Xu Laosan's beating was indeed swift and intense, a mixed doubles match, and the audience was very supportive, not only watching him fight but also occasionally adding fuel to the fire.

Xu Laosan felt that his family members were all abnormal. Every time he was beaten, they not only didn't try to stop the fight, but they also always seemed to be provoked.

Didn't you say you were very anxious because you couldn't find him?

Where is the anxiety? If you were anxious, shouldn't you be holding him and calling him your darling?

Two years ago, when his sister had an accident, his parents held her and kept calling her their precious darling. Why didn't he receive the same treatment when it was his turn?

Xu Laosan expressed his dissatisfaction.

At the same time, Xu Laosan once again began to doubt whether he was his biological son.

That night, the members of Xujia Village Brigade all fell asleep to the sound of Xu Laosan's cries, and their dreams were filled with the sounds of opera.

The next day, everyone in the Xu family got up late. Xu Yaozu didn't even eat breakfast; he just grabbed a pancake and went to work, and the wheels of his bicycle were sparking as he rode them.

Yang Chunqin was frightened last night and then overexerted herself. She was listless when she woke up this morning and had to make breakfast hastily.

Xu Xinning and Mu Jingheng both got up just before work started, and this was the first time Xu Xinning had run into Mu Jingheng while washing up early in the morning.

When Mu Jingheng saw Xu Xinning brushing her teeth with her eyes closed for the first time, he never expected that someone who usually seemed like a fairy could have such a cute side.

Xu Xinning felt annoyed. What was wrong with this person? Hadn't he ever seen someone who was still half asleep?

"What are you looking at? If you look again, I'll gouge your eyes out," Xu Xinning threatened in a low voice.

Mu Jingheng didn't retort, he just stood there chuckling to himself.

The whole family got up, but they couldn't find Xu Laosan.

After washing up, Mu Jingheng went to help Grandma Xu with her chores.

Mu Jingheng: "Grandma, Grandma, please leave it. How can I let you do this job when I'm here?"

Mu Jingheng: "Grandma, I'll do it, I'll do it."

Xu Xinning thinks Mu Jingheng is just a flirt, a sycophant, and all he knows is how to flatter the elders in the family.

Yang Chunqin was in poor spirits and forgot about Xu Laosan. When everyone remembered him, they were all eager to get to work.

Yang Chunqin was furious!

That brat is a constant worry.

Yang Chunqin rolled up her sleeves and rushed into Xu Laosan's room, looking like she was about to get another beating.

The whole family listened intently, but the sound of being beaten didn't ring out for a long time.

"Nannan, Nannan, come in here for a moment." Yang Chunqin said anxiously.

Xu Xinning strode into Xu Laosan's room and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yang Chunqin: "The third child has a fever."

When Xu Xinning got closer, she saw that Xu Laosan's face was flushed, his breathing was heavy, and his lips were almost bloodless.

Xu Xinning touched Xu Laosan's forehead and said, "Mom, go prepare a basin of hot water to wipe Laosan's body and cool him down. I'll go get the first-aid kit."

Judging from Xu Laosan's appearance, it was impossible for him to go to school today. When Xu Xinning went out, she stood under the wall of the Chen family next door and called out, "Jianguo, Jianguo."

Hearing this from the other side of the wall, Chen Jianguo immediately ran out: "Sister, sister, what's wrong?"

Xu Xinning: "The third brother is sick, can you help him ask for leave?"

Chen Jianguo: "Why are you sick? I know, sister."

After saying that, Xu Xinning turned around and went upstairs to her room to get her first-aid kit.

When we got back to Xu Laosan's room, we took his temperature.

Xu Xinning estimated that the body temperature was not low, otherwise how could the person not wake up after such a commotion?

This measurement startled Yang Chunqin; it was almost 40 degrees Celsius.

Xu Xinning probably caught a chill from sleeping on the roof last night, and the dew she inhaled also made her body unable to take it.

At this point, the versatile aminopyrine comes in very handy.

Xu Xinning: "Mom, wipe the third son down with hot water to cool him down first, and then I'll give him acupuncture."

People in this era are afraid of fever, and many children suffer regrets because their fevers were not handled properly.

Yang Chunqin was very worried and asked, "Nannan, will the third brother be alright?"

Xu Xinning: "It's okay, don't worry, I'll stay by his side today."

Yang Chunqin: "Alright, Mom will leave the third child to you. There are still many things to take care of in the brigade today."

Xu Xinning: "Go ahead, nothing will happen. There's aminopyrine in the first-aid kit. If it really comes down to it, I'll give him one."

Yang Chunqin: "Okay, then I'm leaving. I'll have your grandma help you."

Xu Xinning: "Tell the milkman to bring in a bowl of porridge."

Yang Chunqin wiped Xu Laosan's body and then took the basin and went out.

Xu Xinning took out silver needles to perform acupuncture on Xu Laosan. In her mind, she would avoid using medicine if possible. Although Analgin was effective, she was still not used to it. She would only consider using medicine if the effects of acupuncture did not subside quickly.

Grandma Xu was surprised that her tough grandson had suddenly fallen ill. She wondered if he had been beaten too badly last night.

Grandma Xu hurriedly entered Xu Laosan's room, followed by Grandpa Xu and Mu Jingheng, who was carrying a bowl of porridge.

Grandma Xu: "My dear daughter! How is the third son?"

Grandpa Xu: "Are you alright?"

Xu Xinning: "Grandpa, Grandma, it's nothing. It's just a fever from catching a cold. It'll be fine once the fever goes down."

Mu Jingheng was curious about the silver needles stuck in Xu Laosan's body. He put the porridge on the table and leaned closer to take a look. This was the first time he had seen Xu Xinning treat someone, and judging from her posture, she seemed to have considerable medical skills.

At first, when Mu Jingheng saw Xu Xinning making pills, he didn't take it seriously at all, thinking that Xu Xinning was just making them for fun out of boredom. After all, the medical station had been practically non-existent for more than a week since he arrived, so he didn't think Xu Xinning had any medical skills.

But now, seeing the silver needles on Xu Laosan's body, he didn't think so. He had seen traditional Chinese medicine practitioners in Kyoto, but this was probably the first time he had seen silver needles used.

It wasn't that Mu Jingheng was ignorant; firstly, in this special era, almost all good traditional Chinese medicine practitioners were suppressed, and secondly, those without medical skills certainly wouldn't dare to perform acupuncture, while those who could perform acupuncture must be very familiar with the body's acupoints.

After Xu Xinning finished her acupuncture, she asked Mu Jingheng to wake up Xu Laosan and have him drink some porridge.

When Xu Laosan fell ill, Xu Laotai and Xu Laoye were heartbroken.

Although he often teases Xu Laosan, he really loves him. What can you do when Xu Laosan is so easily amused?

I started sweating shortly after the acupuncture.

Xu Xinning then used hot water to wipe Xu Laosan's body again before letting Mu Jingheng wake him up to eat porridge.

When Xu Laosan was woken up, he was still groggy, looking around blankly, wondering why all his family members were gathered around his bed. "What are you all doing?"

Xu Laosan only realized his voice was hoarse when he tried to speak.

Mu Jingheng: "Third brother, do you know you're sick?"

Old Xu cleared his throat and asked, "Are you sick?"

Grandma Xu: "Oh dear! Heaven have mercy, this child didn't even know he was sick."

Xu Laosan moved his body and found that he was indeed weak and his whole body ached. Could this be from the beating he received last night?
