Raising Babies in the 70s - Chapter 134

    “Sister, do you want to make a wedding dress by yourself?” Qin Rou’s eyes lit up after hearing this, “Yes! Sister, try it!”

    “Sister, the wedding dress you made must be very beautiful!”

    The expression on Qin Mian’s face was embarrassed: “Don’t praise me like that, in case my sister does something shameful, where to put her face.”

    “Sister, why don’t you try it? What can you do? No one dictates who is a genius from the beginning. Sister, you can do a few more pieces, and your craftsmanship will gradually improve.”

    “Maybe you can open a wedding dress shop in the future.”

    Qin Mian shook her head: “This wedding dress is beautiful, but who would buy it? I can’t wear it on weekdays…”

    “We can rent wedding dresses for people to take pictures, how many times can a person get married in a lifetime? If you can’t buy a wedding dress, you can’t rent a wedding dress once, and a couple of newlyweds take a few beautiful photos on the beach to keep as a memorial.”

    “Yeah.” Qin Mian’s eyes lit up, she thought of the picture Qin Rou described, and her whole person became more and more eager: “Girls put on such a beautiful wedding dress to take pictures before they get married. Take a photo, I’m afraid it will be hard to forget in this lifetime.”

    Qin Mian has made clothes for many years. She likes to see the happy and satisfied expressions of those people. At the same time, she also hopes that young girls can have an unforgettable marriage experience.

    “Sister, then you can make a few wedding dresses to practice your skills! We can inlaid pearls on the wedding dress, and beautiful shell carvings, by the way, a pearl veil! Be sure to make a pearl veil!”

    The snow-white pearl veil is like a dream, if it is draped on a woman’s black hair, it will be bright and shining, and it will be beautiful.

    “This…” Although Qin Mian felt that her sister’s idea was too extravagant and dreamy, it was pearls. It would be extravagant and wasteful to put pearls on a wedding dress, but she also thought that this year the factory would She didn’t think it was a waste to produce thousands of pearls.

    Now that everyone’s life is getting better, what about wasting it once?

     .

    That’s something I can’t even think about.

    “Sister, don’t worry so much, just let it go. Your sister, I want to wear the wedding dress made by my sister myself.”

    Who doesn’t want to wear beautiful clothes? It’s more than a wedding anniversary, who stipulates that you can’t take wedding photos on weekdays?

    “Okay, my sister, I’ll make a pearl wedding dress, and use those little pearls in the factory.”

     “Don’t worry, there are many small pearls in our factory.”

    “Sister, make a pearl veil!” Qin Rou told Qin Mian what she imagined the pearl veil to look like.

    —The snow-white veil is inlaid with countless tiny pearls.

    After hearing this, Qin Mian had no choice but to admire her sister: “You, you really have an idea.”

    A pearl veil like that, I don’t know how beautiful it is after it is made.

    Qin Rou and sisters said that they acted. Qin Mian went to Guangcheng to buy materials, Qin Rou went to the factory to select pearls, and they also made a lot of beautiful shell carvings for their own homes. My sister does wedding decorations.

    Qin Mian stuffed herself in the room for half a month, and finally made a gorgeous pearl wedding dress with all her efforts.

    After she was done, she quickly called her own sister and urged her to change it.

    “Sister, the wedding dress you made should be worn by you.”

    “Don’t talk nonsense, just try it on, my sister is so beautiful, these beautiful pearls are the best match!”

    Qin Mian urged Qin Rou to put on that pearl wedding dress, the snow-white complex long dress dragged the floor, Qin Rou’s face was gorgeous and publicized, with delicate makeup, and even more gorgeous Pearl veil.

    Qin Mian saw her sister wearing a wedding dress, without blinking her eyes: “Come and smile at my sister, laugh at the city, and laugh at the country, I would rather not know the city and the country. , beautiful women are hard to come by.”

    “My sister is so pretty!”

    Qin Rou raised her hand to hold the veil and smiled at Qin Mian: “Sister, after you stay with your brother-in-law for a long time, you will lose your book bag.”

    “Your sister-in-law said what she said from the bottom of her heart. It’s a pity, my brother-in-law is not here, so hurry up and take a few more photos and keep it for my brother-in-law to see.”

    “If Doudourong is here, I must say that my mother is the most beautiful. My mother is the most beautiful mother in the world.”

    “Sister, you are also the most beautiful mother in the eyes of children!”

    Qin Rou was at her sister and brother-in-law’s house in Dajiao Village at this time. Qin Mian asked her to go out and take a few pictures. As soon as she went out, she immediately attracted a crowd of onlookers. How many people have seen a wedding dress? Whether it was adults or children, everyone ran over.

