Dong Kaizhen called out from the side, "Everyone, hurry up and sit down. Singing against the wind, don't worry about your voices, everyone sit down quickly."
The children huddled up to Dong Kaizhen with smiles, saying, "Aunt Dong, you always love us the most."
Dong Kaizhen put her arm around the child's shoulder, her heart filled with happiness.
She hadn't thought much of it before, but as she got older, she longed for a lively home. Children are so wonderful; that way, the two of them wouldn't have to stare at each other, feeling lonely and sighing all the time.
"Come on, everyone, drink some water. Don't strain your voices. It's not time to get serious yet..."
Next, tasks were assigned, with Jiang Qiao and Gu Zhixuan providing supplementary information.
"I'll go see the patient first. I don't know when I'll be back, but I'll try to get there as soon as possible."
Dong Kaizhen understood this. Jiang Qiao had other important things to do. The couple had both heard about Yang Yunqi's situation. If it weren't for the children at home that they had to take care of, they would have gone to check on them in the next couple of days.
"Girl, don't worry, I'll take care of things here. We may not have eaten pork, but we've seen pigs run, right?"
Besides, these are our kids. Old Ma and I raised them ourselves. We know what kind of kids they are; they're all top-notch.
Jiang Qiao actually knew about this. She knew what kind of background the old couple came from. With so many promising talents, it would be strange if the couple were idle. She just didn't know how well these children had been trained.
However, with Dong Kaizhen and Ning Hao around, she felt there shouldn't be any major problems.
These two are seasoned veterans; they understand things without her saying a word.
"Everyone, please be careful and try not to go out alone. Bring a couple of companions with you so you can look out for each other if anything happens."
Jiang Qiao took out a wad of cash and bills from her bag. "Auntie, distribute these to everyone later. When you're out and about, always carry plenty of money and coupons. If you see something you like and want to buy, don't hesitate. Remember, please be careful—"
Everyone nodded in unison. "Qiao'er, don't worry, we definitely won't do anything reckless."
Jiang Qiao got off the bus as soon as she arrived at her destination and took a bus to the hospital, while Ning Hao took the rest of the group to the guesthouse.
She went to the address Chen Fang gave her, but didn't run into Song Zhi on the way. She hoped to meet him in the hospital room.
However, before she could even see him, Jiang Qiao was stopped by the guards at the entrance.
"Comrade, what does this mean? Family members aren't allowed to visit anymore?"
Jiang Qiao couldn't tell who the person guarding the gate was, as he wasn't wearing a uniform, but what he said was quite interesting.
"Comrade, the family members are inside. I haven't heard of any other family members coming over."
Jiang Qiao smiled and said, "Then you can ask the people inside to see if I'm a family member."
"That's not a good idea. The patient needs to rest and shouldn't be disturbed."
Jiang Qiao was so angry at the person in front of her that she couldn't even keep up a smile.
"Comrade, I heard that Yang Yunqi is still unconscious. I just don't know where you got the word 'disturb' from?"
The other party didn't know Jiang Qiao's identity either. Yang Yunqi was currently under close protection; unrelated people were not allowed to approach him.
Jiang Qiao knew she couldn't explain it to the other party, so she simply called out the names of Yang Yunqi's children into the house. She didn't know who was taking care of them, but she just called them all, so she was sure she was right.
Sure enough, after he finished shouting, the door opened, and Yang Yunqi's eldest son poked his head out.
He glanced at Jiang Qiao and found her familiar. At first glance, he genuinely didn't recognize her. After all, when he first met Jiang Qiao, she was only a teenager. Besides, Jiang Qiao had been sick for so long, so she must have lost weight. Therefore, at first glance, he really couldn't tell who the girl in front of him was.
However, as soon as Jiang Qiao spoke, the other party became visibly excited: "Oh my god, you're Jiang Qiao! Come in quickly!"
"Oh, by the way, comrade, this is my father's good friend. Next time, you can let her in."
Jiang Qiao raised an eyebrow at the comrade on guard duty. "See, you still don't believe me? I said it was a family member, how could it be wrong? However, you deserve praise, you are very vigilant, keep it up."
Jiang Qiao entered the house with an air of nonchalance. The comrade on guard touched his nose and said, "My friend, this girl is really good at talking nonsense. Family member, indeed."
When Yang Yunqi's son saw Jiang Qiao, it was as if he had seen a savior.
"Jiang Qiao, please take a look at my father. What's wrong? Why hasn't he woken up? The doctor doesn't have any better ideas. He just said to observe him, but he hasn't woken up even after so long."
You saved my dad last time, so see if there's any other way. Anything will do as long as it wakes him up.
You know, my dad's life hasn't been easy. He was fighting when he was young, and later, he avenged my mother, so he went to jail too. He finally found a job he liked, but then this happened..."
Jiang Qiao ignored the chatter of the people around her and instead reached out to take Yang Yunqi's pulse. Her brows furrowed immediately; Yang Yunqi's condition was rather troublesome.
He looked up at Yang Yunqi's son and asked, "Brother, could you ask if Director Song has arrived?"
The other person nodded. "They came by, but said they had something to do and would come back tonight. I guess they should be here soon."
"Jiang Qiao, do you have any ideas about my father's condition?"
Jiang Qiao didn't hide this from the eldest son of the Yang family. "Brother, Uncle's current situation is a bit tricky. You've probably heard about my condition. I've only been awake for a few days, and my body hasn't fully recovered. I definitely can't manage on my own. Let's discuss it when Director Song arrives. I need manpower."
This time, Yang's eldest son was pleasantly surprised. He stared at Jiang Qiao with wide eyes and asked, "Jiang Qiao, if someone helps you, are you really capable?"
Jiang Qiao nodded. "I'll try my best—"
That's what they say, but it will take time for Hou Diankui to arrive.
Therefore, Jiang Qiao can only give Yang Yunqi acupuncture to temporarily stabilize his condition and prevent it from deteriorating further. Otherwise, even if he wakes up, he probably won't be able to use his brain properly.
The eldest son of the Yang family conscientiously went out to guard the gate. Taking this opportunity, Jiang Qiao quickly changed the medicine in the bottle. The current effect of the medicine was not ideal. The medicine she brought should be effective for Yang Yunqi's illness.
"Uncle Yang, you must take good care of yourself. You've come all this way from the battlefield, we can't let ourselves be defeated in a small ditch. Your eldest niece isn't feeling well right now, so you must wait until Grandpa Hou arrives."
After Jiang Qiao finished receiving acupuncture, she was quite exhausted. Just then, Song Zhi arrived.
Upon hearing that Jiang Qiao was inside, his heart tightened. He knew his niece well; the girl hadn't fully recovered yet, and she had come all this way to treat Yang Yunqi. Clearly, she was forcing the child.
Slowly pushing open the door, I saw Jiang Qiao sitting in a chair, her face pale and her whole body soaked in sweat.
"Qiao'er, Qiao'er, how are you?"
