Chapter 69 Old Man Zhou Chenglei
Ten minutes later, Zhou Zhou had taken antipyretic medicine and was lying on the hospital bed with an IV drip.
The high fever was 40.1℃, and the doctor recommended an IV drip because he was worried that she would have convulsions or brain damage.
Jiang Xia asked the doctor to prescribe a roll of gauze and borrowed a kettle from the nurse. He wet the gauze and wiped Zhou Zhou's forehead, armpits and other parts to cool them down.
Zhou Chenglei was afraid that Jiang Xia would be scalded by the hot water, so he wet the gauze, wrung it dry, and handed it to Jiang Xia to help Zhou Zhou wipe it.
The young nurse, who had nothing to do, came to help cool Zhou Zhou down. When she saw the couple working together seamlessly, she felt that the air was full of pink bubbles.
She curiously inquired from Jiang Xia: "Your daughter is this big now? That day your wife came to me nervously holding you, and I thought you were newlyweds."
Jiang Xia relaxed and smiled: "We are newlyweds, this is our niece, the daughter of my wife's third brother."
When Zhou Chenglei heard Jiang Xia call him "my love", he couldn't help but look at her, with a smile on his brows.
"I was wondering, you look so young and pretty, only about 17 or 18 years old, younger than me, how could you give birth to such a big daughter?"
The young nurse was a dreamy person. She had just wondered in her mind whether the child was born to Zhou Chenglei and his ex-wife, and Jiang Xia was the stepmother.
Jiang Xia: "I'm already twenty years old."
The young nurse looked at Jiang Xia's skin with envy and said, "Twenty? Same as me, but you look younger than me, and your skin is so good."
Jiang Xia smiled and said, "We are similar. I am just a little whiter. You should wear sunscreen when you go out..."
There were not many patients in the hospital at night, so the young nurse pulled Jiang Xia aside to talk, and somehow they started talking about the ages of their respective men.
Jiang Xia: "My lover is nine years older than me."
Jiang Xia has seen their marriage certificate.
The young nurse was so surprised that she blurted out, "Nine years older? That means he's almost thirty. Is he that old?"
Old man Zhou Chenglei: "..."
The young nurse saw the old man's face darken, and was so scared that she dared not say anything. "But I can't tell. Your wife looks young, like she is only 25 or 26 years old. Well, I have enough time to check the ward."
Then ran away!
The truth is, whenever Zhou Chenglei has a stern face, everyone is afraid of him.
His expression towards Jiang Xia was gentle.
Jiang Xia looked at Zhou Chenglei's dark face with amusement. The fact was that Jiang Xia also lived to the age of 28 in his previous life, so naturally he would not think Zhou Chenglei was old.
Zhou Chenglei breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the smile in her eyes. His expression softened when he saw the smile in her eyes, and he asked her, "Are you sleepy?"
Jiang Xia nodded: "A little bit, you sit on the bed, I'll lie on your legs for a while, you watch the drip."
Jiang Xia was not actually sleepy. She had taken a nap on the bicycle. However, there was only one chair, so Jiang Xia sat down. Zhou Chenglei was standing the whole time and refused to sit down even if he was asked to.
Zhou Chenglei sat down at the end of the bed, and Jiang Xia put his hand on his thigh and rested his forehead on it.
Although he said he was not sleepy, Jiang Xia fell asleep not long after lying down.
She has very good sleep quality and falls asleep in seconds every time.
Seeing that Jiang Xia fell asleep, Zhou Chenglei put an extra shirt on her, then turned his head to look at Zhou Zhou who was sleeping under a thin quilt and the hanging bottle, which was still half full, and it would probably take until twelve o'clock.
Zhou Chenglei retracted his gaze, lowered his head to look at the back of Jiang Xia's head, and gently touched it. Then he helped her to tidy up her hair, pulled her shirt, turned his head to check if there were any mosquitoes biting her arms and ankles, pinched her pink fingertips, and played with her pigtails...
