After the replacement of the military officer, the soft stepmother won

"It smells so good." Lu Jingchuan praised and placed a small stove on the table. On the stove was a charcoal grill made of wire mesh. He brushed a layer of hot oil on the charcoal grill.

After he finished brushing, Shen Li placed the thin slices of meat from the wild boar she had killed earlier on the charcoal grill, followed by the sliced ​​black truffles, chanterelles, white mushrooms, and squid meat.

There was an enticing crackling sound coming from the stove, the meat was roasting, crackling and sizzling with oil, and it had an enticing color.

At this time, the two children had already washed the fruits and were walking towards this side.

There was not enough space in the glass bowl, so Duoduo put the washed fruits in a handbag and walked towards this side with the handbag. Lu Minghui walked towards this side step by step holding a large bowl in his arms.

"Mom, it smells so good!" Duoduo's little nose moved and saw the meat on the charcoal grill, "This is barbecue!"

"Well, come and sit down. The meat will be grilled soon." Shen Li took the bag from her hand and placed the washed peaches and grapes in a large bamboo fruit basket on the table. "The shrimps are ready. You can eat them now."

"Yeah, yeah." Duoduo sat on Shen Li's left.

Lu Minghui placed the glass bowl on the table and sat to the right of Shen Li.

Shen Li poured the watermelon juice made by a juicer in the space into a large glass measuring cup in advance. She poured the watermelon juice in the measuring cup into four glasses.

"Come on, let's toast together!" Shen Li said with a happy smile, holding up a glass full of watermelon juice.

"Cheers!" The family raised their glasses and the crisp sound of clinking glasses rang out.

A group of people sat together, eating prawns, barbecued meat, grilled black truffles, grilled mushrooms, drinking watermelon juice, and feeling the refreshing sea breeze. It was very comfortable.

Soon, the day of the cultural performance arrived.

This year's art performance will be held on the Mid-Autumn Festival. Before wishing everyone a happy family reunion, the organization will first organize the military families to watch the art performance together.

At this time, off the stage.

"What should I do? I'm so nervous." In the waiting room, Sister Narcissus twisted her fingers together nervously and paced back and forth anxiously.

"I'm nervous too. I've never spoken anything in front of so many people in my life, let alone performing a dance in front of so many people." Xuanxuan was so nervous that her teeth were chattering, her little face turned pale, and cold sweat appeared on her forehead.

"What should I do? What should I do? I'm so afraid that I won't perform well later..." Sister Jinhua was very anxious. "This is my first time performing in front of so many people... This is also my first time dancing in public... I'm afraid that others will laugh at me..."

"Me too. I want to go to the bathroom when I get nervous. I have to go again." Zhang Ye said, and was about to run to the bathroom. Shen Li stopped her with a smile, "Sister-in-law, you have already gone to the bathroom six times. In fact, you don't really want to go to the bathroom, you are just having a psychological effect."

"But I..." Zhang Ye was at a loss for a moment.

"Don't be nervous, everyone." Shen Li said, "Sisters-in-law, you usually perform very well. We have rehearsed so many times, and you have never failed to keep up with the beat. For this art performance, you only need to show your usual level. Don't be too nervous."

"Listen to me, everyone, take a deep breath. Inhale deeply, and then exhale." Shen Li's voice was very light and gentle, giving people a sense of peace of mind.

The sisters-in-law took a few deep breaths as Shen Li said and felt a lot more relaxed.

"Okay, sisters-in-law, sit down and I'll put makeup on you," said Shen Li.

Today, the sisters-in-law all put on white powder and lipstick on their faces, but they all applied too red, which made the lips stand out more, and the faces looked too pale and a little weird. Instead of looking better than usual, this makeup made them look older and more rustic.

Shen Li needs to change their makeup.

Sister Shuixian instantly became interested, "Sister Li, can you put on makeup?"

"Well, everyone sit in your seats in turn. I'll change your makeup." Shen Li said with a chuckle.

Shen Li's voice was gentle, giving people an inexplicable sense of peace. Everyone was very nervous, but after chatting with Shen Li, their nervousness relaxed a little and their attention was focused on makeup.

Sister Narcissus was closest to Shen Li. She sat at the dressing table in front of her. Shen Li took out an air cushion from her bag.

Of course, this air cushion was also purchased from the space mall.

Shen Li first cleaned the thick white foundation on Sister Narcissus's face, applied a little moisturizer on her face, and then dipped the air cushion with a powder puff and applied it evenly on her face.

"What is this? When you apply it on your skin, it becomes so soft and supple, as if you can squeeze out water from it!"

Everyone looked at the makeup on Sister Narcissus's face in amazement.

"Yes, and this stuff isn't thick or fake, it looks very light and thin, just like good natural skin!"

Everyone was a little nervous at first, but after seeing Sister Narcissus's skin become so smooth after applying the air cushion, everyone became more alert and their attention was diverted.

"My mother-in-law bought this for me." Shen Li lied casually, "It was imported from abroad and is quite expensive, so I don't usually use it."

