Both the host and the guests enjoyed the meal very much. Knowing that Fan Hua would perform at the Lantern Festival Gala in the afternoon, everyone took the initiative to help clean up the leftovers after the meal.
There is strength in numbers, and the whole house was cleaned up in no time.
Everyone then said goodbye and left, agreeing to meet again after school started in a few days.
After everyone left, Fan Hua took a short rest and began to prepare her makeup for the afternoon performance.
She first changed into the small military uniform that Zhao Yilu had helped her find, and put insoles she had made herself in her shoes. Although she was a little too thin, she was about 1.7 meters tall, which was not too short.
After getting her outfit ready, she began to put on makeup. Fan Hua first drew sword-like eyebrows for herself, and then used contouring to make her facial features look colder and harder. She was good at painting and had a good grasp of shadows and highlights. After this whole process, she was completely transformed into a handsome and thin soldier.
Finally, Fan Hua braided her hair and hid it in the green military cap. If you didn’t look closely, you really couldn’t tell that this was a girl!
Zhao Yilu watched Fan Hua "transform into a living person" in front of him, and he was filled with admiration for his wife!
Even the person next to him is unrecognizable unless you look closely!
Fan Hua lowered her voice and asked in a rough voice, "Captain Zhao, do you think I'm handsome?"
Zhao Yilu really had no way to deal with this eccentric wife, so he smiled and said, "So handsome! So handsome that I feel like I married a brother!"
Fan Hua laughed loudly, walked up to Zhao Yilu and frivolously lifted his chin with her finger, and said in a rough voice, "Captain Zhao, let your brother kiss you!"
Zhao Yilu raised his hand and directly grabbed the back of Fan Hua's head, turning the passive position into active, and kissed her lips domineeringly, passionately and tenderly.
The fresh breath instantly filled Fan Hua's lips and tongue, and she couldn't help but feel weak all over.
Fan Hua unconsciously climbed onto Zhao Yilu's neck with both hands, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and she was completely immersed in this kiss...
As the two were kissing passionately, Zhao Xiaoyan's voice came from the yard: "Sister Fan, Sister Fan, are you ready?"
Fan Hua quickly jumped off Zhao Yilu and threw him a pillow to cover himself. Then he put on his hat, straightened his clothes, and hurried out to meet Zhao Xiaoyan.
"Sister Zhao, I'm almost done packing!"
Zhao Xiaoyan was stunned when she saw her dressed like this. If it wasn't Fan Hua's voice, she really wouldn't have recognized it and would have thought it was some soldier in the army!
She circled around Fan Hua twice and couldn't help but take off her hat to make sure she had long hair.
After confirming it, he said in shock: "Sister Fan, your makeup is too similar! You have turned directly from a woman into a man!"
Fan Hua smiled and saw that Zhao Xiaoyan had specially put on her newly bought maroon tweed coat today and had also braided a pigtail that hung down to one side. It was obvious that she had dressed up carefully, but the effect was very average.
So Fan Hua said, "Sister Zhao, let me put some makeup on you, I guarantee you'll look even better!"
If it were in the past, Zhao Xiaoyan would definitely not agree, after all, she has always had a bad relationship with Fan Hua, but today she was really shocked by Fan Hua's makeup skills, and was looking forward to seeing what Fan Hua would make her look like, so she nodded immediately.
"Okay, then I'll let you transform me again!"
When the two entered the house, Zhao Yilu had already hidden in the kitchen. There were really some things that were beyond his control. He could only hide in the kitchen to avoid embarrassment.
Fan Hua asked Zhao Xiaoyan to sit in front of the mirror and changed her hairstyle first.
Today they were going to play a young couple who had just been married for a year. In order to make Zhao Xiaoyan more in line with the identity of a young wife in her twenties, Fan Hua changed her single pigtail into a double pigtail and gave her a very youthful and energetic makeup. After all, Zhao Xiaoyan looked at least seven or eight years younger than before.
