, Wanyue, you're so beautiful!" Sister-in-law Lu exclaimed in surprise.
Your hair looks really nice.
Qiao Wanyue smiled and went back to her room to get a comb. "Sister-in-law, I'll braid your hair too."
Sister-in-law Lu also had long hair, but she always tied it all up, making her look old-fashioned.
Sister-in-law Lu's eyes lit up. She moved a small stool and sat obediently in front of her, letting Qiao Wanyue play with her hair.
Five minutes later, an old man untangled his shiny hair, combed it smooth, tied it all up, wrapped the long hair around his hands a few times to secure it on top of his head, and then ruffled it a few times to make the top of his head and the bun fluffy.
Sister-in-law Lu's face is rather long, so Qiao Wanyue cut some bangs and used heated tongs to curl them into an "8" shape in front of her forehead. This not only did not affect her vision, but also had the effect of making her look better and covering her face.
"Sister-in-law, go look in the mirror."
Sister-in-law Lu rushed into the room like a child, and then exclaimed, "Wanyue, you're so skillful!"
Sister-in-law Lu rushed over and gave her a big hug.
Qiao Wanyue laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, change into a nice outfit."
Sister-in-law Lu thought so too, and happily went to change her clothes.
Lu Rong squatted in the yard washing vegetables, watching the harmonious two sisters-in-law, her smile never fading.
Before long, the secretary carried a large sack and called out to Qiao Wanyue, "Let's go!"
"Mom, I'm leaving." Qiao Wanyue carried a small white cloth bag and wore a pair of small leather shoes to match her skirt. She wasn't dressed up excessively, but Lu Rong found her more and more pleasing to the eye.
"Let's go, be careful on the road."
Lu Rong wiped his hands clean and saw her out of the house.
At this moment, a crowd had gathered in front of Yang Dazhuang's house. The Party Secretary was a popular figure in the village, and they had originally invited him to officiate the wedding, but something came up at the last minute, so the village head was replaced instead. Everyone watched as the Party Secretary entered the Lu family's house and then came out again.
Then a beautiful girl came out, and everyone's eyes were fixed on her.
After a long while, Lu Mantang's wife finally reacted, "Rongrong, is that Wanyue?"
Qiao Wanyue's hairstyle had suddenly changed, and they almost didn't recognize her.
