Chapter 20 Aunt's Postmodern Life 20

--------------- Aunt's Postmodern Life 20(1) --------------- "Sweat to lose weight, I'm lighter, you see!" My aunt said every day after weighing myself.Kuan Kuan couldn't tell, he didn't know how much she weighed.In order to comfort her, she always nodded and said yes, and secretly drew a lot of cartoons, the more fun she read. In the previous stage, my aunt caught up with the discounted buy one get two free event in the supermarket, bought 5 tubes of plastic wrap, and then wrapped her thighs, arms, waist and abdomen tightly with the plastic wrap, and then wrapped them in clothes and bounced around at home, non-stop Doing aerobics and practicing qigong is the same way. Covering the skin is airtight and sweating profusely. It is said that this is the most popular way to lose weight.Right now, as long as someone promotes a new way to lose weight, my aunt is willing to let the flesh suffer and dare to experiment.My aunt sighed and said, once this woman gets fat, she will have nothing to do in the future.

Recently, my aunt suddenly became discouraged, no longer stubbornly lose weight, and gave up n kinds of futile resistance to food and time, but started another resistance ritual.What new product did she buy back? There were a lot of bottles and cans. She first studied the instructions carefully, and then applied it on her face in front of the mirror. Wash it off after an hour, and then apply white after washing.Then, slapping and slapping in front of the mirror, very masochistic, this is a lesson she has repeated over the summer. According to the current fashion, Ye Rutang is regarded as an authentic "petty bourgeoisie" of the older generation, even though she has no money now.The so-called authenticity is to work hard in places that others cannot see, such as inner cultural cultivation.What the eyes see, what the ears hear, and what the skin touches with the soul are all noble, which is the noble temperament that has been nourished over the years.But now, everyone in the world is putting on a show. Are you doing well? Is your quality of life high? Doesn’t it make sense for people to see?What you see is not fame and wealth, luxury houses, cars, and designer clothes.Ye Rutang is very contemptuous of the petty bourgeoisie nowadays, and doesn't understand why they are so extravagant, underwear is more expensive than outerwear.Skin care products are advertised as image ambassadors by top foreign movie stars, unreasonably expensive, one set is a month's salary.In the past, the Red Lantern brand shampoo and Friendship brand cream were the most affordable. Everyone said that I had a good temperament.

Sun Xiaoling asked her aunt to go to the beauty salon several times (she has a VIP card to spend at will) for beauty and skin care.I really didn't expect that today's women are so happy and have so many things to enjoy.Ye Rutang had never even experienced foot washing or sauna before.The beauty parlor is located in a noble residential area, decorated like a palace, under the spotlights, two huge deformed sculptures of Greek mythological figures look at the gate, and the little doorman wearing a red beret crookedly has a charming fragrance and amorous eyes.The sign at the door reads Women's World, male guests are not allowed!My aunt followed Sun Xiaoling in, took off her clothes, and removed the mask armed with cosmetics, only to find that lying around, naked, young and glamorous, only the two of them were old women who were not very seductive.The next project to be carried out is "Ocean Photon Moisture Milk Whitening Skin Rejuvenation". In fact, it is to take a bath and shower first. The gorgeous bathroom has a strong fragrance of milk. Ye Rutang lay there feeling deeply. How can a person not last forever? A woman's youth Just like milk, there is a freshness period and a spoilage period. It is too late to wait until it spoils, so don't let the beauty spoil.

After taking a shower, lie on the special beauty bed and wait for the beautician to come to massage. The beautician is a baby-faced girl who greets the guests with a bow and bow, like a Japanese woman in a movie.She rubbed the whole body of the guest. It is said that it is the original "imported" massage technique that has been trained uniformly. The rubbing technique is indeed like treating a piece of art.It was the first time in my life that I was served by someone like this, and it was by a young and pretty young lady who gently rubbed her hands from head to toe for an hour. Ye Rutang felt comfortable all over and fell asleep contentedly. She even snored. .After an unknown amount of time, the young lady woke her up softly and asked, Auntie, we are holding activities, and there are festival gifts of "handguards", "neck protectors" and "ovary protectors". Which one do you choose?Unexpectedly, there is so much knowledge about the maintenance of body parts, Ye Rutang chose "hand guards". She thought that the wrinkles on the neck were three feet from the freezer, and the ovaries had already passed the expiration date, and she was laid off. substantive meaning.The baby-faced girl touched Ye Rutang's hand, and after that, she raised her hand to study curiously, as if studying something she had never seen before, and then she stuck out her tongue, wanting to speak Again, as if offending the honored guest, Ye Rutang opened his eyes and asked, "What's the matter, miss?" "Oh, auntie, your hands need... too much care! Hands are a woman's second face .” This girl is quite good at talking.

