Traveling through the 1940s, the whole village was massacred at the beginning

"That's amazing! I want to be as awesome as Sixth Grandpa in the future!" Jiang Jiyun exclaimed with a smile, his big eyes sparkling, full of longing and expectation for the future.

Jiang Wenming looked down at her, his lips slightly raised, revealing a gentle smile: "Have you memorized all the medical books that your sixth uncle gave you?" His voice was low and magnetic.

Jiang Jiyun nodded vigorously, with a confident light in her eyes: "Yes! I have memorized Huangdi Neijing, Qianjin Fang, Synopsis of the Golden Chamber, Treatise on Warm Diseases, Danxi's Heart Method, Zunsheng's Eight Fas and Compendium of Materia Medica. I worked very hard." Her tone was firm, revealing a spirit of not admitting defeat.

Jiang Wenming smiled with satisfaction and patted her head gently: "Very good, keep it up. Your Sixth Grandfather will definitely be happy when he knows."

At this time, Jiang Jiyun suddenly realized that she had been drinking spiritual spring water while traveling recently. She found that her mind seemed to become clearer and clearer, and she could memorize things faster and faster.

Dong Limao and Chen Si closed the gate and walked over, looking at Jiang Jiyun and Jiang Wenming in surprise.

Dong Limao couldn't help but say, "My goodness, how old is that child? He has memorized so many books?"

Chen Size said without any envy: "I was thinking if I had studied medicine back then, would things be much better than they are now? But when I heard that brat memorized so many medical books, it gave me a headache. Fortunately, I didn't study medicine, otherwise I would have to beg for food."

Dong Limao laughed when he heard him say that, and Chen Si also laughed. The atmosphere between the two of them was relaxed and happy.

Jiang Wenming also called a rickshaw, and they took the rickshaw to the house where they lived now.

"We don't have enough money to buy a big house, so my sixth uncle and I decided to buy this old building. It's a good deal in the concession. It was with the help of John's uncle that we were able to buy such a cheap house." Jiang Wenming helped Jiang Jiyun get off the rickshaw, paid the money and took her to the front of the two-story building.

Located in the corner of the Y Concession is a two-story building that has experienced many hardships.

The exterior of the building appears somewhat dilapidated, with the paint on the walls peeling off, revealing the mottled bricks and stones underneath, like an ancient painting.

The tiles on the roof are uneven, with new tiles and old tiles intertwined, as if silently telling the passage of time and the vicissitudes of life.

When I pushed open the old gate, I saw Xiaobao's wooden horse toy, a stone table and several stone benches in the yard.

Once inside, the layout of the house was simple and plain, with no fancy decorations and only some basic furniture.

A worn-out sofa, a few patched-up chairs, and a rickety table.

These furniture all look like they were bought from a second-hand market, with obvious signs of use, but they give people a familiar feeling.

There are also several black and white photos hanging on the wall, recording the beautiful moments of the past. These are the photos John took of them.

The wooden stairs creaked as I went upstairs. I could feel the vibration under my feet with every step.

Jiang Jiyun's eyes widened in disbelief. Looking at the old house in front of her, which was completely different from what she had imagined, she couldn't help but exclaimed, "Uncle, we spent so much money to buy this old, dilapidated house?"

Jiang Wenming nodded helplessly, with a bitter smile on his face: "Yes, it was thanks to John that I didn't have to spend any money to enter the city through the two checkpoints, otherwise I couldn't even afford this house! The prices here are really too high. I spent 110 small yellow croakers to buy this house."

As he spoke, he grimaced with heartache. If he had kept this money in his hometown, he could have become a small landlord.

Jiang Jiyun was so shocked that she opened her mouth wide and couldn't speak for a long time. She originally thought that she had been mentally prepared for the high consumption in Hu City, but now she realized that her thinking was still too conservative.

"It's even more outrageous. Do you know how much the one-room house we rented at the beginning cost per month?" Jiang Wenming said with a wry smile.

Jiang Jiyun thought it was just a room, and at most one or two dollars, so he asked, "Two dollars?"

"Two? Two oceans can only be rented in the concession area, and the landlord actually asked for ten oceans!"

Looking back on that period, they, three adults and one child, were squeezed into a small room. Life was extremely inconvenient and simply unbearable.

In comparison, this house, although shabby but at least more spacious, seems to be their best choice.

"Ten? Isn't this almost like robbery?" Jiang Jiyun stared at Jiang Wenming with wide eyes.

"That's right. They are robbing it openly. If you think it's too expensive, you can choose not to rent it. There are plenty of people who want to rent it." Jiang Wenming sighed.

"By the way, there is a curfew here at night. You can't go out at night, okay?" Jiang Wenming took her to the room upstairs to remind his little niece who liked to go out.

"I understand." Jiang Jiyun knew that there was a curfew in big cities.

Jiang Wenming took her into a small room and said gently, "This is the room that Uncle Six specially prepared for you. You and Wanting will have your own independent space."

Jiang Jiyun looked around curiously, full of anticipation for this new environment. When her eyes fell on the small bed, a warm feeling surged in her heart.

Although it was just a simple wooden bed, it made her feel very safe. Beside the bed was a slightly old but carefully restored desk, on which were neatly placed some pens, inks and books waiting for her use.

Jiang Jiyun walked to the bed excitedly, gently stroking the sheets, feeling their softness. She then went to the desk and carefully observed the stationery and books. Then, she sat on the restored chair and felt its comfort.

Jiang Wenming looked at Jiang Jiyun's happy expression and said with a smile: "We only have enough money to buy old furniture, but don't worry, we have already repaired these furniture. And we have also asked someone to repair the tiles on the roof, so that it won't leak when it rains. We just moved in not long ago, and I didn't expect you to come so soon. What a coincidence."

Jiang Jiyun nodded with emotion. She knew that their financial situation was not good, and they were very satisfied to have such a warm home.

"Where is Sixth Grandpa?" Jiang Jiyun had been in for such a long time but had not seen Sixth Grandpa Jiang yet.

"He went to the villa area over there. He said that the mother of Mr. Niu, the owner of the spinning mill, had an asthma attack, so she sent someone to invite Uncle Six over. He will be back soon." Jiang Wenming told her because he was afraid that Jiang Jiyun would worry.

"You've only been here for a short time, how come Sixth Grandpa's medical skills have spread out?" Jiang Jiyun asked curiously.

"Captain Li of the Transportation Bureau had a minor illness and was being treated by Uncle Six. He also introduced a leader of the Qing Gang to us. The leader's illness improved in just seven days. He presented Uncle Six with a banner in a grand ceremony, and Uncle Six's reputation spread."

Jiang Jiyun asked curiously, "What disease does he have?"

"That's something you, a kid, can't ask. Let's go downstairs quickly. I heard someone pushing the door open." Jiang Wenming changed the subject a little awkwardly.
