The next day, at the Li family.
After washing and packing, Li Xiaoyu went downstairs with her schoolbag on her back.
"Grandpa, grandma, uncle, good morning."
Li Xiaoyu hung her schoolbag behind the dining chair and said good morning to the elders at the table.
Mr. Li and the others smiled and nodded.
"Hey, Auntie hasn't gotten up yet?" Li Zhenzhen also came downstairs and asked when she didn't see Li Yunshu.
Old Mrs. Yu looked towards the stairs and said, "Maybe she's too tired and is still sleeping. It's cold out here, so it's good to sleep. Shushu also wakes up early. Let her sleep a little longer."
Li Zhenzhen nodded and sat next to Li Xiaoyu.
Grandpa Li picked up his chopsticks, and the family began to eat breakfast quietly.
"I'm done eating." Li Xiaoyu put down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief.
"Grandpa, grandma, uncle, I'm going to school." Li Xiaoyu stood up and said.
Li Boyan: "Go ahead, and be careful when riding your bike."
"Xiaoyu, wait for me, I'll go with you." Li Zhenzhen picked up the milk and drank it in one gulp, then grabbed the leather bag hanging on the back of the chair.
"Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, I'm done eating. I'm going to work first."
"Oh, right." Li Xiaoyu looked at her grandmother, Mrs. Yu, and said, "Grandma, when my mother gets up, please remind her that the parent-teacher meeting starts at 10 a.m."
Mrs. Yu nodded and said, "I'll remind her."
Li Xiaoyu and Li Zhenzhen went to work or school. After finishing her breakfast, Mrs. Yu went upstairs to check on Li Yunshu half an hour later when she saw that he hadn't gotten up yet.
“Knock, knock, knock…”
Li Yunshu was awakened by a knock on the door. She opened her heavy eyelids and called out, "Who is it?"
But she was startled by her own hoarse voice. She swallowed her saliva, and her throat hurt badly, just like swallowing a knife.
"Shushu, are you up?" The voice of her mother, Old Mrs. Yu, came from outside the door.
Li Yunshu wanted to speak, but her voice was too hoarse and the old lady couldn't hear her, so she dragged her weak body off the bed.
When he reached the door, he rested on the door frame for a few seconds before he raised his limp hand and opened the door.
"Shushu..., no Shushu, why is your face so red?" As soon as Mrs. Yu saw her daughter's face, her expression changed and she quickly reached out to touch her forehead.
"It's so hot, Shushu, you have a fever!"
Li Yunshu said in a hoarse voice: "I just caught a cold. Take some fever-reducing medicine, sleep and sweat, and you'll be fine. Cough cough..."
She slipped and splashed herself with cold water yesterday. Although she changed her clothes quickly, she still caught a cold.
"Old man, Boyan, come up quickly, Shushu has a fever." Old Mrs. Yu shouted anxiously downstairs, and hurriedly helped her daughter, who was only wearing thin pajamas, into the house.
"Go in quickly and go back to bed."
When Mr. Li heard that his daughter was sick with a fever, he ran upstairs at a brisk pace.
Li Boyan first called the infirmary and asked them to arrange for a doctor to come over immediately, then ran upstairs two steps at a time.
"Cough cough cough..." Li Yunshu covered his mouth and coughed. Looking at the family members surrounding the bed, he said, "Don't worry, I just caught a common cold. It's nothing serious. I'll be fine after taking some medicine. Cough cough cough..."
Old Madam Yu said with red eyes: "It's nothing serious yet, it's already burned to the point of burning my hands."
Mr. Li also said: "When I heard you sneeze yesterday, I should have asked a doctor to take a look."
Li Boyan said, "You must have caught a cold from riding your bike in such a hurry to get back yesterday. I really should have kicked Lin Guodong a few more times."
If it weren't for that ungrateful Lam Kwok Tung coming to her door, would Shu Shu have rushed back on her bike?
Li Yunshu: "..."
It wasn’t entirely because of the cold wind from riding a bicycle, but mainly because of the bucket of water.
"Shushu, what do you want to eat? I'll ask Xiao Wang to make it for you." Old Mrs. Yu asked her daughter.
Li Yunshu thought for a moment and said, "I want to eat dumpling soup."
She has no taste in her mouth now and wants to eat something tasty.
"Boyan, go ask Xiao Wang to make some dumpling soup." Grandpa Li looked at Li Boyan and said.
Li Boyan walked out of the room and went to the stairs. Without even going up the stairs, he shouted, "Sister Wang, make some dumpling soup."
"Okay." Sister Wang replied in a hoarse voice.
After hearing the response, Li Boyan immediately returned to the room.
"Shushu, are you cold? Second brother will go fill a hot water bottle for you."
Li Yunshu coughed and shook his head, "No, I'm not cold."
He just had a minor cold, but so many family members gathered around his bed, showing concern and asking about his health. This was the first time in Li Yunshu's memory.
This made her feel warm and touched, and she even had an urge to cry.
In the past few decades, whether she was sick or injured, she handled it all by herself, and few people cared about her.
After marrying Lin Yongnian, even if she had a cold or a fever, she would get up and cook for him and the children.
Once, not long after giving birth to Xiaoyu, and before she was out of the confinement period, she got mastitis and had a fever so high that she couldn't even get out of bed, and her breasts were in severe pain.
When Lin Yongnian came home from work and saw that she hadn't cooked yet, he ran into the bedroom and scolded her.
She said she felt really uncomfortable and couldn't get out of bed, so she asked Lin Yongnian to take her to the hospital. Lin Yongnian scolded her for being lazy and pretending to be lazy, and told her to get out of bed quickly and cook.
She felt extremely uncomfortable and wronged at the time, and was also very angry that Lin Yongnian didn't believe her.
She was in such pain and looked so ugly, but Lin Yongnian still said that she was just pretending to be lazy.
Out of spite, she forced herself to get out of bed and cook until she fainted in the kitchen. Lin Yongnian and her neighbors sent her to the hospital, where she stayed for a week before recovering.
Later, Xiaoyu pointed out that when she felt unwell, only Xiaoyu would show concern.
He would also take care of all the housework when she was sick.
"Oh, right." Old Mrs. Yu remembered something, "Xiaoyu has a parent-teacher meeting at 10 o'clock this morning. You're sick, so you can't go."
Mr. Li said, "You definitely can't go."
Li Boyan suggested, "How about I go?"
Old Mrs. Yu glanced at her second son, nodded, and said, "I think it's okay. Let Boyan go."
Li Yunshu didn't want to miss Xiaoyu's parent-teacher meeting, but he was sick and really couldn't go.
"Then I'll trouble you to go there, second brother."
Li Boyan: "Why do we as a family say these things?"
"Ding-ling, ding-ling..."
When the bell for morning reading rang, the students ran out of the classroom and ran to the bulletin board on the first floor to check their midterm exam scores and rankings.
Li Xiaoyu and Zheng Qingqing walked out of the classroom hand in hand and went to the first floor to check their grades.
"Li Xiaoyu, do you want to go to the first floor to check your grades? Let's go together."
Yu Jingming caught up, followed by two male classmates with whom he had a good relationship.
"Jingming, do you want to go to the first floor to check your grades? Let's go together." Zhao Siyu also caught up.
Yu Jingming's classmate Nie Xin looked at Zhao Siyu and teased, "Zhao Siyu, what's so good about your grades? You're definitely in the bottom ten."
Hearing this, Zheng Qingqing couldn't help but burst out laughing.
