Chapter 19 Deyuan Hospital
When she got home, as expected, seeing that she had bought so many things, Ding Hongmei felt so distressed that it seemed like her life was wasted.
"I told you not to spend so much money on your home, why didn't you listen?"
Ding Hongmei also wanted her nephew to introduce a good match to her daughter. By that time, the man would be so well-off, and her daughter's dowry would not be a laughing stock.
Jiang Nianzi hugged Ding Hongmei and rubbed her head against her shoulder: "Mom, we are all family. If I don't spend money at home, where can I spend it? Besides, we made a lot of money today."
"Again?" Ding Hongmei asked in confusion.
Jiang Nianzi immediately took out the remaining thirty-two yuan.
"Mom, my brother, Doudou and I went up the mountain to collect herbs and sold them to Grandpa Zhang. We earned forty-two yuan. After paying back the breakfast money Grandpa Zhang gave us, we still had forty yuan left."
Ding Hongmei had never seen so much money before.
Seeing the money Jiang Nianzi put on the table, Ding Hongmei said secretly, "Good girl."
Jiang Cheng and Jiang Doudou had only taken a look at Grandpa Zhang when he was counting the money before, and now the two of them also gathered around the table and stared at the money.
Jiang Nianzi sat at the table and counted out fifteen yuan and handed it to Jiang Cheng: "Brother, this is yours, dividends."
"What do you want me to do?"
"What for him?"
Ding Hongmei and Jiang Cheng spoke at the same time. Jiang Doudou looked at this and that, clasping her hands together and saying nothing, pretending to be an honest person.
Jiang Nianzi smiled and said, "Those herbs were dug by my brother and Doudou. We agreed to make money together, so how could I be the only one to get paid?"
All the money spent on buying eggs and flour was used for household expenses, so Jiang Nianzhi didn't exclude it.
There were thirty-two left, and she gave Jiang Cheng fifteen, which was exactly the right amount.
Jiang Cheng didn't expect his sister to give him money. In his opinion, they were all family and it didn't matter where the money was kept.
He had no place to spend money, so it was enough to have something to stutter.
Hearing Jiang Nianzi say this, he smiled naively while holding his head back: "Zizi, it's my duty to help you. I just dug a medicinal herb, how could it be worth so much money? If you didn't know it, I would have treated it as a weed."
If it were someone else, Jiang Nianzi would definitely not give that much.
But this is her brother who only dotes on her.
We are a family, why should we care so much?
Jiang Nianzi did not allow him to refuse and stuffed the money into his arms: "Just take it when I tell you to. Brother, you haven't married yet, so you have to save some money yourself."
Jiang Cheng had never thought about getting married. When he heard Jiang Nianzi say this, his face turned red: "What are you talking about."
"Seriously, you're not a child anymore. You should prepare yourself for your own affairs. Don't go back and meet a girl you like, but miss the chance because you can't afford the betrothal gift."
Jiang Cheng heard this and he no longer refused, but his heart felt warm as if it was being roasted by the sun.
This is the sister he raised with his love.
Jiang Cheng secretly swore in his heart that he must make more money so that when his daughter Zizi gets married in the future, she will have confidence in her husband's family.
As he thought about it, his eyes actually turned red. He was afraid of being seen, so he quickly wiped them away with his hands.
Jiang Nianzi gave Jiang Doudou another two yuan: "Doudou, take it. Our Doudou also helped today."
Jiang Doudou glanced at Ding Hongmei first, and seeing that Ding Hongmei had a stern face and didn't say anything, he didn't dare to reach out to take it.
He looked at Ding Hongmei with his small dark eyes, then at Jiang Nianzi, and finally put his hands behind his back: "Mom said that Doudou should be nice to me, so I'll give Doudou's two yuan to me."
The young guy still spoke in a condescending tone.
Jiang Nianzi and Ding Hongmei were both amused.
Ding Hongmei couldn't help but rub her son's head: "I'll give it to you, just take it."
She could see that her daughter would feel uncomfortable if she didn't give the money.
Fortunately, they are all family members, so Ding Hongmei didn't say anything.
After getting Ding Hongmei's permission, Jiang Doudou happily put the money away and said, "I'm going to save it and buy firecrackers and candies for my sister during the Chinese New Year."
The little guy was so cute that Jiang Nianzi couldn't help but pinch his little face: "Doudou is so good."
After dividing the money, the family washed up and went back to their rooms to rest.
Ding Hongmei felt comforted when she saw her daughter being so generous and unconcerned with her family, but at the same time, she felt useless again.
If she, as a mother, hadn't failed to support the family, her daughter wouldn't have to work so hard.
Look, my cold hasn’t healed yet, and I have to go to the mountains to collect herbs.
Ding Hongmei always felt that her daughter was delicate and should be taken good care of, and she completely ignored what Jiang Nianzi said - all the medicinal herbs were collected by Jiang Cheng.
Ding Hongmei was thinking a lot, when suddenly she heard the sound of a door opening.
She was stunned for a moment.
Jiang Nianzi ran in quietly: "Mom."
"Zizi? What are you doing?" Ding Hongmei got up from the bed.
Jiang Nianzi had the remaining fifteen yuan in her hand, and upon hearing this, she stuffed the money into her hand.
"Why are you giving me money?" Ding Hongmei was unhappy.
Jiang Nianzi held her hand and said, "Mom, I still have eight yuan left from last time. You keep this money with you. If you need it at home, you can use it. As for me, I will be able to make a lot of money soon."
