She believed that the first person Huang Meiling would want to see upon her return would be Song Zhaodi.
"But……"
Shu Ying put both hands on her shoulders and pushed her into her room, saying, "There's no 'but' about it. The most important thing now is for you to change into your prettiest dress. Your mother-in-law will be here in about half an hour, and our whole family will go to pick her up and take her home."
Moved by Shu Ying's words, Song Zhaodi pondered for a long time and prepared herself mentally for half a day before taking out a brand new jacket from the wardrobe and putting it on.
"This jacket is made from the fabric you got for me a few days ago. It's a new garment I made myself, and I haven't worn it yet this year."
Song Zhaodi's face showed a rare hint of girlishness as she clumsily tried to braid two long braids, but her hair was rather stiff and a bit short, so it didn't look as good as Shu Ying's.
Shu Ying brought over a chair, sat in front of the mirror, and used a comb to braid her hair into the most fashionable style in the capital at the moment.
Her hair, which was just past her shoulders, was parted in two. Shu Ying found a red silk scarf and braided it into her hair. Finally, she chose a pair of blue hair clips and put them in her hair, which perfectly matched her blue jacket.
"Look how much prettier you look now that you're dressed up like this? I've always said you're very beautiful. Your skin is so fair, you don't need to do anything special to take care of it."
Since arriving in the capital, Shu Ying has replaced all the drinking water and bath water in her home with Lingquan water. Song Zhaodi's daily work is mostly indoors, so she doesn't have to be exposed to wind and sun, and her skin has improved a lot during this time.
Shu Ying applied the face cream to Song Zhaodi's face. "This is the most natural base makeup. When the two of us walk together, who can tell who is the older sister and who is the younger sister?"
It was clear that Song Zhaodi was nervous, and Shu Ying was trying to ease her anxiety.
She was no longer the country girl who ran away from the mountains; with just a little makeup, she looked like a completely different person in the mirror.
Song Zhaodi touched her newly made clothes with one hand. Looking at her face in the mirror, she felt that everything was slowly getting better since she met Shu Ying.
"In the end, you are younger and prettier. No one dislikes a girl who is as beautiful as a flower."
Song Zhaodi smiled broadly, and her nervousness eased considerably.
Actually, she was naturally beautiful, with big, almond-shaped eyes. If she hadn't worked in the fields all these years, her skin would probably be even fairer.
Song Zhaodi was already quite tall, but her hair was slightly yellowish, possibly due to malnutrition. After coming to the capital, her skin and hair quality improved to varying degrees.
At first, she thought it was just the environment of a big city that nurtured her, but now she realizes that it was clearly Shu Ying's meticulous care.
When the two of them came out of the house, Yangyang and Yueyue were already asleep. Xie Zhiyan made sure to come out of the children's room at the right time.
"The children have just fallen asleep. I'll have someone come over to help look after them in a bit. Shall we head to the station now?"
Shu Ying hesitated slightly, "I'll ask Qingqing to come and help watch the child on my way. I think I can be back in half an hour. It won't take much time in total. It won't be a problem for her to come."