    “Sister Qin Rou, you are so beautiful!”

    “So pretty!”

    Aunt Fu could swallow eggs with her mouth open. Meng Lan and other village girls looked at the gorgeous wedding dress with envy. The pearls and shell carvings inlaid on the wedding dress circulated in the sun The brilliance, especially the pearl veil, shines beautifully one by one, like a starry sky on the top of the head, like a dream, not like something that can be seen in the world.

    “Looks like a dream!”

    “The fairy described in the story is nothing more than that.”

    “What a happy woman to wear this dress.”

    …

    After Qin Rou briefly took a few photos, she went back to change the wedding dress on her body, and urged her own sister Qin Mian to put it on. Putting on the wedding dress she made by herself, Qin Rou painted her a delicate and beautiful makeup.

    Qin Mian looked at herself in the mirror, she really felt like she was dreaming, why didn’t she seem to know this beautiful woman in the mirror.

    So…she can still have such a beautiful time.

    “Amy, your hands are really powerful, you put so many things on your sister’s face, it’s like changing my face, the children won’t recognize it I’m here.”

    “Who said that?” Qin Rou smiled slightly: “Sister, you are so beautiful!”

    “Go out and let people see it! I’m going to have someone call my brother-in-law home! Let him come and see his beautiful wife!”

    Qin Mian’s face blushed: “Don’t be so loud, you are ashamed.”

     “Clouds think of clothes and flowers, and the spring breeze blows on the threshold of Revlon.”

    “Sister, don’t worry, your brother-in-law is not here, but my brother-in-law is here!”

    “Don’t move! I’m going to call my brother-in-law back!”

    “If he doesn’t come back, his beautiful wife will run away!”

    “Why is your sister so annoying!!!”

    …

    Chen Mian was still in class, and as soon as he finished class, he was pulled and said to go home and have a look, “There is a big surprise, Mr. Chen, a big surprise!!”

    “Children, let’s take a half day off today, let’s go to Mr. Chen’s house to watch the fun!”

    “Oh ah ah!!” The children cheered, and a group of people pushed Chen Mian to the house.

    Chen Mian and several other teachers were riding a bike, and the children were chasing after them, one by one, like monkeys, competing to see who would run back first.

     “Mr. Chen, hurry up! Hurry home and take a look!”

    Chen Mian was surrounded by all kinds of urging sounds, and everyone had strange smiles on their faces to urge him. He was affected by this strange atmosphere, and his heartbeat accelerated.

    Back home, in the familiar small building, under the eyes of a group of onlookers, he saw a woman walking out of the house.

    The woman was wearing a gorgeous pearl wedding dress. Under such bright sunlight, she smiled at him. At that moment, bright waves spread, like spring water reflecting pear flowers.

    Chen Mian didn’t know what he was thinking at the time, but he felt that his chest was filled with something, and the two looked at each other.

    “Chen Mian!” She called out to him.

    Chen Mian smiled, and at this moment, he seemed to have seen nearly twenty years pass by.

    When I first saw the mountains in the southwest, I could still see in my mind the thousands of deep mountains and green forests, the clear rivers, the small bridges and the fishing boats on the stilts, the distant folk songs were ethereal, the bright girl from the mountain Walk towards him.

    They have traveled all over the world, to the corners of the earth…all kinds of past and past come to mind.

    “Mr. Chen, why are you still standing there, go and change your clothes.”

    “Brother-in-law!” Qin Rou called to him: “I have found the clothes for you!”

     

    Qin Mian looked at him tenderly, as if she saw the elegant and young man in the old days again.

    “Sister, go and hold brother-in-law’s hand.”

    “Jing Yi, Jing Yi, you are back, come and take a picture of your parents.”

    “Auntie!”

    Qin Rou called Chen Jingyi over. Chen Jingyi understands art and painting and has an artistic aesthetic beyond ordinary people. His photography skills are also extremely rare. Qin Rou called Chen Jingyi to take pictures of his parents.

    Chen Jingyi took the camera, Qin Mian and Chen Mian couldn’t care less about being shy, and under the crowd of villagers, the couple took countless group photos, and they also took a group photo with a group of children less photos.

    Chen Mian’s students all followed, and Chen Jingyi took a group photo for them.

    The seven or eight-year-old girl wanted to touch but dared not touch the beautiful snow-white wedding dress, for fear that her black fingers would stain the white and flawless beauty.

    “Sister, can I wear such a beautiful dress in the future?”

    Qin Mian replied with a smile: “Of course!”

