Upon hearing this, everyone seated in the living room looked over.
Especially Captain Zhao, who never knew the old woman had taken to wearing makeup at her age, yet she indeed looked quite attractive, seemingly much younger than before.
It’s just that her skin was a bit too white.
"Grandma looks pretty," Da Bao quickly said, offering compliments.
Zhao Tianhe and the others chimed in agreement.
Wang Yuemei also blinked her eyes.
"Yuemei, you should let your sister-in-law do your makeup too."
Wang Yuemei wanted to decline, but seeing how lovely the aunt looked, she was tempted to give it a try herself.
"Go have a look. If your sister-in-law isn’t too busy, she can do yours as well," Zhao Tianhe truly thought his sister-in-law had skill; she had helped fix his hair on his wedding day, and even plucked his eyebrows a bit, which really freshened up his appearance.
When Wang Yuemei entered the room, she saw the transformed figures, especially her little aunt, who was incredibly gorgeous. How could someone be that beautiful?
With her hair done up and soft curls framing her face, there was an alluring quality to it.
Yun Xiaoxiao glanced at the time on her wristwatch—her movements quickened, worried that the groom would arrive to pick up the bride before she finished the makeup.
Having done makeup for several people, she was getting even more proficient.
"Little Aunt, since you’ve never worn makeup before, it might feel a bit tight on your face, and you’ll want to rub it off, but you’ll get used to it after a while," she advised.
Little Aunt Zhao nodded, determined to maintain her look for the day.
"First apply some toner, then a bit of lotion..."
Zhang Lanhua knew Yun Xiaoxiao might be tired, so she followed her instructions and began to moisturize her face.
Wang Yuemei saw the array of makeup products on the table, none of which she had used before.
After she finished with their makeup, she felt her hands were almost out of strength.
Nevertheless, she managed to give herself a more natural, bare-faced makeup look.
"Help massage my arms, they’re too sore," she requested.
Zhao Tianlei saw his wife looking rather aggrieved and quickly began to massage her.
At this moment, noise started coming from outside.
The sound of firecrackers filled the air.
Wang Jianguo, in a Sun Yat-sen uniform, wore a smile on his face, followed by colleagues and a few cousins and nephews.
"Dad, Mom, I’ve come to pick up my wife."
Brother Cao was the one guarding the first door.
"Your voice isn’t loud enough," he declared.
Wang Jianguo laughed and repeated, "Dad, Mom, I’ve come to pick up my wife."
Those behind him joined in the teasing.
Brother Cao didn’t make it too hard for Wang Jianguo and opened the door to let them in.
"Brother Cao, thank you." Wang Jianguo handed Brother Cao a red envelope.
At the second door were Zhao Tianlei and Zhao Tianhe on guard duty.
"Sing a love song," they demanded.
Wang Jianguo was somewhat dumbfounded by the request.
He could sing, but love songs were truly not his forte.
He wanted to convince his two uncles to let him through, yet by their looks, it was apparent they were not going to budge.
"Brother, I know a few lines," one of the cousins interjected.
"Well, get on with it. Today’s a big day for our cousin," urged another.
So the cousin began, "Your smile is sweet, like flowers blooming in the spring breeze, blooming in the spring breeze..."
The song sounded a bit off, but since no one else could sing, they all had to endure and listen.
Zhao Tianlei was left speechless, wondering if the guy was tone-deaf.
"I could sing better than this..."
That was Xiao Bao speaking up.
He stood at the entrance with Da Bao and Er Dan, with their little aunt and others right behind the door.
"Where, where have I seen you before? Your smile is so familiar, I can’t quite remember for the moment..."
Wang Jianguo’s group of groomsmen, hearing a little kid sing better than any of them, felt quite embarrassed.
