Chapter 91 Chapter 91 Red lips make them look more kissable...

Among Lin Beibei's playmates, including the two siblings, four are in high school.

On the day we sent them to high school, everyone gathered at Jiang Qiuyue's house.

Tang Hai's brother was not available, so his sister-in-law sent him to Jiang Qiuyue's house, said a few polite words and left.

Wu Shuangshuang saw Tang Hai sitting alone, so she came over and asked him if he had had breakfast.

"I ate Aunt Wu's food and I ate porridge." Tang Hai sat obediently on the chair, in sharp contrast to Lin Daya who was jumping around in the yard.

Oh, Lin Daya is not called Daya now. When the girl grew up, she felt that the name was not nice, and there happened to be a trend of changing names at that time, so she insisted on changing her name.

Wu Shuangshuang and Lin Rong were both not well educated, Lin Rong had only learned a few words in the past few years. Wu Shuangshuang was troubled and went to Jiang Qiuyue. Jiang Qiuyue said that she should name her four daughters after plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum. Wu Shuangshuang hoped that Lin Daya could be more elegant, so she changed her name to Meixiang.

But it is obvious that changing the name cannot change the personality. Lin Meixiang is now the little bully in the family compound. She is so arrogant and a big sister. Many children fight and do not report to their parents, but come to her for judgment first.

"Daya, can't you be quiet for a while?" Wu Shuangshuang looked at her with a headache, "Yesterday someone came to complain again, saying that you were acting as a judge and making decisions for others."

"That means they trust me, that's why they let me judge." Lin Meixiang pouted and shouted to the room, "Lin Beibei, Lin Nannan, hurry up, don't dawdle!"

Jiang Qiuyue, who was in the room, heard this and slapped Lin Zhengrong's hand around her waist, "Okay, Meixiang is urging us, let's go out quickly."

She walked out of the room and saw that her children had packed their bags and were heading for the bus together.

When I arrived at the high school in the city, there were already many people reporting at the school gate. The high school had a separate teaching building, and the dormitory building was also separate from the junior high school.

There were eight people in a dormitory, and they arrived not too early. Jiang Qiuyue followed Lin Nannan to the girls' dormitory, while Lin Zhengrong and Lin Beibei went to the boys' dormitory.

Lin Nannan happened to live in the same room with Lin Meixiang. They lived on the upper and lower bunks, with Lin Nannan sleeping on the lower bunk.

Wu Shuangshuang wanted to climb up to help her daughter make the bed, but Lin Meixiang refused, "You don't need to do this little thing. I can do it myself."

Lin Nannan also made her own bed, while Jiang Qiuyue shared the snacks she brought with her daughter's roommates. They were going to live together for two years, so it wasn't important for them to have a good relationship, as long as they could get along peacefully.

After the two little girls had made their beds, they walked around the school and finally met up with Lin Beibei and the others in the cafeteria.

During the meal, Wu Shuangshuang specifically instructed, "I'll put the money and ration coupons in the crease of your pillow, and you should plan how to spend them. Don't spend them all in the first few days and go hungry later. Also, you are the older sister, and you have to step up when your brothers and sisters have any problems. How are you doing at home? Don't be scared when you go to school, understand?"

"I know, mom. You've said this to me eight hundred times. Can I just watch them get bullied? No way!" Lin Meixiang assured everyone, "With me here, no one can bully the four of us. Besides, Lin Beibei is a good fighter, and Tang Hai may not be very good, but he can still put up a few punches. Don't worry about it."

This is the first time for them to live in a school dormitory away from home. Now they are more looking forward to the new life and do not expect the inconvenience of leaving home.

Wu Shuangshuang looked at her daughter and sighed. She knew her daughter well, so she had to go see Lin Nannan again, "Nannan, be careful, help auntie keep an eye on Daya."

"Don't worry, Auntie. We will take good care of ourselves." Lin Nannan said, picking up some food for her mother. "This fish is good. Mom, try it."

Jiang Qiuyue was relieved. She had said everything that needed to be said. The children had to learn to grow up on their own, and she had to learn to let go.

After dinner, she and Lin Zhengrong were about to leave. Wu Shuangshuang, who usually looked like a carefree person, felt reluctant to let them go.

"They have never left our side even though they have grown up, and I still feel uneasy." Wu Shuangshuang looked back every few steps as she walked out of the school.

"Okay, they still have to work in the future, and maybe they will marry someone from another place. Are you the same?" Jiang Qiuyue held Wu Shuangshuang's arms, "Don't think too much, they will take care of themselves. Let's go to the department store, I want to buy some lipstick."

