Chapter 99: No Bathing for a Cold

In the days that followed, Jiang Tang was peaceful for a long time. Spring passed and autumn came, and it was October in a flash.

At night, Jiang Tang was awakened by the knocking on the door outside the yard. She woke up in Qin Xiao's arms. Qin Xiao raised his hands to cover the little girl's ears, listening to the movement outside the yard, and faintly heard Zhang Hetian's voice.

Qin Xiao immediately sat up from the bed. Jiang Tang also heard the sound and followed Qin Xiao to stand up.

"At this point, I'm afraid it's the one in Juan'er's belly."

Jiang Tang said as he quickly got up and dressed.

Qin Xiao hummed in a low voice, and the couple did not delay. They just put on a coat and went downstairs in their slippers.

Qin Xiao ran ahead with big strides, and Jiang Tang followed closely behind him. As the distance got closer, Zhang Hetian's voice became clearer.

Qin Xiao opened the door. The person at the door was Zhang Hetian, with cold sweat on his face. When he saw Qin Xiao and Jiang Tang coming out, his voice was full of anxiety.

"Brother Xiao, please drive. Juan'er has a stomachache."

He probably thought she was about to give birth, but Jiang Tang and Qin Xiao knew it without him saying anything. Qin Xiao immediately drove the car, and Jiang Tang followed Zhang Hetian and quickly ran to his house.

On the sofa, Wen Juan was covered in cold sweat and couldn't help groaning in pain.

"Hetian, hurry up and carry Juan'er to the car."

Zhang Hetian picked up Wenjuan quietly and rushed to the door. Qin Xiao had already opened the car door. Seeing Zhang Hetian carrying Wenjuan into the back seat, Jiang Tang immediately took the prepared things and got in the passenger seat. Qin Xiao drove to the hospital without wasting time. There were few cars on the road at night, so Qin Xiao accelerated and arrived at the hospital soon.

Jiang Tang followed behind with the prepared things, and Zhang Hetian ran inside holding Wen Juan.

After entering the hall, a nurse quickly took over and led Zhang Hetian over, while Qin Xiao handled the formalities behind.

After Qin Xiao finished the formalities, Wen Juan was successfully taken to the delivery room. At the door, Zhang Hetian squatted, staring at the lit light without blinking.

Jiang Tang sat on the bench in the corridor, her eyes directed towards Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao nodded slightly, walked to Zhang Hetian, and patted his shoulder gently as a silent comfort.

Originally, when the due date was approaching, they planned to let Wenjuan stay in the hospital until she gave birth. However, Wenjuan didn't like the smell of disinfectant in the hospital and felt uncomfortable there. Zhang Hetian didn't want to make things difficult for his wife. Since they were staying in the city anyway, he let Wenjuan stay at home by herself, and it would be convenient for him to take leave to take care of her.

"Hetian, I'm sure everything will be fine, don't worry."

Jiang Tang knew that he couldn't help but worry, but looking at Zhang Hetian's haggard face, he still spoke in a low voice.

Zhang Hetian shook his head gently, "Yeah, I know."

This is Wenjuan's first child, and the two of them are complete novice parents-to-be. The sudden arrival of the baby in the middle of the night must have caught them off guard.

The three people waited at the door of the delivery room for a long time. Nurses came in and out from time to time. Every time, Zhang Hetian couldn't help but want to go forward and ask, but he was afraid of delaying things.

The three of them paced back and forth in the corridor, staring at the door of the delivery room with red eyes.

They arrived at the hospital at three in the morning. It was not until the sky outside gradually brightened that the door of the delivery room was opened again. This time, the three of them hurried over.

The nurse smiled and said, "Mother and child are safe."

After hearing the nurse's words, Zhang Hetian seemed to have heard the sound of nature, and he sat on the ground exhausted.

Jiang Tang stepped forward quickly, "Is the pregnant woman okay now? Can we go check on her?"

When she asked this, Zhang Hetian, who was sitting on the ground, quickly got up and looked at the nurse, "Can I go in to see my wife now?"

The nurse looked at Zhang Hetian and said, "Family members can go in to take a look, but not too many people should be present."

Jiang Tang looked at Zhang Hetian and said, "Hetian, go check on Juan'er first. Qin Xiao and I will take the baby's things and Juan'er's things to the ward."

Zhang Hetian's eyes were red, and he nodded immediately, "Sister-in-law, Brother Xiao is troubling you."

Qin Xiao raised his hand and squeezed Zhang Hetian's shoulder. Zhang Hetian nodded and then entered the delivery room.

Jiang Tang and Qin Xiao entered the ward first, carrying the bags of things they had prepared.

