Gu Qingqing quickly followed Yu Yang inside, put the bowl on the table, and followed the little kid into the house. When she saw Bai Tao lying motionless on the ground, she became anxious.

"Sister Taozi?" She quickly helped the person up, letting him lean against her, and whispered, "Sister Taozi, I'm Qingqing, what happened to you?"

Seeing her eyes tightly shut, Gu Qingqing turned to Yu Yang and said, "Xiaoyang, go to the sanitation center and call your uncle Zhao!"

Five-year-old Yu Yang wiped his tears, nodded, and ran faster than a rabbit.

She couldn't move Bai Tao, and she didn't dare to move.

After all, Sister Taozi now has two bodies, and she didn’t know if this would hurt her. She could only pull a quilt from the bed next to her, cover herself with it, and wait for Zhao Ze to come over.

Zhao Ze came quickly, carrying a medicine box on his back.

"Brother Zhao." Gu Qingqing looked at him somewhat at a loss.

Zhao Ze squatted down and said in a soothing voice: "It's okay, sister, you did the right thing, you can't move casually."

After saying that, he lifted up Bai Tao's eyelids and looked at her eyeballs, then shook his head: "Don't worry, I'm just anxious."

Gu Qingqing nodded, "Brother Zhao, can you please wake her up first? I'm panicking."

He took out a cowhide roll from the medicine box, and unfolded it to reveal silver needles of varying lengths. Zhao Ze brushed the needles with his fingers and took one out: "Sister, I'll just give her an injection, and you continue to support her."

She nodded repeatedly and let the paralyzed Bai Tao lean on her.

After two injections, Bai Tao woke up slowly.

Seeing his mother move, Yu Yang finally couldn't hold back his tears and burst into tears. After all, she was just a five-year-old child. She was scared just now, let alone Yu Yang.

Gu Qingqing was still frightened, and together with Zhao Ze, she carried Bai Tao to the bed, shook off the dust on the quilt and covered her with it again.

Bai Tao's head was like paste, sticky and messy. The baby's crying gave her a headache and her tears could not stop flowing.

Gu Qingqing quickly hugged Yu Yang and coaxed him softly, letting his tears wet her clothes, and gently comforted him: "Don't be afraid, Xiaoyang, your mother is fine, be good and don't be afraid."

Yu Yang was still sobbing as he looked at the woman on the bed, his voice becoming quieter.

Gu Qingqing took out a White Rabbit candy from her pocket and stuffed it into his mouth: "Be good, it's okay."

With her gentle comfort, Yu Yang finally stopped crying, ran to the bed, grabbed the sheets with his hands, bit a candy in his mouth, and looked at his mother with tears in his eyes.

Zhao Ze put away the needle and closed the medical box: "Sister Qingqing, go get a glass of water for my sister-in-law to moisten her throat."

"Hey!" Gu Qingqing hurried to the kitchen. When she picked up the thermos, she found that her hands were shaking a little. She poured water into the thermos, then covered her chest with her hands, her heart beating fast.

Back in the bedroom, Bai Tao also completely sobered up, hugged Yu Yang beside the bed and sobbed softly. Zhao Ze consciously retreated to the door, and when he saw Gu Qingqing coming, he said, "Sister, you take care of this place, sister-in-law is fine. I'll go call Captain Yu back."

Gu Qingqing nodded, "Brother Zhao, go and do your work." She just happened to have a lot of questions to ask Bai Tao.

After Zhao Ze's footsteps left the yard, Gu Qingqing walked to the bed with boiled water, blew on it a few times, and then handed it to Bai Tao, who was wiping her tears.

She sighed, "Sister Taozi, what's going on?"

Bai Tao took out a few candies that Gu Qingqing had given her before from the drawer beside her and stuffed them into Yu Yang's mouth, asking him to go out and play: "Mom is fine. I want to eat braised crabs tonight. Can you go find Brother Ata and go to the beach to catch crabs together?"

Yu Yang nodded with tears in his eyes, put the candy in his pocket, and rubbed Gu Qingqing's legs, "Xiao Yang thanks Auntie! Xiao Yang brought crabs for Auntie."

"Okay." Gu Qingqing ruffled his hair, waited for him to leave, sat down on the bed and said to Bai Tao, "This kid wiped his snot all over my trouser legs."

Bai Tao knew that she was trying to make herself feel better, so she shook her head.

"Qingqing, I'm not hiding it from you. Because I quit my job and didn't tell my instructor to let Yu Ruan take over my class, Yu Ruan had a big fight with me when I came back and even complained to her brother."

"What did Captain Yu say?" Gu Qingqing's slender eyebrows were almost twisted into a ball.

"He also asked me why I didn't tell the instructor that I wanted Yu Ruan to take my class, so that she could be a teacher and find a good husband." Bai Tao's voice was broken, and she forced a smile: "Yu Ruan heard from somewhere that the instructor wanted to introduce Chen Jiefang to her, but the man didn't want to."

In case Gu Qingqing didn't know, she added: "It's Chen Jiefang from your Construction Corps."

Gu Qingqing felt a little guilty. She asked Bai Tao, "You fainted after a big fight with her? Where is she?"

"I left a long time ago. We had a quarrel at home. I felt a little pain in my chest at that time, and then I suddenly lost consciousness."

Bai Tao smiled sarcastically: "She probably went to the army wives' group to find out if there are any suitable men in the army."

Gu Qingqing moved her mouth and wanted to say something, but when she thought of Xu Nian's words, she held back her words.

Sister Anian said, stay out of Bai Tao’s family affairs.

She remembers it all.

After talking to Bai Tao for a while, her tone gradually calmed down. Gu Qingqing knew that she was fine and breathed a sigh of relief.