Wu Shuangshuang was pulled away by Jiang Qiuyue, "What is lipstick?"

"You'll know later." Jiang Qiuyue saw others using it and then realized that it was sold in department stores.

When they arrived at the department store, they went straight to the lipstick section. One stick cost twelve dollars, and there were only three shades available, which they couldn't even try.

Jiang Qiuyue could only pick up one according to the color of the outer packaging. After paying, she opened it and started applying lipstick. She had fair skin, and her complexion looked even better after applying lipstick.

"Sister Shuangshuang, let me help you put it on." When she took the lipstick and wanted to help Wu Shuangshuang put it on, Wu Shuangshuang shyly avoided it.

"Oh, this is not for weddings. It's embarrassing to paint your lips red." Wu Shuangshuang waved her hands shyly, "I'd better forget it."

"You can put on makeup even if you're not married. There's no rule that you can only put on makeup after you get married." Jiang Qiuyue pinched Wu Shuangshuang's chin. "We work so hard every day, so what's wrong with loving to look pretty? It's not a bad thing. If we dress up beautifully, the masters will like it, right?"

"Okay, look at the mirror. Do you look much better?" She pushed Wu Shuangshuang in front of the mirror.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Wu Shuangshuang blinked and didn't dare to look any further, "I'm so embarrassed. If my Lin Rong saw this, he would definitely laugh at me."

"That means he has no taste." Jiang Qiuyue turned to look at Lin Zhengrong and asked, "How about me, am I good-looking?"

"It looks good." Lin Zhengrong stared with his eyes wide open. Jiang Qiuyue's lips were red, and looked even more kissable.

"Look, Lin Zhengrong said it looks good, do you want to buy one too?" Jiang Qiuyue urged.

Wu Shuangshuang said forget it, "I'd better not buy it. I'm not as willing as you." After she got a job, Wu Shuangshuang's family became much more well-off and she had extra money every month. However, she was still used to spending money the same way as before. At most, she would go to the black market with Jiang Qiuyue to buy more meat.

Seeing Wu Shuangshuang's insistence, Jiang Qiuyue stopped persuading her. After buying lipstick, she bought pearl powder. Although she was reluctant to eat, the family's savings were still increasing. Money is money if it is spent, and it is just paper if it is not used. She would not let herself down a bit.

Lin Zhengrong helped carry the things and asked, "Do you want to go look at clothes and shoes? Didn't you say that making shoes yourself is too tiring? How about buying a pair of small leather shoes?"

Every time Jiang Qiuyue sewed the soles of shoes, her hands would ache for two days. But Lin Beibei was very good at wearing shoes and would wear out a pair of shoes in three months. So Jiang Qiuyue had to sew the soles frequently.

When Jiang Qiuyue heard Lin Zhengrong talking about buying shoes, she thought of buying shoes for the children and turned around to buy shoes.

Wu Shuangshuang also bought some for her children. It was a rare opportunity to go shopping in a department store, so no matter how frugal she was, she had to be nice to her children.

Lin Zhengrong took Jiang Qiuyue to try on some small leather shoes. The salesperson took out some lambskin shoes and said in the same attitude as always, "There are only two colors of lambskin shoes, white and red. If you want to buy them, try them. If you don't want to buy them, don't try them. Otherwise, if you damage them, it will be very expensive."

A pair of lambskin shoes cost thirty-five yuan, which was equivalent to half a month's salary for a salesperson. She stared at the shoes closely, fearing that Jiang Qiuyue and the others would damage them.

Jiang Qiuyue was too lazy to argue with the salesperson. All salespeople nowadays were like this. They had a stable job and most of them didn't care about their performance. Only those who wanted to be proactive would try to work harder.

She tried the white pair and they fit her feet perfectly. After taking a look at them, Lin Zhengrong asked her if she liked them.

"White looks good." Jiang Qiuyue said.

"Would you like to try the red one too?" Lin Zhengrong said if he liked them, he would buy both pairs.

Jiang Qiuyue said no, "I change my style every year. If I buy too many, they will get damaged if I don't wear them. I'll just buy white ones."

When the salesperson heard Lin Zhengrong say that he wanted both pairs, her eyes froze. It was the first time she had seen such a generous man. He was tall and energetic, and it was obvious that he was a soldier. Then she looked at the woman. Her skin was white with rosy complexion, her eyebrows were delicate and beautiful, and she looked to be in her twenties.

Humph, old man and young wife, no wonder he dotes on her so much, she is not jealous at all.