Pack up all of Wenjuan's things and put them on the bedside table.

After a while, Wenjuan was pushed into the ward on a stretcher, and Zhang Hetian worked with the nurse to move Wenjuan to the bed.

Wen Juan's eyes were half drooped, her face looked miserable. Jiang Tang couldn't help but gently pinch Qin Xiao's arm with his fingers, his eyes full of heartache.

Qin Xiao also noticed Wen Juan's expression. His dark eyes moved to the thin girl beside him, his eyes dimmed slightly.

Jiang Tang didn't notice his gaze. Seeing Wen Juan lying on the bed, she immediately went to her, not daring to touch her. She asked repeatedly, "Juan'er, are you okay?"

Wen Juan's head moved weakly, her eyes looked at Jiang Tang, and she forced a smile on her lips, "Sister-in-law, I'm fine, don't worry."

Zhang Hetian sat next to Wenjuan.

After a while, the nurse came over carrying the baby. The little guy's crying made the quiet hospital noisy for a while. From the sound of the baby's crying, you could tell that the baby was very big.

The nurse smiled and held the baby in front of Wen Juan. "Tsk, I rarely see such a fair and tender baby. He is not too big. You are such a considerate mother. He is healthy and easy to give birth to."

Wenjuan's gaze fell from Zhang Hetian to the baby wrapped in a blanket. The baby's eyebrows were not very deep yet, and his hair was lightly furred. It was still a little wrinkled when he was just born, but just as the nurse said, the baby was beautifully white and tender.

Wen Juan was delighted when she saw this. She gently poked Zhang Hetian, who had no idea that he was a father, and said softly, "You're a father now."

Zhang Hetian seemed to have reacted. He looked at his newborn baby with gentle features and a hint of kindness in his eyes.

Jiang Tang also looked at the baby, whose white and tender skin made people like her. However, she looked at Wen Juan and said softly, "Qin Xiao and I will go out to buy you some food. We will also inform Lei Zi and Guo Hui. Otherwise, he will be the last to know and will definitely complain for a long time."

Zhang Hetian stood up and said, "Sister-in-law, Brother Xiao, thank you for your help."

From last night till now, the word he talked about the most was trouble. Jiang Tang shook his head, and he and Qin Xiao left the ward one after another.

I went downstairs and borrowed the hospital's phone number and called Lei Zi first. At this time, Wang Qilei had already arrived at the factory. After answering the phone, he rushed to the hospital without stopping.

Qin Xiao called Liu Guohui's office again. Their unit was different from Qin Xiao's factory and they could not leave their posts at will. Liu Guohui could only come when he had time.

After everyone had been notified, Jiang Tang took Qin Xiao out and went to the hospital entrance to buy some nutritious food for Wen Juan.

Qin Xiao stared at the little girl holding his hand, walked over with broad steps, lowered his tough face, and said in a low voice, "We don't want children."

Jiang Tang was stunned when he heard this. He turned to stare at the expressionless man next to him and raised his hand to wave, "What?"

Qin Xiao stretched out his hand and gently pinched the little girl's fair face. He couldn't imagine that he would see signs of misfortune on this rosy little face.

"No children."

Jiang Tang frowned slightly, staring at the man's eyes that didn't seem to be joking, and asked softly, "Qin Xiao, are you scared?"

There was a smile on her lips, with a hint of sarcasm.

Who knew that the man would give a positive answer.

"Afraid."

Jiang Tang looked up at the man beside her, and inserted her fingertips into Qin Xiao's five fingers little by little, then clasped their fingers together and shook them gently.

"Then let's talk about it later."

"We don't have any children yet, so don't worry about it."

Qin Xiao responded indifferently, staring into the little girl's eyes with his dark eyes.

Jiang Tang coughed lightly, not caring whether they were outside or not. She stood on tiptoe, raised her face and kissed the man on the lips, but the kiss was immediate and final.

"Okay, let's go buy breakfast for Juan'er and the others first. Chuyang is still waiting at home. I'll go back and pick him up later. He's also looking forward to the baby."

Qin Xiao's eyes deepened slightly, and he hummed. Jiang Tang smoothly led the person out.

After buying Wenjuan a bowl of pigeon soup and some soft and glutinous porridge at the door, the couple returned to the hospital.

When I arrived at the door of the ward, I saw Wang Qilei sitting next to Wen Juan. His voice was rare to be low in the hospital.

"Sister Juan'er, where is my nephew?"

Zhang Hetian hit him on the head rudely and he touched his head in frustration.

Jiang Tang and Qin Xiao walked in carrying things and handed them to Zhang Hetian.