    “When you grow up and have someone you like, then get married in a wedding dress made by your mother.”

    …

    “Many girls will want to wear a wedding dress once.”

     Qin Rou’s sister Qin Mian discussed it and decided to open a small wedding photography center store in Lucheng. Qin Mian made the wedding dress herself, and Qin Rou provided cosmetics, pearl necklaces, pearl earrings, etc. accessories.

    This small wedding photography center shop undertakes a complete set of wedding photography services, including wedding dresses and makeup accessories, as well as custom wedding dresses and various pearl accessories.

    “This bridal shop can advertise our pearls.”

    “If they like it, they may buy a pearl necklace, or a pair of pearl earrings…”

    “Sister, you will be in charge of this pearl wedding photography shop in the future.”

    They found a few young girls in the village. Qin Rou taught them how to make up and take pictures. After a month of training, their humble wedding photography shop opened like this.

     The style does not need to be inlaid with too many accessories.

    Qin Mian himself is making a gorgeous and complicated wedding dress, which will be inlaid with shell carvings, and the beautiful pearls are the stamens in the shell carvings.

    Qin Rou found a few young and beautiful girls, took a few wedding photos for them individually, and used them as model advertisements in the store.

    “Sister Qin Rou, can I be the first customer in the store? I also want to wear this beautiful wedding dress.”

    The first customer in their store was none other than Menglan.

    “Menglan? Take pictures if you want, we won’t charge you!”

    “Come on, can you take a few pictures and keep them in our store to advertise?”

      What a cheeky wedding photo shoot.

    Meng Lan didn’t know where the courage came from, but she still yearned for that beautiful wedding dress in her heart.

    She felt that she didn’t need other men by her side, she could wear that gorgeous wedding dress herself, and she wanted to see herself different from usual.

    Menglan put on a wedding dress, Qin Rou put on a beautiful makeup for her, Menglan put on a pearl necklace she cultivated, and beautiful pearl earrings on her ears.

    She looked at herself in the mirror and showed a satisfied and sweet smile.

    Aunt Fu took a lot of photos on the beach with her granddaughter and her daughter in a wedding dress. The last single photo of Menglan was placed in the bridal shop. The woman in the photo has delicate facial features and a simple smile Sweet, filled with a kind of happy sweetness.

    “I saw a happy self.” Meng Lan looked at herself in the photo, her smile was relaxed and beautiful.

    She feels that her life has been dark, but the future is like a pearl in the sun, reflecting dazzling light.

    Meng Lan decided to save these photos.

    Qin Mian looked at the sweet smiles of the women in wedding dresses in the photo shop, and she joked with Qin Rou: “What about the owner of our Xunrou Pearl Factory? Don’t take a few photos to hang Advertise your pearls in the pearl factory.”

    Qin Rou was indeed hesitating, thinking if she wanted to bring her pearls in person, but she didn’t plan to bring them in a wedding dress, “Sister, when are you coming to make me a pearl? Put on a cheongsam.”

    Wear a cheongsam and pearl jewelry to look more retro.

    —More like a boss.

    The Zhang Chengbei couple are the first customers of the wedding photography shop. The photography packages of the wedding shop are 68 yuan, 108 yuan, 188 yuan, 288 yuan and three hundred and eighty-eight.

    In order to thank Zhang Chengbei for taking pictures of the couple, Qin Rou repaid the money, confiscated the money of the Zhang family, and took the highest standard wedding photos for free.

    Zhang Cheng was so excited, and now he is finally taking the wedding photos! !

    He was very satisfied with the whole process, but it was a pity that the Lu family and his wife did not watch him take pictures with their own eyes.

    Huang Xinying smiled: “Xiao Qin’s makeup on me is so beautiful.”

    “As expected of a girl from the art troupe.”

    “The girls from other art troupes are not as good-looking as her.”

    “Who made her a beauty-loving girl from the art troupe? I guess she used to practice cosmetics a lot in the art troupe.”

    …

    Zhang Chengbei and his wife took a whole set of photos. After the photo was taken, it was called a festive one. I can’t wait to let all the men in the family come to see their wedding photos and know how happy they are as husband and wife. .

    “Looking back many years ago, I was the envy of everyone in my family’s courtyard, and I married a good wife.”

    “It’s just that this three-good wife has gone astray.”

    Zhang Chengbei sighed: “On the contrary, I have become a kitchen in the hall, I can clean up and take care of the yard outside, grow flowers and grass to cultivate my sentiments, grow vegetables and melons to subsidize the family… I can also wash my son. Nice man in diapers.”

    All of this depends on Lu Laogou next door, Lao Zhang’s lifelong enemy.

