"Okay," Chen Tan took off the red scarf, looked directly at Li Qiong, and said frankly, "When I was a child, I fell into a brazier and burned my face. It's a bit ugly."
"Oh, you're seriously injured, poor girl. Your parents must be heartbroken."
Li Qiong looked at Chen Tan's face, full of pity.
When he saw her jade-white face on the other side, he was envious and said, "Sister, how old are you? You look younger than my eldest daughter. Who is he to you?"
At the end of her words, she glanced at Qin Li.
Upon hearing this, Qin Li straightened his back imperceptibly and looked at Chen Tan quietly, waiting for her answer.
Even without looking up, Chen Tan could feel the two passionate eyes above his head.
She chose to turn a blind eye and blurted out in a crisp voice, "Sister Qiong, I'm seventeen, and he's my eldest brother."
As soon as the words fell, the air pressure around them suddenly dropped. Chen Tan keenly noticed that the opposite person's gaze had turned from hot to cold and he retracted it.
She lowered her eyes, not daring to look at Qin Li.
She would repay the Qin family's kindness, but not with herself.
Li Qiong didn't notice the subtle changes in the two of them, and personally picked up a few pieces of chicken for Chen Tan.
"Then you must be your mother's daughter in her old age. There's a 10 to 20 year age difference between you and your eldest brother. No wonder he loves you so much. Brothers nowadays are better than we were back then. They all dote on their younger sisters.
My eldest daughter is one year older than you. After graduating from medical school this year, she works as a nurse in our county hospital. She is not as pretty as you."
Li Qiong stared at the good side of Chen Tan's face, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it. "Sister, if you don't dislike me, how about I recognize you as my sister?"
Chen Tan could sense that Li Qiong was a cheerful person, so he immediately raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Okay, Sister Qiong."
"Oh, good, you are such a lovely girl. What kind of cream do you use? How come your skin is so white? Look at my face. I have applied several layers of powder, but it can't cover up the spots."
Hearing her words, Chen Tan's eyes lit up. This was a business that came right to his doorstep.
"This is the facial mask cream my master made himself. Just apply it on your face for half an hour every day.
Look at my face, I just put on a facial mask every night, I never use any vanishing cream or clam oil or anything like that."
After saying that, she raised her head and blinked at Qin Li, begging him not to expose her.
Seeing this, Qin Li's slightly cold face gradually warmed up, and he laughed and cursed in his heart, "You little liar, you just read a few days of medical books and then you can fool people everywhere, you have a lot of guts."
"Is this true?"
Li Qiong didn't believe it, so she raised her hand and touched Shen Tan's face. Seeing that she didn't touch anything, she rubbed it again.
It is soft and smooth, like tofu, and you can’t put it down.
"Tsk tsk, what kind of ointment is that your master has? Is there anything that can cure my yellow spots?"
Li Qiong took out a handkerchief and wiped off the powder on her face, revealing the chloasma underneath.
The middle-aged woman instantly turned into an old woman.
Chen Tan looked at her face and saw that it was due to excessive hormone secretion caused by pregnancy that caused the deposition of melanin, which eventually accumulated into chloasma.
In her previous life, the beauty hospital where she worked was dedicated to researching how to make women more beautiful. This little melasma was not really a big problem.
However, the medicines in this era are limited, so internal and external conditioning are needed.
But she has spiritual spring water, which is comparable to any medicine.
"My master actually has a secret recipe for whitening and removing freckles. When I get back, I'll ask my master to prepare a bottle for you. How about I send it to you in three days?"
"Okay, okay," Li Qiong excitedly grasped Chen Tan's hand, "I don't ask to be as white as you, I'll be satisfied as long as I can get rid of these spots on my face."
"Hurry up and eat, the food is getting cold."
Qin Li saw Li Qiong holding Chen Tan's soft hand and was reluctant to let go, so he interrupted them.
"Yes, come eat quickly. Wait a minute, I'll take you to my house to get acquainted with the place," Li Qiong said with a smile as she poured Chen Tan a bowl of freshly served duck soup. "After all this talk, I still don't know where you live. What's your last name?"
"We are from the Hongyao Brigade under Xiangyang Commune. My name is Chentan, which means sandalwood."
After Chen Tan introduced himself, he looked at Qin Li and felt a little embarrassed to speak.
Qin Li put down his chopsticks, supported his chin with his big, bony hands, and glared at her.
Just now, Li Qiong said that he was old, which made him feel uncomfortable. This little girl avoided talking to him.
Did he embarrass her like that?
You don't even want to say his name?
But Li Qiong ignored him directly and looked at Chen Tan with a smile, "Chen Tan, this name is really nice. When you come to the city in the future, just go to my house. My girls will definitely like you."
"Okay, I'll definitely visit you."
Chen Tan and Li Qiong chatted and had a very pleasant meal.
Only Qin Li, who was "ten or twenty years older", stroked his beard, looking thoughtful.
There were three adults and one child, all with good appetites, and they finished all the dishes on the table.
When they separated, Li Qiong invited Chen Tan to her house, but Chen Tan refused.
Chen Tan said that she would go to Li Qiong's house after she made the ointment.
Li Qiong did not force it and repeated the location of the meat processing plant, as well as the floor and door number where she lived.
When Chen Tan arrives, just report her name to the security department and she can enter.
Chen Tan was also happy to make friends with her because the meat processing plant was the richest unit in the county.
Li Qiong's eldest daughter works in the county hospital. If the two of them can expand the sales of the whitening and freckle-removing mask, she will be able to earn enough money for college tuition sooner.
After leaving the restaurant, she and Qin Li carried bags and went to the pharmaceutical factory again to buy herbs and beeswax to make whitening and freckle-removing masks before returning.
When the two arrived at the gate of the county town, the educated youth had already arrived. Judging from the things they were carrying, they should have been sent by their families.