"Feed Juan'er first. They are all soft. Let her eat some to replenish her energy. I will make some soup for her at home tomorrow. She needs to nourish herself well after giving birth."

Zhang Hetian held the things and hummed in a depressed tone.

Without his sister-in-law to take care of him, he would be so busy that he wouldn't be able to take care of anything.

However, even if it would trouble his sister-in-law, for the sake of his wife's health, Zhang Hetian still couldn't bear to say politely no.

Sitting next to her, feeding Wenjuan breakfast bit by bit.

Wang Qilei stood next to Qin Xiao and spoke softly, "Brother Xiao, have you seen my nephew? Does he look good? Does he look like Sister Juan or Brother Hetian?"

Qin Xiao glanced at him indifferently, and Wang Qile touched his nose and coughed lightly.

"Haha, Brother Hetian also has a child now."

He looked at Qin Xiao and Jiang Tang and laughed, "Brother Xiao, when will you and sister-in-law give me a nephew to play with?"

Hearing this, Jiang Tang tilted his head and glanced at the expressionless man next to him. He didn't dare to tell Wang Qile that his brother Xiao was scared by giving birth and had no plans to have children.

She whispered, "Qin Xiao, go home first and take Chuyang to eat, then bring him back to the hospital. I'll take care of Juan'er in the hospital first."

Juan'er is a girl, she is the best person to take care of us here and she can't leave.

Qin Xiao also knew it, so he responded in a low voice, said hello to Zhang Hetian, and went out first.

"Chuyang is still at home." Wen Juan said weakly, "He is still so young, he must be scared."

This was another unexpected situation for them, and it was unavoidable. Jiang Tang smiled and shook his head, looking at Wen Juan, "Chu Yang is very brave, Juan'er, you know, he can take care of himself even when his brother and I are sleeping."

Wenjuan recalled what happened before and couldn't help laughing and nodded softly.

At noon, Qin Xiao brought Qin Chuyang over, and they were also accompanied by Liu Guohui and Lu Fang. It was not suitable for too many people to stay in the ward, so they came in to see Wen Juan, and Jiang Tang took Qin Chuyang out first.

Sitting in the corridor, Qin Chuyang blinked his big eyes at Jiang Tang, "Sister-in-law, does Sister Wenjuan have a baby?"

Jiang Tang listened to the young man's words and couldn't help but reach out and touch his head. He hummed softly, "Well, there is a baby. Our Chuyang will be an uncle now."

Qin Chuyang's chubby little hand grabbed Jiang Tang's hand, "I know, brother is talking about my nephew, sister-in-law, when can I see my nephew?"

Jiang Tang touched his head and said, "Sister-in-law will take you to see the baby first."

She looked up at Qin Xiao and said, "They will probably be gone for a while. Let's go check on the kids first."

Qin Xiao nodded, "Yeah."

Jiang Tang took the little guy to see the baby, who was well taken care of by the nurses. It was estimated that after Wenjuan had recovered enough, they could let them take care of the baby themselves.

After seeing the child, the family returned to the ward, but Liu Guohui and Wang Qilei had already left.

Qin Xiao and Zhang Hetian were both in the hospital, so he had to go back to the factory to check on them. Liu Guohui also had to go back to his unit, so he could only come over to take a look during his breaks.

Lu Fang originally wanted to stay by Wen Juan's side and take care of her. After all, Wen Juan took care of her when she gave birth. However, she also had Ming Ming at home, and it was inconvenient for her to commute up and down the village.

Now that I have Jiang Tang, it is more convenient to live in the city, so I let her go back to take care of the family.

The ward suddenly became much quieter.

Jiang Tang sat next to Wen Juan.

Wen Juan's hand moved and she held Jiang Tang's hand, "Sister-in-law, I really want to be discharged from the hospital."

Jiang Tang patted her hands gently and said softly, "You will have to stay in the hospital for two or three days. Even if you are not used to the smell of disinfectant, you have to persevere for two days."

Wenjuan was a little disappointed, but she also knew that Jiang Tang was right.

Qin Chuyang stood obediently by the side, holding his chin and looking at Wen Juan on the bed.

In the afternoon, Jiang Tang let Qin Xiao go back.

"You go back first. I'll be back later. Buy the ingredients so I can cook for Juan'er tomorrow morning."

Qin Xiao nodded and took Qin Chuyang away.

Jiang Tang looked at Zhang Hetian again and said softly, "Hetian, find a place to rest for yourself. I will go back at night and you will be needed to guard the hospital. You can't stay here."

Zhang Hetian shook his head, "Sister-in-law, I'm fine."

