Chapter 104
It was already six o’clock in the afternoon when she came back from Xue Ji Ladies’ Suit Shop.
As soon as Zhu Yan Shu arrived home, she went back to her bedroom to lie down, and Zhang Ma followed her in to help her turn on the lights and pull the curtains, and waited for her to take off her clothes and change into her pajamas before she closed the door and came out, saying, “Your mom is tired, and won’t be having dinner tonight, so what are you going to eat?”
Yang Yuyan and Yang Yucan also sat on the sofa and couldn’t get up, only Su Chunjun had the strength to put down the big bag in his hand, and smiled at Zhang Ma, “I’m afraid that everyone is not too hungry.”
Zhang Ma laughed, “Isn’t that so? It’s been a long day of eating.”
In the morning, when they went to Xue Ji Ladies’ Suit Shop to take the measurements for the clothes, after picking the style and leaving the deposit, they came out before eleven o’clock, and the three of them went crazy. First turned to the restaurant to eat refreshments, after eating refreshments to fill the stomach straight to the department store, from the first floor to the third floor, every counter have shopped all over.
After the department store, out after the refused to come back, and sought a theater to listen to the afternoon of their acoustic drums, while listening to the side of the music while eating snacks in the garden, what the chicken skin wontons Yangzhou buns umeboshi pastry a table, everyone ate a lot.
From the theater out, finally to go home, passing by to see the snack store, and stopped to pack a few kinds of snacks, all Yang Yuyan said to eat.
Su Chunjun put the snacks on the coffee table, and Zhang Ma deliberately asked Yang Yuyan, who was paralyzed on the sofa, “Ancestor, are you still eating the snacks now?”
Yang Yuyan shook her head, pressed her stomach and said, “No, Mrs. Zhang, I’m too full.”
Mrs. Zhang: “Serves you right. I told you that I couldn’t finish it, but I kept ordering, and I ate two bites of each item and stopped eating, and look, it’s all wrapped up, enough for you to eat the same thing for a week. I’m saving it all for you, you’ll have to eat it all for me.”
Zhang Ma went to bring the leftovers back into the kitchen and put them on a plate. Su Chunjun saw that the family was tired and didn’t have the strength to entertain him anymore, so he went to the kitchen and said to Zhang Ma, “Zhang Ma, I’m leaving first, let them rest.”
Zhang Ma called out to him, “You wait, you take this dish back, heat it up and eat it when you’re hungry at night.”
She found a big soup bowl, put all the meat and vegetables into it, covered a plate to him, Su Chunjun reached out to take it, she took it back, uneasy: “I’d better send it up to you, you can’t hold it and then drop my bowl.”
Su Chunjun laughed, “Mrs. Zhang, I am not that useless. I won’t even be able to serve a bowl well, give it to me.”
Zhang Ma raised her chin, “Forget it, you go about your business, right, you take your shoes back.”
In the department store Zhu Yanshu bought several pairs of shoes, specifically for Su Chunjun bought a new pair, but also bought a pair of leather for Zhang Ma.
Su Chunjun is not polite, bend down to lift up, this is for him in the engagement ceremony with a suit to wear, his suit made two bodies, a black one and a gray one, if it is not Zhang Ma stopped, Ms. Zhu is afraid that she would like to make him another more playful one. He is considered today to see the style of the Zhu family’s eldest daughter, which has a little bit of the year Zhu half of the city to raise the appearance of the eldest daughter it. Second Miss Yang was only a little bit like Ms. Zhu, but she was also the one who was extremely ignorant about spending money.
Thinking that in the future he will have to follow behind Miss Yang like Zhang Ma and worry about her Zhang Lu, his heart is not to mention how happy he is.
Yang Yuyan saw him to go back, also not stand up, sitting on the sofa beckoned: “You want to go?”
He went over and bent down and said with a smile, “I’m going back, you have a good rest.”
Yang Yuyan nodded, “I’ll go back to bed as soon as you leave.”
