Chapter 534: Five-Year Period
The news that Cheng Qiao was going to open a beauty salon spread throughout the garrison overnight and even reached the family compound. All the women were attracted by the news.
They have always believed that Cheng Qiao has a secret recipe for her unchanged beauty, but due to Qin Daqiang, they dare not discuss it privately. However, they firmly believe that Cheng Qiao has a special secret medicine.
Just like the empresses and concubines of the emperor in the past, they put a lot of effort into maintaining their youthful looks. Now that Cheng Qiao is going to open a beauty salon, some of those hidden secrets will definitely be leaked out.
The beauty salon was still under renovation, but the entrance was already surrounded by women seeking advice. Cheng Qiao was well aware of the true meaning of doing business, and used the principle of inducing people by hearing their voice before seeing them.
With Cuihua's consent, Cheng Qiao posted photos of Cuihua before and after using the beauty pill. Cuihua has been on the family farm for almost three years, and everyone is already familiar with her.
So when the photos were hung up, they really caused a sensation. Cuihua was extremely cooperative and automatically stood at the door of the beauty salon and acted as a model without Cheng Qiao saying anything.
"Aunt Cuihua, can I touch your face?"
A military wife squeezed in front of Cuihua and asked timidly. After all, Cuihua was the little troublemaker's mother-in-law and should not be offended.
"Touch it, but have you washed your hands?"
"It's clean, it's clean, wow, it's really smooth, Aunt Cuihua, I want a beauty treatment, how do I sign up?"
"Yes, go find my daughter-in-law. She is also one of the investors."
Qian Longxin took out a stack of registration forms at this time. Those who needed beauty treatments could sign up first. They had a limited supply of beauty pills, so it was first come, first served.
"Sister Xinlong, can I ask what the price of the beauty pill is?"
Qian Xinlong was a little nervous. Cheng Qiao's offer was very high. If he told her the price, he didn't know if he would be beaten.
"this…"
"Hey, hurry up and tell me..."
"There are three types of beauty treatments in our beauty salon. The first is basic beauty treatments, which cost 100 yuan for a course of treatments. The second type is deep beauty treatments, which also cost 500 yuan for a course of treatments of 10 times."
"As for the beauty pill, it only takes one treatment to be effective, and the price is 5,000 yuan per treatment."
"Fuck, five thousand dollars, are you talking in your sleep?"
"Yes, yes. My man only earns over 200 yuan a month. It would take him more than two years to earn 5,000 yuan."
"It's not about robbing money, this is too outrageous."
"That's ridiculous. Your face can look five years younger. Do you think a thousand dollars for a year is too much?"
Shen Ying stood up, took out an envelope and threw it to Qian Longxin. She was the first to sign up.
Everyone looked at each other, even Shen Ying stood up, it seemed that the beauty pill was really effective.
Li Le was the second. She signed up for Li's mother. The girl also joined in, but it was not for her, but for her mother-in-law. Her mother-in-law sells clothes in the store every day, and she cannot have a too old face.
The wives of several regiment commanders and company commanders looked at each other. Every time they took action, they had a motive, such as being able to do something good for their men.
"The three of us will sign up together for the 5,000 yuan one."
Qian Longxin quickly took out the registration form and asked them to register, then collected the money and issued the invoice. The whole process was quick and efficient, and the military wives couldn't help but admire him.
Those military wives with little money could no longer control their desire to spend and bought basic beauty treatments and deep beauty treatments. Cuihua was so delighted that the beauty salon opened for business even before it was decorated.
In just three months, Cheng Qiao and Qian Longxin's beauty salon has become famous, and their hairdressing and clothing businesses have also reached a new level.
The skin of women in Liangzhou has improved significantly thanks to this beauty salon, so much so that it has become famous and people who have registered for beauty treatments have lined up until the end of the year.
Qian Longxin is busy every day, leaving home early and returning late, but he always maintains the pace of teaching the twins for two hours every day. Cuihua is very happy to see this, as it is hard to find a daughter-in-law like him even with a lantern.
But Cuihua, who was eager to have a grandchild, could not wait any longer, so she secretly went to Cheng Qiao to ask for pills that could help her get pregnant early. Cheng Qiao smiled and gave her two health pills. After taking them, she felt much healthier.
When Qian Longxin became pregnant, it was not long before Li Huan would return home. Cheng Qiao counted the days every day: sixty days, fifty-five days, and forty days.
Cheng Qiao's nervousness infected everyone around her. Ye Jing looked unchanged on the outside, but his homework book was filled with urgency every day:
Dad will be back in a month. I wonder if he can come back a few days earlier so that we can spend a reunion year together.
Dad will be back in twenty days, and even Brother Cheng Li and Grandpa Cheng will be back too.
My grandpa is here to celebrate the New Year with us. Dad, why haven’t you come back yet?
There are only five days left before Dad comes back, and Mom is already looking forward to it.
Dad will be back tomorrow, and Grandma and Brother Li Ming are already waiting for him at the door.
On the appointed day, Cheng Qiao did not go to work, and the children did not go out either. They all stayed at home and waited quietly. It was not that they did not want to wait at the farm gate, but Cheng Qiao would not let them.
It was winter when Li Huan left, and it was not possible to stay outside in Liangzhou during the winter. Fortunately, Wang Zai was there and he would definitely report the news.
Cheng Qiao gathered his energy and looked towards the farm gate. Wang Zai was hiding in his cabin and sleeping. There was a charcoal basin in the cabin, so he would definitely not be frozen.
Wang Zai didn't move at all, which proved that no one was passing by outside the farm. Cheng Qiao's heart slowly sank.
Until it was completely dark, Li Huan still didn't come back. At this time, not only Cheng Qiao looked unhappy, but Li's mother was even more sad.
"Huanzi, if you don't come back, I don't know if I can see you again."
Li Ming hugged his mother and made a secret decision in his heart that as long as he was around, he would never let his grandmother die.
Cheng Li raised his head and looked at Cheng Qiao firmly:
"Mom, Dad said that if he can't come back in five years, he will definitely come back in ten years. The later Dad comes back, the stronger his ability will be. We should wish Dad the best."
Cheng Qiao controlled her emotions and nodded in approval. She extended her hand to Cheng Li, and Cheng Li carefully took out an admission letter.
It was an admission letter from Columbia University's Department of Finance, because the country had introduced a policy on studying abroad: supporting self-funded study abroad, encouraging return to the country, and freedom to come and go.
Cheng Li is going to learn the most systematic financial knowledge, and when he returns after completing his studies, he will begin to take over the family business.
"Go ahead. Remember, you have your parents, grandparents, and brothers and sisters at home. Your roots are here. You must come back after you finish your studies."
"Mom, I will definitely come back. I have already made an agreement with Wu Xiaolin that when we come back, we will ask mom and dad to preside over our wedding."
"Is Wu Xiaolin going too?"
"Yes."
Hearing that two people were going together, Cheng Qiao and the others felt relieved. It is always good to have someone to accompany you in a foreign country.