Originally, everyone wanted to ask Shen Li to buy one if this thing was cheap, but when they heard that it was imported from abroad and was very expensive, everyone gave up the idea.

"Sister-in-law, your mother-in-law is so good to you." Xuanxuan looked at Shen Li with envy, feeling a little sour in her heart.

She has always felt inferior about her rural origin.

Her mother-in-law also always looked down on her background, saying that she was petty, had no temperament, and was unsophisticated...

Ever since she married her husband, her mother-in-law has never been kind to her. She has always mocked, belittled and insulted her.

She said that she was lucky to marry her husband and that she got a great bargain.

She also knows that she is not worthy of her husband, so she works diligently at home. She gets up at 5 o'clock every morning to do housework, cook meals for the whole family, and then wash the pots, bowls, chopsticks, and clothes for the whole family. When she finishes, it is noon, and she continues to cook, making delicious meals in different ways to please her mother-in-law.

At night she had to wash her mother-in-law's feet and help her empty the urinal.

She even never kept the money her husband earned for herself, but tacitly allowed her husband to hand it over to her mother-in-law, who was in charge of the family finances.

At home, if she ate one more peach, her mother-in-law would glare at her for a long time.

She was so scared that she didn't dare to eat anymore and only ate secretly when she felt hungry.

Even if she tried her best to serve her mother-in-law, she would never be nice to her, let alone give her anything.

It can be said that in this family, she has never seen what money looks like.

The clothes she wore after she got married were all from a few years ago. When the clothes were torn, she would sew them up and continue wearing them. She was obviously 19 years old, but she dressed in a shabby manner, not bright at all.

But Sister Shen Li also came from the village, but she wore bright and beautiful skirts every day, and sometimes a little dress. She was always dressed brightly, gently and beautifully, making people like her at first sight - every woman who saw her liked Sister Shen Li very much.

Moreover, Shen Li's parents-in-law were very kind to her. She often saw parcels sent from the northwest. She heard that Shen Li's parents-in-law were often worried that Shen Li didn't have enough money, so they sent her money...

In comparison, Sister Shen Li is really happy.

Her husband dotes on her, and her mother-in-law and father-in-law also dote on her and love her like their own daughter.

Looking back at herself...her boyfriend was reluctant to marry her in the first place, and after marriage his attitude towards her was lukewarm and distant.

Since she got married until now, her husband has only touched her once, before marriage.

In contrast, Xuanxuan felt that she was a poor little thing who was loved and cared for by no one.

Is it because I am not good enough, not as pretty as Sister Shen Li, not as good-looking as her, not as outstanding as her, so I don't deserve to be loved?

Xuanxuan lowered her eyes to hide the moisture in them.

"Well, my parents-in-law don't have a daughter, so they treat me like their own daughter." Shen Li smiled gently and lightly, "They don't spend much money on themselves, but they are very generous with me."

After marrying Lu Jingchuan, she became the darling of the whole family.

This is a warmth that I have never experienced in my previous life.

Everything now makes her feel content.

Noticing Xuanxuan's depressed mood, Shen Li asked, "Xuanxuan, what's wrong with you?"

"No, nothing happened." Xuanxuan raised her head and tried her best to suppress the bitterness in her eyes, forcing a forced smile, "It was the strong wind, and a small stone got into my eye."

We are indoors now, where is the wind?

Shen Li knew that she didn't want to say more, so she didn't force her and continued to put makeup on Sister Narcissus.

After Shen Li applied a layer of air cushion, the skin texture of Sister Narcissus's face changed dramatically. The freckles, dark circles and blemishes on her face were all covered up. The whole face looked white and translucent, with a natural luster, giving a feeling of dewy skin.

Then Shen Li took out an eyebrow pencil and drew an eyebrow on Sister Narcissus's face.

Sister Narcissus has a round face. Although such a face looks a bit fat in real life, if the makeup is applied with good skills, it can create a prosperous and peaceful appearance.

Therefore, Shen Li trimmed Sister Narcissus's eyebrows, changing them into very thin and curved eyebrows in an ancient style. In this way, the round outline of her face was modified.

Then for the eye makeup, Shen Li used earth-toned eyeshadow, deepened the eye contour, and applied eyelashes and double-eyelid stickers. Of course, eye bags are also necessary... Of course, all these tools also come from the space mall.

"My God, the eyes have become so big all of a sudden!" Zhang Ye was amazed.

"Yes, the eyes have enlarged three times in an instant, and the single eyelids have become double eyelids!" Sister Jinhua said in surprise.

After finishing the eye makeup, deepen the bridge of the nose, use shadow to modify the facial contour, and then use highlights to brighten the white areas of the face. Finally, apply a nude apricot lipstick on Narcissus Sister, and then apply a little lip gloss.

After this makeup was completed, people around were shocked.

"Oh my god, is this still makeup technology? This is simply head replacement technology!"

"I didn't expect Sister Li's skills were so good. It only took about 20 minutes to draw Sister Narcissus like the star on TV! She looks like a rich lady!"

Everyone was amazed.
