Li Mo finished her lunch and took a nap, then got up and went to the beauty room in front to give the guests a beauty treatment.
She called Sister-in-law Qin along, and asked Sister-in-law Qin to learn from her.
Wash your hands before getting a beauty treatment. Li Mo said to Sister-in-law Qin while washing her hands: "This beauty treatment is much simpler than makeup. It doesn't require so much talent, and it can be learned with diligence. It has a fixed procedure. , It’s right to follow these steps. But it doesn’t mean that you can do well after memorizing the steps. The beauty effect can be good or bad. If you want the effect to be good, you must master the techniques of beauty treatment.”
After saying that, Li Mo washed her hands, dried the water on them with a clean towel, and then continued: "Today, you just watch me do it, and try to observe my techniques during the beauty treatment. After I finish the treatment for the guests, I will carefully I will teach you the techniques in detail, and then you can try it yourself."
Qin's sister-in-law nodded seriously, "Okay, I will definitely watch it carefully, and I will ask you later if I don't know or don't understand."
After explaining to Mrs. Qin, Li Mo began to make beauty for the first guest.
Today, I only need to do beauty treatments for four guests, and Li Mo wants to teach Sister-in-law Qin, so I deliberately slowed down when doing it, and explained to Sister-in-law Qin while doing complicated things, and finally applied the facial mask. During the first step, Li Mo took advantage of the time when the customer was making a mask, and said to Sister-in-law Qin: "The mask in the last step is very important for the beauty of the skin, but when choosing a mask, it should be based on the customer's skin. It’s different. For example, if someone’s skin is very dry, you should focus on replenishing water to make her skin hydrated, so that the skin of the customer can look good. So at this time, you should use a moisturizing mask, such as This customer is now using a hydrating mask."
Qin's sister-in-law nodded and continued to listen to Li Mo.
"Some customers' skin problems are not due to lack of water, but not fair enough. If you want to make your customers fair, in addition to removing impurities and dirt on the customers' faces, the last step is to use a whitening mask. Mask, if you do it for a long time, it will become whiter."
Sister-in-law Qin nodded: "I know this, I remember every mask with different effects clearly."
While talking, the guest's facial mask was applied, Li Mo washed off the mask on her face, and then applied a skin care beauty cream on her, and the guest's beauty treatment was completed.
Li Mo then called the next customer who had made an appointment to come in, and then started to do it again, so that Sister-in-law Qin could seriously observe it again.
The beauty treatments of the four guests were soon completed, and it was still early at this time.
Li Mo closed the door of the beauty room, leaving her and Sister-in-law Qin alone, and then explained the steps of beauty treatment to Sister-in-law Qin in detail, and asked her to lie down on the beauty bed after she remembered it.
If you want to learn cosmetology well, you must be familiar with the feeling of cosmetology, so that you can learn to master the technique and strength of cosmetology, so Li Mo plans to do cosmetology for Sister-in-law Qin, and then explain and explain to her while doing it, so as to deepen her understanding. her studies.
Qin's sister-in-law's face is the same as most women in the village nowadays, it is rough and slightly dark, which belongs to the general skin, so when Li Mo is doing her beauty treatment, she focuses on explaining how to take care of and improve this kind of skin, and then asks her to use her heart Get a feel for your technique and strength.
After finishing the work, Sister-in-law Qin's understanding has indeed improved a lot, and she is even a little eager to try.
Li Mo smiled slightly, went straight to lie down on the beauty bed, and said to Sister-in-law Qin, "Come on, give me a beauty treatment according to what I just taught you."
Qin's sister-in-law was a little dumbfounded, "Sister, you... you let me try it yourself?"
"Yeah, come on, I just want to see how you're doing, and I'll tell you if there's something wrong."
Qin's sister-in-law rubbed her hands subconsciously, suddenly feeling a little nervous when the situation came to an end.
Li Mo comforted her and said: "Sister-in-law is fine, just follow the steps I taught you, you have seen that I have done it so many times, you have mastered the basics, the rest is to practice more, as the saying goes, practice makes perfect, What you have to do now is to seize every opportunity to try. Only by practicing more can you get started as soon as possible. Sister-in-law, my body is getting heavier, and the business of this shop is still waiting for you to maintain it. You have to hurry up. "
Hearing what Li Mo said, Qin's sister-in-law realized the great responsibility she had, she collected herself, suppressed the tension in her heart, and sat down on the stool.
Li Mo said: "Sister-in-law, the first thing you need to do is analyze my skin, and then think about how to improve my skin."
Qin's sister-in-law carefully observed Li Mo's face for a while, she was a little dumbfounded, "Sister, your skin is very fair and supple, there is nothing on your face, I can't think of how to improve it. "
Seeing Sister-in-law Qin's unfavorable appearance, Li Mo smiled, and said after laughing: "I am the type whose skin is relatively good and doesn't need to be improved too much, but it doesn't mean that I can't improve. You can do all the steps you need to do, but you don’t need to spend so much time to remove impurities and dirty things. You can simply pass it through. If you do too much, it will easily hurt the skin. When you make the mask at the end, you Just choose a hydrating mask, you have to remember that hydrating is suitable for everyone, and it won’t be damaged.”
