At the beginning, he took his seven younger siblings to join Yi Zhonghai.

"Haha, it's alright, this little bit of wine is nothing. Seeing you all laughing so happily, even if you brought ten times the amount of wine, I wouldn't get drunk."

Yi Zhonghai looked at him and smiled with satisfaction.

"Then I'd like to talk to you and your sister-in-law about something."

Yi Zhongding nodded and said.

"Tell me, is there anything you need my help with, brother and sister-in-law? Don't be shy."

Yi Zhonghai sat up straight and said.

"Then let me finish, brother and sister-in-law."

"Here is..."

Yi Zhongding took the money out of his pocket, but was interrupted before he could say anything.

"Dingya, take the money back and keep it for yourself. Your elder brother and sister-in-law don't lack money; what they lack is a happy and harmonious family life."

"Now that you've come, my brother and sister-in-law will never have any regrets in their lives. It's only right that we spend any amount of money on you."

Yi Zhonghai immediately understood when he saw the money in the man's hand.

"Brother, let me finish speaking first."

"We've been together for almost a month, and you've been at our home for two or three days now. We've been so kind to you and your sister-in-law, and we'll always remember it. We'll definitely repay you in the future."

"I'm sharing this money not because I'm being distant with you, but precisely because I'm not being distant, to help with household expenses."

"If I didn't consider you my closest family, would I have taken out this money? Of course not. Whether it's out of selfishness or to keep something to myself, I definitely wouldn't have taken it out."

"Don't you agree?"

Yi Zhongding paused at this point.

Yi Zhonghai and the other man exchanged a glance, their smiles widening as they nodded in unison.

What does this tell us?

This shows that the children genuinely approve of them.

That made the effort worthwhile.

Moreover, the fact that Ding Yazi could say these words proves that he is a good child who knows how to be grateful.

They deserve to be completely open and honest with each other.

"This money is the living allowance given to us by the government. It's five yuan per person per month, which adds up to forty yuan."

"This is just enough for us to live on for a month in Shennongjia, but this is Beijing, so I don't know if it will be enough."

"Now we are all part of this family, so this money should be used to supplement the household expenses. We can't just rely on your salary to live."

"Even if you're the eldest brother and sister-in-law, this doesn't make sense, does it?"

"We have our own living expenses, yet we take it all for granted and let you bear the burden of the family. Tell me, can we even be considered human beings?"

"Besides, we're growing up day by day, and we need money for everything from food and drink to toileting. To be honest, this little bit of money isn't even enough to fill the gaps; the bulk of the expenses depend on you."

"I know you asked me to keep this money so that we could have peace of mind, but watching you give without any gratitude is what makes our conscience uneasy."

"Furthermore, you and your sister-in-law can't raise us to be people who only know how to take but not how to give, can you?"

"This money will only be given to us when we come of age, but that's when we'll be able to spend it."

"Since we are a family, a whole, then everyone should contribute their own strength."

"Don't you agree?"

Yi Zhongding finished speaking his mind in one breath.

He didn't know if it was because he and his group were all close relatives of Yi Zhonghai.

Anyway, ever since he met Yi Zhonghai...

This older brother is competent and qualified.

This is completely different from the deep-thinking and sinister character he portrays in the TV series.

Therefore, he genuinely approves of the older brother and sister-in-law in front of him.

Human hearts are made of flesh and blood.

The couple treated them with complete sincerity.

He treated them like thieves because of his superficial impressions from his previous life.

Even the warmest heart will grow cold.

This is not something a person should do.

Some people are bad, but others see them as benefactors.

Some people are good, but others see them as demons.

Who can truly say whether a person is good or bad?

Ultimately, after much persuasion from Yi Zhongding, the matter was resolved.

Yi Zhonghai and the other man finally agreed to put the money away for now.

However, judging from their appearance, they definitely won't use this money.

But for Yi Zhongding, this finally put his mind at ease.

night.

Yi Zhongding finished telling the story as usual and put the little ones to sleep.

Only then did I close my eyes.

Consciousness sank into the Shennong Space.

But this sight immediately filled him with joy.

The crops he cultivated had already sprouted.

To his even greater surprise, the dried Chinese herbs had all regained their vitality.

The already withered branches remained withered.

However, green shoots sprouted from the roots of each of the Chinese medicinal herbs.

There are more than 30 kinds of herbs, totaling 200 plants.

They all survived.

Shennong Space is no longer that empty and desolate scene.

Instead, it presents a lush, vibrant green scene.

Just looking at it can make you feel good.

It truly lives up to its reputation as the Shennong Cauldron, forged from materials such as the Breath of Earth, the Divine Water of the Three Lights, and the stone used by Nuwa to mend the sky.

Now Yi Zhongding can finally relax completely.

This space is where these precious Chinese medicinal herbs are produced.

Even if he can't catch fish in the river or hunt in the mountains, he can still dig up medicinal herbs to exchange for money.

But there is also a problem.

He first needs to obtain some local Chinese herbal medicine seeds from Beijing for planting.

It has to be something that can fetch a good price.

Such as Salvia miltiorrhiza, Codonopsis pilosula, Polygonatum sibiricum, As

As for the Chinese herbs brought from Shennongjia, they had to be dried and processed by ourselves before they could be sold.

We must be cautious when selling.

Yi Zhongding observed the changes within the space.

I always feel like something is missing.

life.

It's too quiet here.

Mind this.

Yi Zhongding understood what was missing in the space.

He also had to purchase the breeding stock of livestock and poultry before the unified purchase and sale system was implemented.

The unified purchase and sales policy was only proposed in October of 1953, after the New Year.

There is still plenty of time.

You can start by planting Chinese medicinal herbs and crops.

Let's expand the space after absorbing enough medicinal energy.

Otherwise, there would be nowhere to raise them.

There should also be space for insects that can generate income or produce beneficial crops, such as honey and silkworms.

As for fish, they'll have to wait until the space continues to expand.

There's nowhere to dig a pond now.

As space gradually expands, it evolves into a smaller world.

It's just that he probably, likely, or unlikely to be struck down by the Heavenly Dao again.

However, these are all things from a long time ago.

The thoughts in Yi Zhongding's mind only flashed by.

Attention returned to the space.

He could already sense the vibrant yet still faint medicinal aura.

He consciously drew a trace of the substance into his dantian.

I didn't feel anything.

It seems we'll have to wait a little longer.

As Yi Zhongding pondered this, he planted all the crops that had already sprouted.

He didn't even wait for the rice seedlings to be grown before transplanting them.

Just like with wheat, you can plant the germinated seeds directly.

Anyway, he was operating it with his mind.

The seeds for each pit are evenly distributed.

It didn't take long to finish.

One mu of land was divided into rice, wheat, peanuts and corn.

The remaining medicinal herbs were also planted on the other five-tenths of the land.

Then he admired the fruits of his labor for a while.

I just left the space.