Lying beside her, Sun Xiaoling glanced sideways and said quickly, "Your hands are too thick! Old bark, old leaves." Then, she stretched out her hand to show her appreciation.Really, I have never paid attention to a woman's hands before. You can see that her hands are as silky and delicate as satin, decorated with an emerald and diamond ring, like white jade, to be precise, like the white and fat fingers of beauties in the Tang Dynasty.Ye Rutang looked at his hand, it was rough, with burrs, and big joints. It was a multi-functional tool that was blown, drenched, and sun-drenched in the wind, rain, and sun, and corroded in alkaline water.

Thinking about my hard life from north to south for so many years, 60 years, like a moment, passed by in a flash, it seems that the vicissitudes of life have been written on these hands.It really shouldn't be ignored and abused such a good pair of hands. From the head, buttocks, thighs to feet, they are all maintained. Looking in the mirror, it is really different.No wonder Sun Xiaoling's eyes, brows, and brows, which are usually sharp, have less creases than her own. They are all soft and charming under the rubbing of the beauty lady and the nourishment of skin care products.Especially these two hands, are they still his original claws?

From then on, Ye Rutang began to take extra care of her hands.She learns to cook, wears rubber gloves for washing dishes and laundry, and does not do any work such as killing chickens, scraping fish, peeling taro, and peeling garlic. Every night, she soaks her hands in warm water for 20 minutes, and then applies a layer after washing. Vaseline maintenance lotion, carefully wear a pair of black gloves to bed.Waking up in the middle of the night, the black gloves startled people. Kuan Kuan laughed to death, and said, Auntie, you sleep with your hands raised, like a witch in an anime. The aunt let the younger sister feel that the old sister has opened up.

// --------------- Aunt's Postmodern Life 20(2) --------------- In order to be more economical, my aunt likes to buy cheap domestic hair dye and go home to dye her hair.When she was dyeing her hair, she sometimes called Kuan Kuan to help her, pour the weird-smelling hair dye on the back of her head, where her arms couldn't reach, and comb it with a fine-toothed wooden comb.Every half month and ten days, she has to dye her hair again. She is not like other old ladies who dyed her hair black and black to cover her white hair, like a wig.The color my aunt dyes is often determined according to her mood.Sometimes it's burgundy, sometimes metallic brown, or dark coffee, but if you think you can tell your aunt's mood from the color of her hair, you're dead wrong.There is no way to be sure that wine red represents happiness, and metallic brown represents depression or worry. There is no corresponding color to express my aunt's mood. Unchanging appearance, afraid of aging silently in one color day by day.She seems to be becoming more and more sensitive to the monotonous hair color of her peers. When she goes out and comes home, she always looks at herself in the mirror, and then asks Kuan Kuan if it's time for her aunt to dye her hair?

I don't know if Pan Zhichang understands the meaning of women's hair color. If Ye Rutang's hair color is monotonous at this stage, he will not be used to it.Lao Pan was very good at complimenting his aunt, saying, no matter how you look at it, the pursuit of fashion proves one's confidence and love for life. Therefore, sometimes if Ye Rulan rushes to Shanghai suddenly for an interview meeting, she will guess, what color will her sister's hair be today?She can't tell whether she's in a good mood or a bad mood recently.The strange thing is that the feelings of the two sisters are always misaligned. Ever since Ye Rutang dyed her hair, the younger sister has never guessed correctly.In fact, most of the time, in order to disguise her emotions, Ye Rutang changes her hair into various colors that represent beauty, joy, youth, vigor and happiness.If hair dye was not invented in this world, what would my aunt do?Kuan Kuan asked this question old-fashionedly.

Ye Rulan stood behind her and curled her lips.This time on vacation, she was shocked to see her sister's wine-red hair, she looked like a fat old turkey, a cartoon person.Anyway, thinking about it, my sister is not as sad as before, which is good.As long as she forgets the surname Wang and makes herself happy, she can do whatever she wants.The younger sister thought that she and Lao Pan probably didn't have the right temper, and they belonged to the stage of crossing the river by feeling the stones.So, Ye Rulan was a little secretly happy, and said: "Oh my God, you look like an old Russian woman! Women are self-pleasing, love is really motivated?"

