Ning Hao didn't actually care about the delicious meal; he just wanted to be alone with Jiang Qiao. It was a feeling that his grandparents couldn't give him—a feeling that made them feel like a family. In his heart, Jiang Qiao was like him, and for that reason, he wanted to give this little girl everything he lacked. Perhaps, in the future, this little girl would be his wife and family.
Jiang Qiao had no idea that Ning Hao was thinking that way, but none of that stopped her from making a good meal. Song Zhi was still injured in the hospital, and she wondered if his family had made him anything to eat.
In addition, she had to send some medicine over. It wasn't that she didn't trust the doctors at the hospital, but she felt that the prescription left by the Qiao family was relatively more effective.
Li Meilan swallowed hard when she smelled the delicious aroma wafting from the Qiao family's kitchen.
"This brat, is she trying to make everyone drool? Old Man Qiao is out there working hard to treat patients and earn money, and all she does is eat and drink at home. I've never seen such a gluttonous girl. If someone marries her, she'll ruin the family."
Wang Tiezhu glared at his wife helplessly. "Why do you care about that? They have meat at home, so why can't we eat it? You're really something. We have meat at home, so just cook it and eat it. What are you waiting for? If you wait until the meat goes bad, it will be too late to eat it."
"Sigh, you can go down and cook some meat too. Anyway, with Jiang Qiao's family taking care of things, no one can say anything else. After we finish eating, I'll find someone to figure out a solution."
Her three sons were also nagging, and Li Meilan was actually really craving it. If it weren't for the people in the yard, she would have cooked and eaten it long ago.
"Wait here, I'll get you guys some meat to eat right now. And I'm telling you, once you've eaten, you'd better find a way to get some back for me."
Ning Hao had eaten at Jiang Qiao's place, chatted for a while, and then went back to rest.
Jiang Qiao quickly packed everything up, got on her bike, and headed straight to the hospital.
She never dreamed that she would see her uncle at the hospital entrance.
Gu Zhengkai had already finished reading Song Zhi and was just about to go back when he ran into his niece.
"Qiao'er?"
"Uncle, what brings you here?"
Gu Zhengkai patted his niece's head and said, "You silly girl, such a big thing happened, how could your uncle not come? Besides, he's your father's third brother, and we usually keep in touch. He's in the hospital, so of course I had to come and see him."
Are you bringing them food?
Jiang Qiao nodded. "Uncle, why don't you come upstairs with me? I'll go home and get some more things later, and I'll cook them at your place. You'll have food to eat for the next couple of days. With your cooking skills, you should be able to cook them properly."
Feeling embarrassed by his niece's teasing, Gu Zhengkai touched his nose and said, "Okay, Uncle will go up with you."
To be honest, he ate out all day and hadn't had dinner yet.
When Jiang Qiao and the others went up, Cheng Yingli came down just as she was going home to cook.
"Auntie, have you eaten? I brought you some food."
Cheng Yingli didn't know what to say. "You're such a thoughtful child. I'm even jealous of your parents now."
Gu Zhengkai laughed from the side, "It's no use being jealous. This belongs to our family, and you can't take it away."
Although Cheng Yingli wasn't very familiar with Gu Zhengkai, she had just heard her husband tell her about this person's identity.
The fourth brother's elder brother is a relative. "Hehe, that's why I'm jealous. Perfect, I don't have to go back to do it anymore, I can benefit from it too."
Upon arriving at the ward, Jiang Qiao discovered it was a private room. "Not bad, this is convenient for recuperation. Third Uncle, how are you? Are you still in pain? I'm truly impressed by you. Didn't you feel anything when you jumped off the building?"
Song Zhi waved his hand and said, "At that time, I couldn't care less about that. I was lucky to survive. I heard that the person has been caught. I'll have to teach that bastard a lesson. He can't take on the whole building just to deal with me. He's crazy."
Gu Zhengkai sat down to the side and said, "They're not just crazy, they're utterly depraved. This matter needs to be thoroughly investigated; there must be someone behind it all."
Jiang Qiao brought a lot of things: a big bowl of rice and a big bowl of braised pork belly with sauerkraut and glass noodles. The aroma was so enticing that even Gu Zhengkai couldn't resist.
"Uncle, you eat something first. I'll give my third uncle some bone broth first. There are medicinal herbs added to it."
Gu Zhengkai didn't stand on ceremony. Since Jiang Qiao had brought plenty of food, he also started eating. Song Zhi's two children ate while sighing with delight.
"Mom, look at the food Jiang Qiao makes, and look at what you make. It's just a shoddy job. This is what you call delicious."
While eating, Cheng Yingli tapped her son's forehead with her chopsticks. "You brat, I didn't cook well. I can see you ate quite a bit. You're complaining that your mother can't cook well. Then next time you might as well not eat at all, which will save me the trouble."
However, this stuff is really delicious—”
Gu Zhengkai chuckled as he ate, “Our Qiao’er is a great cook. I’ve heard she cooks better than my sister-in-law. There’s no comparison; it’s just her natural talent.”
Cheng Yingli strongly agreed with Gu Zhengkai's point of view: "That's right, I really can't learn this."
While drinking the bone broth his niece had made for him, Song Zhi sighed, "Luckily, that young man Ning Hao helped us, otherwise that dog spy might have gotten away."
Jiang Qiao said with a smile, "So you must treat them well."
Song Zhi glanced at Jiang Qiao and asked, "Girl, do you know him?"
Jiang Qiao nodded, "That's right, he lives in the same courtyard as me, and he helped me a lot before. How could I not know him?"
Song Zhi nodded knowingly. "I know what to do about this. I heard that young man is still studying at a military academy. He's quite a character. It's rare for an ordinary person to be so vigilant."
Jiang Qiao sighed, "What a frightening day! Third Uncle, you need to handle this matter carefully and make sure there are no more problems."
Song Zhi gave Jiang Qiao a knowing look, "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."
Then the two of them smiled at each other. Gu Zhengkai couldn't quite understand what secret his niece had with Song Zhi.
On the way back, he casually asked, and Jiang Qiao sighed, "I don't want to stand out. I was looking for something with my third uncle at the time, so I don't want him to tell anyone. It doesn't really concern me."
Gu Zhengkai chuckled, "You silly kid, everyone else is eager to take all the credit for themselves, but you're afraid of getting credit."
"But this is for your own good. It's very advantageous for you. If these people had their eyes on you, life would have been much harder. At least Song Zhi can take responsibility, so let him handle everything. You just need to focus on growing up safely."
