Chapter 3: The Old Man Being Urged to Get Married

At this time, in a certain military camp.

Jiang Pengyu was discussing the failure of the last exercise with his comrade. When he glanced sideways, he saw the other party sitting lazily in a chair, studying his Type 81 rifle.

"Old Shen, did you hear what I said?" Jiang Pengyu asked unhappily.

The other party then turned his gaze and looked towards Jiang Pengyu. His deep peach blossom eyes were slightly raised, and the teardrop mole at the end of his eye added a touch of charm.

But the other person had a cold face, without any hint of charm, and there was a hint of sharpness between his brows.

Seeing his attractive face, Jiang Pengyu couldn't help laughing: "You know what, with this face, it's no wonder that people who don't know you think you're a gigolo."

There isn't any man that good-looking. Fortunately, he usually has a cold face that can scare people.

Shen Cheng groaned, put his rifle aside, leaned back, and smiled uninhibitedly in his peach blossom eyes: "But you lost to that pretty boy, how does it feel?"

"Fuck you."

Jiang Pengyu was so angry at his arrogant look that his teeth itched and he wanted to punch him.

At this moment, the phone on the desk rang.

Jiang Pengyu immediately picked up the phone.

Jiang Nianzi stood aside, quietly waiting for Ding Hongmei and the so-called cousin to call.

She remembered that in the book, Jiang Nianzi, the white moonlight who died early, did have a cousin.

Moreover, the opponent is very powerful and has already reached the level of a regular regiment.

Hearing her nephew's voice, Ding Hongmei's eyes curved with smile.

The two chatted about a lot of family matters, and then Ding Hongmei said, "Pengyu, when are you going home? You haven't been home for three years."

Jiang Pengyu's head hurts whenever he thinks about going home.

Needless to say, grandma and second aunt must be planning to arrange his marriage again.

"Ah... this..." He desperately winked at Shen Cheng. This was the secret signal between the two brothers.

Once there is a call from home mentioning a blind date, the other person will quickly answer the call.

Seeing Jiang Pengyu's nervous look, Shen Cheng chuckled secretly and then slowly took the phone.

"Hello, auntie, it's me."

Hearing Shen Cheng's voice on the phone, Ding Hongmei was a little confused: "Xiao Cheng, why is it you again? Where is Peng Yu?"

Shen Cheng glanced at Jiang Pengyu and said with a half-smile: "Oh, there's something going on in the group, so he's busy."

Ding Hongmei knew very well that her nephew was trying to avoid a blind date again.

She sighed helplessly: "Okay, tell him to remember to go home when he has time. If he doesn't come home, don't come back in the future."

A naked threat.

Shen Cheng tried hard to hold back his laughter: "Okay, I'll tell him."

The phone call was expensive, so Ding Hongmei cut to the chase: "Also, tell Peng Yu not to send money home. We don't need any money at home, so let him keep it as his wife's capital."

After explaining the important matters, Ding Hongmei hung up the phone.

Jiang Pengyu walked over and asked Shen Cheng: "What did my aunt say to you?"

Shen Cheng spread his hands and shrugged helplessly: "I told you to go home quickly, otherwise don't go back in the future."

Jiang Pengyu: “…”

He raised his head and sighed, then said with great sorrow: "How about you accompany me back?"

"Go away." Shen Cheng elbowed him.

Here, Ding Hongmei hung up the phone and complained to her daughter: "What's wrong with the group? Your cousin thought I didn't know what he was thinking. Every time I mentioned blind dates, he ran away as fast as a rabbit, and every time he asked Shen Cheng to answer the phone. Don't think I don't know what's going on in his mind."

Shen Cheng!

Jiang Nianzi paused, and suddenly remembered what she had forgotten.

The hero of this book is called Shen Cheng.

He is the comrade-in-arms of Jiang Nianzi's cousin.

Jiang Nianzi was thinking a lot, but she didn't forget to answer Ding Hongmei.

"Mom, my cousin doesn't want to get married now. You and grandma shouldn't force him. When he meets his destiny, he will think about it on his own initiative."

"Fate?" Ding Hongmei laughed: "There are so many men in the barracks, what kind of fate can he meet? If he really met fate, he wouldn't be unmarried at the age of 28."

In this era, if you are 28 and not married, you are already considered an older young person.

Jiang Nianzi let out an "owl" and seemed to be thinking about something.

Ding Hongmei continued, "Your cousin is grateful and sends money home every month, but we can't take his money. It's pitiful enough that we don't have parents to take care of us. We won't even have a wife to marry by then."

So Ding Hongmei saved all the money that Jiang Pengyu sent back and didn't touch a single cent.

Jiang Nianzi was somewhat moved by this.

The family conditions are so bad, if it were someone else, they would have been eyeing the money a long time ago.

But Ding Hongmei didn't have that. Although she was aggressive, she had a bottom line.

The two came to town and, in addition to calling their cousin, also bought some things.

Jiang Nianzi saw Ding Hongmei groping in an oil-paper bag from her belt, rummaging through it for a few times before taking out the money. It was all small coins, and it was estimated that all together it was only about two yuan.

Her hands were covered with cracks, and because she worked in the fields all year round, the cracks were stained with mud, making them look black and dirty.

