Chapter 28

There’s a feeling called “social death,” and Jiang Nianzi was experiencing it right now.

She blinked, staring at Jiang Doudou.

Jiang Doudou also blinked at her, clueless and confused.

Shen Cheng had just come out to get some fresh air, he didn’t expect such a coincidence.

Seeing this little girl, he was hesitating whether to go over and say hello.

Then he heard her tricking the little kid.

Little fairy…

He had never heard a girl say that about herself.

Shen Cheng’s eyes crinkled with amusement, seeing her suddenly straighten her back, he knew the little girl was probably embarrassed.

He waved to the little kid who was looking at him, and thoughtfully turned back to the house.

Jiang Nianzi waited for a long time, but she didn’t hear any laughter, she suddenly turned her head to look, no one was there.

Jiang Nianzi put on a stern face and scolded Jiang Doudou: “Little Doudou, who taught you to lie?”

Jiang Doudou was wronged: “Sister, I’m not lying, there was really a big brother there just now, a very, very handsome big brother. But he’s gone now.”

Seeing that he didn’t look like he was lying, Jiang Nianzi asked suspiciously: “Where is he?”

“He went back to the house.”

Back to the house?

Jiang Nianzi was about to die of embarrassment, she didn’t have the face to go back to the house, she quickly pulled Jiang Doudou away.

As for the one yuan makeup fee, she would have to ask Zhao Fangru for it later.

With the thirty yuan she earned today, Jiang Nianzi had thirty-eight yuan in total.

She didn’t have any cloth coupons left.

She planned to ask the patients at the clinic if they had any cloth coupons, and she would exchange them for money.

As soon as she got to the clinic, Grandma Liu grabbed her.

“Doctor Jiang, here, this is for you.”

She stuffed a package into Jiang Nianzi’s hand. Jiang Nianzi was stunned for a moment.

What is this?

She looked at Grandma Liu in confusion.

Grandma Liu said: “Yesterday, a very handsome young man came over, he said he was here to thank you for saving his life.”

“Saving his life?”

“Yes, the young man said you saved his life in Da Mu Village.”

As soon as Grandma Liu said this, Jiang Nianzi understood, it must have been the soldier she rescued when the flood hit Da Mu Village.

She didn’t expect him to find her here.

Seeing Jiang Nianzi’s expression as if she had remembered, Grandma Liu said with a gossipy smile: “Doctor Jiang, people say, for saving someone’s life, there’s no way to repay it, only by marrying them. That young man is so handsome, I see that Doctor Jiang, you’re also of marriageable age, why don’t you just take him in?”

What the heck!

Jiang Nianzi was shocked, then she couldn’t help but laugh: “Grandma Liu, what are you talking about? He gave me something, he probably just wanted to repay me for this favor. What marrying him.”

Saying that, Jiang Nianzi pulled Jiang Doudou to sit at the counter of the medicine cabinet, curiously opening the package.

Wow, she didn’t know until she saw it, she was shocked.

It was all coupons.

Cloth coupons, grain coupons, meat coupons, all kinds… and there were quite a few.

This thank you gift was too big.

But on second thought, she did save his life.

And she was in need of these things now.

So Jiang Nianzi immediately took Jiang Doudou to buy several pieces of thick padded jacket cloth.

These padded jacket cloths only cost eight yuan in total.

Winter had arrived, and the clothes Jiang Nianzi was wearing were also very thin. With enough cloth coupons, she bought all the cloth needed for the family to make clothes.

After buying these, Jiang Nianzi returned to the clinic and continued to see patients.

The weather was getting colder, more and more people were getting sick with colds, and the clinic was gradually getting busier.

As for Shen Cheng, he was ordered to leave, he didn’t have time to go back to town, he directly set off from Da Mu Village and quickly went to the army.

Jiang Nianzi bought the padded jacket cloth and returned home, she heard Jiang Xue’s laughter from afar.

She was stunned for a moment, then a smile immediately bloomed on her face: “Sister, you’re finally back.”

“Zizi is back.”

Jiang Xue also smiled and greeted her.

She had already told the boss that she wouldn’t work there anymore.

Her sister was right, there were many ways to make money, she could just go up the mountain with her brother to collect herbs and sell them.

She didn’t have to bow and scrape.

Seeing Jiang Nianzi carrying a big bag, Ding Hongmei quickly took it from her.

As soon as she took it, she saw that it was filled with thick padded jacket cloth.

Ding Hongmei was immediately stunned, she asked Jiang Nianzi where she got so much cloth.

Her rough fingers gently touched the padded jacket cloth, it felt warm and comfortable.

Jiang Nianzi walked over and took out the padded jacket cloth.

There were padded jacket cloths of various colors, with cotton batting inside, it was clearly good fabric.

“Didn’t I go to Da Mu Village to help with the disaster relief with Zhang Grandpa a few days ago? I saved a People’s Liberation Army comrade there. This is a thank you gift from him, oh, no, he gave me a lot, a lot of cloth coupons. I paid for the cloth myself.”

Saying that, Jiang Nianzi opened the box containing the coupons.

Jiang Xue and Ding Hongmei looked at them, all precious coupons.

The two of them were so surprised that their mouths were agape.

“So many coupons! Zizi, you met a good person.”

Nowadays, who doesn’t treasure coupons?

How many people would be willing to give them away?

Jiang Doudou’s nose was running, he was freezing.

They would soon have new padded jackets to wear, the whole family was very happy, they had another delicious meal that night.

Jiang Cheng came back late, Ding Hongmei had saved some food for him.

