Chapter 157: Storing Firewood



After all the goods were piled out, she found a place to sit down, took out a bun and ate it while waiting for the black market people to arrive.

Not long after she finished eating the buns, the boss of the black market came with his brothers and some items for trading.

After the two sides met, Tong Yiya spoke first: "The goods are all here, let your brothers check them, here are the documents for all the goods."

As he said this, he handed over the list in his hand. After the black market boss took it and looked at it, he asked his trusted younger brother to take people to count the goods.

He looked at Tong Yiya. This was the second transaction between the two of them. Although the time interval was quite long, he still remembered it when he saw the goods.

Seeing that this young man could bring out so many good goods, he was thinking about the next transaction, so he asked: "Brother, I think your goods are all good. Are you interested in continuing the cooperation next time?"

Tong Yiya knew what he meant, but thinking that she didn't know when she would come to the county again, she said, "Brother, I guess you guessed it. I'm not from here. We got these goods from other places. I just passed by here and remembered that we had a pleasant transaction last time, so I thought of transferring them all to you, so we don't have to bring them back again.

I can’t tell when our convoy will pass by here next time. How about this: from now on, whenever my convoy passes by here and I have goods, I will go to the black market to cooperate with you. What do you think?”

After hearing what she said, the big brother of the black market had no choice but to agree.

Soon those people had counted all the goods, and Tong Yiya also started to collect some of her own money and items. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, she waited for the black market people to take the things away first.

After the group of people from the black market walked away with the goods, Tong Yiya asked the system to scan her. Only after confirming that there was no one there did she put all the boxes and banknotes on the ground into the space.

After finishing all this, she hurried to catch the bus back to their town. She arrived in the town around three o'clock in the afternoon. She bought some things and took out the things she bought from the county from the space and put them on her back. When she arrived at the town entrance, she didn't see the village's ox cart. She thought it had already gone back, so she could only walk back carrying the things.

Fortunately, after she ate the fruit given by the system, her strength increased a lot, so it was not difficult for her to carry such small things.

It was almost five o'clock when she returned to the village carrying a basket of things on her back. She hurriedly passed through the village and walked towards her courtyard.

Fortunately, she didn't meet anyone on the way. She was afraid that she would meet villagers who would pull her aside and ask her all kinds of questions.

Tong Yiya is already seventeen years old this year, and many aunts in the village have begun to ask her what kind of partner she wants to find.

It’s a good thing she doesn’t go out much, otherwise someone would have wanted to talk to her a long time ago.

When she got home, she sorted out the things she had brought back, and also took the western medicine she had brought back from the commune hospital into the pharmacy.

Tong Yiya prepared something to eat in the evening, sat and read a book for a while, then turned out the light and went to bed early.

The next day, seeing that the sun was shining brightly, she took off the bed sheets, quilt covers, curtains, and some furniture covers that had not been changed or washed for a long time. She took them to the small river in the village to wash them, as the water there was wider and easier to wash.

It was still early when she went there, and the sun had just come out, so she was the only one by the river.

Seeing that there was no one around, Tong Yiya took some soap powder from her own space to wash the things. Soon, she had washed everything. She rinsed them several times with clean water before wrung them dry, packed them up, and carried them home to dry.

She hung the washed clothes in the yard to dry. Since there was nothing else to do at home, she went up the mountain carrying the basket.

After spending an afternoon in the mountains, she picked up a lot of dry firewood and half a basket of medicinal herbs. In fact, she got a lot of them, but most of them were stored in her own space.

Later, before the frost, she would go to the mountains early every day to collect firewood. From time to time, she would meet a few villagers collecting firewood in the mountains. Everyone would say hello and then go their separate ways to continue looking for firewood.

After the frost, she harvested all the vegetables and radishes that had not been harvested earlier in the vegetable garden. She stored the cabbages in the kitchen and buried the radishes in a hole dug in the ground.

She looked at the yard next door from the top of her own wall and saw that they were at home, so she called out, "Fu Zhiqing, Dong Zhiqing, it will snow soon after the frost here. Cut the remaining vegetables in your yard and put them in the kitchen so that you don't have to dig them out in the snow in winter."

"Okay, thank you Tong Zhiqing for telling us," Fu Shinian replied.

"It's okay. I just need your help with something," Tong Yiya said.

When Fu Shinian heard her say that she needed their help, he asked, "What can we do for Tong Zhiqing?"

Seeing that the two were free, Tong Yiya said, "Winter is coming, and I have a few large vats in my yard. I'm afraid they will freeze in winter, so I would like to ask you two to help me move them."

"That's it. Then we'll come over to help now," said Guard Dong.

As they talked, the two of them stood up, walked out of their yard and walked towards her house. Tong Yiya also hurriedly got off the stool and went to the door to open it.

After a while, two people came over, and Tong Yiya took them to move the large soy sauce jars, pickle jars, and pickled vegetable jars in her yard to the kitchen.

After a while, all the jars were moved. Tong Yiya poured a bowl of sugar water for each person. After Fu Shinian finished drinking it, he said, "Since you have nothing to do, let's go back and harvest the cabbages first."

"Thank you for all the trouble. Why don't you have dinner at my house?" Tong Yiya thought that since others came to help her, she should at least treat them to a meal to express her gratitude.

Dong Weibing wanted to agree, but thinking of the gossip they heard when they were working in the fields a few days ago, he refused: "No need, Tong Zhiqing, we still have to go back to harvest cabbages."

Tong Yiya tried to persuade them to stay a few more times, but they both declined. In the end, they went back.

She didn't know about the rumors in the village because there were only one or two people who dared to spread gossip about her, and they didn't dare to spread it. It was also because Dong Weibing and his friends were with those people that they accidentally heard it.

After that, Tong Yiya never went out to collect firewood again. She just processed medicinal materials at home every day, or ground some medicinal powder.

This stone tool for grinding medicine was something she found in her own space. It was the same tool used to grind medicine powder in ancient times.

She can roll the hand grinder with her hands, and when her waist is tired, she can use her feet. It is quite practical for her now.

A few days later, it started snowing outside and the temperature suddenly dropped to more than ten degrees below zero. Tong Yiya took out her cotton coat from last year and put it on.

She burned some charcoal in the pharmacy and sat by the charcoal fire to warm herself. One day, an aunt came to visit her house after lunch.