"Leather shoes cannot be exposed to the sun, be careful." After wrapping the shoes with paper, the salesperson couldn't help but glance at Lin Zhengrong and asked, "Are you newlyweds?"

"Newly married?" Jiang Qiuyue smiled, "No, why do you ask?"

"You look quite young, and your man...well, I wish you happiness." The salesperson said and turned away.

Jiang Qiuyue covered her mouth and laughed, then turned to look at Lin Zhengrong and jokingly touched Lin Zhengrong's wind-bathed and sunburned skin, "See, I usually told you to be careful, but you didn't listen to me. In a few years, people will mistake you for my dad."

Lin Zhengrong touched his face and found it was indeed a bit rough. His face was exposed to the wind and sun, so it was naturally not as delicate as Jiang Qiuyue's. Seeing that Wu Shuangshuang was trying to hold back a smile, he could only say politely, "It's time to go home."

On their way home, Lin Zhengrong had a stern face. When they arrived at the family compound, someone noticed that Jiang Qiuyue's lips had become even redder, and immediately praised her, "Qiuyue, why do you look so good today? You look like a bride?"

"I bought a lipstick. It looks good, doesn't it, sister?" Jiang Qiuyue asked with a smile.

"It looks good, really good. Everything you paint looks good."

When passing by Chen Guowei's house, Wang Fang also saw Jiang Qiuyue and the others. "Yo Qiuyue, how come you are getting more and more handsome? People who know you think you are sending your children to school, but people who don't know you think you are having a love affair with Zhengrong. You look much better, did you eat something?"

She also wanted to make it up to her husband Chen Guowei and show him that she could be so pretty.

"It's not about what I ate, I bought a lipstick. Would you like to try it, sister-in-law?" Jiang Qiuyue had already taken out the lipstick.

Wang Fang waved her hands and said no, but she leaned over honestly, "Since you let me try, then I'll try it."

Jiang Qiuyue put lipstick on Wang Fang's face. "Pinch it. Yes, that's it. Then tap it a few times with your finger. OK, go home and see if you look much better."

Wang Fang ran back home and saw her lips were red in the mirror. She said "Oh my god" and ran out with a smile, "No, I look like an old witch after putting this on. Where did you buy it?"

"I bought it at a department store." Jiang Qiuyue said, "It doesn't look like an old witch at all. It's pretty. But this color is a little too bright for you. You're more suitable for a darker color."

“Are there other colors?”

"Yes, there are three kinds." Jiang Qiuyue thought about it. In fact, making lipstick is not difficult. She saw someone making it in a short video before. It will be open to the public soon. It will not be controlled like in the past few years. When there is a chance, she will try to make it herself. "If my sister-in-law likes it, she can buy it. It can not only be used for lips, but also as blush."

Jiang Qiuyue was sweating while talking. "I'm going home first. If you have anything you want to ask, come back and find me."

Looking at Jiang Qiuyue's back, Wang Fang sighed, "Qiuyue is the one who knows how to enjoy life. That's great."

Jiang Qiuyue separated from Wu Shuangshuang at the door of her house. Now that the children were no longer at home, Jiang Qiuyue didn't want to cook today, so she asked Lin Zhengrong to steam two sweet potatoes as a casual meal.

As a result, Lin Zhengrong pulled her into the room and held her on his lap. "What are you doing? It's not dark yet. Aren't you hungry?"

"Hungry, I'm very hungry." Lin Zhengrong looked at Jiang Qiuyue's lips. He had been thinking all the way, "Put on some more lipstick."

Seeing that Jiang Qiuyue didn't move, he took the initiative to help Jiang Qiuyue put on lipstick, but he was not very skilled and applied it to the edge of her lips.

Jiang Qiuyue was so hungry that she just wanted to eat. She pushed Lin Zhengrong and said, "Brother, please, let's eat first... wuwu..."

Before she could finish her words, Lin Zhengrong kissed her.

"Okay, I licked the ones that were applied outside." Lin Zhengrong still didn't let go. "Were you smiling happily in the department store?"

At this point, Jiang Qiuyue realized the danger and hurried over to act coquettishly, "No, I'm just happy that people compliment me on my youth. Oh, you can't be so petty, are you angry?"

"Whether I'm angry or not depends on how you behave." Lin Zhengrong's lips were also red. He licked his lips, but he didn't expect that the lipstick had a smell.

Jiang Qiuyue tried to delay, "How about we eat first?"

"Okay, but you have to let me eat first." Lin Zhengrong said, "I have to prove that I, an old man, am still very useful. I can't let you, a young wife, be dissatisfied."

"I'm not dissatisfied at all. I'm very satisfied, okay?"