The sharp eyebrows are only left with tenderness, and the small movements are constant and tireless.
Of course, he did not forget to pay some attention to Zhou Zhou and the IV.
The old doctor took up the newspaper and covered his face.
It's an eyesore!
Little nurse with starry eyes: He really loves me! It seems that older men are better!
So the young nurse took out some letter paper and wrote a letter to her boyfriend, sharing this scene with her military boyfriend so that he could learn from it.
An hour passed quietly as Zhou Chenglei enjoyed doing this little trick. The liquid in the drip bottle was almost gone, so Zhou Chenglei called for a nurse.
Jiang Xia was also woken up. She raised her head and found that the corners of her mouth were a little warm. She lowered her head to glance at Zhou Chenglei's trouser legs and saw that there was indeed a wet spot on his army green trousers, which was particularly obvious.
Jiang Xia: “…”
The nurse hadn't noticed yet, so she pulled out the needle, took out the thermometer and took a look: "38.2 degrees."
Jiang Xia pulled Zhou Chenglei up, and then secretly stood in front of Zhou Chenglei.
Zhou Chenglei had a smile on his face.
The old doctor noticed Jiang Xia's little action and said nothing: "The fever hasn't completely subsided, but it's low. Go home and drink more water, eat a lighter diet, take medicine on time, and pay more attention. Children's fevers are prone to recurring. Go home quickly."
"Thank you, doctor." Zhou Chenglei picked up Zhou Zhou and said to Jiang Xia, "Let's go home."

The two walked out together, and the young nurse whispered to Jiang Xia: "Your husband really loves you."
Jiang Xia didn't understand.
Zhou Chenglei didn't notice Jiang Xia following him and turned around.
The young nurse smiled and said, "Go back quickly and be careful on the road."
Jiang Xia smiled, thanked him, and left the clinic with Zhou Chenglei.
They got home at half past twelve. After settling Zhou Zhou down, the couple washed their hands and faces and lay back in bed. It was already one o'clock.
They had to go out to sea tomorrow, so they slept in each other's arms and did nothing else.
After sleeping for three hours, Zhou Chenglei got up and went out to sea. Jiang Xia did not go because he was afraid that Zhou Zhou would have a fever and Zhou's mother would not be able to handle it alone at home.
Jiang Xia slept until dawn before waking up. Zhou's mother had already finished all the housework at home. She smiled and said to Jiang Xia, "There is porridge and corn in the pot. You take care of Zhou Zhou. She took medicine and breakfast at seven o'clock and went to sleep again. I'll go to the vegetable garden."
Jiang Xia smiled and said "OK", and Zhou's mother went out carrying a load of urine buckets.
Vegetable Garden
Tian Caihua came to the vegetable garden early in the morning to water the vegetables and met Wen Wan who also came to the vegetable garden to water the vegetables early in the morning.
The vegetable gardens of the two villages were separated by a dirt road.
Wen Wan called Tian Caihua and handed her a stack of letters with a smile: "Sister Caihua, I went to the city yesterday and a man named Wu asked me to write a letter to Sister Jiang Xia. I was just thinking of delivering it to her after I finished soaking the vegetables, but I have to go back to herd sheep soon. Can you help me deliver it?"
When Tian Caihua heard about gay, she immediately took the letter and asked, "What gay?"
"He said he was Sister Jiang Xia's high school classmate named Wu, and asked me if I knew Sister Jiang Xia, and then asked me to give the letter to Sister Jiang Xia."
Early in the morning, many women from both villages came to water the vegetables.
When everyone heard about Jiang Xia’s high school classmate, they pricked up their ears.
Pan Daidi also heard it, and when she saw Zhou's mother coming over, she immediately shouted, "Could it be that male classmate who eloped with her in the past? Could that male be writing to ask her to elope again? Some people look like vixens, and I know she is not a law-abiding person. Sooner or later, she will run away with another man!"
Pan Daidi hated Jiang Xia so much that she wanted to throw all the dirty laundry on him, regardless of whether it was true or not.
