Chapter 352: Things Going Wrong
After living a new life, Gao Mingcheng is no longer a straight man who knows nothing. He noticed the emotional changes on He Xiuman's face and guessed what she was thinking.
So he said, "How about this, let's go ask the doctor if we can go home and rest after the injection and come back for the injection tomorrow morning."
"Is it okay?" Gao Zhuang's face was full of joy.
Gao Mingcheng couldn't guarantee it, he had to ask a doctor first.
If no other treatment is needed at night, you should be able to go home.
Coincidentally, the saline solution was almost gone, so the group went back to the ward, asked the nurse to change the solution, and asked if they could go home and rest at night.
Then get a reply that you can go back to.
Hospital management is not that strict nowadays. Many hospitals in later generations will not let you go home after you have been admitted, for fear that something might happen to you and they would be held responsible.
He Xiuman was in a better mood when she heard that she could go home and didn't have to stay in the hospital all the time. The conditions in the ward were very ordinary, and she needed to breastfeed her child, so it was really inconvenient with so many people around.
In the village, some women who have given birth to many children don't care about the rules at all. They just breastfeed outside with their clothes open. While breastfeeding, they can also talk to the men and women in the village.
But this was He Xiuman's first child, and she was young and shy, so she couldn't let go.
Gao Mingcheng said, "I have an empty room. You can stay there for the next few days. Gao Zhuang, Xiao Yuanyuan has been vomiting and having diarrhea for a few days. Why didn't you tell me?"
Gao Zhuang said embarrassedly: "It wasn't that serious at the beginning, he just didn't like to drink milk. My grandma said that children often don't like to drink milk for a period of time, and it will be fine after a few days. But who knew that he started vomiting milk right after feeding, and then he had diarrhea."
"My grandmother found some herbs to feed the child, but he couldn't swallow them. He vomited while feeding. Later, she gave him Castanopsis bitter powder, and he managed to swallow it. That day, his diarrhea wasn't as severe. But today, it suddenly became severe again. I was worried that something might happen to the child, so I decided to send him to the county hospital."
Castanopsis bittern powder has the effect of stopping diarrhea and is very safe. If children in the village have diarrhea, the adults will feed them a bowl of Castanopsis bittern soup, which usually works to stop the diarrhea.
But Xiao Yuanyuan’s illness was viral gastroenteritis, so Castanopsis bitterus powder could not stop it.
While the two were talking, Xiao Yuanyuan fell asleep. He Xiuman breathed a sigh of relief after the child fell asleep, otherwise she would have felt heartbroken seeing the child crying in pain.
Although Xiao Yuanyuan only needed to be dripped with three bottles of saline solution, all three bottles were very large, and the child was small, so they couldn't be dripped too quickly, so it was quite time-consuming. Even if the child fell asleep, she still had diarrhea, so He Xiuman needed to change the child's diaper from time to time.
She stayed in the ward to take care of the child, while Gao Zhuang took the dirty diapers and ran to wash them. The couple cooperated very well.
Gao Mingcheng saw that they could handle it, so he took the diapers washed by Gao Zhuang back to the clothing store.
There is no place to dry washed clothes in the hospital, so some people just hang their washed clothes on tree branches, making the whole hospital a mess.
Back at the store, Gao Mingcheng first hung the wet diapers on the clothesline in the backyard.
It's summer now, and if it doesn't rain, the washed diapers will dry quickly.
Gao Shufang was already cooking in the kitchen. Gao Mingcheng stood at the door and took a look. He felt that there were not enough dishes, so he asked.
Gao Shufang said helplessly: "There is not much food at home. I just went out to buy some but couldn't find any. I could only buy a few eggs from the neighbors. But I bought some cakes. I can eat them to fill my stomach when I'm hungry."
Gao Mingcheng also knew that he and his companions had come unexpectedly, so he said, "It's okay, I'll go to the restaurant outside and buy two dishes. By the way, Gao Zhuang and the others will sleep in the empty room on the second floor tonight. The child is sick and may cry."
After giving the instructions, Gao Mingcheng went out to buy groceries.
The street where the clothing store is located is quite lively. There is a restaurant nearby. Gao Mingcheng bought a dish of fried pork with peppers and a bowl of chicken soup. The chicken soup was for He Xiuman. Breastfeeding women like them had to eat nutritious food, and soup was indispensable.
