“Second sister.”
Gu Wen walked into the house eagerly, her eyes falling on Gu Wen on the bed, seemingly not seeing Madam Gu and Gu Yi a few people next to her, “How are you?”
As she said, she walked towards the bed, “I was scared to death when I received the news, how could you say you were so careless?”
“Big sister.”
Gu Wen, already much more refreshed, was leaning against the bed with the baby in the cradle next to her, and Mrs Gu and Gu Yi were gently rocking the cradle.
Gu Hui finished and “just saw” Mrs Gu and Gu Yi, “Mother, little brother.”
Mrs Gu nodded slightly, Gu Yi did not respond.
Gu Hui didn’t care either and sat down directly on the edge of the bed, “Luckily you’re fine, but this physique is too bad, I’ll bring you a hundred year old ginseng and some good bird’s nest over, you should take good care of it.”
“Thank you, big sister.”
“Our own sisters, what’s the point of being polite.”
“Uncle.”
Xiao Bao, who was then carried in by the maid, saw Gu Yi and happily held out his little hand towards him.
Gu Yi got up, picked it up and placed it on his lap.
Holding him with one hand, he pointed to the baby in the cradle with the other, “This is the younger brother.”
Little Bao opened his big eyes to look curiously.
“The boy just likes to play with his uncle.”
Gu Hui finished with a smile, looked around the house and didn’t see Song Wan Yue’s figure, so she asked with a smile, “I heard that Miss Song also followed, why can’t I see her?”
“She’s studying medicine with Dr. Yao.”
Even though she had many grievances against Gu Hui, Mrs. Gu was afraid that Gu Yi would open her mouth and embarrass her, so she took the words.
“Studying medicine with Dr. Yao?”
Gu Hui was surprised, Dr. Yao had been in the Gu family for many years and had never moved to take on an apprentice, how could he suddenly take on Song Wan Yue as his apprentice?
“Yes, Wen’er was saved by her.”
Gu Hui looked towards Gu Wen.
Gu Wen smiled and nodded, “Yes, at that time I had seen the face of the Solitary Kid, and it was Yue’er who pulled me back hard.”
“I can’t believe it was her!” Gu Hui couldn’t believe it.
When she heard the housekeeper say that Song Wan Yue had also come, she thought she was following Gu Yi and despised her. But she didn’t expect that the girl had learnt medicine from Dr. Yao.
She said, “So, she’s been taught by Dr. Yao?”
“Not that fast, she has only been learning for a month, it was Dr. Yao who said outside that she performed the needles on Wen’er, but she said something to stimulate Wen’er and pulled her back from the ghost gate.”
“Oh?”
Gu Hui was curious.
Gu Wen gave her the word.
“I felt that Miss Song was unusual at first, and now it seems that my eyes are still good.” Gu Hui listened and put gold on her own face, as if she had completely forgotten what she had done to Song Wan Yue.
“Uncle ……”
Little Bao’s childish voice rang out as he reached out his little hand to touch the infant, which was grabbed by Gu Yi, “Little brother is still too young to play with Little Bao.”
Xiao Bao withdrew his little hand and leaned honestly in Gu Yi’s arms.
Gu Yi got up with him in his arms, “I’ll carry him to Yue’er to play.”
From start to finish, not a word was said to Gu Hui.
When he went out, the smile on Gu Hui’s face disappeared, “Mother, what’s wrong with little brother? He’s not even paying attention to me.”
Mrs. Gu sighed silently, in the past, Yi’er and Gu Hui were the closest, and when they had anything good to eat or drink, they took it and ran to her first, but now ……
Gu Wen has always been a big-hearted one and did not notice the emotions of the two, “How did little brother ignore big sister? He only cares about the little treasure, big sister take a look, does my baby look good?”
Gu Hui padded over, “It looks good.”
……
Coming out of Gu Wen’s courtyard, Gu Hui took Lady Gu’s arm and followed her back to this side of the courtyard, and just after entering the courtyard door, she heard Xiao Bao’s cheerful laughter.
“Look, Bao’er is just close to little brother.”
The two of them walked into the house, Gu Yi had a cloth over his eyes and was reaching out to grab Little Treasure, who laughed and fled, his mouth screaming, “Uncle can’t catch me, can’t catch me.”
With his eyes running in front of Mrs Gu, Mrs Gu took the opportunity to draw her arm back and bend down to pick him up.
“Grandmother.”
Little Treasure cried in a childish voice, trying to get off of her.
“After such a head of sweat, you can’t run madly anymore, lest you get a wind chill.”
Madam Gu gestured for the maid to give her a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from Xiao Bao’s forehead.
Gu Yi took off the cloth covering her eyes and subsequently threw it on the table, walked over to the table herself and poured a glass of water, and was just about to drink when Xiao Bao yelled, “Uncle, I’ll drink too.”
“Come down.”
Xiao Bao went down and ran to him, raising his little face. Gu Yi squatted down and put his arm around him with one hand, passing the water to his mouth with the other and feeding him.
Xiao Bao gulped down a small half-jug before pushing it away. Gu Yi didn’t mind the dirt and drank the rest dry.
Gu Hui’s eyes flickered as she looked towards Song Wan Yue and took the initiative to greet her, “Miss Song.”
“Eldest sister.”
“Second sister thanks to you, thank you.”
“It’s all thanks to Dr. Yao, I didn’t do anything.”
Song Wangyue obviously didn’t want to say much to her, and after finishing this sentence, she said to Gu Yi, “It’s break time, I should go over.”
“Just in time, I probably didn’t sleep well last night, so I’ll go back and catch up on my sleep.”
Gu Yi also followed him over, and in the blink of an eye, only Madam Gu and Gu Hui were left in the house.
Madam Gu didn’t hold back and let out a long sigh.
“Mother ……”
Gu Hui was ten thousand times aggrieved and wanted to say something, Madam Gu waved her hand, “I’m also tired, go back and lie down for a while, make yourself comfortable.”
The woman’s mouth was open, but Mrs. Gu had already turned around and walked towards the inner room, and Gu Hui was so angry that she twisted the handkerchief in her hand into a ball.
……
The next day, Gu Hui spent the day with Gu Wen, giving her detailed advice on how to take care of the baby, although the family has a nurse, but you should still take care of your own.
Gu Yi spent the day playing with Xiao Bao and slept with him at night.
On the third day, it was already afternoon after washing the child, and Gu Hui was eager to go back, “The family business is busy, so since second sister is fine, I will go back. I’ll go back since second sister is fine.” “Little brother, when will you come to visit big sister at the beginning of the New Year?”
Since Gu Hui and Gu Wen got married, Gu Yi came to both families every year to pay New Year’s visits. In the past, he went to Gu Hui’s house on the second day of the Lunar New Year and came to Gu Wen’s house on the third day of the Lunar New Year.
“Let’s go on the sixth day of the first month, later this year.”
“OK, big sister will have someone prepare delicious food for you then.”
Xiao Bao hugged Gu Yi and wouldn’t let go, saying that he wanted Gu Yi to go with him, Gu Hui coaxed him, “Uncle still has things to do at home, when he’s done, he’ll go to our house.”
Only then did Xiaobao reluctantly wave to Gu Yi, “Uncle, Xiaobao will wait for you.”
As she watched their carriage go away, Mrs Gu was a little reluctant, if not for the fact that it was almost New Year, she really wanted to take Little Treasure back with her, she and Master Gu were old and loved children.
