Stargirl's guide to life in the 70s

After arriving home, the four of them went to Yu's house to pick up the things they bought. By the way, they successfully asked Yu's mother to make a winter coat for each of them.

As for Zhang Tong and Lu Nanchi's quilts, Grandma Yu asked them to find the grandmother in the village to help make them.

Nainai is a well-known poor household in the village. Her wife died long ago, and she worked hard to raise her son. As a result, the son he finally raised died in an accident a few years ago, and his daughter-in-law also left the child and remarried.

Now only grandma and her 10-year-old grandson are left at home.

People in the village know about her family's situation and usually take more care of them. But Nainai is not willing to accept the benefits from the villagers.

As time went by, everyone started asking Grandma for help with some simple tasks, which also added some income to her family.

For example, Grandma Yu asked Zhang Tong and the others to go to Grandma to make quilts. Making quilts is relatively simple and does not take much effort.

Zhang Tong and Lu Nanchi were also Zhili's children. Even if they didn't pay for their work, they would always bring some food to Nainai.

In short, it is only good for milk.

As for Yu Jiang, she found an excuse to tell Father Yu that she was going to the city tomorrow, and then went back to her room to pack up the new books she got today.

Among the twenty books, 12 are in English, 3 are Chinese medicine books, and the remaining 5 are miscellaneous books from the Republic of China.

Yu Jiang was surprised to find that the English of this era was the standard language of Planet O in the Interstellar Federation.

As a killer who needs to blend into the environment at all times, Yu Jiang naturally knows O Star language, so reading those English books is not troublesome at all.

Yu Jiang briefly flipped through the book and put it into the space bracelet, then took out the herbs for Grandpa Bai tomorrow.

Yes, before the two separated, the old man told Yu Jiang that his surname was Bai and that he lived in a courtyard on the west side of the city.

the next day.

Yu Jiang rode his bicycle and arrived at the scrap station as promised, where Grandpa Bai was already waiting.

Yu Jiang got off the car a few steps away and pushed his bicycle over.

Looking around, occasionally someone passed by, Yu Jiang said: "Grandpa Bai, you have been waiting for a long time, shall we go home now?"

Before Yu Jiang finished speaking, Grandpa Bai understood: "Girl, follow Grandpa to your home quickly. Your Grandma Bai has been waiting for you at home for a long time!"

Grandpa Bai's home is not far from the scrap station, and it only takes seven or eight minutes to walk.

As soon as he entered the house, Yu Jiang smelled a strong smell of medicine.

Grandpa Bai explained: "Your grandma Bai's illness has been lingering for more than half a month. Before, the family still had money to buy two sets of medicine, but they couldn't buy ginseng that was more than fifty years old. She has been unable to treat this illness. Radical cure has been delayed..."

Grandpa Bai's eyes turned red as he spoke, but he quickly calmed down his emotions.

"Let me take you to read those books first."

Yu Jiang naturally disagreed, and said to Grandpa Bai: "You'd better take a look at these medicinal materials first, and if possible, boil Grandma Bai's medicine first. You can read the book anytime, there's no rush."

Grandpa Bai, who was always concerned about his wife, did not refuse and opened the backpack that Yu Jiang brought. Not only did he find the fifty-year-old ginseng mentioned yesterday, but there was even a hundred-year-old ginseng.

"This this!"

Yu Jiang consoled him: "Just keep it and cure Nainai Bai's disease first."

Bai Lao did not refuse, and made up his mind that he would let this girl choose at will.

Soon Grandma Bai's medicine was simmered in the stove over a small fire. Grandpa Bai first went to the bedroom to talk to Grandma Bai, and then took Yu Jiang to a utility room.

Grandpa Bai did not shy away from Yu Jiang and directly pressed the button on the wall. Then after a slight sound, a path appeared on the ground that only one person could pass through.

Grandpa Bai walked down slowly with a flashlight, and Yu Jiang followed behind.

The two of them went down to the secret room together.

Grandpa Bai walked to the wall and took out the matches in his pocket to light the lamp on the wall. Then Yu Jiang saw several boxes that looked very beautiful lying there.

Grandpa Bai opened a box at random, which was filled with books full of chronology.

Grandpa Bai said lightly: "These are all books that your Grandma Bai and I collected before, and some of them were passed down from our ancestors. Now, ah...now..."

