Chapter 187 Lu Miao is Sick
Maybe I got a little cold after going out today.
My back couldn't stop feeling cold, and my stomach felt a little uncomfortable too.
Lu Miao refilled the kettle with water and turned up the stove damper.
She piled the dirty clothes aside, lifted the quilt and lay down on the bed, thinking that she would wait a while before getting up to clean up.
I fell into a deep sleep without paying attention, and when I woke up, I was awakened by a rustling noise.
Chen Guifen came over anyway.
Chen Guifen secretly sighed that the room was warm, and seeing Lu Miao asleep, she didn't want to wake her up.
I was thinking of collecting the dirty clothes in the house and washing them in the backyard, but unexpectedly, I still woke people up.
Lu Miao called out "Auntie" unhappily.
Chen Guifen said kindly, "Did I disturb your sleep? Go back to sleep, and the other aunts will clean up."
Lu Miao shook his head and pushed the enamel pot on the bedside table. "Aunt, there is brown sugar in the cabinet. Can you make me a cup of brown sugar water? I feel a little uncomfortable, so I won't go down."
"Why!"
Chen Guifen is probably a good mother-in-law. She takes care of Lu Miao as if she were her own daughter-in-law, busying herself with cleaning up.
After making the brown sugar water and placing it next to Lu Miao, Chen Guifen guessed that Lu Miao was also cold, so she reminded him before going out to do something:
"Auntie is in the backyard. If you need anything, just call her and she will get it for you."
Lu Miao nodded, and took two sips of the brown sugar water despite the heat. She put down the enamel pot, lowered herself, and slipped back into the bed.
Chen Guifen pulled the window curtain for her before turning around to go about her business.
Lu Miao fell asleep again in a daze.
This time I didn’t sleep as comfortably as before.
Sometimes it's cold, sometimes it's hot. When I put my hand outside the quilt when it's hot, I feel cold again.
I pulled my hand back when it felt cold, and it became warm again in less than two minutes.
After trying several times but still failing to fall asleep, Lu Miao simply sat up with his clothes on, and felt a faint wetness under his butt.
She touched it suspiciously and could vaguely see blood on her fingertips.
She felt it was dirty, so she got up, took out some toilet paper from the cabinet at the end of the bed, wiped her hands, and quickly put on her sanitary belt.
This time her period was late, and similar situations had happened before. Lu Miao thought that there was another menstrual disorder and it would not come this month, but she didn't expect it to come after all.
Lu Miao was always worried about the menstrual belt, and she didn't dare to move after putting it on. She just sat on the bed, drinking brown sugar water and reading old newspapers.
She usually doesn't have any big reaction during her period, but this time it wasn't the case. She felt a slight pain in her stomach.
It wasn't painful at all, but it was a nauseous feeling that came in waves and couldn't be ignored.
Lu Miao felt a little uncomfortable and couldn't concentrate on reading the newspaper.
When Chen Guifen came back from hanging up the clothes, she saw her sitting at the head of the bed, holding her stomach, and her face didn't look very good.
Chen Guifen was a little worried. "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Lu Miao shook his head. "It's okay, Auntie. It's just my period. My stomach hurts a little from the cold. I'll be fine after a while."
Women always have those days every month, and Chen Guifen knew it, so she felt relieved.
"Okay, I'll pour you a glass of water. Where are the eggs at home? I'll go make you two brown sugar eggs."
Lu Miao told Chen Guifen the place.
Chen Guifen took brown sugar and eggs to the kitchen. As soon as the fire in the stove started, she heard Lu Miao calling out:
"Aunt, aunt?"
Chen Guifen hurried to the front room, "What's wrong? What's wrong? Auntie is here!"
Lu Miao's face turned pale, and he huddled at the head of the bed, holding his stomach.
As soon as Chen Guifen approached, she reached out and grabbed Chen Guifen's sleeve.
The force was so great that the knuckles and nails turned a little white.
"Aunt, please go call Fu Jingyou back. I can't do it. It hurts."
It feels like coming in waves.
It wasn't like this just now, but it's become obvious now.
My lower abdomen was cramping and there was a pain like falling.
Lu Miao was inexplicably a little scared.
Chen Guifen knew about what women do during their period, but this was the first time she had seen someone with such a big reaction like Lu Miao.
Chen Guifen didn't think it was a big deal, but she couldn't stand Lu Miao's pampering.
Chen Guifen went to call for help.
It was already late, around five or six o'clock, the sky had already darkened slightly, and fine snowflakes were falling from the sky again.
On the road, Chen Guifen met He Hongjin and Fu Jingyou who were returning with a list of fried cakes.
Seeing her anxious look, Fu Jingyou felt something was wrong and quickly responded:
"Aunt, what happened at home?"
Chen Guifen quickly said, "On the way back this afternoon, Miao and I fell on that slope. She must have caught a cold. She lay down at home and hasn't gotten up since. She keeps complaining about stomachaches. She won't feel at ease until you go back!"
When Fu Jingyou heard that Lu Miao had fallen, he was very anxious because he didn't know how serious it was.
He was carrying a basket of fried dough sticks and walking at a brisk pace. Chen Guifen was chasing him and shouting:
"Jingyou, put the list down and let me pick it out. You should hurry back and take a look!"
Fu Jingyou did not refuse and handed the shoulder pole to Chen Guifen, and ran all the way very fast.
When I inhaled the cold air into my lungs, my entire chest felt like it was about to explode.
He didn't dare to stop. He walked into the house and squatted beside the bed before he slowed down and took a breath.
“Miao, Miaomiao…”
Lu Miao shrank back into the quilt, curled up into a ball, with only his head and little face exposed.
His face was neither yellow nor white, and his handsome eyebrows were tightly furrowed.
You could tell she was not feeling well without asking.
Lu Miao slowly opened his eyes.
Fu Jingyou rubbed her face with his rough index finger, "Where do you feel uncomfortable, huh?"
Lu Miao cried when she saw him, "My stomach hurts."
The kind of crying that can't be controlled.
Tears welled up in her eyes, and her lips pursed uncontrollably. "It feels like something is falling down..."
"Go to the hospital!"
Fu Jingyou hated to see Lu Miao being wronged, let alone seeing her cry.
He rummaged through the boxes and cupboards to find the thick clothes that Lu Miao usually changed into, put them on her, and then put on clean shoes for her.
He took the scarf that Lu Miao had made by patching together some extra cashmere fabric and wrapped it around her. Then, Fu Jingyou took his marriage certificate and household registration page, locked the door, and carried her to the team.
When I left the production team, I happened to meet He Hongjin and Chen Guifen who had just returned.
He Hongjin asked: "Where are you carrying her now?"
Fu Jingyou said decisively: "Her pain is abnormal, I will take her to the hospital!"
The town clinic closes at night, so the only hospital we can go to is the county one.
He Hongjin glanced at Lu Miao on Fu Jingyou's shoulder.
The girl who is usually very domineering now looks listless like a chicken and doesn't look well.
The team is dozens of miles away from the town. How can we make it there just by relying on our backs?
The road was wet everywhere, and even if we took a break, it would be difficult to leave people behind halfway.
He Hongjin made a decisive decision and said, "Go back and get the ox cart. I'll go with you."
Fu Jingyou frowned and nodded, then carried Lu Miao on his back and followed them back home.
