Doctor Yang is the doctor in the village clinic. Whenever anyone in the village is unwell, he will prescribe medicine or give them injections.
"Got it. I'll take her there later!" Jiang Cheng nodded in response, then picked up his bowl and chopsticks and started eating again.
"Manman, don't bother with your sister-in-law. She has a very unforgiving mouth!" Jiang's mother comforted her second daughter-in-law.
Qin Man smiled and nodded. She didn't want to argue too much with Song Mei, a petty and mean woman. She just wanted to let her know that she was not an easy target.
After dinner, the eldest brother Jiang Cheng took the crying Niuniu to Dr. Yang to get anti-inflammatory drugs. Qin Man boiled a large pot of hot water and prepared to give the children a bath herself.
The family used a large wooden tub for bathing. She bathed Xiaoyu first, and then Xiaoli.
These few days, the two children felt the love from their mother for the first time. In the past, their mother only played with them, but never bathed them or talked to them.
They like their current mother more.
"Mom, Xiao Li likes you!"
Xiao Li suddenly stretched out her little hands, hugged her mother's neck and kissed her on the face.
Qin Man suddenly felt her nose sore and she felt like crying.
She also kissed Xiao Li on the face.
"Mom loves you too!"
Xiao Li is a quiet child with a calm temperament, while Xiao Yu is more lively and cheerful. The personalities of the two siblings complement each other perfectly.
The children sleep with their grandparents. They have been sleeping with them since they were young. But tonight, Xiaoyu suddenly asked to sleep with her parents.
Qin Man agreed immediately. Jiang Cong was writing quickly under the light when he saw Qin Man come in with her two children.
"The children will sleep with us tonight!" Qin Man explained.
"Okay, take them to sleep first!" Jiang Cong smiled at her tenderly.
Qin Man also took a shower as she had sweated a lot today.
She slept in the innermost part and the children slept in the middle. After Jiang Cong washed up, he lay down on the outer side and turned off the electricity.
The bed is a bit small, and it's a bit crowded for a family of four to sleep together, but the sense of happiness is overwhelming.
In the middle of the night, the mother and her two children were sleeping soundly, except for a few ignorant mosquitoes that were bothering them.
Jiang Cong stood up and chased away mosquitoes for them. Seeing that Qin Man was sweating, he took a palm-leaf fan and fanned her.
The next morning, Jiang Cong got up before dawn and used a basket to pack persimmons. He saw his sister-in-law packing up her things and taking Niuniu out.
It seems that she has gone back to her parents' home. I heard faint quarreling in my eldest brother's room last night.
Jiang's mother knew that they were going to the county to sell persimmons, so she got up early to cook something for them and gave each of them a bowl of noodles.
Qin Man was still sleeping soundly. Jiang Cong prepared everything and then came into the room to wake her up.
He gently pushed her between two children who were sleeping sprawled out.
Qin Man opened her eyes dazedly, and what she saw was a handsome face full of smiles. She was completely obsessed with him.
Mad, this face is really rooted in her heart, it's so beautiful.
Jiang Cong made a hushed gesture to her, indicating that she should not disturb the child, and then said softly:
"Get up and eat!"
Qin Man nodded, stretched her waist, stood up, and walked carefully past the children.
After quickly washing up and eating noodles, Jiang's mother fried her an egg using the eggs she had saved over the past two days.
It's not that she is partial, she treats both daughters-in-law equally, but it is obvious that the second daughter-in-law is more capable than the eldest daughter-in-law. The elders prefer those who are more sensible.
Jiang Cong carried the load, one hundred on each side, weighing nearly 100 pounds, but he didn't seem to breathe hard. Jiang's mother found two pieces of cloth to cover him.
"The sun will be too strong soon, don't let it get sunburned!"
In fact, it was also for the purpose of concealing their tracks. After all, these wild persimmons were not their own and if they met villagers, they would inevitably be gossiped about.
After getting ready, the couple went to the village entrance to wait for the bus. The bus arrived on time and they had to buy tickets as soon as they got on the bus.
It costs one cent per person to go to the county, Jiang Cong paid two cents. There were only six or seven people on the bus, and Qin Man found a seat by the window and sat down.
The driver honked the horn and waited for two minutes. When he was about to leave, the lady who was collecting the money on the bus called the driver.
"Wait, there's someone else!"
A moment later, Zhang Lanlan ran up, panting and unable to catch her breath.
She saw Jiang Cong and his wife at a glance, but there seemed to be only Jiang Cong in her eyes, and her eyes lit up.
After she paid the money, she sat down next to Jiang Cong.
"Brother Jiang Cong, are you going to the county too?"
Jiang Cong didn't even look at her, but just said coldly:
“Is this car going somewhere else?”
Qin Man wanted to laugh, but she looked out the window and held back. The buses of this era were indeed very old-fashioned, and the whole car was shaking as it drove on the road.
The seats were old and the road was not very smooth, it felt like it would collapse at any time if bumped into.
Zhang Lanlan couldn't hold back the emotion on her face, but she still maintained an awkward smile.
"Brother Jiang Cong, I went to the county for an interview today. I will work in a hotel in the county in the future, and the salary is thirty dollars a month!" She continued to talk to Jiang Cong, but Jiang Cong didn't want to pay attention to her.
