Chapter 77: Third Elder Brother’s Letter Arrives
Gu Qingyao’s lips twitched . Just as well that they were not back yet . She would make dinner for her grandparents .
Then she realized that there was no need to cook dinner, or the two of them might arrive while she was cooking . So she just took food from her interspace .
Her grandparents returned at that moment . Gu Qingyao shouted, “Grandfather, Grandma, hurry and wash your hands . It’s time to eat!”
The two of them were taken aback . Time to eat?
They did not know that Gu Qingyao had good food at hand . Right now, this girl decided what the family ate . The two of them did not ask any questions . If Gu Qingyao said it was time to eat, they would eat .
Gu Qingyao brought the rice and dishes straight to the old folks’ room . It was colder on the northern side so the two old folks slept on a heated brick bed . There was a small table on the bed, just right for having a meal .
On the tray was a dish of pork stir-fried with garlic, a dish of braised eggplants, and a bowl of chicken soup .
She had boiled the chicken soup earlier . For the sake of convenience, some of the chicken had been minced before boiling . Now she took out a portion . There were only three of them and they could not possibly finish it all .
The Old Master looked emotional when he saw the food .
Wen Ruyu smiled . “Hurry up and eat, then Yao Yao can clear up after we’ve eaten . ”
“Yes, yes!” The Old Master responded and hurried to eat .
The two old folks were tense and afraid of being discovered . They ate as if they were fighting a war .
Gu Qingyao laughed . “Grandfather, Grandma, don’t worry . I’ve closed the main door . We will have advanced warning if someone comes . ”
“But we still have to be careful!”
Older people were always cautious .

After they had eaten, Gu Qingyao cleared up . It was almost dark . In order to save kerosene, most farmers went to bed early .
The Gu family was no exception .
Gu Qingyao washed herself in her room . When it was dark, she entered her interspace to knit a sweater for Mo Beihan .
Zhang Xiaohui and Gu Ruoqing only hurried home when the sky was fully dark . When she saw that the Gu house was pitch dark and silent, she knew that no one had left her any dinner .
She did not care, but just grunted coldly and went to her room to sleep .
Wang Guozhu had brought them to eat while they were in town . Why would they mind missing out on the coarse countryside food?
Her father, Gu Yunshen, only returned in the evening of the second day . After another three days, she finally received a letter from Gu Qingyao’s third elder brother, who lived in the provincial capital .

Gu Jinlin said that his father had suffered a relapse and his mother was in poor health . A few of his friends had also fallen ill and were unable to recover despite seeing many doctors . He asked if Gu Yunshen would make a trip to see them .
He even described the condition of some of the patients .
Gu Yunshen read the letter, and indeed, their conditions could be more effectively treated with traditional Chinese medicine .
Things must be really serious for Third Uncle’s family to send a letter . As the two older folks lived with them, the family would not lightly request Gu Yunshen to leave the home . Instead, they came to visit the older folks or sent things to their house .
If they were asking Gu Yunshen to go, it must be critical .
So both Gu Yunshen and the two older folks decided that he should make a trip there .
“Just go! The autumn harvest is long over, and there is nothing important to do now,” Gu Chonghua said .

Gu Qingyao added, “Don’t worry, Father . I will take good care of Grandfather and Grandma . Anyway, Elder Brother Beihan is still home! Nothing will go wrong . ”
Gu Yunshen nodded . He packed his doctor’s tools and made his preparations .
Gu Qingyao busied herself preparing food and luggage .
Gu Yunshen cooked the last meal they had before he left . Although he made a simple meal, he managed to get hold of some pork ribs to make pork rib soup . He divided it into two portions . He gave half to Gu Ruoqing and the other half to Zhang Xiaohui . There was none for Gu Qingyao and the two older folks .
Zhang Xiaohui was rather surprised .
Gu Yunshen said, “I’m about to leave, and it will be some time before I return . Stay at home and take care of the older folks . And you, Qingqing, behave yourself . ”
Zhang Xiaohui laughed . So he was trying to soften her up .
But Gu Qingyao was staring at the bowl of soup . There was something in there!
