After dinner, Xiaobai took the initiative to wash the dishes.
"Sister-in-law, can I buy cotton directly from you? I'll pay you at the black market price."
"Okay, no problem."
"How many do you need?"
"Ten pounds?"
Xiaobai spoke uncertainly.
"Wait a minute, I'll install it for you."
There was no scale at home, but there was a bag that had held ten kilograms of cotton before, and she filled that bag and carried it out. I don't know how much it weighed, but it was definitely more than ten kilograms.
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
Xiaobai was very happy looking at the snow-white balls of cotton in front of him. He thought his wife must be happy.
"Wait, there's something else I want to give you."
She went back to the room and took out the wedding gift she had prepared for Xiaobai.
"This is a little gift from your brother Yan and I. I wish you a happy wedding."
"This...Sister-in-law, this is too expensive. I can't accept it."
Xiaobai put down the cotton and refused to take it.
He had also gone to the department store to look at it before, but wanted to buy it but couldn't bear to do so. A blanket is much more valuable than ten kilograms of cotton.
"Take it. Your sister-in-law picked it out especially for you."
"You call us brother and sister-in-law, and we treat you as our own brother. You are getting married, so it is not too much for us as your brother and sister-in-law to prepare something for you."
Xiaobai was so moved. He was an orphan since he was a child, without a father or a mother, and grew up eating at other people's homes. The clothes he wore before were all discarded clothes, patched on patch.
Life became better after I joined the army.
He follows the boss not only because he is a leader, but also because of his ability.
Calling him brother is a sign of respect for him, but I never dared to expect that he would really treat me as a younger brother.
"Come on, man, you're getting married soon, don't cry."
Yan Ziyuan stuffed cotton and a blanket into his arms, drove Xiaobai, who was moved to tears, out of the house, and closed the door.
He didn't leave after dinner, wasting the time he and Xiaoyu had together.
"Boss, the money for the cotton hasn't been paid yet!"
Xiaobai, who was standing outside the door, was kicked out before he could completely wipe away his tears of emotion.
Alas...the feeling of being touched by the boss comes quickly and goes away quickly.
After hearing this, Yan Ziyuan still opened the door.
The money belongs to his wife, he can't refuse it.
..........
Xiaobai's wife was marrying far away, a distance of several hundred kilometers, so it was impossible for her to go back and forth to pick her up on the same day. Therefore, she and her grandmother stayed in the military guesthouse for the first two days.
"Mrs. Liu, are you okay?"
Song Fuyu took on the job of putting on makeup and styling the bride, and got up at five in the morning. When Liu Aihua found out, she wanted to go with her and help her out.
"Okay, right away."
Liu Aihua came out of her house, followed by two little followers. They both looked sleepy and their eyes could hardly be opened.
"It's so early, Xiaozheng and Tiantian, why don't you sleep a little longer?"
"These two little brats heard me say last night that they wanted to watch you put on makeup for the bride, and they insisted that I wake them up this morning. Look at them now, they won't go back to sleep even if I ask them to."
"Mom, I'm awake."
Xiaozheng tried hard to open his eyes to prove that he was awake.
"Okay, follow me when you wake up. We have to hurry over and can't keep the bride waiting for too long."
The four of them arrived at the guesthouse, and Yi Shanshan's grandmother was waiting downstairs.
"Congratulations, Grandma Yi."
"Congratulations, thank you for coming here so early to help."
Grandma Yi led them to the room where Yi Shanshan lived. The bride in the room had already changed into the wedding dress she was going to wear today.
"Fu Yu, this dress is made by you, right? It looks really good on Shan Shan."
"Yes."
"Xiaobai described Shanshan's characteristics to me and told me some of the things Shanshan likes. He gave me a lot of suggestions on this outfit."
Yi Shanshan was deeply moved when she heard Xiaobai's sincerity.
"Sister-in-law, thank you for your help."
"Have you had breakfast? Here are biscuits and buns."
"I won't eat for now. I won't be polite to you when I get hungry later."
Song Fuyu asked her to sit on the chair and carefully looked at her facial features.
Yi Shanshan has good facial features, but her skin is a little dry and dark due to years of exposure to the sun.
"Is there any hot water? Please wipe your face again. Your skin is a little dry. I'll make you a facial mask."
"Yes, wait a moment, I'll wipe it right away."
Song Fuyu placed all the tools he brought on the table. After that, he felt like a makeup artist.
She now has a lot of cosmetics and other things, all bought for her by Yan Ziyuan.
In addition, she also made some headwear to match today's wedding dress.
"Fu Yu, are these all yours?"
Liu Aihua was a little amazed when she saw so many things on the table.
When they were walking together just now, she thought that Fu Yu was holding a wedding gift for the bride.
“Isn’t it very professional?”
"It's not just professionalism. Those makeup artists who specialize in brides may not have as many things as you do."
While Yi Shanshan was wiping her face, Song Fuyu put some facial mask powder in a small bowl, added some skin care water and rose essential oil bought from the department store, and mixed them evenly.
"Shanshan, lie on the bed with your head facing me."
After she lay down, Song Fuyu quickly applied the prepared facial mask on her face.
"Did you do this yourself?"
"Yes."
"Oh my god, how much stuff is in your head?"
"I just like reading and tinkering."
She learned the recipe for the homemade facial mask from a blogger on a video website when she was bored. It uses some daily items, adds some medicinal herbs, and grinds them into powder.
"Will this make my face more supple?"
"Yes, this is for Shanshan, it has moisturizing effect."
"In addition to moisturizing, they also formulated a whitening product, but you have to keep applying it for a long time. Just one or two times won't have much effect."
When Liu Aihua heard that it could whiten skin, she immediately became interested.
"Is there any hope for my skin?"
"I can't guarantee that. If you're interested, I'll write down the recipe for you and you can go home and try it out yourself."
“OK!”
"I promise not to tell anyone the contents of the recipe."
"It doesn't matter. It's all written in the book. It's not my own invention. Besides, I don't do this business."
Homemade facial masks have no preservatives and are prepared for immediate use. She just makes them for fun.
Sometimes she would even use the excuse of self-control to take out high-end skin care products from the space and use them in front of Ziyuan.
He had no doubts at all, he would only lament the number of types of things he had to apply every day. As for what they were applied on, he had no idea and couldn't remember even if you told him.
"Aunt Yan, can I apply some too? Just a little bit will do."
Tiantian and Xiaozheng, a brother and sister, looked at her expectantly. In their eyes, this was as fun as the sand on the other side of the tube building.
"Don't disturb your Aunt Yan, she's busy. When mom learns how to do it, she'll go home and apply it on you."
"Xiao Zheng, this is something a girl would do. You don't have to be so delicate since you're a boy."
Before the brother and sister could protest, Song Fuyu took out the lipstick and put a little bit of it on each of their eyebrows.
"It's so beautiful. You two are Uncle Xiaobai and Aunt Yi's favorite children today."
"I'll go over and make the wedding bed for them later. I wish them a baby soon."
"good!"
"I will definitely roll a lot, so there will be a lot of children!"
