The three children were all skinny and small, and it was heartbreaking to look at them. Although they were not his children, they were related to this body by blood, and they had called him second uncle, so he didn't want anything to happen to them.
Jiang Shuyao felt very sorry for them, especially the youngest baby, who had just grabbed her finger tightly when she was feeding him medicine. He was so small and tender, with his eyes closed uncomfortably. She felt inexplicably soft and sour in her heart.
In fact, at the beginning she was still thinking about the four children, whether they were easy to raise and so on, but now she has nothing in her mind. She is just afraid that the children’s temperature cannot be lowered and they will become stupid or die from fever.
Fortunately, after taking the medicine and undergoing physical cooling, the body temperatures of all three children dropped. The tree roots, which burned the most, also cooled down the most significantly, and their bodies no longer felt as frighteningly hot as before.
Jiang Shuyao asked Hao Yuanchao to send the barefoot doctor and Tiezhu away. She planned to use a thermometer to measure the child's temperature. It was not an axillary thermometer, but an electronic thermometer, which was fast and accurate and was specially designed for children. When she went to buy it, she didn't notice that she bought the wrong one and bought the adult one instead. The children's one had been put aside and she never thought she would have the chance to use it.
This thermometer only needs to touch the child's forehead or ear with the detection head to get the temperature in one second. It is fast and accurate, small in size and does not contain mercury. Many people in later generations will buy this and keep it at home as a backup to avoid the child having a fever without noticing that it has burned out.
To be on the safe side, Jiang Shuyao measured the forehead and ears, and finally concluded that the temperature of the tree roots was 38.2℃, which was between low fever and high fever. The two smaller ones were 37.8℃ and 37.5℃, which were low fevers, so she breathed a sigh of relief. However, she couldn't let it go because they were too young and had to be sent to the hospital.
So the two of them dressed the child and wrapped him in a blanket, preparing to go to the hospital overnight. As for Tiezhu, they asked him to go back first because the bicycle could not carry so many people.
Tiezhu looked hesitantly at his younger siblings, then at Hao Yuanchao and Jiang Shuyao. Thinking of their behavior just now, he nodded and said, "I'll wait for you at home. Please come back early."
He is also a sensible child.
So Shugen was woken up and placed on the front bumper, Jiang Shuyao sat in the back seat holding the two children, and with a flashlight, Hao Yuanchao went to the town.
It was the first time for Hao Yuanchao to carry so many people, so he was relatively calm. However, Jiang Shuyao was terrified holding the children in the back. The two babies were wrapped in a blanket together. Jiang Shuyao was afraid that the children would be thrown off. She did not sit sideways, but sat with her legs apart in an ungraceful manner, with her arms around the children and her free fingers grabbing Hao Yuanchao's clothes. She looked ahead and saw that the tree roots were blocked by Hao Yuanchao and she should not be able to see them. She gritted her teeth and decided to put the two children in the space.
However, he found that he couldn't bring himself in at all, whether he sent it in with his mind or brought it in himself. This space could only bring an "outsider" like Hao Yuanchao in? Could it be that Hao Yuanchao also had a space in which he could enter freely?
Jiang Shuyao couldn't test it for the time being, so she could only continue to tremble with fear while protecting the child and holding the baby. "Please ride steadily."
Hao Yuanchao felt his heavy heart inexplicably relieved when he heard her trembling voice. He smiled and promised her, "Okay, don't be afraid."
Although the road was difficult to drive on, he had tied a flashlight to the front of the car as a headlight, had good night vision, was a good driver, and was very strong, so he was reluctant to let anyone fall no matter what.
Finally, we arrived at the town hospital safely.
"What?! You're going to marry Hao Yuanchao?" Jiang's mother stood up from the stool, her voice suddenly rising to express her shock and disbelief. "Didn't you explain it to him clearly? Why do you want to get married? Is he forcing you to..."
"I volunteered." Song Shuyao's face was calm. She made this decision after careful consideration. Although she still had a grudge against Liang Li's past actions and had not completely let it go, he was indeed the most suitable marriage partner in the world so far.
Firstly, they were from the same century and had space to know each other well. Secondly, she was not ashamed to say that she was not completely without feelings for him, and Liang Li's feelings for her were also unquestionable. He broke up with her for other reasons at that time. Even if that reason was unacceptable to her, the feelings were sincere and without betrayal. What's more, the most important thing is that he swore that his wealth and life would belong to her in this life, and he would never let her down again for other reasons, even if it was a favor. She chose to believe it, and then she could put it into action.
As for not getting married and insisting on being single, it was impossible. After all, this was the 1960s, a special period with strict morals. In rural areas, people could get married at the age of 16, and it was more relaxed in cities. But she was already 18 years old, old enough to get a marriage certificate, and she couldn't delay it for much longer. If she became an old maid, her family would be gossiped about by the neighbors and become the object of ridicule, and she wouldn't be a good candidate for marriage then.
There is a deeper reason that she is not the real Jiang Shuyao. She is afraid that something bad will happen if she stays with the Jiang family at home for too long. The best way is to stay away from the Jiang family with a legitimate reason. As time goes by and they spend less time together, even if her personality changes, the Jiang family will probably think that society has tempered her temperament.
