Shen Qingqing changed into a skirt, with her beautiful black hair draped behind her. She was originally fair-skinned, and in the red skirt, the skin exposed was so white that it was blinding.
Mrs. Wang took Shen Qingqing and turned around a few times. She liked her more and more and smiled happily, "Oh, come and have a look. Comrade Shen is so beautiful today, just like the one in the picture. Deputy Commander Zhou is so lucky."
Shen Qingqing lowered her head in embarrassment. In her previous life, Lu Yunshan, the man she married, didn't care about her at all, let alone make a red dress for her.
Cloth was in short supply these days, and families with better conditions would just buy a piece of red cloth to make a top to wear on the wedding day. Few people would wear a skirt.
Not to mention wearing a red skirt. This skirt was made with great care, and for a moment, the women present were very envious of Shen Qingqing.
Sister Wang pulled her to sit in front of the dressing mirror. Standing at the door was an energetic old lady. Shen Qingqing was puzzled, "Sister-in-law, who is this?"
"This is the most famous old lady in our military region. Her sons are all excellent soldiers. The old lady herself is also capable. She was a female soldier who participated in the Red Army. I heard that Deputy Commander Zhou is getting married, so I came here to bring you good luck." As she spoke, Wang's wife suddenly lowered her voice and smiled mischievously, "When you get married, only the old lady here will be happy."
Shen Qingqing was puzzled, and Wang Saozi stroked her soft hair and said, "It's normal that you don't know because you've never been married. Before we girls get married, we have to find someone to open our faces if we can. After the face is opened, you are the new bride."
As she spoke, she sighed again, "But you have fair skin and less hair on your face, so it doesn't make much difference. But sister-in-law thinks that you have been wronged by coming to this unfamiliar place alone. You should have what other girls have."
Hearing this, Shen Qingqing was moved. Since her mother passed away, she seemed to have never felt the love from a female elder again. She hugged Mrs. Wang gently, expressing her gratitude from the bottom of her heart for everything she had done for her during this period of time.
"Sister-in-law, thank you." Sister Wang stroked her back with her big, broad hands, and for a moment her eyes even turned slightly red.
"Why thank you? Our two families live so close to each other. We will spend a lot of time together in the future. Deputy Commander Zhou is a wise man, and I believe he is also a wise husband. I have seen everything he has done for you, and I hope that you two will live a wise life in the future."
Shen Qingqing choked up and nodded, "Sister-in-law, I will."
She believed that she would be happy in this life. She met Zhou Yuanzheng who truly cared about her, and met Sister Wang who took care of her like a real sister. She was already very content.
She likes her current life more than her previous life.
The old lady stood at the door, her silver hair neatly tied behind her head, wearing a green coat. She looked very energetic, and when she didn't smile, she gave off a sense of oppression that made her look intimidating without even showing her anger.
Seeing her come in, Wang Saozi hurriedly wiped the moisture from her eyes and said uninterestedly, "Oh, look at me, I'm so grown up now. Come on, Granny Li is here. Let's hurry up and don't waste time."
To Shen Qingqing's surprise, Granny Li was not as old-fashioned and serious as she looked. Instead, she stroked Shen Qingqing's hair lovingly and praised her, "You are really as young as a flower. Really, your hair is also beautiful. Since that's not the case, how about Granny combing your hair into a bun for you?"
Shen Qingqing nodded obediently, letting the old lady's fingers fly around her head. Although Granny Li was old, her fingers were flexible and her eyes were bright. In less than ten minutes, she had neatly tied Shen Qingqing's beautiful long hair behind her head.
Granny Li looked at Shen Qingqing admiringly, took out two red flowers from the box and pinned them next to her bun, "What a naughty little girl! We are military wives, and we have to endure more hardships and wait for more people than others.
