As soon as it was light, someone knocked on the gate outside.

Su Jinyue walked forward and opened the door. She saw that the person outside was Guo Ying, "Mrs. Kong."

"Sister-in-law Zhan, I made these steamed buns this morning. Try them. If they're delicious, I'll make more tomorrow." Guo Ying handed the basket to Su Jinyue. Su Jinyue had cured her, and she didn't know how to repay her. She couldn't do anything else, except making these steamed buns.

"Thank you!" Su Jinyue took the basket and stepped aside, "Come in and sit for a while." On her wedding day, Guo Ying did not go to the cafeteria to eat. Mrs. Wang, who lived next door to her, said that it was because Guo Ying's child was not feeling well.

"No, my son is still feeling a little unwell, and I have to go back to take care of him," Guo Ying said. She felt really bad for not being able to go to Su Jinyue's wedding that day. Su Jinyue had helped her so much, but she couldn't even afford a wedding gift.

"What's wrong?" Su Jinyue asked.

"It was just a slight fever, but it's much better now," Guo Ying said, a trace of sadness on her face. The child had been experiencing a high fever for the past few days, and when she went to the hospital, the doctor diagnosed it as pneumonia.

"Wait a moment, I'll go with you to take a look." Su Jinyue turned around and walked back to the yard.

"No need, it's really okay." Guo Ying wanted to call Su Jinyue, but Su Jinyue had already walked in.

Looking at Su Jinyue's back with gratitude, Guo Ying raised her hand and wiped her slightly moist eyes. She was really embarrassed to bother Su Jinyue again. Su Jinyue had already helped her once, so how could she bother her again?

After a while, Su Jinyue came out and handed the empty basket to Guo Ying, "Let's go."

"Sister-in-law Zhan, there's really no need to bother me. I have already prepared the medicine." Guo Ying was really embarrassed to trouble Su Jinyue again.

Su Jinyue smiled and said, "I don't have anything to do anyway, I'll go to your house and have a seat."

"Thank you!" Guo Ying said gratefully. Ever since she came to the military dependents' compound, she had always been looked down upon. Su Jinyue was the first person to treat her well, and she really didn't know how to repay her.

"Sister-in-law Zhan!"

"Sister-in-law Zhan!" Military wives kept greeting Su Jinyue along the way, but they seemed not to notice Guo Ying and the others.

"My family is poor, and I've been in poor health for years, so no one wants to talk to me," Guo Ying said bitterly. She wanted to find a job and be respected, but her health wasn't good enough.

Before she even reached Guo Ying's house, Su Jinyue heard a series of coughs. "Mrs. Kong, does your child have pneumonia?"

"How did you know?" Guo Ying looked at Su Jinyue in surprise. She hadn't told anyone else, only that the child was not feeling well.

"I figured it out from the sound of his cough," Su Jinyue said. Pneumonia patients often have short, sharp coughs.

"Sister-in-law Zhan, you are amazing," Guo Ying said with admiration. When she took her child to the hospital for a checkup, she underwent several tests before she found out that the child had pneumonia.

Guo Ying pushed open the door, and Su Jinyue saw a child of seven or eight years old sitting at the octagonal table, coughing and doing homework.

"Xiaoqi, this is Aunt Zhan, call someone quickly." Guo Ying said to Xiaoqi.

"Aunt Zhan! Cough cough cough..." Xiaoqi called out obediently.

Su Jinyue smiled and nodded. Judging from Xiaoqi's complexion, he must have been ill for several days. Although his condition has improved a little now, it will take about a week for him to recover completely.

"Have you taken the medicine?" Guo Ying asked. Xiaoqi's cough was still severe after taking the medicine, so she asked for two days off from school, hoping he'd get some rest. But the child continued to hunch over a book and find homework every day. She'd told him several times, but it was no use.

Xiao Qi nodded and said, "I've eaten."

Su Jinyue walked over to Xiaoqi and sat down, looking at his homework. His handwriting was very neat, and every stroke was carefully written. "Xiaoqi, why don't you take a good rest when you are sick?"

"I want to finish these two days' homework... cough cough cough... cough cough... I don't want to procrastinate too much..." Xiaoqi didn't stop writing and continued to write seriously.

"Why are you studying so hard?" Su Jinyue asked.

"I want to be a soldier like my dad... cough cough cough... Dad said that only with culture... cough cough cough... can one become an excellent soldier..." Xiao Qi said with a longing look on his face.

Su Jinyue's eyes showed a hint of appreciation. She took out a pill and handed it to Xiaoqi. "Take this pill, and you will stop coughing and be able to study well."

"Ahem...really?" Xiao Qi looked up at the pills in Su Jinyue's hand. He also wanted to get better soon so he could return to school and study with his classmates.

"Yeah." Su Jinyue nodded with a smile.

"Thank you, Aunt Zhan... cough cough cough..." Xiao Qi reached out and took the medicine from Su Jinyue's hand and put it into his mouth.

Guo Ying came out of the kitchen holding a cup of sugar water, "Sister-in-law Zhan, have some sugar water." She had exchanged this sugar with Sister-in-law Zhang for the wedding candies that Su Jinyue had given her last time.

"Thank you!" Su Jinyue took the ceramic cup with a smile.

"I should be the one thanking you. You cured my illness and now you've given me some amazing medicine. I really don't know how to repay you." Guo Ying looked at Su Jinyue gratefully.

Su Jinyue smiled and shook her head, "Are you usually alone at home? Have you ever thought about going out to work?" She could see that their life was very hard.

Guo Ying smiled bitterly, "I went looking for one, but no one wanted me."

"Then what can you do?" Su Jinyue asked.

Guo Ying thought about it and said a little embarrassedly: "I only know how to make steamed buns."
