Chapter 13

Once inside the house, Jiang Xue was completely back to her usual self, no longer weak.

Seeing her sister suddenly acting silly, Jiang Xue couldn’t help but laugh: “Sister, am I clever? To deal with people like that, you have to be direct, hit them where it hurts.”

Xu Cuicui liked A Yuan, but A Yuan liked Jiang Xue.

However, Jiang Xue had already rejected A Yuan.

But Xu Cuicui, because A Yuan liked her, kept making trouble for her. She didn’t do anything bad, but she was always annoying, making Jiang Xue very annoyed.

So Jiang Xue always dealt with Xu Cuicui like this.

Jiang Nianzi was amused by her.

Xu Cuicui had just been reprimanded by A Yuan, as soon as she entered the house, she saw Jiang Nianzi laughing, and she couldn’t help but spit: “Bah, both sisters are no good, the older one is a bitch, and the younger one is a bitch too.”

The word “bitch” was quite offensive.

Jiang Nianzi was about to get angry, but Jiang Xue couldn’t hold back either.

“Xu Cuicui, are you sick? How did my Zizi offend you?”

She quickly walked over, lowering her voice and getting close to Xu Cuicui: “You should be thankful that it’s Yanzi’s wedding today, I don’t want to make a scene with you. I’m warning you, next time I hear you say anything bad about my sister, I’ll not only tear your mouth apart, but I’ll also ruin your reputation.”

Everyone in the village said that the two Jiang sisters, the older one was gentle and meek, and the younger one was delicate and beautiful.

Only Xu Cuicui, who had clashed with her countless times, knew that Jiang Xue wasn’t meek at all.

She just knew how to act.

Before, she had been pressed against the grass and beaten for gossiping about Jiang Nianzi.

Hearing this, Xu Cuicui took a step back in fear, finding an excuse: “I didn’t mention any names, I wasn’t talking about you two sisters.”

“That’s better.”

Jiang Xue smiled brightly and patted Xu Cuicui’s shoulder.

At this moment, Xu Cuicui’s mother’s voice came from the door: “Cuicui, what are you talking about with Jiang Xue?”

Jiang Xue turned around, smiling happily at Xu’s mother: “Auntie, I haven’t seen Cuicui in a long time, I was just chatting with her.”

“Tsk, you two little girls, your friendship is still so good.” Xu’s mother laughed.

Xu Cuicui glared, her eyes wide with anger.

She was not friends with her.

Jiang Nianzi witnessed Jiang Xue’s double-faced nature once again.

Goodness, she had so many faces.

Xu Cuicui, with her simple mind, was no match for her.

But Jiang Nianzi didn’t care.

Some people, although simple and without any scheming, were just annoying when they spoke.

This little drama ended with Wang Yan’s appearance.

Today was Wang Yan’s wedding, no one wanted to cause trouble on someone’s big day.

As soon as Wang Yan appeared, Xu Cuicui and Jiang Xue both greeted her with smiles.

Jiang Nianzi looked at Wang Yan’s makeup and sighed in surprise.

Goodness, her makeup skills were terrible.

Her face was like a monkey’s butt, with thick eyebrows, red lips, ugly and eye-catching.

She thought Wang Yan’s features were pretty good, who in the world did her makeup?

But this kind of makeup seemed to be popular in the countryside in this era.

Jiang Nianzi didn’t say anything.

However, as soon as they entered the room, she saw Wang Yan pulling Jiang Xue to complain: “Ah Xue, look at my face, isn’t it ugly?”

It was ten times uglier than usual.

But her mother said it was beautiful, and she insisted on forcing her aunt to put on this hideous makeup.

Jiang Xue couldn’t help but say: “It’s really ugly, just bear with it, it’ll be over after today.”

She had a good relationship with Wang Yan, she wasn’t being insincere.

She wanted to say it as soon as she saw it, but even though they were good friends, she knew her limits.

Only when she heard Wang Yan say it herself did she dare to say it.

“No, A Zeng will be scared to death when he sees me. I don’t want to be so ugly on my wedding day. Ah Xue, why don’t you redo my makeup? There’s still some time before the auspicious hour.”

“But I can’t.”

Perhaps infected by the joy of the newlyweds, Jiang Nianzi was in a good mood.

Seeing that no one knew how to do makeup, Jiang Nianzi volunteered: “Yanzi sister, why don’t I do it for you?”

“You?” Jiang Xue questioned before Wang Yan: “When did you learn to do this?”

Jiang Nianzi touched her nose and found an excuse: “I work at the clinic, I met a beautiful girl, and she taught me.”

Before Jiang Xue could say anything, Wang Yan, as if she had found a savior, grabbed Jiang Nianzi’s hand: “That’s great, come on, Zizi, quickly redo my makeup.”

She had a thick layer of foundation on her face, Jiang Nianzi asked someone to bring a basin of hot water, wet a towel, and gently wiped off the previous makeup.

Just using a towel wouldn’t remove the dirt on the surface of the pores, but there was no other way, conditions were limited.

This gave Jiang Nianzi another business opportunity.

She could make facial soap, the cost of facial soap wasn’t as expensive as whitening cream, and it was also easy to use.

But she quickly dismissed the idea, too much is too much, she should focus on opening up the whitening cream market first.

Speaking of which, after removing Wang Yan’s makeup, Jiang Nianzi asked her: “Yanzi sister, do you have any cold cream?”

She didn’t have any, but she was getting married, right?

Her mother generously bought her a bag of cold cream.

“I’ll get it for you.”

Wang Yan took out the cold cream and handed it to Jiang Nianzi.

Jiang Nianzi squeezed out a thick dollop, making Wang Yan feel sorry for it.

Wang Yan’s skin was dry, Jiang Nianzi applied and pressed the cold cream on her face until it was fully absorbed, her skin felt moisturized, and then she applied the foundation.

