"My father is still alive and I have an older brother." Zhou Rang didn't notice Su Nan's unnatural expression, so he didn't know what was going on in her mind, and added seriously.
"Then we both have a family of four."
Su Nan coughed lightly, retracted his gaze, sat upright and quietly ate his snack, not daring to glance around anymore.
After the two of them finished eating the food they brought, they followed the path back to the educated youth site.
Time flies and it is the day of Xiao Rong's cousin's wedding.
Before daybreak, Su Nan forced himself to get up. Fortunately, Zhou Rang sent him a watch, otherwise he would have missed the time and it would have been terrible.
As soon as Su Nan closed the door, she saw Xiao Rong waiting at the entrance of the educated youth center. She was dressed neatly today, wearing a thick coat and two lazy and fluffy pigtails.
The skin on her face is smooth, clean, flawless and tender, completely different from her previous appearance with acne all over her face.
Xiao Rong knew that this was thanks to the expensive vanishing cream she bought from Su Nan. She was very careful every time she used it and was reluctant to use too much, but it was almost used up now.
She was debating whether to buy another box because her skin condition was already better now. It might be okay not to use it, but if she stopped using it, acne would come back after a while. Wouldn't all her efforts be wasted?
Thinking about marrying Li Guangde after the New Year, she felt very nervous.
I should buy another box. Thinking of this, Xiao Rong smiled and waved enthusiastically at Su Nan.
"Su Zhiqing."
Su Nan, carrying a bamboo box, trotted over to Xiao Rong. He couldn't help but yawn, scratched his forehead with a rather uneasy look, and laughed dryly, "I got up too early, and I haven't recovered yet."
"After you finish putting makeup on my cousin, you can come back and catch up on your sleep." Xiao Rong pursed her lips and smiled lightly, her gaze turning to the bamboo box in Su Nan's hand.
"What is this? Is it okay? Do you need me to carry it for you?"
Hearing this, Su Nan shook his head and replied, "No need, it's not a big deal, I just packed some cosmetics."
After saying that, the two of them walked quickly towards Xiao Rong's cousin's house.
When we arrived at Xiao Rong's house, we found that a group of people had gathered there early in the morning. They were all relatives who came to help, and some neighbors came to chat and join in the fun. Anyway, the place was very noisy.
Xiao Rong's mother was sharp-eyed and spotted Xiao Rong and Su Nan from a distance. She stood at the gate and shouted at the top of her voice, "Are you here? Come in quickly."
Suddenly everyone looked towards the two of them.
"Isn't this Xiao Rong? Who's that next to her?"
"Su Nan, you're a newly arrived educated youth. Don't tell me you don't know that Xiao Jing, the daughter of Village Chief Xiao, was imprisoned because of her. She was released a while ago and has been hiding at home all day. She doesn't even dare to go out now."
"Tsk tsk, now that you mention it, I remember it."
When Su Nan approached, the people who were talking about her dared not say anything more. They shut their mouths tightly and pretended to be busy with their hands.
"Mom, let's go find my cousin first. You go ahead and do your work." Xiao Rong said hurriedly, and then took Su Nan straight to Xiao Rong's room.
After entering the house, the first thing Su Nan saw was the sewing machine placed in the middle of the room. There was a big red flower tied on it, which looked very eye-catching and imposing.
Xiao Rong's cousin was sitting on the bed talking to her younger sister. When she saw Su Nan and Xiao Rong coming, her eyes lit up. She straightened her bright red cotton jacket and stood up to greet them.
"Arong, Su Zhiqing, you are here. Please sit down. I ask you to go to the kitchen and bring two bowls of boiled eggs so they can fill their stomachs first." Perhaps because she was getting married today, cousin Xiao Rong's face was flushed and she looked very healthy.
"Yes." After answering, the little guy ran out.
"Cousin, your clothes are really beautiful." Xiao Rong took her cousin's hand and sat on the bed, eyes full of envy. After she finished speaking, she touched the clothes twice. The material was smooth and you could tell it was not cheap.
I hope she can wear such beautiful clothes when she gets married.
"I think that's fine. It would be really impressive to get married in a Lenin suit. But we asked around in the village, and no one has one. There are some in other villages, but they're unwilling to lend them to us."
Cousin Xiao Rong sighed, but her face was full of smiles, obviously pretending to be modest.
Xiao Rong saw through it but didn't say anything. She praised the clothes a few more times and stopped talking when her younger sister came in with the bowl.
"Su Zhiqing, eat quickly. After you finish eating, we will put on makeup." Cousin Xiao Rong handed Su Nan a bowl with a fried egg and a few cabbages in it. The soup looked clear and watery, without much oil.
But eggs are a delicious food, and since he couldn't eat anything greasy so early in the morning, they just suited Su Nan's appetite.
"Thanks."
Before eating, Su Nan asked his cousin Xiao Rong to wash her face.
After finishing the meal, Su Nan opened the bamboo box and placed it on a chair. She had already thought about what kind of makeup she should put on, and once everything was ready, she was waiting for her cousin Xiao Rong.
At this moment, several women came in talking and laughing, instantly filling up the room which was not big to begin with and was already cluttered with things.
"Sister Rong, your cousin told me that a big project is going to be done today, so we came here to watch the fun."
"Yeah, this is the first time I've seen someone put on makeup for a wedding."
"Just for the sake of novelty."
Several women gathered in a big circle, talking to each other in a noisy manner that hurt people's ears.
Xiao Rong tried to smooth things over, replying with a dry laugh and looking at Su Nan cautiously. She thought she would be unhappy, but when she turned around, she saw her chatting with the group of women with a smile on her face.
"Let me tell you, whether Shanghai girls are going on a blind date or getting married, they all have to put on makeup and wear a little skirt. It's so fashionable."
Su Nan put her hands on the bamboo box as a protective posture, to prevent them from bumping into her and getting hurt.
He looked at the group of young women in front of him with sparkling eyes and spoke half-truthful and polite words.
They are all potential customers, so naturally you have to arouse their interest first and then slowly approach them.
"Really?" someone immediately asked.
Shanghai, one of the largest cities in China, is a place you'd never miss. But these days, even going out requires a letter of introduction, which costs a fortune. As a result, the farthest many people have ever been is the provincial capital, and some haven't even been to a county seat.
"Of course. Girls who are more particular about themselves put on makeup every day." Su Nan said seriously.
She was not talking nonsense. When she was in Shanghai, there were indeed young girls and women who put on makeup when going out, but they were just a minority.
After hearing what Su Nan said, everyone became even more excited to see what cousin Xiao Rong would look like after putting on makeup.
"What are these? I've never seen them before." Someone pointed at the bamboo box that Su Nan had just opened and asked in surprise.
Su Nan followed the direction she pointed and found the tools next to her. She smiled and said, "These are all makeup tools. You'll know how to use them later. This set is not cheap. You can't buy it in China. My relatives sent it to me from abroad. Any two of them will cost at least three figures."
When they heard that the price of the garbage bought from abroad was still three figures, everyone gasped.
