Chapter 7: Ideas for Making Rouge
Shen Yuefu hugged Liang Huanxue and suddenly remembered that her son was involved in this matter. She turned around to look for Liang Weijiang.
Liang Weijiang hurriedly hid behind Liang Yuanwang, but Liang Yuanwang could not help him.
As soon as Liang Yuanwang met Shen Yuefu's eyes, he surrendered.
Liang Yuanwang directly pulled Liang Weijiang out from behind him, "Wife, our son is here!"
Liang Weijiang's expression and eyes showed that Liang Yuanwang was an unreliable father who directly betrayed him.
Liang Huanxue looked at Liang Weijiang with sympathy, and then silently prayed for her elder brother in her heart.
Shen Yuefu started to nag Liang Weijiang whenever she caught him, but she didn't say anything else. She basically just said that as a brother, he was incompetent.
After waiting for Shen Yuefu to finish teaching, Liang Weijiang felt relieved. He was already staring ahead with a dull look. Liang Huanxue was holding Chen Weijiang's little hand.
"Brother, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"
Liang Weijiang immediately slapped Liang Huanxue's chubby little hand, "Don't try that on me, Xue'er, this time I was scolded like this by our parents, it was all because of you."
Liang Huanxue admitted her mistake with a very good attitude, and nodded her head, "Yes, yes, this time, big brother did it all for me, I will remember your kindness."
Liang Weijiang didn't mean that. "From now on, you can only recognize me as your elder brother, and you can't recognize anyone else."
Liang Huanxue never thought that her brother had such thoughts in his heart, but seeing that her brother had done all these things for her, Liang Huanxue agreed.
This made Liang Weijiang very happy. He could bear it even if his mother beat him up.
Liang Yuanwang saw that the third grandfather had just eaten a snack at the market and then hurried back. He didn't even have time to eat.
After Shen Yuefu heated up the meal for Grandpa, Liang Huanxue began to wolf down the egg custard in her bowl. This time she was really tired. After running such a long distance, her little feet still hurt badly.
While biting a soft steamed bun, Liang Yuanwang told Shen Yuefu about the business plan he had come up with today. Shen Yuefu was a farm girl, how could she understand these things.
"Husband, I always feel that this is a bit unreliable. We can't find the materials for making rouge anywhere else." Shen Yuefu frowned. She really felt that this could not be done.
Liang Yuanwang had never understood these women's things, so he thought they were very simple. What's more, no one was involved in these things. If his family members went to the county town to set up a stall to sell food, they could do so, but they would make little money.
Liang Yuanwang subconsciously felt that if he did this, he would definitely be able to make money.
"The raw materials should not be difficult to find. We are surrounded by forests and mountains, so we should be able to find raw materials." Liang Yuanwang did not want to give up this business.
Liang Huanxue agreed very much. Noticing that Shen Yuefu was still frowning and looking unhappy, she advised her intentionally or unintentionally, "Mother, what is rouge? Is it something that can make you prettier? My father and I saw many beautiful girls at the market."
Shen Yuefu's mind was now filled with the matter of making rouge, and she had no intention of chatting with Liang Huanxue. When she heard Liang Huanxue's words, she nodded perfunctorily, "Really? There are so many beautiful girls."
Liang Huanxue continued to talk to herself, "A lot! The clothes they wear are also very exquisite, but they smell bad, and it makes my nose itchy."
After hearing this, Shen Yuefu focused her attention on Liang Huanxue, "It's an unpleasant smell of powder..."
Shen Yuefu's eyes lit up. There were many newly blooming flowers in the woods and on the mountains. These flowers would be perfect for making rouge.
"Wife, you try this first."
When Shen Yuefu heard Liang Yuanwang say this, she easily accepted it. It was already very late this time, and if she wanted to do something, she would have to do it tomorrow.
"Then wait till tomorrow, I'll go, just think of it as going to the back hills to relax. We haven't been out of the house for a long time to see the hustle and bustle."
Liang Yuanwang was just asking for it, "Why not? As long as my wife is happy, don't forget to bring the basket before you go out."
Shen Yuefu pouted and led the full Liang Huanxue into the house, "You'd better not go back to sleep in the house tonight. I think this acacia tree in our yard is growing well, so you can stay here and use it as your nest."
Liang Huanxue covered her mouth and laughed secretly. This was the first time her father slept outside.
"Wife, you are joking again. If I don't follow you, will I be able to fall asleep outside?" Liang Yuanwang didn't want to suffer outside, so he followed Shen Yuefu into the house shamelessly.
Shen Yuefu was just joking with Liang Yuanwang, how could she really leave Liang Yuanwang out?
Early the next morning, Shen Yuefu packed her baskets and went to the back mountain to pick flowers.
He just happened to meet his second uncle Liang Yuanshan's family and his cousin's family. Although they didn't get along well with each other, when he learned that Shen Yuefu was going to the back mountain to pick flowers, his sister-in-law Liu Chunhua and his cousin's wife Nian Huayue also clamored to go together.
When the two were in a stalemate, Mrs. Liang said sharply, "Let's go together. What's the matter? Just consider it as a favor."
Shen Yuefu didn't argue with them. She thought it was a good idea. After all, the mountain behind was quite dangerous and who knows what kind of wild beasts they might encounter, so she agreed.
"Yes, Xue'er, come here quickly. Auntie will hold you and we will go up the mountain together." Nian Huayue waved at Liang Huanxue and said.
Liang Huanxue walked up to Nian Huayue step by step with her calves, "Aunt, it's better for Xue'er to walk by herself. Climbing the mountain is strenuous work, so you'd better not tire yourself out."
Nian Huayue was so pleased with Liang Huanxue's sensible appearance that he hugged her and kissed her several times. Then he said to Shen Yuefu, "This little girl is so lovable. Look at the way she speaks, she is so lovable."
With Xue'er joining in, the whole journey was filled with laughter and joy. Liang Huanxue acted so cute and naughty that everyone forgot the time. As they chatted, they arrived at the back mountain.
Shen Yuefu was foresighted and put some water bags and food in her basket, so that when the family reached the back mountain, they would not be thirsty and unable to drink water, or hungry and unable to find food.
Nian Huayue gulped down several mouthfuls of wine, then wiped her mouth and said, "Why did you want to come to the back mountain to pick flowers today? I don't usually see you want to go out."
"Today, the sun is shining brightly, so I thought of picking some flowers in the back mountain and taking them back to make something." Shen Yuefu explained to Nian Huayue.
When Nian Huayue heard this, she realized that these flowers were useful, so she didn't bother to ask anything else. "So what kind of flowers do we need to pick?"
Shen Yuefu held Xue'er's hand and walked forward. "Of course, the more gorgeous the petals, the better. This is just a sudden idea. If my sister-in-law can't find any, you can find some flowers with better fragrance."
