Chapter 74 Family Action

After returning home, Jiang Xue told Jiang Nianzi that the person she was dating would come to visit her home tomorrow.

Jiang Nianzi was stunned for a moment. All the things happened at the same time?

Shen Cheng confesses his love today, and his blind date comes to his house tomorrow?

Should we say that she and Shen Cheng are destined to be together or not?

Jiang Nianzi smiled. She didn't even know what the other person was like, so why was she thinking so much?

Jiang Cheng sold the herbs he collected for 40 yuan at Deyuan Clinic and for 180 yuan in the county town, a total of 220 yuan.

It sounds like a lot, but it is mostly the result of Jiang Cheng plucking all the good stuff from the nearby mountains.

This is not a sustainable business.

Jiang Nianzi was thinking about what kind of way out she should find for her brother when Jiang Cheng came into the room.

He was holding a black cloth bag in his hand.

Jiang Nianzi looked up at him: "Brother, what's wrong?"

Jiang Cheng smiled and handed the bag to her: "Zizi, take a look."

Jiang Nianzi thought it was something delicious, so she went over to take a look, and found that the bag was full of money.

"Brother, what are you doing?" Jiang Nianzi raised her head and looked at him steadily.

Jiang Cheng grinned, "Zizi, you used to earn money for the family, but now it's finally my turn to earn money. I want to give you all the money. This is 200 yuan from selling herbs, and I'm keeping 20 yuan."

Two hundred dollars is a huge sum of money for a family like theirs.

Jiang Nianzi didn't expect Jiang Cheng to give it to her just as he said.

Jiang Cheng saw her staring at him blankly, smiled, patted her head, and sat on her bed.

"Ever since you started working at the clinic, you've been responsible for all the expenses of the family. I often feel like I'm a useless brother, and everything has to be done by my sister. Even the pressure of the family falls on you... Last time I saw you were sick, and you hadn't recovered yet, but you went to work at the clinic. I felt bad."

Jiang Cheng lowered his head, and as he spoke, a feeling of guilt welled up in his heart.

They can have full meals instead of corn porridge with more water and less ingredients. They can cover themselves with warm quilts in the winter and no longer suffer from the cold. They can have eggs to eat, maltose to drink, and meat to eat.

All of this is thanks to my sister alone.

It was indeed he who went to collect the herbs, but if his sister had not taught him about herbs, he would have been no different from anyone else in the village.

You might even step on the baby's feet when you pass by it.

I have no idea what can be sold and what cannot be sold.

Just because he has been holding back and not saying anything doesn't mean he doesn't understand anything.

Seeing his sister working hard to support the family, he always wanted to work harder so that his sister wouldn't have to work so hard.

So when he got the money, the first thing he thought of was giving it to his sister.

"Zizi, you should keep this money. If you don't, I will feel useless and have made no contribution to this family."

Jiang Nianzi originally wanted to refuse, but when she saw the deep sense of guilt in his eyes, she realized how much pressure her brother must have been under since she had been earning money to support the family all this time.

If he was a lazy person who loved eating and drinking, he would definitely hope that she worked as hard as possible to earn money.

But he is not, he is a brother who loves his sister deeply.

Seeing my sister taking care of household affairs while I can't help at all, I always feel guilty.

Jiang Nianzi sighed, put the money away, and prepared to leave some things for him to take care of after opening the store.

As investment capital.

"Brother, you are so nice. I won't be polite to you then."

Seeing Jiang Nianzi accept it, Jiang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that his sister would not accept it.

Jiang Cheng raised his hand and rubbed her head, saying, "Our Zizi is so well behaved."

-

Jiang Nianzi was exhausted and planned to take a bath. Jiang Cheng boiled a large pot of water for her and poured it into a wooden barrel, adding cold water. Jiang Nianzi took off her clothes and took a bath in the barrel.

She hasn't taken a bath in too long.

The weather was too cold, so most of the time she just wet a towel and wiped it briefly.

After soaking in the bath water, Jiang Nianzi realized that her skin had become much whiter.

The ultraviolet rays here are strong, which is why people are so tanned.

It was a conservative era, and the original owner always wore long clothes and long pants, and her skin was naturally much whiter.

After applying skin-rejuvenating cream and whitening cream every day, my skin has become whiter and whiter.

After taking a bath, Jiang Nianzi applied skin-softening cream on her body and hands. After applying it for a while, she suddenly thought of a problem.

She slowly opened her palms.

Oops, the phone number is gone, only some tiny traces can be seen.

Jiang Nianzi was not in a hurry.

Shen Cheng liked her, but she didn't have that kind of feeling towards Shen Cheng, and in fact, she had no intention of calling him.

Once it’s gone, it’s gone.

But she must go to the military hospital. If they are really destined to be together, then they can talk about it after they meet.

Jiang Nianzi was woken up early the next morning.

She is taking a break today. Grandpa Zhang said that the weather is too cold and he also needs to take a break, so he will close the shop temporarily.

Saying I was taking a rest was a lie, the real reason was that I was coming to see grandma.

After leaving the house, Jiang Nianzi finally understood why there was so much noise.

The whole family is cleaning.

Jiang Nianzi rubbed her eyes: "What is this for?"

Jiang Doudou was wiping the wooden table with a grunt while answering Jiang Nianzi in a baby voice.

"Sister, my brother-in-law is coming today, and Mom said we should clean the house first so we don't make fun of him."

Jiang Xue was peeling radishes. Upon hearing what she said, she slapped Jiang Doudou in the face, making him scream.

"What do you mean by brother-in-law or not? What are you talking about? He's just a blind date, just a date. I'm telling you, Jiang Doudou, when he shows up, don't shout nonsense, or else people will think your sister is determined to marry him."

Jiang Doudou rubbed his head and looked at Jiang Nianzi with moist eyes, hoping that his gentle second sister could plead for him.

As a result, Jiang Nianzi came over and slapped him on the head as well, but her slap was relatively gentle.

"Big sister is right, Doudou, you can't shout nonsense."

Jiang Doudou felt wronged, but she was also quite obedient.

Even Mrs. Liang and Grandpa Zhang came here to help.

The whole family worked together to clean the house thoroughly and cooked a lot of dishes. They just had to wait for people to come home and heat them up.

Jiang Nianzi saw the family busy at work and wanted to help, but everyone told her to stop.

Jiang Xue also pushed her into the house and asked her to dress up.

Her original words were: "Zizi, you are the protagonist today, you don't have to work hard. Your task is to dress yourself up beautifully and blind that dog...man's eyes. Don't let him think that you can't find anyone better than him."

Jiang Nianzi: "..."

Well, she dresses up, which is also a respect for her blind date partner.

She changed into the red cotton dress, let her hair down, and put on a wide white headband that Jiang Xue had made herself.

Even without makeup, she is still stunningly beautiful.

Seeing Jiang Nianzi so beautiful after dressing up casually, Jiang Xue pounded her fist and said, "Zizi, you are so beautiful. Let's be reserved for a while and don't fall too quickly. Let him fall."