Hearing what Li Mo said, Qin's sister-in-law nodded in resignation, "So that's the case, okay, I understand, I will do as you said now."
Saying that, Qin's sister-in-law picked up the cleansing soap and started cleaning Li Mo's face.
Sister-in-law Qin did it step by step according to the steps taught by Li Mo. Without Li Mo's reminder, she did a good job, except that during the massage, the technique was slightly wrong and the strength was not the most appropriate.
Aiming at these two points, Li Mo explained to Sister-in-law Qin again, and then demonstrated to Sister-in-law Qin in front of her own face.
The next thing is to rely on Mrs. Qin to comprehend and practice a lot.
For the next few days, Li Mo would ask Sister-in-law Qin to follow her to study every day, and let her try it out by herself after learning. The beauty of the guests will not disgrace the name of the shop.
Then, Li Mo decided to officially ask Sister-in-law Qin to start doing beauty treatments for the guests.
In order for Sister-in-law Qin to successfully take the first step of beauty treatment, Li Mo specially invited Lin Xiaoyu and Yueniang to come over to support Sister-in-law Qin, and asked Sister-in-law Qin to do beauty treatment for Lin Xiaoyu and Yueniang in front of other guests.
Everyone saw that Qin's sister-in-law did well. Not only was her technique skillful and smooth, but Lin Xiaoyu's and Yueniang's faces had indeed improved after finishing the work. They were also very satisfied with Qin's skills, and everyone believed Qin Sister-in-law, she also began to feel relieved to let Sister-in-law Qin do beauty for them, and it was not because she had to choose Li Mo.
With Mrs. Qin doing beauty treatments in the store, Li Mo was completely relieved, and the burden on her body was reduced a lot. She simply put on a few customers' makeup every morning and rested at other times. It was very relaxing. Let Song Dashan go to the city to see his legs, and there is no need to close the business on purpose.
With the treatment, Song Dashan's legs are getting better and better, and now they are basically fully recovered, and he no longer walks with a limp like before.
Song Dashan saw that he was recovering, and he didn't plan to go to the city to see his legs anymore, but Li Mo was worried, and he insisted on treating him ten times, so he let him continue.
And this treatment before Chinese New Year happened to be the tenth time.
When Li Mo and Song Dashan came back from their last leg treatment, the streets were already filled with the smell of Chinese New Year.
New Year is coming.
This is Li Mo's first New Year in this world, and also the first New Year with her family. Li Mo attaches great importance to it and plans to spend this year well.
Sister-in-law Qin and Huzi didn't want to go back to the village, so Li Mo asked their mothers to stay in the town to celebrate the New Year, and Da Ni and Aunt Wu must also celebrate the New Year here. Meizi's family of three also called to come to the town to celebrate the New Year. They were full of family members and had a good time in the town.
Song Dashan was afraid that too many people buying New Year's goods on the street would offend Li Mo, and refused to let her go to the street to buy New Year's goods in person, so Li Mo had no choice but to give the money to Aunt Wu, and asked her to take Dani to the street to buy New Year's goods, and she Taking over Dani's job, she stayed in the leisure room selling snacks and tea.
As the end of the new year is approaching, women in every household are busy, so there are fewer people playing in the leisure room with their children, and the leisure room is not so lively. Li Mo plans to close the business on the twenty-eighth day of the new year. People close their doors to prepare for the New Year, and they will reopen after the fifteenth day of the coming year.
Li Mo wrote this notice on a piece of paper and asked Song Dashan to post it outside for the guests to see.
However, although there are fewer people playing in the leisure room, there are not a lot of people who come to the shop for makeup and beauty treatment, especially beauty treatment. There are so many people who make appointments every day. There is no other reason. Women want to take advantage of the New Year to dress up Dress yourself up and live a beautiful new year, just like in modern times, there are always a lot of women in barbershops, beauty salons, and clothing stores before the New Year.
Qin's sister-in-law now begins to do beauty treatments for customers every day from the opening of the shop. Except for lunch at noon, she has to be busy until the shop closes at night. She is so busy that she can't stop. However, she didn't feel tired, instead she was full of energy, just because Li Mo paid Sister-in-law Qin's wages according to the rule of more work, more pay. Therefore, Qin's sister-in-law has done a particularly vigorous job, and her life has become more hopeful.
She hopes to save a lot of money so that she can buy Huzi a house and let him marry a wife.
Not only the beauty business in the store was affected by the Chinese New Year, but also the sale of rouge and gouache was extremely hot. Those women who were usually reluctant to buy some rouge and gouache also came to buy some rouge and gouache before the Chinese New Year, so this product sold very fast, Song Dashan I simply went to Yueniang's place and bought a lot of rouge powder at once, and at the same time sent hundreds of boxes of balm to Yueniang.
