After living a new life for my neighbor's grandmother, I traveled through the book again
Chapter 22 Send it Out
After returning to school, Tao Junle immediately found a pen and paper and wrote: "Sister, didn't you say that those two eunuchs were corrupt officials who embezzled money?
Why did you leave so many things for them?】
Tong Jia touched Tao Junle's head and said, "That's right.
But in today's world, it is not easy to survive.
Let's be honest, if we were in each other's shoes, we might not be able to stick to our original intentions all the time.
What's more, if we really took all our things away just now, let's not talk about whether the RV can fit them.
Even if it means destroying someone's livelihood, we can't do that. Do you understand?"
Tao Junle nodded and continued writing: [Sister, there's no room in there anymore, right? Will I still be able to go in and read in the future?]
Tong Jia said, "Of course. But not these few days. I need to find a place to store those things first."
He took those things away because he didn't want them to be lost. As for whether to keep them for himself, Tong Jia hadn't decided yet.
The space in the RV is really limited. If she leaves all her things behind, it will be difficult for her to get in by herself, not to mention bringing Tao Junle in. She is afraid of getting hurt while walking, and afraid of the roof collapsing while sleeping.
However, given the current environment and the course of history she knew would occur in the future, it would be difficult for her to live in the same place for a long time. Even if she found a house or a more secluded place to hide the treasures, she could not guarantee that she would be able to find the hidden things in the original place after the war was over.
Rather than letting an unknown person benefit from it later, it is better to make a "directed donation" now.
Of course everyone loves gold, silver and jewelry, but when it comes to personal safety and quality of life, these things don’t seem that important.
So, Tong Jia pulled Tao Junle into the RV, and while learning antique appreciation from Tao Junle, she weighed whether to keep the items based on their age, value and size.
After three days of study and screening, Tong Jia basically divided the things he collected from the two eunuchs into two parts, one part he kept and the other part he gave away.
The remaining portion only accounts for one-fifth of the total. Apart from five small and very valuable ornaments, the rest are scrolls and paintings that are difficult to preserve and do not take up space.
Although other things need to be given away, they cannot be given too abruptly.
Until Tong Jia can come up with a solution, it will be kept in the RV for the time being.
In the following days, Tong Jia was waiting for a suitable opportunity and using the right reasons to let Gao Chong or the He brothers discover it.
The opportunity soon arrived.
The School of Arts in the school organized an autumn outing and mountain climbing. Pei Yingxue wanted Tong Jia to go with her, so Tong Jia took this opportunity to call Gao Chong as well.
As a result, on the day of departure, not only Gao Chong came, but also the He brothers and Gao's cousin (Yuan Shengnan) came.
As soon as they arrived, they attracted the attention of the entire School of Arts.
It is impossible not to attract everyone's attention, mainly because no one likes mountain climbing so much that they would participate on crutches.
The teacher who organized this event was also worried about accidents, and when he saw that Pei Yingxue was the only one from the School of Arts among their group, he called her aside.
He said, "Student Pei Yingxue, I understand that you want to go out with your friends, but this is an internal event within our School of Arts. You previously said you would only bring two girls from the History and Philosophy departments, and they have also paid the fees. How come there are three more people now?
What's going on with these three people?
Especially the one who uses crutches, if something unexpected happens while climbing the mountain, who will take the responsibility?
I'll give you fifteen minutes, hurry up and persuade them to go back.
If I can't persuade you to go back, then you shouldn't go either."
Pei Yingxue felt very wronged. If the people the teacher was talking about were Tong Jia and Gao Chong, then she would take the blame herself.
But this was the first time I met my cousin Gao Chong who was on crutches.
Will people listen to her?
Feeling aggrieved, he walked over to Tong Jia and was about to say something when he saw the warm smile on his cousin Gao's (Yuan Shengnan) face. The words he wanted to send her back turned into: "Sister, is it really convenient for you to go hiking like this?"
Cousin Gao (Yuan Shengnan) smiled even more broadly and asked, "Did the teacher scold you because of me?"
Pei Yingxue nodded.
Cousin Gao glanced at He Zhishu, and he walked straight towards the teacher.
I don’t know what the two of them said, but in less than two minutes, the teacher, who had a bitter and resentful expression on his face, suddenly smiled.
