Rebirth in the 70s: A military wife who was married into a vegetative state

A week later.

Zhang Tong took off his hat and mask for the first time and walked into the sunshine.

The April sunshine was extremely warm.

She tilted her head up and closed her eyes, leaning on the railing on the second floor to enjoy the baptism of sunshine. She was so happy that she almost shed tears.

Ji Xiulian came home carrying big and small bags as usual. Her mother was not in good health during this time, so she came back much more frequently than before.

As soon as she approached Tongzi Tower, Ji Xiulian saw Zhang Tong at the railing on the second floor.

"Tongtong?"

After more than a year, Ji Xiulian had almost forgotten what Zhang Tong looked like, and now she was quite surprised to see her face suddenly.

"your face?"

Zhang Tong touched his face, lowered his head and smiled at Ji Xiulian: "Sister Xiulian, are you back?"

"Yeah." Ji Xiulian was surprised. She walked upstairs a lot faster. After putting her things at her door, she walked to Zhang Tong. "Tongtong, is your face healed?"

"Yes!" Zhang Tong nodded happily, "Sister Xiulian, please check for me. Are there any marks left?"

In fact, she has looked at it in the mirror at home dozens of times, and now she just found another person to share it with.

Ji Xiulian leaned over and looked at it carefully several times, her eyes getting wider and wider.

"There are no marks at all! And your skin has become so tender and white."

It’s the kind of fair and tender skin that makes all women envious!

Ji Xiulian had only seen skin like this on An Nian, the military wife next door, like a peeled egg.

"Tongtong, which doctor did you see? What medicine did you use? My skin has been feeling bad recently. Look, I have several pimples on my forehead and chin. Can you recommend your doctor to me? I don't?"

The smile on Zhang Tong's face faded for a moment: "What I take is Chinese medicine, which is used to treat illnesses."

She was not willing to share her ointment.

Subconsciously touching her smooth face, Zhang Tong decided to maintain a good relationship with An Nian and asked her to make some ointments for daily maintenance.She hopes her skin can always be this good!

Ji Xiulian was disappointed: "Can't you condition your skin? I heard that Chinese medicine can not only cure diseases, but also take care of it. Tongtong, can you really not tell me which doctor it is?"

"Tongtong! Don't bask in the sun too much. Your sister Niannian said that the skin that has just recovered is very fragile... Oh, Xiulian is back too? Your mother seems to have gone out. There is fresh beef available today. She went there very early. There’s a queue.”

Aunt Seven came out with a bunch of water spinach. When she saw Ji Xiulian, she smiled and said hello.

Sister Niannian?Is it An Nian?The name flashed through Ji Xiulian's mind, but she wasn't sure.

"Aunt Seven."

Zhang Tong took advantage of the gap between the two of them talking and walked into the house: "Mom, I'll stay in the house then."

"Go."

Aunt Seven took a sink, placed it on the railing, and started folding vegetables.

Ji Xiulian was not a fool. Zhang Tong obviously didn't want to tell her, so she didn't ask for trouble.

After saying a few words to Aunt Seven, Ji Xiulian walked back to her door, took out her key and went in.

-

The next day, Ji Xiulian held her fat girl in her arms early and knocked on the door next door with a bunch of water spinach in her hand.

"coming!"

An Nian was still in bed. When she heard the knock on the door, she hurriedly put on her slippers and came over to open the door.

"Sister Xiulian?"

"Hey, why are you still sleeping? The sun is shining on your butt." Ji Xiulian entered the yard with a smile and put her daughter down. "Here, let me bring you some green vegetables. I went back to my parents' house yesterday and picked them in my own vegetable patch. They are very fresh and tender."

"Thank you ma'am."

An Nian took the water spinach and put it in the kitchen.

"Sister, you drink some water first, and I'll go wash up."

"It's okay, you go."

Ji Xiulian carried the cloth tied around her daughter's body to help her stabilize her body, while she hunched over and followed behind her.

Fat Ya is still not very stable when walking, but she no longer wants to be held by others. She likes to run around and study everything she can see, and she also likes to put things she likes into her mouth.

Ji Xiulian had to keep an eye on her all the time.

Because there were still guests waiting outside, An Nian speeded up the washing process. After brushing his teeth, he washed his face with a towel and came out.

"Sister Xiulian, have you had breakfast?"

Ji Xiulian was leading her daughter to the southeast corner of the yard. Fat Ya saw a pile of gravel and was playing with it happily. After hearing this, she took the time to answer.

"We've eaten."

"Oh, I'll eat it first."

An Nian was a little embarrassed. She slept until she woke up naturally every day, and asked Yuanyuan to prepare breakfast for herself before going out.

