Chapter 273 Not That Fragile Yet
Doctor Sun prescribed some antipyretics and said that if the fever didn't go away by tomorrow, he would have to go to the hospital for an IV drip.
After getting the medicine, Yu Hui sat on the back seat of the bicycle and was taken home by Gu Hongmei.
"Sister-in-law, wait a minute. I'll park the bike and help you in." Gu Hongmei got off the bike with one foot.
Yu Hui waved her hand, "No, I'm not that fragile yet."
As she spoke, Yu Hui walked into the yard coughing.
Gu Xi, who was waiting in the main room for his mother and aunt to come back and watch TV, heard a cough. Seeing that it was his mother who had returned, he immediately ran out of the main room to greet her.
"Mom..." Gu Xixi opened his arms and wanted to hug her, but Yu Hui took a step back and stretched out her hand to stop him.
"Don't."
Gu Xixi's mouth drooped, "Mom, don't you like Xixi anymore?"
"Ahem... No, I have a cold. I don't want to infect you."
Children have weak immunity and are easily infected. It is best to stay away from children until she gets better.
When Gu Xixi heard that her mother was sick, she immediately became anxious.
"Mom, please come into the house quickly and stop blowing in the wind. Xixi will help you into the house."
Having a cold is so uncomfortable, and you also have to get shots in the buttocks, which is so painful.
"Thank you, I can go in by myself and stay away from my mother to avoid infection." Yu Hui said and covered her mouth with her hands while coughing.
"Second brother, mom is sick."
Gu Nan, who was watching Beibei in the house, heard Gu Xixi calling and ran out with a worried look on his face.
Yu Hui walked to the door and looked at Gu Nan, who was worried, and said, "I'm fine. It's just a common cold. I'll be fine after taking some medicine and getting some sleep. Please keep an eye on my younger brothers and sisters and tell them to stay away from me to avoid getting infected."
Gu Nan: "Okay."
Yu Hui came into the house. Beibei, who was sitting on a chair, opened her little arms for a hug when she saw her mother coming back.
"I'm sorry, Beibei. Mommy can't hold you today. Can you play with your brother?"
Beibei tilted his head strangely. Why did his mother's voice change?
Gu Hongmei, who had parked her bicycle in the yard, also entered the house. She took the teapot to the kitchen and poured the boiling water that was warm on the stove. After bringing it back to the living room, she poured it into a cup, pouring it back and forth between the two cups. After letting it cool down a bit, she gave Yu Hui the medicine.
Yu Hui closed her eyes and took the medicine. Although she ate it very quickly, the medicine without any sugar coating was still so bitter that she had to put on a mask of pain.
"Mom, have some candy." Gu Xixi put the peeled White Rabbit milk candy on the table, remembering what her mother said, not to get close to her to avoid infection.
Otherwise, my mother is sick, and my father and aunt have to go to work, so there is no one to take care of them when they are sick.
"Thank you, Xixi..." Yu Hui said in a hoarse voice and stuffed the sweet White Rabbit candy into her mouth.
"Sister-in-law, go back to your room and lie down. I'll take care of the child. Before I go to work, I'll make some vegetable porridge for you to eat in the evening."
Yu Hui felt dizzy at the moment, nodded, went into the house, took off her clothes and got into bed.
Even with a thick quilt, she still felt cold and curled up in the bed.
After a while, I fell into a deep sleep.
Bei Beisuo got off the chair, put on her little cotton slippers, and walked towards the bedroom.
"Beibei, where are you going?" Gu Hongmei stopped her, bent down, picked her up, and sat her on a chair.
"Mom...Beibei is looking for it." Beibei said incoherently, pointing in the direction of the bedroom.
Beibei wanted to go find his mother, but when his mother came back she didn't hug Beibei or kiss him.
Gu Hongmei patiently explained to her niece, "Mom is sick and needs to sleep and rest to get better quickly. If Beibei disturbs her, she won't get better quickly and won't be able to play with her soon."
"It's contagious." Gu Xixi added, "If Beibei, you get infected by your mother and get sick, your sick mother will have to worry about you."
"That's right." Gu Nan also nodded and said, "At this time, we all have to be good and not disturb Mom's rest or make her worry."
Beibei pouted and looked at her aunt, then at her two brothers. She seemed to understand half of what was said, and nodded her head vigorously, saying a little aggrievedly, "Beibei, be good and wait for Mama."
Gu Hongmei rested for a while and then went to prepare dinner in advance. She had to prepare dinner before going to work.
Fourth brother has been getting off work lately. If we wait for him to come back to cook dinner, who knows how long it will take for my sister-in-law and the children to come.
There was still some lean meat at home, so Gu Hongmei planned to cook some vegetable porridge in the evening, make some pickled vegetable and lean meat patties, and stir-fry some shredded white radish and carrot slices with garlic sprouts.
Gu Hongmei cooked dinner, but Yu Hui was still asleep, so she didn't wake her up. She waited until Gu Dong got home before going to work.
He was told that if his father didn't come back later, he should take his younger brothers and sisters to take out the warm food in the big pot and eat.
She kept her mother's meal separate and kept it warm in a small pot on the stove. If her mother woke up, she would serve it to her.
Be careful when serving food so as not to burn yourself. If you can’t do it yourself, ask the guy next door, Jianshe, to help you.
The medicine is placed on the bedside table. When serving the meal, remember to pour a glass of water for your mother to take the medicine.
After giving the instructions, Gu Hongmei hurriedly rode her bicycle to the noodle shop.
When we arrived at the noodle shop, it was already full of people and Qian Lan was busy preparing food.
As soon as Gu Hongmei arrived, she took over Qian Lan's work.
"How is Xiaoyu? Is he feeling better?" Qian Lan took out a dozen bowls and poured ingredients into them one by one.
"He was still asleep when I left." Gu Hongmei said as she picked up the noodles skillfully.
"Cover it up and sleep, and it will be fine after some sweating. Didn't I tell you that you just stay at home and take care of Xiaoyu?" Qian Lan went next door and told Gu Hongmei about this before coming to the noodle shop.
Although she told Gu Hongmei that she didn't need to stay at home to take care of Yu Hui, she still felt that it was unnecessary. It was just a cold and a fever, and there was no need for anyone to take care of her.
When she had a cold or fever in the past, she had to get up and cook three meals a day.
Having a cold and a fever is uncomfortable, but it’s not to the point where you can’t do anything.
Gu Hongmei smiled and said, "I'm just worried that you, Sister Qian, can't handle it all by yourself."
"What's too busy..."
Gu Huai didn't get home until nearly six o'clock. Gu Dong had already planned to take his younger brother and sister to eat first. Just as he was about to go to the kitchen to serve the meal, he saw his father coming back.
"Dad, Mom is sick." Gu Dong immediately ran up and said.
Gu Huai frowned, a look of anxiety appearing on his face, "Why are you sick?"
"I have a cold and a fever, but I'm still sleeping in the house."
Having a cold and a fever, Gu Huai suddenly remembered that she went out to the bathroom in the middle of the night wearing thin pajamas.
"I must have caught a cold in the bathroom."
It’s all his fault. Why didn’t he remind Xiaohui to put on some clothes?
Gu Huai felt extremely guilty. He walked into the main room, placed two empty glass bottles on the table, and then went into the bedroom to see Yu Hui.
I saw her wrapped in the quilt like a silkworm cocoon. The half of her face exposed was red, her brows were wrinkled in her sleep, her hair was wet with sweat and stuck to her face, her breathing was heavy, and she looked uncomfortable and fragile.
