It must be because he has been back for too long. Yunle misses Grandma Dong. What he thinks about during the day appears in his dreams at night. He dreamed of Grandma Dong at night.

Gu Yunxi shook her head. Seeing that Widow Cao had brought Qiao'er in, she smiled and greeted them, "Qiao'er, Aunt Cao, please take a seat."

"Let's have breakfast. Auntie, Yunle, and Qiao'er are making cushions at home. I'm going back to Dongpo Village to see my father."

Gu Yunle nodded and said, "Well, sister, go back by yourself and be careful."

She was relatively relieved about Gu Yunxi, but she was not at all relieved about the people in the old Gu family.

Gu Yunxi smiled and said, "I know, no need to worry about me!"

After breakfast, she asked He Dachun to hitch a horse-drawn carriage, take some meat and vegetables, and first go to Yang County to pick up the old doctor, and then go to Dongpo Village together.

When they returned to Dongpo Village, Old Mrs. Gu was picking her teeth in the yard with a thin, pointed wooden stick. When she saw Gu Yunxi coming, she just paused.

Gu Yunxi found it a little funny. The gaps between Mrs. Gu’s teeth were so big, yet she was still picking her teeth!

Besides, the old Gu family has no meat to eat, so where can they get anything to fill their teeth?

Shaking her head, she called out, "Grandma, have you eaten?"

Old Mrs. Gu didn't say anything, but just glared at Gu Yunxi coldly. Gu Yunxi was not angry either, and walked straight across the yard and into Boss Gu's house.

"Dad, why are you sitting here today? How are you feeling?"

As soon as Gu Yunxi entered the room, he saw Boss Gu sitting there, staring blankly out the window, not knowing what he was thinking.

After noticing Gu Yunxi's voice, Boss Gu came back to his senses, smiled and said, "Yunxi, you're here."

"Well, I didn't have time yesterday, so I came here today. Have you had breakfast?" Gu Yunxi sniffed indifferently.

Every time she entered the room and was alone with Boss Gu, she always had to find something to say, otherwise, she would feel a little awkward.

Hearing this, Boss Gu smiled and pointed to the empty bowl on the table, saying, "I've eaten. Your second aunt made some porridge for me. It goes well with pickled cabbage."

Actually, being sick is good, Boss Gu thought. Even if you are sick, you can still drink rice porridge every meal.

Under normal circumstances, he might not even be able to eat brown rice. When his family was short of food, he could only dig up some wild vegetables to fill his stomach.

There was even a year when there was a disaster and he even gnawed on the bark of the trees!

Compared to the past, life now is so much happier.

Gu Yun was happy to see that the bowl on the table was empty, without even a grain of rice, and nodded slightly.

It seems that even though she didn't come, Second Aunt actually listened to her advice and used the rice she left here.

If the second aunt had not been so greedy and had not been so gluttonous before, she would have been willing to help Yun Hong.

But after what happened, she had given up on this idea.

However, now that Second Aunt is willing to cook porridge for his father, if Yunhong goes to the provincial capital to take part in the imperial examination in the future, she would be willing to help out, just as a favor from Second Aunt.

"Dad, I asked the doctor to come over and give you a follow-up examination."

After saying that, Gu Yunxi waved towards the door, signaling the old doctor and He Dachun to come in and talk.

He Dachun held the medicine box for the old doctor and placed it on the table beside the bed with great respect and caution.

The old doctor didn't say anything and just took Boss Gu's pulse and examined him.

Looking at the tongue coating and facial features, the old doctor was a little surprised.

"Mrs. Lu, your father's health... is a little beyond my expectations." said the old doctor.

Hearing this, Boss Gu's expression tensed up. He hurriedly grabbed the old doctor's hand and asked, "Doctor, am I terminally ill? Am I going to die?"

"No, no, you are not going to die. You are recovering very well!" The old doctor was quite helpless and pulled his hand back from Boss Gu.

Boss Gu's face froze: "Ah? I recovered well?"

He was a little bit unbelieving, but more of it was ecstasy.

"Yunxi, did I hear correctly? The doctor just said that my body has not recovered much? So I don't have to die?"

Gu Yunxi saw her father's expression and nodded with a smile: "Yes, I heard it. That's exactly what the doctor said just now."

"Thank you, doctor. Thank you, doctor!" Boss Gu struggled to get up and kowtow to the doctor.

Fortunately, the doctor hurriedly stopped him: "Hey, don't be polite. To be honest, I can't figure it out myself. When I came here a few days ago, your heart pulse was in a mess, but now it is unusually stable."

"I don't know if my medicine worked, but as long as you're back on track, that's fine. I won't prescribe a new prescription for you. Just follow the previous one."

Boss Gu was very happy and nodded vigorously.

Gu Yunxi kept a faint smile on his face. He paid the consultation fee and medicine fee and said, "He Dachun, please send the doctor back and get the medicine at the same time."

He Dachun nodded, helped the old doctor carry the medicine box, helped him get into the carriage, and rushed towards Yang County.

Gu Yunxi turned around and looked at Boss Gu again. Seeing that Boss Gu was still immersed in the joy that he would not have to die, he shook his head and smiled.

She walked forward silently, picked up the kettle on the table, and said, "Dad, I'll go out and boil some water for you."

After saying that, she went out without waiting for Boss Gu's reply.

When they arrived at the yard, Old Mrs. Gu was still sitting there picking her teeth. When she saw Gu Yunxi coming out, she snorted coldly.

"You've got money but nowhere to spend it, you're a spendthrift. Your father is dying, and you keep asking doctors for help. You might as well use the money to buy me more food."

Hearing what Old Lady Gu said, Gu Yunxi looked at her coldly and felt even colder in the heart.

This old lady Gu is truly the best of the best!

If her father didn't look 70% similar to Old Lady Gu, she would really suspect that her father was not Old Lady Gu's biological son.

What kind of parents would treat their own son like this? They even worry about the money for their son's life-saving. What a joke!

Gu Yunxi rolled his eyes quickly, ignored Old Lady Gu, and went into the kitchen to boil water.

In fact, she didn't come out to fetch water at all, but directly drew spiritual spring water from the space, boiled a full pottery jar, and then poured it into the kettle.

"Dad, I've boiled the water. It's very hot. Wait until it cools down before drinking it."

Gu Yunxi gave Boss Gu a few instructions before coming out of the house and heading to Yuan's house next door.

Yuan family.

Uncle Yuan and eldest brother Yuan have already made the sofa!

Seeing Gu Yunxi coming, the whole family was very excited, especially Aunt Yuan, who immediately said, "Oh, Yunxi, you're here. I was just saying I was going to Dongpo Village to find you!"

"What kind of sofa is this? Your uncle Yuan and big brother just made it. Come and take a look. Is it like this?"

This was the first time for Yuan and his son to make a sofa. Although they followed the drawings given by Gu Yunxi throughout the process, they could not guarantee whether the result was correct.