As soon as she finished speaking, Wenjuan slapped her hard, although she didn't have much strength at the moment.

Zhang Hetian looked at Wenjuan.

Wen Juan complained, "Listen to your sister-in-law, you will have to endure raising children in the future."

Zhang Hetian responded, and there happened to be an empty bed in the ward. He lay down on the bed to rest and fell asleep almost as soon as he lay down.

Wenjuan turned her head to the side and could see the dark circles under her eyes, and she sighed.

"When I was giving birth, he was more tired than I was, especially in the late stages. It was hard for me to turn over at night, but he stayed up all night with me, massaging my belly, helping me turn over, and doing everything he could."

Jiang Tang looked at Zhang Hetian, and Qin Xiao's face flashed through her mind. If she was pregnant, Qin Xiao would do the same as Hetian, especially having to take care of the factory.

I sighed softly and said, let’s talk about it later.

Wen Juan looked at Jiang Tang without saying anything, touched Jiang Tang's hand, and said softly, "Sister-in-law, although I am very tired, but now I have you to accompany me, everyone is helping me, in fact, it is not as difficult as I imagined."

Jiang Tang blinked and asked softly, "Does giving birth hurt?"

She knew it would hurt, of course, especially now the conditions were not so good. However, no matter how painful it was, Jiang Tang wanted to know the exact extent of the pain, which was much better than not knowing.

Wen Juan nodded gently, "It hurts. I have no strength left in my body, but I still have to hold on with gritted teeth."

She couldn't explain it, but she was afraid that her sister-in-law would be frightened by her, so she didn't explain it in detail.

Jiang Tang took care of Wen Juan until the evening. Only after Zhang Hetian woke up did she leave the hospital and take a tricycle home.

When they got home, the gate was wide open and Jiang Tang pushed it open and walked in.

In the past, when she and Chuyang were alone at home, they were already used to closing the gate.

Qin Xiao and Chu Yang are quite unrestrained at home.

As soon as we entered the door, an adult, a child and Xiao Heidan came to greet us.

Qin Xiao said in a low voice, "Wash your hands first and eat."

Jiang Tang nodded, washed his hands, and went into the kitchen. Qin Xiao had already put the food on the table, so it was time to serve Jiang Tang the meal.

Jiang Tang sat down. She hadn't eaten for the whole afternoon. Now it was already evening and she was indeed hungry.

After dinner, it was already late. Jiang Tang did not delay and went to the bathroom to take a shower first, then went straight to the second floor and lay down on the bed.

As soon as he lay down suddenly, Jiang Tang felt that the aches and pains he had felt all day long were gone, and his fatigue was slowly relieving himself.

Qin Xiao pushed the door open and saw the little girl lying obediently in the quilt. He walked over in two steps and climbed onto the bed.

Jiang Tang closed his eyes and felt Qin Xiao's presence. He spoke softly, "Qin Xiao, remember to call me early tomorrow morning. I will make some nourishing soup for Juan'er."

Qin Xiao stretched out his rough knuckles and pressed the little girl's forehead again and again, and said in a low voice, "Are you tired?"

Jiang Tang rubbed the man's big hand, and said in a muffled voice under the quilt, "A little bit."

Qin Xiao massaged the little girl regularly.

Jiang Tang said in a daze, "Did you buy the things I asked you to buy?"

"Yes, I bought it."

Qin Xiao pinched the little girl's shoulders, pressing them from time to time.

The strength of the man's palm was just right. Jiang Tang slowly buried herself in Qin Xiao's arms and let Qin Xiao give her a massage.

"I estimate that after two days in the hospital, Juan'er will ask to go home. I heard that confinement after childbirth is very important, so we will do our best to take care of her when the time comes."

She grabbed the collar of Qin Xiao's pajamas and spoke softly, "Juan'er is in confinement, and He Tian must be there to take care of her. Whether it's taking care of Juan'er or the child, I guess he won't be able to leave this month."

"Please stay at the factory for a month and don't let him be too busy."

Qin Xiao responded in a low voice.

It is obvious that the little girl doesn't need to worry about these things, Hetian is his brother. Now that Wenjuan has given birth to a child, the little girl is busy taking care of her, which is heartbreaking to see.

Qin Xiao couldn't control the strength in his hands and it became even heavier.

Jiang Tang let out a low sigh, and Qin Xiao immediately stopped his force, saying in a gentle voice, "Does it hurt?"

Jiang Tang buried her whole head in his arms and swayed gently. Qin Xiao massaged her until she felt comfortable. She slowly fell asleep in the man's arms.

