Chapter 274 Buy more candied fruit

"Sister..." Jian Anan said weakly.

"An An, you're awake." Jian Pingping's joy emerged from the bottom of her heart.

Jian Anan's eyes were full of confusion, and he had not yet fully woken up.

Jian Pingping put the medicine on the table, and helped Jian Anan up so that he could lean on the quilt: "Anan, drink the medicine first, you will be fine after drinking it."

Before Jian Anan could react, he was fed a spoonful of bitter medicine. As soon as the medicine entered his mouth, he was about to vomit.

Jian Pingping immediately covered his mouth and soothed him softly, "An An, don't vomit. You will get better after taking the medicine."

I don’t know if An An woke up or got used to the bitter taste of the medicine, but he stopped vomiting. Jian Pingping quickly fed him another spoonful of medicine and then stuffed a candied fruit into his mouth.

In this way, I fed him a few spoonfuls of medicine and stuffed a candied fruit in his mouth. By the time he finished a bowl of medicine, most of the candied fruit had been eaten.

Jian Pingping's face was covered in sweat. She put down the bowl and wiped the sweat from her forehead. It was too tiring to feed people medicine.

Fortunately, Jian Anan fell asleep again after taking the medicine. She looked at the almost finished candied fruit paper bag, pursed her lips, and finally closed the door and went to find Ye Mingzhu again.

Ye Mingzhu was a little surprised when she heard her purpose, but she still took her to knock on Uncle Yan's door.

"Didn't I just hand you a big bag of candied fruits? Isn't that enough?" Uncle Yan looked at Jian Pingping in surprise.

The big bag of candied fruit he just bought can last for at least four or five days. Why does he have to buy more in just a short while?

Jian Pingping explained somewhat awkwardly: "I just fed An An some medicine, and she's almost finished it."

"Uncle Yan, how about you tell me where you bought it and I'll go get it."

"You gave all those candied fruits to An An?" Uncle Yan was speechless as he looked at Jian Pingping's expression. At the same time, a thought popped up in Ye Mingzhu's mind and Uncle Yan's mind: Doesn't this guy have any common sense?

"Pingping, you can't eat so many candied fruits when taking medicine." Ye Mingzhu reminded her: "Just eat two after taking the medicine to cover the taste."

If candied fruit is required for every mouthful of medicine, is it the candied fruit that goes with the medicine, or the medicine that goes with the candied fruit? The key point is that eating so much candied fruit will definitely affect the efficacy of the medicine.

Jian Pingping bit her lower lip, her face full of embarrassment. "I was just thinking about getting An An to drink the medicine as quickly as possible, and I wasn't paying attention for a moment. I definitely won't let him take so much next time."

Ye Mingzhu and Uncle Yan were speechless for a moment. Uncle Yan turned around and said, "I'm going to buy some candied fruit."

Seeing Jian Pingping's bad expression, Ye Mingzhu explained, "Pingping, don't blame me for being nosy. Eating too much candied fruit will affect the efficacy of the medicine."

Jian Pingping smiled bitterly and nodded: "I know, I was just thinking about feeding An An the medicine and forgot for a moment. I will definitely not do it next time."

"Pingping, are you and An'an the only ones going out this time?" Ye Mingzhu felt that Jian Pingping's current state was like that of an eldest lady who had someone taking care of her all year round.

"I have several servants at home, but after my parents passed away, they didn't want to stay, so I decided to release their indentures." Jian Pingping's face looked a little bad, as if he was thinking of something bad.

Ye Mingzhu rephrased what was in her heart: "Pingping, it's still a long way to go to the capital. Is it inconvenient for you and An'an to go alone?"

Jian Pingping forced a smile and said, "Next time the boat stops, I'll go buy someone back."

Ye Mingzhu couldn't say anything more. She waved her hand and said, "You can rest here for a while. Uncle Yan will be back soon."

Jian Pingping had something on her mind and didn't say anything else.

About a quarter of an hour later, Uncle Yan came back with a big bag of candied fruits.

"Although this candied fruit is delicious, you can't eat too much, otherwise it will damage your spleen and stomach." Uncle Yan reminded Jian Pingping as he handed it to her.

"Thank you, Uncle Yan, and Mingzhu. When I get to the city, I will definitely hold a banquet to thank you." Jian Pingping bowed solemnly before leaving.

Ye Mingzhu looked at Jian Pingping's back and shook her head. Life was not easy without parents. She hoped that Jian Pingping could support herself.

Jian Pingping returned to her cabin, looked at the big bag of candied fruits in her hand, and sighed. It seemed that she had to buy a maid. She really couldn't do the job of taking care of others.

"Sister, are you back?" Jane Anan on the bed made a weak voice.

"An An, are you awake?" Jian Pingping went forward in surprise and helped him up.

"Sister, what are you holding?" Jian Anan looked at the big paper bag that Jian Pingping had just put down.

"I just bought some candied fruit. This way, your medicine won't taste bitter." Jian Pingping touched his forehead and asked him, "An An, would you like some water? I'll go get you some."

Jian Anan nodded, and Jian Pingping hurried to pour water.

Jian Anan drank a large glass of water from Jian Pingping's hand, her face full of guilt: "Sister, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have jumped into the sea."

Jian Pingping took his hand and said, "An An, nothing is more important than you. If something happens to you again, how will your sister live?"

The guilt on Jian Anan's face deepened: "I'm sorry, sister, that book was Dad's favorite book. I shouldn't have read it, and now I can't find it, wow..."

Jian Anan burst into tears. Ever since his father passed away, he often held that book with him, which made him feel as if his father was by his side.

"It's okay, it's okay, as long as you're still here." Jian Pingping held Jian An'an in his arms and comforted him: "An'an, nothing is more important than you. Don't be so impulsive in the future."

Jian Anan choked and kept saying sorry.

Jian Pingping pulled him out of his arms, stared into his eyes and said again: "An An, nothing is more important than you. Dad and Mom are gone, we only have each other, you can't let anything happen to us again."

Her expression was so serious that Jian Anan stopped crying. After a while, she nodded and said she understood.

Jian Pingping looked at his cautious expression, afraid of scaring him, and comforted him softly: "An An, you should get some sleep first. You will be fine when you wake up."

Jian Anan was not fully awake to begin with, and after crying for a while, she was a little confused at this time. She lay down obediently and closed her eyes again.

Jian Pingping covered him with a quilt, thinking about what Ye Mingzhu had said to her.

Now that my parents are gone, I am An An's support. If I can't stand on my own, I'm afraid An An's future will not be easy.

This time An An fell into the sea. If it weren't for Ye Mingzhu, I'm afraid An An would not be found, and she would probably not survive.

She also felt a little resentful towards her uncle's family who had never shown up. She was just a weak woman who had never left the house. How could her uncle's family let her take her brother to the provincial capital alone?

If her uncle's family doesn't care about her, how can she and her brother have an easy life in the capital?

She bit her lip and checked the cabin door again before she took out a small box from her carry-on luggage. Seeing that it had a lock on it, she felt a little relieved. Perhaps she should make some changes to the original arrangement.
