Seeing Gu Xiaoran's swollen little hands, Qiu Yan carried him inside and gently applied medicine to his hands.
"Do you know what to do if you encounter something like this again?"
The child is still young; he/she will need to be taught gradually in the future.
Gu Xiaoran hissed in pain as her hand throbbed: "If you're being bullied, you have to fight back!"
Qiu Yan: "Is that all you remember?"
Gu Xiaoran: "When encountering enemies, one cannot be soft-hearted."
Qiu Yan: "Anything else?"
Gu Xiaoran: "If a slingshot hits your eye, you'll go blind; if it hits your head, you'll die."
The next morning, before starting work, Sun Yuan and his wife each took their daughters, Zhao Chunhua and Zhao Qiuyue, to the Qiu family's house, and then went to the medicinal herb field.
Qiu Yan heard the sound of the courtyard gate and stepped out of the house.
Upon seeing the two girls, Gu Xiaoran stayed in her room and did not come out to greet them.
"Sister Qiu." The two little girls were still timid.
Qiu Yan first looked at Zhao Chunhua and asked:
"Are your eyes any better?"
"I still can't see clearly." Zhao Chunhua shook her head. "Sister Qiu, am I going to go blind?"
"No, your eyes will get better." Qiu Yan checked Zhao Chunhua's eyes repeatedly and applied a cold compress to them again.
During the cold compress treatment, Qiu Yan looked at the two of them and said softly:
"Spring flowers and autumn moon, our Xiao Ran, although his biological mother is not by his side, does not mean that he has no mother."
You two shouldn't have said those things in front of Xiaoran yesterday.
From now on, remember what you should say and what you shouldn't say?
These two learned their lesson from their words, so Qiu Yan only reminded them not to gossip in front of Xiao Ran again.
Faced with Qiu Yan's suddenly stern tone, Chunhua and Qiuyue felt a pang of regret.
They nodded at the same time, "We understand."
"Remember what you said."
The two girls nodded in unison.
After applying dressings and changing the dressings for Zhao Chunhua's eyes, Qiu Yan immediately changed the dressings for Zhao Qiuyue.
She remained silent throughout the entire process.
After she applied the ointment to both of them, Chunhua and Qiuyue walked towards the room where Gu Xiaoran was.
Upon seeing the two of them, Gu Xiaoran kept a cold expression and remained silent.
Zhao Chunhua took the initiative to approach Gu Xiaoran: "Xiaoran, I'm sorry, we shouldn't have said those things yesterday."
Gu Xiaoran remained silent.
"Xiao Ran, what happened to your hand?"
As Zhao Chunhua spoke, she reached out to stroke Gu Xiaoran's reddened palm.
Gu Xiaoran quickly withdrew her hand, "My hand is fine."
Zhao Qiuyue rummaged through her pockets for a while, turning them over and over, and finally found two peanuts. "Here, have some."
Peanuts were the best thing she could offer.
She usually doesn't dare to eat.
Seeing that Gu Xiaoran refused to take it, she put the peanuts on the table.
"Xiao Ran, your mother loves you very much. In my eyes, she is the best mother. I'm sorry, please don't be angry."
It has to be said that Zhao Qiuyue's words really struck a chord with Gu Xiaoran.
Gu Xiaoran's lips began to curl upwards. He glanced at Qiu Yan standing outside the courtyard, then looked at the two little girls, especially at the thick bandages on their faces. Finally, he spoke.
"I was wrong too."
Just like last time, Qiu Yan wasn't in a hurry to go to Baiyang when she returned to the village this time.
Once the herbs had been mostly harvested, she had them dried in the sun.
Then, while fertilizing the newly cleared wasteland and planting suitable medicinal herbs such as white peony and peony, she instructed Zhao Qiufeng and others to start processing the herbs.
