The little dumpling is five and a half years old, which made his father so angry that his head split

When the three of them arrived, Grandpa Shen and his grandson had already returned.

They also returned with a full load.

Li Tian and her brother showed off the gifts they had purchased, but neither of them flaunted the jade they had bought, so Liu Wei naturally didn't say anything either.

These kinds of things are best enjoyed in private, behind closed doors.

It's not that I don't trust the character of the Shen family, but there's absolutely no need to demonstrate it.

The principle of not flaunting wealth applies at all times and to all people.

If you can avoid revealing it, then don't.

Making money quietly is the best way to prosper in the long run and avoid unnecessary trouble.

Old Shen gave Li Tian several paper packets.

"The wild Panax notoginseng here is really good. I bought you a pound. Your maternal and paternal grandfathers can both use it."

"Dendrobium officinale is a top-grade tonic for nourishing Yin, I bought you two catties."

Old Shen shook his head.

"I also bought some to store up. At the current rate of harvesting, wild medicinal herbs will become increasingly difficult to find in the future."

Upon hearing this, Li Tian suddenly recalled a crazy thing that would happen in later generations.

Due to the protection of nature, natural medicinal materials such as musk, bezoar, tiger bone, and rhinoceros horn have become virtually nonexistent since the 1990s.

As a result, pre-existing medicines such as Angong Niuhuang Wan, which were available before the 1990s, became scarce and priceless.

Even at exorbitant prices, no one would put them up for sale.

Because these could all be life-saving drugs.

The person who has these medicines in hand isn't short of money.

"Grandpa Shen, if that's the case, shouldn't we also stock up on some finished pills? The efficacy of pills produced later might be reduced, right?"

Old Shen nodded silently, but didn't say a word.

Such hoarding of medicine should not be encouraged or publicized; if an individual wants to do it, that's their own business.

But it must be said that Li Tian is quick-witted and perceptive.

Li Tian stopped talking about the topic and settled the medical bill with Old Shen.

I asked someone to buy it for me, and they also helped me check the quality, so I absolutely cannot owe anyone money again.

In that way, the little friendship they had was destroyed.

Shen Yi handed Li Tian several medicine pouches.

"These are some combinations I learned to create. Choose one you like and keep it, and you can give the rest away."

Li Tian took it, smelled it, and chose a scent she liked.

Li Muchen also chose one he liked.

Li Tian returned the remaining few to Shen Yi.

"This is your property, so you should keep the favor as well."

Shen Yi didn't refuse, because Li Tian showed them the little things she bought, things that only girls seemed to know how to choose.

Although I was visiting the Ji family as a guest and to provide medical care, I couldn't go empty-handed.

The medicine pouch was a gift that their doctor could be quite proud of.

The next day, we ate rice noodles outside for breakfast.

No one went out in the morning because they didn't know when Li Tian's second uncle would come over.

It's not appropriate to keep people waiting.

After everyone packed their things, Li Tian even put on Zhou Qin's Dai ethnic clothing.

My hair was also styled properly.

She even carried the handbag that Zhou Qin had embroidered herself on her back.

She didn't want her grandparents to see her looking disheveled.

The elderly couple already dote on her; there's no need to cause them further emotional distress and affect their health.

After packing their things, and feeling bored, the group sat in the room and played cards.

When Li Tian's second uncle, Ji An, arrived, it was almost noon.

Of the three uncles, Li Tian had the least interaction with this second uncle, was the least familiar with him, and had never even spent time alone with him.

But her uncle came to pick them up personally, all because of her.

Despite finding Ji An to be very serious, Li Tian still smiled and walked to his side.

"Hello, Second Uncle."

Ji An was busy and hadn't spent enough time with his only niece, which made him feel very guilty.

He was about to raise his hand to touch Li Tian's hair when he reached out halfway before he came to his senses.

This is my niece who's almost a young woman, not my own little rascal, so I can't be too forward with her.

"Tian Tian looks beautiful in this ethnic costume; your grandma will definitely love it."

Mentioning my maternal grandmother instantly makes me feel much closer to her.

They are all descendants of their maternal grandparents, and are their closest relatives.

Li Tian smiled and twirled around.

"I think it's beautiful too. It was a gift from a friend; it's her new dress."

Ji An reached out and patted Li Tian on the shoulder.

"You've made new friends in just over half a month! That's amazing!"

Li Tian naturally linked arms with Ji An and introduced them to Elder Shen and the others.

Everyone greeted each other politely.

"Everyone, sorry to keep you waiting. I'll treat you to lunch; let's try some local specialties together."

Old Shen smiled.

"We're all here as guests, how could we let you spend money?"

"You've taken good care of my Tian Tian, ​​so what's a meal? It's nothing."

After giving his greetings, Liu Wei led Ji An's driver into the house to move the luggage.

Ji An led Elder Shen and the others to the car.

One jeep wasn't enough, so Ji An brought two cars.

Li Tian sat next to Ji An.

Old Shen took the two children and got into another car.

It's not easy for uncles and nephews to meet, they should catch up properly.

Shen Yi asked Li Muchen in a low voice.

"Is that a real thing in Tian Tian's uncle's waist?"

Li Muchen nodded.

How could a real military officer carry a fake gun? This isn't a movie.

Moreover, the number of pilots is extremely small, and each one is a key target for national protection.

Their configurations are naturally top-of-the-line.

Shen Yi looked on with envy.

"He's so handsome!"

That's right, and Li Muchen couldn't refute it.

He carries his grandfather's blood and naturally dreams of joining the army, but he also loves doing research.

So, I haven't decided what path I'll take in the future yet.

"Tian Tian's three uncles are all soldiers, but her eldest uncle has already retired from the military."

Shen Yi glanced at him a few more times with envy.

You rarely see living pilots.

"Is Tian Tian going to be a female soldier in the future?"

Li Muchen nodded.

Li Tian has a clear life plan; she is definitely going to join the army.

"Should Tian Tian be a performing arts soldier or a communications soldier? It's a bit of a waste of her talents."

Li Muchen's lips curled up.

Li Tian is definitely going to the front-line combat troops; she also has a grand ambition: to become a female special forces soldier.

But it seems that these things are not possible right now, so Li Muchen didn't explain further.

"Tian Tian's martial arts training is not just for show; she will have a big stage to perform on."

Shen Yi might refute this if someone else said it.

But Li Tian came from a military family, so she was naturally not content with mediocrity, and she also had the ability and influence to do great things.

After the luggage was loaded, the car started.

They went straight to the best restaurant in Kunming.

Ji An had booked a private room before arriving, and upon arrival, he was led there directly.

At the dinner table, people chat about everything under the sun, and everyone knows how to say a few polite words.

Ji An is on a mission, so he can't drink alcohol.

Liu Wei had a mission to fulfill and couldn't drink alcohol.

It wouldn't be fun for Old Shen to drink alone, so he simply didn't order any wine.

Ji An raised his cup, using tea instead of wine.

"Sir, I'm sorry, but when we get home, my father will have a few more drinks with you."

Old Shen didn't know Ji An's rank, but it couldn't be lower, so he didn't dare to be presumptuous in the slightest.

You're too kind.