After buying the vegetables, Gao Mingcheng went to the empty room on the second floor to take a look. This room was originally occupied by Deng Wanwan. Although no one had lived there for a while, it was still clean, so Gao Mingcheng opened the doors and windows to ventilate it first.
As soon as he went downstairs, he heard Gao Shufang's excited voice saying, "Second brother, Wanwan wrote back to us! I've read it. I'll give you the letter later and you can take it back to show it to my second sister-in-law. I plan to continue writing to her. Wanwan said we can keep communicating!"
"That's great. How is she doing in the capital? Is everything okay?" Gao Mingcheng sat by the stove, lighting a fire and chatting with his younger sister.
"Well, she said she is living a good life. Wow, I didn't expect that she could make so much money by picking up scraps in the capital!" Gao Shufang said with envy.
At this time, Gao Mingli came back.
The two were chatting happily, but suddenly the topic came to an abrupt end. The brother and sister looked at each other tacitly, and then changed the topic.
"Second brother is back." Gao Mingli greeted him, looking a little embarrassed.
Ever since the two brothers had a conflict over Deng Wanwan, Gao Mingli has been avoiding Gao Mingcheng.
During the holidays, he went to find his third brother Gao Mingwan on purpose, wanting to talk to him about the grievances in his heart, because deep down, he still felt that there was nothing wrong with him, but he just had to bow his head when he was under someone's roof.
The Book of Songs says: A gentleman dreams of marrying a beautiful lady. Deng Wanwan is young and beautiful. If he likes her, what's wrong with pursuing her? He is not a hooligan!
He couldn't tell this to his second brother, so he could only go to his third brother.
But Third Brother’s sports car, he hadn’t run into him these days.
But it just happened that Gao Mingli was just thinking about his third brother Gao Mingwan, and Gao Mingwan really came!
"Mingwan, your head?" As soon as Gao Mingwan came in, Gao Mingcheng noticed that his head was wrapped in gauze.
In addition to the gauze on the head, there was also gauze on the arms, and blood was oozing out of the gauze.
Gao Mingcheng stood up instantly, and Gao Mingli and Gao Shufang also showed signs of worry.
Gao Mingwan, on the other hand, looked relaxed and said with a smile: "It's okay, I just had a fight with someone. Don't worry, I didn't lose!"
"Thanks to my injury, my boss gave me a few days off, so I came over here to take a look. Second brother, are you busy recently?"
Gao Mingcheng glanced at him, wondering if Xiao Jinfeng was going to ask him to drive the car.
Sure enough, Gao Mingwan grinned. It was indeed Xiao Jinfeng who asked him to ask Gao Mingcheng.
It turned out that this time they encountered trouble on the road. Although the trouble was resolved, two drivers were injured, and the transportation company was a little short of staff.
If it was okay, Gao Mingcheng could help run a few trips, but he couldn't leave now, so he told Gao Zhuang about his daughter Xiao Yuanyuan's illness.
Unexpectedly, Gao Mingwan said, "What a coincidence. I also have to go to the hospital to change the dressings every day. I can just help you keep an eye on them. When they recover, I will drive them back to the village."
Gao Mingcheng still did not agree immediately, but wanted to think about it again.
"Since you're here, let's have dinner together here." He invited Gao Mingwan to have dinner here, and Gao Mingwan agreed without hesitation.
But after finishing his meal, Gao Mingcheng still had to go to the hospital to deliver meals to Gao Zhuang and others.
When he delivered the meal, he had just replaced the third bottle of medicine.
"You must be hungry, let's eat first." Gao Mingcheng took out the rice from the basket. There were three bowls in total, two of which were rice and one was chicken soup. On top of the rice were some side dishes.
Gao Zhuang and He Xiuman were indeed hungry. After expressing their gratitude, they squatted beside the bed and began to eat in big mouthfuls. It was obvious that the chicken soup was prepared for He Xiuman, but Gao Zhuang did not touch it at all. It was He Xiuman who specially gave him some, and had to find an excuse that she could not drink it before Gao Zhuang was willing to drink the last few mouthfuls of chicken soup.
Gao Mingcheng was in a good mood seeing that they were still in love as always. It seemed that Gao Zhuang would be able to have a perfect life in this life.
People really can't just run away.
