Chapter 26

Finding someone with a car at this time was like finding a godsend for Jiang Nianzi.

She shook off her previous dejection and waved her hand at the jeep from afar.

Shen Cheng had excellent eyesight.

He recognized the person waving at him from afar.

After all, there were very few people who wrapped themselves up as tightly as she did.

When the car got closer, he slowly stepped on the brakes.

“People’s Liberation Army comrade, can I hitch a ride?”

Before she could see the person, Jiang Nianzi asked politely.

In her mind, people who drove green military jeeps in this era were all soldiers.

Shen Cheng rolled down the window, and the first thing he heard was this soft and flattering voice.

He looked sideways at the little girl, a hint of a smile unconsciously appeared in his eyes: “Get in.”

“It’s you!”

Hearing the familiar voice, Jiang Nianzi was surprised. What kind of fate was this?

She looked at Shen Cheng in surprise, this was a coincidence, it was a coincidence, a coincidence that was too good to be true.

Shen Cheng tapped his fingers on the steering wheel and said again: “Not getting in?”

Jiang Nianzi finally reacted, quickly opened the door and climbed into the passenger seat: “Thank you.”

Her soft voice was as thin as a mosquito, but her tone was very pleasant.

Shen Cheng tilted his head, awkwardly scratching his ear: “Where are you going?”

“I’m going to Qishi Town.”

It was on the way.

Shen Cheng had seen her in Qishi Town, and he was also thinking about her going there.

“Why are you alone here?”

This was a great question, how could Jiang Nianzi be embarrassed to say it?

Say she went to pee in the wilderness and ran too far?

It sounded awkward.

“I was taking the bus home, I got off halfway for something, and when I came back, the bus had already gone…”

Shen Cheng understood and didn’t ask any further.

They both spoke very little along the way, when they reached Qishi Town, Shen Cheng stopped the car: “We’re here.”

“Oh, okay, thank you.”

Jiang Nianzi felt that she should thank him properly for helping her, but she didn’t have anything to thank him with.

So she asked: “Uh… comrade, can you tell me your name?”

She had already gotten out of the car, she leaned against the passenger window, and her eyes twirling as she stared at him.

Shen Cheng rubbed his fingers, turned to look at her, and suddenly, on a whim, he asked: “How old are you?”

“Ah?”

Why suddenly ask her age?

Although she was puzzled why he suddenly asked her age, Jiang Nianzi still honestly answered him: “18…”

18…

Shen Cheng’s brow suddenly twitched.

He was 26…

He put his hand on his forehead, and Shen Cheng said: “Nameless…”

Huh?

Jiang Nianzi was full of question marks, what the heck?

Nameless?

After being puzzled, Jiang Nianzi quickly understood what he meant.

He probably didn’t want to have anything to do with her.

She was very sensible.

She smiled and took a step back, waving goodbye to him: “Then, Nameless brother, goodbye. Thank you today.”

The girl was rejected by him, she didn’t seem angry or annoyed at all, instead, she was smiling.

Although she couldn’t see her face, she could tell from her smiling eyes that she didn’t feel embarrassed.

What was wrong with him?

To a little girl… he actually asked that question out of the blue.

So what if she was the same age as him?

What did he want to do?

Shen Cheng went straight to De Yuan Clinic.

There was only an old lady inside.

Grandma Liu saw the person coming in and greeted him: “Young man, are you here to see a doctor? Have a seat, Doctor Zhang will be back soon, he went out to buy something.”

Only Doctor Zhang?

He frowned and asked the old lady in a low voice: “Doctor Jiang isn’t here?”

As soon as she heard that he was looking for Doctor Jiang, Grandma Liu’s eyes lit up, she looked up and down at Shen Cheng.

Seeing his military uniform and handsome looks, she immediately smiled: “Are you Doctor Jiang’s partner?”

“No, you’re mistaken.” Shen Cheng didn’t want to ruin her reputation, he quickly explained: “I’m here to thank Doctor Jiang.”

As soon as Grandma Liu heard this, she was instantly disappointed. So he wasn’t her partner.

Grandma Liu thought Shen Cheng was also Jiang Nianzi’s patient, after her disappointment, she was like she had found her people, she happily chatted with him.

“You think Doctor Jiang’s medical skills are amazing too, right? Let me tell you, my rheumatic legs have been bothering me for ten years, I’ve never felt this comfortable. I only saw Doctor Jiang a few times, and my legs don’t hurt anymore, it’s so comfortable… hey, young man, what illness did you have that Doctor Jiang cured?”

“I’m not sick.”

“Not sick? Then why are you thanking her?”

Shen Cheng still had to go back to Da Mu Village, he didn’t have time to talk to the old lady too much. After explaining his intentions in a few words, he asked her: “Grandma, will Doctor Jiang be back later?”

The old lady had only mentioned Doctor Zhang just now, so Shen Cheng asked this question.

“No, Doctor Jiang took the day off today.”

So…

“Grandma, I have something to do, I have to go now. I might not be able to come back here for a while. This is a thank you gift for Doctor Jiang, please help me deliver it.”

Shen Cheng handed her a package.

He saw the old lady’s face filled with admiration and respect when she mentioned Doctor Jiang, so he gave her the package.

Grandma Liu smiled and took it.

She promised that she would personally deliver it to Doctor Jiang.

The work in Da Mu Village was almost finished, Shen Cheng would attend his comrade’s wedding tomorrow, and he should be going back to the army soon.

–

Jiang Nianzi went home and gave the money Jiang Xue had given her to Ding Hongmei.

Jiang Cheng had taken Jiang Doudou to collect herbs again today, a big basket full, but Jiang Nianzi took a look at the types, she estimated that De Yuan Clinic wouldn’t need that much for now.

Some herbs were used less often, so they wouldn’t buy too much.

She told Jiang Cheng to continue drying them, then Jiang Nianzi washed up and did a set of whitening and health-preserving treatments.

Whitening cream, yoga, Ganoderma lucidum powder, all of them.

After doing all this, Jiang Nianzi fell into a deep sleep.

When she woke up the next day, she washed her face and found that she was much whiter in the mirror.

Her overall skin tone was no longer considered dark.

It wasn’t overly white, but she had finally gotten rid of her dark skin.

Jiang Nianzi smiled happily.

Little white girl, she was not far away.

She had to do Zhao Fangru’s wedding makeup today, so Jiang Nianzi got up extra early.

She also wanted to see her sister, but she still insisted on covering herself up.

Because her face was a bit eye-catching, she couldn’t steal the bride’s thunder.

Winter had arrived, the weather was cold, and Jiang Doudou’s clothes were the thinnest, Jiang Nianzi planned to take him to buy a padded jacket.

So she took Jiang Doudou with her to town.

When she got to Zhao Fangru’s house, her bedroom was almost full.

She had so many good friends…

As soon as Jiang Nianzi went in, she heard someone say: “Fangru, you’re so white now! How did you do it?”

Zhao Fangru coughed lightly: “Health regimen.”

Actually, Zhao Fangru wasn’t particularly white, but compared to her previous sallow complexion, she was indeed much whiter. Plus, her features were pretty good, and when compared, she was naturally much prettier.

After all, fair skin covers a hundred flaws.
