The wife took the baby to live with the military commander, and the commander washed diapers every d

"Sister-in-law Lu, what brings you here?" Shen Jingyue asked, somewhat surprised to see her.

Sister-in-law Lu smiled and said, "This girl just said you were going to do her makeup, so I said I'd come and see for myself."

She walked up to Chuncao and looked at her makeup, exclaiming, "Wow, this makeup looks really good! Your face looks so much whiter!"

"This is just the base makeup; I haven't applied any makeup yet. It will look even prettier when it's done."

Shen Jingyue began to apply makeup to her.

I also shaped her eyebrows. Her eyebrows are thick, and once shaped, they look great even without eyebrow powder.

Moreover, Chuncao has an oval face and very defined features. After working for half an hour, the bridal makeup was finally finished.

Sister-in-law Lu witnessed firsthand how Chuncao had become so beautiful in such a short time.

The whole person was stunned.

She had seen brides do their makeup before; the powder was applied like it was painted on a wall, and the eyebrows looked like two caterpillars.

And that flushed face doesn't look good at all; she looks better without makeup.

But looking at Chuncao's makeup now, she is definitely a very beautiful bride.

She looked completely different from when she wasn't wearing makeup.

"How is it? Are you done with your makeup?" Chuncao was a little itchy, wanting to see what she looked like now.

"So beautiful, so incredibly gorgeous!" Sister-in-law Lu exclaimed, her face full of amazement.

Shen Jingyue smiled and handed her a small mirror, gesturing for her to look at herself.

Chuncao took the mirror with some anticipation.

When Chuncao saw the person in the mirror, she could hardly believe it.

"Is...is this really me?"

Chuncao looked in the mirror at the person who looked so beautiful she didn't even resemble herself, and could hardly believe it.

"Of course it's you. You're already beautiful, and you look even better with makeup on." Shen Jingyue was also very satisfied with her masterpiece.

"Sister Shen, your skills are truly amazing! You can make a person look so beautiful with just a few casual strokes." Sister-in-law Lu exclaimed in amazement.

"Sister-in-law, you look so good! Please do my makeup like this on my wedding day." Chuncao really liked how she looked.

I feel like I look my best today.

"Okay, when you wear your wedding dress on your wedding day, I'll do your hair up. You'll look even more beautiful then, and I guarantee you'll be the most beautiful bride."

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Chuncao held the mirror, admiring herself in it with great delight. She looked so beautiful.

Soon it was Chuncao's wedding day. The house of Sister-in-law Lu was filled with joy, and many of her sisters-in-law came to help.

Shen Jingyue arrived early to do Chuncao's makeup, while Qin Xiang'an looked after the child.

Because Tan Jianguo is getting married today, Qin Xiang'an also took a day off to help out.

After Shen Jingyue finished doing Chuncao's makeup, she styled her hair into a bun and adorned it with a festive red flower.

When she changed into her red wedding dress, all the women in the house were stunned.

"Oh my, this is truly the most beautiful bride I've ever seen, Comrade Shen, your hands are so skillful!" one of the women exclaimed.

"Yes, she's the most beautiful bride I've ever seen."

Chuncao felt a little embarrassed by the praise, but she was also very happy.

Sister-in-law Lu was extremely proud and overjoyed.

"Alright, alright, now we just wait for the groom to arrive."

Weddings at this time were relatively simple, but Tan Jianguo, wanting to give Chuncao a perfect wedding, specially borrowed a bicycle to pick her up.

The sound of firecrackers crackling outside told everyone that the groom had arrived.

"He's here! The groom's here!" a child shouted from outside.

Chuncao inside the house immediately tensed up.

Shen Jingyue, who was right next to her, noticed that she suddenly became very nervous and whispered, "Don't be nervous."

Chuncao nodded, took a deep breath, and eased her inner tension.

A short while later, the groom was escorted in by the crowd.

Tan Jianguo was dressed in a military green uniform today, with a big red flower on his body. He walked in with a straight posture and a cheerful expression.

"Chuncao, I've come to pick you up."

"Tan Jianguo, my little sister is in your care from now on. If you dare to bully her, don't blame me for being ruthless," Lao Lu said sternly as he walked in.

"Yes, my little sister is marrying you, so you'd better treat her well from now on," Sister-in-law Lu added.

"Don't worry, elder brother and sister-in-law, I will definitely treat Chuncao well from now on and I will never bully him," Tan Jianguo said earnestly.

"Alright, bride, you may leave now."

Sister-in-law Lu helped Chuncao to her feet with a sense of relief.

Chuncao also looked up at Tan Jianguo.

When Tan Jianguo got closer and saw Chuncao's appearance, he was immediately stunned.

The crowd laughed and joked, "Look, even the groom is captivated by the bride!"

"Who wouldn't be mesmerized by such a beautiful bride?"

Tan Jianguo snapped out of his daze amidst the laughter of the crowd.

I felt a little embarrassed, but I still went over and took her hand as we walked out.

As soon as it came out, the crowd of onlookers became lively.

Many children, upon seeing the bride emerge, were all chattering about how beautiful she was.

Even the onlookers couldn't believe their eyes when they saw the bride; she was truly a beautiful bride.

Tan Jianguo specially rode his bicycle over, with a big red flower tied to it.

After the two got into the car, Tan Jianguo rode his bicycle with her towards his home amidst the sound of firecrackers.

A large group of people followed behind, along with the bride's dowry items, all of which were delivered together.

Tan Jianguo bought her a sewing machine and a watch.

Chuncao originally wanted to buy a bicycle, but she didn't want one because she couldn't ride one and there wasn't a place to ride one here.

However, Tan Jianguo did not treat her unfairly, and gave her the remaining items as betrothal money.

Lao Lu and his group naturally wouldn't keep the betrothal money for themselves.

Instead, Chuncao was given the dowry to accompany her.

The wedding banquet was held in the family compound that Tan Jianguo had applied for.

Most of the people from the family compound came, along with some leaders and Tan Jianguo's comrades-in-arms.

The courtyard was filled with food, and even the entrance was set up with many tables.

Qin Xiang'an and Shen Jingyue also took their child to the wedding banquet.

Today, Chuncao looks so beautiful that many people are discussing who did her makeup in their spare time.

If anyone knows, they'll say it's Qin, the deputy regimental commander's wife.

No one expected that Deputy Regiment Commander Qin's wife had such good skills; the painting was simply too beautiful.

Several days after the wedding banquet, Shen Jingyue was playing with her child in the yard.

Then they heard a knock on the door.

Shen Jingyue quickly went to open the door.

Upon opening the door, Shen Jingyue saw a woman she didn't quite recognize.

I know her, we've met before, but we've never spoken. This person is Zhong Mei, the younger sister of Battalion Commander Zhong.

"Who are you?"

Although Shen Jingyue had seen her before, it was only when she was out strolling with her child that she had caught a glimpse of her from afar and did not know her name.
