Lin Wan didn’t feel embarrassed, but Han Yi’s ears were getting warm.
The early market didn’t last long, and by eight o’clock, people had already thinned out. Lin Wan stopped buying, and let Han Yi push the tricycle to start buying the ingredients needed for today’s shop.
The usual vendors always saved things for her, and normally she just needed to load them onto the tricycle and pay.
Before heading back, Lin Wan made a special stop at a breakfast stall to buy some fried dough sticks and steamed buns.
When they got home, Mom had already prepared the meal. Upon seeing Han Yi all of a sudden, she was once again surprised, Liang Hongmei and Lin Yinghui didn’t expect Han Yi to come so early. Judging by the looks, he must have returned from the early market with Xiao Wan.
"Hurry and wash your hands, quickly come eat," Liang Hongmei said warmly.
This time, Lin Yinghui’s attitude towards Han Yi was much better. After breakfast, Liang Hongmei urged Lin Wan to quickly change clothes, personally took out the household registration book, gave it to Lin Wan, and told them to hurry and get their marriage certificate.
Lin Wan had no choice but to change clothes. Under Liang Hongmei’s expectant gaze, she took the household registration book and headed out the door.
"Where should we go now?" Lin Wan asked Han Yi once they exited the alley.
"Wherever you want to go, I’ll be with you. I don’t have anything to do."
The two had long since obtained their certificates and were considered married. In their past life, they never held a wedding, which was Lin Wan’s biggest regret. At this stage, many aspects had changed.
"Why don’t we go take wedding photos?"
Han Yi was slightly taken aback, then nodded, "Sure. I’ve heard married comrades say that this is popular now."
So Lin Wan pulled Han Yi back home and said, "I made a wedding outfit myself, we can wear it for the photoshoot."
Han Yi’s eyes suddenly lit up, "You made it yourself?"
By the time they got home, Mom and Brother had already left. Lin Wan put the two outfits into a tote bag, and the two of them headed to the shop where they last took their wedding photos.
The wedding photo packages included several options: a five yuan black and white photo, a ten yuan black and white with a frame, and twenty and thirty yuan color photos. Lin Wan and Han Yi chose the twenty-yuan color photo package. Three outfits could be used. They could take one large framed photo to hang in their marital room and five smaller ones.
Because the bride had two outfits and the groom had his own suit, they got a one-yuan discount. And since Lin Wan was a regular customer, they were also given two extra two-inch black and white photos.
The photographer couldn’t help but smile when he saw Han Yi and Lin Wan. He loved taking photos of beautiful people, their facial features were so distinct that they hardly needed any touch-ups—they were already perfect!
Lin Wan and Han Yi picked out a wedding dress, and for Han Yi, they chose a robe from the Republican era.
The photographer’s assistant took Lin Wan to a small partitioned area to do her makeup. In those times, makeup was very heavy, with bright red lipstick, thick foundation, and very prominent blush. Thick eyebrows too.
The assistant was actually the photographer’s wife. The couple ran the photography studio near the civil affairs bureau, and their business was booming.
When the assistant finished, even though Lin Wan was prepared, she was still startled. "Ahem, um, can I redo it myself?"
The assistant hesitated for a moment, probably realizing it wasn’t great either, and took Lin Wan to wash her face.
Lin Wan didn’t do much makeup herself, just lightly filled in her eyebrows, drew an eyeliner, and applied striking red lipstick. She skipped the blush.
They started with a classic style, with Lin Wan’s hair down, braided at both sides like a refined princess. It matched perfectly with her pink dress.
