Back to the 70s: My Wife is Both Fierce and Crazy

Chapter 224 Hope for Treatment, Wedding Preparations

Who wouldn't love a family member who stays by their side during times of trouble?

Asking questions and offering advice, Bai Jing returned home with Jiang Chen, her heart full of concern.

"Looks like you're quite popular." Jiang Chen said sourly.

"If it weren't for you, do you think they would even know me? Stop being jealous. The fact that I'm liked proves that they all care about you."

I really don't know what to say about this person.

"By the way, I'm going to start brewing the wine in a bit. Would you like to try it first?" She started brewing the wine after the herbs arrived last time, and so much time has passed now that the wine is ready.

Medicated wine is different from brewed wine made from grains, and hers takes even less time.

"Can I drink it?" Jiang Chen was also a connoisseur of fine wine, and the feeling of not being able to drink good wine was too unpleasant.

"of course can."

With Wang Zhongping's help, Bai Jing cleaned the medicinal residue out of the medicinal wine.

Looking at the fragrant wine with its medicinal herb-like color, Bai Jing swallowed hard.

"It looks so tempting." Without saying a word, he poured three glasses, one for each person.

The cup was small. After all, it was medicinal wine made with baijiu (Chinese white liquor). Although the alcohol content had been diluted, it still had some alcohol, so I didn't dare to drink too much.

This batch of Bai Jingniang wine also contains a tiny bit of the essence of life fragments.

This wine is even better than the finest wines outside.

Drinking it regularly can also improve your health.

"Good wine." Wang Zhongping was the first to finish his drink, and immediately praised it from the bottom of his heart.

Bai Jing smiled, "If you like it, I'll save a pot for you. Drink it yourself tonight, and get some rest early. We might be back late." She didn't plan to take Wang Zhongping with her when she went to the Nan family's house.

After all, with him around, it would be inconvenient for them to talk.

"That's great, then I'll thank Comrade Bai Jing in advance." Wang Zhongping genuinely liked the wine and didn't hesitate at all.

"I'm glad you like it. Other wines will be available in a few days, and we can drink them then."

She has medicinal herbs; she's just buying some loose wine. She's not that stingy.

However, she planned to take some of the wine back to her father, as well as her second and third uncles, and of course, Uncle Wang and Uncle Zhong as well.

As for Director Shao, there's nothing that can be done about Director Wang; he's already been transferred, so there's no way to send him away even if you wanted to.

"I never expected Comrade Bai Jing to have such a skill in brewing wine."

"No, it's all thanks to Director Liu's excellent teaching. I learned from him. I'll send him some of this wine later so he can see that I, his apprentice, haven't let him down."

At first, I was grateful to Director Liu, but we gradually became friends.

Over time, she came to regard him as a close friend despite their age difference.

She was grateful for the medicinal wine recipe he gave her, so she had to reciprocate with a gift.

Jiang Chen chuckled upon hearing this, "I imagine he'd be very pleased that you've put your knowledge to good use."

Director Liu is truly a treasure; not only is his medical skill superb, but he excels in every other aspect as well.

Such a person should not be buried in a small town.

He wanted to help, but considering the state of the world, he gave up the idea.

However, we can keep in touch more often in the future.

Seeing that it was almost time, Bai Jing finished getting ready and pushed Jiang Chen out the door.

···
"Oh, you didn't come empty-handed, you're too kind." As soon as Xiao Xue opened the door, she saw Bai Jing and the other person carrying a lot of things, and her tone was full of anger.

"It's not for you, what, are you jealous?" Bai Jing understood her meaning perfectly well.

It's just that I feel I'm being too polite.

But she really isn't.

"It's no use being jealous. I bought these for Duoduo and Lele. There's none for you." Bai Jing was quite arrogant.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xue laughed, "Hmph, at least you have a conscience. If you're going to treat me like a stranger, then we shouldn't see each other anymore."

Jiang Chen just listened to their bickering with a smile. Anyway, he had a wife, so he could leave these kinds of things to her.

He should be a pure person.

Once inside, Bai Jing settled Jiang Chen in and then went to play with Duo Duo. Duo Duo was already over three years old this year and was no longer the little guy who used to be so unruly.

The little guy is being quite mischievous right now. As soon as he saw Bai Jing, he shouted for her and then jumped into her arms.

"Auntie, I miss you so much! Why did it take you so long to come see me? I wanted to see you, but Mom said you were busy and wouldn't let me."

The little guy is quite clever; not only is he sweet-talking, but he's also surprisingly good at tattletales.

And so, he complained to his mother.

"Nan Hao, I allow you to reorganize your words." Xiao Xue, who had been complained about by her son, was immediately consumed by anger.

