"The girl does things, my old man can rest assured." This night, the old man finally showed a relieved smile. He closed his eyes again and waved at her, "Having said so much, my old man is also tired, you go out, let me have a good rest." ”

"Okay, then I won't bother, uncle have a good rest." After talking about it for a long time, Gu Mingqin was also tired. Help the old man fold the quilt, get up and leave. When he walked to the door, he suddenly remembered something, looked back at the old man, hesitated for a moment and said, "Uncle, today I came back from the medicine field and went to Dr. Tong's house. ”

Hearing this, the old man opened his eyes again: "How's the situation?" ”

"I didn't see anyone, but I just heard from the neighbor's aunt that Dr. Tong left more than a month ago."

"More than a month ago?" The old man frowned, as if he was puzzled, and as if he couldn't believe it.

Gu Mingqin nodded: "According to her, it was one night, and Dr. Tong hurriedly went to find her, told her that he was leaving, and handed her the key, saying that she would sell the house." ”

"Sold?"

"That's true, and later, I pretended to be a buyer and went in to have a look. I found that Dr. Tong only brought a change of clothes and bedding, and nothing else, especially so many medical books, which were still there, neatly arranged, all of them were dusty, and it seemed that no one had touched it for a long time. Gu Mingqin said this, suddenly had a flash of inspiration, thought of something, and hurriedly added, "I observed it, and there seems to be a book missing on the shelf." Because the rest of the places are neatly arranged, only that one, there is a gap, it doesn't look big, and in my opinion, the book is not too thick. ”

After saying that, I saw the old man on the bed brushing his beard and frowning, as if he was thinking about something. Gu Mingqin didn't dare to disturb at first, but after a long time, he was a little impatient, and couldn't help but call a few times: "Uncle, uncle......"

Gu Xin shuddered, as if he came to his senses in an instant: "Is there something wrong?" ”

"Second uncle, the matter of Dr. Tong ......"

"People have their own ambitions, and you don't care about his business, after all, good birds choose trees to perch. Fortunately, there are three other doctors, and our Gu Medical Center can also persevere. One day, when Yue Chong grows up and inherits this medical hall, we can be completely relieved. ”

Hearing him say this, Gu Mingqin couldn't help but nodded, yes, Yue Cheng didn't study medical skills, studied official ways, and only Yue Chong inherited the family business. But now he is only an eight-year-old child, he can't do anything, and it will take a long time to inherit the family business. And during this time, he can only spend it with him.

"Girl, the Gu family's future days will all depend on you."

Just thinking about this, Gu Mingqin was stunned when he suddenly heard this. Looking up, the old man looked at himself, his eyes full of pity and expectation. Such a gaze moved Gu Mingqin for no reason, and his blood boiled: "Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely do my best to take care of my younger siblings and take care of the hospital." One day, when Yue Chong grew up, he handed over a complete Gu Clan Medical Hall to him. ”

After hearing this, Gu Xin nodded heavily, relieved. Just remembering one thing, I couldn't help but feel uneasy: "What did you say in front of your second uncle just now...... You and that Du Gongzi ......" Before he finished speaking, he saw the girl silently bowing her head with a sad expression. Gu Xin could only close his mouth and look at her quietly. After a long time, the girl looked up at him and smiled—

"Uncle, don't worry, don't say that Daddy died, filial piety comes first; What's more, my younger siblings are young, and as the eldest sister and eldest daughter, I naturally take the place of my parents and raise my younger siblings, and my granddaughter will never leave this family until they start a family. As for personal marriage......" Speaking of this, Gu Mingqin lowered his head slightly, paused for a moment, and then raised his head again to look at the old man, and said four words calmly, "Everything depends on fate." ”

When Gu Xin heard this, he was stunned at first, and then burst into tears. patted her on the shoulder and nodded heavily: "Good boy, really a good boy." Don't worry, as long as my old man is still alive, even if his Du family goes back on his word, my old man will make a good choice for you and marry you to a good family. ”

Gu Mingqin pursed her lips and smiled when she heard him say this. Thinking of something, I couldn't help but ask the old man's opinion: "Second uncle, I went to the medicine field today, and they told me that because of the scarcity of rainfall this year, some medicinal herbs have not been harvested well, and I am afraid that I need to go out to buy them." When I first arrived, I was a girl, and I was afraid that those people would not be convinced and secretly do something, so I thought of sending a trustworthy person to go with them. After thinking about it, I felt that the third uncle was the most suitable. ”

Seeing that the old man frowned, puzzled, afraid that he would misunderstand, Gu Mingqin went on to explain: "I think so, although the third uncle is a scholar, he is honest, and he is more trustworthy than the second uncle, let him go out, at least don't worry about him spending money indiscriminately; Secondly, it is still that reason, the current situation of the Gu family can't afford to raise idlers, whether it is the second uncle or the third uncle, I am ready to arrange for them to do something. Whether it is done well or not is one aspect. As long as the two uncles are willing to do things, there is hope for the future of the Gu family. Uncle, do you think I'm right? ”

