The bride's family was very polite. Seeing Li Mo and the other two came to welcome them immediately, they first served tea and fruit snacks to treat them politely. After Li Mo and the two drank some tea, they took Li Mo and Meizi to the bride's boudoir .
The bride's wedding dress has been put on, just wait for Li Mo to come over and put on makeup.
The bride's room was noisy, the seven aunts, the eight aunts and the children from various families were all there, chattering very loudly, seeing Li Mo's arrival made her even more excited, and she couldn't hear anyone's voice for a while.
Li Mo frowned slightly, and whispered to Yang Lanhua who was following: "Sister-in-law, can you please clean up one person, it's too noisy."
Yang Lanhua looked at the people in the room and frowned slightly, and hurriedly said in a low voice: "It's too noisy, our family has too many relatives, and there are too many children. We all get together for everything, and we can't be quiet when we talk. Come down, I'll go find my sister-in-law." It's not her marrying her daughter today, and it's not easy for her to make decisions, so she can only let her sister-in-law come.
Yang Lanhua left in a hurry, and brought the host's family over after a while.
The bride's mother smiled and said to the people in the room: "The big guys go out and have some tea and candy. There is no place to sit in this room. My girl will be dressing up later. The door of this room must be locked. Everyone If you have something to do, you can’t wait, or you won’t be able to get out.”
When everyone heard this, they understood the meaning of the host's family, and they took the children of the family out one after another, and some of them didn't leave because they wanted to see the bride's make-up. However, there were not too many people left, and it was not so noisy, so the host didn't insist, let them stay.
After watching Yang Lanhua lock the door, Li Mo opened the makeup box, and began to cleanse the bride's face first.
This time the bride looks like a normal peasant girl, just like the bride Meizi will transform into in the future, she is suitable for Meizi to learn, therefore, when Li Mo was transforming, she deliberately simplified the steps, and then slowed down her movements so that Meizi could take care of herself. See, it's an experience.
It took Li Mo half an hour to put on the bride's make-up. Needless to say, the bride was very satisfied, and the people around her were also full of praise, saying that any married daughter would also look for Li Mo.
Li Mo watched, pulled Meizi with a smile, and said to those who said they wanted to ask her for makeup: "This is my sister, and she is also a makeup girl. In the future, if there is a girl in your family who wants to get married and put on makeup, you can come to my sister, my sister The craftsmanship is also very good. If you want to, you can directly send a message to Sister Lanhua."
Everyone has never seen Li Mo before, this is the first time seeing Li Mo, and they are not very familiar with Li Mo's reputation, now seeing Li Mo make the bride look so good, they are all tempted to say that there will be a girl who wants to marry in the future Li Mo puts on makeup. Now Li Mo said that Meizi is also a makeup girl, and her makeup is also very good. Naturally, she will not doubt it. I only know that the sisters in this family are good at craftsmanship. They all nodded and said that it was time to send a message to Yang Lanhua.
Li Mo glanced at Meizi with a smile, this Meizi's first step of putting on makeup was taken.
After putting on the makeup for the bride, Li Mo didn't stay any longer, and said goodbye to Yang Lanhua and the host's family who were still staying here with Meizi, and the two hurried back home.
On the way, Li Mo asked: "Meizi, just saw me putting makeup on the bride, do you have any ideas? If you come to put on makeup, how do you plan to do it?"
Meizi thought for a while, and said, "If I were the one doing the makeup for the bride just now, I would focus on the bride's base makeup, because the bride's skin is a little dark and rough, as long as the base makeup is done well, the overall look will be much better; Also, the bride's cheekbones are a bit high, so she needs to cover them up."
After Mei Zi finished speaking, she looked at Li Mo nervously, waiting for Li Mo's comment.
Li Mo smiled and nodded, "That's right, you're right, those two points just now are indeed the main flaws on the bride's face, and I also focused on dealing with these two points when I transformed."
In fact, the bride has other shortcomings, but it is already very good that Meizi can grasp the two main points. If these two points are handled well, the bride will definitely be much more beautiful, and it is impossible for people to be dissatisfied. This is enough for Meizi .
Hearing her sister-in-law's affirmation, Meizi's confidence increased greatly, her eyes lit up, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily curled up, revealing her big white teeth, like a little girl.
Seeing Meizi's happy look, Li Mo also smiled.
At this time, Meizi looked at the rice fields on both sides of the road, and said to Li Mo: "Sister-in-law, rice harvesting has already started in the village, I went to your field yesterday to see that it is ready to harvest, when do you and brother plan to harvest? It just so happens that Tiezi and I are here, we can cut together, and we can get the rice back soon, without you and my brother having to work so hard for so long."
Hearing Meizi's words, Li Mo was stunned, and turned his eyes to the fields on both sides of the road, only to find that the rice fields were all yellow, and not far away, someone was already busy in the fields.
It was only then that Li Mo remembered that it was indeed time to harvest the rice.
