Chapter 181 Preparations before Returning to Beijing



"It's broad daylight, so it's better not to let them pass. If the villagers see them, you will get into trouble," said Grandpa Zhang.

"Then let's go and see the room we have arranged for you. You have been suffering in the pharmacy for a while. Otherwise, we will be worried about you coming to the shed at night," Tong Yiya said as she supported the person and walked towards the pharmacy.

"This is not a big deal. It's much warmer than where we are. I have to thank you," said Grandpa Zhang.

"Grandpa Zhang, you're welcome. Look, this is the kang we have made. I also dried the quilt on it in the sun in the summer, but this quilt is one I have used before. I hope you don't mind it." Tong Yiya brought people into the house, walked to the kang and introduced it to Grandpa Zhang.

"Don't say that, little girl. I've been covered with hay over the years, so how could I possibly dislike your good cotton? I should thank you for preparing everything for me," said Grandpa Zhang with tears in his eyes.

Thinking about the life he had lived over the years, if it weren't for the secret help from Tong Yatou and the others, he would have long forgotten that he was in that pile of dirt.

"Okay, then I won't say anything more. Grandpa Zhang, you should be happy too. You have to believe that dawn will come sooner or later. Now we just have to take good care of ourselves and wait until dawn comes, and then contribute to our motherland." Seeing the old man like this, Tong Yiya realized that she had accidentally mentioned the old man's sad point, so she quickly changed the subject.

"Yes, yes, yes, I will take good care of my body," said Grandpa Zhang

Fu Shinian helped Grandpa Zhang put his clothes into a wooden box at the end of the kang, and said to the two of them, "Let's go eat first. We can talk while we have something to say."

"Yes, yes, yes. Grandpa Zhang, let's go eat first. Let me tell you, the food we had today was very delicious. You should eat more later. When we go back, you will have to go to the kitchen to cook for yourself. I will show you where our food is later," said Tong Yiya.

Fu Shinian also walked to Mr. Zhang's side, and together with Tong Yiya, he helped him to the kitchen. After helping him sit down, the four of them began to eat.

After dinner, Tong Yiya took Grandpa Zhang to find out where the food was stored in the kitchen, and then asked Dong Weibing and others to boil two pots of hot water and help Grandpa Zhang take a bath.

The clothes he was wearing were Fu Shinian's old clothes. After washing them, Tong Yiya sewed a lot of patches on them.

Although they are old clothes, the cotton inside them is still new and warm to wear. Tong Yiya was afraid that others would see them and snatch them from the elderly, so she made many of the things she gave them look old and torn.

After Grandpa Zhang finished his bath, the two men told him to go to bed and then went back to their yard. Tong Yiya closed the gate and went back to her room to rest.

In the evening, she thought about going to Fu Shinian's house to celebrate the New Year, so she must prepare gifts. They were all there these days, and it would be inconvenient for her to enter the space at that time, for fear that if she was not careful, others would find out that she was not in the room.

So she took advantage of the fact that Grandpa Zhang had just come over here today and would definitely sleep more soundly in the warm environment, so she slipped into her own space, first went to get the gifts for the Fu family, selected them all, took them out of her space and put them in her own cabinet, and then she could just pack them up when she cleaned up.

She counted out another 500 yuan separately and put it aside along with some nationally accepted bills. She was afraid of encountering thieves on the train if she took it with her, so she put it in the space and then carried a big bag with her and took it out from the space when she needed to use the money.

By the time she was ready, it was already twelve o'clock in the night. She left the space and lay on the bed, wondering if she could do something in the capital.

But in the end, she suppressed this thought. Beijing was a place where talented people gathered, and she might not be able to outplay others, so it was better for her to keep a low profile.

Besides, she would go to the Fu family to celebrate the New Year, and Fu Shinian and his family would definitely not let her go out alone.

Tong Yiya thought again about how since Grandpa Zhang refused to accept her as his apprentice last time, she did the same as she said before, she didn't care about anything, and still went there from time to time to deliver things and chat with them.

Although Grandpa Zhang did not agree to accept her as a disciple, if she encountered any medical problems, she could come to him and he would give her some answers.

Tong Yiya fell asleep while thinking. She woke up the next day when she heard a noise in the yard. Seeing that it was still dark outside, she quickly got up, dressed, got off the kang, opened the door, and saw Grandpa Zhang washing in the yard.

Seeing her coming out, Grandpa Zhang said, "Tong girl, I am sorry to have disturbed you."

"Grandpa Zhang, it's still early and there's nothing to do. Why don't you sleep a little longer?" Tong Yiya asked

"Alas, we get less sleep when we get old. I can't fall asleep lying down, so I thought of getting up and cooking breakfast. When you get up, you can eat directly," said Mr. Zhang.

"Is that so? Then you go to the kitchen first. I'll put on my socks and come over to help you light the carbon. You can read a book in the pharmacy. We can do the cooking. Besides, if we cook now, those two won't be able to get up to eat," said Tong Yiya.

I thought that the old man might have gotten up at this time every day before to start cleaning, so it had become a habit. Now that he has changed his environment, he went to bed early yesterday because he was tired. Today he is not tired anymore, so he feels a little uneasy.

"Okay, I'll have to lend you a book later. Please also tell me about the classification of medicinal materials in the pharmacy. I can take over after I get familiar with it," said Mr. Zhang.

Tong Yiya asked him to go to the kitchen first. She went back to the house to put on her socks and shoes, then went out to the kitchen, found her own charcoal fire, and burned it in a small iron bucket. Then she took it to the pharmacy, burned it in a charcoal basin, and added some charcoal.

Tong Yiya felt that the room was still a little cold, so she went to check the kang where Old Zhang slept. She saw that the firewood inside had burned out and the kang surface was not warm to the touch. She went to get some firewood and prepared to light the kang.

When Mr. Zhang saw this, he quickly said, "Since you don't sleep on the kang during the day, don't waste firewood."

"Don't worry, Grandpa Zhang. We have plenty of firewood at home. The room is so cold, and it will be warmer if we light the kang," Tong Yiya said as she lit the fire.

Seeing that he couldn't stop her, Mr. Zhang just let her do it. Tong Yiya lit the kang in a short while, added some firewood, and then closed the fire.

She stood up and walked behind the medicine cabinet and said to Mr. Zhang, "Grandpa Zhang, come and have a look. Some of the medical books I read are placed here. There is a secret door and you can see them. If you want to read a book, just take it from there. But you still have to hide it after reading. Most of these books were found in the recycling station. I'm afraid someone might see them."