Su Chunjun glanced at the still white sky and said with a smile, “It’s good to go to bed early, you’re tired today.”
Zhang Ma said, “Look, Mr. Su is laughing at you. Why don’t you get up and see them off, there are no rules.”
Yang Yuyan got up to see them off, and when she saw Yang Yucan still sitting still, she called out to her sister, “Sister, get up and see them off.”
Yang Yucan didn’t get up, “I’ve been promoted, I’m a great-aunt now, great-aunts don’t need to see off their aunts.”
Zhang Ma laughed so hard that she dropped the bowl in her hand, “You two little brats, you both deserve a beating.”
When Yang Yuyan opened her mouth for the first time in front of her sister, Su Chunjun only laughed, holding Yang Yuyan and saying to Yang Yucan, “Then, Great Aunt, I’ll leave first.”
Yang Yucan glared and laughed.
Zhang Ma said, “You deserve it, I told you to take advantage of people first, now don’t be annoyed. Alright, you sit down too, wait for me to boil water, you all wash and go to bed early.”
Yang Yuyan sent Su Chunjun to the door, and the two of them said goodbye. When she came back, she saw Yang Yucan going to the kitchen to turn on the stove to boil water. She went over and leaned against the door and said, “Sister, aren’t you angry with him anymore?”
Yang Yucan: “I’m not mad at him if he’s nice to you.”
Yang Yuyan a little unexplained depressed: “Well ……” as if from today only vaguely have feelings that she will be leaving this home, will be leaving the previous world, towards the new world, this uneasiness today began to grow and spread.
Yang Yuchan looked back at her and said, “Don’t be afraid, if you have a bad time in the future, divorce, come home.”
Yang Yuyan covered her mouth and smiled cheekily. Now that there were only two sisters, there was no need to be so cautious and careful in talking.
Yang Yu Cicada said, “After the divorce case of the Imperial Princess, all the female students in our school are very happy. In the past, we could only endure if we had a bad time after the marriage, but in the future, we can choose to give up the marriage and save ourselves. This is the first and most important step in women’s liberation. Divorce is your power, you have to use it well to protect yourself in the future, don’t be embarrassed.”
Yang Yuyan nodded, “I know. I won’t put up with it if I’m having a bad time.”
Zhang Ma opened the door and came back, heard this and said, “What are you talking about again? It’s fine for you sisters to talk about it behind your backs, but don’t say it in front of Mr. Su. He’s been so good to you, it hurts your heart to say this too much.”
Yang Yuyan nodded, “I understand, Mrs. Zhang. I like him too ah, I’ll be good to him too. But no one can say for sure about life, if he doesn’t treat me well in the future, I won’t hold back and not say anything.”
Zhang Ma said, “You’re right to think that way, of course you don’t have to hold back if he’s not good to you. When the time comes, you don’t have to get divorced to fight for right and wrong before you can leave, you have to learn this point from your father, people run away first, and then fold back to fight for black and white when they are safe.”
Yang Yuyan and Yang Yucan laughed together.
Zhang Ma justified: “What? Where did I go wrong? In the future, Mr. Yang will definitely be in a higher position, so how can Yan Yan compete with him? It’s only right to run away if you don’t want to.” She pushed Yang Yucan away, “Alright, all of you sisters get out, don’t cause me any trouble.”
A week later, Xue Ji Ladies’ Suit Shop delivered the clothes.
There were two sets for everyone, Yang Yuyan stood around the room trying on her new clothes, not waiting to be happy before Zhang Ma hung them up in the cupboard and tied them with a scented bag to get rid of insects.
From this day onward, time seemed to speed up, and in the blink of an eye it was May 5th.
At 4:30 in the morning, Yang Yuyan was dragged out of the quilt by Zhang Ma, and sat drowsily at the table to have her hair rolled by the hair dresser.
The hair dresser smiled and said, “Don’t worry miss, I’ll roll it for you, no female can be prettier than you today!”
