Chapter 103 Making a Medical Visit on a Snowy Day

Gu Jianing went to open the door and saw a soldier guarding the gate of the military region.

"Sister-in-law, there's a little boy named Qin Tian from Kaoshan Village outside. He says he has something urgent to tell you..." Xiaobing said as soon as they met.

Qin Tian? What's he doing here?

Qin Tian had delivered herbs twice before, but he stopped coming after heavy snow blocked the mountain. They had agreed to come again in the spring.

Why are you here to see her? Is there something urgent?

Gu Jianing had a good impression of Qin Tian and Qin Qing, especially Qin Tian. Although he was younger, he seemed much more mature and stable than his older sister, Qin Qing. Because their parents were not around, and there was an elderly woman in the family who was not in good health, he had taken on the responsibility of supporting the family at a young age.

Gu Jianing has always liked children, and she couldn't help but feel even more affection for well-behaved and sensible children.

"Okay, I'll go see him."

Thinking that Qin Tian might have some urgent matter, Gu Jianing decided to go see him anyway.

As soon as he got back inside, while he was getting dressed, Sheng Zexi, who had just finished washing the dishes, came over and asked him something.

Gu Jianing explained the situation to him.

"I'll go with you."

"it is good."

As the couple walked over, they spotted a small figure standing at the entrance of the military compound, peeking inside from time to time.

It was snowing heavily today, and Sheng Zexi was worried that Gu Jianing would get wet, so he held an umbrella for her and wrapped her up tightly.

But in the heavy snow, that small figure was not holding an umbrella. When Gu Jianing got closer, she saw that his clothes were very thin. His cotton-padded jacket looked very thin and old, with many patches on it.

The little guy was almost completely covered in snow, and his face was red from the cold.

Gu Jianing frowned and whispered something to Sheng Zexi. Then Sheng Zexi glanced at Qin Tian, ​​handed the umbrella to Gu Jianing, and turned to run back.

"Sister Gu."

When Gu Jianing walked up to Qin Tian with an umbrella and shielded him from the sun, Qin Tian's eyes reddened and his voice choked with emotion.

"Sister Gu, Grandma is very ill. The doctor says he can't cure her. Sister Gu, please, please save my grandma, please..."

When Qin Tian talked about his grandmother's illness, he cried uncontrollably, tears streaming down his face.

Gu Jianing stepped forward, gently put her arm around him, took out a handkerchief to wipe the tears from his face, and comforted him, saying, "Don't cry first. Tell me what happened first, so I can determine if I have the ability to help you."

With Gu Jianing's reassurance, Qin Tian's emotions stabilized somewhat, and he explained Qin's grandmother's situation in detail.

Speaking of which, Qin Tian and his sister first met Gu Jianing at the market. At that time, Grandma Qin was sick and kept coughing.

Later, after selling the medicinal herbs, Qin Tian finally had enough money to hire the village's barefoot doctor to treat the old woman. After taking the medicine, the old woman's condition began to improve.

For a while, Grandma's health had been quite good.

Before the heavy snow blocked the mountain pass, Qin Tian, ​​who had finally saved some money by selling medicinal herbs with Gu Jianing, also bought some grain. Although it wasn't much, if he ate it sparingly, he could still get through the cold winter.

Unexpectedly, a few days ago, the old lady got up early to cook, but she got up too quickly and became dizzy and fainted. At that time, it was raining heavily, and the sound of the rain covered the sound of the old lady falling. Qin Tian and his sister, who were sleeping in the next room, did not hear the sound.

By the time Qin Tian discovered her, Grandma Qin had been lying on the ground for almost an hour.

Later, Qin Tian braved the rain to fetch a doctor. With the doctor's help, Grandma Qin woke up, but she developed a fever that day.

The doctor said it was due to cold entering the body. Later, Qin Tian spent almost all his money and spent two days and two nights trying to get the old woman's fever to subside.

But then the old lady started coughing...

"...Today, Grandma coughed up blood. She didn't want my sister and me to see it, but I still saw it."

"The village doctor took a look and said that Grandma has tuberculosis, and he can't cure it. Maybe she could be cured if she went to a hospital in a big city. Waaah, Sister Gu, what is tuberculosis? Is tuberculosis really that hard to cure..."

Gu Jianing frowned. If it really was tuberculosis, then it was indeed quite difficult to treat in this era.

Can she cure it?

Gu Jianing thought that if she were to bind herself to Granny Qin as a patient, and the system analyzed the symptoms, she could then learn how to treat her.

Qin Tian and his sister have no parents and live with their grandmother. If the old lady passes away, the two siblings will probably be bullied to death.

"Don't worry, I'll go back with you and take a look," Gu Jianing agreed.

"Thank you, thank you, Sister Gu."

At this moment, Sheng Zexi returned, carrying a thick cotton-padded coat.

Gu Jianing took it and draped it over Qin Tian's shoulders before he could react. The latter was stunned, "Sister Gu..."

"It's so cold, and you're still a child, you should wear more clothes."

Qin Tian looked at the brand-new cotton-padded coat he was wearing, which contrasted sharply with his own plain, thin, and patched cotton-padded coat.

He never expected that Sister Gu would have her husband get him a cotton-padded coat. Qin Tian was deeply moved, and tears welled up in his eyes again.

"Sister Gu, no, I can't accept it." Although he was poor, Qin Tian wasn't the type to take advantage of others.

Qin Tian was about to take it off, but Gu Jianing held him down. "Don't take it off, Qin Tian. You have to think about it. Now your grandma is sick. If you get sick too, then this family will only be able to rely on Qin Qing, a young girl. Can she manage?"

Qin Tian was stunned.

So, wear it.

Qin Tian understood Gu Jianing's thoughts, his eyes filled with gratitude. He nodded and agreed, but silently kept everything in his heart.

He will repay Sister Gu, he definitely will.

Gu Jianing turned around and briefly explained what had just happened to Sheng Zexi.

Sheng Zexi frowned slightly and then relaxed, saying, "I'll go borrow a car and drive with you."

Sheng Zexi was somewhat reluctant to let Gu Jianing go out in such cold weather, fearing that she might catch a cold and get sick, especially since she was pregnant.

But Ningning agreed. Sheng Zexi had heard her talk about the Qin family before and knew that she cared for the Qin siblings.

Since we can't stop them, we can only go together. Driving there will also protect us from the cold wind and heavy snow.

Gu Jianing looked at Sheng Zexi and softly hummed in agreement. She knew that Brother Xi was doing this for her sake, always thinking of her in many small details of life.

To put it bluntly, she's even more caring than her parents.

When Sheng Zexi arrived in his car, the group got in. Sheng Zexi noticed that Gu Jianing was looking at him with such tenderness that it seemed to melt his heart.

Sheng Zexi's ears burned slightly. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