    His good days have come to an end since he came.

    “It’s a good journey!” Huang Xinying smiled happily. In the past few years, she has become a woman envied by many people. Although she has no daughter, she has also given birth to three sons. My husband can also cook in the kitchen and help the children wash diapers. In addition, in order to fight with Lao Lu next door, his old man often holds the second child in one hand and the third child in the other for strolling in the family’s courtyard, but he does not give him a chance. She has built up a few waves of good fame.

    Old Lu next door hugs two babies with both hands, and Lao Zhang next door also hugs from left to right! Lao Zhang will never admit defeat.

    One big and one small is more challenging, mentally better than the next door!

    “Son son son! One super, one super, one super! Your dad, I’ll give you something!” Zhang Chengbei wanted to make the whole world know about the things that made him happy and satisfied. He couldn’t show things in front of the next door, so he could only look for others with regret, and did everything he could find, even his own son.

    “Dad, what’s wrong with you?” Zhang Yichao is reading, he will take the college entrance examination for the first time next year.

    Although he is reading a book, he actually secretly reads martial arts novels. At the moment, there is a martial arts novel under the serious textbook, but his father refuses to leave. He is seeing the key plot. It really delayed him from reading novels.

     

    Zhang Yichao opened the pocket watch in his hand and looked at the couple’s wedding photo in the pocket watch with a blank face: “…”

    Do you think his father has a problem, and even let him bring his parents’ wedding photos to go to college.

    “You must show off in front of your classmates, your parents have taken wedding photos in the ends of the earth, are you envious? In the future, you will bring your partner back to take wedding photos!”

    Zhang Yichao: “…I may not be able to enter the university yet.”

     

    “Are you my father? I’m just being humble, do you really think I can’t get into college?”

    “Then remember to bring your wedding photos!”

    Zhang Yichao: “…”

      The military married couples in the family home were given a 60-30% discount, so most of them joined in the fun to take pictures.

    Several young girls from Dajiao Village came to the photography shop to help, and a few young guys followed to learn photography, carrying things back and forth.

    Qin Rou went to contract with the Lucheng Transportation Company and rented three cars to facilitate the travel of the pearl factory and the photography shop. It is nothing new to rent a car. It is not easy for ordinary people to learn a driver’s license. Affiliated to the transportation company, pay a large amount of rent to the transportation company every month, and the transportation company also relies on this to make extra money.

    “Do you think my photo looks good?”

    “The wedding photos by the sea are so beautiful!”

    “I have only seen people taking wedding photos in big cities before, but I didn’t expect to be able to take photos on this small island, how beautiful, this sea and beach, how beautiful people can be photographed. !”

      It is different. After the filming, even if I spent money, I am very happy, and the relationship between some couples has improved a lot.

    Guo Qingmei didn’t go to take wedding photos, and she just kept silent when she heard their discussion, because she had said before: “After I make money, I will buy foreign famous brand wedding photos. , what they made in this small workshop can’t compare to foreign goods.”

    That’s what she said, but other people don’t care about domestic and foreign goods, their wedding dresses are beautiful enough, so in addition to Guo Qingmei, many of them went to take wedding photos and took pictures works well.

    “Look at my pearl veil, it’s beautiful!”

     “Qin Rou’s pearls from her pearl factory are really beautiful. When I save up money, I will buy a pearl necklace to wear!”

    …

    Guo Qingmei listened to their discussion, and her eyes were hot in private. Guo Qingmei was annoyed, thinking that when she made money and bought a wedding dress from abroad, she must surprise them.

    She wants to buy a foreign pearl wedding dress! The foreign goods outside are much more advanced than the goods in their small workshops.

     Qin Rou’s family returned to the family’s courtyard for a while, and the yard at home has undergone great changes. In the green grass, the hydrangeas transplanted from my sister’s house are about to bloom.

    The four children in the family are studying on the island again. The two brothers Zhouzhou and Jiaozi are in elementary school. The sisters Tiandourong went to the kindergarten where their brother went. The principal Wu saw these two children. The sisters were very happy.

    “Our little bean paste is also coming to kindergarten.”

    “Your mother taught dancing in kindergarten!”

    “Wow! Really?!”

    “Mom can dance!”

    “Yes, your mom dances so well!”

    …

    After coming back from kindergarten, the sisters Tiandourong gathered around Qin Rou and said they wanted to see their mother dance.

    And a sweet bunny dance!

    Qin Rou: “your mother has forgotten how to dance.”

    “Dance Mommy! Dance Mommy!”

    Lu Yan hugged her two little daughters, winked her eyes and said, “Daughter-in-law, show our little bean paste dancing.”

