Lin Guowen wanted to keep all the gifts, but the guard insisted that he take them away, "Mr. Lin, if you don't want them, donate them to someone in need. Our old chief won't accept gifts from strangers for nothing."
Lin Guowen awkwardly took the gifts and left.

After Yuan Chun finished making a batch of pills, she put them in a bottle, stored more than half in her space, and gave the rest to Grandpa Cao, "These are for asthma. During the windy seasons of spring and autumn when there's a lot of pollen, take one a day to prevent asthma attacks."
Grandpa Cao didn't have asthma, but several of his old buddies, or their spouses, did, and they would have attacks during the windy pollen-heavy seasons.
Grandpa Cao happily took a dozen or so small bottles and said, "These meds, we can't give them to those old guys for free. Grandpa will have them send you return gifts."
"Grandpa, it's just a few pills, consider it my respect as a junior to them."