Aunt Liu and Aunt Gui passed by, they smelled the delicious aroma again, and they unconsciously swallowed their saliva.

Aunt Liu was already used to being sour, but she still couldn’t help but complain: “Ding Hongmei is so lucky, why don’t I have such good luck, to have a daughter who can make money like that?”

Aunt Gui pulled her forward: “Who told you to only want to have sons?”

That night, Jiang Nianzi and Jiang Xue lay on the same bed, Jiang Xue started to plan for the future.

Jiang Nianzi said: “Sister, I have a plan.”

“What plan? Tell me.” Jiang Xue reached out and pulled the blanket over her.

Jiang Nianzi thought about Jiang Xue’s ability to make clothes, she was inexplicably excited, so she got out of bed.

“Hey, Zizi, it’s cold, what are you doing?”

“Wait for me.”

Jiang Nianzi took out her old schoolbag from her previous life and took out paper and a pen.

She lit the kerosene lamp and started drawing clothing designs.

She didn’t have much talent for drawing, but her vision came from the future.

After finishing the drawings, Jiang Nianzi showed the clothes to Jiang Xue.

Jiang Xue looked at the distorted clothing designs and said with a smile: “Zizi, is this the ready-made clothing you said could make a lot of money?”

“Yes, but now we need cloth coupons to make clothes, we can’t sell ready-made clothes for now, but we need to build up our reputation, let people buy cloth and ask us to make clothes for them.”

Jiang Nianzi looked at the clothes she drew, they did look a bit ugly.

After all, she wasn’t a good artist.

So she simply described it directly: “Sister, look, the style of this dress is like this, the middle is a vest shape, the collar and the edges of the buttons are all trimmed with cotton-padded cloth, and the sleeves are made of white padded jacket cloth and tucked into the main body of the vest a little, it looks like two…”

This was a winter outfit, the main body of the vest was red, and the skirt was also red, but the bottom was also trimmed with white cotton, similar to the fluffy trim in the modern world.

Jiang Xue loved making clothes, and she was also very perceptive. After listening to Jiang Nianzi’s explanation and looking at the drawings, she immediately had a vision of the clothes in her mind.

“But after we make them, where will we find customers?” Jiang Xue asked.

Jiang Nianzi smiled happily: “That’s on me.”

Jiang Xue was very moved, she knew her sister was capable, she had been smart since she was a child.

The next morning, today was Nianzi’s day off, she didn’t have to go to the clinic.

In their village, only the village chief’s family had a sewing machine.

It was the village chief’s daughter-in-law’s dowry.

Jiang Nianzi asked Jiang Xue and found out, so today, their goal was to go to the village chief’s daughter-in-law and rent their sewing machine.

The two sisters walked from the end of the village to the beginning, braving the cold wind.

Fortunately, the village wasn’t very big.

The people in the village, every household got up early, busy with their work.

The village chief’s family was no exception.

When Jiang Nianzi and Jiang Xue arrived at the village chief’s house, the village chief and his wife were about to go to the field.

Jiang Xue quickly greeted them: “Uncle A Gen, Aunt Cui Ping, are you going to the field?”

Jiang Xue had a sweet mouth since she was a child, she was very likable.

Uncle A Gen said with a smile: “Of course, we’re going to work in the field. Unlike your family, you have a little doctor who can make money.”

Now everyone in the village knew that Jiang Nianzi was working at the clinic in town.

Most people didn’t have any bad intentions, but they couldn’t help but feel envious.

They said she earned thirty yuan a month.

Ding Hongmei’s family was considered successful.

No matter how old you are, as long as you have skills and money, people will respect you.

Jiang Nianzi immediately followed Jiang Xue and called out: “Uncle A Gen, is my sister-in-law at home?”

A Gen’s daughter-in-law, Zhang Lingling, was pregnant now, she usually didn’t need to go out to work.

Hearing the two girls come to find their daughter-in-law, Uncle A Gen said: “She’s in the house, you two go in and find her.”

They didn’t come in vain, this made Jiang Nianzi and Jiang Xue very happy, the two of them immediately went into the house to find Zhang Lingling.

–

The jeep drove into the army, Shen Cheng got off the car, feeling the cold all over, he took a deep breath.

Li Wen followed behind him: “Captain, you’ve been there several times, but you still haven’t found Doctor Jiang?”

Shen Cheng nodded: “Yes, I gave her some coupons as a thank you gift.”

Li Wen felt a little regretful: “I thought you could have a relationship with Doctor Jiang. I think you two are a good match, you’re both handsome.”

Relationship?

As soon as these two words appeared, he unconsciously thought of a pair of lively eyes and that soft voice.

Shen Cheng unconsciously shook his head, what was he thinking? She was just a little girl.

The two of them walked towards the military headquarters, suddenly a gust of wind hit them, Shen Cheng dodged and kicked sideways, forcing the person to take a step back.

Jiang Pengyu reached out and grabbed Shen Cheng’s ankle, he laughed in a way that made people want to punch him: “Old Shen, your reaction is pretty good. Come on, come on, I have something to tell you.”

“What is it?” Shen Cheng retracted his foot.

Jiang Pengyu hooked his arm around his neck, he said in a brotherly tone: “How is our relationship?”

Shen Cheng knew him well.

He was smiling so mischievously, he must have something to ask for.

Without hesitation, he raised his hand and slapped his arm: “Not good.”

“Don’t do that, I really have something to tell you.” Jiang Pengyu quickly chased after him: “This concerns your happiness for the rest of your life.”
