"Xiu An, you haven't answered my question yet."

Seeing that Gu Xiu'an didn't respond, Ye Qingtao repeated it again.

Gu Xiu'an nodded heavily and agreed readily.

He was just worrying about how to repay his sister-in-law, but unexpectedly his sister-in-law arranged a job for him.

"Okay, since you agreed, I want to tell you some details."

"Each herb has different properties, different planting methods, different sowing seasons, and different ways of treating them."

"For example, Panax notoginseng is a shade-loving plant that is particularly afraid of extreme heat and is best grown in sandy loam. If you plant it in other places, the yield will be very low."

"But if the temperature is too high, it will be bad for its growth and it may die from the sun, so we must pay attention to sun protection in summer."

Ye Qingtao pointed at the Panax notoginseng in the garden and gradually instilled in Gu Xiu'an the various medicinal properties of the weather and the key points of planting.

Gu Xiu'an listened with great interest, his eyes wide open.

He always thought that growing herbs was the same as growing vegetables. Just bury them in the soil and water, fertilize and loosen the soil every day. He didn't expect there were so many tricks involved.

Ye Qingtao knew that what she had just said was not in vain, as Gu Xiu'an had heard it all.

She nodded in satisfaction but didn't say anything else.

Children have limited memory, so it is useless to say too much at one time.

If he is really interested, tell him a little about medicinal herbs every day.

Ye Qingtao was about to get up and leave, but Gu Xiu'an tugged at her sleeve and looked at her pleadingly.

"Xiu An, learning should be gradual, not crammed."

“What I teach you today, you may forget tomorrow.”

"No matter how much I tell you, it's actually useless. Only when you remember it and never forget it, will this knowledge be truly useful to you."

"If you can speak, I really want to test you tomorrow to make sure you have learned it, so I can teach you with confidence."

Ye Qingtao said earnestly, and Gu Xiu'an looked at her with a strong desire in his eyes.

Gu Xiu'an opened and closed his mouth, trying desperately to speak.

But he tried for a long time and in the end didn't say a word.

When Ye Qingtao saw the sweat on his forehead due to excitement, she knew that he really wanted to talk.

As long as people have desire, they will progress quickly.

Ye Qingtao realized that her treatment direction was correct.

Gu Xiu'an now shows signs of starting to speak.

Just stimulate him a little more and you can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

"Okay, I know you want to talk, but you can't."

"This feeling is uncomfortable, right? But in fact, as long as you are in this feeling every day, it will passively stimulate your vocal cords, and slowly you will be able to speak normally."

Ye Qingtao gave Gu Xiu'an a little hope. His eyes widened, his heart and eyes filled with joy.

No matter whether what his sister-in-law said was true or false, he was willing to believe it.

Gu Xiu'an nodded vigorously, dreaming of learning to speak as soon as possible.

Ye Qingtao went back to her room to study the prescription, leaving Gu Xiu'an alone, deep in thought.

An afternoon passed quickly, and Ye Qingtao's research made new progress.

As for Gu Xiu'an, he moved a small stool to the yard and sat there, leaning against it, his mouth opening and closing constantly.

He thought of a lot of things to say, and even though he couldn't express them, he was still trying hard to say them.

Fortunately, the courtyard where they live is located in a remote location and ordinary people cannot see them.

Otherwise, he would be standing here like a fool with his mouth open and unable to say anything, which would be really funny to watch.

But Gu Xiu'an didn't care. As long as he could speak normally, he would do anything.

When Gu Jingming came back in the evening, Ye Qingtao was still in the room and had not come out.

It was already dark outside, but Gu Xiu'an was still sitting on a small bench practicing something.

There was an inexplicable harmony in this scene. Gu Jingming walked in very quietly and didn't even disturb them.

He took off his coat and started cooking silently.

Everyone in the family is busy, so he has to learn to be more diligent.

My wife has several jobs and will soon be the director of the hospital.

Think about it, although I am a leader, this is the only job I have.

He often has to go out on missions and could be in danger at any time.

It’s better for me to have a promising wife, who has many positions, a high salary, and is not in any danger.

Gu Jingming was daydreaming while cooking skillfully.

He cooked two dishes and a soup today. Gu Xiu'an reacted when he smelled the fragrance. He quickly moved the small chair back and took the initiative to help serve the dishes and rice.

Gu Jingming prepared everything and urged Gu Xiu'an to call Ye Qingtao to eat.

"Go and call your sister-in-law over for dinner."

Gu Xiu'an nodded and ran to Ye Qingtao's door.

He knocked on the door politely, and only after Ye Qingtao said "come in" did she poke her little head out.

Gu Xiu'an opened his eyes wide and looked at her back quietly.

As soon as Ye Qingtao turned around, she saw the pair of big eyes with clear black and white.

Ye Qingtao smelled the fragrance of food through the crack in the door and immediately knew his intention.

"Xiu An, are you coming over to call me for dinner?"

"Um."

Gu Xiu'an made a forceful "hmm" sound through his nose.

"Okay, I'll be right over."

Ye Qingtao put the information into the drawer and went to eat with Gu Xiu'an.

Gu Jingming cooked more often and his cooking skills were even better than hers.

No wonder people say that men are born chefs.

Gu Jingming is actually quite talented in cooking.

It was a simple meal, but Ye Qingtao ate it with gusto.

Gu Xiu'an didn't eat very fast. When they all finished eating, he finished all the remaining food by himself.

It was also the first time that Gu Jingming witnessed Gu Xiu'an's ability to eat.

"Wife, did Xiu An not have enough for lunch? Why did he eat so much at night?"

Gu Jingming asked with some surprise, but it was not that he did not believe Ye Qingtao's meaning. He was just simply sighing that Gu Xiu'an ate too much.

"He ate about the same amount at noon."

Ye Qingtao smiled helplessly and answered his question.

Gu Xiu'an heard their conversation, raised his head and smiled shyly at Gu Jingming.

This smile says it all; what Ye Qingtao said is the truth.

This little guy can actually eat so much!

"I heard someone say that you arranged for Xiu'an to run this morning. Could it be that he ate so much because he exercised too much?"

Gu Jingming was still guessing. Ye Qingtao thought about it seriously and then nodded.

"I think it's very likely, but I didn't just let him run. I asked him to do aerobic exercise to improve his physical fitness and immunity, which will help his condition in the future."