"Mom, what are you buying?" Jiang Nianzi asked.

Ding Hongmei took her hand and walked to the skin care products area with a smile: "Mom will buy you some clam oil. Winter is coming soon. Didn't you run out of the one you bought last time?"

Listening to Ding Hongmei's crisp voice, Jiang Nianzi didn't know what she felt in her heart.

It was as if a lump suddenly collapsed in my heart.

She has been without a mother since she was young and has never known what it feels like to be loved by a mother.

After traveling to this book, although she knew that the original owner Jiang Nianzi was a pet, she was still unable to put herself in her shoes.

Because it felt like a stolen relationship.

She is not the original owner.

Ding Hongmei didn't love her either.

However, at this moment, seeing Ding Hongmei carefully counting the money with her chapped hands just to buy clam oil for her, she could no longer hold back her tears.

Even though the family was so poor, Ding Hongmei was still thinking about buying things she needed.

Afraid that Ding Hongmei would see it, she quickly raised her hand to wipe away her tears and said in a low voice, "Mom, no more clam oil. Grandma has always taught me Chinese medicine, and I know what can protect my face."

As she spoke, she pulled Ding Hongmei out.

“Hey, hey…”

Ding Hongmei kept yelling, but in the end she failed to make the purchase.

Knowing that the girl was worried about the money, Ding Hongmei was very upset.

Jiang Nianzi has been thinking about how to make money to improve the living conditions of her family. Isn't this the solution?

She always remembered that her main career was as a fighting athlete, but she forgot that she was also a famous doctor.

With the Chinese medicine skills her grandfather taught her, it shouldn't be difficult for her to make some money.

Jiang Nianzhi is a man of action, but her body is a little frail and she breathes heavily after every step.

When she got home, she put on her backpack and went to her grandmother's house without saying a word.

In order to avoid the situation where she didn't know the old lady, Jiang Nianzi brought the very young Jiang Doudou with her when she went.

The old lady didn't know that Jiang Nianzi fell into the water. If she knew, she would scold Jiang Cheng to death.

Jiang Doudou saw the old lady and happily rushed over to hug her legs: "Grandma, Doudou missed you."

"You little bastard, what the hell do you want? Don't think I don't know you're just greedy for food."

The old lady spoke with a brisk voice.

Even though she was scolding her grandson, there was a smile in her eyes.

It turns out that this is the old lady in the book who can curse people to death.

Jiang Nianzi smiled and walked over with small steps.

"Grandma." She called out.

When the old lady saw her, she smiled so much that her eyes narrowed: "Hey, isn't this my Nianbao? It's cold outside, come in quickly, I'll lay an egg for you."

"Milk, I want to eat too." Jiang Doudou shouted.

The old lady poked his nose with amusement and said, "Come on, come on, here you go. Let me make it clear first, your sister is not in good health, she needs to take more good food. Sister will eat two and you can eat one."

Being able to eat an egg, let alone one, even half one, would make Jiang Doudou happy for a long time.

"Oh, okay."

The old lady took Jiang Doudou to the kitchen, and did not forget to turn around and ask Jiang Nianzi to go to the kang to rest first.

After reading the prelude to this book, Jiang Nianzi knew that the old lady’s conditions were not very good.

It's just that because she is the only doctor in the village, when people go to her for treatment and have no money, they will give her some good things as medical expenses.

The old lady had a sharp tongue but a kind heart. Knowing that the villagers had no money to see a doctor, she never charged them, but gave them small things as compensation to supplement the family income.

She never ate the eggs that others used as medical expenses, and always saved them for Jiang Nianzi.

The old lady's medical skills were not very good and she could only treat colds and flu.

Wrapped in the quilt, Jiang Nianzi sniffed suddenly. The old lady trusted her blindly and always thought she was the smartest. So, if she stood out a little, it shouldn't arouse her suspicion, right?

While Jiang Nianzi was thinking, the old lady brought Jiang Doudou out.

Each of them held a bowl in his hand.

"Come, Nianbao, eat eggs."

"Hey, here I come."

The old lady felt sorry for her, and Jiang Nianzi didn't want to eat alone.

Although it is called a fried egg, there is actually no oil in it. However, it is already the most popular food in the family.

Jiang Nianzi gave one to the old lady, but she refused to take it. Finally, Jiang Nianzi forced the old lady to take one, saying that she had eaten at home and would vomit if she ate any more.

At the dinner table, Jiang Doudou ate the eggs in small bites. Because they were so delicious, she was reluctant to finish them all at once.

However, the boy saved the egg yolk for Jiang Nianzi.

"Sis, you like to eat egg yolks, here you go." He stared with his pair of dark eyes, and although his eyes were full of reluctance, he was still thinking about his sister.

Jiang Nianzi is always moved by this family.

The weather was getting colder and the kid was still wearing thin patched clothes.

His little hands were chilled by the cold.

Jiang Nianzi finally made up her mind to break the status quo.

"Grandma, I remember you know the Chinese medicine doctor in town, right?"

If you want to make money to improve your family's living conditions, it won't work if you follow the old lady around and treat patients.

Because the patients who came to see the old lady were all from the same village, their living conditions were not good, and the old lady couldn't bear to take their money.

The best way to make money is to go to town and look for opportunities.
