Chapter 741: Distant Relatives Are Not as Good as Close Neighbors
The child should feel more comfortable now that he has eaten, been bathed and changed into clean clothes.
He was held in his mother's arms and patted gently. His dark eyes looked around and he babbled for a while before he fell into a deep sleep.
After touching the child's forehead and feeling that his temperature was normal, Lu Miao felt relieved for a short while. He put the little guy on the kang and asked the child's father to watch over him.
Only now did she take some time to take care of her personal hygiene.
I've been worried all day and I'm really tired.
After quickly tidying up, Lu Miao went to bed early.
The lights in the courtyard dimmed, and the night seemed to deepen.
The alleys in front and behind were quiet, and a few katydids were leisurely jumping in the vegetable garden under the moonlight.
But suddenly, a "kufufu wow wow wow" cry was heard, and a few small reptiles were frightened and burrowed back into the cracks in the soil.
The small courtyard, which had not been quiet for long, was suddenly brightly lit.
"What's going on? Is there something wrong again?"
"It's okay, just leave it alone and go back to the house to rest. Miaomiao and I can handle it."
The child's skin turned red and he had a fever.
Lu Miao held the child and wiped her tears. Fu Jingyou gave him some instructions, picked up his car keys and bag, and went to the hospital.
There are usually not many people in the hospital at night, let alone in the middle of the night.
Suddenly, someone came to the emergency room with a child in his arms. Half of the waiting building was alarmed and everyone was looking over to see what was going on.
The child is too young to be given injections or medication, and he has already received two bottles of diluted medication in the afternoon.
At this moment, the hospital doesn’t dare to give injections anymore.
They only opened a bed in the ward, brought two water bags and asked the parents to change the water, and taught them how to cool down physically.
Tang Mei was looking after the house, and Lu Yuanzheng tidied up and came over on his bike.
The child was in pain and kept crying "Mommy, Mommy", as if he was calling for help.
Lu Miao couldn't stop crying after hearing this.
This took most of the night. When we were packing up and heading back, a layer of pale sky was just beginning to float to the east of our home.
The young couple took the child back to the house to rest.
Tang Mei was always worried, but didn't dare to ask too much.
She got up and quietly made breakfast. After taking care of the other three children, she quietly asked Lu Yuanzheng to drive the children to Beijing Affiliated Primary School.
Lu Miao hadn't slept all night, and when the child's fever subsided in the morning, she really couldn't hold on any longer.
Holding the child's little hand, the mother and child snuggled together and fell asleep quietly.
Fu Jingyou brought the electric fan over, plugged it in, and turned it towards the wall in the opposite direction.
When both the adult and the child are weak and tired, it is easy to cause problems if they are blown against each other.
He reached out and felt a slight breeze, and Fu Jingyou thought it was okay.
Given the situation at home, Fu Jingyou had no mind to attend classes.
After standing by for a while, Fu Jingyou quickly washed, shaved, and tidied himself up.
I rode my bike to Renmin University, asked for leave from the group that was assigning me to work in a large factory, then turned around and headed to Peking University, and asked for leave for Lu Miao as well.
Afterwards, he went home, busied himself with things for a while, cleaned himself up, and went to bed next to his wife and children.
…
The child was sick for several days, going through a period of intermittent high fever, followed by loose stools and diarrhea.
The whole family was worried and no one was at peace.
Among them, Lu Miao is the best.
She had been taking care of the children for several days without much rest. She was exhausted, drowsy and a little sick.
Fu Jingyou was worried about her and had been looking after her and the child at home these days.
At first, with him by his side, Lu Miao had some spiritual support.
After the child got better, Lu Miao didn't let him stay at home.
He is currently doing internships and practical work in various factories, and his grades are linked to his future job assignments.
There is no way to ask for two days off if there is an emergency. Now that the work is over, it is not good to delay any longer.
Fu Jingyou had his own thoughts, so he stayed at home with her and the children for another day, and only resumed his normal routine early the next morning.
Lu Miao went to school and asked for a few more days of leave.
Besides feeling drowsy and a little uncomfortable, she also wanted to concentrate on taking care of the child for a few more days.
Another thing is that my previous diet and supplementary medication had caused my milk supply to be intermittent and almost stopped.
Now I need to stop breastfeeding, and my diet and rest also need to be adjusted.
After taking a leave, she went home and had a bowl of red dates and snow frog. Lu Miao endured the greasy taste, frowned, and sat at the table slowly drinking the chicken soup that Tang Mei served her.
Little Baichuan was lying in the swing cradle, babbling "Mommy, Mommy", and he looked energetic for once.
"The chicken stew we made today is quite filling. Let's bring a bowl to Ling Yuan and his wife later."
Tang Mei gently pushed the cradle and took care of the child, and casually mentioned something:
"A distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. That child is also a sincere person. A few days ago, he went to the school to help find your father and fell on the way home from his bike. His leg was broken. We can't just ignore it."
Lu Miao retched twice because of the oily chicken soup.
After finally calming down, he quickly drank some water to suppress the urge to vomit, and nodded.
"Okay, I'll go after I finish eating."
Tang Mei hummed, and took the time to pick up a bowl that was second only to the large bowl.
He picked up a chicken leg from the soup pot and also picked out a lot of large pieces of solid chicken meat.
She prepared the food first and set it aside to cool, so that the child wouldn't get burned when handling the bowl.
Let’s talk about Ling Yuan’s injury.
It was hot and Lingyuan was wearing thin clothes. He fell to the ground and scraped the outer side of his left leg and the kneecap were rubbed by stones and gravel, causing a piece of skin to be broken.
The wound was quite large and looked scary, but it was actually just superficial damage and not very serious.
When Tang Mei mentioned Ling Yuan, Ling Yuan was resting at home.
Liu Wenpei was worried about him, so she rushed to prepare lunch in the school cafeteria in the morning and did not participate in serving lunch to the students.
After filling two lunch boxes, Liu Wenpei took a leave of absence early and came back to apply medicine to Ling Yuan.
The injury wasn't a serious one, and the young man had a good physique, so he recovered quickly. Black scabs had formed on the wound within a few days.
In some small areas on the edges, the black scabs have begun to fall off, revealing the newly grown pink tender flesh inside.
Ling Yuan originally said that she had no problem applying the medicine, but Liu Wenpei was worried and insisted on waiting for her to come back.
Ling Yuan thought it was a good feeling to be cared for by his wife, so he waited for her obediently at home.
The hot lunch box was placed on the simple bedside table.
Ling Yuan sat on the bed, Liu Wenpei sat in front of him with a small stool, holding iodine and cotton balls in her hands and carefully applying them to him.
"Does it hurt?"
"Hey, didn't I tell you? It doesn't hurt anymore!"
Ling Yuan smiled frivolously.
Liu Wenpei glared at him, lowered his head and continued to disinfect and apply medicine to him, muttering in a muffled voice:
"I told you not to go, but you refused to listen. Otherwise, wouldn't this have happened?"
"They say a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. Besides, what is our relationship with Xiaobao? In a situation like that, how can we just stand by and watch?"
