While he was speaking, Jiang Qiao's needles had already swiftly pierced various acupoints on the stone, and the little guy was completely unaware of it.
"When will I grow up? I dream about growing up all the time."
Sister, I miss Dad so much. Can he come back to see me? If not, I can go see him myself. I haven't seen him in so long.
It's normal for a child to miss his father, after all, Shitou is only six years old. Jiang Qiao can genuinely understand her younger brother's current little troubles. Children are truly happy when they grow up with their parents. As for her, if she hadn't experienced two lifetimes, her life wouldn't have been easy either.
“Dad is busy right now. When Mom has some free time, she will take Shitou back. My sister is all better now and doesn’t need you to take care of her anymore.”
The little guy was still being stubborn. "No way, you have trouble even walking. What if you fall down if we leave?"
Jiang Qiao was no longer speaking; all her energy was now focused on the needles.
Those standing outside could feel the wind blowing into the house from outside.
Qiao Jie sighed, "It's really not easy for that girl. It must be very difficult to open up the acupoints of the stone at this time."
Just as Qiao Jie had guessed, Jiang Qiao did have some trouble. However, fortunately, the formation set up by Hou Diankui was very effective and helped her a lot. In the process of giving her brother acupuncture, she herself also benefited.
Stone wanted to say something, but feeling warm and comfortable all over, he couldn't help but close his eyes and fall asleep.
After Jiang Qiao finished her acupuncture, the little guy was sleeping soundly. Jiang Qiao told someone outside, then she lay down next to her brother, and the two siblings fell asleep together.
Wen Jingwan and the others came in to check on the child, covered him with something, and then came out together.
Ma Liu was a little confused. Why was Jiang Qiao in such a hurry to give Shi Tou acupuncture? This didn't seem like Jiang Qiao's style. So, when everyone went back to rest, he secretly whispered something to Qiao Jie.
"Brother, do you think Qiao'er has something on her mind? To be honest, she hasn't fully recovered yet, and giving Shi Tou acupuncture is really a bit of a stretch in my opinion."
But why is she in such a hurry? Has something happened outside that we don't know about, and the girl is so anxious that she has no choice but to do this?
Qiao Jie frowned and sighed, "I also feel something is not right, but if the girl doesn't want to talk about it, it's pointless to ask. Our Qiao'er has a lot on her mind and doesn't want to talk about some things, probably because she's afraid we'll get upset and she can't help us anyway."
Don't ask. Our children will tell us when it's our turn to know.
Ma Liu leaned against the pillow, looking worried. "Brother, the children are all out there. What if something happens to them? We won't know. How about I go to the provincial capital to check on them?"
As for the two children, Zhengkai has been through thick and thin, so I'm not worried about him. I'm afraid the two younger ones won't be able to handle it. What if they end up like their uncle?
Old Gu has already gone through that painful experience once; I'm afraid something like that will happen to my family again.
Qiao Jie shook his head. "Don't go. Even if something happens, you can't help. Just stay home and stay safe. If we stay safe, that's the best we can do for the kids."
These next few days, make sure the child eats plenty of food. If Jiang Qiao gets better nutrition, the child will recover faster. Go kill a chicken later and put some medicinal herbs in it.”
Ma Liu nodded. "Brother, why haven't we heard from our sister for so long? Could something be wrong?"
Ma Liu was really bored. As soon as he lay down, he started worrying about everything. There was nothing he couldn't worry about.
Qiao Jie shook his head. "Their backgrounds are fine, and their son sacrificed his life. No one will go against them. Besides, Qiao'er has made arrangements back then, so there's no need to worry about that for now."
Let's get some sleep first. When we're both healthy, the children will have the energy to handle things outside.
Qiao Jie was optimistic. How could Jiang Qiao not be anxious about something that had been brewing for four years?
But no matter how anxious they were, given the current physical condition, the only thing they, as elders, could do was help the child recover as quickly as possible so that Jiang Qiao would have the energy to deal with things outside.
Looking back now, I realize how tough it has been for my granddaughter. If it weren't for the foundation she laid earlier, things wouldn't have been so easy for our family.
Wen Jingwan and Jian Ling weren't in the mood for sleeping. This child was going to get married sooner or later, so they had to hurry up and get everything ready.
Normally, when making quilts for children, people would ask the elderly for help. However, these two people are not superstitious and would do it themselves if they could, so they would never bother others.
The two sisters rummaged through drawers and cabinets, taking out all their belongings.
"It's still a bit short. Let's make one first and then buy the rest later."
Jiang Qiao slept until almost dinnertime, while Shi Tou woke up even earlier than her. The little guy didn't go out to play; he just sat quietly next to her, writing calligraphy.
Seeing that Jiang Qiao had moved, the little guy dropped his pen and crawled over.
"Sister, sister, you're awake! Get up and eat! Grandpa Liu made you some chicken soup, it smells delicious."
Jiang Qiao touched her younger brother's face; it felt really nice. "Shitou, how are you feeling now? Does it hurt?"
The little guy shook his head. "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt, sis, you really didn't lie to me. But, now that I've had the needle, what do I need to do?"
Jiang Qiao stood up and looked at her younger brother with a serious expression. "Shitou, sit down and listen to what your sister says. Remember it carefully..."
Jiang Qiao passed on the internal energy cultivation method she had first learned to her younger brother, teaching them how to practice it while having him memorize her words.
Fortunately, the Gu family's genes are very strong. Don't underestimate Shitou just because he's only six years old. The little guy has a really good memory. He memorized it after reading it a few times. Moreover, following Jiang Qiao's instructions, the little guy already understands how to operate it.
"Remember, you must practice this internal energy cultivation method every day. Aunt Jian taught you the moves, and the best effect comes from combining the two. Remember, you are not allowed to use this when fighting with children, understand? It's easy to hurt people."
Stone nodded, somewhat bewildered, but he knew that hurting others was wrong.
"What if you encounter bad people?"
Jiang Qiao spoke without hesitation, "Beat them up, beat them as hard as you can, do whatever you feel comfortable with. You can't be polite to people like this. But the most important thing is to protect yourself, understand?"
The little guy nodded vigorously and helped Jiang Qiao down, showing great understanding. Compared to the morning, his legs were much stronger in the afternoon.
"Let's go eat!"
The food at home was ready, but there were two extra people in the yard. Jiang Qiao was a little surprised when she saw Yu Deshui and Wang Datou. Why were these two here?
"Jiang Qiao, what's wrong? Don't you recognize me? It hasn't been that long, has it?"
Seeing the way Jiang Qiao was scrutinizing them, the two brothers were puzzled. She hadn't changed at all, so why couldn't they recognize her?
Jiang Qiao smiled and said, "I think you two are quite bold. Jiang He just made a scene yesterday, and you two came here today. Aren't you afraid people will talk about you?"
Wang Datou snorted, "What are we afraid of? Speak up. We've come to see the hero, so it's not wrong, is it?"
Actually, I wanted to come last night, but my brother and I went over there to use the internet. So, we just got here to see what we brought you.
Seeing the large fish in the yard, Jiang Qiao couldn't help but laugh. "You two are really brave. You dare to go over there?"
