Chapter 284 A happy day

Two days later, Shen Xiaobin and Lu Xiangxiang got married.

Su Xiaomei had surgery and was not discharged from the hospital yet, she was only one day late. However, she survived the ordeal and has no regrets. She is very happy that her children are by her side!
The Shen family hired a chef to prepare the wedding banquet, and Shen Meng was fully responsible for purchasing. Shen Fugui and Wang Guizhi also felt that it was ok to leave it to her. After all, she knew a lot of people and might be able to buy some good things.

Sure enough, Shen Meng brought twenty chickens, one hundred kilograms of fish, fifty kilograms of bean sprouts and tofu, as well as some delicacies from land and sea, vegetables, fruits, and the chef's eyes lit up when he saw them. When he cooked before, the host could not produce any decent dishes.

He has no place to display his skills.

Now that this family has made so many things, he must show his skills and become famous. In the future, whenever there are weddings or funerals in this area, he will be the first chef that people think of.

Shen Meng also sent some to the Lu family. Naturally, they said that they bought some extra and were afraid that there were not enough here, so they sent some over.

Zhu Juying's hands were shaking as she looked at the baskets of food and drinks.

"Oh, Xiao Meng, why did your parents send so much? They sent 20 chickens alone. That's too much. As for the meat and other things, we don't have many relatives in our family, so there's no need to prepare so many dishes."

"Aunt, just keep cooking. If you can't use up all the chickens and fish, give them to my big brother Xiangxiang and his family, or you can keep them yourself. My parents are so happy that after so long, they can finally marry Xiangxiang home. I asked someone to go door to door to buy all these old things, and some of them were exchanged. You can't let anyone know!"

"Yes, yes, I can't tell you. I can't tell you. Well, these are all bought from rich families. Look at the chickens they raise. They are really fat."

Shen Meng: "Yes!"

The Lu family wants to marry off their daughter, and the Shen family wants to marry a daughter-in-law.

Both families hired suona bands, hoping to get the event off to a lively start.

Shen Fugui and Wang Guizhi returned to the village from the county town early in the morning. Before leaving, they stuffed two dollars into Shen Shoutian's pocket and asked him to prepare lunch for Su Xiaomei. It was a happy occasion at home, so they couldn't go back for the banquet, but they also couldn't treat themselves badly.

Lu Zhenping was not at home, so Shen Mengxian took her four children to Lu Xiangxiang's house to wait for the morning meal. People gathered around the suona, watching the fun.

There were some bottles and jars on Lu Xiangxiang's desk, and Shen Meng was using an eyebrow pencil to put on makeup for her.

You can’t wear too obvious makeup these days, otherwise people will tell you the next day that the bride is wearing makeup like a monster at her wedding.

She applied some vanishing cream, a layer of bare face cream, then slightly trimmed her eyebrows, outlined them with an eyebrow pencil, put on some eyeliner, applied a layer of goose egg powder on her cheeks, a little bit of blush, and a light layer of lip gloss on her lips.

Her hair was tied up in a low bun with two small red flowers inserted on it, and two small silver earrings hung on her ears.

The whole makeup is completed.

He changed into a brand new padded jacket, with a red coat on the outside, black pants underneath, red cloth shoes, and a big red flower pinned on his chest.

Lu Xiangxiang looked at herself in the mirror and sighed over and over again.

"Sister-in-law, your makeup is so good. How can you be so amazing? I can't believe that I can look so good."

"What's so unbelievable about this? You are already very beautiful, and all these are embellishments on your face. Seeing that you are going to get married, I really can't bear to let you go. From now on, I will have one less confidant. If you are not satisfied with anything in our family, just tell me. If Xiaobin has done anything wrong, just complain. My parents and I will take care of it for you. Don't think that it is my home and you can tolerate it. Don't do that. The most important thing is that you live comfortably." Lu Xiangxiang's eyes turned red when she heard this, and she threw herself into Shen Meng's arms.

"Sister-in-law, thank you, thank you so much. Our family can have the good life we ​​have now, and it is inseparable from your support. Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will be filial to my parents and take good care of Xiaobin after I get married."

"Oh, I get it. You are getting married today, so you are not allowed to cry. When you cry at the wedding ceremony, try not to cry, or your aunt and uncle will see you and feel bad."

"Ok!"

Shen Meng put all the makeup items on the table into a cloth bag.

"These are for you. When you become a leader in the food factory, you will need to learn how to put on proper makeup when meeting with leaders. It will not be bad for you in the future."

Lu Xiangxiang held the cosmetic bag and nodded heavily at Shen Meng.

"Thank you, sister."

Shen Meng smiled. She was still a little uncomfortable with the sudden change of tone. Lu Xiangxiang could tell that Shen Meng wanted her to work hard in the food workshop and would support her in the future.

The two sisters didn't chat for long before Zhu Juying outside started urging them.

"Xiangxiang, are you done? Open the door. Many relatives are here and are waiting to see us. Say hello."

"Hey, okay mom, let's start now!"

As soon as Lu Xiangxiang opened the door, the relatives standing at the door began to exclaim, "Oh my, so beautiful!" Originally, Lu Xiangxiang's face was painted with blush, but with so many people watching, her face instantly turned red. Shen Meng looked at her with some regret. Why would such a fresh and tender girl need blush!
After greeting a few people, Huang Maochun, who was always arrogant and domineering, also came over with two crumpled pieces of money in his hand.

Zhu Juying saw the smile on her face fade, and thinking that it was her daughter's wedding day, she didn't drive her away with a cold face even if she was annoyed.

"I heard that the daughter-in-law of this family is a troublemaker."

"You heard me right. A good family didn't get a good daughter-in-law. Now that the family has split up, life is hard. I heard that they have come to the door many times to ask for help from someone to get the old lady a job in the hairpin factory. So, can we let her in?"

"The requirements at the hairpin factory are very strict. My daughter works there. She gets a salary of about 10 yuan a month, half of which she gives home and the other half she saves for her dowry."

"Old lady, you don't seem to be embarrassed to use your daughter's money to support the family."

"What's there to be ashamed of? I didn't spend all of it on the family. I also saved some money for her. It's hard for a family to live on work points alone. My daughter gave it to me voluntarily. She's a good child. How could I treat her badly?"

When the others heard this, they changed the subject.

Shen Meng raised her eyebrows when she heard this. The people her hairpin factory recruited were all those whose families were fair to their children. However, for girls, it was actually extremely difficult to get fairness. What the lady just said was already very good.

But finally, some results were achieved. Who doesn't want to live a good life? Most of the workers recruited in their hairpin factory were female. When Guo Xiuqin went to recruit workers, her attitude was clear. She wanted the female workers in her factory to earn money to support the family. She didn't want anyone who could take advantage of daughters or wives. She would rush to recruit families that were harmonious and treated their daughters as human beings.

Those who want to live a good life naturally have role models. Whether it is sincere or fake, she feels it is meaningful to improve the treatment of female comrades.
