When Mrs. Ye came to Mr. Cen's room, she saw that only Shi Lei was guarding the bed, and her heart suddenly felt sad.
She walked forward and touched Mr. Cen's forehead, and it was indeed hot.
Mrs. Ye quickly wrung out a cold handkerchief and applied it to his forehead.
Mr. Cen may have felt the coolness on his forehead, and his originally painful expression relaxed a little.
"Why did you suddenly have a fever?" asked Mrs. Ye.
Shi Lei said, "At noon, because Big Brother Ye came back and talked for a while, the old man took a nap a little later than usual today.
"When he woke up, Meng Yu and I were busy with other things.
“Then the old man heard someone hawking something in the alley, so he put on some clothes and ran out to buy something.
"I guess it was probably the wind that blew it away."
Mrs. Ye said helplessly, "It's very cold outside today. People are afraid of the cold right after waking up. How can you not get sick if you go out without adding more clothes?
"That old man is the same. If he wants to buy something, he can just ask someone to buy it. Why does he have to rush out and chase the vendor?"
Before Sister Ye could finish her words, she suddenly heard Qingtian say, "Mom, it's all my fault."
"What's wrong? Why is it you who's not well?" Mrs. Ye was confused. "Great-grandfather's illness has nothing to do with us, Qingtian.
“But you have to learn your lesson and not catch a cold right after waking up.
"Otherwise you'll get sick easily, remember?"
Qingtian pursed her lips, trying hard not to let her tears fall, and pointed to the outside and said, "Grandpa got sick because he went out to buy me some candy."
Only then did Mrs. Ye discover that there was an oil-paper bag tied with a thin hemp rope on the table in the outer room.
There is nothing special about the oil paper package, but the way the hemp rope is tied, you can tell it was tied by the young man who often comes here to sell hemp candy.
Not only is his method of tying ropes special, but the taste of his sesame candy is also different from that of other shops.
Qingtian especially likes the sesame candy from his family, so Mr. Cen would buy her a pack every now and then.
Mr. Cen must have taken a late nap today. When he woke up, he found that the other party was about to leave. When he saw that Shi Lei and Meng Yu were not there, he hurriedly chased after them.
Qingtian felt even more sad when he thought about his previous fever. He looked at Mrs. Ye pitifully and asked, "Mom, is Grandpa feeling very uncomfortable now?
"Woo woo, I'll never eat hemp candy again..."
"My dear, this is not your fault!" Sister Ye hugged Qingtian and comforted him, "Just wait until your Uncle Meng invites the doctor back and gives Great Grandfather some medicine.
"It's too late now. Can you please go back to bed with your dad?"
"No, I don't want to sleep!" Qingtian shook his little head like a rattle, "I want to stay with my great-grandfather."
Qingtian said this and went straight to the bedside and put her little hand on Mr. Cen's face.
Old Master Cen, who had been in a coma, suddenly opened his eyes, tried to see Qingtian beside the bed, and said in a hoarse voice, "Qingtian, be good and go back to the room with your father. Don't stay with your great-grandfather to stay here and get sick."
"No." Qingtian grabbed Old Man Cen's hand and insisted, "I want to stay with my great-grandfather."
Mr. Cen took a few breaths with difficulty and was about to say something else when Meng Yu's voice came from outside the door.
"Doctor Qiao, please hurry up and check on my old man." He finished speaking to the doctor and shouted into the room, "The doctor is here!"
Mrs. Ye quickly carried Qingtian away to make room for the doctor.
Shi Lei also hurriedly moved a chair to the side of the bed.
Meng Yu walked in carrying a medicine box in one hand and supporting an old doctor who looked quite old with the other.
"Doctor Qiao, please take a look at my old man."
Doctor Qiao was gasping for breath and couldn't speak at all.
Mrs. Ye quickly poured him a glass of water.
Doctor Qiao drank two sips of water and finally caught his breath. He raised his finger and pointed at Meng Yu angrily, "You, if you keep pushing me, I'll die before your grandfather."
Mrs. Ye frowned when she heard this, feeling that what the old man said seemed a little unlucky.
Shi Lei explained to her softly, "This Doctor Qiao is an old acquaintance of the old man. He used to work in the Imperial Hospital in the palace, but now he has returned home to retire. Ordinary people can't even invite him!
“It’s just that the two of them know each other too well, and as they get older, they like to bicker more.
"They would quarrel at the slightest provocation, saying anything and nothing was off limits.
"Let's just listen to it and don't take it to heart."
"I understand." Mrs. Ye nodded.
Although Doctor Qiao said that, he did not delay in his actions. After catching his breath, he sat down beside the bed and began to take Mr. Cen's pulse.
"It's nothing serious, just a cold." After taking the patient's pulse, Doctor Qiao breathed a sigh of relief and said in a relaxed tone, "I'll prescribe a prescription for him to take for seven days.
"If you still have a high fever after taking the medicine, or if you haven't recovered after seven days, come back to me. Otherwise, don't bother me."
Doctor Qiao quickly wrote out the prescription and handed it to Shi Lei, saying, "Hurry and get the herbs and boil them."
After he finished speaking, he raised his finger and pointed at Meng Yu and said, "You kid, hurry up and take me home."
Hearing this, Meng Yu said to Shi Lei, "Brother Lei, give me the prescription and I'll get the medicine on the way. You stay home and look after the old man!"
Doctor Qiao reached out and hit Meng Yu on the head.
"What's so convenient about it? I can quickly get the medicine and boil it so I can take it quickly, understand?"
"What about the old man here..." Meng Yu was worried about leaving the old man alone at home.
When Mrs. Ye heard this, she quickly took the initiative and said, "Go quickly, I'm at home.