She was so busy making up that she didn't notice what happened in the field. If Meizi hadn't told her, she wouldn't have remembered it.
"Have the villagers already started harvesting rice?" Li Mo murmured.
Meizi nodded, "In the past few days, some people in the village have started to cut rice one after another. In two days, everyone should start to cut. I went to the field a few times, and the rice at home is ripe and ready to cut. Sister-in-law, let's Hurry up, don't delay."
Li Mo nodded, since the rice is ripe, it cannot be delayed. But because she was busy forgetting and didn't notice that the rice was ripe, she didn't have time to ask someone to help cut the rice in advance according to her previous idea. Now it's too late to find someone, so she can only cut the rice at home.
Seeing Li Mo's expressionless face, Mei Zi asked, "What's wrong, sister-in-law?"
Li Mo slowly shook her head, "It's okay, your brother and I will cut the rice, you and Tiezi don't delay things because of us, Tiezi earns a lot of money by carrying burdens and selling goods every day, don't delay."
Meizi shook her head, "Sister-in-law, what's the delay? People from ten miles and eight villages have started to harvest rice in the past few days. There is no one at home. Who cares about shopping with the shopkeeper? Tiezi's business is not good these days. It is estimated that no one will stay at home to buy things in a few days, and there will be no business until the rice harvest is over, so Tiezi will not sell goods these days, so cut your rice first."
Li Mo thinks about it, harvesting rice is a big deal in this village, no matter men, women, old or young, they all go to the fields to do farm work, everyone has gone to the fields, there are indeed no people in the village, and there is no time to buy things from the peddler.
It is estimated that Song Dashan will have no business pulling carts. Everyone has to go to the fields. No one has time to go to the town market.
If Tie Zi and Mei Zi were there to help, it would be a lot easier, even if you don't ask for help, you won't be tired. There are not many fields at home now, and it will take less than two days for a few people to cut them, and they will not be tired, so this year, I can cut them by myself. When I buy more fields in the future, I can rent them out to others, so I don’t have to do it myself. up.
Thinking of this, Li Mo nodded, "Okay, I'll make arrangements when I get back, and I can cut the rice back home in the next few days."
When the two returned home, Song Dashan had already returned.
Li Mo asked him about rice harvesting, Song Dashan nodded, "It's time, people in the village have already started these two days, and I originally planned to start harvesting these two days."
Li Mo looked at Song Dashan's legs with worried eyes, "Dashan, can you cut rice with this leg? The doctor said you can't use your strength, so don't go." He can take his two children at home and do it by the way Rice, so that the legs will not be tired.
As if he knew what Li Mo was thinking, Song Dashan patted Li Mo's head, "Don't worry, the waist and arms are exhausted from cutting rice, and the legs are nothing. I will pay attention to using the other leg to exert strength, and go to the side to rest from time to time. It won't hurt my legs, I know it."
"But..." Li Mo wanted to say something, swallowed it again, and nodded: "Okay, let's cut it the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow I will go to the town to put on makeup, and by the way, I will tell the proprietress that the rice at home will be cut. I'll go back to the shop."
Song Dashan shook his head without thinking, "You don't need to cut it, I can do it, you can go to the town to put on makeup or rest at home." Song Dashan never thought of letting Li Mo go to the fields, she can't even do housework Great, how about cutting rice? He was reluctant to part with the skinny and tender flesh that could have worn out his hands with a sickle.
Seeing Song Dashan feel sorry for Li Mo, Meizi snickered beside him.
Her brother, she always thought he was a lump of elm before, and she was worried that he would never find a wife again. I didn't expect him to be so tender, it seems that he has never met his sister-in-law.
Seeing Mei Zi laughing, Li Mo gave Song Dashan a bad look, didn't talk to him, and just settled down.
Although she can't do farm work well, she can't watch her family do it and enjoy herself like a princess. Usually it's just the two of them at home, and it's okay for Song Dashan to spoil her like a princess, but now that his younger sister and brother-in-law are all there, it's impossible to do that.
The next day, Song Dashan told the villagers when he was pulling the cart that he would not pull the cart for the next three days, and would pull it again in three days, so that everyone could buy whatever they wanted to buy quickly today.
The villagers had the same idea at first, and they all planned to buy what they lacked at home today, and then buy some meat, so that the family can eat better when they work hard.
Li Mo thought the same way, she had to work hard these days and had to eat well, so she asked Song Dashan to go to the butcher shop to buy more meat to take home, while she went to the shop to put on makeup.
After putting on makeup all day, Li Mo told the proprietress that she would come back to the shop in three days.
Harvesting rice is a major event, so the proprietress will naturally not say anything.
Everything was ready, and on the second day, the family went to the field with a sickle.
The two little guys were also taken to the field together. No one at home took care of the two, so they didn't feel at ease if they didn't take them away.
Li Mo specially took an old sheet from home, spread the sheet under a tree beside the field, then took off the shoes of the two little guys, put them on it, and put the water and food they brought Put it on the bed sheet and let the two little ones play together obediently.
