Chapter 28 Happiness for Most of a Lifetime
There is a feeling called social death, and this is what Jiang Nianzi is feeling now.
She blinked and glared at Jiang Doudou.
Jiang Doudou also blinked at her, confused and not understanding anything.
Shen Cheng just came out to get some fresh air, he didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.
When he saw the little girl, he was hesitating whether to go up and say hello.
Then I heard what she said to fool the children.
Little fairy...
He had never seen a girl talk about herself like this.
Shen Cheng's eyes lit up with smile, and seeing her suddenly straighten her back, he knew that the little girl was probably embarrassed.
He waved to the little friend who was looking at him, then turned around and went back to the house considerately.
Jiang Nianzi waited for a long time but didn't hear any mocking voice. She turned around suddenly and saw no one.
Jiang Nianzi sternly lectured Jiang Doudou: "Little Doudou, who taught you to lie?"
Jiang Doudou felt extremely wronged: "Sister, I didn't lie. There really was a big brother there just now. He was a very good-looking big brother, but he's gone now."
Seeing that he didn't look like he was lying, Jiang Nianzi asked suspiciously, "Where's that person?"
"The man went back into the house."
Going back to the house?
Jiang Nianzi was so embarrassed that she didn't even have the face to go back to the house. She quickly pulled Jiang Doudou away.
As for the one dollar for makeup, I can only go back and ask Zhao Fangru for it.
Including the thirty yuan she earned today, Jiang Nianzi had a total of thirty-eight yuan on her.
She no longer had any cloth coupons.
She planned to ask the patients in the clinic if they had cloth coupons, and she exchanged them for money.
As soon as I arrived at the clinic, I was grabbed by Granny Liu.
"Doctor Jiang, here, your things."
She stuffed a package into Jiang Nianzi's hand, and Jiang Nianzi was stunned for a moment.
What the hell?
She looked at Granny Liu in confusion.
Granny Liu said, "Yesterday a handsome young man came over and said he wanted to thank you for saving his life."
"Life-saving grace?"
"Yes, that young man said that you saved his life in Oki Village."
After Granny Liu said this, Jiang Nianzi understood that it should be the soldier she rescued when the flood occurred in Oki Village.
I didn't expect he would find this place.
Seeing Jiang Nianzi's expression as if she had remembered something, Granny Liu said gossipingly, "Doctor Jiang, people say that if you save someone's life, you can't repay them with anything but your body. That boy is so good-looking. Doctor Jiang, you're also of marriageable age, so why don't you just marry him?"
What is that!
After Jiang Nianzi was shocked, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Grandma Liu, what are you talking about? People gave me things, probably just to repay me for this favor, what's the point of giving yourself to me?"
As she spoke, Jiang Nianzi pulled Jiang Doudou to sit in front of the medicine cabinet and opened the package curiously.
Wow, you don’t know until you see it, and you’ll be shocked when you see it.
They were all tickets.
There were cloth coupons, grain coupons, meat coupons, all kinds of things... and there were quite a lot of them.
This thank-you gift is too big.
But on second thought, she saved his life.
It just so happens that she is lacking these things now.
So Jiang Nianzi immediately took Jiang Doudou to buy several pieces of thick quilt cloth.
These socks cost only eight dollars in total.
It was winter now, and the clothes Jiang Nianzi was wearing were very thin. With enough cloth coupons, she bought all the cloth needed for the family to make clothes.
After buying these, Jiang Nianzi returned to the clinic and continued to treat patients.
As the weather gets colder, more and more people are catching colds and getting sick, and hospitals are becoming increasingly busy.
And because of an order, Shen Cheng had no time to return to the town, so he set out directly from Omu Village and quickly rushed to the troops.
Jiang Nianzi bought some sock cloth and returned home. She heard Jiang Xue's laughter from a distance.
She was stunned for a moment, then a smile immediately spread across her face: "Sister, you are finally back."
"Zizi is back."
Jiang Xue also came over with a smile.
She has already told her boss that she will not do it anymore.
My sister is right. There are many ways to make money. At worst, I can follow my brother to the mountains to collect herbs and sell them.
There is no need to bow down and be bullied.
Seeing Jiang Nianzi holding a large bag of things in her hands, Ding Hongmei hurriedly took it from her.
As soon as I took it, I saw that it was filled with thick sock cloth.
Ding Hongmei was stunned for a moment and asked Jiang Nianzi where she got so much cloth.
My rough fingers gently touched the cloth of the blouse. It was warm and comfortable to touch.
Jiang Nianzi walked over and took out the sash cloth.
There are sock fabrics in various colors, with cotton wool stuffed inside, and you can tell at first glance that they are high-quality fabrics.
"Didn't I follow Grandpa Zhang to Damu Village to provide support a few days ago? We rescued a comrade from the People's Liberation Army there. This is a thank-you gift from that comrade. Oh, no, he gave me a lot of cloth coupons, and I spent the money myself."
As she spoke, Jiang Nianzi opened the box containing the tickets again.
Jiang Xue and Ding Hongmei took a look and saw that they were all valuable tickets.
The two were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths.
"So many tickets? Zizi, you met a good person."
Nowadays, who doesn’t treasure tickets?
How many people would be willing to give it away?
Jiang Doudou's nose was oozing snot, it was frozen.
The whole family was very happy because they would have new clothes to wear soon, and they had a delicious meal in the evening.
Jiang Cheng came back late, and Ding Hongmei left some food for him.
