The sky collapsed, and in the blink of an eye, I found myself transported to Nanluoguxiang.

After the Third Grandfather's figure disappeared, everyone who turned around had a worried look on their faces.

Grandpa's wrinkled face was full of worry as he looked at his two other sons in the yard, wondering how their families would manage in the second half of the year.

Father Li Mingde also frowned. He was thinking that since the village's grain production had decreased, would the monthly food rations in the city also decrease? How could he ensure the food supply for his family and his parents' side?

Seeing the worry on the faces of his elders, Li Kaixin thought that the food he had grown in his secret space would surely provide for his family in about twenty days.

So he cleared his throat, breaking the silence, and said, "Grandpa, Dad, although I've only been a driver for a few days, I've already learned a few things. Buying enough food for our whole family shouldn't be a problem."

Father Li Mingde suddenly looked up, his tone cautious, and asked, "Son, is the connection you've found reliable?"

In his memory, extra food could only be bought at the pigeon market.

Grandpa and his two uncles all looked at Li Kaixin with expectant eyes.

Li Kaixin looked sincere and said, half-jokingly:

"Dad, don't worry. During these trips, the driver introduced me to several leaders at the grain station."

"The grain depot loses grain every day. If we can spare a little bit from it, it will be enough for our family to eat."

Hearing Li Kaixin say this, and considering that a truck driver could indeed have access to some connections, the father visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Uncle San rushed over and excitedly put his arm around Li Kaixin's shoulder.

"Good nephew! You mustn't forget your third uncle's family!"

Li Kaixin pushed away her third uncle's hand, feeling both amused and exasperated.

"Third Uncle, what are you thinking! When I said 'family,' I naturally included both your and Second Uncle's families."

Hearing this, the second uncle, who had been silent all along, finally felt relieved.

Although they guessed that their nephew wouldn't abandon them, hearing the explicit promise still put them at ease.

Grandpa glared at his third uncle, annoyed, and said, "You're a father now, and you're still so impulsive! Look at Kaixin, he's much more composed than you!"

But the words he spoke were noticeably lighter.

Even with his thick skin, Uncle San couldn't help but feel embarrassed by this comparison, and awkwardly scratched his head.

Father Li Mingde and Second Uncle couldn't help but laugh when they saw Third Uncle's embarrassed appearance.

That smile also dispelled the gloom in everyone's hearts, making the atmosphere in the courtyard much more relaxed.

Seeing that the problem had been resolved, and noticing that it was getting late.

Remembering that she had to go to work the next day, Li Kaixin got up to say goodbye to her grandfather and two uncles, and then went to the kitchen to say goodbye to her grandmother.

Grandparents and uncles all wanted Li Kaixin to stay for one night.

Seeing this, Li Mingde, the father, explained, "Kaixin has to go to work first thing tomorrow morning, so we can't delay her."

As he spoke, he took the watch off his wrist and handed it back to his son.

After hearing this, Grandpa, Grandma, and two uncles finally gave up.

Li Kaixin took the watch, said goodbye to the elders, and then turned and left the courtyard.

Shortly after Li Kaixin left.

Mother Qin Xiuli came out of the main room, carrying a long package in her arms. She walked to another table in the courtyard and gently put the package down.

Having just finished their work in the kitchen, my second and third aunts came out and curiously gathered around.

Before they could even ask, their mother, Qin Xiuli, had already deftly untied the package.

Auntie San was the first to see it, and gasped, "My God! So much fabric?"

When Qin Xiuli, the mother, saw her two sisters-in-law arrive, she smiled and said, "There's not much left. After making clothes for my parents and you children, that's all."

The second aunt was taken aback at first, then quickly waved her hand and said, "Sister-in-law, how can you do this! We have no problem with it for our parents, but it's too much of a waste for my two sons!"

Auntie San chimed in, "That's right, that's right! Fabric is so precious these days. You should save it to make clothes for Xiao Kai and the others!"

Seeing that both of them looked repulsed, Qin Xiuli, the mother, deliberately put on a stern face.

"What? Can't I, as the eldest aunt, bring something for my nephews and nieces?"

"Besides, Kaixin brought these back especially so she could take care of her younger siblings. This is a matter of affection between siblings, and we adults can't stop them."

The second and third aunts exchanged a glance, and seeing that their sister-in-law had put it that way, they no longer refused.

Then they turned around and called their children to thank their aunt one by one.

At this moment, Li Kai, the younger brother, and Li Xiaoxiao, the younger sister, standing to the side, could not hide their disappointment.

The mother, Qin Xiuli, also noticed the two children's little mood and gently embraced them.

She gently comforted you, "Don't worry, everything is ready. When we get back to the city, Mom will make it for you herself."

Upon hearing this, smiles finally appeared on the faces of Li Kai, the younger brother, and Li Xiaoxiao, the younger sister.

......

When Li Kaixin returned to the city, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.

Pushing open his front door, Li Kaixin entered the secret realm. (His watch is only synchronized with reality.)

Then, he took out the notebook his master had given him and began to study it carefully.

Perhaps due to his memory, only twenty minutes had passed outside, yet Li Kaixin had thoroughly understood the entire notebook, and his theoretical knowledge had now reached a new level.

Emerging from the secret realm, Li Kaixin noticed it was still early and suddenly remembered the kidney essence herbs he had collected in Changbai Mountain.

Since I had some free time, I thought I might as well go to the pharmacy and get a prescription to try.

Without further ado, Li Kaixin hurriedly headed towards the nearest pharmacy after leaving the courtyard.

When we arrived at the pharmacy, perhaps because it was the weekend, there wasn't a single person there to buy anything.

An elderly gentleman with gray hair and beard saw a young man enter the shop, adjusted his reading glasses, and said, "Young man, are you here to get medicine?"

Li Kaixin approached the counter and said with a smile, "Sir, I'd like to get a prescription filled."

As he spoke, Li Kaixin, drawing on his experience as a national-level physician, named and weighed several medicinal herbs.

The old man muttered to himself as he fetched the medicine.

"Young man, this prescription looks mild, but you must be careful about its medicinal properties."

Li Kaixin nodded and thanked the old man, saying, "Thank you for the reminder, sir. I'll try making one myself."

A short while later.

The old man handed over the wrapped medicine and said to Li Kaixin, "Young man, here you go, it's one yuan and twenty cents in total."

After paying and leaving the pharmacy, Li Kaixin went straight home.

As soon as she entered the kitchen, Li Kaixin got busy, washing the herbs, soaking them, and simmering them over a low flame.

The aroma of medicine gradually filled the entire kitchen.

Time passed by little by little.

Finally, as darkness fell, Li Kaixin found ten pills of varying sizes in his hand.

Although it didn't look very appealing, it was still a success.

Li Kaixin put the pills into the secret realm space and stroked his chin, thinking.

To see how effective the medicine is, we need to find someone to test it. Thinking of this, a sly smile unconsciously crept onto Li Kaixin's lips. He decided to ask Uncle Xie tomorrow if he wanted some.
