Chapter 10: Pre-marriage tension (seeking votes)
"Of course I will live better than you!" Shen Chunmiao said proudly.
"Chen Jintao, I know why you try every possible way to slander me. Isn't it because I don't like you? If I can't have you, it's like destroying you. But I believe in Chunmiao and will never believe what you say."
Lu Qingshan looked at Chen Jintao with arrogance, as if he was the high and mighty moon, and Chen Jintao was just the humble dust in the soil.
In fact, before, Shen Jintao was indeed very humble in front of him, otherwise Lu Qingshan would not dare to say such words directly.
"Get out of here! Since we have split up the family, I don't care about this matter. You can do whatever you want, just don't bother me in front of me!" After saying this, Mr. Shen went straight back to his room.
Lu Qingshan was a little angry at being treated like this by Mr. Shen, and he turned around and left.
Xie Lanzhi and Shen Jianguo's faces turned pale. This showed that they were not taken seriously at all. Could they really let their daughters marry such a man?
However, Chen Chunmiao didn't think there was anything wrong with Lu Qingshan's behavior and actually chased after him.
No one knew what benefits Lu Qingshan promised to Xie Lanzhi and her husband, but they actually agreed. Mr. Shen didn't say anything about it.
The wedding day would be after this night. Chen Jintao was a little nervous and couldn't feel sleepy at all while sitting in the room.
"Taozi, is mom coming in?"
Xu Xuemei's voice came from outside the door.
"Mom, come in! I don't have a valve."
"good!"
The wooden door was pushed open, and Xu Xuemei walked into the room with a smile on her face. Looking at her daughter's expression, she seemed to have no idea what she was talking about, and knew that she was nervous.
"Would you like me to sleep with you tonight?"
"Yes, yes!"
Shen Jintao was already very nervous, but she felt much better after seeing her mother. She thought that talking to her mother might help ease her mood.
"Mom, I'm a little scared."
After Xu Xuemei lay down beside her, Shen Jintao spoke weakly.
"What are you afraid of?"
Xu Xuemei asked.
"I'm getting married tomorrow. I don't know what to feel, I'm just very nervous."
"It's something every woman has to go through, but it's normal for you to be a little nervous. However, you still have your parents behind you, so there's nothing to be afraid of. Besides, we watched Beichuan grow up, and we know him inside out. We know what kind of person he is best. Don't worry, he won't treat you badly."
Xu Xuemei comforted her daughter.
"Well, Huo Beichuan told me before that he would file a marriage report after he joined the army, and then come back to pick me up, because he was supposed to come back to fulfill his engagement with Shen Chunmiao, but then that incident happened, so he sent a telegram to the army asking the leaders not to submit their marriage report, and to reorganize my information, which might take some time."
Chen Jintao didn't know what she wanted to say, so she simply brought up what Huo Beichuan had promised her before.
Xu Xuemei was silent for a while. "I heard Beichuan mention it before. In fact, it is best for you to marry Beichuan and join the army. After all, it is not a big deal for the two of you to be separated all the time. It will more or less affect the relationship between husband and wife over time. I think it is right for you to join the army, but your father will definitely be reluctant to let you go."
"My dad is reluctant to do so, so are you willing to do so?"
Shen Jintao's voice sounded a little aggrieved.
"Of course I can't bear to let you go, but since you've already decided on your marriage and are getting married tomorrow, I should be mentally prepared, right? Besides, once you're married, I just hope that you and Beichuan can be well."
"Silly girl, don't think too much. You have to get up early tomorrow morning. If you don't sleep now, it will be too late!"
Xu Xuemei touched her daughter's head. The little girl who had followed her around since she was a child had finally grown up. Seeing that she was about to get married, Xu Xuemei was actually relieved. This girl did not continue to cling to Lu Qingshan. Marrying Huo Beichuan would make them feel more at ease.
"knew!"
She thought she still wouldn't be able to fall asleep, but when she smelled the scent of her mother, she quickly fell asleep.
Because the weather is not too cold now, the Mid-Autumn Festival is a good time, and the clothes Chen Jintao wore for her wedding are also very beautiful.
At least it's decent in this era.
A snow-white long-sleeved shirt and army green straight pants. Because Shen Jintao has a slim figure, the pants are not too big, but rather slim-fitting.
Of course, in this era, people don’t dare to go too far, and still don’t show off Shen Jintao’s perfect figure, but even so, it’s still eye-catching.
Chen Jintao couldn't help but curl her lips when she looked at the clothes. This was specially prepared by Huo Beichuan, and it was also in line with their military marriage.
The best fabric for making a shirt these days is Dacron. Although Chen Jintao feels that it is not as breathable as cotton, clothes made of this fabric are indeed very stylish and look good when worn.
The fabric of the pants is khaki, which is a little bit harder.
It was still early and pitch black outside. Chen Jintao used the light of the oil lamp to braid her hair. This was the style she had seen in her dream. She thought it looked good so she tried it herself. Unexpectedly, it was successful.
Xu Xuemei cooked a bowl of brown sugar poached eggs for her daughter early in the morning. "Have some breakfast first. After that, I'll ask your aunt to do your facial. You'll need to put on some makeup later."
Putting on makeup these days is actually just applying some beauty powder, drawing eyebrows, soaking red paper in water, and holding it against the mouth to make the lip color look better, and that’s all.
After I finished the fried egg in a few bites, Zhang Qin came in. My niece was getting married, so the Xu family naturally asked for leave collectively and came to see her off in person.
Chen Jintao saw Zhang Qin wrap a thin thread around her hand, and then move it on her face like a pair of scissors.
It hurts a bit, but after you endure it, you will find that your skin looks better, and it is as smooth and delicate as a peeled egg.
Ever since she got engaged to Huo Beichuan, her family no longer allowed her to go to the fields to earn work points. After all, since the family was divided, no one else could interfere with what happened to them.
"Your skin has really become much whiter. In my opinion, you don't even need to put on powder. Just draw eyebrows." Zhang Qin was amazed at her niece's skin. It didn't take long for her skin to become whiter than most people's skin after putting on powder.
"Okay, thank you, auntie!" Chen Jintao knew that Zhang Qin was a clever and deft person, so she was not afraid that she would make herself look bad, and she cooperated obediently.
Sure enough, after simply drawing her eyebrows and putting on a light red lipstick, Shen Jintao looked so charming that Zhang Qin couldn't help but touch her face several times.
"Okay, I'll ask your mom to call a few people you're close to to come and talk to you. It'll be a while before we pick you up!"