The New Year makes everyone in the store very busy. Sister-in-law Qin is busy with beauty treatments, Song Dashan is busy selling rouge and gouache, Aunt Wu is busy with housework and buying new year’s goods, Dani is busy selling food, and the most leisurely member of the family is Li Mo, she only needs to put on makeup every morning, and then there is nothing else to do. Even when making balm and beauty products at night, Song Dashan doesn't need Li Mo to do it himself. He will get everything anyway. Can't meet again.
Therefore, Li Mo, a pregnant woman, has so much free time that she can only teach the two little ones at home how to read.
Huzi didn't have any foundation, so Li Mo asked Xiaobao to teach Huzi how to count and add arithmetic during the day, while she continued to teach Xiaobao how to read and write.
Xiaobao can already know a lot of characters now, and he is very familiar with the Three Character Classic, and he can also recite some simple poems. Li Mo is very proud of Xiaobao's superb learning ability, but he is afraid that because she is more If you are busy, you can't devote yourself to teaching him and delaying him.
So Li Mo plans to visit the academy in the town after the year to see if Xiaobao can go to the academy to study in the next year. Although the youngest academies usually only accept children who are six years old, and Xiaobao is only five years old, she believes that Except for being a little younger, Xiaobao is no worse than those six or seven-year-old children in other respects.
When it comes to reading, Li Mo thinks of Xiao Bao's name.
Xiaobao is still called Xiaobao to this day, and he was also registered as Song Xiaobao when he registered for household registration. At that time, Song Dashan was not at home, and no one gave Xiaobao a serious name, so he always used the word 'Xiaobao' as Xiaobao The name is also regarded as the daimyo.
But how can Song Xiaobao be regarded as a big name? Since he wants to go to school, this name must be changed.
At night, Li Mo huddled in Song Dashan's arms, and told him about giving Xiaobao a name.
Song Dashan patted himself on the head, secretly blaming himself for forgetting about it, Xiaobao and Xiaobao are used to it, if Li Mo hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have thought of changing his name again.
"Look at me, I've forgotten Xiaobao's name. It's really worth it, and I have to start it carefully. In the future, Xiaobao will study without a good name."
Li Mo patted his chest, "Then think about it, and you must have a good sleep."
Song Dashan had a hard time, "I don't have much knowledge, and I only know about Song Wen, Song Wu, Song Zhuang and so on, but I don't feel good about these names." Song Dashan touched Li Mo's cheek, "Ma'am , you are educated and can read and write, you should make one for Xiaobao, you must be good."
Li Mo smiled, and gave him a light slap, "You are named after your father, you are lucky, you don't even bother to think about it, then what do you want to call him when this thing in my stomach comes out again?"
Song Dashan smiled softly, "You can also choose the name for the one in your stomach. I'm afraid I won't name it well, and the child will blame me in the future."
Li Mo smiled and sighed, knowing that Song Dashan was really embarrassed, so she didn't refuse, and started thinking of a name for Xiaobao.
For Xiaobao's name, she hopes that it sounds good, has a good meaning, and is catchy, so that people can remember it immediately and leave a deep impression on it.
Li Mo thought about it a few times in her mind, then ruled it out, then thought again, and then felt bad again, and after tossing for a while, she was still not satisfied. In the end, Li Mo simply named Xiaobao out of her good wishes for him.
She hoped that no matter what happened to Xiaobao in this life, everything would be safe and smooth, preferably smooth sailing.
Have! Li Mo patted Song Dashan's chest excitedly, "Dashan, you have it! Let Xiaobao's name be Yifan, Song Yifan, which means smooth sailing, okay?"
Song Dashan muttered in his mouth, "Song Yifan...Song Yifan...OK, this is good, smooth sailing!"
Song Dashan kissed Li Mo on the forehead, "Lady, this name is good, let me call it this name."
Thus, Xiaobao's name was officially determined, and it was called Song Yifan.
And the next day, when Little Treasure knew that he had a big name called Song Yifan, he grinned happily and kept telling his little playmate, Hu Zi, that his name was Song Yifan, which made Hu Zi envious .
Huzi is called Huzi, and he also has no name.
Envious of Xiaobao's famous name, Huzi went to his mother and secretly told his mother that he also wanted a famous name.
Qin's sister-in-law felt sorry for her son, so she found Li Mo, and wanted Li Mo to give Huzi a name, "Sister, you are educated, but the name you gave is different from the one in the village. Can you name Huzi too? I know, seeing Xiaobao has a big name, Huzi is very envious."
Li Mo hurriedly said: "As long as sister-in-law is willing to let me get up, I will definitely think about it for Huzi."
Qin's sister-in-law excitedly said: "I am willing, if you can give the tiger a nice name, I am too happy."
So, Li Mo began to carefully think of Huzi's name again.
Sister-in-law Qin told Li Mo that she just wanted Hu Zi to live in peace and happiness for the rest of her life.
Li Mo thought about it, and named Huzi Qin Kairui. Kerry means auspiciousness, well-being and happiness.
After hearing Li Mo's name for Hu Zi, Sister-in-Law Qin was very satisfied and thanked Li Mo repeatedly. But Huzi jumped up happily, and kept saying his name behind Xiaobao, making a group of adults dumbfounded.