Aunt Liu and Aunt Agui passed by and smelled the fragrance of the spray again, swallowing subconsciously.
Aunt Liu was used to being jealous, but she still couldn't help complaining: "Ding Hongmei is so lucky. Why don't I have such a good fortune to give birth to such a wealthy daughter?"
Auntie Gui pulled her forward and said, "Who told you to only want to have a son?"
At night, Jiang Nianzi and Jiang Xue lay on the same bed, and Jiang Xue began to plan for the future.
Jiang Nianzi said: "Sister, I have a plan."
"What are your plans?" Jiang Xue reached out and pulled the quilt over her.
Jiang Nianzi was inexplicably excited when she thought about Jiang Xue's ability to make clothes, so she simply got up from the bed.
"Hey, Zizi, it's cold, what are you doing?"
"Wait for me."
Jiang Nianzi took out her old school bag and took out some paper and pen.
Light a kerosene lamp and start drawing the pattern of the clothes on it.
She doesn't have much talent for painting, but her vision comes from the future.
After finishing the drawing, Jiang Nianzi showed the clothes to Jiang Xue.
Jiang Xue looked at the distorted clothing pattern and said with a smile: "Zizi, is this the ready-made clothing that you said can make a lot of money?"
"That's right, but now we need cloth coupons to make clothes, so we can't make clothes and sell them for the time being. But we have to put our brand out there so that people will buy cloth and come to us to make clothes."
Jiang Nianzi took a look at the clothes she drew, and they did look a bit ugly.
After all, her painting skills are average.
So she just said directly: "Sister, look, the style of this dress is like this, the middle is in the shape of a vest, the collar and the edges of the buttons are all wrapped with cotton-stitched cloth and flow down, and the sleeves on both sides are tucked into the main body of the vest with white cuffs, so it looks like two pieces..."
This is a winter suit. The main body of the vest is bright red, and the skirt is also bright red, but the bottom is also trimmed with white cotton, which is a bit similar to the furry trim in later generations.
Jiang Xue likes making clothes very much and has a high comprehension ability. After listening to Jiang Nianzi's explanation and looking at the drawings, the pattern of the clothes instantly came to her mind.
"But after we're done, where can we find customers?" Jiang Xue asked.
Jiang Nianzi smiled happily: "Leave it to me."
Jiang Xue was very excited after hearing this, because she knew that her sister was a capable person and had been smart since she was young.
Early the next morning, it was Nianzi's day off, so she didn't have to go to the hospital.
In their village, only the village chief's house has a sewing machine.
That was the dowry brought by the village chief’s daughter-in-law.
Jiang Nianzi asked Jiang Xue and found out, so their purpose today was to find the village chief's daughter-in-law and rent her sewing machine.
The two sisters walked from one end of the village to the other in the cold wind.
Fortunately, the village is not big.
People in every household in the village get up early and go to work.
The village chief's house is no exception.
When Jiang Nianzhi and Jiang Xue arrived at the village chief's house, the village chief and his wife were about to go to the fields.
Jiang Xue hurried forward to greet them: "Uncle Agen, Aunt Cuiping, are you going to the fields?"
Jiang Xue has been sweet-talking since she was young and is very popular.
Uncle Agen heard this and said with a smile, "Aren't you going to work in the fields? You don't have a doctor who can make money at home."
Now everyone in the village knows that Jiang Nianzi works in the town clinic.
Most people don't have any bad intentions, but they can't hide their envy in their hearts.
I heard it’s thirty yuan a month.
Ding Hongmei's family is considered to be successful.
No matter your age, as long as you have ability and money, others will take you seriously.
Jiang Nianzi immediately followed Jiang Xue and called out, "Uncle Agen, is my sister-in-law Ling at home?"
Uncle Agen's daughter-in-law Zhang Lingling is pregnant now and usually doesn't have to go out to work.
Hearing the two little girls coming to look for his daughter-in-law, Uncle Agen said, "She's in the house. Go in and find her."
Jiang Nianzi and Jiang Xue were in great spirits as they did not miss the chance. They immediately went into the house to look for Zhang Lingling.
-
The jeep drove into the troops. After Shen Cheng got off the car, he felt the coldness in the air and took a deep breath.
Li Wen followed him and said, "Captain, you went there several times but couldn't find Doctor Jiang?"
Shen Cheng nodded: "Well, I gave her some tickets as a thank you fee."
Li Wen was a little regretful: "I thought you could have a relationship with Dr. Jiang. I think you two are quite a good match. You both look good."
Marriage?
When these two words appeared, a pair of lively eyes and a soft voice flashed through his mind involuntarily.
Shen Cheng shook his head subconsciously. What was he thinking? She was just a little girl.
The two men walked towards the military area, when suddenly a strong gust of wind came towards them. Shen Cheng kicked sideways, forcing the man to take a step back.
Jiang Pengyu raised his hand and grabbed Shen Cheng's wrist, smiling in a way that made him want to be beaten: "Old Shen, you reacted well. Come on, come on, I want to talk to you about something."
"What's the matter?" Shen Cheng retracted his foot.
Jiang Pengyu hooked his arm around his neck and said in a brotherly tone, "How is our relationship?"
Shen Cheng is very familiar with him.
With such a shabby smile, he must be asking for something.
Without saying anything, he raised his hand and hit his arm: "Not so good."
"No, I really have something to tell you." Jiang Pengyu quickly chased after him: "This concerns your happiness for most of your future life."