Yu Jiang naturally knew what Grandpa Bai was lamenting and remained silent.

"Take them all! These things will eventually have a more useful place to go."

Yu Jiang also saw the old man's reluctance, "Grandpa Bai, you don't need to take them all away. I will take them back and make a copy, and then return them to you."

Although Grandpa Bai's hometown was reluctant to give up, he did not want to take advantage of the little girl: "It's no business. We agreed to exchange these books for it."

"Isn't what's in the book important? I'll make a copy of it. You might as well keep it and think about it."

Grandpa Bai did not refuse. He turned around and walked aside to open two boxes. One contained calligraphy and paintings that looked very contemporary, and the other almost blinded Yu Jiang when he opened it.

"Is this the little yellow croaker you are talking about?"

After Grandpa Bai was slightly surprised, he thought that it was normal for children nowadays to never see small yellow croakers. After all, gold is no longer in circulation.

"Well, Grandpa doesn't have much else here. These were all saved in the past. Now you and I, Grandma Bai, are the only ones at home, so we can't use them."

"That……"

Yu Jiang wanted to ask about his family, but in the end he didn't ask.

Grandpa Bai still understood what Yu Jiang meant, "I have a son who is currently on a farm in the Northeast..."

The Yu family raised their eyebrows. No wonder these two old people had such a hard life. They were more or less influenced by their son who was on the farm. He didn't know why he went to the farm.

Grandpa Bai didn't care how many thoughts his words aroused, he just continued, "Grandpa knows that you are not a creature in the pool. Even if these things cannot be used here in the future, they can be used over there in Xiangjiang...

It's good to have these around. "

Yu Jiang was a little surprised. Hearing what Grandpa Bai said, is this thing valuable? !

But isn’t this the body of a gold-eating insect?

If it was really the same thing, then there would be dozens of corpses weighing over 500 kilograms in her space!

Isn’t it all money? ! !

Then she will be rich!

When these corpses were being chased by Lu Beiyuan, they accidentally encountered a group of gold-eating insects blocking the road. In order to get away faster, Yu Jiang directly dealt with these insects, and because he wanted to leave no traces, he collected dozens of them casually. Entered the bracelet space.

If it weren't for the discovery when he was cleaning his bracelet after coming here, Yu Jiang would really not be able to remember these bugs.

Now it seems that she really has to thank this guy Lu Beiyuan.

"Grandpa, I don't know the price of these things, just give them to me."

Grandpa Bai simply gave Yu Jiang ten pieces of small yellow croaker, and then asked Yu Jiang to go up first. He shipped the books up.

"Grandpa Bai, let me come, you rest."

Yu Jiang would let the old man work and watch from the side.

Grandpa Bai smiled and pointed to the rope next to him, then took Yu Jiang to the entrance and pointed to the beam of the ceiling outside: "It doesn't take much effort to wrap the rope around it. I'll pull it from below, and things can go up directly." ”

Yu Jiang: That’s awesome!

After the things were transported up, Yu Jiang put the books into the backpack, put a layer of white flour on top, and then blocked it firmly with cloth.

Before leaving, Yu Jiang also went to see Grandma Bai. At that time, Grandma Bai was finishing drinking the medicine, sitting on the bed and waving to Yu Jiang, "Child, come quickly, let grandma take a look."

Yu Jiang walked over and sat on the bedside.

"I heard what your Grandpa Bai said. Grandma's illness is thanks to you. You are a good boy."

Yu Jiang was embarrassed by the praise: "No way. Thanks to Grandpa Bai, I can see so many books."

"Yes, the world says that studying is useless, but only what you really learn in your head is yours. I heard that you have research on medical skills. If you don't understand anything, I will come to you, Grandpa Bai. He used to be in the center of Beijing. The director of the hospital.”

Yu Jiang was shocked by this identity. It was really not easy.

I have a little more respect for Mr. Bai in my heart.

After chatting for a while, Yu Jiang saw that Grandma Bai was not in good spirits, so he stood up and left. Bai Lao sent her out of the house and told her to be careful not to be discovered.

Yu Jiang responded with a smile.

As soon as the bicycle turned around the intersection of Bai's hometown, Yu Jiang's hand passed over the basket on his back. The light in the basket on his back twisted slightly, and a large basket of books disappeared.