Qin Xiao kept massaging the person in his arms until late at night, then he fell asleep with the person in his arms.

The next morning, before daybreak, Jiang Tang woke up in a daze. The aches and pains in his body had mostly disappeared, and he slept soundly the whole night.

Probably it was Qin Xiao's credit. Thinking of this, Jiang Tang tilted her head and reached out to touch around. There was an empty space around her. Qin Xiao had already gotten up, and hadn't called her yet.

Jiang Tang rubbed his eyes, propped himself up on the bed, quickly got out of bed, changed his clothes, pushed the door open and went downstairs.

When I arrived at the kitchen, I saw the man had already put the pot on the stove.

Next to it are the cleanly washed ingredients.

Jiang Tang quickly washed up, went into the kitchen and took over Qin Xiao's work, and whispered.

"Don't forget to call me. Go get some sleep. You'll be busy in the factory. At least Wada and I can still take turns."

"There's still Lei Zi in the factory, so I won't be tired."

Jiang Tang nodded and said, "Okay, I can't argue with Qin Xiao."

She swiftly placed the casserole on the stove, added a thick white soup, and put the mushrooms and corn in.

After everything was ready, it was already eight o'clock in the morning. Qin Xiao sent Jiang Tang to the hospital gate, and then drove directly to the factory with Qin Chuyang.

Jiang Tang had to take care of Wen Juan, so Qin Chuyang could only follow Qin Xiao to the factory.

Jiang Tang carried the thermos bucket and bought some rice at the door before entering the ward.

When she came in, Wenjuan had already woken up, and Zhang Hetian next to her was wiping her face.

Jiang Tang came over with the thermos and spoke softly, "I made soup today. Juan'er should drink some tonic soup and eat some porridge. I brought rice for Hetian. After you wipe your face, you can eat first."

Zhang Hetian wrung the towel dry and took the basin to pour water.

When I came back, Jiang Tang was feeding Wen Juan bit by bit.

Seeing him coming back, she raised her voice and said, "Eat your breakfast first."

Zhang Hetian couldn't help drooling as he smelled the rich aroma. He responded and sat aside to open the rice that Jiang Tang had brought for him. He ate it with a delicious taste.

The other patients in the ward were tortured by the fragrance early in the morning, and they kept looking towards Jiang Tang and the others.

I didn't have the courage to ask.

Jiang Tang fed Wen Juan breakfast. After Zhang Hetian finished his meal, he took the thermos out to wash.

Jiang Tang looked at Wen Juan, "How was your day?"

Wen Juan's face turned redder. "Sister-in-law, I think I can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow."

She looked fine, so Jiang Tang was relieved. "Really? What did the doctor say?"

Wen Juan said, "The doctor said I would be hospitalized for two or three days and could be discharged after the examinations were all normal. I couldn't occupy a hospital bed if I didn't have any problem."

Jiang Tang couldn't help laughing, "I'm afraid you didn't add that last sentence yourself."

Wenjuan coughed lightly in embarrassment.

After talking for a while, Zhang Hetian came back, and Jiang Tang said, "Hetian, you should go to sleep for a while."

Zhang Hetian didn't close his eyes the whole night. Only now that Jiang Tang was able to take care of Wenjuan did he lie down on the bed and fall asleep.

In this way, Jiang Tang went to take care of Wen Juan every day. Wen Juan stayed in the hospital for three days, but she couldn't stay there any longer, so she went through the discharge procedures and was taken home to recuperate.

Jiang Tang clumsily held the baby in his arms, who looked like he had no bones, and said helplessly, "There are nurses in the hospital to help look after you. You two are both newbies, so it's inevitable that you won't be able to take good care of the child."

Wenjuan touched her head, feeling a little embarrassed. The little guy hummed and seemed to be dissatisfied with his parents.

Zhang Hetian said softly, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, we have hired someone to take care of you."

Jiang Tang looked at Wen Juan, and Wen Juan nodded, "Yes, I hired an auntie who can come over to help tomorrow."

She looked at Jiang Tang and said, "Sister-in-law, you have been working harder than me these days. You can rest well at home from now on."

Jiang Tang felt relieved after hiring an auntie. "It's good to hire an auntie. Otherwise, we are all inexperienced. Sister-in-law Lu Fang is in the village, which is really inconvenient."

Wen Juan nodded, "Yes, and besides, He Tian can't stay away from the factory all the time. He can't let Lei Zi and Xiao Ge be busy alone, and he can just sit back and do nothing."

"Even if there is an aunt, Hetian should stay at home for a few days and return to the factory after he has had enough rest. You can't bear to let him keep spinning like a top, right?"

