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

Chapter 65 My sister is a good person

Greed is human nature, whether one is not greedy depends on one's character.

"Filial piety, you can say that people should not be greedy, which shows that you are a good child." Tao Qiuyi taught earnestly, "The first pill was given to you after you knelt down and begged me. I can't accept your kneeling for nothing."

"This second pill is the reward I gave you for your help. It's earned through your own labor."

You could say that, Xiaoshun frowned, feeling a little uncertain.

The old man now realized that the girl really wanted to help him and his grandson.

"Miss, my surname is Qi, and everyone calls me Old Man Qi. My grandson is Qi Wenshun. I won't say much to express my gratitude. If you need help from us grandfather and grandson in the future, just let me know." Regardless of the girl's purpose in helping him and his grandson, he accepted the favor.

Old man Qi has seen all kinds of people at his age.

Don't be fooled by this girl's poor clothes. She actually comes from a wealthy family. Otherwise, how could she carry so many tonic pills with her, and more than one.

Although she is young, she is very generous and doesn't expect anyone's gratitude when she shows kindness. This shows that she is not a petty person. There is no harm in making friends with such a person.

Was she looking for those textbooks for herself or for others? He didn't ask. It was enough that she had no ill will towards them, the grandfather and the grandson.

"Mr. Qi, you're welcome." Nodding to Mr. Qi, Tao Qiuyi stuffed the pill into Xiaoshun's hand and urged him, "Don't dawdle. Eat the pill quickly and go find me a textbook. My home is far from town, so I need to go back early."

Suddenly, she saw a book that had been wet with water, and the book was moldy and black.

Thinking about how he had just rummaged through the pile of books, taken out the pills without washing his hands, and even swallowed them, Tao Qiuyi's expression froze.

Just when he was about to remind Xiaoshun to wash his hands before taking the pill, he saw that Xiaoshun had already eaten it. He turned around to look at Grandpa Qi and saw that Grandpa Qi had also eaten it.

Well, we are not picky people.

Xiaoshun said to Tao Qiuyi, "Sister, please wait for me for a moment. I'll help my grandfather outside and come back soon to help you find the book."

"No need." Grandpa Qi felt that his body was not as heavy as before. He tried to stand up and actually stood up smoothly. He was very happy. "Grandpa is fine. Go out by yourself. It won't interfere with your search for books."

After saying that, Mr. Qi walked out from among a pile of books.

"Grandpa, take a rest after you go out. I'll find a book for my sister and then come to accompany you." After giving Xiaoshun instructions, he began to rummage through a pile of books.

"I understand." Mr. Qi's voice came from outside.

The task of finding textbooks was given to the child laborer Xiaoshun, while Tao Qiuyi herself concentrated on finding calligraphy and paintings. Surprisingly, she actually found more than a dozen pieces of calligraphy and paintings.

Xiaoshun lived up to expectations. In less than an hour, he helped Tao Qiuyi find all the textbooks she wanted from the mountain of books, and also found her a few books such as quotations.

When weighing the items, Tao Qiuyi asked Mr. Qi if he wanted to sell the calligraphy and paintings. Mr. Qi said no and wanted to give them to her.

Tao Qiuyi happily took out more pills and gave six pills each to the grandfather and grandson, a total of twelve pills, and told them to take one pill every day.

The grandfather and grandson were so happy that they didn't refuse this time and kept thanking him.

Xiaoshun immediately said, "Sister, next time you need to find a book, come and tell me, I will help you find it, and I won't charge you any pills as payment."

"Okay, if I want to buy more books, I will definitely come to you." Tao Qiuyi agreed with a smile.

After weighing the book, Mr. Qi tied it up with a rope. Tao Qiuyi thanked him, put the book and calligraphy and paintings into the backpack, and paid one yuan and twenty cents.

After taking the money, Mr. Qi whispered a reminder to her, "If someone sees those calligraphy and paintings and asks you what you bought them for, just say you bought them to make a fire." Tao Qiuyi paused, then understood what Mr. Qi meant and thanked him sincerely. "Okay, thank you for the reminder, Mr. Qi."

Then he walked away happily with the basket on his back.

Looking at the pills in their hands, the Qi family's grandfather and grandson were so excited that they couldn't calm down for a long time.

After taking the pills, they felt a lot more relaxed all over their bodies. If they took one pill a day, twelve pills would be enough for six days. After seven days, they would definitely feel better.

She was so generous that she was willing to give them fourteen pills at a time, even though the pills were so effective.

"Grandpa, my sister is a very good person." Xiaoshun turned his head to look at his grandfather.

"Yes, she is a good person." Old Man Qi agreed, saying that she was a rare good person.

Xiaoshun looked at the sky outside and said, "Grandpa, it's still early. I'm going to read a book."

"Go ahead." Old Man Qi waved his hand and walked over to sit on his shabby recliner.

"Grandpa, Grandpa." Xiaoshun soon came back with a surprise, holding a bag in his hand. When Xiaoshun came closer, Old Man Qi saw clearly that his grandson was holding a bag of flour.

"She left it." Old Man Qi was not asking, but confirming.

"Of course." Xiaoshun nodded.

She gave them some tonic pills and secretly left them a bag of flour. She was really... The grandfather and grandson were silent for a moment.

After leaving the scrap yard, Tao Qiuyi found an empty alley, entered the ring space to dress up, replaced the calligraphy and paintings in the backpack with mushrooms, and put the pheasant in a small sack under the mushrooms.

After taking the wrong road twice, Tao Qiuyi asked a passerby for directions and finally found the family compound next to the meat processing plant that the enthusiastic older sister had mentioned.

She had good eyesight and saw her elder sister standing at the gate of the family compound looking around from afar. She really did nothing but wait for her.

As they got closer, the eldest sister saw Tao Qiuyi and was obviously relieved. She smiled so hard that wrinkles appeared on her face. "Big sister, I've been waiting for you to come."

They had agreed yesterday that if the elder sister caught a pheasant, she would send it to her, otherwise she wouldn't come. She was really worried that the elder sister wouldn't be able to catch a pheasant.

The arrival of the elder sister meant that a pheasant had been caught, and she finally felt relieved.

"Sister, have you been waiting here for a long time?" Tao Qiuyi asked casually.

"No, no." The elder sister waved her hand and said, "Yesterday we agreed to wait for you all day, and you're here in less than half a day. I'm so happy."

"Let's go, let's go. This is not the place to talk. Let's go home and talk." The eldest sister reached out to hold Tao Qiuyi's hand, but Tao Qiuyi dodged sideways.

"No need to bother." Putting down the basket on her back, Tao Qiuyi said, "Big sister, everything you want is in the basket. Take the things home first and put them away. I'll just wait here for you to bring the basket out to me."

It was only the second time we met and we went to someone else's house, and she wasn't that familiar yet.

"How can that be possible?" When she heard that she wanted to wait at the door, the elder sister immediately refused to do so. "You call me elder sister and I call you younger sister. We are old sisters. Why are you still being polite to me?"

Tao Qiuyi said: "Sister, I'm not being polite to you, I'm..."

"It's better to be polite to my elder sister." The elder sister interrupted Tao Qiuyi and said, "Come on, come on, let's go home and sit down."
