In the courtyard, everyone is afraid of the little boy who is so smart!

Chapter 607: Family-like Warmth

After finally finding the black market, it was in chaos. A mixed crowd of people surged in like a tide. The shrewd and cunning vendors had calculating gleams in their eyes, and the sounds of bargaining and quarreling were endless.

Wang Jianguo was in the middle of it all, his nerves were tense at all times. He had to be careful to guard against potential dangers around him, and rack his brains to deal with the vendors to ensure that he could buy genuine medicines. His body and mind were already exhausted to the extreme.

The extreme fatigue of the body was like surging waves, hitting him wave after wave. Every muscle felt like it was being pierced repeatedly by thousands of needles. The soreness spread throughout the body, and every bone seemed to be falling apart.

But even so, when he tightly grasped the medicine bottle that he had obtained with great difficulty, he felt relieved in his heart. This medicine was entrusted by Zhao Shuzhuo, and he had obtained it with great difficulty.

Now that he had the medicine in his hand, and thought about being able to help Zhao Shuzhuo, Wang Jianguo's heart, which had been hanging in the air for a long time, slowly settled down, and the heavy pressure seemed to be relieved a lot at once.

Perhaps it is the body's strong protest and it urgently needs to recover through rest.

Or perhaps it was the peace of mind he gained from having the medicine in his hands, which was like the sun in winter, warming and comforting him and completely relaxing his tense nerves.

As soon as Wang Jianguo closed his eyes, fatigue flooded over him like a broken dam, and he fell asleep in the blink of an eye.

In that picturesque dream, the sunlight seems to be carefully filtered golden gauze, gently falling on an open, green meadow. The breeze blows gently, the flowers and plants sway gracefully, and emit bursts of refreshing fragrance.

Wang Jianguo saw from afar that his good brother Du Xiaoye, whom he had been thinking about day and night, was walking towards him with a smile on his face and full of energy, followed by his grandmother and uncle's family.

Du Xiaoye was in good shape, his bright eyes sparkling with joy of reunion. He approached quickly, waved at him vigorously, and shouted:

"Jianguo, we're here to see you!"

Grandma took trembling steps, her steps were slow but firm, she held tightly in her hands a package wrapped in floral cloth, the wrinkles carved by the years on her face were filled with love, she kept muttering:

"My dear child, you have suffered a lot these days. Grandma brought you some of your favorite snacks. Come and have a try."

My uncle followed beside them, with a simple smile on his honest face. From time to time, he would lean over and whisper a few words to the family members beside him, as if he was sharing the joy of being together at the moment.

The family sat on the grass, their laughter and joy sounded like the chirping of birds. The warm and happy atmosphere was like the spring sun, surrounding Wang Jianguo tightly.

They all talked to each other, concerned about Wang Jianguo's recent situation and asked about every detail of his life.

Every question and every greeting is filled with deep affection, flowing into Wang Jianguo's heart like a trickle of water.

The dream was so realistic that it was amazing. Wang Jianguo could truly feel the warmth of the sun on his skin.

I can clearly hear the laughter of my family echoing in my ears, and I can touch the rough yet familiar texture of the cloth bag in my grandma's hand.

Every detail was carved to look lifelike, and every emotion was as rich and mellow as fine wine, making Wang Jianguo intoxicated and unwilling to wake up.

However, dreams are always no match for reality. After an unknown amount of time, a series of gentle and slightly hurried footsteps approached from afar, breaking the tranquility.

Then, a warm hand gently rested on Wang Jianguo's shoulder, and a familiar and concerned voice sounded in his ears:

"Jianguo, Jianguo, wake up quickly. Why are you sleeping here? It's so cold. What if you catch a cold?"

Wang Jianguo suddenly woke up from his sweet dream, and the warm and happy picture in front of him instantly shattered like a bubble.

Instead, there were the hospital's glaring white lights and cold, hard walls.

A strong sense of loss surged in his heart, as if he had suddenly fallen from a warm paradise into a cold ice cellar.

But soon, he forced himself to wake up, raised his sleepy eyes, and looked carefully. It turned out to be Grandma Dong.

Grandma Dong stood in front of him with a worried look on her face. She was wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket and her hair was a little messy. She must have just gotten up.

Wang Jianguo moved his fingers with difficulty, slowly feeling the coolness coming from his fingertips, and then tried hard to support his body with his arms. Every slight movement seemed extremely strenuous.

After a lot of effort, he slowly sat up and saw Grandma Dong with a concerned look on her face. He subconsciously wanted to force a smile to reassure her, but the curve of his mouth seemed a little stiff due to fatigue.

After clearing his dry and hoarse throat, Wang Jianguo said:

"Grandma Dong, I rushed to the hospital in the middle of the night. I was worried about my friend's condition the whole way. I walked like the wind and didn't dare to stop for a moment."

"After finally reaching the door of the ward, I looked through the small glass window. It was dark inside and quiet. I thought to myself that you must have been exhausted from taking care of the secretary all day and finally got a good night's sleep."

"I really can't bear to go in and disturb them at this time, so... I'll just stay in this corridor for a while."

Grandma Dong stood aside, looking at Wang Jianguo quietly, her eyes full of pity.

Looking at his messy hair, bloodshot eyes, and body trembling slightly from the cold, Grandma Dong's eyes couldn't help but redden. Her heart felt as if it was being pricked by thousands of tiny needles, causing unbearable pain.

She stepped forward, stretched out her hands that were old but still warm and strong, gently but tightly grasped Wang Jianguo's arm, and said hurriedly with a tone that was both angry and caring:

"Silly child, even if you are afraid of disturbing us, you can't just stand there freezing in this cold corridor without caring about anything!"

"It's so cold, the wind is as sharp as a knife. What if you get a headache, fever, cold or flu? Let's go inside with grandma to warm up. Don't delay any longer, let's go."

As she spoke, Grandma Dong exerted a little strength with her hands, and without question pulled Wang Jianguo towards Secretary Dong's ward.

After entering the ward, Grandma Dong first carefully pushed Wang Jianguo to sit on the chair beside the bed, which looked quite comfortable, as if she was afraid of hurting him.

Then she quickly walked to the thermos, gently lifted it, and steadily poured a cup of steaming hot water. The rising hot steam instantly made the ward a little warmer.