Knowing that he couldn't escape today, Jiang Qiuyue took the initiative to kiss him. Lin Zhengrong put his hands on the bed and let Jiang Qiuyue express herself.

That night, Jiang Qiuyue didn't even get to eat the hot sweet potatoes. She was so tired that she fell asleep.

This man is nice, but he is too tiring.

When she woke up the next day, there was hot soy milk and buns on the bedside. After Jiang Qiuyue got up and ate her fill, she rubbed her waist and went to the living room, where Wu Shuangshuang arrived.

Wu Shuangshuang was not surprised by this. She had something to ask Jiang Qiuyue today, but seeing Jiang Qiuyue's expression, she was embarrassed again.

"If you have something to say, just tell me. There is nothing we can't talk about." Jiang Qiuyue saw Wu Shuangshuang open her mouth but swallowed it back, "Do you want me to help take care of the child?"

Taking care of children is a piece of cake. The three little girls have grown up. Although they are prone to quarreling, they are still obedient.

"No, it was my sister-in-law who sent a telegram saying that my mother broke her leg going up the mountain." Wu Shuangshuang got angry when she talked about this.

A few days ago, she did as Jiang Qiuyue said and coaxed her mother to come here after three years. As a result, her two sisters-in-law were not content and insisted that they were too busy at home to take care of the family. They also said that people in the village were gossiping about them. They refused to live in their son's home and insisted on living in their daughter's home, making it impossible for them to stay in the village.

At that time, Wu Shuangshuang wanted to rush back to quarrel, but was stopped by her mother. The old lady didn't want to see her son and daughter quarreling, so she said she would go back to take a look and take turns living there in the future, but she never came back. When Wu Shuangshuang went home, her mother stopped her from quarreling, so she had to let the old lady do what she wanted.

"If you need someone to do the work, just call her back. Now that she's injured, I'm asking you to go and pick her up, right?" Jiang Qiuyue was about to curse. Wu Shuangshuang's mother was very hardworking and a good person, but her personality was not as aggressive as Wu Shuangshuang's.

She has always been curious: how could such a patient person give birth to a hottie like Wu Shuangshuang?

"You're right, that's it." Wu Shuangshuang said as she got angry. "At first they insisted on sending my mother back, saying that the people in the village were gossiping about her and that they were not good people. Now they're sending me a telegram saying that my mother can't get out of bed and asking me to go back quickly. Isn't this asking me to serve her?"

"If she wasn't my biological mother, I really wouldn't bother with her. Who made this old lady treat me well? I have no choice but to go back."

But it takes ten days or half a month to go back to my hometown. I can take one or two days off, but not so many days.

Jiang Qiuyue understood. Wu Shuangshuang didn't have many friends, and she was the one with the least time. "Don't worry, go home. I'll help you with the work. Come back after you've dealt with the matter. But you'd better not endure it this time. Bring your mother over. Your brother and sister-in-law want to save their reputation. How can such a cheap thing happen in the world?"

It is impossible for me to work, but I can help my friends. Jiang Qiuyue has two good sisters in her community, and she often leaves her children at Wu Shuangshuang's home and asks Wu Shuangshuang to help take care of them.

If we help each other, our lives will be better.

"I..." Wu Shuangshuang was so moved that she started crying, "I know you don't like going to work, I'm so embarrassed. I will come back as soon as possible. This time, no matter what, I will take my mother here to recuperate. Don't expect me to be a mother in my hometown!"

"Yeah, otherwise you'd be so pissed off if your mother was allowed to stay and continue working after she recovered." Jiang Qiuyue was furious at the thought, "You've already saved face for your two brothers, but they are shameless. This time when you go back, you'd better invite the elders in your family, the captain, and others to come over and let them judge. If things get out of hand, they will be completely embarrassed, so there's no need for them to keep your mother for the sake of face."

"As for the old lady, let her be sad for two days. Otherwise, she will be tortured for the rest of her life if she stays there."

"That's what I think. I've already given in twice, and I won't tolerate it again this time."

Wu Shuangshuang clenched his fists. "I'm really sorry for this. Thank you for helping me cover for a few days. When I come back, I'll do the housework for you for a month."

Jiang Qiuyue said no, "It doesn't matter who we are, I'm free anyway, you can't find a better helper than me. Go buy the tickets quickly, you must be anxious now, don't delay too long."

She patted Wu Shuangshuang's arm to comfort her.

After being away from the workplace for so many years, Jiang Qiuyue felt a little novel when thinking about going back to work.