"What love motivation, nonsense. Can't I be beautiful for myself?" "Okay, you are already narcissistic enough, now learn how to be beautiful to men." The younger sister laughed. "Come on, the man said that no matter how grand the old ladies dress, it won't save them." Ye Rutang sighed. Ye Rulan agreed: "Yes, a man's sexual desire must at least be aroused visually. My husband is nagging every day. He is in his 40s. Since men can't have the fantasy of embracing girls, don't let men face too cruel reality. He also said that it doesn't matter if you are fat, and you will never allow your wife to dress up without taste." After speaking, he giggled.Recently, she also has a faint sense of crisis about her age.No matter how tired we are, we will stand up, muster the energy to fight against aging, practice yoga, and practice bodybuilding.You can't just be busy with work, "To catch the tail of youth and not let go, you have to dress up well. Am I a dead flower in the eyes of men?" Ye Rulan suggested to go shopping in Xujiahui in the afternoon.When going out, she wanted to take a taxi, Ye Rutang nagged about the service brand of taxis in Shanghai again, Ye Rulan ignored her, hailed a taxi and got in.A younger sister is a younger sister, and she often seemed domineering and domineering towards her since she was a child.In a blink of an eye, the car arrived at the Pacific Commercial Building. There is a gap in economic income between the two sisters. The younger sister spends all her money in boutiques, while the older sister goes to wholesale markets.Decent clothes, jewelry, and handbags are usually given by my younger sister, and sporadically, Lao Wang gave her.Lao Pan covered the purse tightly, and basically didn't give her anything decent.Ye Rutang felt bad for making her younger sister spend money all the time, and every time she went shopping, she would excuse herself to avoid embarrassment, but her younger sister forced her to go shopping with her.There is a sense of determination, this Ye Rutang is also out of touch with fashion, and she seems extremely inappropriate on many occasions, and it is unbearable to haggle when shopping. It is obviously thousands of yuan for a new French famous brand autumn dress. The price caused the sales lady to roll her eyes with contempt.The younger sister gently tugged on her sleeve, signaling to go quickly, but she pointed loudly without hesitation: "Our little tailor next door doesn't even need 200 pieces." She speaks loudly in public, doing what she wants to say. Walking to the brand-name cosmetics counter, Ye Rulan bought a set of Elizabeth Arden skin care cosmetics.The shopping guide was determined to sell more, so she squeezed out a professional smile, held up a blue bottle and shouted at Ye Rutang, with a small mouth: Hello, Auntie.This is our current, gel type, anti-wrinkle, whitening and moisturizing, especially suitable for middle-aged and elderly people, especially like you!Ye Rutang was called affectionately by the beautiful girl, who complimented her temperament and hair color, and also smiled politely in return.On the contrary, she could read the English words in the manual, and she could read them smoothly, which made the young lady stand in awe.Ye Rutang stretched out her little finger, scooped out a little bit in the makeup bottle, applied the white lotion on her face, then scooped out a little bit more, and applied it on her neck.Immediately felt warm and comfortable, yes, very comfortable, very suitable for my skin.Ask the price again, it's too scary, it's unreasonable to be expensive.So, she said solemnly: "It's good. I've used this product before, and I still have it at home." "Then you are our regular customer, but I am a brand new product. You made a mistake, auntie?" The lady reminded warmly. "That's right, I've been using it all the time, oh, I'm all zero-copy!" The young lady froze her smile immediately, and looked her up and down vigilantly with her eyes wide open. Ye Rulan blushed with embarrassment, and hurriedly said: "My sister is so humorous, I was joking with you. Where can I find zero copies?" Panicked, she took her sister's arm and dragged her away.The young lady's vigilant gaze was burning on her back.When she got to the side, she said angrily: "Sister, you have something wrong, what zero copy, eight lifetimes ago, you are cream! How can there be zero copy for such high-end cosmetics now?" // --------------- Aunt's Postmodern Life 20(3) --------------- "Anyway, it's this brand, zero copy is cheaper," she said forcefully. "Don't be ashamed, you make people laugh to death. Buy it if you like it. I don't want to give you money. I don't buy a computer. I can't bear anything?" When asked about money, Ye Rutang felt guilty and stopped talking. //
