Chen Tiezhu was frightened by Sheng Chengan's sudden anger and quickly turned to look at Zhou Luancheng: "I'm telling the truth. If children here encounter ghosts, they will ask Grandma Bu to exorcise them."
Zhou Luancheng glanced at Sheng Chengan, and Sheng Chengan swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
He just couldn't understand how an old woman could deceive the entire town.
Chen Tiezhu didn't dare to say anything else, mainly because Sheng Chengan's face looked really bad, so he quickly lowered his head and slurped the rice noodles.
Sheng Cheng'an stopped teasing Pei Nuo and added more chili sauce to her plate until Pei Nuo went to eat with a happy expression.
The sight of a bowl of bright red rice noodles gave him a stomachache, but the little girl shoveled the noodles into her mouth as if nothing had happened.
After the meal, Zhou Luancheng gave Chen Tiezhu ten kilograms of national food coupons.
Chen Tiezhu was a little embarrassed to ask for it: "How can I do this? I don't have anything delicious to treat you, how can I ask for your food coupons."
Seeing Zhou Luancheng gave him the food coupons, Sheng Chengan also took out ten yuan and handed it over: "Just take it, we still need to stay for two days. If you feel embarrassed, just buy us some meat."
Chen Tiezhu hesitated for a moment. Ten yuan is still a lot of money. It is enough for the family's living expenses for half a month. "It doesn't cost so much to eat meat. Meat is very cheap here. Pork is 40 cents a pound, and one yuan can buy a chicken."
"It's still a big cock."
Sheng Chengan didn't care about the price: "Just take it and get us a chicken this afternoon."
He knew that the little girl liked to eat meat.
This time Chen Tiezhu did not refuse and took the money and food coupons: "Then I will buy them for you. When you leave, if there is any left, I will return the money to you."
Sheng Chengan didn't care: "Just do as you see fit."
Chen Tiezhu's impression of Zhou Luancheng and Sheng Chengan improved a little. They were not arrogant at all. You know, on their side, many people from higher-ups don't pay for food and drink, and they want to eat and use the best things.
Their office, which does not make much money, has already been squeezed out of all its profits.
After lunch, Zhou Luancheng went out again. Sheng Chengan stayed in the house with Pei Nuo. He didn't force her to speak, but told her fairy tales.
Fortunately, when Sheng Anning was a child, her parents were busy, so he would take Sheng Anning home, watch her eat, coax her to sleep, and read various picture books and Chinese and English fairy tales to her.
I remember a lot of bits and pieces now.
When I told Pei Nuo about the mermaid princess and how the princess turned into foam and disappeared on the sea, Pei Nuo's eyes widened. Crystal clear light slowly filled his black and white eyes, and scarlet crimson gradually crept into the corners of his eyes.
Sheng Chengan was stunned for a moment: "I'm not sad, fairy tales are all lies, in the end the mermaid princess and the prince live happily together."
Pei Nuo blinked her eyes, a big tear fell, she reached out and hugged Sheng Chengan's neck tightly with her thin and soft arms, and cried silently.
Sheng Chengan's body stiffened for a moment, and the little thing in his arms shed tears on his chest.
Finally, he shook his head, put his arm around her shoulders, and patted her back gently: "They are all fairy tales, they are fake, it won't happen. The mermaid princess will live happily in the sea."
I still remember when I told this story to four-year-old Sheng Anning, the little girl didn't believe it: "It's a lie, a princess wouldn't do that."
Why did Pei Nuo cry like this? If I had known earlier, I should have told her a story with a happy ending.
Pei Nuo cried silently for a while. Maybe she was tired from crying or she didn't sleep well last night, so she leaned on Sheng Chengan's arms and fell asleep.
Sheng Chengan didn't dare to move, for fear that any movement would wake up the little girl, so he let her sleep leaning against him.
I don’t know how long it took, but Sheng Chengan felt the person in his arms getting hotter and hotter, as if he was holding a ball of fire.
He quickly reached out and touched Pei Nuo's forehead, and sure enough, it was incredibly hot.
Sheng Cheng'an touched Pei Nuo's neck again, and it was also scorching hot.
"Xiao Nuo, Xiao Nuo?"
He shook Pei Nuo's shoulders, but there was no response, and the breath he exhaled was hot.
Sheng Cheng'an was a little anxious. He asked Pei Nuo to lie down, touched her forehead, went to Chen Tiezhu to ask for antipyretic medicine, and then asked for some warm water to wipe Pei Nuo's body.
When I went out, I found that Chen Tiezhu had gone out for some reason and there was no one there.
Sheng Cheng'an couldn't leave Pei Nuo here alone, so he went to the kitchen to get some hot water and wiped Pei Nuo's face, neck, palms and soles of his feet with a towel.
But it was of no use, the temperature was still frighteningly high.
The pink lips turned pale and dry in an instant, just like the petals of a rapidly withering flower.
Sheng Chengan was very anxious. If the fire continued like this, the girl, who was not smart to begin with, would become even dumber. After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and untied Pei Nuo's clothes.
Keep a small piece of clothing.
He kept his eyes closed while wiping Pei Nuo's body, but his body temperature was still frighteningly high.
Sheng Chengan tried to feed Pei Nuo some warm water. The little girl was quite cooperative and knew to open her mouth to drink the water.
Sheng Cheng'an was sweating all over, but Pei Nuo's temperature didn't go down.
Sheng Cheng'an frowned and looked at Pei Nuo, who was still breathing hot air. He had to take medicine quickly!
He walked to the door and then turned back. He was still worried and left.
He could only wipe Pei Nuo's body over and over again.
Until there was movement in the yard, Chen Tiezhu came back on his motorcycle.
Sheng Cheng'an covered Pei Nuo with a blanket, and when he went out, he saw Chen Tiezhu getting off the motorcycle carrying a big rooster and a piece of pork belly.
Seeing Sheng Chengan, Chen Tiezhu was very happy: "I just went to the village below to do some work, and happened to meet a butcher. This piece of pork belly is good. I will make braised pork for you tonight."
Sheng Chengan didn't care what to eat at night at the moment: "Do you have Analgin or aspirin?"
"What's wrong?"
Sheng Chengan did not hide it: "Pei Nuo has a fever, give her some food."
Chen Tiezhu exclaimed: "Pei Nuo has a fever? But she can't take these medicines when she has a fever."
Sheng Chengan was surprised: "How do you know? Why can't I eat it?"
Chen Tiezhu laughed, "I told you we were neighbors before. I remember one time when Pei Nuo had a fever, Grandma Li went to my house to get some antipyretic medicine for her. After she took it, she started convulsing and almost died. She was only saved when she was carried to Grandma Bu."
Sheng Chengan frowned: "Then what other antipyretic medicine can I take?"
Chen Tiezhu shook his head: "I don't know. Anyway, every time Pei Nuo had a fever, he would be taken to Grandma Bu for treatment. Grandma Bu would give him some herbal medicine and he would be fine."
After that, he said enthusiastically: "Why don't you take a look at Grandma Bu's place? I'll take you there."
