The sky cleared up completely without anyone noticing, and the sun, just like before, rose and set on time every day.
The world has completely returned to normal, with blue skies, white clouds, gentle breezes, and light rain taking turns in people's lives during this period.
The only thing that made everyone feel completely different was the air.
The air is as if it has been filtered through multiple layers, presenting its best side to people.
"With this air, it feels like anyone who can breathe can prolong their lifespan. It's even more effective than some kind of super tonic pill." Second Grandpa stood in the square, leaning on his cane, chatting with a group of old friends.
Fourth Aunt: "That's right, I feel that my energy has improved a lot during this period, and my sleep has also improved."
Grandpa Qi teased, "Judging from your tone, it sounds like you're advertising, except nobody's paying you for it."
Fourth Aunt said, "I'd rather pay someone else for the advertising fee than watch an ad at this point."
“You old woman, you’re not honest at all. Who would need money at a time like this? You don’t still have those old scraps of paper, do you?” Sun Shiguang looked at her with a surprised expression.
Fourth Aunt rolled her eyes at him. "Didn't you keep any? That thing was saved up little by little over time. It's really hard to throw it away. Even though we can't use it now, at least we can keep it as a memento."
"Given this situation, those old banknotes will only be preserved as antiques in the future. We might only see them in history books," Grandpa joked.
"That kid Yun Xun even went out of his way to exchange some gold necklaces and the like with Captain Liu from Xin San Village to make the women at home happy. Although those things are worthless now, women's love of beauty is irresistible. Even though they say they dislike them, don't forget how proud they are of wearing them."
"My Yunqiao also brought back a bunch of jewelry for me in exchange for an iron basin. I was so happy at the time that I hung them all over myself. But when I realized that he had traded them for an iron basin, I gave him a good scolding for a long time. I never thought that I would have a day when I would treat money like dirt. The value of that iron basin is far greater than that pile of jewelry." Although Aunt Si was complaining, her eyes were full of smiles when she talked about her grandson.
Sun Shiguang has watched Yun Qiao change little by little, and now he is considered one of the most capable young men in the village. "I was worried that you would spoil your Yun Qiao, but I didn't expect that boy to be so filial. He knows that you, this old woman, like those fancy things."
Fourth Aunt was very proud. Seeing someone talking to her, she quickly showed off her grandson, "That's because our Yunqiao is so hardworking. He leaves early and comes home late every day. Sometimes when I see him training, I feel so sorry for him. I can't even ask him to stop and rest for a while."
Grandpa said, "They must work hard. If they don't, they won't get another chance to go out. Only when their abilities improve can we let them go out and explore with peace of mind."
Previously, the village was somewhat reluctant to let the younger generation go out on adventures, but after several trips, relatively few people were injured, but the gains were quite good, and it is known that this will be the trend for future development.
If you spoil your child, you'll be holding them back. Didn't you see that even Yun Qiao's fourth aunt, who always pampered her, has completely let go and allowed Yun Qiao to go out and learn from others?
The second grandfather said helplessly, "The departure date hasn't even been decided yet, but everyone in the family is already making preparations in a haphazard way. Our family is even arguing over this spot for the trip."
"How did things get out of hand?" Grandpa Qi asked curiously, looking at his old brother.
Second Grandfather: "It's still Zhixin and Zhizhong. Before they came back, it was always the daughter-in-law and grandson who went out together. This time, every household should also have two people in each other. With three strong laborers in the family, they will all have to fight each other for it."
“What’s there to argue about? Wouldn’t it be better to let the men in the family go out? At least they’re physically capable and can carry more things.” Sun Shiguang didn’t have this kind of worry. Anyway, each family had separated, so they couldn’t cause trouble for him.
Second Grandfather: "If that's how you think, that's good. These women are cooped up in the village every day. How could they give up such a rare opportunity to go out? If my wife weren't so old, I suspect she would be tempted to do the same."
Fourth Aunt said, "I don't want to go out. It's not as wonderful as they say when they come back. Every inch of land has to be measured on foot, and you have to carry heavy loads and keep up with the group. I think your two daughters-in-law can't bear to see their husbands suffer."
The second grandfather chuckled coldly to himself. Those people in the family were just using the excuse of "it's for your own good" to persuade the other party, but no one really convinced anyone else.
“It’s their younger generation’s turn now, so we should try to let them go out as much as possible,” Grandpa Qi advised. “Besides, how is Zhixin’s wound healing from last time? Can he withstand this heavy long-distance transport?”
This brought up the topic of medicinal herbs grown in the village, and people started comparing who grew the most and who grew them the best.
Yao Lie has been staying in the pharmacy these days, sorting out medicinal herbs, and is even considering what kind of medicinal herbs he can get for his village.
Yunnan medicine: "I want to go out with you too. After such a long rainy season, everything is growing now. This trip should allow us to find more medicinal herbs."
Si Cheng said, "Let the young people do this kind of thing. It's always hard work outside, spending all day outdoors in the wind and rain. I'm afraid your body won't be able to handle it."
Yunnan Yao's eyes widened. "Don't think I don't know. This time it's the same again. There are many women going out with me. Do you think my body is worse than theirs?"
Liu Fengya comforted him from the side, "You are the pillar of our village. Just draw what you need for me, and I will definitely bring it back for you if I see it."
Yunnan Medicine: "It's true what they say, 'Teach your apprentice and you'll starve yourself.' So you're already trying to usurp the throne? You young people are unreliable. Sometimes you can't even recognize things right in front of you. Besides, our village is just dealing with some trivial problems. There's no point in me staying here."
Yunnan Yao was determined to go out with them, and no amount of persuasion from anyone could change her mind.
"Let him go if he wants to. Notify the medical students in the nearby villages that their master is going out to find herbs, and see if they are interested." Yun Qi was not as nervous as Si Cheng and the others. Besides, with so many people from the village going out together, how could they not protect the Yunnan herbs?
"Don't forget that this trip is much more convenient than the last one. We still have two horses in our backyard. If all else fails, we can carry more supplies and let Uncle Nan ride on horseback."