Yu Cheng also came back with Yu Ruan. Listening to her asking about Bai Tao's well-being, Gu Qingqing frowned and felt hypocritical and irritated.

"Teacher Gu." Yu Cheng said, "Thank you so much, otherwise I can't imagine Xiaotao being alone at home..."

Gu Qingqing interrupted him, "Captain Yu, it was Xiaoyang who called me in. It was your son and military doctor Zhao who saved Sister Taozi. She is pregnant now. How could you make her so angry?"

Instead of asking Cheng to explain, she said to Bai Tao directly, "Sister Tao, I have something else to do at home so I'll go back first. You should take good care of yourself. I'll come to see you later."

Seeing Yu Ruan's hypocritical face and Yu Cheng's indifference, she felt upset and just wanted to go home quickly.

"Okay." Bai Tao didn't want to keep her, knowing that she didn't like her family, and said simply: "I'll come to see you next time."

"Yeah." Gu Qingqing left the Yu family's yard in a troubled mood, breathed in the fresh air outside, and slowly exhaled the foul air in her chest.

On the way back, she felt upset and her face was not very good. A military wife wanted to say hello to her, but she saw that the words were stuck in her throat and she didn't say anything.

"Squeak--" he pushed open the door of his own yard.

Seeing a pile of wood sawn into different sizes in the yard, she looked up and saw Chu Dai, feeling a little aggrieved.

"Brother." She said in a soft voice.

Chu Dai was sawing wood, and Shen Sui used a ruler and ink to mark the distance for him.

Hearing her voice, Chu Dai put down his saw and walked over. Seeing her slightly red eyes, he didn't care that Shen Sui was still there, and directly hugged her in his arms and coaxed her softly: "What's wrong, wife?"

"It's okay." Gu Qingqing felt relieved when she lay on his chest. "I just went to Sister Taozi's house to deliver pickled vegetables, and she fainted."

Chu Dai was stunned for a moment, and gently stroked the woman's back with his palm, "Has Zhao Ze gone?"

"Well, Brother Zhao said it was a case of anger attack, but he has woken up and is fine now."

"That's good." Chu Dai kissed her forehead: "Are you scared?" He did not ask for the specific reason. He did not care much about other people's affairs, and it was not appropriate to ask about such family matters.

Gu Qingqing almost burst into tears when she heard his gentle words. She hugged Chu Dai tightly, feeling the warmth from his body, and shook her head in his arms.

A pale hand stretched out from the side. The arm was very thin. Gu Qingqing felt that her wrist was thicker than his when she was ten years old.

Shen Sui had three White Rabbit milk candies in his hand, which were given to him by Chu Dai.

The boy, who had never eaten candy before, gave all to Gu Qingqing without hesitation.

"Sister, eat."

Gu Qingqing finally couldn't hold it in anymore and sobbed softly in Chu Dai's arms.

She is still afraid now. What if something happens to Sister Taozi? What if something happens to the baby in her belly?

Gu Qingqing didn't dare to think about it. Just now at Yu's house, because Chu Dai was not there, she had been pretending to be calm, but now she couldn't control herself at all.

Chu Dai felt as if a needle was stabbing his heart when he heard her soft crying. He lowered his head and closed his eyes reluctantly, resting his chin on her head: "It's okay, it's okay."

Shen Sui still stretched out his hand, with three candies lying quietly in his small palm. When he heard Gu Qingqing crying, a trace of heartache flashed across the depths of his dark pupils.

But he didn't know how to comfort his sister and make her happy.

His eyes became increasingly dim, and there was even a hint of pain.

The two adults and one child stood there for two minutes. Gu Qingqing wiped her tears on the man's shoulder, and then she realized that Shen Sui was still holding out his hands, looking down at his toes, without saying a word.

After finally getting closer, she was afraid that Shen Sui would shut her off again, so she quickly got out of the man's arms, took the candy from his hand, ate one herself, peeled another and put it to Chu Dai's lips, and finally fed him the last one.

"Don't be sad, A'sui. I'm fine." Gu Qingqing coaxed softly, her voice still carrying the sound of tears. "I'll make you some boiled shrimp tonight, okay?"

Shen Sui looked at his wrist in front of him, finally raised his head, nodded slightly, and then looked at her.

Chu Dai rubbed his head, took the candy that Gu Qingqing had peeled and stuffed it directly into the boy's mouth, while he bit the candy himself: "I gave you three and you didn't even know to keep them for yourself. But since you still care about your sister, I'll give you another one later."

"Wife, go wash your face first. I'll take this kid to the beach to catch shrimps later." Chu Dai rubbed Gu Qingqing's hairy head again.

She was a little dissatisfied: "I'm not a child!"

Hearing her powerful roar, Chu Dai felt relieved and nodded perfunctorily, "I'll pay attention next time, Teacher Gu."

Seeing her angrily enter the yard, Chu Dai picked up the saw again and returned to the wood. The man rolled up his shirt sleeves twice, revealing a white and thin wrist.

It was the boy’s first time eating candy, and he was not quite used to it. The sweetness of the candy spread in his mouth, and there was some confusion and bewilderment in his gloomy eyes.

This is... sweet?

After a while, the woman came out with another piece of black cloth and said to Chu Dai, "I'll ask Xiao Huanniang to make two sets of clothes for Ah Sui. You two don't have to go catch shrimps. Set up the shed at home, and my nephew will bring some seafood over later." She knew Shen Sui's size when she was altering men's clothes for him two days ago. This child is really too thin.

"Okay." Chu Dai held the ink-soaked brush in his mouth and glanced at the boy standing beside him: "Don't just stand there, help your brother-in-law."
