Zhou Xing had no choice but to look at her face and took a step back. "That's fine. You don't even have a mole on your face. It's very clean. You don't need to put on powder. Just put on some rouge. Wait a minute, I'll trim your eyebrows first."
Seeing that she stopped smearing the stuff on her face, Zhou Guo let her do as she pleased. He looked outside and saw that it was getting light, and there was still a lot to do.
"Oh, let me see, the tomboy is also drawing her eyebrows and eyes today." Chen came in and laughed when she saw this scene.
Zhou Guo and Zhou Xing both call her Aunt Chen.
Zhou Xing said, "It's rare that she's willing to sit down and let me do whatever I want. It's not like that at normal times. She's gone in the morning and I can't find her."
Chen smiled and looked her up and down, left and right, her face full of smiles, "Oh my goodness, I see you every day, how come I didn't know when you grew up like this? It's true that girls change a lot when they grow up, and they become more and more beautiful. When I first saw you, you were thin and dark, with a bald head, like a little monk. Now you are like a juicy flower, like a young lady!"
Zhou Guo looked at himself in the bronze mirror again and said, "Aunt, although my face is pretty, it's not this pretty, right? Are you exaggerating? I've seen a young lady from a wealthy family. Her every move is like that of a person in a painting. She's elegant and pretty."
Chen said, "If you take smaller steps, move more gently, speak more slowly and quietly, and eat less, wouldn't you be like a lady from a noble family?"
Zhou Guo's brows furrowed as she listened. At the end, she waved her hands and said, "Forget it, forget it. I'm not a lady from a wealthy family anyway. Why should I pretend to be a lady from a wealthy family? I'm just bored."
Chen and Zhou Xing laughed, "You are reluctant to give up your bowls of rice, right?"
Zhou Guo said confidently, "I worked so hard running around just to fill my stomach, but now I'm full and I'm going to starve again just to look like a lady from a wealthy family. Isn't this just looking for trouble? Besides, what's good about being a lady from a wealthy family? There are so many rules and regulations that you can't do this or that, it's like being in prison. It's better for me to be like this."
You don't have to worry about food and clothing, and you have a little money to spend on your hobbies. You don't have to be bound by any constraints and can do whatever you want. This is a godly life.
Chen said: "Although we don't know what kind of life a lady from a noble family leads, every day she has endless delicious food to eat, endless new clothes to wear, endless gold and silver jewelry to wear, and servants to serve her when she goes out..."
After a pause, he said, "Come to think of it, your life now is almost like that of a lady from a wealthy family."
Zhou Xing had already drawn her eyebrows, a pair of thin willow-leaf eyebrows, but they were too thin. They always looked a bit abrupt and out of place on her face.
I simply took the eyebrow pencil and started drawing it myself, with a nose and eyes.
Zhou Xing was stunned. After a while, she saw that she was drawing better than her and asked, "When did you learn how to draw eyebrows?"
Zhou Guo said as he painted in front of the mirror: "Why can't I do this? I can do it with my hands, right?"
Chen sighed, "It's not something you can do just by having hands. I'm so old, but I'm still not very good at painting. It turns out that capable people can do anything well. Okay, I'm going to go out and get busy. You two sisters can have fun."
Then he got up and went out.
After a short while, Zhou Guo had finished drawing a pair of eyebrows.
It is neither thin nor thick, and it is curved above the eyes, which matches the whole face very well.
Zhou Xing studied it for a while and nodded, "Well, it's better than the one I drew. It turns out that eyebrows without thin eyebrows can also look good."
She only knows how to draw one kind of eyebrows, which is to make them thin and long.
Zhou Guo said: "Eyebrows are like clothes, they have to suit you. My eyebrows are not suitable for everyone."
Looking at Zhou Xing, he became interested and said, "Sister, sit down. I will try to draw one for you."
Zhou Xing smiled and said, "Okay, then you have to draw it better for me."
The two changed positions.
Zhou Guogang picked up the eyebrow pencil and looked into her eyes. "You haven't washed your face yet, go wash your face."
Looking at the rouge and powder on her desk, she became interested. By the way, she hadn't painted for many years and almost forgot about it.
Less than half an hour later.
After Zhou Guo finished his work, he looked at the fair and tender face in front of him and couldn't help feeling very satisfied. After so many years, she could still be picked up again. At least it looked much better than Zhou Xing's technique of painting a white wall.
He took out the bronze mirror and said, "Okay, let's take a look."
Zhou Xing looked at the person in the mirror, blinked, and couldn't help but put her hands on her face, "Is this me?"
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "If it's not you, then who is it? Does it look good?"
Zhou Xing nodded repeatedly, "It looks great. How did you draw it? Why is it completely different from what I drew myself? I didn't know I could become like this. You have to teach me."
Zhou Guo said: "Teach! I will teach you! It's not possible now. We have to go out and help. There are too many guests today."
Zhou Xing looked at the mirror happily, "How could I not know? Let's go and get to work."
At this time, the whole family got up and went to the village to borrow tables, chairs and benches, and cleaned the yard and the house. There were many people, so there were many tables. If the yard was not enough, they could set up two tables in their own rooms. All the valuable items were moved to the main house and Zhou Mai and others' rooms.
There are so many books and things in their rooms that they can't move them all. In order to prevent the children from going in and making trouble, the rooms have to be locked.
All the wine in the old man's room was moved to Zhou Guo and Zhou Xing's rooms.
The east and west wings of the main house, as well as Zhou Mai and Zhou Mi's rooms, were all locked.
The rest of the house is tidied up.
And heated the kang.
As soon as the family finished cleaning up, people started arriving one after another.
The villagers were the first to arrive. They all knew there would be a lot of people today, so they all came to help.
Li and the kitchen staff simply heated up the leftovers from yesterday and everyone ate them and started working together.
One pot was not enough, so two large pots were set up in the yard, for making hot tea, steaming buns, and cooking.
At the beginning of the Si hour, the head of the village and his entourage arrived.
Zhou Dacang, along with Zhou Gu, Zhou Mai, Zhou Guo and others, came forward to greet them.
There were many people following behind the old village chief.
Zhou Dacang greeted them one by one, led them to the yard and then into the house, where the kang had already been heated and hot tea and snacks were also prepared.
Everyone entered the house, looked at the furnishings in the house, sat down on the kang, drank tea, ate melon seeds and snacks, and couldn't help sighing. In the past few years since they were apart, Zhou Dacang's family had become very different. Year after year, they were left far behind. Looking at the house that was built and the complete New Year's food prepared, even dried meat was available.
After they built their house, their lives were better than those of ordinary people, but definitely not like this. They could not eat whatever they wanted, nor could they be so generous, and they dared not eat and dress like this.