When He Zhishu returned, Pei Yingxue couldn't wait to ask, "Brother He, what did you say to our teacher? How could he change his expression so quickly?"
He Zhishu said, “I told him that his cousin’s safety is not his responsibility, but that it’s our responsibility. We brothers are just here to keep you company, so he shouldn’t worry too much.
Of course, the most important thing is that there is a gym halfway up the mountain. The owner is my cousin's brother. We can all go there to rest at noon."
"And he agreed?" Pei Yingxue thought of the teacher's sternness just now and still felt it was not credible.
"Agreed." He Zhishu gave another confirming answer.
Pei Yingxue felt even more pitiful in an instant.
Not long after she left, she pulled Tong Jia's sleeve and started sobbing.
Tong Jia hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
Pei Yingxue said, "Jia Jia, why do I feel so stupid? I'm always a burden wherever I go, and I'm so unpopular.
If I hadn't been lucky enough to be reborn, would I have been isolated by others long ago?"
If your family didn't control a quarter of Tianjin's economy, you wouldn't have been raised to be so stupid, naive, and sweet.
But Tong Jia couldn't say this directly.
I had no choice but to persuade her, “You actually have a good personality, but you are too well protected by your family and don’t understand the sufferings of the world.
Think about it, Lele and I work in the library and cafeteria for a month, and our combined salary is only a dozen yuan. We not only have to save money for our future, but also have to make good of our present life.
But these dozen dollars are not enough for you to buy a nice dress.
If I hadn't been like you before, do you think two people with such a huge gap in wealth can really remain friends forever?
Don't cry, don't cry! I don't mean to stop being friends with you.
What I mean is, when my family environment was good, I was a carefree little princess just like you.
Later, the family suddenly encountered misfortune. After both parents were gone, not only did he have to endure the pain of the death of his loved ones, but he also had to face the situation of his younger brother being murdered, his relatives betraying him, and his family property being taken away.
If I hadn't stood up on my own, we might not have had the chance to meet.
So, I understand you.
It is because I understand you and know the reasons for the formation of your character that I want you to become stronger.
Instead of being forced to grow up quickly after encountering something, it is better to change yourself a little bit every day and transform slowly.
What do you think? "
"That makes sense." After listening to Tong Jia's half-true and half-false experience, Pei Yingxue had not yet expressed her opinion, but her cousin Gao (Yuan Shengnan), who had been listening to the conversation between the two, applauded and replied.
Gao Chong stood behind the two of them without knowing when.
After expressing his opinion, Gao Chong pulled Pei Yingxue away before she could express her opinion, leaving only Tong Jia and cousin Gao (Yuan Shengnan) there.
After the two of them walked away, Cousin Gao was the first to speak. "Hello, Tong Jia. My name is Yuan Shengnan. Thank you again for not only saving me but also helping us complete the mission successfully."
Tong Jia looked at Yuan Shengnan and smiled.
He got straight to the point and said, “I think the envelope you left before you left contains your thank you gift.
I didn't expect there would be such a formal way of saying thank you.
If... you don't have any other thoughts, your gratitude is really sincere."
Yuan Shengnan was stunned when she heard this, but then she reacted and said, "Since you guessed that I came to you for more than just to thank you, then I won't use roundabout tactics and will just get straight to the point."
Tong Jia nodded, and Yuan Shengnan continued, "Actually, Gao Chong mentioned to me before that he wanted to develop you into our organization.
But at that time, I had never met you, so I asked He Zhishu and He Zhicheng to go with Gao Chong to get to know you.
The feedback they gave me was that you are a person worth developing.
I was just about to contact you when the previous accident happened.
During the few days I stayed at your place, I was actually observing you and your brother silently.
From my observation of you and your words and actions when teaching your brother, I think you also have a yearning for our organization.
If you are willing, I can be your introducer to our organization.
I don’t know…what do you think?”
What do you think? Of course I am willing.
How can you go to northern Shaanxi if you don’t join?
If we don’t go to northern Shaanxi, how can we find Yang Jixia, how can we avoid long-distance marches, or reduce casualties and losses during long-distance marches.