There weren’t many makeup products now, sunscreen and isolation were all nonsense.

Wang Yan only had foundation, which was why Jiang Nianzi dared to use so much cold cream on her face.

Wang Yan’s features were delicate, Jiang Nianzi didn’t put too much foundation on her.

A light layer, she even rubbed it on her neck, following the same steps as her face.

The girls in the village who were close to Wang Yan were all gathered in the room, watching Jiang Nianzi do Wang Yan’s makeup.

Conditions were limited, Jiang Nianzi used a charcoal pencil to draw Wang Yan’s eyebrows, contour, and eyeliner.

One charcoal pencil to rule them all.

Seeing Jiang Nianzi applying a black line on Wang Yan’s nose, the people around frowned, thinking that it didn’t look as good as before.

Wang Yan was also a little worried.

After laying the foundation, Jiang Nianzi started to apply the contouring with her fingers.

Then she applied some foundation on the bridge of her nose, making it a little fairer, visually, it would make the bridge of her nose look more prominent.

Because her features were delicate, even when Jiang Nianzi contoured, the marks were very faint.

Everyone watched as Jiang Nianzi painted on Wang Yan’s face.

Then, it was as if she had become a different person.

For the eyeshadow, she used a light pink tissue to rub out the powder, and Jiang Nianzi used a heated wooden stick to curl Wang Yan’s eyelashes.

The last step, the finishing touch.

Applying lipstick.

Jiang Nianzi squeezed out some cold cream, applied it to her lips, then took a watermelon-colored tissue and placed it on Wang Yan’s lips, smiling: “Yanzi sister, pucker up.”

Wang Yan did as she was told.

Lips are the key to a person’s complexion, no matter how good the makeup is, if the lips don’t have color, it won’t be very striking.

As soon as the lip color came out, the makeup, which didn’t look very good before, was instantly elevated.

Someone couldn’t help but say: “Wow, a transformation, this is so beautiful.”

“Yanzi sister, look, are you satisfied?” Jiang Nianzi handed her a mirror.

Wang Yan thought they were joking, she was shocked when she saw herself in the mirror.

“This, is this me?” She looked at Jiang Nianzi in disbelief.

Jiang Nianzi smiled sweetly: “Of course it’s you, Yanzi sister, you’re the most beautiful bride today.”

Who wouldn’t love to hear that?

Wang Yan happily smiled: “Zizi, you’re amazing.”

She didn’t know that she could be so beautiful.

Wang Yan spoke, and the others also praised Jiang Nianzi.

Someone said: “We just don’t know, we’re all girls from the same village, why is there such a big difference? Zizi is so beautiful, and she can do makeup, I don’t have anything.”

Jiang Xue said proudly: “Our Zizi has been smart since she was a child, she learns everything quickly, you can’t envy her. But if you get married someday, you can ask our Zizi for help.”

This made everyone laugh.

Wang Yan, with her makeup on, was several times prettier than she was without it.

Soon, the groom arrived, Jiang Nianzi joined Jiang Xue and the others to celebrate, and she got several red envelopes.

The money wasn’t much, but it was festive.

–

In the military camp.

Jiang Pengyu had just received a mission and went out, and in a blink of an eye, Shen Cheng also received a mission.

A village in Zichen County, Feng Province, had been hit by torrential rain for three days, causing floods, they had to go there for rescue.

Hearing Zichen County, Shen Cheng frowned, wasn’t that the county town where Pengyu’s family lived?

On the other side, Jiang Nianzi, after attending the wedding banquet, returned to the clinic.

The patients she had seen in the past few days had only had minor problems.

That day, Zhang Grandpa rushed back from outside, his face very serious: “Zizi, you take care of the shop for Grandpa for the next few days.”

Zhang Grandpa was kind to her, Jiang Nianzi knew how to be grateful.

Seeing his serious expression, Jiang Nianzi guessed what was going on and asked with concern: “Zhang Grandpa, what happened? Where are you going?”

Zhang Grandpa was packing his medicine box: “Daimu Village.”

Hmm?

Jiang Nianzi was puzzled, Zhang Grandpa said: “There’s a flood there, Grandpa is going to help with the disaster relief.”

In case of a disaster, doctors are essential.

As soon as Jiang Nianzi heard this, she immediately said: “I’ll go with you.”

Jiang Nianzi was efficient, more people meant more strength. Zhang Grandpa had a high sense of responsibility, but this was dangerous, he really didn’t dare to take his junior sister’s precious jewel to take risks.

“You can’t go, it’s too dangerous.”

“It’s not dangerous, Grandpa, I’m a good swimmer.”

In a flood, being a good swimmer might not be helpful, but it was definitely safer than not being able to swim.

As a doctor, Jiang Nianzi wanted to contribute her own strength in the face of such a disaster.

In case of a disaster, the army would definitely go to help with relief efforts.

She didn’t want the soldiers to work hard to save people, but then have difficulty with logistics and medical care.

She would contribute her strength without hesitation.

Seeing her insistence, Zhang Grandpa said helplessly: “Okay, then remember to listen to me.”

“Okay.”

Jiang Nianzi agreed readily.

Having received Zhang Grandpa’s permission, she also quickly packed some tools, then followed Zhang Grandpa and got on the car to Daimu Village.

Daimu Village had many mountains, with a large river flowing below, the villagers lived not far from the river.

Before they even entered Daimu Village, the sky started to pour rain.

The large raindrops hit people’s bodies, making them cry out in pain.

The car couldn’t go any further, because the road ahead was narrow.

“Zizi, let’s get off.” Zhang Grandpa said.

Jiang Nianzi obediently put on her medicine box and followed the old man, jumping out of the car and striding forward.