Wenjuan responded embarrassedly.

Jiang Tang felt relieved because Wenjuan was being taken care of by her aunt. He stayed with Wenjuan for the whole afternoon before going home.

When she got home, only Xiao Heidan was waiting for her. As soon as he saw her coming back, he ran to Jiang Tang's feet happily, wagging his tail happily.

Jiang Tang first prepared some food for Xiao Heidan, then returned to the bedroom, lay down on the bed, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

When she woke up again, she was woken up by the man. Jiang Tang rubbed her eyes, tilted her head to look at the darkened window, propped up the bed with her hands, and looked at Qin Xiao with a slow reaction, "Qin Xiao...you're back."

Qin Xiao held the back of the little girl's head with his hand, his dark eyes filled with heartache, "Well, get up and have dinner before going to bed."

The little girl had slept all afternoon and had to eat.

Jiang Tang rested his head against Qin Xiao's chest, rubbing it gently, and muttered, "I don't want to eat."

She has no energy now.

Qin Xiao supported the back of Jiang Tang's head with one hand and the little girl's slender waist with the other hand. He picked her up and held her in his arms, then pushed open the door and walked out.

Jiang Tang felt himself moving slowly, and he leaned completely on Qin Xiao listlessly, with his chin on Qin Xiao's shoulder, his two feet dangling, and he was completely leaning on Qin Xiao, and was carried down the stairs.

The weather was not too cold, and Qin Xiao's chest was warm enough. Jiang Tang was carried into the bedroom. She sighed softly, put her hand on Qin Xiao's shoulder, and was about to get down.

Qin Xiao held the man's waist tightly and said in a low voice, "Eat and go to sleep."

There is absolutely no intention of letting anyone go.

The boy next to him looked up. How could Jiang Tang continue to rely on Qin Xiao? "Okay, I'll eat by myself."

The little girl's red ears were reflected in Qin Xiao's eyes, and he gradually loosened his hand and put Jiang Tang down.

Jiang Tang sat on the chair, looking at the food on the table, and said softly, "Did you bring it from the state-owned hotel?"

Qin Xiao nodded.

Jiang Tang touched Qin Chuyang's head and said, "Qin Xiao, you don't need to take Chuyang to the factory tomorrow."

Qin Xiao looked up at her.

Jiang Tang spoke softly, "Juan'er and Hetian plan to hire an auntie to take care of her during the confinement period and help take care of the baby."

She tilted her head and said, "It takes experience to take care of a child like this. I don't need to go over to take care of Juan'er tomorrow. I'll just let Chuyang stay at home with me."

Qin Xiao nodded, "Yes."

The man stared at the little girl with his dark eyes and whispered, "Have a good rest tomorrow. I will bring food when I come back."

Jiang Tang didn't have much energy right now and really wanted to have a good rest, so he nodded without thinking, "Yeah."

Then she thought of something, and turned to look at the boy next to her, and said softly, "Chuyang, do you want to stay at home, or do you want to go to the factory to play with your brother?"

Qin Chuyang had been in the factory with his brother for a few days, and the new atmosphere had long since worn off. He answered without hesitation, "Chuyang will stay at home with his sister-in-law."

Jiang Tang smiled and nodded. She stopped eating a little while for dinner. Since she was already up, Jiang Tang couldn't just go to sleep right after dinner.

I washed up first. I wasn't too sleepy. Although I felt lazy and had no energy, I wasn't sleepy.

Jiang Tang was curled up on the sofa, watching TV intermittently. Next to the sofa, Little Black Egg curled up his dark body and watched TV with Jiang Tang.

After Qin Xiao gave Qin Chuyang a bath and threw all the clothes into the washing machine, he entered the living room and saw a big and a small person, as well as a small black lump, watching TV.

He stared at the little girl, walked over and sat next to Jiang Tang, his thick black eyebrows wrinkled, "Aren't you going to sleep?"

Jiang Tang looked at him sideways, then softened and leaned softly on Qin Xiao's shoulder, her voice was sticky.

YH

, "I can't sleep."

The little girl obviously had no energy but couldn't fall asleep. Qin Xiao suddenly felt a little regretful that he shouldn't have woken her up.

He rubbed Jiang Tang's forehead with his fingertips neither lightly nor heavily. After rubbing for a while, Jiang Tang leaned completely on him and slowly fell asleep.

Qin Xiao's aura was warm and generous, and Jiang Tang was somewhat addicted to it.

Seeing that the little girl was leaning on him without any bones, Qin Xiao simply raised his arms and hugged her, holding her with his hands, and relieving her fatigue little by little.

