Chen Jianguo went to the doctor's office to clean the bathroom before coming to the ward.
He moved a stool and sat beside the bed. Looking at Xu Zhaodi sleeping soundly, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, she came to the hospital in time and suffered less.
Xu Zhaodi still felt a little uncomfortable in her sleep. She moaned and Chen Jianguo immediately sat down on her body, put his large palm on her stomach and rubbed it gently.
Xu Zhaodi let out a long sigh and went back to sleep.
Chen Jianguo waited until she had finished the bottle of water before he lay down beside the bed and took a nap.
In the second half of the night, Xu Zhaodi finally felt more at ease.
The next morning, when Xu Zhaodi opened her eyes, she saw Chen Jianguo holding her hand and sleeping on the edge of the hospital bed.
Her hand paused slightly, and Chen Jianguo opened his eyes sharply. He sat up and reached out to tentatively touch Xu Zhaodi's forehead. His temperature was normal.
Chen Jianguo asked anxiously: "Does your stomach still hurt?
Are you feeling better?"
Xu Zhaodi was moved, but also felt a little aggrieved.
She nodded and said, "It doesn't hurt anymore. I'm hungry."
Chen Jianguo thought about what the doctor said yesterday, and he finally felt relieved.
"It's good that you're hungry. I'll go to the hospital cafeteria to get you some food now.
The doctor said that if you feel hungry when you wake up in the morning, you don't need to have your gastric pumped.
What did you eat yesterday? The doctor said it was food poisoning."
"I was a little hungry when I came up the mountain yesterday, so I ate two snacks that Jiang Wan brought some time ago, and drank a bowl of malted milk."
When Chen Jianguo heard this, he didn't know what to say to her for a moment.
Those snacks have been stored for at least twenty days, and they haven’t even been eaten yet.
Chen Jianguo sighed and said, "I'll just throw it away for you. How long have you kept it? You still want to eat it.
Okay, lie down for a while, I'll go get you some food."
After Chen Jianguo left, she went to the hospital bathroom to wash her face and rinse her mouth.
My stomach felt uncomfortable last night and my mouth tastes bitter today.
Xu Zhaodi came into the ward and the old man on the bed next to her also got up.
When their eyes met, Xu Zhaodi realized that the person lying on the hospital bed was the old man she had saved yesterday.
The old lady said, "Hey, girl, why is it you?
Why did you come to the hospital too? "
Xu Zhaodi was also surprised: "Auntie, why are you in the hospital too?
Your legs are broken, right?"
"Hey, it's nothing serious, just a sprain. My son and old man were worried yesterday and took me to the hospital overnight. The doctor said there were no broken bones and I just needed to stay in the hospital for a few days for observation."
"That's good, that's good."
The old lady looked at Xu Zhaodi again and said, "The doctor told me last night that you had food poisoning. Are you feeling better now?"
"Much better."
"Oh girl, when I saw you yesterday, I knew you were a lucky person.
The young man who brought you here yesterday must be your husband, right? I saw he was so scared that his face turned pale. When he carried you in, he was more nervous than the doctor. You married a good man. "
Xu Zhaodi smiled and said, "Yes, Auntie, he is very kind to me and is a good person."
Chen Jianguo got his meal and stood at the door of the ward when he overheard the conversation between two people inside.
Hearing his wife praising him, he curled his lips and smiled.
Chen Jianguo came in with breakfast. He had millet porridge and two cabbage buns.
Chen Jianguo said: "The doctor said that you need to eat light food, and I will give you an IV drip later."
Xu Zhaodi glanced at the time on the wall. It was already seven o'clock, and he had a meeting at eight o'clock.
"You eat too, and then go to the meeting right away. I can handle this alone."
Chen Jianguo wanted to ask for leave, but the meetings in the past few days were very important and he could not take leave.
"I'll leave after you hang up the bottle."
Xu Zhaodi opened her lunch box and said to the lady next door, "Auntie, I have some vegetable buns here. Have one."
The old lady said, "Girl, don't worry about me, just eat your food.
I have to wait for blood tests this morning and can’t eat or drink.”
"Then I'll eat first, ma'am."
Xu Zhaodi was really hungry. Who knew that two pieces of snacks could bring her so much trouble?
The lady standing by looked at the loving scene of the couple and said, “Young comrade, I have to thank your wife for saving me yesterday.
I sprained my ankle yesterday while going up the mountain to dig bamboo shoots, and it was your wife who carried me there.
It was tiring to carry me home on such a big mountain. If I hadn’t met her yesterday, I would probably be dead today.”
Chen Jianguo didn't know what happened yesterday. He glanced at the old lady next to him, then glanced at Xu Zhaodi, and a meaningful look flashed in his eyes.
This stupid woman, why didn’t she know to call two people to go down the mountain? She actually carried the person down the mountain by herself.
How much strength does she have?
Just thinking about that scene makes me feel sad.
Xu Zhaodi almost choked. She had not intended to tell Chen Jianguo about this, but she didn't expect that the old lady had already told him.
Chen Jianguo smiled at the old lady and said, "Auntie, my wife is virtuous, kind and capable. It is fate that you met her."
Virtuous, kind and capable?
Xu Zhaodi secretly glanced at Chen Jianguo. He was now able to speak well and even knew how to compliment others.
Xu Zhaodi smiled secretly in her heart.
Chen Jianguo leaned close to Xu Zhaodi's ear and whispered, "You refuse to admit it even though I told you you were a tiger. No wonder I saw you looked so tired yesterday. It turns out you did such a big thing without telling me.
Come over after the meeting at noon, and I’ll massage your legs.”
Ahem…
Xu Zhaodi coughed twice and continued to eat with her head down.
There was too much millet porridge in the lunch box. Xu Zhaodi's stomach had shrunk due to her diet control during this period. She couldn't eat more than half of it. Chen Jianguo ate up the remaining food and washed the lunch box.
The doctor came in and saw that Xu Zhaodi looked much better. He smiled and said, "You look much better today. How are you? Are you not feeling nauseous or wanting to vomit?"
"No, doctor. I've already had breakfast."
"That's good, that's good. I'll continue the IV drip this morning, and I can be discharged from the hospital after one more day."
"Thank you, doctor."
Chen Jianguo was still a little worried and asked, "Doctor, do you need me to prescribe some other medicine?"
"After the IV drip is on, go to the pharmacy and get some hawthorn pills. Just take this."
"Thank you, doctor."
The doctor smiled and said, "I see your wife is ill, and you are more nervous than she is."
Chen Jianguo smiled politely and said nothing. After the doctor gave Xu Zhaodi an infusion, he went downstairs to get some hawthorn pills.
There were still fifteen minutes left before the meeting. Chen Jianguo said, "I'm going to the meeting first. If you can stop moving, please do so."
"Got it, go get busy now."
Chen Jianguo felt guilty because when she was sick and needed him to be by her side, he couldn't get away because of work.
It was hard to describe the feeling of self-blame. When he left the hospital, he felt as if there was a void in his heart.
Xu Zhaodi didn't think of anything, because she was too sleepy. A few minutes after Chen Jianguo left, she fell asleep again.
