After returning to the courtyard, Jiang Tiantian urged A Ku to take another hot bath. Fortunately, there was always boiling water in the kitchen.

Ah Ku cleaned himself up and said only, "I'm fine, I'm going to go get some sleep."

Then I went back to the house.

"Oh..." Jiang Tiantian sighed, turned to look at Cha Jiuzhang, looking a little sad.

"Maybe I was really wrong this time. I shouldn't have called Ah Ku to the capital."

"Mr. Qin told us not to tell Ah Ku that we had met him. Maybe he knows the inside story."

"But I thought, Ah Ku has been waiting for him and looking for him for so long, and finally found him. If he doesn't see him, wouldn't it be a lifelong regret?"

Cha Jiuzhang rubbed her head and said, "You are not a prophet, how can you predict all the outcomes?"

"I told you that Aku is not as fragile as we thought. You have to believe in him. He can get through it."

Jiang Tiantian nodded silently, then looked at Cha Jiuzhang, "You go to school, I'll just stay at home with him."

"It's okay. It's okay if I don't go for a day occasionally. I'll just stay home with you guys today."

"How about I go buy some mutton? The weather is getting cold, and Ah Ku has been soaking in the river for so long today. How about we have hot pot for lunch?"

"Okay, then go ahead." Jiang Tiantian nodded.

At noon, Jiang Tiantian thought that eating hotpot would be more lively with more people, so she simply prepared some more ingredients and set up two tables in the yard.

Ten or so people who were working on the construction were also invited to the furnace.

There are two small earthen stoves with two mandarin duck pots on them, bubbling with the unique fresh aroma of mutton soup.

The hot pot base is cooked by Jiang Tiantian herself.

As early as when she started cooking, several guys on the construction site couldn't stand it anymore.

Because the smell is so fragrant.

Now, after eating it, he was full of praise, "Miss Jiang, your cooking skills are like this..."

A young man gave Jiang Tiantian a thumbs up while eating.

"Yes, Miss Jiang, with your skills, you can open a store directly. Then, the business will be very good." Li Zhengshao couldn't help but praise with his mouth full of oil.

As soon as he said this, Jiang Tiantian rolled her eyes and looked at A Ku.

Ah Ku has now returned to his original state, looking as if he doesn't care about anything.

He saw Jiang Tiantian staring at him from the corner of his eye, and he glanced at her sideways, "Why are you looking at me? If you want to open a business, just open it. We have to do the next business anyway."

For the college entrance examination next year, the three people who took the exam had already agreed to go to Beijing.

One reason is that the schools here are the best in the country.

The second reason is that they also want to expand their business to the capital.

Everything in Chengdu is on the right track now, and they have trained a group of backbone personnel. It will be no problem for them to leave or take another group of backbone personnel with them.

Jiang Tiantian thought about it and said, "I think it's a good idea to open a hot pot restaurant. The winter here is quite long, and eating hot pot is not only lively, but also warm all the time."

Seeing that she really wanted to open a shop, Li Zhengshao spoke directly, "Miss Jiang, if you really want to open a shop, I will recommend a place for you. That location is definitely a good place to open a restaurant."

"Do you have a shop?" Jiang Tiantian asked curiously.

"It's not mine, but we are in this business, so we must know more about this information than you do."

"But that family's first choice is to sell, not rent. You can go and take a look first. If it's suitable, then discuss with them and see if it's okay to rent it first."

When doing business, there is no guarantee that you will make money, so it’s okay to test the waters first.

"If the place is suitable, it's not impossible to buy it. How about this, when it's convenient for you, take us to see the store first."

Jiang Tiantian thought, since An Kun had the chance to come to the capital, he shouldn't go back so soon, as there is nothing going on in Chengdu right now.

It's just right, find something for him to do to distract him.

Li Zhengshao smiled and replied, "Okay, I'll contact that family first and see when it's more convenient to visit the store."

…

After dinner.

Ah Ku directly said to Jiang Tiantian, "I already know the address of the hospital. I'll just go and take a look myself. You guys don't need to follow me."

"Ah," Jiang Tiantian was a little worried, "I have nothing to do in the afternoon, I'll go with you."

Ah Ku frowned, "No need, I can go by myself."

Jiang Tiantian wanted to say something else, but Cha Jiuzhang pulled his clothes behind him and said to A Ku with a smile, "Okay, then we won't go. I'll wait for you to have dinner tonight. Then I'll have a couple of drinks with you."

A Ku glanced at Cha Jiuzhang and nodded. Some things are tacit understandings only between men.

True brothers need to give each other space.

After Ah Ku left, Jiang Tiantian was a little worried, "He's alone, is he really okay?"

"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Cha Jiuzhang squeezed Jiang Tiantian's hand.

A Ku and Tan Zhilin may be the few men who will not make Cha Jiuzhang jealous, because he can see that Jiang Tiantian treats them as brothers.

In the end, Jiang Tiantian asked Xiao Qi to send out a drone to follow A Ku.

In the hospital.

A Ku asked the nurse and walked all the way out of the ward.

Standing outside the door, I looked through the glass at the old man lying on the hospital bed.

The facial features had not changed much, but the overall appearance of the person had shrunk a lot compared to what he remembered.

He was so thin and shriveled that if he hadn't seen the slight rise and fall of his chest, he would have thought that he was almost a living dead person.

The attending physician came to make his rounds and saw a young man standing outside the door. He looked very similar to Qin Yushi's daughter-in-law, almost like they were copied from the same mold.

He asked directly, "Are you here to see Mr. Qin?"

Ah Ku nodded silently.

The doctor said, "Come in. He hasn't woken up yet. Your mother and the others just left. If you talk to him more, maybe you can wake him up faster."

When the doctor mentioned his mother, Ah Ku did not show any emotion. He just asked, "When will he wake up?"

Speaking of this topic, the doctor also sighed, "Although Mr. Qin's vital signs are becoming more stable and his condition should not be serious in the short term, no one knows when he will wake up."

"After all, my body was so badly weakened before. This time, I was able to survive only because of the essence of the medicine provided by Miss Jiang."

Although I have continued to take the essence of the medicine every day for the past two days.

But for the rest, how far he can go depends entirely on his own luck.

Only then did A Ku realize that the old man's life was saved by Jiang Tiantian.

He suddenly felt a little warm in his heart. He knew that Jiang Tiantian did this for his sake.