Bai Jing watched the bickering mother and son and laughed heartily. "Haha, Sister Xiao Xue, why are you taking your anger out on the child? I was wondering why Duo Duo had only come to see me once since I came back. So it was you who wouldn't let me."

"Sigh, that's true. It's just that I, as the aunt, shouldn't steal your attention as the mother. Children should be more attached to their mothers."

Bai Jing is also a jerk.

"Ha, listen to what you're saying, Bai Jing, I think you need to be taught a lesson too."

They were having a lot of fun, playfully bickering and joking around.

Anyway, Jiang Chen really likes this kind of life.

Nanhao is a sensible and well-behaved child. Except for being a little mischievous in front of his mother, he is very well-behaved in front of outsiders.

"Uncle Jiang, let me push you to the side so my mom won't accidentally hit you." And there she was, the little guy was starting to get sweet.

Although Jiang Chen's vision was somewhat blurry, he could still see some dark shadows. He knew that the shadow was Duo Duo, so he reached out and touched his head.

"Okay, thank you so much, Duoduo."

Bai Jing helped Xiao Xue cook and entertained Jiang Chen. The two of them, one big and one small, got along quite well.

Song Dongling arrived early, bringing her three-year-old daughter with her.

Lele went straight for her brother as soon as she arrived, ignoring her mother.

Since Jiang Chen was inside, Song Dongling said something and then went to the kitchen.

Jiang Chen asked Duo Duo to take out his sister's gift so he could give it to Lele.

Jiang Chen received a kiss from Lele, which almost melted his heart. He couldn't help but wonder if his future child with Xiao Jing would receive the same kiss.

The three women were busy in the kitchen, and the food was on the table when Nan Lichen and Shao Qing returned.

As soon as Shao Qing saw Bai Jing, he immediately thought about the medicinal wine she mentioned.

"Xiao Jing, I came back with Li Chen. You didn't keep any wine for yourself, did you?"

Unbeknownst to him, Nan Lichen's eyes widened at him the moment he said this.

"Are you implying that I'm trying to keep this to myself?"

Shao Qing, who was also not one to suffer losses, said, "That's hard to say."

Seeing the two fighting, Bai Jing quickly brought over the wine.

The large barrel was a five-jin (2.5 kg) wine barrel that she specially bought from the supply and marketing cooperative.

"Here it is, it's yours tonight." The tonic wine she brought today also has another name: Longevity Tonic Wine.

However, she found the words "longevity" too frightening, so she used the words "cultivating essence" instead, since both are for strengthening the body.

Long-term use can also be used to treat some diseases.

For example, symptoms such as weakness in the limbs, fatigue, lower back pain and weak legs, irritability and dry mouth, palpitations and excessive dreaming, dizziness, and premature graying of hair.

Treating illnesses doesn't necessarily improve health.

She made this especially so that everyone could drink it.

Suitable for all ages.

The main ingredient is ginseng; friends and family should drink more of this wonderful thing.

Seeing the large barrel full of wine, Shao Qing lost interest in arguing with Nan Lichen. He stepped forward, picked up the barrel, opened the lid, and a rich aroma of wine wafted out.

He thought the smell alone was enough to make his mouth water, and if he took a sip, well, he was going to drink until he was completely drunk tonight.

"Good wine, good wine! Jiang Chen, you've really struck gold."

After joking around, the group sat down to eat. The women took care of the children, Bai Jing took care of Jiang Chen, and the two men started drinking.

Whether a wine is good or not can be known the moment it enters your throat.

Everyone here is knowledgeable; one sip and they understand the weight of this medicinal wine.

"Can an old man drink this wine?" Nan Lichen was the first to speak. He felt the changes in his body as soon as he took a sip, and he wasn't exaggerating.

Instead, Bai Jing added the Source of Life to it, and anyone with a slightly stronger sense of perception would notice the difference in the wine.

"It's drinkable, but the quantity is small right now, so let's wait a bit longer. I didn't dare make too much the first time I brewed it, for fear of failure." Since it succeeded, it will definitely succeed next time.

She can make more next time.

However, the source of life inside is naturally not like it is now.

"Count me in next time. My family is getting old, and I think this medicinal wine is quite good, especially since my father likes wine."

They were all people who had retired from the battlefield, so naturally they loved wine.

“No problem, but the elderly should drink in moderation, since alcohol can damage the liver.” Bai Jing had no objection, but still offered a reminder.

"Yes, I know that, but I think the old man would be very happy to be able to have a couple of drinks every day." Nan Lichen could already imagine how happy his grandfather would be to hear that he could drink alcohol.

Shao Qing shared the same thought as Nan Lichen: "I want some too, but my old man has many illnesses, and I don't know if he can drink this wine." His old man was different from the one in the Nan family.