Looking at her daughter's confident smile and thinking that she had indeed made a lot of money during this period, Ding Hongmei did not argue with her. After all, the money was with her and she didn't have to use it.
The young lady was extravagant, so she could save the money for her dowry in the future.
-
For Jiang Nianzi, today's money is like picking up something new.
She doesn't feel sorry either.
Back in the room, she took out the remaining herbs for the whitening cream from the drawer.
These medicinal herbs were all bought from Grandpa Zhang.
With the Ganoderma lucidum and Panax notoginseng collected today, I don’t have to worry about the whitening cream not being effective.
There is no medicine jar at home, but there is a stone jar for crushing garlic.
Jiang Nianzi took it to the kitchen and washed it carefully before mashing all the herbs together.
It takes a lot of time to mash the soaked herbs into a paste.
Jiang Nianzi simply washed her face first.
It took about twenty minutes to pound the herbs into a paste.
Jiang Nianzi took out the Ganoderma lucidum powder and poured a little bit on it.
This thing is so rare, and she can't afford it with her current financial situation, so she can only use it sparingly.
Jiang Nianzi made almost half a bowl of whitening cream, and then she scooped out the remaining cream from the edge of the stone jar and applied it on her face as a mask.
In between applying the facial mask, she took a look at herself in the mirror.
What's more, after this period of physical sun protection, her neck has become much whiter.
Thinking of this, she scooped a little more and rubbed it on her neck.
Then mix the white vinegar at home with water and use it to soak your hands.
Well-diluted white vinegar water can soften cuticles and make the skin smoother and more delicate.
But you can't soak it often.
Jiang Nianzi estimated that the time was about up, so she scraped the whitening cream off her face and neck and placed it in another small bowl.
Use your fingers to massage your face until the remaining whitening cream is absorbed, and use the excess that you just scraped off to wipe your hands.
The whitening cream can be applied directly to the face. The reason why Jiang Nianzi called it a facial mask this time is because she added a lot of it.
The cold started from the feet, so Jiang Nianzi soaked her feet and drank a cup of Ganoderma lucidum water, and then she fell into a sound sleep.
Little white girl, here she comes!
Don't be a little black man anymore.

The next day, Jiang Nianzi got up early in the morning and touched her face.
Delicate and moist touch, very moisturizing.
Well, it should be the effect of the whitening cream I used yesterday.
Jiang Nianzi quickly got up and looked in the mirror.
Because I applied too much whitening cream last night, my face is a little oily, but my skin is visibly brighter.
"Wow, the effect is so good..."
Jiang Nianzi touched her face, feeling a little surprised.
Could it be that the Ganoderma lucidum she collected was not polluted by the air environment of later generations, so the effect was so good?
After washing her face with water, she came in again and looked in the mirror.
Hmm, it looks whiter than before I washed my face.
At this moment she was very glad that although the skin of this body was not white, it was very delicate and not rough at all.
She applied whitening cream on her face again, and then put on her homemade sun hat and sunscreen mask curtain.
Jiang Nianzi was in a particularly good mood because her skin was significantly brighter.
She believed that as long as she persisted in applying the whitening cream every day, she would be able to recover to the state of the future.
With this beautiful belief in mind, Jiang Nianzi came to the clinic.
An old lady saw her and called out with special respect, "Dr. Jiang is here."
"Hey, Granny Liu, why are you here again? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Ouch, my rheumatism has come back. Doctor Jiang, please give me some injections."
The old lady had a fever and pain a few days ago. For several days, her body felt so weak and she had no strength.
I went to the clinic and Jiang Nianzi gave me a few injections and prescribed some medicine. I was cured the next day.
She was in poor health, and in the past, she would have to spend ten days or half a month to recover from a cold, fever, or fever.
I didn't expect Jiang Nianzi to give her just a few injections and she recovered so quickly.
"Okay, I'll show you." Jiang Nianzi came to Granny Liu and squatted down.
Grandpa Zhang said with a smile: "Since your grandmother Liu has been seeing you for treatment, she no longer wants me to treat her."
Jiang Nianzi explained: "Granny Liu is worried that you, Grandpa Zhang, will be tired as you get older."
Granny Liu is an old customer of Grandpa Zhang. She goes to Grandpa Zhang for all her minor illnesses and pains, and she is very familiar with Grandpa Zhang.
Hearing Jiang Nianzi making amends for Grandpa Zhang, she raised her hands and said, "Not at all. I just think that our Doctor Jiang is much better than Old Zhang in medical skills."
Jiang Nianzi was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Granny Liu to say that.
Grandpa Zhang waved his hands and said, "Girl, don't be modest. Grandpa knows that you are more capable than me."
"No, Zizi still needs grandpa's guidance in many areas." Jiang Nianzi felt embarrassed by the compliments.
On the other side, after the flood receded in Oki Village, soldiers helped the villagers rebuild their homes.
A group of people cut trees, saw wood, move stones, and do everything.
Shen Cheng was walking forward with his bare chest carrying a big tree when Li Wen ran over.
"Captain, I have found out what you asked me to find out. Doctor Li said that the female doctor who saved you that day came here with an old Chinese doctor named Zhang Qixian. The old Chinese doctor's clinic is in the town, and it is called Deyuan Clinic."
Deyuan Medical Clinic?
I seemed to have seen it when I passed by in town yesterday.