Jiang Tang was drowsy, Qin Xiao massaged her for a long time, then held the little girl in his arms, went straight upstairs, slowly put her on the bed, and twirled the quilt for the little girl who was half asleep. Go downstairs quietly.

After the man washed all the dirty clothes, cleaned up the things downstairs, and sent Qin Chuyang to bed, she pushed the door and entered the bedroom.

The light in the bedroom was off. Qin Xiao didn't turn it on. He walked directly to the bed in the dark and climbed onto it.

He stretched out his long arms and hugged the little girl in his arms. Feeling the hot temperature in his arms, Qin Xiao frowned subconsciously.

The person in his arms was sleeping uneasily, humming and groaning, half asleep and half awake, his fingers grabbing Qin Xiao's clothes insecurely.

The man's rough palm instantly touched the girl's forehead. Qin Xiao's heart skipped a beat when he felt the hot temperature in his palm.

The sound of sand rolling in the throat.

The little girl was still unconsciously pushing against his body. Qin Xiao's mind went blank for a moment, and then he was filled with self-loathing and helplessness.

The little girl had a fever and he lost his job.

He covered Jiang Tang completely with the quilt, then stood up, pushed the door open and went downstairs to find some cold medicine. He also got some water and placed the teapot on the stove. His brows were furrowed tightly, unable to relax at all.

With his thick eyebrows furrowed, he stared at the teapot until the water boiled. Then Qin Xiao immediately poured it into the cup, cracked a small piece of brown sugar into it, picked up the medicine and went upstairs.

Arriving at the bedroom, the man turned on the bedroom light with a sullen face, placed warm water on the bedside table, and placed the pills next to it.

The room was suddenly lit up, and the little girl's flushed face instantly caught Qin Xiao's eyes.

The man's eyes were full of pity. Jiang Tang was half asleep and half awake, with sweat all over her cheeks and her hair on her forehead wet with sweat. She looked so pitiful.

Qin Xiao touched the water cup and felt the temperature was just right before he sat down on the bed. He gently stroked the little girl's flushed face and said in a hoarse voice, "Tangtang."

Jiang Tang felt as if she was in boiling water. She had no energy at all. Her body was so hot and uncomfortable that she almost cried out in her sleep.

When Jiang Tang heard the man's voice while she was groggy, tears welled up in her eyes and she felt a little aggrieved.

He grumbled and complained, calling out in his sleep, "Qin Xiao..."

She didn't know she had a fever, but she felt like crying when she heard Qin Xiao's voice.

The crystal tears in her eyes seemed to roll into Qin Xiao's heart, burning him so much that he felt unbearable pain.

Qin Xiao pressed his fingertips against the corners of the little girl's eyes, and his voice couldn't be softer.

"Tangtang, be good, get up and take your medicine first."

Jiang Tang struggled for a long time before he opened his eyes hazily. His eye sockets were misty and the tip of his nose was red.

She stared at the man sitting on the bed, her voice already nasal.

"Qin Xiao."

She didn't realize she had a cold yet.

Qin Xiao raised his hand and touched the little girl's red forehead, and said in a coaxing voice, "Be good, you have a cold, take some medicine and go to sleep."

Jiang Tang's mind was in a daze, and he had difficulty receiving the information from Qin Xiao. Looking at the man's lips opening and closing, Jiang Tang spoke weakly, his voice hoarse from illness, "Have you caught a cold?"

Her head slowly lifted up, and Qin Xiao's palm lifted it up, completely pressing against the back of the girl's head. Jiang Tang slowly half sat up and looked at the pills that Qin Xiao handed to her.

The girl immediately frowned and looked at Qin Xiao pitifully.

Qin Xiao knew that the little girl found the soup bitter, so he said gently, "Be good and drink it with sugar water."

Jiang Tang turned his head to look at the brown sugar water on the bedside table, which had completely melted.

She raised her hand gently and wrinkled her nose, "Give me the sugar water first."

Qin Xiao picked up the brown sugar water at just the right temperature and handed it to the little girl. Jiang Tang took it and took a sip. The sweet taste between her lips and teeth covered the bitter taste that was originally due to the cold.

She didn't ask for anything else. She obediently took the medicine from Qin Xiao's hand and went in along with the brown sugar water.

After taking the medicine, he immediately drank several sips of sugar water, then handed the cup to Qin Xiao with satisfaction.

Qin Xiao took it and touched the little girl's forehead, which was still hot.

Jiang Tang looked at the dark circles under Qin Xiao's eyes and said softly, "It's okay. Just sleep for a night. Qin Xiao, get some rest."

The little girl probably didn't know how pitiful she was right now. Qin Xiao's eyes were deep and he nodded.

