For a moment, her mind was filled with memories of what had happened before. Her uncle's family only had two daughters and Jiang Jinyu was the only boy. If Jiang Jinyu was not mistaken, could it be that her own brother had been adopted by her uncle?
This incident left her completely at a loss for how to respond to Jiang Jinyu's comment.
"You seem to be a happy family."
Jiang Jinyu sighed, "Go sit down, don't stand. There's no reason for guests to stand."
"Jiang Ming, look what Jiang Qiao brought you."
For some reason, he also didn't like his grandson calling Jiang Qiao "sister," and instinctively felt a kind of resistance to it.
Jiang Qiao turned to Jiang Ming and said, "I don't know what to bring you to eat. If you like, I'll bring you some next time. If you have time, you can come to our house to play."
"Come, sit down, let me take your pulse."
Jiang Qiao didn't know what the doctors in the capital had been doing during this time, so she needed to have her pulse checked again before deciding what to do next.
"Huh—"
Jiang Qiao felt that Jiang Ming's health was much better than before. She was amazed that he could improve his health to this extent in such a short time. He was a miracle worker.
As soon as she spoke, Jiang Jinyu laughed and said, "Grandson, take out the jade pendant around your neck."
Seeing the jade pendant around Jiang Ming's neck, Jiang Qiao understood everything.
"Impressive. To have Master Hou send you this, you must have quite a bit of influence. With this to nourish the child's body, at least the poison in his body won't continue to worsen."
“That’s right. I didn’t expect it either. Master Hou also said that if you can help with what’s going to happen next, maybe the child will be able to speak in the future.”
Jiang Qiao just smiled and said, "I know the general outline of Jiang Ming's condition. Give me some time. I'll give him acupuncture now. Don't any of you disturb me. Do you have a private room?"
Gu Jinyu took Jiang Qiao to Jiang Ming's room. When it was just the two of them, Jiang Qiao took out the medicine from her bag.
"Take this first. It's an antidote pill I specially prepared for you. But we still need to do acupuncture. Only by combining the two methods can you speak completely. Do you understand?"
Jiang Ming nodded, then swallowed the medicine without hesitation, and obediently took off his clothes and lay on the bed to wait for Jiang Qiao to administer acupuncture.
This time, thanks to Hou Diankui's jade pendant, Jiang Qiao's efforts were twice as effective.
This time, she wasn't exhausted; instead, she stood up quite easily. "Alright, that's enough for today. We'll continue tomorrow. Remember, don't try to speak for now. Take good care of your voice. Your vocal cords are a bit damaged. The jade pendant your grandfather gave you was to nourish your body. Remember, don't give this to anyone else. Wear it all the time, so you won't get sick easily in the future. Do you understand?"
Jiang Ming nodded with a smile, pointed to the snacks on the table, and wanted Jiang Qiao to eat them.
Jiang Qiao smiled, then took out a bag of deep-fried, sugar-coated peanuts and a packet of medicine from her bag.
"Remember to take it three times a day. After you finish this packet, I'll change your medication. After you finish your medication, take some of this. Remember not to eat too much sugar, otherwise your teeth will rot. Without good teeth, nothing tastes sweet."
Also, remember, you need to brush your teeth every day, both morning and night, and wash your hands before meals and after using the toilet. Do you understand?
Jiang Ming nodded, clinging to Jiang Qiao's arm with boundless affection, his little face pressed against her shoulder.
Jiang Qiao patted the child's back. "I won't eat the pastries. I've already had lunch. I'll save them for you. Oh, and I'll bring you some fruit later, okay?"
The little guy nodded happily. Although it was good to have his parents, he always felt that something was missing.
He has a younger brother and sister at home. His parents care about him, but they are not as kind to him as this older sister in front of him.
From the moment he opened his eyes, he was convinced that the woman in front of him was the one sent by God to save him.
"Alright, let's go out. We'll continue treatment tomorrow."
After Jiang Qiao and Jiang Ming went out, Jiang Qiao took out a packet of medicine from her backpack. "When we were at my dad's house, Jiang Ming used to take this. Let the child continue tonight, and I'll see how it goes tomorrow. If it works well, we'll continue."
After discussing her grandson's matter, Jiang Jinyu wasn't in a hurry to send Jiang Qiao back. Instead, she brought up future developments.
"Jiang Qiao, we both have the surname Jiang, and you happen to share the same name as my sister. Have you ever considered working in our department? After all, the salary and benefits here are really good."
Jiang Qiaotian sighed, "The pay is good, but the price is also quite high. Risks and benefits go hand in hand. To be honest, I'm afraid of dying, and I can't afford to die."
You should know that I have a grandfather who is caring for me, and I also have a brother who is caring for my grandfather in another city. They are both relying on me to take care of them in their old age.
In addition, the nature of my grandfather's, my parents', and my uncle's jobs meant they simply didn't have the time or energy to take care of the elderly.
These things will have to be done by me. Although I have an older brother and a younger brother, they are boys. When they get married and start their own families, they will have wives and children. If their families don't treat the elderly well, I will have to help take care of three elderly people. This doesn't even take into account the fact that I will get married when I grow up.
You mentioned you work here, so you probably don't sit in an office all day, right? What about your elderly parents? They're all getting on in years. They've been so devoted to me, and I can't let them down. Since I promised to take care of them in their old age, I can't break my word."
Jiang Jinyu looked at Jiang Qiao with a worried expression. "Young lady, you're carrying too much on your shoulders. Your parents are busy for now, but they'll naturally have time when they retire."
Jiang Qiao smiled and looked at her brother, "Director Jiang, have you forgotten what you said before? Filial piety can't wait, and the elderly can't afford to wait either. Who knows what will happen in the future? While we still have the ability to take care of them, we should take care of them as much as possible."
Besides, who can predict the future? My grandfather probably never dreamed he'd be treated this way. To be honest, he supported the Eighth Route Army a lot back then, but some things... well, you just can't say them.
Jiang Jinyu was speechless after what Jiang Qiao said. What the other child said was right, but this one in front of her was indeed a rare talent, and it would be a real pity to give up on him.
Moreover, he had another thought: Jiang Qiao, who shared the same name as his sister, gave him a desire to protect her. However, she was so far away that there were some things he really couldn't take care of. But if she were by his side, that would be a different story.
He couldn't really explain his feelings, but he felt a desire to get close to the child. However, he never dreamed that Jiang Qiao was actually the same Jiang Qiao from his previous life, and he also never knew that the phenomenon of reincarnation actually existed in this world.
In Jiang Jinyu's philosophy of life, all of that was nonsense, mere superstition. When a person dies, it's like a lamp going out; how could they possibly come back to life? It was all feudal superstition.