Taking out the white porridge that was still hot in the pot, An Nian cracked the eggs and put them into the porridge, then sandwiched two pieces of pumpkin cake fried with rapeseed oil, which was delicious.

"Nian Nian, your yard is well taken care of. Are you planning to grow vegetables in this area? I see there are some outstanding ones. These are peppers and lentils?"

An Nian went out with the bowl and lowered his head while eating: "Well, I have nothing to do anyway, so I will grow some vegetables for myself."

"It's pretty good. We also grow chives at home."

"I've planted it too, and it's there, but it hasn't sprouted yet."

Chives are a condiment that can be sprinkled on any dish. How could An Nian forget it?

"What is that? It doesn't look like vegetables."

Ji Xiulian pointed to the position by the wall, still holding her daughter hard in her hand, fearing that she would fall into the rubble in the next second.

"Those are roses." An Nian replied with a smile, "I think the roses in Chief Luo Ying's house are growing well, and I want to plant a few to see."

Actually, no, An Nian had never wanted to grow flowers. She was very pragmatic. She could still eat vegetables, so what was the use of growing flowers?Is it a comparison group with Luo Ying’s family?

But on the night she sowed the vegetable seeds, a small rose seedling appeared on the wall of her yard.

Now that it has been delivered to the door, An Nian has nothing to accept. At worst, he will overwhelm Camp Chief Luo's family.

"Rose..." Ji Xiulian looked at An Nian in surprise, "You only wanted to plant the roses at Chief Luo Ying's house, right? It's not like no one here wants to plant roses, but how? None of them can be as lush as theirs."

"It doesn't matter, I'll just plant it for fun."

An Nian frowned, lowered his head and took a big mouthful of white porridge, accompanied by spicy pumpkin cake, it tasted great.

After breakfast, An Nian moved two benches over, where two adults sat and a child played.

"Do you like playing with rocks Nuannuan? Auntie has more beautiful ones here."

An Nian reached out and touched Fatty's plump face, and took out five transparent jade stones from his pocket.

"Beautiful!" After seeing the five jade stones, Fat Ya's big eyes couldn't move away anymore, and the little fat hand touched An Nian's palm.

Ji Xiulian quickly grabbed her body: "Nian Nian, this is so precious!"

"It's not expensive." An Nian smiled and stuffed the jade into Fat Ya's little palm, "Come on, Nuan Nuan, my aunt will teach you how to play with stones."

She changed direction and threw the jade on the flat stone slab. Her fingers rose and fell dexterously. The round jade was like the most obedient toy on her fingertips.

Fat Ya watched intently.

"Want to play?"

Fat Ya nodded vigorously: "I think so!"

"Sister Xiulian, please let her go. We are both here to guard her. Nuan Nuan will not fall."

Ji Xiulian let go of her daughter as she was told, but her eyes still fell on the five transparent jade stones, and she swallowed.

"Nian Nian, where did you get these? Is this jade?"

As a native of Yuncheng, Ji Xiulian actually knows a lot about jade. After all, jade mining is the pillar industry of Yuncheng, and now various state-owned factories in Yuncheng are related to jade.Under the influence of her ears and eyes, she also understood the grade judgment of jade.

Jade first looks at the color, and then looks at the water head.

Although the five jade stones An Nian took out had no color at all, their water quality was excellent. If they were sold, the price would not be low.

"I dug it out of rubble."

An Nian stretched out his hand and pointed to the place where Fat Ya was playing just now.

"Don't I want to open up a few ridges of land to grow vegetables? I just thought of using stones to enclose the vegetable field, which would look better."

An Nian embarrassedly pushed away the broken hair on her cheek, "So I asked our family Yuanyuan to go to the mine and bring me back a few sacks of waste rock."

"No wonder I kept seeing your Battalion Commander Yu carrying sacks in and out some time ago..." Ji Xiulian looked at her with complicated eyes, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch.

This Yu Luyuan really dotes on his daughter-in-law. She is so tired from training that she can still go to the mine to pick up stones. Moreover, she always heard the sound of cutting stones some time ago...

She was still wondering at the time, and it turned out that it was really the young couple next door who caused the commotion.

"Well... after smashing it, we found that there were still a few pieces of good-quality jade inside and took them out."

An Nian finished her breakfast, got up and put the dishes back into the kitchen. After washing them, she went into the house and took out her own cream and smeared it on her face.

Ji Xiulian saw her movements and remembered the purpose of coming here today, her eyes kept focusing on the white paste on the back of An Nian's hand.

"Nian Nian, did you buy this cream? Or did you make it yourself?"

An Nian was stunned and raised his hand: "Is this what Sister Xiulian is talking about?"

"Ok!"

"I made it myself. Do you want to try it?"

