Gu Sinian had just run back and caught his breath in the yard. As he was about to go inside, he heard the child's soft, sweet voice outside the door.
He is indeed younger than his brother, but his family situation is too special...
He didn't know how to explain it to his son.
The child is still young; let's wait until they're a little older before changing how they address you. Right now, they're at an age where they're very serious.
No matter how much you say, subconsciously he's already decided to call the younger brother "brother," not "uncle."
Let's talk about it again at 1 PM.
No matter how much you say, he won't listen when he's at an age where he can't even control his bodily functions.
There's no need to correct it.
“My son is right. He understands it quite well: boys younger than him are called ‘little brother,’ and girls younger than him are called ‘little sister.’”
Gu Lichen nodded his little head. "That's right. Yaya is a girl and older than me, so I have to call her 'older sister.' My parents taught me all of this, and I remember it perfectly."
Su Ying wanted to say something more, but Du Yunying interrupted her, "You're a mother now, and you're still so serious. The child is only three years old, what does he know? Wait until he's older before talking to him about these things. It's too early to talk about these things now."
Gu Sinian nodded. "Exactly."
Gu Lichen was overjoyed to see his father return, his little mouth revealing eight teeth in a sweet smile.
"Daddy, I want to ride a big horse."
Gu Sinian squatted down. "No. Dad has something to talk to your mother about when he gets back today. I have to go out again in a bit. I have seven minutes left."
Su Ying walked over. "What's wrong?"
“An earthquake struck the neighboring Qingshui River, and a mudslide from the mountain buried nearly half of the village’s population. We were ordered to leave immediately. I was afraid you would worry too much, so I ran back to tell you. I have to go right away.”
"Aren't you going to eat? Grandpa and Grandma are still cooking."
"I can't eat anymore, time is of the essence."
"Then come in with me, I'll get you some medicine."
Gu Sinian did not refuse. The medicine made by his young wife was incredibly effective. Several prescriptions were donated to the military hospital free of charge, earning widespread praise.
The higher-ups also gave them a banner and a bonus.
My wife has been spending her free time researching pills in her space lately, and she should have some research results soon.
As soon as the two entered the room, Su Ying led Gu Sinian into the space and headed straight for the pharmacy.
What medicine do you need?
Gu Sinian thought for a moment. The earthquake in Qingshuihe had buried many people, so there should be a lot of hemostatic pills and medicine for sprains and bruises.
"Let's take the most common medicine."
Su Ying was speechless. The most common medicines were already provided by the military hospital, so why did Gu Sinian need to bring them over?
She walked over to the table with bottles and jars, and picked up a bottle of nitroglycerin and an anti-inflammatory drug.
"You should be able to use these two."
"What kind of medicine is this?"
"Heart-saving pills and anti-inflammatory drugs, but the ingredients for these two medicines are extremely hard to find. I searched for a long time before I finally found all the ingredients and made two small bottles. They can only be used as a last resort."
"Okay. I know what this anti-inflammatory medicine is for, but what's the use of this heart-saving pill?"
"If a person is on the verge of death, taking a nitroglycerin pill can prolong their life for two hours, giving doctors time to save them."
Gu Sinian examined the bottle from all angles, then opened the cap and smelled it. "Such a strong medicinal smell."
The effects the young woman described were really tempting. "Can these medicines be mass-produced?"
"No. The medicinal herbs are too precious and expensive. It cost me a lot of money to make this small bottle of medicine, so mass production is impossible."
Gu Sinian looked very disappointed, and Su Ying reminded him, "You don't have much time left, hurry up and go to the assembly."
"It's alright. My father-in-law will help. They'll leave first, and I'll find a way to catch up with them."
The reason his father-in-law asked him to come home was probably because he wanted to get some medicine from his young wife.
After all, the young wife's medicine was really effective.
Don't be fooled by my father-in-law's righteous appearance; he's a cunning old fox in private.
Seeing that Gu Sinian didn't seem worried at all, Su Ying ran to the snack section, where she had stocked up on many snacks, including many very filling items.
She picked up quite a few, and in no time a small cloth bag was full.
Gu Sinian hugged her from behind, "I really want to take you there, so that we won't feel so helpless when we need something."
These words woke her up. Anyway, she was bored at home, and Gu Lichen was not a child anymore and could sleep alone.
She figured that leaving for a while wouldn't be a problem, and a very bold idea suddenly came to her mind.
"Gu Sinian, please take me with you this time. I have good medical skills and might be able to help."
Gu Sinian refused without even thinking, "No way. It's too dangerous. That's an earthquake, no joke."
"But I'm worried about you. Earthquakes are dangerous, and a lot of supplies are needed. I have quite a few supplies in my space, which can be life-saving if necessary. Take me with you, and I will stay close to you and never leave your side. There will be no danger."
Gu Sinian frowned, but was still persuaded by Su Ying. A small mountain village surrounded by mountains, plus the mudslide, was really dangerous.
Even if they arrived early, they couldn't save lives due to insufficient supplies.
Watching others leave is more painful than killing them.
Seeing that Gu Sinian's expression softened slightly, Su Ying continued.
“I have plenty of supplies in my space. Qingshuihe is in such a difficult and tragic situation right now. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. I am doing this to accumulate blessings for our daughter, hoping that she can return to us soon.”
Gu Sinian was completely persuaded, and he was actually also collecting resources from his wife's space.
Having participated in so many rescues, no one understands the harsh realities of rescue scenes better than him.
“I can take you there, but you can’t act on your own; you must stay by my side.”
"good."
After the two left the space, Su Ying and Du Yunying exchanged a few words before hurriedly following Gu Sinian out of the courtyard.
Gu Lichen thought his parents had gone out to play without him, so he cried very sadly. His short legs kept running, but he couldn't catch up with the two adults. He fell down in the yard and cried his heart out.
"Mom and Dad, where are you going? I want to go too! You two are such bad guys, going out to play without taking Chenchen with you! I'm going to tell Great-Grandpa and Great-Grandma!"
Gu Huadong and Yan Yan were busy steaming eggs for their great-grandson in the kitchen when they unexpectedly heard their great-grandson crying intermittently.
The two rushed out and found Gu Lichen crying his eyes out in the yard, with Qin Chengyi comforting him.
Qin Chengyi listened to his parents' words and called those older than him "brother" and those younger than him "little brother".
"Don't cry, brother. They're all mean; they won't play with you. Your little brother will play with you."
The three adults twitched at the sight; they knew they were all doomed.
The generational hierarchy is completely messed up.