Twist the quilt for the little girl to make it airtight.

Jiang Tang blinked lazily, "Why do I have a cold?"

She didn't remember that she caught a cold.

Qin Xiao shook his head gently. The little girl hadn't slept much these past few days. She had been taking care of Wen Juan in her spare time. She was already full of energy, and now that the energy had eased, her body hadn't gotten enough rest, so naturally she would protest.

Qin Xiao took the cup downstairs, filled a basin with hot water, put the towel in the basin, then closed the door and went upstairs.

When Jiang Tang pushed the door open and entered the bedroom, his head felt so hot that it was about to melt. Especially under the effect of the drugs, he felt completely listless.

Qin Xiao sat on the bed with a basin in his hand. He wrung out a towel and felt its temperature. When he felt it was about right, he gently put it on the girl's forehead and pinched her temples with his knuckles to relieve Jiang Tang's discomfort.

Jiang Tang slowly relaxed his frown while half asleep and half awake.

As Qin Xiao kept changing the towel on his forehead, he took the trouble to wipe the sweat off Jiang Tang's face and hands. After seeing the little girl slowly relax her brows and fall asleep peacefully, the man who was tense as a line stopped his actions.

His black eyes stared at the sleeping girl intently, and his hands caressed the girl's rosy cheeks lovingly.

Seeing the little girl sleeping peacefully, Qin Xiao took the basin and went downstairs.

Back in the bedroom, it was already late at night. Qin Xiao turned off the lights, lay down next to the girl, and rolled up into a ball with the quilt, holding her tightly in his arms.

Jiang Tang did not sleep well the whole night. In the second half of the night, she felt as if she was trapped by some strange beast. She wanted to run but had nowhere to run. She could only watch herself being completely devoured by the beast bit by bit.

Jiang Tang was so frightened that he opened his eyes suddenly and moved his fingers, only to find that it was not a dream, he was really tied up and unable to move.

Her mind regained clarity and she turned her head to see the monster that devoured her in her dream. The man did not sleep comfortably and even in his dream his brows were furrowed.

Jiang Tang only moved, and in almost a moment, the man opened his dark eyes, staring at the girl's rosy face with a clear look in his eyes. His throat rolled, and he raised his hand directly to the girl's forehead, feeling the warmth in his palm.

It wasn’t as scary as last night, Qin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Tang's hands trembled. She had no strength left. She could only look at the man holding her with wide eyes, "Qin Xiao, let go."

Qin Xiao obediently untied the hands that were tied to the little girl and got up from the bed.

Jiang Tang looked at the flattened quilt beside him, wrinkled his nose and looked at Qin Xiao, "Did you sleep like this last night?"

Qin Xiao only looked at the little girl's face, checking her health, and responded lightly.

Jiang Tang took a deep breath and said, "You didn't even cover yourself with a blanket. Do you want to pass on my cold to you?"

Qin Xiao bent down, and a large shadow covered Jiang Tang. Qin Xiao pinched the little girl's face with his knuckles, "It would be great if you could pass it on to me."

Jiang Tang couldn't do anything about him. He looked at the man with dark eyes, his hands softly placed on Qin Xiao's clothes, and he leaned over to kiss Qin Xiao's cheek, speaking with a nasal tone, "If I don't pass it on to you, you still have to make money."

Qin Xiao held the girl's chin with his hand and tried to kiss her. Jiang Tang immediately covered her mouth and stared at Qin Xiao accusingly, "No kissing, Qin Xiao, do you want to be infected by me and then be lazy and not go to work?"

Qin Xiao's kiss finally fell on the little girl's palm. Jiang Tang only felt her palm tingling and her heart itching.

Qin Xiao simply stuck to her for a while and then stepped back.

She said gently, "Eat breakfast first, and remember to take your medicine later."

Jiang Tang raised her hand and touched her forehead. It was only a little burned, and her body felt sticky and uncomfortable. She bit her lip lightly and raised her little face to look at the man.

Qin Xiao immediately realized the girl's intention, and the man's face darkened to scare the girl.

"Jiang Tang, you are not allowed to take a bath."

Jiang Tang wrinkled his nose when his intention was exposed and snorted softly, "Got it."

Qin Xiao is really annoying. He is not a worm in her stomach, so how can he know what she is thinking?

Qin Xiao raised his hand and tugged at the little girl's hair that had fallen on her forehead. "Take your medicine obediently. You can wash it when you recover."

"oh."

Jiang Tang could only endure the sticky feeling on his body and responded softly.

Well, seeing that the man was really worried to death, she obeyed.
