Aunt Liu hugged Gu Xiu'an into her arms and rubbed his hair hard a few times.

"It's great that our Xiu'an can talk now. When do you plan to come back and live with us?"

Gu Xiu'an shook his head and squeezed out a few words with difficulty.

"Stay with my sister-in-law."

"Are you planning to stay with your sister-in-law forever?"

Aunt Liu asked in surprise, and Gu Xiu'an nodded firmly.

"But isn't this a bad idea? I heard that your sister-in-law is pregnant and will have her own child in the future. If you keep following them for a long time, I'm afraid it won't be good."

Aunt Liu originally thought that she would bring Gu Xiu'an here to stay after he recovered.

The brothers have company when they are together and can take care of each other.

But I didn't expect that Gu Xiu'an was such a big idea. He had his own opinions at such a young age.

"It's okay, I'll help my sister-in-law take care of the children."

Gu Xiu'an smiled slightly. In his opinion, his sister-in-law was a workaholic and definitely didn't have enough time to take care of the children.

By the time my brother and sister-in-law's child was born, he was almost seven years old and could help with many things.

Aunt Liu was stunned again. She didn't expect that the child could be so open-minded.

"But you are a child yourself."

Aunt Liu wanted to persuade him, but Gu Xiu'an had made up his mind.

“I’m grown up!”

Gu Xiu'an raised his little head and spoke in an extremely firm tone.

Aunt Liu tried to persuade him again and again, but Gu Xiu'an insisted on his own opinion.

In the end, she realized that there was no way she could persuade the little guy to come back.

"Okay, you can do whatever you want, but if you are wronged at your brother and sister-in-law's house in the future, remember to come back to us."

"The door of our home is always open for you, and you are always welcome to come back!"

"Um."

Gu Xiu'an smiled and nodded, then stretched his neck to look into the house.

"Where's my brother?"

"Xiuyuan has gone to school, and Xiuping is taking a nap upstairs."

"Wait here for a moment. I'll go get Xiuping to play with you."

"No, I'm leaving now."

Gu Xiu'an looked into the house again and made sure that his brothers were not at home, so he began to think about leaving.

"Now that you're here, are you really not going to come back and sit for a while?"

Aunt Liu hasn't seen Gu Xiu'an for a while, and she still misses him when she looks at him now.

"No."

My sister-in-law told him not to meet his family until he fully recovered.

Gu Xiu'an always kept his sister-in-law's words in mind, and he came back just to take a look this time.

Gu Xiu'an originally wanted to ask about his brother's studies, but given his current condition, it was difficult for him to say anything.

He couldn't speak in long sentences or very coherent words.

My sister-in-law said that he still needs to continue treatment, otherwise he may become a stutterer in the future.

"You can speak now, right? Why can't you come in and sit for a while?"

Aunt Liu was a little anxious and reached out to pull his arm.

Gu Xiu'an held onto the door frame and refused to come in, shaking his little head like a rattle.

"Not fully recovered yet."

Aunt Liu realized belatedly that every word Gu Xiu'an said was very short.

And there is a pause between each sentence.

"So that's how it is, but it's actually okay. You're much better now and you'll be like a normal person soon."

"I made your favorite sweet-scented osmanthus cake today. Would you like to come in and have some before you leave?"

Gu Xiu'an hesitated for a moment and finally spoke.

"I want to take it back for my sister-in-law to eat."

Aunt Liu was stunned at first and then she laughed.

"What's wrong with you? Ever since you followed your sister-in-law home, you have treated her as your real mother."

"Wait here, I'll get it for you."

Aunt Liu can now live here peacefully and accompany these children to grow up, in fact, Ye Qingtao also contributed a lot.

Ye Qingtao is pregnant now, so it's normal for her to be a little greedy.

Under normal circumstances, she should have her mother-in-law by her side to take care of her in her current situation.

But she has no mother-in-law, so she has to support herself.

Aunt Liu often heard about Ye Qingtao from other people.

They said she was a great doctor who had saved countless lives and continued to work even with a big belly.

She also heard that Ye Qingtao is now the director of the military hospital and has to manage the hospital's affairs every month.

Whenever Aunt Liu heard news about her, she felt nothing but admiration and worry.

She was wondering, how could this little girl be so capable?

Although he is only in his early 20s, he already possesses extraordinary medical skills.

Not only that, she has two jobs that everyone envies.

Not only is she so strong herself, she can also motivate those around her.

Previously, these children were either lame, mute, or had a heart disease.

None of the three children were well, but unexpectedly, all of them were cured by her within a few months.

Aunt Liu wrapped a large bag of osmanthus cake in oil paper and handed it to Gu Xiu'an with a smile.

"Xiu'an, this sweet-scented osmanthus cake is for your sister-in-law and you. If your sister-in-law wants to eat any cake, you can ask someone to bring a message to me. I will prepare it in advance and send it to you."

"Also, you must eat well at noon at home. Why don't you move in? I think your sister-in-law is having a hard time with her pregnancy. I can help take care of her with me."

Aunt Liu talked a lot, and in the end she still wanted them to move in.

Gu Xiu'an took the hot osmanthus cake, smiled and said thank you.

As for Aunt Liu's suggestion of asking them to move in, Gu Xiu'an knew that his sister-in-law would definitely not agree.

Moreover, he is currently studying medicine with his sister-in-law, but has not yet made any achievements, so he wants to keep this matter secret for the time being.

My sister-in-law has a lot of medicinal herbs at home, and there are also many herbs planted at the door. If he leaves like this, he will lose a lot of fun in the future.

"No."

Gu Xiu'an took the initiative to refuse, and Aunt Liu sighed heavily.

"You kid, your sister-in-law is pregnant and can't take care of you. If you stay there, she will be more tired. Can you really bear it?"

Aunt Liu spoke her mind in excitement. Fortunately, her tone was normal, otherwise she was really afraid of hurting the child.

"No, I will take care of her!"

Gu Xiu'an clenched his fists and said with a firm look.

Aunt Liu smiled and shook her head, emphasizing it again.

"But you are just a child, you need someone to take care of you."

"Big Brother will take care of us."

Whenever Gu Jingming came back from the army, he would start cooking without stopping, and Gu Xiu'an would go over to help.

Although he is young, he can help with many things and reduce the burden on his brother and sister-in-law.

"Gu Jingming is exhausted in the army every day, and he still has to take time to take care of you. Can't you let him have a good rest?"

Aunt Liu didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this, but Gu Xiu'an didn't give her a chance to speak again. Instead, he ran away with the osmanthus cake in his arms.
