When Gu Jianing went to open the door, he saw a soldier guarding the military district gate.
"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 started talking as soon as they met.
Qin Tian? Why is he here?
Qin Tian had come to deliver herbs twice before, but he didn't come again because of heavy snow and the mountain was blocked. He had also agreed to come again after the spring.
Is there something urgent that makes you come to see her now?
Gu Jianing has a very good impression of the brother and sister Qin Tian and Qin Qing, especially Qin Tian. Although he is relatively young, he looks much more mature and stable than his older sister Qin Qing. Because his parents are not around and there is an old 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 she can't help but feel more pity 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 returned 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 afar 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 small figure did not hold an umbrella. 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 guy's body 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 walked up to Qin Tian holding an umbrella and covered his head with it, Qin Tian's eyes turned red and his voice choked up when he looked at Gu Jianing.
"Sister Gu, grandma is very ill. The doctor said he can't cure her. Sister Gu, please save my grandma, please..."
Talking about his 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 comforted him, "Don't cry first, 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 emotions stabilized a little, and he also described Grandma Qin's situation in detail.
Speaking of which, the first time Qin Tian and his sister met Gu Jianing at the fair, Grandma Qin was sick and kept coughing.
Later, Qin Tian, who had 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 always good.
Before the mountain was closed due to heavy snow, Qin Tian, who had finally saved some money by selling medicinal herbs several times in cooperation with Gu Jianing, 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, and she got up too quickly, felt dizzy, and fainted on 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's sister and brother who were sleeping in the next room did not hear the sound.
By the time Qin Tian discovered 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 it was cold air entering the body.
Later, Qin Tian spent almost all his money and spent two days and two nights before the old lady's fever subsided.
But then the old lady started coughing...
"…Today, grandma coughed up blood. She didn't want my sister and I to see it, but I saw it anyway."
"The village doctor took a look and said that grandma had tuberculosis. He couldn't cure it. She might be able to get better if she went to a hospital in a big city. Woohoo, Sister Gu, what is tuberculosis? Is it really that difficult to cure?"
Gu Jianing frowned. If it was really tuberculosis, then it would be difficult to treat in this era.
Can she be cured?
Gu Jianing thought that if she bound Granny Qin as a patient, and the system analyzed the symptoms, and she went in to study, it should be possible to cure it.
Qin Tian and his sister, whose parents are not around, only depend on their grandmother. If the old lady were gone, and they were the only ones left, they 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 jacket in his hand.
Gu Jianing took it and put it on Qin Tian before he could react. The latter was suddenly stunned, "Sister Gu..."
"It's so cold, and you're still a child, you should wear more clothes."
Qin Tian looked at the brand new cotton-padded jacket on his body, which formed a sharp contrast with his own gray, thin, and patched cotton-padded jacket.
He didn't expect that Sister Gu would ask her husband to get him a cotton-padded jacket. Qin Tian was deeply moved and tears were about to fall again.
"Sister Gu, no, I can't accept it." Although he is poor, Qin Tian is not the kind of person who likes to take advantage of others.
Qin Tian was about to take it off, but Gu Jianing held him down, "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 a little girl like Qin Qing, 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 before and knew that she did have 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 hummed 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, Sheng Zexi saw Gu Jianing beside him was looking at him. The look in his eyes was so gentle that it seemed to melt water.
Sheng Zexi's ears felt slightly hot, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