After receiving Tong Jia's affirmative answer, Yuan Shengnan was very happy. She was ready to strike while the iron was hot and wanted to find a place to sit down and have a good chat with Tong Jia about the organization's discipline.
"Are you so sure that I want to join your organization?" Tong Jia interrupted Yuan Shengnan's speech and asked.
Yuan Shengnan nodded and said, "OK."
For the rest of the time, neither of them went hiking. They just sat there talking, one talking while the other listened, interrupting from time to time to ask questions.
When it was almost time to study, Tong Jia realized that she had almost forgotten her mission to participate in the autumn outing.
Since Yuan Shengnan is here, she might as well change her plans.
The discoverer of this batch of antique treasures changed from Gao Chong to Yuan Shengnan.
Since the two had been sitting and talking, Tong Jia took advantage of the break and said, "I'm a little thirsty. I want to go look for some drinkable water nearby. You... just sit here and wait for me."
Yuan Shengnan repeatedly reminded her to be careful, she smiled and agreed and left.
Estimating the time, the large group from the School of Arts who went hiking should be back soon. Tong Jia did not waste any time and gave up looking for the hidden cave. Instead, he looked for a thick tree.
As he searched, he muttered to himself, "Ah...if it were only summer, it would be easy to find dense trees.
It's autumn now, and even the biggest trees have almost lost their leaves. I can't just go find a pine tree, right?
Why not? Just do it.”
Although Tianjin is located in the north, the natural resources in the mountains are still very diverse.
After setting a goal, Tong Jia quickly found a pine tree that met the requirements on the mountain and heard Pei Yingxue's loud and excited voice.
Hearing the sound getting closer and closer, Tong Jia realized that Pei Yingxue might be the first person to discover it.
While the sound was still far away, Tong Jia took off all the valuables on her body and put them into the RV.
Then, he put all the things that had been prepared in the RV under the pine tree and covered the boxes with a thick layer of leaves.
After doing all this, she walked back and went to find Yuan Shengnan.
Hearing the voices of Pei Yingxue and Gao Chong, Tong Jia took a few steps, turned back, and put the gold, silver and jewelry in the box back into the RV, leaving only the empty box there.
In this way, even if she and Yuan Shengnan came back late and the place was discovered, there would not be any major losses.
Fortunately, until she brought Yuan Shengnan here, no one else had discovered this place.
Yuan Shengnan followed Tong Jia here. After opening a box, she was shocked by the priceless and glittering items inside.
Both of them know the principle of "don't show off your wealth".
Yuan Shengnan, who had difficulty moving, stayed where she was and waited, while Tong Jia quickly went to find Gao Chong and the others.
After finding Gao Chong, Tong Jia told Gao Chong the shapes and specifications of the landmarks built along the way.
Afterwards, it replaced Gao Chong and became the main branch for the pendant "Pei Yingxue" to climb.
As long as Gao Chong and the He brothers find Yuan Shengnan, they will report the matter to their superiors, who will definitely send people to move these things away and cover up the marks that Tong Jia failed to cover up.
No matter how the matter developed later, the moment Yuan Shengnan suggested staying to look at something, it had nothing to do with Tong Jia. She returned to school chatting and laughing with Pei Yingxue all the way.
When she returned to the dormitory, Tao Junle was there too.
Seeing Tong Jia coming back, Tao Junle immediately ran to her and hugged her, as if he had found her again.
Tong Jia let him hold her, and her hands kept stroking Tao Junle's head to soothe him.
With Tong Jia's comfort, Tao Junle's emotions quickly calmed down.
Tong Jia then asked, "Le Le, don't you know what your sister did when she went out? Why are you reacting so strongly?"
Didn't my sister go out for the whole day before? She was fine then, why is she acting so strange today?
Tao Junle didn't want to leave Tong Jia for a moment, so he didn't even bother looking for paper and pen, and started writing directly on Tong Jia's palm.
It turned out that not long after Tong Jia and the others left, a conflict occurred at the mountain where they were going to visit on their autumn outing.
Because all the news was hearsay, Tao Junle was very worried and came back to wait for news.
He also thought about finding someone himself, but his actual situation showed that all he would get was a resume template.
Therefore, he could only patiently review Tong Jia's plan in the dormitory to see if there were any loopholes.
Before the results came out, he received bad news - the war had really started.