Bai Jing thought for a moment, not wanting to disappoint Shao Qing, so she said, "I also have a kind of wine called Longevity Wine, which can be drunk by those who are weak or injured. However, I didn't brew it this time. I'll try next time. If it succeeds, I'll give it to you."

Upon hearing this, Shao Qing was overjoyed. "Thank you." He raised his glass to Bai Jing and then drank it down in one gulp.

"You're welcome."

Bai Jing never imagined that her generosity would make her wine famous.

Over the years, her demand for alcohol grew, which overturned her original desire to be a leisurely, wealthy woman.

Finally, the busy brewing process began.

With good food and wine, and since everyone hadn't gotten together in a long time, they chatted until midnight.

Bai Jing and Jiang Chen returned at midnight. If Wang Zhongping hadn't been worried and come to pick them up after 10 o'clock, the two of them would probably have had to stay at the Nan family's house tonight.

“I have someone to help me with the fire. I’ll help Jiang Gong wash up first. Comrade Bai Jing, you can go to the backyard.”

Bai Jing herself has no objections.

Jiang Chen now shares a room with Wang Zhongping, which is convenient for him to take care of her, while Bai Jing lives in a south-facing room, the one the two of them used to share.

A good night's sleep.

Life went on simply like that, but everyone felt fulfilled.

Before they knew it, it was time for Jiang Chen's follow-up examination. Bai Jing took three days off and went to Hongyan Town with Jiang Chen.

First, they went to see Director Liu, who changed the prescription but told them some good news.

That means Jiang Chen's eyes are recovering and will be fully healed in a short time. However, he should be careful in the future and avoid being stimulated like before.

After hearing that she was recovering, Bai Jing agreed to whatever Director Liu said.

She understood even more clearly that Jiang Chen's transformation was due to her, so she took her resignation even more seriously and planned to reorganize her work once the Dark Division made a move.

Jiang Chen was also very excited. He was just glad that he could recover. He was afraid that he wouldn't recover, because then he wouldn't have the right to stand by her side.

She had previously said she wanted to stand by his side, basking in glory, but he also hoped to be her support, not a burden.

After getting the medicine, the three of them went home.

No one was home, but Bai Jing had her own key and wasn't worried about not being able to get in.

Looking at the house, which hadn't changed much, Bai Jing felt a pang of sadness. She hadn't even stepped inside the house since returning from her last mission, except for a letter confirming her safety. She felt a little guilty towards her mother.

After tidying up, Bai Jing took the two of them for a stroll around the town.

Although Jiang Chen couldn't see, Bai Jing would whisper in his ear where they were and which places they had passed through before.

This made him very happy, at least Xiaojing didn't look down on him.

"Let's go buy some gifts. We'll go find Uncle and the others later and tell them we're back, so they can come over tonight and have a good time."

Jiang Chen readily agreed, "Okay, whatever you say."

Bai Jing looked at Wang Zhongping, "Comrade Wang, can I trouble you with something?" They went to inform their relatives and friends, but they also needed to prepare some food at home.

She planned to have Wang Zhongping buy groceries for her and take them home.

"You said there's no need to be so polite." Having spent some time together, he'd become more casual.

"Here's the thing, my leave is limited. I plan to have dinner with my family tonight. Jiang Chen and I need to inform them. We'd like to trouble you with grocery shopping."

As she spoke, Bai Jing took out some money from her cloth bag. "Buy whatever you think is good, just buy more."

Wang Zhongping didn't stand on ceremony and took the money and tickets. "Okay, leave it to me. I promise you won't be disappointed."

And so, the three of them split into two groups, one going to inform Uncle Wang and the other, since the black market was nearby.

Wang Fei and Zhong Qiming were shocked when they saw Bai Jing and Jiang Chen.

The two were especially worried after discovering that Jiang Chen's eyes were in trouble.

Only after learning that they had only been injured and could recover did the two feel relieved.

They had been engaged for over two years, and Bai Jing was of marriageable age. With their wedding just around the corner, they naturally didn't want anything to happen to Jiang Chen.

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back. We'll definitely go over to help as soon as possible tonight." Zhong Qiming has already married Zhang Cuicui, and the two have a son who is already one year old.

Needless to say, Wang Fei's child is older than both of theirs.

Although Bai Jing missed their wedding, she didn't miss the ceremony.

That was just a joke; who cares about such a small gift?

What I care about more is Bai Jing herself.

"That's great! I haven't seen the two little ones and their aunts in a long time," Bai Jing replied with a smile, confirming that it had indeed been quite some time since she had seen them.

"There's nothing we can do, you're so busy. They're all at home taking care of the kids now." Wang Fei was genuinely happy.

I owe my current life to Bai Jing in many ways.

“Cui Cui also misses you. She often says you have no conscience and don’t even give her a call.” Zhong Qiming felt a little awkward when he heard Bai Jing call his wife “Auntie.”