Yang Yuyan let out a heavenly yawn and blinked her eyes full of tears as she responded, “Okay, thank you very much.”
She had another little nap in the dark, and opened her eyes already at six o’clock, with many bamboo sticks wrapped horizontally and vertically around her hair, and when she moved, it stuck in her neck.
Her neck stiffened, and she saw Yang Yucan sitting on the bed, and the hair dresser had already gone out, so she hurriedly called out to her sister, “Sister, sister, what kind of hair did she roll up for me?”
Yang Yucan came over and handed her a pictorial, spread it out and showed her the middle picture, on it was a French woman, her hair hanging down to her shoulders, all neatly rolled up in screws, straight like an egg roll.
Yang Yuyan let out a wow, “Permed like this?”
Yang Yuchan nodded, ruffled the bamboo sticks on her head and laughed, “You’re like this like a string of sugar gourds.”
Yang Yuyan: “Why don’t you say I’m like toothpick meat?”
Yang Yu Cicada shook her head, “After all, they are biological sisters, I still can’t quite bear it.”
Zhang Ma came in with breakfast and saw that the two sisters were still teasing, scolding, “Eldest sister, you hurry to go out and eat breakfast, I’ll see people coming at this moment. Yan Yan, you hurry up and eat, in a moment that combing lady will still have to put makeup on you.”
Yang Yuyan had already heard the sound of people in the living room at this moment, dumbfounded, “People? Why are there still people coming?”
Zhang Ma: “Mrs. Liao brought someone to the door, I think it’s to see the fun, but what they said also makes sense, your mother alone is too little, a few more people to accompany also looks like we have more relatives and friends ah.”
Yang Yuyan screamed in a small voice: “I’m engaged! Not a marriage, right? Where’s Mr. Su?”
Zhang Ma: “He’s gone to pick up someone, and he’s going to two more places, first to the university, then to Secretary He’s house, and maybe even to the Finance Bureau. He can’t save you, hurry up and eat yours.” Said the bun to her down.
Mrs. Liao has a son and a daughter, but still love the bustle of other people’s homes. She dressed up early and called on a group of friends to come to the Zhu family.
Zhu Yanshu last night has already ironed the head, this morning only need to change clothes on the go, was to save trouble, lest the morning combing lady busy, did not want to really do the right thing. Once Mrs. Liao came, she couldn’t do anything and could only accompany the guests first.
Yang Yucan was embarrassed by Mrs. Liao’s words outside before she hid in.
Now she was driven to dinner by Mrs. Zhang, so she could only turn around and quietly sneak into the kitchen to eat. She stood in front of the stove and ate the buns – this morning, Zhang Ma saved her time, except for Zhu Yanshu who had noodles to eat, the rest of the people could only eat buns.
Only after taking a bite, Zhu Yanshu also ducks in to catch her breath and frowns when she sees her, “In a moment, you should also perm your hair.”
Yang Yucan was shocked and said, “I don’t want to do it, if I do, I won’t look like a student.”
Zhu Yanshu: “I don’t think you need to go to school, you can go back to get a diploma after a year to see if things get better. But I think this certificate is not a certificate, not as important as real talent. You have studied for four years in school, much more useful than that certificate.”
Yang Yu Cicada was a little hesitant, Zhu Yanshu had a point and she wasn’t too repulsed.
Zhu Yanshu said, “Since I’m not going to school, what’s the point of having a perm or not? Today, everyone has a perm, and Zhang Ma has a new head, so you should have a perm too, it’ll look good.”
Yang Yucan was pulled back to Yang Yuyan’s house by the hair dresser.
Yang Yuyan had already eaten her buns, rinsed her mouth and brushed her teeth, and was waiting for the hair dresser to put on her makeup. When she saw Yang Yuyan being dragged back, she laughed: “You need a perm too hahahahahaha.”
Yang Yuchan: “You still have to put on makeup.”