    “No jump, no jump, no jump!”

    “You father and daughter are all bad people! Bad father brings bad daughter!!”

    “Want to see mom dance!”

    “If you want to learn dancing, I will send you to the Children’s Palace to learn dancing in the future. Sister Nian Nian is also learning dancing at the Children’s Palace.”

    Sweet Bean Rong sisters stomped their feet and shouted, tangled behind Qin Rou’s ass: “I just want to watch my mother dance.”

    “Okay, okay, mom will take you to the second floor to dance.” Qin Rou took the two cubs to dance in the room on the second floor, she drove Lu Yan with a strange smile outside: “You are not allowed in!”

    Doudou and Rongrong supported: “Dad, don’t peek at Mommy dancing!”

    Lu Yan snorted coldly: “It’s obvious that you mother and daughter are of one mind, and only dad is excluded. Are there any secrets that I can’t see? It’s not like I haven’t seen it before.”

    “You walk around, don’t delay our mother and daughter three.”

      How cute can it be.

    The two little bean pastes moved around like their mother did.

    Qin Rou smiled: “It’s still good for the little cubs to dance.”

    “Daughter-in-law dances better.”

    Qin Rou: “…”

    Qin Rou turned around and saw a comrade surnamed Lu sitting at the window, she went to pull him down, and said fiercely: “If you don’t take the lead in front of the children, you will climb the window without authorization. I’m scared to death, Dad is not allowed to eat tonight!”

    “Mom is too fierce.”

    “Must be taught a lesson!”

    The small lawn in their yard is very beautiful, and the weather is sunny, Lu Yan even got a few butter crabs, so Qin Rou thinks about making an outdoor barbecue.

    The children at home are getting older, and there is nothing wrong with eating a little barbecue. The more people there are, the more fun it is, so I called more people over.

    Lao Zhang and Liu family from the next door came over, as well as the detachment leader Xie Rongyi and Gu Cheng, who came over to join in the fun, these men got together to drink and play cards, the navy kept the old man Project, hit enough level.

    In addition to the charcoal grilling, Qin Rou marinated the fish, put the iron plate containing the fish into the oven to grill the fish, and grilled garlic oysters, prawns, fish balls, etc. on the outside…

    Xie Rongyi smelled the aroma of grilled oysters, and couldn’t help rubbing her nose, holding the card and smiling: “Lu Yan, you have a really comfortable life.”

    “Life is too good.”

    “Gu Cheng, you haven’t learned from Chief of Staff Lu, how old are you and Lu Yan? I remember you are only one year apart?”

    “You see that people have wives, children and daughters, and their sons are so old. How about you, why are you still a bachelor?” There, this is also an old project that belongs to the reserved level.

    Gu Cheng: “…”

    The choice to be transferred to the South China Sea Fleet was the biggest mistake of his life.

    Gu Cheng hesitated whether he would like Zhao Jianghong to apply for transfer to a nearby island garrison.

    Fortunately, Xie Rongzhen not only talked about Gu Cheng, but also criticized Lu Yan: “Lu Yan, look at what your captain did in the past? Don’t help Comrade Gu Cheng, just allow him Can’t find someone like that?”

    Lu Yan said lightly, “It’s because he doesn’t want to find someone.”

    It’s not my business.

     

    Gu Cheng: “…I didn’t eat bran.”

    What’s wrong with not finding someone? He doesn’t want to find someone! !

    “You eat pig food yourself and think pig food is delicious, I don’t know what to say about you pig.”

    “Oh, how delicious is this grilled oyster?”

    Sister Qin Rou and Huang brought them a plate of grilled fish intestines, oysters, leeks and so on. They brought the children to barbecue and brushed the sauce. The fun is doing it yourself.

    “Your daughter bakes it by herself, does Dad eat it?” Qin Rou stuffed Lu Yan with a bunch of shrimp.

    “Daughter is young and will be filial to her father.”

    Lu Yan looked at the half-dark shrimp, and raised his eyebrows: “…Is it cooked?”

    Is sweet bean paste so filial to my father?

     “Don’t worry, it’s cooked, don’t look ugly on the outside, it’s still delicious after peeling the shell.”

     

    “Daughter-in-law, did you bake this for me?”

    His lover smiled: “You are so beautiful, try it!”

    Gu Cheng: “…”

    “Xiao Qin, you have been unqualified as a sister-in-law for so many years, and you haven’t introduced anyone to Gu Cheng.”

     “Didn’t you go to a university? What about your classmates? Do you have one? Introduce one to Xiao Gu.”
