When cousin Lin Shuang's parents passed away, she was adopted by Lin Man's parents and became the family's darling.
Lin Man, on the other hand, became the sandwiched punching bag,...
Chapter 247 Recovery (Page 1/2)
Huo Qingci slowly got up from the ground, then walked slowly to the medicine box and took out two thermometers from it.
Lin Man quickly took one of them and gently placed it under the armpit of her youngest son Huo Yian.
On the other side, Huo Qingci carefully measured the temperature of his eldest son Huo Yining.
He looked at Lin Man, whose face was filled with worry, and comforted her softly, "Man Man, it's normal for children to get sick occasionally. Don't worry too much.
As the saying goes, if you often suffer from minor illnesses, you will not be more likely to develop a serious illness.
It can effectively enhance the body's own immunity to treat illnesses such as colds and fevers.
Before this, these two little guys had always been accustomed to the extremely hot climate conditions on the island.
The temperature dropped sharply in the past few days, and they were unable to fully adapt immediately, so they became sick."
Lin Man nodded slightly in agreement. At the same time, she reached out and gently stroked her youngest son's forehead a few times, muttering:
"Well, I know that colds and fevers are actually a self-protection mechanism of the body. These minor illnesses are actually equivalent to detoxification of the body.
I understand the theory, but seeing them sick makes me feel bad."
After waiting for five minutes, the two quickly took out the thermometer to check. The younger one had a fever of 38.5℃ and the older one had a fever of 38.3℃.
"Qingci, do you want to take the child to the hospital?"
"No, let's cool down An An and Ning Ning physically first, and then I'll transfer some superpowers to them."
Lin Man thought that medicine is always poisonous, and since the child is so young, it is better to take less medicine, so she said, "Qingci, since we can reduce the temperature physically, why don't we just get two basins of medicinal spring water to soak them in."
"Okay, I'll go back to my own space and prepare the medicinal spring."
By the time Huo Qingci had fetched two basins of medicinal spring water, Lin Man had already carried Huo Yian into the bathroom.
Huo Yian woke up in a daze, called out "Mom" and started crying. Lin Man knew that he was feeling very uncomfortable, so she took off his clothes and coaxed him, "An An, be good. You will feel better after taking a bath."
Huo Yian was stripped naked and sat in the bathtub, crying with his eyes closed. Lin Man took a wet gauze towel and wiped his forehead first, then his armpits.
"An An, be good, don't cry. Mommy will take you out to play tomorrow."
Huo Yian opened his big watery eyes and said in a baby voice, "An An, drink milk."
"Is An'an hungry? After An'an finishes taking a bath, mommy will make some milk powder for An'an, okay?"
Huo Yining, who was sitting in another bathtub, was also feeling uncomfortable. When he heard his mother preparing milk powder for his younger brother, he said, "Mom, I want to drink milk powder too. I also want to eat red fruits."
Lin Man knew that the red fruits Huo Yining was talking about were strawberries. Fortunately, this year, she planted some all-season strawberries in Huo Qingci's space.
There are a lot of winter fruits, but most of them are not ripe yet. I will go to his space tomorrow to ripen a few strawberries so that her little fat boy can taste them first.
Looking at her eldest son, who was sick but still carelessly playing in the bathtub, Lin Man asked with concern, "Ningning, do you have a headache?"
"Mom, I don't have a headache, but I feel weak. I might be hungry and want to drink milk."
"I'll make the milk powder for you later, and I'll buy you some red fruit tomorrow."
He was clearly weak due to fever, how could he be too hungry to have any strength? This kid really can't change his foodie nature, and he was talking nonsense in a serious tone.
Huo Qingci explained: "Manman, I just transferred some superpowers to Ningning, so this kid is completely fine now.
I'll send some to An An later, and they'll be well again soon."

"Qingci, watch over them and let them soak for a few more minutes. I'll go get them some milk powder first."
"Okay, I'll look after An An, you go ahead!"
Lin Man went to prepare milk powder for the two children, and Huo Qingci began to massage the boy's palms and soles, and then transferred some healing power to him.
After a while, Huo Yian became more energetic. He looked at Huo Qingci and suddenly said, "Dad, eat your balls."
"Your mother has gone to make you some powdered milk. It's one in the middle of the night now. You can't eat eggs if you're sick."
"Dad, drink some water."
"Okay, Dad will pour it for you."
Lin Man prepared the milk powder and put it aside. Seeing that it was almost time, she went back to the bathroom, took her youngest son out, wiped the water droplets off his body, and changed him into a clean base shirt.
After Huo Yining changed into clean clothes, Lin Man gave each of them a bottle of milk powder.
The two brothers lay on the bed, each holding a bottle, drinking milk in big gulps with their eyes closed. After finishing a bottle of milk powder, the two brothers fell asleep completely.
After the two brothers fell asleep, Lin Man shook off the mercury in the thermometer and continued to measure the two children's body temperature. Unexpectedly, within half an hour, the body temperatures of the two children had returned to normal.
"Qingci, they are fine."
"Well, they should be fine. Let's go to sleep first. We have to get up early for work tomorrow."
Lin Man slept very uneasily that night, waking up from time to time to touch the foreheads of her two children. Fortunately, they did not continue to have a fever.
I woke up early the next morning and measured their temperatures again. I was finally able to take them all out of the space with peace of mind.
While having breakfast, she told her grandfather and Liao Sijie about the two children having a fever and asked them to pay more attention to their physical condition.
When Huo Li learned that his two great-grandsons had a fever in the middle of the night, he was a little worried. He called Huo Qingci back to the room, took out some candy and biscuit tickets from the drawer and handed them to him.
"Qingci, take these tickets and buy some candy for Ningning."
Huo Qingci looked at the bill in his hand and said, "Grandpa, Ningning and An'an are not fully recovered yet. They can't eat candy and cookies. Let's buy some fruit tonight."
"Eating fruit in such a cold weather will freeze your teeth."
"Grandpa, we can make some glutinous rice balls and make a sweet fruit soup."
"Got it. You should keep these tickets. It's Chinese New Year soon anyway. You can go buy some candy and cookies first and eat them after Ningning and An'an are fully recovered."
Huo Qingci had no choice but to accept the ticket. Manman did not have enough space for some candies and snacks, so she would buy some at the end of the year.
"Grandpa, the weather is cold, you should wear more clothes."
"I know. This year, there's autumn pear paste made by Xiaoman. I take some out and soak it in water to drink from time to time. I haven't coughed much this winter."
"I'm glad Grandpa is okay. I'll buy some more pears later and make two more jars of pear syrup for Grandpa."
Huo Qingci thought that when he had a break, he would use Qiuyue pears, medicinal spring water, Sichuan loquat, rock sugar... to make a few more jars of Qiuli paste for Grandpa. Grandpa's health was more important than anything else.
Huo Li nodded and said okay, then sighed as he thought of something and said, "Wen Jing is out, and now his job is unsafe. Your uncle and aunt might come over tonight. Take this twenty yuan and buy some groceries after get off work."
"Grandpa, I have money, please keep this money."
"Take it. I'm old, your grandpa. I want to withdraw all my savings this New Year. I'll give you one-third, and divide the rest between your father and his siblings."
