Gu Jianing went to open the door and saw a soldier from the military district gate guard station.
"Sister-in-law, there is a little boy named Qin Tian from Kaoshan Village outside. He said he has something urgent to discuss with you..." The soldier spoke as soon as he saw her.
Qin Tian? Why is he here?
Qin Tian had come to deliver herbs twice before, but he never came again because the mountain was blocked by heavy snow. He had also agreed to come again after the spring.
What's the urgent matter that brings you to see her now?
Gu Jianing has a very good impression of Qin Tian and Qin Qing, brother and sister, especially Qin Tian. Although he is younger, he looks much more mature and stable than his older sister Qin Qing. Because his parents are not around and there is an elderly lady in the family who is not in good health, he has taken on the responsibility of supporting the family at a young age.
Gu Jianing has always liked children, and he can't help but feel more sympathy for well-behaved and sensible children.
"Okay, I'll go see him."
Thinking that Qin Tian might have something urgent to do, Gu Jianing decided to go see him.
As soon as I got back to the house, Sheng Zexi, who was getting dressed and washing dishes, came over and asked.
Gu Jianing told him this.
"I'll go with you."
"good."
As the couple approached, they saw from a distance a small figure standing at the gate of the military area, looking inside from time to time.
It was snowing heavily today. Sheng Zexi was afraid that Gu Jianing would get wet, so he held an umbrella for her and wrapped her up tightly.
But in the heavy snow, that little figure did not have an umbrella. Even when Gu Jianing approached, he saw that his clothes were very thin. The cotton jacket on his body was obviously very thin and old, and there were many patches on it.
The little boy was almost covered by the snow, and his face was red from the cold.
Gu Jianing frowned and whispered something to Sheng Zexi. Then Sheng Zexi glanced at Qin Tian, gave the umbrella to Gu Jianing, turned around and trotted back.
"Sister Gu."
When Gu Jianing came to Qin Tian with an umbrella and put the umbrella over his head, Qin Tian's eyes turned red and his voice choked when he looked at Gu Jianing.
"Sister Gu, my grandma is very ill. The doctor said he can't cure her. Sister Gu, please save my grandma, please..."
Talking about grandma's illness, Qin Tian cried breathlessly with tears streaming down his face.
Gu Jianing stepped forward, gently embraced him, took out a handkerchief to wipe the tears from his face, and soothed him, "Don't cry yet, tell me what happened first, only then can I be sure whether I have the ability to help you."
With Gu Jianing's comfort, Qin Tian's mood stabilized a little, and he also described Grandma Qin's condition in detail.
Speaking of which, the first time Qin Tian and his sister met Gu Jianing was at the market, Grandma Qin was sick and kept coughing.
Later, Qin Tian, who sold medicinal herbs, finally had enough money to hire a barefoot doctor in the village to see the old lady. After taking the medicine, the old lady's condition began to improve.
Some time ago, grandma's health was good.
Before the mountain was closed due to heavy snow, Qin Tian, who had finally saved some money from selling medicinal herbs with Gu Jianing several times, also bought some food. Although it was not much, if he ate sparingly, he could still survive this cold winter.
Who would have thought that a few days ago, the old lady got up early to cook. She got up too quickly, felt dizzy, and fell to the ground. It was raining heavily at that time, and the sound of the rain covered the sound of the old lady falling. Qin Tian and his sister who were sleeping in the next room did not hear the sound.
By the time Qin Tian found her, Grandma Qin had been lying on the ground for almost an hour.
Later, Qin Tian went to call a doctor in the rain. With the doctor's treatment, Grandma Qin woke up, but she had a fever that day.
The doctor said that it was cold air entering the body.
Later, Qin Tian spent almost all his money and spent two days and two nights to treat the old lady's fever.
But then the old lady started coughing...
"…Today, grandma coughed up blood. She didn't want me and my sister to see it, but I saw it anyway."
"The village doctor came to take a look and said that the old lady had tuberculosis. He couldn't cure her. She said that if she went to a hospital in a big city, she might be able to recover. Oh, sister Gu, what is tuberculosis? Is it really difficult to cure..."
Gu Jianing frowned. If it was really tuberculosis, then it would be difficult to treat in this era.
Can she cure it?
Gu Jianing thought that if she could bind Granny Qin as a patient, and then let the system analyze her symptoms, and she could go in and study, she should be able to cure her.
Qin Tian and his sister, without their parents, only have their grandmother to depend on. If the old lady were gone, they would be the only ones left and would probably be bullied to death.
"Don't worry, I'll go back with you to take a look." Gu Jianing agreed.
"Thank you, thank you, Sister Gu."
At this time, Sheng Zexi came back with a thick cotton shirt in his hand.
Gu Jianing took it and put it on Qin Tian before he could react. The latter was stunned, "Sister Gu..."
"It's so cold, you're still a child, you should wear more clothes."
Qin Tian looked at the brand new cotton jacket draped over his body, which formed a sharp contrast with his own gray, thin, and patched cotton jacket.
He didn't expect that Sister Gu would ask her husband to get him a cotton shirt. Qin Tian was deeply moved and tears were about to fall again.
"Sister Gu, no, I can't take it." Although he was poor, Qin Tian was not the kind of person who liked to take advantage of others.
Qin Tian was about to take off his clothes, but was held down by Gu Jianing. "Don't take it off, Qin Tian. Think about it. Your grandma is sick now. If you get sick too, then this family will only be able to rely on Qin Qing, a little girl. Can she do it?"
Qin Tian was stunned.
"So, wear it."
Qin Tian also understood Gu Jianing's thoughts. His eyes were full of gratitude. He nodded and said yes, but he silently kept all of this in his heart.
He will repay Sister Gu, he will definitely do so.
Gu Jianing turned around and briefly told Sheng Zexi what had just happened.
Sheng Zexi frowned slightly and then relaxed his brows, saying, "I'll go borrow a car and drive with you guys."
Sheng Zexi was a little reluctant to let Gu Jianing go out in such a cold day, for fear that Gu Jianing would accidentally catch a cold and get sick, especially since she was pregnant.
But Ningning agreed again. Sheng Zexi had heard her talk about the Qin family's situation before and knew that she had some love for the Qin siblings.
Since we can't stop them, we can only go together. Driving can also protect us from the cold wind and heavy snow.
Gu Jianing looked at Sheng Zexi and said "hmm" softly. She knew that Brother Xi was doing this for her and always considered her in many small details of life.
It is no exaggeration to say that he is even more caring than her parents.
When Sheng Zexi drove over and several people got in the car, Sheng Zexi saw Gu Jianing next to him was looking at him all the time. The look in his eyes was so gentle that it seemed to melt water.
Sheng Zexi's ears were slightly hot, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
