Chapter 362 The Beloved Friend Gets Sick
Zhou Xiye looked at Jiang Zhizhi with some skepticism: "What else did she say?"
Jiang Zhizhi exclaimed, sat up straight, and propped her chin up with her hand: "I need to think about it carefully. After all, we've been talking for a long time, and I can't remember many of the details. You eat first, and I'll think about it carefully."
While Zhou Xiye was eating, Jiang Zhizhi reorganized her thoughts, adopting the tone that Sun Xiaoyue might use, and explained what kind of war would occur in the second half of the year and its causes.
After saying that, he added, "Although I don't know if what Sun Xiaoyue said is true or false, I've been listening to the radio lately and I've heard that there are always small conflicts happening over there, and it's all deliberate provocation from the other side. If this continues, a war is inevitable."
“Sun Xiaoyue is uneducated and knows nothing about military analysis, but she was able to say it so accurately, so it’s probably true. Anyway, you should take this matter seriously.”
Zhou Xiye was beginning to believe that Sun Xiaoyue's ability to name even such a small village was undeniable.
Jiang Zhizhi stared at Zhou Xiye's expression, knowing that he already believed half of it. She pouted slightly and said deliberately, "She told me that you two were husband and wife in your past life, and I didn't mind at all."
Zhou Xiye had a headache and pinched the bridge of his nose: "She's talking nonsense, don't believe her."
Jiang Zhizhi chuckled: "Anyway, I believe what she says. Since we can know in advance, we should take precautions, especially since she mentioned that the support troops might not arrive in time. We must not let that happen."
Zhou Xiye finally understood why Jiang Zhizhi had reminded him to be careful about this and that when he first returned.
Jiang Zhizhi smiled at Zhou Xiye: "Okay, I'm done talking. I'm going to take a shower now. You can clean up the dishes and wash them."
...
While taking a shower, Jiang Zhizhi noticed numerous bruises on her body, from the bumps and bruises she had sustained while rolling around, and a large bruise on her shoulder from Bian Zhan's scratch.
I reached out and rubbed it. My body is prone to leaving marks, so it will probably take a long time for them to fade.
After taking a shower, I dried my hair and went back to my room. I saw Zhou Xiye already sitting on the edge of the bed, holding a bottle of safflower oil.
Jiang Zhizhi went over in surprise: "What are you doing with the safflower oil?"
Zhou Xiye stared at her exposed fair arm, which was covered with a large bruise: "I'll use safflower oil to rub your injuries."
Jiang Zhizhi casually ran her fingers through her hair: "It's nothing, I just bumped into it, it'll be fine in a few days."
Zhou Xiye insisted, reaching out to pull Jiang Zhizhi down to sit, taking the towel from her hand, and helping her dry her hair.
They insisted that she take off her clothes to apply the medicine.
At first, all the actions were normal, but gradually things went wrong.
The air even felt sweet...
Jiang Zhizhi suddenly reached out to stop Zhou Xiye's next move: "No, it seems we don't have that at home. The neighborhood committee has been promoting family planning a lot lately, saying that families like ours should take the lead in family planning and not have a second child."
Zhou Xiye paused for a moment, then pressed Jiang Zhizhi's hand and chuckled, "The street office delivered it early this morning."
Jiang Zhizhi was a little confused: "When did this happen? How come I didn't know?"
Is family planning so effective now? They immediately came to our door to persuade us and deliver family planning supplies as soon as they knew Zhou Xiye was coming back?
With the threat of border conflict gone, both men relaxed and became very focused.
They didn't even notice the noise in the living room until the footsteps were almost at the door, at which point they quickly separated.
Immediately afterward, there was a knock on the door, and it was Fang Hua's urgent voice: "Zhizhi, Zhizhi, Xiao Zhouji is acting strangely. He suddenly started vomiting, and I feel that he also has a slight fever."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhizhi quickly found some clothes to put on, and replied as she got out of bed, "Mom, don't worry, I'll be right there."