The two little guys are also good, just sitting under the tree and playing together, Xiao Bao even took out the small wooden stick that he carried with him, and taught the little tree to do arithmetic like a little teacher.
Several adults looked at them and laughed at the same time, and then they began to dig the rice.
Li Mo had never cut rice in her previous life, and this was her first time holding a sickle. At the beginning, she was a little curious and excited, and started to cut rice seriously like Song Dashan with the sickle.
Song Dashan adjusted Li Mo's posture, explained the key to cutting rice by the way, and cut Li Mo's hand a few times, so that Li Mo learned how to cut it clumsily.
It was alright at first, but after holding on for half an hour, Li Mo felt that her waist could hardly straighten up, her eyes were wet with sweat, and her hand holding the sickle was also aching, maybe it was going to be blistered.
It was only at this time that Li Mo deeply understood the poem "Who knows that every piece of Chinese food is hard work."
She just mowed for a few hours, and those farmers who had to work hard for many days in a row didn't know how tired they would be.
Looking at Song Dahou, Tiezi and Meizi who were cutting their heads non-stop, Li Mo was suddenly glad that she had a skill in makeup. If she had majored in physics, chemistry and English in modern times, she would have come here Will he be starved to death? Coupled with the fact that I have no strength to restrain a chicken, my back can't stand my shoulders, and I can't pick it up, I'm going to be disgusted to death, maybe I meet a bad man, and I have to be divorced immediately.
She is still lucky, she has a skill and at the same time met a good man.
Thinking in her heart, Li Mo didn't stop moving her hands, everyone was doing it, so she was too embarrassed to rest.
Suddenly, Li Mo's waving sickle was stopped by someone, Li Mo looked up and saw that Song Dashan was coming.
Song Dashan took the sickle from Li Mo's hand, opened Li Mo's palm, saw the red palm, frowned, and couldn't help rubbing it gently in her palm.
Li Mo was a little embarrassed, and shrank her hands back.
Song Dashan spoke harshly for the first time, "Don't move, let me see."
Li Mo could only softly say: "I'm fine, don't worry."
Song Dashan's eyebrows still didn't relax, he lowered his head and rubbed it for Li Mo for a while, and then he spoke: "You can't do this well, don't be brave, don't cut it, just follow us and tie up the rice we cut , save us from tying it ourselves."
To bind rice, you just need to tie a bundle of cut rice with rice rope so that you can pick it up later. It’s very simple. This Li Mo can do it, but it’s usually the work of eight or nine-year-old children in the family. Now she can only do it. Can you do this...
Seeing Li Mo's hesitation, Song Dashan touched her blushing face, and coaxed: "Don't be brave, there is not much rice in the house, and it won't take long to finish it. You are not missing. Be good."
Li Mo was slightly embarrassed by Song Dashan's words to coax the child, but finally nodded and obediently went to tie the rice.
It was noon, and seeing that it was almost time to make lunch, Li Mo said to Meizi who was still cutting wheat: "Meizi, it's almost noon, you and I can go home and cook together, and I'll bring them food later."
By the way, let Meizi also go home to rest, so as not to get tired. As for Song Dashan and Tiezi, I also knew that these two men were unwilling to go home and rest.
Before Li Mo left, she said to Song Dashan and Tiezi: "You two go to the child's place to have a rest, drink some water, cut later, and we will bring you food later."
Song Dashan knew that Li Mo was worried about his legs, so he nodded, grabbed Tie Zi, went ashore, and went straight to rest under the tree.
Li Mo was relieved, and then took Meizi home to cook.
At noon, the two of them made braised pork, seaweed pork ribs soup, copied a vegetarian dish, and went to the field with a big jar full of rice.
Put the rice on the bed sheets, distribute a bowl and a pair of chopsticks to several people, and the family sat around to eat together.
Other families around who were also eating in the field looked sideways when they saw their food, and some even joked: "Dashan, your food is so delicious that we can't even eat it."
Song Dashan smiled, "My wife made it, come and try it?"
Everyone was just joking, how could they really go to eat other people's food, of course they shook their heads and refused.
It's just a joke in the field, which makes the mood of the people who have been working for half a day better.
Li Mo ate less and finished eating first. She sat down in front of Song Dashan, lifted his leg onto her own, opened her trouser legs, and touched his leg, "Does it hurt? Did you use your legs today?" ?”
Song Dashan had a smile in his eyes, "It's okay, I'm all supported by my right leg today, and I didn't press my left leg at all. Don't worry, we finally met. How can I make fun of my legs."
After two treatments, Song Dashan's leg has obviously improved a lot. His leg is no longer bruised and purple, but gradually turned red. He is not so limping these days, and he is obviously better. The whole family is very happy.
Seeing that his legs are really not doing well now, Li Mo is relieved, looking at the rice fields that will be finished in half a day, and heaves a sigh of relief.
Even if Song Dashan's legs get better next year, he won't be farming by himself next year.
