"My mother is still alive, and I have an older brother." Zhou Rang didn't notice Su Nan's uneasy look, so he didn't know what was in her mind, and added something very seriously.
"Then we are both a family of four."
Su Nan coughed lightly, retracted his gaze, sat upright and quietly ate his snacks, not daring to glance around anymore.
After the two men finished eating the food they brought, they followed the path back to the educated youth site.
Time flies and it is the day when Xiao Rong's cousin gets married.
Before dawn, Su Nan forced himself to get up. Fortunately, he had the watch Zhou Rang gave him, otherwise it would have been bad if he was late.
As soon as Su Nan closed the door, he 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 braids.
The skin on her face is smooth, clean, flawless and very tender, completely different from her previous face full of acne.
Xiao Rong knew that this was all thanks to the Xue Xi ointment that Xi bought from Su Nan at a high price. 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 very good now, so it might be okay not to use it. But if she stopped using it, and acne started to appear again 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 somewhat embarrassedly, 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 eyes turning to the bamboo box in Su Nan's hand.
"What is this? Is it heavy? Do you need me to help you carry it?"
Hearing this, Su Nan shook her head and replied, "No, it's not very heavy, it's just 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 door, we found that a group of people had gathered there early in the morning. They were all relatives who came to help. There were also some neighbors who came to chat and join in the fun. Anyway, it was very noisy.
Xiao Rong's mother had sharp eyes and spotted Xiao Rong and Su Nan from a distance. She stood at the gate of the yard and shouted at the top of her voice: "You are here? Come in quickly."
Suddenly everyone looked towards the two of them.
"Isn't this Xiao Rong? Who is next to her?"
"Su Nan, the educated youth who just came this year, don't tell me that you don't know that Xiao Jing, the girl from Village Chief Xiao's family, was imprisoned for her. She was just released some time 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, those who were talking about her dared not say anything anymore. They shut their mouths tightly and pretended to be busy with the things in their hands.
"Mom, let's go find my cousin first, you go ahead." Xiao Rong said hurriedly, and then took Su Nan straight to Xiao Rong's room.
When Su Nan entered the house, the first thing he saw was the sewing machine placed in the middle of the room. There was a big red rose tied on it, which was very eye-catching and impressive.
Xiao Rong's cousin was sitting on the bed talking to her 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." Maybe because she was getting married today, cousin Xiao Rong's face was flushed and she looked very good.
"Okay." After answering, the little person ran out.
"Cousin, your clothes are so beautiful." Xiao Rong held her cousin's hand and sat on the bed, her 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 nice clothes when she gets married.
"I think it's fine. It would be really impressive if we could wear a Lenin suit to get married. But we asked around in the village and no one has one. There are some in other villages, but they are not willing 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 so we can put on makeup after eating." Cousin Xiao Rong handed Su Nan a bowl with a poached egg and a few cabbages in it. The soup looked watery and had little oil.
But eggs are good things, and it’s hard to eat greasy food early in the morning, so they suit Su Nan’s appetite.
"Thanks."
Before eating, Su Nan asked his cousin Xiao Rong to wash her face.
After eating, 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. Everything was ready, and she was just waiting for her cousin Xiao Rong.
At this moment, several women came in, talking and laughing, and instantly filled the small room which was full of things.
"Sister Rong, I heard from your cousin that there will be a big event today, so we came here specially 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 formed a big circle, arguing with each other, making so much noise that it hurt people's ears.
Xiao Rong tried to smooth things over, replying with a dry laugh and looking at Su Nan cautiously, thinking that she would be unhappy. However, when she turned around, she saw her chatting with the group of women with a smile on her face.
"Let me tell you, girls in Shanghai have to wear makeup whether they are dating or getting married, and if they wear a little skirt, they will look very fashionable."
Su Nan put her hands on the bamboo box as a protective gesture to prevent them from bumping into her hands and feet 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 you have to arouse their interest first and then work slowly towards winning them over.
"Really?" someone asked immediately.
Shanghai is one of the largest cities in China. Who wouldn't want to live there? But now you need a letter of introduction to go out, and it costs a lot of money, so many people have been to the farthest place is the provincial capital, and some people have never even been to a county town.
"That's for the ladies. Girls who are more particular will 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 a minority.
After hearing what Su Nan said, everyone became more excited to see cousin Xiao Rong finish 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 will 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 cost at least three figures."
When they heard that it cost three figures for something bought from abroad, everyone gasped.
