Chapter 179: Erbao is sick
Because more and more people are running small businesses, there are now places to buy things that were hard to find before.
A few people were having a great time strolling around.
Originally, I wanted to ask Qian Mingfang and Huang Xiuru to go shopping together today, but they both had to stay at home to take care of the children. After all, it was a holiday, and when the teachers are on holiday, parents have to be very busy.
Although the military family compound is so big, many military wives raise their children in the army by themselves, unlike Chen Jintao who has someone to help.
Of course, perhaps the military wives themselves do not want their mothers-in-law to help.
After all, not all mothers-in-law are as understanding and easy to get along with as Liu Guifen.
Take the old lady next door for example. If such a person were really recruited, the army would not only cause trouble to her family, but also to other people in the army.
So many people would rather raise their children themselves than ask their parents-in-law to help. Isn't this just asking for trouble?
But seeing Chen Jintao's comfortable life, everyone still felt a little envious. After all, it would be great if they could have such a worry-free mother-in-law to help them take care of their children. They didn't know in which direction they should kowtow in the next life to have such a mother-in-law.
After shopping, Chen Jintao returned to the family compound, where she received some bad news: Erbao was sick.
"Maybe they went out to play in the water today. This incident is mainly my fault. If I hadn't taken them to the beach, these things wouldn't have happened."
Liu Guifen was deeply remorseful.
The two children have rarely been sick since they were born. This time was no different. When Liu Guifen returned home, she gave the older child a bath, but she didn't expect the younger child to have a fever.
Chen Jintao ran directly to the room to check on Erbao's condition. She touched him and fortunately he wasn't very hot, but he looked weak.
"Mom, you stay at home and take care of Dabao. I'll take Erbao to the hospital."
Chen Jintao picked up the child and walked outside.
Liu Guifen quickly agreed, and the guilt in her heart almost overwhelmed her.
Meanwhile, Chen Jintao brought her daughter to the military hospital and attracted the attention of several people as soon as she entered. Chen Jintao has been with the army for quite some time and many people know her.
"Hey, sister-in-law, what's wrong?"
What a coincidence, I ran into Gao Wu and Xiao Hongying head-on, and they looked quite happy.
"Erbao has a fever, but it's not a big deal. I'll take her to the hospital." Chen Jintao smiled. In fact, she was not particularly worried. After all, it was normal for children to have a cold and fever. Usually, Chen Jintao often worried because her two children had good constitutions and were not prone to catching colds.
As the saying goes, when illness strikes, it's like a mountain falling. It means that people who usually look very healthy and never get sick may just be holding back a big one.
And it seems that the second baby doesn’t have any major problems at the moment, he just isn’t in a good mental state.
"Ah? Erbao is sick?" Xiao Hongying walked forward nervously and looked at Erbao with a red face in Chen Jintao's arms.
Under normal circumstances, when Erbao saw Xiao Hongying, he would have called her "Auntie" all the time and coaxed her into a trance. But at this moment, the usually naughty little guy was lying listlessly in his mother's arms, looking as pitiful as he could be.
"Let me accompany you. I'm afraid I can't handle it alone."
Seeing that Liu Guifen didn't follow, I knew that Dabao should be fine. She stayed at home to take care of Dabao, so Chen Jintao was a little tired staying in the hospital alone.
"Thank you for your help!"
Shen Jintao smiled.
Xiao Hongying rolled her eyes and said, "We are friends. If you say such polite words to me again, I will really get angry."
“Okay, okay!”
Gao Wu was also very perceptive. He said directly to Shen Jintao, "Sister-in-law, you take the child over first. I will go and register now."
Chen Jintao nodded and didn't bother to be polite with them, "I'll give you the money later."
The doctor carefully examined Erbao and said to Shen Jintao in a comforting tone, "The child is fine. It's just that the weather is hot and she sweats easily. When she sweats, her pores expand and she catches a cold easily. But her physique is still very good, so this won't happen normally. This situation is also related to her growth. It's not a big problem. I'll prescribe some medicine for you. You can first cool her down physically and wipe her hands and feet with a warm towel. If the fever still doesn't go down, we'll give her medicine."
The doctor who examined the second baby was a conservative. He did not recommend giving children medicine unless it was absolutely necessary, as all medicines are poisonous.
As long as she knew that Erbao's fever was just caused by a simple cold, Shen Jintao felt much more relaxed.
He lowered his head and pinched the little guy's nose in his arms, "Let's see if you will be so naughty in the future. Now you know you are uncomfortable, right?"
Erbao sniffed his little nose in grievance, turned his head and buried his little face in his mother's arms, not looking at her. It seemed as if he was competing with her.
Xiao Hongying looked at Erbao's little appearance and laughed immediately, "How cute."
When she said this, she subconsciously touched her belly. Shen Jintao keenly noticed Xiao Hongying's unusual action, and then thought of the couple appearing in the hospital as if nothing had happened, "Hongying, are you... pregnant?"
Xiao Hongying nodded somewhat embarrassedly, "Yes, it was the day Gao Wu came back..."
Speaking of this, the little girl's face was completely red. "I am thinking now, it would be great if I could also give birth to a cute girl like Erbao."
Xiao Hongying was telling the truth. She liked lively and cute children very much. Erbao was such a child and was very likable.
"Whether it's a boy or a girl, it's fine as long as they are taught well."
Shen Jintao said with a smile.
"I like both boys and girls, but I prefer soft and sweet girls." Xiao Hongying said with a smile.
"This girl is not a soft one, she is a little devil." Shen Jintao looked at the little girl in her arms.
Isn’t this just a little devil? Everyone at home pampers her, it's simply lawless.
The little devil raised his head and stretched out his little paws to cover his mother's mouth. Feeling the warmth of her palm, Shen Jintao couldn't avoid feeling heartache.
The little guy has been well taken care of since he was born, and this is the first time he has a fever.
After making sure she was fine, Chen Jintao took her home. Xiao Hongying and Gao Wu also returned to the family compound together. On the way, Chen Jintao couldn't help but ask, "Gao Wu, why hasn't my old Huo come back yet?"
