Traveling through the 1970s: The young wife loves to make trouble

Chapter 64 Don’t be greedy
The old man ran to Xiaoshun, already out of breath. He sat down on the pile of books, picked up Xiaoshun, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable again?"

"Grandpa, don't worry, I'm fine." Leaning in his grandfather's arms, Xiaoshun tried to catch his breath and explained slowly. "When the book fell, I was underneath and didn't have time to dodge, but I wasn't buried. I crawled out by myself."

There was a hint of pride in Xiaoshun's tone.

The old man reached out and poked him on the forehead, scolding him: "You! You! You! Grandpa has told you so many times not to be so focused on reading and forget yourself. Pay attention to your surroundings occasionally."

"And don't sit under a pile of books to read. They'll fall and hit you, and even bury you. Tell me, when have you ever listened to me? How many times have you been buried, and how many times have I dug you out from under the pile of books?"

The grandson is good in every way and listens to him very much, but there is one bad thing: he reads too seriously and easily forgets time and ignores everything around him.

He had been buried many times, and today was not the first time. Tao Qiuyi was speechless when he looked at Xiaoshun.

He is the one who refuses to change despite repeated warnings.

"Grandpa, don't be angry, I know I was wrong." Xiaoshun apologized immediately.

"You know you're wrong every time, but you just don't change." The old man didn't believe him at all.

"Grandpa, I'm sorry. I really know I was wrong. I will definitely change next time." Xiaoshun remembered that his grandfather had just run away and asked quickly, "Grandpa, you just ran. Are you feeling unwell?"

"Grandpa is fine, you don't have to worry." The old man said this, but his face looked very bad.

Are both grandfather and grandson sick? Tao Qiuyi began to look at them carefully. They were both thin and pale, obviously malnourished.

Malnutrition was a common problem during this period, and it was only divided into severe or mild. The original owner was also malnourished. Tao Qiuyi could make pills for various diseases, but he could not treat illnesses.

However, she could still see the most obvious symptoms on the surface.

Because he had stepped on the pile of books and hit Xiaoshun, Tao Qiuyi felt responsible. He took out a pill from his space ring, walked over to the grandfather and grandson, bent down, and handed the pill to Xiaoshun. "Take it, it will make you feel better."

"What is this?" Xiaoshun didn't take the pill, but looked at Tao Qiuyi with his big eyes that were clearly black and white.

"It's a tonic pill." Tao Qiuyi replied. Seeing that Xiaoshun didn't want to take the pill, she wasn't the kind of person who would force anyone, so she turned her wrist and took the pill herself.

Xiaoshun and the old man both widened their eyes. What was she doing? No one else took the pills she gave them, so she ate them herself. Didn't she want to waste them?

The surprised expressions of the old man and the child made Tao Qiuyi speechless. She curled her lips and said, "I am also very thin and need to nourish myself."

She and Li Zi moved into the house to sleep last night, but she still couldn't sleep, so she went to the space to make some tonic pills. She didn't come out of the space until the rooster crowed.

If there are four people at home, you need to make more pills.

It turned out to be her own tonic pills, and she was willing to share one with him just to make him feel more comfortable. Xiaoshun felt a warm feeling in his heart.

Since they were tonic pills, she must have more than one on her. Xiaoshun looked at his grandfather, gritted his teeth, got up, walked to Tao Qiuyi, and suddenly knelt down.

"Why are you kneeling to me?" Tao Qiuyi stepped back repeatedly, looking at Xiaoshun in confusion.

"Xiaoshun, what are you doing?" The old man struggled to get up from the pile of books and help his grandson up.

They may be poor, but they must have great ambitions, and they certainly won't do things that put others in a difficult position.

However, he was powerless. The old man was too weak. He struggled a few times and then sat down to catch his breath. "Grandpa..." Xiaoshun looked at his grandfather with guilt and kowtowed to Tao Qiuyi. "Sister, I know your pills are very precious. Can you please give me one of them? My grandfather's body..."

Before Xiaoshun could finish his words, a hand appeared in front of him, with a pill in the palm of its hand.

Staring blankly at the pill, Xiaoshun forgot what he was going to say next.

The old man was also stunned.

"Don't you want it?" Tao Qiuyi asked deliberately.

"No, no, I want it, I want it." Xiao Shun shook his head and nodded, almost making himself dizzy.

"Take it if you want it." Tao Qiuyi signaled him with her eyes to take the pill from her hand.

Xiaoshun reached out to take it, but was afraid to do so. He looked at Tao Qiuyi in surprise and suspicion. Before he could say anything to thank her, his sister handed the pill to him, catching him off guard.

Seeing that he wanted to take it but didn't dare to, Tao Qiuyi lost his patience, grabbed his little hand and put the pill in his hand. "Your grandfather looks very uncomfortable. Give it to your grandfather to eat, quickly."

Grandpa was feeling very uncomfortable, Xiaoshun suddenly woke up. He could see that Grandpa was feeling uncomfortable, so he knelt down and asked the sister for pills.

Xiaoshun got up and handed the pill to the old man, "Grandpa, eat it."

The old man looked at Xiaoshun, then at Tao Qiuyi. Seeing his hesitation, Xiaoshun directly put the pill to his grandfather's mouth. The refreshing aroma of the medicine filled his nose. A light flashed in the old man's turbid eyes, and he stretched out his skinny hand to hold his grandson's wrist.

Glancing at Tao Qiuyi, the old man said to Xiaoshun, "Xiaoshun, grandpa is fine. This pill is very precious. It's useless for grandpa to eat it, so you take it."

How could it be useless for Grandpa to eat it? Xiaoshun raised his eyes and looked at Tao Qiuyi. He did not forget that when his sister gave him the pill, she said that Grandpa was very uncomfortable and asked him to give it to Grandpa quickly.

Tao Qiuyi understood what the old man meant. He must have guessed that her pill was very effective, and he was reluctant to eat it himself, so he gave it to his grandson. He was afraid that his grandson would not eat it obediently, so he said that.

They would rather push the pill to each other than come to her to ask for another pill. Neither the grandfather nor the grandson is greedy or selfish.

"Uncle, your grandson knelt down and kowtowed to me to ask for medicine for you. He is a filial child. Please take it." Tao Qiuyi said as he took out another pill, pointed at the pile of books with his other hand, and looked at Xiaoshun.

"Xiaoshun, help me find the elementary, middle, and high school textbooks in that pile of books, and I'll give you this pill."

The grandfather and grandson both showed expressions of disbelief.

Is it appropriate to give away that precious pill so easily?

Tao Qiuyi didn't say anything and waited for Xiaoshun to answer.

Xiaoshun shook her head at this time, "Sister, I will help you find the book you want, but I don't want your pills."

"Why?" Tao Qiuyi asked in confusion.

He clearly needed her pills.

Xiaoshun looked at his grandfather and replied, "Grandpa said that people should not be greedy. You have already given us such a precious pill. We are very grateful and cannot ask for a second one."