"want!"

"Okay." An Nian walked over, put the back of his hand against Ji Xiulian's, and gave her half. "I made it with Chinese herbal medicine and added some flower petals. It has a fragrance, but it's not too strong. Sister Xiulian, you can smell it."

Ji Xiulian wiped it on her face and stretched it to her neck. The remaining bit was not wasted, and she directly massaged it with her hands for absorption.

She lowered her head and smelled the palm of her hand, and smiled with satisfaction.

"It smells so good, it smells like roses."

"Yes." An Nian nodded slightly. The rose flower given to her was well used.

"Nian Nian, sister, I want to ask you something."

"What's going on?" An Nian looked at her doubtfully.

"Tongtong from Seventh Aunt's house...did you cure her illness?"

Ji Xiulian looked at An Nian intently.

An Nian raised her eyebrows slightly, but did not directly answer her question: "Why did Sister Xiulian ask that?"

"Sister, I'm just curious. Tongtong is completely recovered now. I heard that she can go to work in the steel factory in the next two days. Her sister-in-law was so angry that she came downstairs and scolded her several times."

Ji Xiulian curled her lips,

"Her sister-in-law is not a fuel-saving lamp. She has been forcing Aunt Seven to transfer the job to her. Fortunately, Aunt Seven has a clear mind. Her old man's position has been given to her eldest son. Of course, she will leave her own to her younger daughter.

A year ago, Tongtong suddenly got a strange disease. Her face and body were covered with dense acne. Everyone was afraid that she would be infected and stayed away from her.

She herself did not dare to face people's looks like they were looking at monsters, so she began to hide at home all day without going out.

But when I went back to see my mother yesterday, I found that Tongtong’s face was completely free of acne marks! "

Ji Xiulian sat upright excitedly and looked at An Nian with bright eyes.

"Besides, she looks much better than before! The skin on her face is as fair and tender as yours."

An Nian touched his face and smiled: "Isn't that good?"

"Hehe, it's good. I want her even as a sister... I heard Aunt Qi say that you took care of Tongtong's illness, so I wanted to come over and ask.

Do you still have the ointment you used for Tongtong?Can you give it to your sister evenly?Making ointment must require a lot of Chinese medicine, right?My sister can pay for the materials and crafts fees! "

An Nianxiao looked at her and said nothing.

Ji Xiulian became anxious and moved her face towards her.

"Nian Nian, look at my sister's face. Are there a lot of spots on her face? Moreover, if I eat even a little spicy food, I will get acne on my forehead and chin.

Oops, it can’t get better!It really pisses me off.

Can you show it to my sister too?As long as you can heal my face, I can give you anything! "

Never underestimate how much women care about their beauty.

When she was in the world of cultivation in her previous life, An Nian had seen the madness of those female cultivators.

At that time, she developed a rejuvenating elixir that could help monks return to their peak appearance. One elixir could fetch a sky-high price of ten high-grade spiritual stones, and supported many of her disciples.

"Fat Ya, come and intercede for me!"

The fat girl who was squatting on the ground and having fun picking up stones was suddenly lifted up by her mother and looked at An Nian with a cute look on her face.

An Nian laughed, picked up Fatty and put her on his lap.

"Sister, you don't have to go to this extent. Okay, okay, for the sake of you giving birth to such a lovely daughter, I will make an exception and show it to you."

Ji Xiulian's eyes lit up instantly and she quickly reached out her hand: "Do you want to take a pulse?"

Actually no need.

An Nian felt that Ji Xiulian's face didn't have any serious problems and only needed ordinary ointments for maintenance.

However, taking it internally and externally will definitely give you quicker results.

Thinking like this, she stretched out her hand and placed it on Ji Xiulian's veins.

"It's not a big problem, it's just that you're a little angry. I'll prescribe some Chinese medicine for you, and you can just go back and cook it."

After An Nian finished speaking with a smile, he retracted his hand, grabbed the fat girl's little hand on his leg and squeezed it.

"Okay!" Ji Xiulian nodded without hesitation, "What about the ointment?"

"Just use my product." An Nian pointed to her face. "It has a good moisturizing effect. It contains natural nutrients. Long-term use can fade spots and make the skin whiter and more tender."

"Hmm! What Chinese herbal medicine do you need? Write it down for me, and I'll find someone to prescribe it."

Chinese herbal medicine is not something that can be obtained casually, and Ji Xiulian also needs to ask someone to find it.

"Okay, I'll write to you later."

An Nian didn't care whether the prescription would be known to outsiders. Anyway, only she could correctly stimulate the ingredients in the medicinal herbs.

The composition of each plant is complex.

How to stimulate the correct ingredients, An Nian may be the only one in the world who knows.