After sending Wu Shuangshuang away, Jiang Qiuyue found Erya and the others and asked them to come to her house for dinner in the future. "Your mother has gone back to her hometown to visit your grandmother. Remember to come to your aunt's house for dinner in the next few days. Your aunt will go to work for your mother. Wash the dishes after dinner and don't quarrel. Do you hear me?"

When the youngest girl, Si Ya, heard that her mother had passed away, she was the most reluctant and her eyes immediately became wet. "Aunt Jiang, when will my mother be back?"

"It will take at least a week, dear girls, don't cry, your mother is not going to come back. Listen to auntie, be good these days, and don't steal other people's things." Jiang Qiuyue touched the faces of the three little girls, "Okay, come home with me, auntie will cook noodles for you at noon."

Jiang Qiuyue still felt very sour. She had eggs at home, so she cooked a soup with eggs and seaweed, and made dry noodles with noodles. She also had soybean paste given by Wu Shuangshuang, so she fried the soybean paste with lard and chili peppers for a while, added diced meat and chopped green onions, and it was especially fragrant when mixed with noodles.

After she cooked the noodles, she let the girls help themselves to the noodles and said, "Eat something simple today. I will stew braised pork for you tomorrow."

When they heard that there was braised pork to eat, the three little girls forgot about their mother going back to the countryside and ate with their mouths full.

Jiang Qiuyue stewed braised pork in the evening, but she saved it for tomorrow's meal. Stewing meat takes time, and she had to go to work tomorrow, so she stewed it in advance.

Fortunately, Wu Shuangshuang's job was not too tiring. He just helped cut and serve vegetables. Fang Xia and another chef were in charge of the cooking.

Actually, Fang Xia is quite capable. She started out as a sweeper, then became an apprentice to learn cooking skills, and is now a chef. Her salary has increased and she has gained some face.

However, I heard from Fang Xia and Huang Yu's neighbors that the two quarreled every day, and Huang Yu stayed in the army for 20 days a month and didn't come back. They still don't have children, and no one knows why.

Wu Shuangshuang had worked in the cafeteria for several years and had never heard of this gossip. Jiang Qiuyue just had this thought in her mind, and she didn't care about Fang Xia's affairs.

When Lin Zhengrong came back in the evening, Jiang Qiuyue specifically mentioned that she was going to work, "Behave yourself, Sister Shuangshuang has already left, and I can't stay out of bed tomorrow."

Lin Zhengrong rested one hand on Jiang Qiuyue's head and the other hand on her arm. "How long will it take her to be gone?"

"I don't know, maybe at least a week." Jiang Qiuyue had just finished speaking when she heard Lin Zhengrong sigh, "What's wrong? Don't you want me to help?"

"Where?"

Lin Zhengrong moved forward and pressed himself against her. "She's been gone for so long, you can't leave me hungry, right?"

In the darkness, Jiang Qiuyue hammered Lin Zhengrong's arm, "What a fool you are! Why are you thinking about that?"

"You are my lover, I want to be affectionate with you, is there anything wrong with that?" Lin Zhengrong said with grievance, "Why don't you talk?"

I finally waited until the kids were all gone, only to have this incident happen.

"I know. There are also shift breaks in the cafeteria. It's not like we have to go to work every day." Jiang Qiuyue turned around and lay down face to face with Lin Zhengrong. "Go to sleep. I have to go to work tomorrow."

Lin Zhengrong hummed, then said, "You are not allowed to wear lipstick when you go to work tomorrow."

"Stop talking nonsense and go to sleep!" Jiang Qiuyue had just pushed Lin Zhengrong away when she was hugged in his arms. Fortunately, Lin Zhengrong did not do anything else, and the two of them slept until dawn.

But when Jiang Qiuyue got up and cleaned up, she found that her lipstick was missing. She knew without thinking that it was Lin Zhengrong who took it away. "How petty!"

There was no choice, Jiang Qiuyue went to the cafeteria after combing her hair. When she met neighbors on the way, they were all surprised that she got up so early today. When they learned that she was going to work for Wu Shuangshuang, someone immediately asked her if she wanted to be the chef.

"No need for that. Sister Shuangshuang only cooks occasionally, and her main job is to serve the dishes." Jiang Qiuyue said.

"That's such a pity. If you're in charge of cooking, I won't cook for the next few days. I'll eat in the cafeteria. Qiuyue, talk to the cafeteria manager and ask him to let you cook for two days?"

Jiang Qiuyue thought to herself that she didn't want to, but she still smiled, "Positions are fixed, it's not easy to change them. I won't talk about it anymore, I'm going to work first."

She rode her bike, her braided hair swung behind her, leaving behind a beautiful back.