Gu Xin smiled and nodded: "Okay, girl, don't hide it, you say that, it also speaks to my heart." Earlier, I reminded your father to let him arrange for two people to do things, but he just didn't feel at ease. If he had made arrangements earlier, the two of them wouldn't have become what they are now. As he spoke, the old man sighed bitterly. Suddenly remembered something, and looked up at the girl, "Your third uncle, do you want me to help you talk about it?" ”

"No need, I've already thought about it, and I'll go there myself tomorrow to show my sincerity. If the uncle really wants to help, you can go to the medicine field and see the second uncle......"

"I understand what you mean, you can rest assured to go to the third child, the second child, I will send someone to watch."

"Then thank you, uncle." Gu Mingqin bowed slightly to express her gratitude, "If there is nothing else to do with my uncle, the little girl will not bother." Seeing the old man close his eyes and wave his hand at himself, obviously extremely tired, Gu Mingqin felt guilty, gently opened the door, turned away quietly, and carefully closed the door.

Unable to hear the sound anymore, the old man on the bed reopened his eyes and looked ahead, at the closed door. As if helpless, he sighed deeply......

Leaving the room and walking in the courtyard, Gu Mingqin looked up at the sky and breathed a sigh of relief. The story that Gu Xin told himself was so shocking that he needed to find a place to sit down and digest it quietly.

For Gu Mingqin, the shock of this story is not only the hardships of the two brothers starting from scratch, but also the cruelty of the Toray people. Although she didn't see it with her own eyes or experience it herself, she still remembered the tears in the old man's eyes and the trembling all over her body when she talked about it, which showed that the old man was angry and excited. If it weren't really unbearable for people to look at directly, after many years, how could the old man still remember it vividly?

This made Gu Mingqin couldn't help but feel more worried, if the so-called plague formula fell into Chen Jinxian's hands, and then passed through him and handed to the Toray people, it would probably be a catastrophe for the whole world. But the question now is, is that really the case? It was really that Chen Jinxian killed his father for the so-called plague formula; Is he really working with Toray? What my uncle said made sense, but I have to admit that what he said was nothing more than speculation.

In Gu Mingqin's impression, Chen Jinxian is still an amiable uncle. I think that at the beginning, when the two families still had contacts, every time Uncle Chen came over, he would bring him a lot of delicious and fun food. During the Chinese New Year, my father would also take his four sisters and brothers to Chen's house as guests. At that time, my father and Chen Jinxian were brothers, and the two families were like a family. Gu Mingqin really couldn't believe that he, Chen Jinxian, would kill his father and his brother.

But the two families have not been in contact for a long time, but it is a fact.

Although the uncle said so much just now, Gu Mingqin still keenly felt that there were some things that the second uncle did not say. Not tired, not forgetting, but concealing, deliberately concealing. Especially about Tong Zhihou, Gu Mingqin always had a feeling that his uncle knew something. But what is it, my uncle is unwilling to tell him.

Why, Dr. Tong suddenly left Shanghai, and is his departure related to his father's death? All the questions poured into his mind in an instant, leaving Gu Mingqin confused and unable to find answers.

"Big Sister ......"

Just thinking about things, Gu Mingqin was startled by a sudden call, turned around suddenly, saw someone coming, and patted his chest gently: "Yue Cheng, it's so late, why don't you rest?" ”

"I'm not sleepy." Gu Yuecheng replied casually, as if instinctively, and glanced behind his sister, "Uncle, you're already resting?" ”

Gu Mingqin nodded: "Uncle is old, there are a lot of things that happened today, he is too tired, so he will rest early." What about Mingyin and Yue Chong, have they already been arranged? ”

"Sister, don't worry, after eating, I will arrange for them to rest." Gu Yuecheng said this, looking at his sister, he was hesitant, and he seemed to want to speak.

"Do you have something to say to me?" Gu Mingqin got straight to the point. The other party pursed his lips, his face was embarrassed, as if he was hesitant. Gu Mingqin was also polite, "You come into the house with me, it just so happens that I have something to say to you." Then he ignored him and walked on.

Gu Yuecheng stood in place, as if he was stunned, and after a long while, he called: "Eldest sister......" hurriedly followed.

In the bedroom—

"Miss, you haven't eaten for a day, I asked the kitchen to leave dinner and heat it up for you, no matter what, eat more or less." The housekeeper Gu Zhong personally brought the meal, put it in front of her, and gently comforted her.

"Uncle Zhong, thank you, it's really troublesome." Gu Mingqin expressed her gratitude.