Zhou Xiye paused for a moment, then quickly put on his clothes and followed him upstairs.
Little Zhou, who was full of energy during the day, now nestled listlessly in Fang Hua's arms, his eyes closed, very sleepy, and whimpering because he was uncomfortable.
The bed and floor were a mess from Xiao Zhou's vomit.
Fang Hua was very anxious: "She was fine during the day, so why did she start vomiting in her sleep at night?"
She was even somewhat panicked, and her voice was trembling with tears.
Jiang Zhizhi held Xiao Zhouji, first touching the child's back, then touching his little belly, and gently rubbing it, while comforting Fang Hua: "Mom, don't worry, it's normal for children to catch a cold and get sick, it's okay."
Fang Hua was still very anxious. Her previous child had died from illness, so she was particularly afraid of her children getting sick.
In her eyes, it was a huge deal.
"Should we get some medicine for the child?"
Jiang Zhizhi shook her head: "No need for now, I'll go and brew some Chinese medicine for him in a bit."
There are currently no medications for children; they are mostly adult medications with reduced dosages, but the dosage of adult Western medicines is also reduced significantly.
Jiang Zhizhi didn't want such a young child to start taking adult medication: "Mom, let me give him a massage and acupuncture to relieve his symptoms..."
Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Zhouji vomited again, all over her clothes. The little guy was also uncomfortable and started whimpering and crying.
Jiang Zhizhi picked up a towel from the side and cleaned up while coaxing Xiao Zhouji.
Zhou Xiye quickly came over, picked up Xiao Zhouji, held him in his arms, and, imitating Jiang Zhizhi, rubbed his belly.
Fang Hua came over to help change Xiao Zhouji's vomit-stained clothes. Seeing the little guy with his eyes closed, tears still clinging to his long eyelashes, and his little mouth twitching as if he wanted to cry but couldn't, Fang Hua couldn't help but shed tears.
"It's all my fault. I must have dressed the child too lightly when we went out this morning."
While cleaning herself, Jiang Zhizhi called out to Zhou Chengyu, "Aunt, take Shangshang to your room first and let her sleep there. Separate the two children."
She then comforted Fang Hua, saying, "Mom, don't be sad. Children are prone to getting sick in the spring, and these are all normal phenomena. I just checked, and Xiao Zhouji's belly is a little warm because he ate too much, caught a cold, and had indigestion. As long as he vomits it out and we take care of him, he'll be fine."
Hearing the commotion, Zhou Chengzhi rushed over and saw the mess on the ground. He quickly said, "If it doesn't work, go to the hospital. I'll call a pediatric specialist over."
Jiang Zhizhi thought it was unnecessary: "Dad, I think Xiao Zhouji is fine. We don't need to go to the hospital. He'll be fine after a nap."
Zhou Chengzhi looked at the whimpering little Zhou Ji in Zhou Xiye's arms and said stubbornly, "No, Zhizhi, you have to listen to me on this matter! Although you are good at traditional Chinese medicine, you usually treat adults. You may not be a professional when it comes to children's illnesses. We can't let little Zhou Ji suffer."
Fang Hua agreed with Zhou Chengzhi this time: "Yes, yes, Zhizhi, let's change our clothes and go to the hospital."
Seeing the two elderly people looking worried, Jiang Zhizhi knew that saying anything more would be useless, so she could only sigh and say, "Alright, let's go to the hospital."
Before leaving home, Zhou Chengzhi made a phone call. Upon arriving at the hospital, Zhou Chengzhi instructed Zhou Xiye to carry Xiao Zhouji to the pediatric ward on the second floor, where the specialists were already waiting.
Jiang Zhizhi felt like facepalming as she looked at Zhou Chengzhi's elaborate mobilization.
As I took a step to catch up, I was surprised to see Sun Xiaoyue coming out of the emergency room...
