Chapter 84: Teaching by Example
Chu Hong and the others arrived at the hospital ward door. Before they pushed the door open, they heard Mr. He's loud voice: "...Fortunately, I have strong skills and fixed the car quickly, otherwise I would have been caught up by those road bullies."
Seeing Chu Hong and the others coming in, he greeted them cheerfully: "You're here, do you know what we can have for lunch?"
Chu Hong suspected that she was not seeing the same old man.
When I came yesterday, the old man was still groaning as if he was in great pain.
He is so smiling today, if he wasn't lying on the hospital bed, he would look like he was bragging with his old friends at home.
She smiled and said, "For lunch, there is crucian carp soup and lotus root."
After all, those crucian carps have been repaired, and they will not be fresh if they are not eaten soon.
"It might be chicken noodle soup tonight."
This is also the advice Chu Hong gave to her sister. Noodles cooked in old hen soup will definitely be delicious. If you put a chicken leg on top, it will be a very luxurious meal for patients.
The most important thing is that it is easier to eat this way.
Grandpa He was very satisfied after hearing this. He turned around and smiled at his wife on the bed, "You like to eat pasta. Why don't you ask the old man to buy some meat to make dumplings tomorrow?"
Even though Aunt He's hand was still on her neck, she was still very kind: "I think you want to eat dumplings? And you have to use me as an excuse."
When Chu Hong heard what the old couple said, she began to envy the He family.
This is chicken noodle soup and dumplings, who doesn’t like it?
She even wanted to compete with Chu Dan for the job.
Thinking of my grandparents, they would be satisfied just by having a meal of white flour.
Chu Tong was not familiar with Gu Ci. After talking to everyone for a few words, she was pulled aside by Aunt He to talk.
Chuchu and the other three younger ones had already run to Chu Yan, asking about his well-being with concern. The four children huddled together and talked in low voices.
It’s just that Chu Yan would cough a few times from time to time.
In order to keep warmer, Gu Ci and Chu Yan shared a bed. Fortunately, they were both thin, so it was warmer to squeeze together.
Chu Hong asked, "Has your fever gone down?"
"Xiao Yan still has a fever and is coughing again. The doctor also said it would be best to stay one more day for observation, for fear of causing bronchial and lung problems." After Gu Ci finished speaking, he whispered, "I'm fine now. I just want to stay with Xiao Yan for a while. I said I was still a little dizzy so I could stay."
Hospitals today won't be overcrowded.
Because most people are reluctant to spend money recklessly, people like Uncle He who are not short of money are a minority after all.
However, the hospital is also urging patients who are almost recovered to be discharged and go home as soon as possible to avoid wasting medical resources.
The reason why Gu Ci was able to stay despite his dizziness was because word spread throughout the hospital that Gu Ci fell ill in order to save his four children.
Only then will I be extra tolerant towards him.
He was afraid that Chu Hong would worry, and that his grandparents would also worry after hearing the news, so he pretended to be relaxed and said, "All four of their children are weak, and the other three are still having fever and coughing. The doctor said this is normal."
Chu Hong thought that if the fever subsided and she only had a cough, it would be better to go back and let Grandma Jia help her take care of herself.
"That's good. Just listen to the doctor and you'll get better soon."
Xiao Yuer came to Chu Hong from the other side of the bed and whispered, "Aunt, can you leave some cookies for Brother Xiao Yan?"
"Sure." Chu Hong was quite patient with the child: "Xiao Yu'er is generous and friendly to his friends. He is really a good child."
Xiao Yuer was so embarrassed by the praise that her face turned red. She whispered in a childish voice, "When I was sick before, my mother gave me biscuits. After I was full, I felt that I was cured."
Chu Hong took out the broken biscuits and asked Xiao Yuer to share them with everyone.
They had eaten noodles in the morning and were a little hungry now. Chu Hong felt that it was very inconvenient not to have a watch.
Thinking that Gu Ci was wearing a watch, she reached out to lift his sleeve to check the time.
But when Gu Ci found Chu Hong touching his wrist, his heart almost jumped out of his chest, and he quickly held her hand with his other hand.
Her hands were cooler than his own, but very soft, making him want to hold them tightly.
Even though his face was flushed at the moment, he felt that he was a man and could not be shy like a girl, so he mustered up the courage to look up at her.
Gu Ci: There were so many people in the ward that I was too embarrassed to express my feelings, but she was sure she could understand the look in my eyes.
Chu Hong was a little confused. Why was he holding her hand?
Looking at his affectionate eyes again, I felt a little hot: This guy, even if he wants to confess his feelings, he has to consider the right time and place, right?
Doing this kind of thing in front of the child, isn't he afraid of corrupting the child?
Chu Hong struggled to break free, and then looked at the children who were whispering together and didn't notice his little action. She glared at him and whispered, "Be reserved."
Gu Ci was a little confused: Didn’t she touch his hand first? How can I make myself more reserved?
He felt that this might be what his former classmates had said, that girls just like to act unreasonably and like to put the blame on others?
When he first heard this, he thought his classmates were stupid.
Now it was his turn, and he found her particularly cute like this.
Gu Ci couldn't help but look at her and smile.
Seeing his uncontrollable joy, Chu Hong was so tickled that she started laughing herself.
Chu Tong, who was talking to the two old people on the other side, saw that her sister seemed to be talking to Gu Ci, and asked with a smile: "What are you talking about? You look so happy?"
Chu Hong rolled her eyes and thought of a way to perfunctorily answer: "He said the bed was too small and he fell off the bed last night."
When Mr. He heard this, he felt like he had found a confidant: "That's right, I almost fell down too. Fortunately, we can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow."
Chu Hong was a little surprised when she heard this: "You guys can be discharged from the hospital too?"
Aunt He said kindly, "The surgery has been done. The doctor said that if there is no inflammation after two days of observation, you can go home."
"It's not convenient to eat and live here, so I'll go live at my parents' house for a few days. If you have time, come visit me."
Chu Hong heard her enthusiastic invitation and smiled and agreed: "Okay, we will definitely go. It will take a hundred days to heal the broken bones. Grandpa and grandma take good care of them."
Grandpa He looked at Chu Hong with bright eyes and said, "We also want to take good care of them, but the things on the black market are too expensive. If you have chickens, ducks, etc., can you bring some out for us?"
Chu Hong also nodded: "Okay, I've told my aunt that she will send some lotus root clips out tomorrow."
Secretary Song and Wu Xiu also pushed the door open and came in.
Since they had arrived, they all went to see the three children in the village and the villagers who were accompanying them.
Secretary Song came in and asked Gu Ci first: "Dahao and the others are still having fever and coughing, how are you two?"
"Don't worry, uncle. I'm almost well now." Gu Ci thought of the two people in front of him, who would soon become his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and wanted to entertain them: "It's almost eleven o'clock, uncle and aunt, why don't you have lunch before going back?"