Yang Yuyan then bitterly said to the hair dresser, “Don’t put on too much makeup, I don’t like it.”
The hair dresser smiled and said, “Not too thick, not too thick, don’t worry miss, I’ve also done makeup for movie stars, I won’t make it ugly for you. Let’s just put on a little powder.”
Said so, but the hair dresser first gave her eyebrow trimming, shaved all the stray hairs clean, trimmed the eyebrow shape into a double swallow eyebrow, and then used the eyebrow pencil to draw the shape.
After the drawing, Yang Yuyan was told to look at it, and the hair dresser said, “Miss, look, isn’t this like a movie star?”
Yang Yuyan looked at her eyebrows in the mirror, isn’t this just a raised eyebrow? But it really looks like the wings of swallows in Chinese paintings, so it’s much better to call it the Double Swallow Eyebrows.
Next, the hair dresser asked her to stand up and used a large powder puff to put powder on her back, armpits, waist and all around, even on her arms and back of her hands.
Yang Yuyan held up her hands in a surrendering position, “Why do I have to powder even here?”
The hair dresser said, “I’m afraid you’ll sweat and get your clothes wet and it’s not elegant, so if you put on the powder, you won’t sweat.”
That makes sense.
It is that this powder smells especially like prickly heat powder ……
Yang Yuyan sat down on the closed eyes as a puppet, let the comb lady in her face toss, although now there is no foundation ah beauty egg, but a variety of guys and gals are not a lot of comb lady on the table set up a small box, open all the same thing.
She rubbed her face as a canvas and tortured her for a long time before letting her go.
Yang Yuyan didn’t even dare to open her eyes for fear of painting her into a big flowery face.
But really looked in the mirror and found that it is not so scary, it is the powder painted a little white, rouge more red a little, but strange and not ugly, on the contrary, it looks like her powder light fat color, face value rubbed up several steps.
She admired her own beauty in the mirror, Yang Yu Cicada took her place by being pressed on the chair and tossing her hair, her body sweating, the combing lady said: ”Missy don’t be nervous, I won’t give you too many rolls so that as soon as you come back and wash your hair, the rolls will be gone. If you want to stay for a few more days, don’t wash it or comb it, just wear a sleeping cap when you sleep.”
Yang Yucan was relieved to hear that she wouldn’t be staying for long, but turned her head to see Yang Yuyan looking in the mirror and said, “What are you looking at? The painting looks like an opera singer.”
Yang Yuyan does not care, eyes do not leave the mirror, ah ah she can be really good-looking!
While saying, “Mother, you also give my sister some powder, so that she is the only one in the family who doesn’t wear powder and doesn’t fit in.”
Yang Yu Cicada cursed: “Nonsense! What kind of fitting in is this!”
The hair dresser smiled as she listened to the two sisters tease each other, while Yang Yucicang cleaned up, instructing her to sit still and not move, then went to remove Yang Yuyan’s hair rolls, after removing them and applying a layer of hairspray, she said, “It’s done, I’m going to go and call for someone to come in and help you get dressed.”
A short while later, Zhang Ma came in to help Yang Yu Yan get dressed and said with a smile, “In a moment, you can stand on the balcony and look down, it’s going to be very lively.”
Yang Yuyan stood and stretched her arms as much as she could, drilled as much as she could, and asked, “What’s so exciting?”
Zhang Ma said, “Mrs. Liao brought Yu Yingda with her, he drove a car and parked it downstairs, saying he wanted to pick us up and take us to the Peace Hotel.”
Yang Yuyan and Yang Yucan both exclaimed, “What? To take his car?”
Zhang Ma hit Yang Yu Yan, “Stand still, let me finish. He parked his car there, and just now another Ford car from the Finance Bureau drove up! As soon as it came, it drove his car away. You guys guess who borrowed this car?”
What’s there to guess?
Yang Yuyan: “He also borrowed a car? He didn’t say.”
Yang Yuchan teased her and deliberately asked, “Who is he? Which him?”
