She put the jar back and stacked firewood on top of it. Recently, the Tang brothers had been busy tending to the fields. When they returned home, they were so tired they didn’t even want to eat, let alone check on the money they had hidden away. Besides, they might have looked at their cheques, but they definitely wouldn’t bother with the cash.
They had absolute trust in their secret hiding place for the cash, and they never worried it might be stolen.
Tang Yuxin moved the money back into her room and took out an old doll. The doll was bought by Tang Zhinian for her when she was little, saving every piece of his own food to afford it. It was always a treasure to her and she kept it till adulthood. However, once the thirty-year-old Tang Yuxin came back, the doll lost its favor.
The doll was quite big, weighing more than fifty kilograms. In the countryside, which child, like her, still had a doll to hold? Therefore, her life in the village was quite unique.
She removed all the cotton stuffing from the doll and then stuffed the money into it. However, the doll now weighed much more than before. After pondering for a while, she bundled the doll with some manuscripts and a few books she had written.
“Did you want this put away?” Tang Zhijun took the doll, feeling its weight, and saw the bundle of handwritten manuscripts attached to it. A small child who could not likely read much yet had such well-written characters.
So, Tang Zhijun felt both surprised and proud. Their little Yuxin was smart. In the future, she could become a painter.
He had already begun planning various identities for Tang Yuxin – a musician, a painter, a scientist. But he had never thought that Tang Yuxin might become a doctor in the future.
Her interest in medicine was deeply rooted and undeniable.
“Uncle, put it up there,” Tang Yuxin pointed at a big tree outside. Fearing that Tang Zhijun might discover something, she wanted to act swiftly and get it over with.
All right, Tang Zhijun squinted. He would never refuse his niece’s request. He held the heavy doll in one hand and his niece’s little hand in the other.
When they got to the courtyard, he tied the doll to his back, warmed up his hands, and quickly climbed up the tree. He placed the doll on a branch. After he climbed down, he felt something was missing.
He went inside and brought out a large piece of tarpaulin.
“Look at this,” he rubbed Tang Yuxin’s little face, “Uncle will cover this on top for you. Don’t worry, no matter how much it rains, it won’t get wet.”
Tang Yuxin’s eyes curved into a smile. That’s right, her Uncle understood.
And her adorable appearances melted her Uncle’s heart.
He cheerfully scaled the tree like a monkey, covered the things Tang Yuxin had hidden in the tree with the tarpaulin, and tied it up securely. Not only rain but even a storm wouldn’t affect it now.
Tang Yuxin reached Chen Zhong’s doorstep and knocked, but no one was home.
Chen Zhong had gone up the mountain to gather herbs. Such a pity that he had so many herbs and books in his house. How about breaking into his house and taking everything out?
But after thinking about it, she decided against it.
