651 Gratitude
It was just dawn when someone knocked on the courtyard door outside.
Su Jinyue stepped forward and opened the door, and saw Guo Ying who was outside the door, "Sister Kong."
"Sister Su, I made these steamed buns in the morning. You can try them. If they are delicious, I will make them tomorrow." Guo Ying handed the basket in her hand to Su Jinyue. Su Jinyue cured her, but she didn't know how to repay her, and she couldn't do anything else, except that this steamed bun was fine.
"Thank you!" Su Jinyue took the basket and stepped aside, "Come in and sit down for a while." On the day of her wedding, Guo Ying didn't go to the restaurant for dinner. Sister-in-law Wang, who lived next door to her, said that it was because of Guo Ying. children are unwell.
"No, my little one's body is still a little uncomfortable, I have to go back to take care of him." Guo Ying said. She was really embarrassed that she couldn't go to Su Jinyue's wedding that day. Su Jinyue gave her so much help, but she couldn't even afford the wedding.
"What's wrong?" Su Jinyue asked.
"It's just a little fever, it's much better." Guo Ying said, with a trace of sadness on her face. In the past few days, the child has been having a high fever and went to the hospital to see it. The doctor said it was pneumonia.
"Wait for me, I'll go take a look with you." Su Jinyue turned around and walked back to the yard.
"No, it's really fine." Guo Ying wanted to stop Su Jinyue, but Su Jinyue had already walked in.
Looking gratefully at Su Jinyue's back, Guo Ying raised her hand and wiped her wet eyes. She was really embarrassed to trouble Su Jinyue again. Su Jinyue had already helped her once, how could she trouble her again.
After a while, Su Jinyue came out and handed the empty basket to Guo Ying, "Let's go."
"I really don't need to bother, I have already prepared the medicine." Guo Ying was really embarrassed to bother Su Jinyue again.
Su Jinyue smiled, "I'm fine anyway, I'll go to your house and sit down."
"Thank you!" Guo Ying said gratefully. Since she came to the compound, she has been looked down upon by others. Su Jinyue was the first person who treated her well, and she really didn't know how to repay her.
"Sister Su!"
"Sister Su!" Su Jinyue was greeted constantly along the way, but they didn't seem to see Guo Ying.
"My family is poor, and my health is not good all the time, so everyone ignores me." Guo Ying said bitterly. She also wanted to go out to find a job, and wanted to be looked up to, but her body was weak.
Before she reached Guo Ying's house, Su Jinyue heard a series of coughs, "Sister Kong, does your child have pneumonia?"
"How did you know?" Guo Ying looked at Su Jinyue in surprise. She didn't tell anyone, only that the child was not feeling well.
"I judged it from the sound of his cough." Su Jinyue said. The cough sounds of pneumonia patients are relatively short.
"You are really amazing." Guo Ying said with a look of admiration. When she took the child to the hospital for a check-up, she did several tests before finding out that the child had pneumonia.
Guo Ying opened the door, and Su Jinyue saw a seven- or eight-year-old child sitting at the table of the Eight Immortals, coughing and doing homework.
"Xiao Qi, this is Auntie, call someone quickly." Guo Ying said to Xiao Qi.
"Auntie! Cough, cough..." Xiao Qi shouted obediently.
Su Jinyue smiled and nodded. Judging from Xiao Qi's face, he should have been sick for several days. Although his illness has improved a little, it will take about a week to get well.
"Have you taken the medicine?" Guo Ying asked. Xiaoqi still had a bad cough after taking the medicine, so she asked the school for two days off, and wanted him to have a good rest, but the child still held a book every day and did his own homework. She has said it several times, but it still doesn't work.
Xiaoqi nodded, "I have eaten."
Su Jinyue walked to the opposite side of Xiaoqi and sat down, looking at his homework, his handwriting was very correct, and every stroke was serious, "Xiaoqi, why don't you rest well when you are sick?"
"I want to finish the homework for the past two days...cough...cough...cough...cough...I don't want to procrastinate too much..." Xiao Qi didn't stop writing, still writing seriously.
"Why are you studying so hard?" Su Jinyue asked.
"I have to be a useful person...cough cough...Dad said there is culture...cough cough...can I become a useful person..." Xiao Qi said with a longing look.
Su Jinyue's eyes showed a hint of admiration, and she took out a medicine and handed it to Xiao Qi, "Take this medicine, you will stop coughing, and you can study hard."
"Cough cough... Really?" Xiao Qi raised his head and looked at the pill in Su Jinyue's hand. He also wanted to get better from his illness faster, and to go back to school to study with his classmates sooner.
"Yeah." Su Jinyue smiled and nodded.
"Thank you auntie...cough cough..." Xiao Qi reached out and took the medicine in Su Jinyue's hand and put it in her mouth.
Guo Ying came out of the kitchen with a cup of sugar water, and handed the sugar water to Su Jinyue, "Drink the sugar water." These white sugars were exchanged for Sister Zhang with the wedding candies that Su Jinyue gave her last time.
"Thank you!" Su Jinyue took the ceramic cup with a smile.
"It should be me thanking you. You cured my disease, and now you have given me a little strange medicine. I really don't know how to repay you." Guo Ying looked at Su Jinyue gratefully.
Su Jinyue smiled and shook her head, "Are you usually at home alone? Have you ever thought about going out to work?" She could see that their lives were very poor.
Guo Ying smiled bitterly, "I've looked for it, but no one wants me."
"Then what will you do?" Su Jinyue asked.
Guo Ying thought for a while, and said a little embarrassedly, "I can only make steamed buns."
