Return to the ’70s: A Young Educated Youth’s Slow Descent

In her past life, Sheng Kangning was the classic naive girl—easily manipulated by her scheming stepmother and half-sister, blindly following their every move.

Branded with a ruined reputati...

Chapter 80 Fever in the middle of the night

Everyone had a good meal.

Sheng Kangning also fed Xiaobao some egg soup.

Zhou Shen came once in the afternoon, originally intending to take Xiaobao back home, but Xiaobao of course refused to leave.

Afterwards, Zhou Shen brought Xiaobao’s luggage, including milk powder and bottles.

Xiaobao stayed at Sheng Kangning's place.

When Qin Jianing came back, it was almost dark.

After coming back, she sat on her bunk without saying a word. Even when Zhou Xiaoran asked her, she didn't say a word.

Someone like Zhou Xiaoran was able to humble herself and say hello because she was in the same group with Qin Jianing. Qin Jianing was missing, and Zhou Xiaoran felt that she had a little bit of responsibility.

Qin Jianing didn't say anything. Zhou Xiaoran's rare kindness was ignored, and he lost the interest in comforting her.

After I put away the needle and thread, gauze and other things on the bed, I took a shower and prepared to go to bed.

Wang Juan also began to tidy up the gauze on the bed and said:

"That's all for today! Rest after you've packed up your things."

After cleaning up, Wang Juan took the initiative to walk over to Qin Jianing and sat down, and was about to hold Qin Jianing's hand.

Qin Jianing suddenly turned his head and looked over, his face cold:

"You don't need to comfort me. I'm not dead. I'm back. I won't run away again. Is that okay?"

Wang Juan frowned without saying a word, knowing that Qin Jianing didn't want to talk, she stood up and brought the thermos over: "Jianing, no matter what, you just came back from outside and got caught in the rain, drink some hot water first! Do you have a cup? I'll pour you half a cup."

Qin Jianing shook his head:

"No thanks, I'm going to sleep!"

After saying that, Qin Jianing took off her raincoat, her shoes that were soaked with water, and went to bed without taking off her clothes or pants.

He shook out the quilt and covered himself with it, looking like he didn't want to talk to anyone.

Ma Chunmei pulled Wang Juan's arm:

"Forget it. I'm in a bad mood. I can't listen to anything you say. If you want to sleep, just take a nap! I've been busy all day. I just checked and there's no injury on your body. Don't worry."

Wang Juan hummed, but still said worriedly:

"I don't know if you've eaten anything."

Xu Hongmei couldn't stand such people, so she added: "Your body is your own. If you don't take care of yourself, you will suffer in the end."

"Xu Hongmei, come out!" Zhou Shen's voice came from outside the tent.

Xu Hongmei put on her raincoat and went out.

"What's the matter?"

"I'll come and hold Xiaobao."

Xu Hongmei smiled:

"Okay, stop carrying him around. The milk powder and other things are all here. Xiaobao likes Corning. Not to mention you, even if the eldest brother comes, he may not be able to take him away. Let Xiaobao stay here! We will take good care of him. How are the herbs?"

Zhou Shen smiled and scratched his head:

"The mugwort has been processed almost completely, and only the bitter ginseng is left. The boss is leading people to slice the bitter ginseng! It will be delivered early tomorrow morning, don't worry! Then I'm going back!"

After saying that, he turned around to leave, then turned back and said, "By the way, the boss asked if Kang Ning's foot is better?"

Xu Hongmei couldn't help laughing:

"Tell the boss that he's much better. Kang Ning just mentioned that he should not forget to apply the medicine before going to bed at night!"

Zhou Shen nodded: "Okay, I'll remind him when I get back!"

"Remember it was Corning who reminded you!" Xu Hongmei said in a low voice.

Zhou Shen smiled: "I understand!"

After watching Zhou Shen walk away, Xu Hongmei turned around and went back into the tent.

In the middle of the night, Qin Jianing was talking nonsense. Ma Chunmei was lying next to Qin Jianing. When she heard it, she got up and touched Qin Jianing's forehead, which was burning hot.

Ma Chunmei got up quickly and went to wake up Sheng Kangning, after all, Sheng Kangning knew medicine.

Wang Juan propped herself up and asked, "Chunmei, what's wrong?"

"Qin Jianing has a fever! She's talking nonsense! I'll wake Kang Ning up and see what to do!"

"Don't call Kang Ning anymore. She's tired from looking for medicine and taking care of Xiaobao during the day. Let her rest!" Wang Juan quickly got up from the bed, put on her clothes, and got out of bed.

Ma Chunmei frowned and said, "But we don't have any medicine!"

Wang Juan: "It's okay, she just got caught in the rain. I'll take a look first. If it doesn't work, I'll call Kang Ning."

Wang Juan climbed onto Qin Jianing's bed, reached into the quilt and felt around, then cried out, "Ouch!"

Ma Chunmei quickly asked: "What's wrong?"

Wang Juan sighed:

"This person is just angry. She is soaked all over and doesn't even take off her clothes. How can she avoid having a fever? Chunmei, give her a hand and help her take off her clothes and pants and change into clean clothes."

Ma Chunmei opened Qin Jianing's luggage, reached out and touched it, and was stunned for a moment: "Her luggage is also wet."

Wang Juan frowned:

"Then take off her clothes and pants first. Her bed is not suitable for sleeping. It's all wet underneath. Move her to sleep over to my side. My quilt is big enough to cover two people."

The two of them worked together to strip Qin Jianing naked, but there was no other way; her clothes were soaked and they had to take them off.

The luggage bag Qin Jianing took away seemed to be soaked in water. It was soaked inside and there was no dry clothes at all.

After moving the person to lie on Wang Juan's bed.

Wang Juan finally had time to find a nightgown from her luggage and put it on Qin Jianing. At least she was wearing some clothes.

Ma Chunmei asked: "What should we do now?"

Wang Juan: "You go to sleep. I'll apply a hot towel to her. If the fever goes down, it's fine. If not, I'll call Kang Ning. You go to sleep. I still have to sew the medical bandage tomorrow!"

Ma Chunmei didn't insist and lay back down: "Wang Juan, let's take turns taking care of her. I'll go to sleep first, and you wake me up in two hours!"