Zhao Xiaoyan looked at herself in the mirror. She was even more beautiful than when she first got married. She couldn't help but feel in a good mood. She no longer spoke so harshly, but she still did not forget to praise herself.
"Sister Fan, your makeup skills are really good! I used to be so pretty, but after I had a baby, I didn't have the energy to dress up anymore, and gradually I became less pretty than before!"
Seeing that Zhao Xiaoyan rarely praised her, Fan Hua packed up her makeup and said, "Let's go find Sister Zhang and help her put on some makeup so that all the wives of the soldiers in our battalion can dazzle everyone!"
In addition to being jealous and mean, Zhao Xiaoyan was also extremely competitive. When she heard what Fan Hua said, she immediately agreed. No matter how jealous she was of Fan Hua, she knew that they were in the same group today, so she also hoped that the wives of the soldiers in their battalion could shine at the Lantern Festival party.
The two of them carried the green locomotive that Fan Hua had specially painted on a thin wooden board, as well as the rag dolls that the Yuanxiao brothers and sisters gave every year as props, and walked towards Zhang Jihong's house.
Everyone they met along the way couldn't help but look back at them frequently.
When Zhang Jihong came out of the room, "Xiaoyan is here, why didn't you ask Sister Fan to come with you!"
Zhao Xiaoyan burst out laughing, "Mrs. Zhang, look at who's next to me?"
Zhang Jihong looked at her carefully for a moment, then asked in shock, "Could this be Miss Fan?"
Fan Hua smiled and asked, "Mrs. Zhang, don't you recognize me?"
Zhang Jihong was able to confirm that the soldier was indeed Fan Hua! She thought that Zhao Xiaoyan had hired him to help carry the props!
"You...ah...really, if you don't speak, I won't even recognize you!"
Fan Hua and Zhao Xiaoyan followed Zhang Jihong into the house with a smile. Zhao Xiaoyan immediately pushed Zhang Jihong onto a stool and said, "Sister Zhao, stay still and let Sister Fan dress you up. With our wonderful performance, the military wives of our camp will definitely be the center of attention today!"
Although Zhang Jihong was a little embarrassed, what woman doesn't love beauty? She was usually embarrassed to put on makeup, but it didn't matter how exaggerated the dress was today, it was all for the stage effect!
So she sat down obediently and let Fan Hua tidy her up.
Because Zhang Jihong is the lead singer today and her husband's official position is higher than her and Zhao Xiaoyan, Fan Hua dressed Zhang Jihong in a more solemn and stable style, with a touch of temperament.
A very elegant bun coupled with delicate and bright makeup makes Zhang Jihong look a lot more energetic and younger, and most importantly, she looks much more elegant than before.
Zhang Jihong was very satisfied, and the two of them helped her pick out a festive red dress to change into.
Seeing that the time was almost up, the three of them picked up the props and walked towards the auditorium together.
By the time we arrived at the auditorium, quite a few people had already arrived. Since their show was the fifth one in the middle, they could sit in the audience and watch other people's performances, and then go backstage to prepare when their show was almost over.
They put the props backstage first before finding a place to sit.
The auditorium was gradually filled with people. The front row was filled with the leaders of the regiment. Zhao Yilu was sitting right behind the leader in the second row.
The show began with a chorus from the art troupe. Zhou Xue was arranged in the middle. She looked proud and confident. Even Political Commissar Zhou, who was sitting next to the leaders in the first row, couldn't help but beam.
Chief Lu Haifeng smiled and said, "Old Zhou, your daughter is very outstanding!"
Political Commissar Zhou smiled modestly, "There are many young female comrades who are better than her. She still needs to study hard and make progress!"
Next came some other performances by the art troupe, and soon it was the chorus of the wives of the soldiers from the third battalion. After they finished, it was the turn of the wives of the soldiers from the first battalion, including Fan Hua, to perform on stage.
When Zhang Jihong saw Ye Xiulan and others go on stage, she immediately called Fan Hua and Zhao Xiaoyan to go backstage with her to prepare.
