After arriving at the Gu family, Da Niu went to the front yard to pay a visit to County Magistrate Gu, and Tian An went to the back yard to visit Mrs. Gu.
As Tian An arrived outside the hall with his backpack on his back, he heard Gu Jinyan's worried voice: "Mom, what should we do if you can't eat?"
"Sister Jinyan, look what delicious food An An brought you." Tian An said as soon as he entered the door.
Gu Jinyan heard the sound and turned around, just in time to see Tian An put the backpack on the ground.
Smiling, he stepped forward and said, "An An, what delicious food did you bring me?"
Tian An pointed to the backpack, removed the leaves from it, took out a bunch of grapes, handed it to Gu Jinyan and said:
"Didn't you say last time that nothing tasted good to me? I can't eat watermelon, but I can eat these grapes.
Unfortunately, the grapes are not yet ripe, so these were picked out after searching all the fields.
I thought grapes, being sweet and sour, would whet your appetite, so I sent them over."
Then he looked at Madam Gu and said, "Aunt, you can try it first. If it tastes good, An An will send you some more in a few days when the crops in the fields are ripe."
Gu Jinyan first instructed the maid to serve tea to Tian An and then had someone take the grapes down, wash them and send them over.
The weather was getting hotter, and her mother's appetite was getting smaller and smaller. And she was pregnant! How could she bear this? She had been so anxious these days, hoping that grapes could really help her appetite.
Mrs. Gu was moved when she saw Tian An carrying the grapes over by herself and said, "It's so hot, it's rare that you still remember your aunt and bring them over so eagerly.
You too, this thing is so heavy! Why did you carry it by yourself? Sit down and take a rest first."
After sitting down, Tian An drank some tea and then took out a handkerchief from his bag to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
After taking a breath, he said, "Brother Yiming carried them all. I just carried them from the door to here. It wasn't hard."
After Gu Jinyan finished explaining the situation, she turned around and said, "You have quite a few servants in your family! Why do you still do everything yourself?"
Tian An explained, "There are only three of us in my family, Chunxi and the others, and they are all busy with their work! The others are farmhands and also busy with work in the fields."
As soon as Tian An mentioned Gu Jinyan, she thought of her family's long-term workers, and she also contributed to it! She also helped buy the servants.
Moreover, Tian An's family has to take care of the family, the farm and the business, so they really don't have enough manpower.
"Just buy some more people!" Gu Jinyan suggested.
Tian An shook his head and said, "It costs money to hire people! It also consumes food. Besides, I still owe Uncle Gu 600 taels! I did what I could do myself.
I have to save the money to pay off debts and buy land, shops, etc., and then make more money when I am really too busy to handle it."
After thinking for a while, he said, "Aunt, I owe you six hundred taels. I'll come back to pay you back in two months after I sell the watermelons and grapes."
A pregnant woman's maternal love is the most overflowing. Seeing Tian An working so hard and being so sensible, Mrs. Gu felt distressed. This girl is not even as old as her own daughter! She can already stand on her own.
"Don't worry, you can pay it back slowly."
She also remembered that last time her daughter came back from Tian An's house, she asked her to help inquire about the Zhang family's shop.
"Oh! By the way, I heard from Jinyan that An An wants to buy the Zhang family's shop. Do you have the money ready? If it's not enough, your aunt has some here and can lend it to you first." Mrs. Gu said.
Finally getting to the point, Tian An said seriously, "I've prepared a thousand taels, but I'm not sure if it's enough. If not, just wait a few more days. I should be able to sell the watermelons and have enough. But I can't borrow from your aunt anymore."
Madam Gu, thinking about the information her servants had heard before, estimated that one thousand taels should be enough.
"One thousand taels should be enough. Do you need the shop urgently? If so, I'll send someone to help you today."
Tian An was not in a hurry, but she felt it would be better to buy the shop as soon as possible to avoid any complications.
I thought one thing in my heart, but I still said, "Today? Is time tight? It's too much trouble for auntie."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Gu knew what Tian An was thinking, and immediately asked someone to find the housekeeper to handle the matter.
"An An, the shop transfer requires signatures and fingerprints. Is it you or your brother Yi Ming who should go?"
He then reminded her, "Whoever goes will have his name written on it."
Tian An thought for a while and said, "Let Brother Yiming go! He knows more about clerical matters."
She didn't know what kind of magic potion Danniu had given her, but she just believed in Danniu.
Mrs. Gu reminded him, but seeing that Tian An still insisted, she asked the housekeeper to go to the front yard to find Zhao Yiming.
At this time, the maid brought the grapes.
Mrs. Gu looked at the crystal clear grapes with water droplets on them, and her depressed mood improved a lot.
Reach out and pick one, gently peel off the thin skin, and the unique fruity aroma of the grape will hit your nose, whetting your appetite.
Put it in your mouth and take a bite, the juice will flow out along your teeth, the sour and sweet taste will linger on your lips and teeth.
Mrs. Gu peeled the skin and ate it herself, and before she knew it, she had eaten several. Her love for it was obvious.
Seeing this, Gu Jinyan breathed a sigh of relief: "An An has solved my urgent problem!"
Tian An just said: "As long as Auntie likes it."
After hearing the two people talking, Mrs. Gu came to her senses and found that there was a small pile of grape skins on her table.
She took the wet handkerchief handed over by the maid, cleaned her hands, and then said, "The grapes An An sent over are big, plump, juicy and delicious. I accidentally ate a few more. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."
Tian An thought that Daniu had gone to buy a shop and wouldn't be back for a while, so he had nothing to do anyway, so he decided to give Mrs. Gu a simple prenatal check-up.
"Aunt, do you mind letting me see your little brother?" Tian An said.
Mrs. Gu was stunned when she heard this: "Little brother? Are you saying that the baby in my belly is a boy?"
Gu Jinyan also said in disbelief: "An An, your medical skills are too good! You can even see this!"
Then, with a tone of disregarding the natural gift, he said, "Then why are you still farming? It would be much better to just open a clinic and become a doctor!"
Madam Gu pointed at Gu Jinyan and said sternly, "Girl, don't give An An the wrong directions. Life is hard for women in this world, let alone being a doctor. You can't even imagine the hardships involved. Don't hurt An An."
In fact, Tian An has been in this world for so long, but he has never thought about becoming a doctor. What Mrs. Gu said is one of the reasons.
Another thing is that my body is too young and I have no reputation as a doctor, so no one would believe me if I were to practice medicine!
After getting Mrs. Gu's consent, Tian An took her hand and began to feel her pulse. In fact, he activated the space detection function.
After getting the test results, Tian An made a judgment based on Mrs. Gu's pregnancy period and finally told her the conclusion.
"The child is fine. Auntie, please pay a little attention to your diet and eat more red meat, fresh vegetables, fruits, etc."
Then he told them a lot of things to pay attention to.
After these two times, Mrs. Gu still trusted Tian An very much. She wrote down everything Tian An said carefully and asked the nanny to write it down as well, to remind herself at all times.
As they talked, time slipped away quietly.
