When I woke up in the morning, Gu Mingjing was gone.

Jianshu stayed in bed for a while before getting up to fill his stomach.

When I came to the study and opened the lid of the pot, I saw the seafood porridge that I hadn’t finished eating last night. There were also sour beans on the side, which was the perfect pairing with the porridge.

There was a basin on the table next to him with squid soaking in it. Jianshu took a look and saw that it had been soaking overnight and was almost swollen.

The meat for making braised pork with dried squid has also been bought. In addition, Gu Mingjing also bought a large bone stick with a little meat left on it. I wonder if the butcher was lazy today.

The pork is finally cooked. The big bones are kept for now and can be made into braised pork bones later. The remaining soup can be used to mix noodles.

Jianshu didn't bring the porridge to the table. He stood in the kitchen with the bowl in his hand and quickly finished his breakfast.

After dinner, Jianshu took a chair and sat in the yard, knitting a sweater while basking in the sun.

The morning sun is not that strong, it feels warm and very comfortable.

The sweater in her hand is about to be finished. After finishing it, Jianshu plans to knit a pair of woolen trousers for Gu Mingjing. Anyway, there is no shortage of wool at home, so she can buy him a full set of equipment.

Humming a song and moving his hands non-stop, it was soon time to finish.

Mission accomplished!

After finishing, Jianshu put down the sweater yarn in his hand and was about to get up to stretch his hands and feet when he heard a knock on the door.

"Knock, knock, knock—" The sound was filled with an unconcealable urgency, and at the same time came Wu Xiufang's anxious voice, "Sister Shu, Sister Shu, are you home?"

Jian Shu's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. What was going on? Wu Xiufang was always calm and composed, and it was rare to see her like this.

He quickly ran to the door, and when he opened it, he saw Wu Xiufang standing at the door holding Tiedan's hand. "Sister-in-law, what happened? Don't be anxious, tell me slowly."

"Sister Shu, Yaya's stomachache is getting worse. I have to take her to the hospital right away. Lao Zhao has gone to work, and the two older kids have gone to school. There's no one at home. I'm worried about Tiedan being home alone, so I'd like to trouble you to help look after him. I'll be back as soon as I take Yaya to the hospital." Wu Xiufang looked anxious, but she spoke clearly and quickly explained what happened.

"Yaya's stomach hurts more?" Jianshu didn't expect that the child's condition would be even worse today just after she mentioned it to Gu Mingjing yesterday. She felt a little worried for a moment.

"Yes, she was fine when she woke up this morning, but the pain has gotten worse just now. The child was crying in pain. It's my fault that I didn't listen to you and take her to the hospital later, which is why she suffered like this." Thinking of her daughter crying in pain, Wu Xiufang's words were full of regret.

Seeing her like this, Jianshu couldn't say anything to blame her. The child was in pain, and the one who felt the most distressed was definitely not her as an outsider, but Wu Xiufang as her mother.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry. Yaya will be fine. Take Yaya to the hospital quickly. Just leave Tiedan with me. I'll take care of her for you. You can come and pick her up when Yaya gets better. Don't worry. The child's health is the most important thing. Go and have a thorough check-up this time to see what the problem is. Come back after it's completely resolved. Don't worry about home. I'll take care of her for you." Jianshu comforted her quickly.

Wu Xiufang was immediately grateful. "Well, thank you for your help. I know all this. I will definitely come back after I am cured."

After saying that, she pushed Tiedan towards Jianshu and hurriedly said, "Tiedan, you must be good and obedient at your aunt's house. I will pick you up when your mother comes back." She turned around and prepared to leave.

Jian Shu quickly called her over and pretended to take out a handful of money from his pocket, "Sister-in-law, wait a minute, take this money with you."

"No, I have money!" Wu Xiufang waved her hand and refused. She had already troubled him enough, why would she ask for money?

"Take it with you! Yaya doesn't know what's going on yet, and doesn't know how much it will cost. It won't hurt to take more. If you can't use it, just return it to me. Don't be embarrassed if you can use it. Children are the most important. Use it when you need it, and you can return it slowly later." Jianshu still stuffed it into her hands.

When you are out and about, especially when you need to see a doctor, it definitely doesn’t hurt to bring some extra money with you.

"Okay, that's fine. Thank you so much!" Wu Xiufang was so moved that she didn't know how to express her gratitude.

She secretly swore in her heart that from today on, Jianshu would be her real sister, the closest one to her.

"Sister-in-law, please go quickly. Is there anyone to take you there? Don't delay the child's medical treatment." This was not the time to be polite, Jianshu urged people to leave quickly.

"Then I'll be leaving first. Don't worry, I've got someone to help me. There's a car waiting at the door." Wu Xiufang rubbed Tiedan's head and said, "Be good at your aunt's house. Don't act naughty and don't bother your uncle and aunt. If mother doesn't come back in time to pick you up, wait for your brother and the others to come back and go home with them."

After giving the instructions, Wu Xiufang ran away in a hurry.

Tiedan no longer had the fighting spirit he used to have. He looked like a frightened little animal. Jianshu was the only person close to him. He clung tightly to her legs and looked in the direction his mother left.

Jian Shu patted his head and said soothingly, "Don't worry, Tiedan, your sister will be fine."

"Really? She was in so much pain that she cried." As Tiedan spoke, his eyes turned red.

He and Yaya were close in age, and had been inseparable since birth. Although they grew up and had their own playmates, and often bickered and quarreled, their bond remained close.

"Really, Yaya is just feeling a little uncomfortable for the time being, and she will definitely be fine soon." Jianshu didn't know the specific situation, but at this time, he could only think positively and say positive things to comfort the frightened child.

After spending these few months together, Tiedan has developed a high level of trust in Jianshu. Hearing her say this, he gradually felt a lot more at ease.

Jianshu took him into the yard, made him a cup of milk, and gave him some snacks and candies.

But Tiedan was still staring at the door absentmindedly, hoping that the familiar figure would appear in front of him.

He tried to comfort him, but for the time being, Jianshu had no other choice but to take out marbles and play games with him to divert his attention.

But the effect was not ideal. After playing for a while, Tiedan lost interest and continued to lie on the chair, staring at the door.

Jianshu was really at a loss now. Seeing that he was not crying or making a fuss except guarding the door, he sighed and could only let him go.

Although the child is young, she is very mature. Unless Wu Xiufang brings Yaya back safely, she will definitely be worried.

No matter how much others say, it’s useless.
