Chapter 64 Still Needs Effort
On this day, Jiang Nianzi had a rare chance to rest. She lay on the bed, wrapped in the hard quilt and sighed.
I have some money now, but I still need to buy a sewing machine.
I dare not spend money carelessly.
Just as I was thinking this, I saw Jiang Xue coming over with a thick quilt.
Although it is also hard, it can increase the thickness.
She covered Jiang Nianzi with the quilt and wrapped her tightly: "The weather has been getting colder recently. Mom said you are weak, so you should cover yourself with this quilt first."
There were only a few quilts at home. Jiang Nianzi frowned and said, "Cover me. Why are you and mom covering me?"
Jiang Xueyun said nonchalantly, "Mom said that we still have an old quilt at home that can be used if we dig it out."
"No, that's even less warm. Take it away."
Jiang Nianzi disagreed.
Jiang Xue insisted: "Listen to me, Zizi. You are the weakest in our family. You get sick easily. If you get sick, you may lose half your life. Mom and I are in good health, unlike you."
"No matter how healthy you are, you can't resist freezing." Jiang Nianzi sighed, "Okay, no need to argue. Last time, a comrade from the People's Liberation Army I saved gave me a lot of coupons. Let me take a look. Let's go buy some mattresses tomorrow."
Let's just get through this winter first. As for the sewing machine, why not rent it for the time being? Jiang Nianzi thought so.
It's snowing today, and there's heavy snow outside, so Jiang Cheng and Jiang Doudou can't go up the mountain to collect herbs.
The whole family stayed at home.
Coal is too expensive, so people in the village burn firewood, which they chop in the mountains.
Fortunately, now the whole family is wearing new clothes made of cotton cloth, so they won't catch so much cold.
Jiang Nianzi used to think that she had improved the conditions at home quite a lot.
At least now they have rice to eat every day and don't have to go hungry anymore.
But when winter comes, all the poverty problems in the family arise.
Think about the books I read in the past. How come those people who were reborn and traveled back in time became rich so quickly?
It turns out that she is too poor.
No, she still had to go to the military hospital. The conditions at home had to improve quickly. She couldn't be lazy any longer.
Jiang Nianzi immediately sat up from the bed: "Sister, shall we go to the town?"
"What are you going to do in town?" Jiang Xue asked?
Jiang Nianzi clenched her fist and said, "I bought mattresses, coal, and things for the winter. I bought everything."
Jiang Xue knew that she had some money, and hesitated for a while: "But didn't you say that you wanted to keep it to buy another sewing machine? And you also want to open a clothing store."
"Then we'll think about it later and see if we can rent another one."
As Jiang Nianzi spoke, she thought of what she had not finished.
I quickly got up and prepared the whitening creams ordered by Zhao Fangru's customers.
A total of sixty-five bottles of whitening cream.
Don't keep others in suspense.
If she hangs on any longer, she will lose her life.
After working hard for a whole morning, I finally finished making the whitening cream.
Jiang Nianzi was just about to take Jiang Xue and Jiang Cheng to the town when she heard voices coming from the main room.
It was Jiang Hu's voice.
The voice sounded a little anxious.
Jiang Nianzi walked out of the room and came into the main room.
"Brother Hu, what's wrong?"
When Jiang Hu saw Jiang Nianzi, he felt like he had found his backbone.
"Zizi, my dog Tiedan has a fever, please go and check on him."
Tiedan'er is the child Zhang Lingling gave birth to some time ago. It is said that he has a bad name but is easy to raise.
It was still a baby.
When a baby has a fever, you must be careful.
Jiang Nianzi said, "Oh!" and said to him, "Then go back quickly, wet the towel with warm water, and wipe Tiedan's forehead, back, and neck... I'll go to my grandma's house to get some herbs first."
"Okay." Jiang Hu turned around and ran out after hearing that.
Jiang Nianzi remembered something and yelled at him, "Brother Huzi, remember not to wipe your belly."
From a distance, Jiang Hu responded, and Jiang Nianzi finally felt relieved.
Facing the snow as big as goose feathers, Jiang Nianzi and Jiang Chengshen walked towards Old Lady Liang with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
Jiang Xue was busy making clothes to fulfill those twelve orders, and Ding Hongmei helped her.
It was snowing heavily outside. Ding Hongmei knew her daughter's health and didn't want Jiang Nianzi to go there at all. In her eyes, no one was more important than her daughter.
But he was just a little kid after all, and if you weren't careful, he could burn someone to death.
Ding Hongmei moved her lips a few times, but in the end she said nothing and just let Jiang Cheng hold the umbrella for Jiang Nianzi to pass by.
Before leaving, he did not forget to tell Jiang Cheng: "Walk ahead, Zizi, and block the snow."
Jiang Cheng let out an "eh", so now, Jiang Nianzi was almost blocked behind Jiang Cheng's broad back, and he held Jiang Nianzi with one hand.
"Zizi, slow down, don't fall."
The snow was falling so heavily that Jiang Cheng simply squatted down and said, "Come on, I'll carry you."
Jiang Nianzi came here from the book and knew that this body had not been well taken care of since her mother's womb and was very weak.
So I started exercising every day very early on.
She does yoga at night and runs to the town clinic during the day, treating it as exercise.
But she underestimated her poor physical condition in the womb.
The cold wind and snow penetrated her bones, and she felt her breathing quicken.
This is because she has been taking care of her body during this period and is not as weak as she was at the beginning.
Then she didn't insist and just lay on Jiang Cheng's back.
Jiang Cheng is very strong and he can carry Jiang Nianzi on his back in the snow with ease.
Jiang Nianzi buried her head in Jiang Cheng's back to avoid the cold wind, and held the umbrella handle tightly with both hands.
Fortunately, the journey was not far, and after getting some medicine from the old lady, the two quickly arrived at Jiang Hu's house.
Jiang Hu was following Jiang Nianzi's instructions and using warm water to cool the child down.
However, this idiot, in such a cold day, actually stripped the child naked and put him on the bed to wipe...
Jiang Nianzi just felt her head buzzing.
She quickly ran over and wrapped the child up, then touched the child's forehead and found that it was indeed very hot.
Jiang Nianzi sighed. She really couldn't bear to give such a young child an injection.
So Jiang Nianzi used a traditional remedy. While wiping the child's body with warm water, she asked Jiang Cheng to boil the medicine.
Tiedan was very well behaved. Even when he had a fever, he just lay listlessly in Jiang Nianzi's arms without crying or making any noise.
Zhang Lingling was watching with tears in her eyes.
I always shed tears during the confinement period and my eyes hurt.
Jiang Nianzi hurriedly comforted her: "Sister Ling, don't worry, with me here, Tiedan will be fine, relax and wipe your tears."
Jiang Hu was extremely anxious but could do nothing to help and could only follow Jiang Cheng to boil the medicine.
The boiled medicine was black and became a paste.
After the medicine was boiled, Jiang Cheng spread the medicine paste that had cooled to warm on the gauze according to Jiang Nianzi's instructions, and tied it to Tiedan's forehead.
After doing all this, Jiang Nianzi put Tiedan back into the big quilt and let the child sit next to Zhang Lingling.
Zhang Lingling pulled Jiang Nianzi aside and expressed her gratitude again.
Jiang Nianzi thought about the conditions of Zhang Lingling's family and asked, "Sister Ling, I have a question, but let me make it clear in advance that you should not think that I am helping you and that you must do what I ask of you. Under the condition that it does not affect you, please see if you can help me."
