Chapter 470: Everything that should be done has been done
If you have food at home, you won’t be hungry. If you have no place to live, live in the corridor.
After their grandmother persuaded them several times, they finally made up their mind to transfer all their contribution points to Anjiu and let her buy it.
An Jiu took advantage of her free time to look for Ji Zhenzhen and Ji Mo, and told them to stock up and try not to keep any contribution points in their hands, but she wasn't sure whether they would buy in the end.
After all, everyone is an independent individual. She can't force them to go downstairs to stock up on goods, right?
Originally, An Jiu wanted to find Gan Qi, but he didn't know where her home was. He asked Ji Zhenzhen, but she didn't know either. In the end, he found out after asking Pu Huai.
He said: "I have a good memory, I know everyone's address information, just come to me next time and ask."
Although it was a bit strange, Anjiu still responded readily: "Okay."
The location of Gan Qi's house was not very good, but it was clean. When An Jiu knocked on the door, she happened to be at home. She was surprised to see An Jiu for a long time, and after listening to what An Jiu said, she was silent for a long time.
"...I understand. Thank you."
An Jiu's heart skipped a beat. She had meant to give a kind reminder, but she had forgotten that Gan Qi might not have any contribution points.
She asked softly, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
Gan Qi lowered his head, then raised it to look at her, his eyes slightly red, and said in a hoarse voice: "Can you lend me some contribution points? I want to buy medicine. My father has been coughing all winter, and now he is... coughing up blood."
At this time, a weak male voice came from the room behind her, "Who's outside? Are those bastards here again! Help me up quickly, cough cough, do you think you can bully my girl just because I'm sick? I tell you, you are thinking the wrong way! This time, I will beat all your teeth out, cough cough cough..."
"Dad! It's not them," Gan Qi bit her lower lip, "It's my friend who came."
"Friends? What friends? Hey, those bastards, don't think you can fool me with such an excuse! Close the door quickly and tell them to get away!"
"Dad, she's really a friend. I've told you about her before, An Jiu!" Gan Qi glanced at An Jiu awkwardly, "Why don't you come in and tell me?"
An Jiu: "That's fine, but I didn't have time to bring anything..."
"No, no!" Gan Qi opened the door, "Come in and sit down. Dad, Anjiu is here to see you."
The hut was not big, with a curtain full of holes hanging in the middle. There was a narrow single bed against the wall on the left, with the bedding neatly folded on it. It should be where Gan Qi slept.
Gan Qi closed the door and quickly walked to the curtain and lifted it a little. Her father was lying on the narrow bed behind.
He raised his upper body slightly, his eyeballs bulging out of his sallow face, his teeth clenched, his fists clenched, and he looked over with an angry look on his face.
"——Is this the friend you always talk about?"
Gan Qi fixed the curtain, "Yes, it's her. Anjiu, why don't you sit on my bed? There are no stools at home."
An Jiu greeted her father and sat naturally on the edge of Gan Qi's bed.
"Uncle, are you feeling better now?"
"He will get better slowly in the spring," Gan's father asked Gan Qi to help him up, with his back against the pillow, his eyes fixed on An Jiu. "It might be the wind that caught him. He has been coughing since last year. I guess he can't cough anymore. It will be disgraceful if he continues to cough."
An Jiu nodded, and thinking of what Gan Qi had just said, he said, "Take the medicine and you will get better quickly."
"Don't eat that stuff, cough cough," Gan's father waved his hand and said, "It's all a lie. Don't I know my own body? It will get better when the weather gets warmer. Why do I still eat that stuff cough?"
Gan Qi was a little anxious after hearing this, "Dad, I asked others, and they all said that you can't delay your illness any longer, you have to take medicine quickly, otherwise it will get worse!"
"That's not the case. I know what's going on." Father Gan turned around and faced her with the back of his head.
After a while, he turned around and looked at Anjiu again.
"Your child is good-looking, fair-skinned, and chubby, unlike my daughter, who is thin and small, like a wild child..." He took a moment to relax from coughing and said regretfully, "It's a pity that I am incompetent and I don't let her have enough food and warm clothes--"
"Dad! Stop talking!" Gan Qi stamped his feet, "Why do you always say these things!"
"Okay, okay, ahem, Dad won't say any more. I'm tired. You little sisters can talk, ahem."
Father Gan hung his head and lay weakly on the pillow, staring at the dark wall.
Gan Qi put the curtain down again, turned around and looked at An Jiu, scratching his hair embarrassedly, "He is a little sick and confused, don't mind it, he is not like this usually."
Anjiu smiled and shook his head to indicate that it was okay.
"Dad's condition is getting worse day by day. I've asked the doctor. If we delay treatment, his condition may get worse, and we'll have to spend more contribution points. I, I really can't do anything..."
There was not much work in the building in winter, and everyone was living off their savings. Fortunately, she and her father could barely make ends meet with the fish they had saved during the rainy season. But as she watched her father's cough getting worse day by day, she was helpless.
She wanted to take her father to hospital, but she didn't have the contribution points to buy medicine, and the medicine was too expensive.
Those people outside heard about the situation in her family from somewhere and came to her house every now and then, saying some nasty things, which made her father so angry that he became even sicker.
Anjiu understood her feelings very well. If her grandmother had been sick at the beginning, she would have faced the same dilemma, but she had no contribution points now.
"Did the doctor tell me what medicine to take? I have some leftovers at home. If it's the right medicine for you, I'll get it for you. You don't have to spend contribution points to buy it."
"Really?!" Gan Qi was shocked. "What medicine do you have at home? Last time the doctor told me to go buy some as soon as possible, saying that when the weather gets hot and cold, everyone gets sick easily, and the medicine will sell out quickly - do you really have any at home?"
An Jiu nodded heavily, "Really? Don't you remember the last time I was sick? I still have several boxes at home. It's a good opportunity to bring them to you. Otherwise, it would be a waste if the expensive ones expired."
Gan Qi rubbed his hands happily, wishing he could follow her back right now.
An Jiu saw what she was thinking and stood up, "Let's go get the medicine!"
Since the beginning of winter, Gan Qi rarely went out of the house unless it was necessary, so of course he had no idea that An Jiu had opened a small restaurant at home.
When she saw the iron door installed in the corridor, she said enviously, "Great! It's safer this way. Was it Captain Pu who installed it?"
Anjiu opened her mouth to explain, but then she thought that she might not be able to open a small restaurant in the future, so there was no need to explain a long list. Just then, grandma heard the noise and opened the door. She said:
"Grandma, did you hear us? Gan Qi, come in quickly and sit anywhere. I'll find some medicine for you."
