Chapter 154: Leave
Yang Jinsheng was still half asleep when he was pushed awake, but when he heard that his son had a fever, he immediately woke up. He knelt on the bed, reached out, and touched his son's forehead. It was a little hot, but he was not sure.
"Xiaobai, move aside. I'll kiss his forehead." Yang Jinsheng picked up the child and kissed Yang Jiabao on the forehead. Then he said seriously, "He really has a fever. Xiaobai, turn on the light."
Jiang Xinbai quickly reached out to the wall and touched the light switch. She pressed it and the whole room was lit up. She turned around and saw her son's red face. Her eyes were red. "It's all my fault. I slept too deeply. I don't know how long Xiaobao has had a fever."
Yang Jinsheng dressed the child swiftly and urged, "Xiaobai, put on your clothes first and take Xiaobao to the hospital."
"Oh, okay," Jiang Xinbai reacted and quickly put on her clothes, took the money and followed her husband out.
Yang Jinsheng handed the child to his wife, then pushed the bicycle out from the utility room, "Come, let's go for a ride. Xiaobai, hold Xiaobao tightly, I'll ride slowly."
"Yeah," Jiang Xinbai hugged his son tightly in his arms, pursed his lips, and looked worried.
When it was just getting light, Jiang Xinbai and his wife came back with the child. On the way, they met Auntie Sun who had just returned from the public toilet. She was startled to see the two of them coming back with the child. She hurried over to take a look and asked, "What happened? Is the child feeling unwell?"
Jiang Xinbai looked exhausted, and smiled helplessly, "This kid had a high fever in the middle of the night. Jinsheng and I had no experience, so we picked him up and ran to the hospital. The doctor on duty happened to be in the toilet with diarrhea, so we had no choice but to go to a farther hospital. It took us until this time to go back and forth. I don't have much milk, and the child just cried because he was hungry."
"Oh, the fever is gone now, right? Let me see, poor little thing." Aunt Sun looked at the child in Jiang Xinbai's arms, only to see that his face was red and he was sleeping soundly!
"The fever has gone away now, but the doctor said it might come back, so he prescribed some medicine, saying that you might cough after the fever goes down, and he also prescribed cough medicine. Alas, this is the first time he's been sick since he was born, and we two don't know anything. We were so anxious last night." Jiang Xinbai now regretted moving out. If her mother-in-law was still around, she and Jinsheng wouldn't have to be so panicked.
"Oh, it's okay. Children all go through this. Several of my family members went through this too. If you have any questions in the future, just ask me. I'm very experienced in taking care of children. Also, even though the child has a fever, you can't cover him too much. You need to dissipate the heat. And don't listen to other people who say to wipe the child's body with white wine. The doctor said that children have delicate skin and can't stand it."
Auntie Sun didn't say anything. There was a child in the alley ahead who wore too many clothes when he had a fever and covered himself with a blanket. He was suffocated to death. It was really pitiful. As for rubbing white wine to reduce fever, well, that was a stupid thing she had done before. She made the child's body red and was scolded by the doctor.
Jiang Xinbai thanked Aunt Sun and said, "Aunt Su, you are more experienced than us. I will have to learn from you about raising children in the future. Thank you so much."
Aunt Sun blushed and waved her hands, saying, "Oh, what kind of knowledge is this? If you have any questions in the future, just come and ask me."
"Oh, okay, thank you Aunt Sun."
"Okay, the sun hasn't risen yet and it's cold, hurry up and send the kids back."
"Okay, then Aunt Sun, you go ahead and get busy." After saying that, Jiang Xinbai and her husband went home with the child.
After putting the child on the bed, Jiang Xinbai touched his little hand, then his little face, and asked uncertainly: "Jinsheng, feel it and see if it has a fever again?"
When Yang Jinsheng heard his wife say this, he quickly stepped forward and tried it with his lips, but he was still not sure, so he took out a thermometer from his bag and said, "Use this to measure. Fortunately, I bought one from the doctor. Come on, take off the child's clothes and clamp it under his armpits."
"Hey, okay, go check the time. Didn't the doctor say to measure it for five minutes?"
"Okay, I'll go right away." After saying that, Yang Jinsheng walked towards the living room and came back soon.
"Wow, mommy, mommy," At this time, the sleeping Yang Jiabao made an uncomfortable humming sound and called for his mother in a crying voice, which made Jiang Xinbai burst into tears.
"My dear, mom is here. Just be good and you will be fine soon, ah."
Yang Jinsheng looked at his wife's smooth wrist and said, "You still need a watch. Wait for me to exchange a watch ticket and then I will buy you a watch."
"You don't need it? How about I buy it for you first!"
"I don't need it. It's enough if someone in the family has one. Didn't you always say you wanted to buy me one when we just got married? Now that we have money at home, let's buy it." Yang Jinsheng thought about asking his colleagues and asking whoever has a watch ticket to exchange it for another one with extra money.
"By the way, Jinsheng, I won't be going to work today. When you go to work, please stop by the hotel and ask for leave for me. Fortunately, I have the night shift today, so it won't delay anything." The child has a fever, and Jiang Xinbai is worried about leaving the child with her mother-in-law, so she decided to take a day off first!
"Okay, I'll go to my mom's place later and ask her to come over and help you."
"Okay, I can't handle it alone."
"Okay, it's time, let's check if he has a fever." Jiang Xinbai said as she took out the thermometer from the child's armpit and handed it to her husband.
Yang Jinsheng held the thermometer and squinted his eyes to check it. "Well, 36.5 degrees, I don't think I have a fever, I'm fine."
"It's good that it's not burnt. It's good that it's not burnt. Go buy your breakfast outside!"
"Well, I'll leave now and go to mom's place first."
Less than ten minutes after Yang Jinsheng left, Sun Erni arrived.
As soon as she entered the yard, she ran straight into the room and looked at her eldest grandson on the bed with worry, "Xinbai, why did Xiaobao have a fever? Oh, poor Xiaobao, what did the doctor say?"
"The doctor said it might be a cold, it's not a big deal. Mom, how come you came so quickly? Did you miss breakfast? I didn't eat breakfast either. I'll make some noodles and we can eat together!"
"Hey, why are you eating noodles? What a waste. Just wait, I have steamed multi-grain buns at home. I'll go back and get some." After saying that, he ran away in a hurry. Jiang Xinbai's efforts to stop him were in vain.
"Sister Xiaobai," Li Lele's voice came from the yard at this time.
"Hey, it's in the room!"
Li Lele came in with two bowls in her hands. "Sister Xiaobai, my mother-in-law said that Xiaobao has a fever. She knew you just came back, so she must not have made breakfast. Here, this is the porridge my family cooked. I'll bring you some porridge, okay? Where's Brother Yang?"
Jiang Xinbai quickly reached out to take the bowl, "Oh, sorry to bother you, Jinsheng has already gone to work, how about you take a bowl back?"
