The pension plan of the ancient cannon fodder woman

Chapter 279 Post-Marriage Planning

"Wedding? What do you mean?"

Su He patted his head and said, "Just make some preparations. Let's change the wedding ceremony. Now everyone listen to me."

...........

"This is the general process. We haven't yet displayed the dowry or ridden in the sedan chair. The next step is to decorate the bridal chamber."

Su He carefully opened the oil paper bag and took out the wedding character she had cut yesterday to show everyone.

"The first one is paper cutting. It will take us an entire afternoon. Look at the Chinese character for happiness in my hand. I cut four different shapes of it."

"These double happiness characters represent the union of a man and a woman, and a happy marriage. The two brides, come and pick one. Whichever one you like, I'll cut it and give it to you and put it on your quilt."

Wang Qingqing and Wang Lanlan looked through the photos carefully and liked every one of them. What should they do?

"Lotus, did you cut all these?"

Jin Taozi didn't even dare to touch it, the word "囍" with peony flowers on it was so delicate.

"Mom, are there two little people in this double happiness character? Look quickly."

Wang Lanlan pulled Jin Taozi and pointed at the one in front of her. She saw that the double happiness character had a mouth in the middle that turned into two faces. Looking closely, there was hair. The two little people were holding hands and looking at you. Wang Lanlan immediately thought of her Dali brother.

"Mom, I want this."

Wang Qingqing stood on tiptoe to look at it, feeling extremely envious. She also wanted one, but the double happiness characters for "a happy marriage for a hundred years" in her hand were also beautiful and she liked them too.

"Each of the two brides will choose one and learn from me later. They will cut it by themselves and paste it on the door of their new house. We, the bride's family members from other places, will help."

Su He picked up the prepared red paper and started teaching from the simplest one. The simplest double happiness character was the most in demand, so everyone learned it earlier and could start cutting it earlier.

Wang Qingqing was the most skillful, and she cut out two double-happiness characters of "Happiness for a Hundred Years" that she liked in half an hour. Now she was begging Su He to teach her something else.

Wang Lanlan was not so good. She couldn't even cut one properly. In the end, it was too late and she had to ask Su He to help her cut two.

In one afternoon, everyone cut more than 200 Chinese characters for "happiness". Before finishing their meal, they used paste made from white rice to paste Chinese characters all over Dali and his wife's new house. There was even a double happiness on the fruit plate.

There were still too many "happiness" characters, so he decided to put two on the front door of every household so that everyone could share in the joy. Su He also bought a lot of red lanterns. The red lanterns matched the "happiness" characters on the front door. This arrangement was more festive than the Chinese New Year.

On this day, Wang Qingqing slept with Hehua.

The finished wedding dress was placed on the coat rack next to her. Wang Qingqing touched her wedding dress and felt a sweet feeling in her heart.

"Tomorrow's procedure is as follows. You get up, finish your makeup, and then have breakfast in the house while waiting for Erli to pick you up. Miaomiao will bring people to block the doors, starting with our front door. There are three doors in total, and you will go through them one by one. Once you have passed all the gates, you will walk hand in hand to your new home."

Wang Qingqing nodded, not quite understanding. She thought that this was how marriages were done in Tianyuan Village.

She had seen her sister get married before. Her sister was dressed up by a matchmaker, and then carried out by her brother from the same clan. She was put on the sedan chair, and that was the end of the wedding.

She listened to Sister Hehua's arrangements with some anticipation.

"Next, I want to ask you what plans you have for your married life?"

Su He sat cross-legged on the kang, while Wang Qingqing opposite her looked confused.

"What's the plan? Brother Erli said he would buy some more land to plant sweet potatoes. Grandma said she wanted to have a grandson, so let's..."

"Wait wait wait, that's not what I meant."

Su He quickly interrupted Wang Qingqing's dangerous remarks. This kid really dares to say anything.

Wang Qingqing glanced at Su He shyly, "Sister Hehua, I'll let you name my son when the time comes."

You are so welcome.

Su He rolled her eyes speechlessly, "So after you get married, you'll just be responsible for raising children, right? And your family will live on the money Erli earns from farming?"

Wang Qingqing was stunned when she heard this, then shook her head hesitantly.

"No, that won't work. How can that be enough to spend? I can embroider, but my embroidery is average. I can't earn much money. Sister Hehua, what do you think Erli and I should do in the future?"

Wang Qingqing finally realized that Su He was trying to give her some advice.

Su He slapped Wang Qingqing's arm in frustration.

"I said you're not motivated. I asked you to learn painting before, but where's your painting? Why didn't I see you hand it in to me? Even Lanlan showed it to me."

Wang Qingqing felt a little ashamed, she had forgotten it completely long ago.

"I don't think you can go down this path. Think about it yourself. What are your specialties? That's what you are best at."

Wang Qingqing knocked her head hard. It was over. She was not good at anything. She only knew a little bit of everything, but that was really all she knew.

"Sister Lotus, I don't know anything."

Wang Qingqing was a little panicked. It was over. Erlige said he wanted to have three children. Could they afford to raise them?

"Sister Lotus, what should I do in the future?"

"There are two options now. The first is to get married, have children, and raise them. The premise is that the dowry must be generous, enough for you to use for a lifetime and to share with your children. If you choose this path, you can buy a small shop in the city and rent it out to others, collecting rent every month, and live a long life."

The second is to find a way to earn money. For example, Liu Niang makes money by embroidering. She has earned at least 70 or 80 taels in the past two months, which is definitely enough for her and Liu Bai. There is also the Lu family, they can grow fruit trees and make desserts. Xinghua has a talent for painting. She will surpass me in half a year. When she learns 300 characters, I will recommend her to the government office as a painter. "

The more Wang Qingqing listened, the more discouraged she became. It was over. Everyone had their own business, but she was the only one who knew nothing.

"The last time I saw you putting on makeup, I found that your makeup skills are pretty good. If you can't think of anything else, you can open a cosmetics shop in the future. Compared with your peers, your advantage is that you can teach girls how to put on makeup, how to choose the right cosmetics for them, and how to apply the most suitable makeup. In addition, you should learn to make some basic cosmetics yourself, so that you can save costs."

Wang Qingqing had never heard of anyone doing this, and she was a little nervous. "But I can't do it. I can only draw my own face."

"If you don't know how to do it, then learn it. If you don't want to come, then just have a baby."

"The aunts and sisters in our village have many different face shapes, and some have pimples and freckles on their faces. We have nothing to do, so you can be sweet and invite them to try makeup. When you have dealt with the people in the village, you can open a shop. We will go to the city in a few days, and you can learn about the cosmetics shops and buy some to learn from them."

Wang Qingqing was a little moved. She loved dressing up. Doing something you like gives you more energy and confidence.

"Sister Lotus, do you think I can do this? Am I usually good at drawing?"

Su He nodded without hesitation, "Yes, you can definitely do it. You have plenty of time and money. As long as you keep practicing, you will definitely make more and more progress."

Su He thought about the information on traditional methods of making cosmetics in her computer and decided it was time to cash in.

"At first it's just makeup on the face, then you can add headwear, then clothing. Don't rush, take your time."

Wang Qingqing was a little excited. She had finally found the direction of her life.

"Sister Lotus, will you help me?"

"Of course, I will definitely help you."

We should make money together and not put all our eggs in one basket. Just writing storybooks is not enough, as it will make you stupid.

"Go to bed early, you have to get up before dawn tomorrow.

Su He achieved her goal tonight and fell asleep contentedly.
