Grandpa Li was moved after hearing Tong Yiya's words. He thought to himself that he was an old man and it would be like this after all. If he could really hold on until the light comes, he would be able to see the younger generations in his family again.
But none of these could convince him to accept something from a little girl for free. He thought for a moment and handed over the pocket watch in his hand again, saying, "Tong Zhiqing, I know you are a kind-hearted girl. If you are willing to give us something, I will not refuse it this time, but we cannot take your things for nothing.
You'd better keep this pocket watch for now. If I have a chance to be rehabilitated and return to the city in the future, I will then exchange this pocket watch for something else. If I unfortunately don't survive, you can use it to pay back the debt and buy food.
If you don’t accept the things, then I can’t accept the things you send me.”
Tong Yiya thought about it and took the pocket watch and said, "Grandpa Li, I will let you keep this pocket watch for a while. Don't worry, I will keep it well and wait for the day when you come to exchange it with me."
"Okay, then put down the things you are carrying. You have been carrying them for quite a while. We old men and women will have to trouble you in the future," Grandpa Li said with a smile when he saw her take the pocket watch.
"I have something here too. Take it and put it under Tong Zhiqing's place, Old Li." While they were talking, an old man behind them got out of bed and walked over with a black jade bracelet in his hand.
Grandpa Li turned around and looked at the jade bracelet in his hand and said, "Old Liu, this thing was left for you by your sister-in-law as a keepsake. Why did you take it out? Take it back and put it away."
"Hey, if I keep this thing, I might not be able to protect it one day. It's better to give it to Tong Zhiqing. It can also exchange for more food for us. If I can exchange it back in the future, I will exchange it back and I can protect it then," said Old Liu.
This thing was left by his deceased wife. He and his wife had been studying medicine to save lives. Finally, he was reported because there were several medical books at home. Later, his wife could not bear the blow and died before she could be demoted.
The two had only one son and one daughter in their lifetime, but both died on the battlefield, leaving behind two old people. Ben thought he could make a living in Kyoto by relying on his medical skills.
So many things happened afterwards, and the old couple still had to suffer this even when they were old.
Tong Yiya looked at Old Liu, who was the old man she had come to see last time. She had gotten to know some of the people here during this period. She had also heard of this Old Liu, and it was said that he used to be a very good old Chinese doctor.
The herbs she smelled last time she came here should have been what he said, and were dug up by other old men from the mountains.
After listening to what he said, Mr. Li also felt that they really couldn't protect these things. Now was the farming season and those people were idle. If one day they came here to search and found these things, they would not be able to protect them at all.
He reached out to take the item, turned around and handed it to Tong Yiya, saying, "Then I'll trouble Tong Zhiqing to take good care of it. We'll definitely come back to exchange it when we have the chance in the future."
"Okay, Grandpa Li, don't worry. Where should I put these things for you first?" Tong Yiya took the things, wrapped them carefully in a handkerchief and put them in her bag first, actually putting them in the space.
After putting away the bracelet and pocket watch, she placed the things on her back in the place designated by Mr. Li, put down the food, and handed the medicinal materials to Mr. Liu.
She did not separate the herbs one by one, but just packed some of them separately. At that time, she thought that there were people here who knew about herbs and their medical skills must be better than hers, so she did not prepare them well.
The main reason is that everyone's illness is different in severity, and the dosage of medicine required is different. Another reason why she sent the medicine over is that when someone here is sick, it is inconvenient to find her, so she sent some over.
After putting down all the things, the other elderly people took out all the old things they had brought here and hid, and gave them to Tong Yiya for safekeeping on the pretext of exchanging them for food. When there is a chance to be rehabilitated in the future, they will exchange them for other things.
They didn't have to get all the food they exchanged at once, so they had to trouble Tong Yiya to send some over once in a while, just like before.
Tong Yiya packed up everyone's belongings and put them into the space. Without staying here for long, she got up and went back.
Grandpa Li sent her to the door, and before he opened the door for her to go out, he said, "Be careful when you come to our place in the future. It's okay if the food is delivered a few days late. You must pay attention to your own safety and don't let anyone see you."
"I understand, Grandpa Li. I will be more careful every time I come here. It's cold outside so don't go out. This place is not far from my courtyard. I will be there in a few minutes," Tong Yiya replied.
"Okay, then you should go back quickly and be careful on the road." Seeing that she had listened to him, Mr. Li didn't say anything more. He opened the door and watched her walk a distance before closing the door.
Back in the house, the other elderly people gathered together and looked at the things she brought, which included some fine grains, ginger, brown sugar, and a small piece of bacon.
Tong Yiya's feet stepped on the snow, making a crunching sound, and soon she returned to her own courtyard.
After entering the yard and locking the door from the inside, she went back to her room, added firewood to the kang, closed the door, and slipped into the space.
She had a simple meal in the space, then started a day of running, then some equipment exercise, and finally a shower before going into the study to read medical books for an hour.
Before going to bed at night, she was still thinking about the things that the 03 system had given her recently. Most of them were medicinal seeds. Two-fifths of the land in the space was planted with medicinal herbs.
The medicinal herbs that were planted before have now grown up, and there is actually a lot of ginseng among them. Tong Yiya later left the better medicinal herbs that were as old as possible in the field.
Other medicinal herbs will also be brought into the space at night, picked and processed into dry herbs for storage. It will be seen whether there will be a business related to medicinal herbs in the future. At that time, they can take out the herbs in the space and use them first, thus saving money on purchasing medicinal herbs.
She replanted new medicinal seeds in the empty medicinal land and planted and harvested repeatedly. During this period of time, a lot of prepared medicinal herbs have been stored in the space.
Thinking that the system would deliver something to me tomorrow when I signed in, I fell asleep and had no dreams all night until nine o'clock the next morning.
When she woke up, she first warmed herself up in the quilt on the kang and put on her clothes as usual, then got up from the kang, washed up in the house, and then went out to the kitchen to cook her own breakfast.
The snow that fell last night was not very heavy, and there was only a thin layer of snow in the yard today, so there was no need to clean up this little snow.
Tong Yiya was stirring the porridge in the pot, and she was signing in for today in her mind. "Congratulations to the host, you signed in successfully today and won a pair of rabbit fur gloves."
