Chapter 99 Fever

Liu Laifu was a very proud person, and there was no way he would not go on such an important mission as collecting food.

If he doesn't get involved, other people in the village will definitely poke him in the back!

Liu Yinyin asked her, "Have you taken the medicine?"

"I took it." Jiang Cuihua smiled and said, "Well, I have to say, your medicine is really effective. I was a little confused this morning, but after taking the medicine, I feel much better now."

She originally thought she was going to get sick, so she didn't go with the others to gather food today. Unexpectedly, she got better immediately after taking the medicine.

Liu Yinyin instructed, "I bought some fever-reducing and cold medicine when I went to the market last time. If anyone at home needs it, come get it."

Jiang Cuihua smiled and said, "Okay, I understand."

Yesterday's hail not only destroyed the crops in the fields, but also destroyed most of the vegetables planted in the yard.

The cabbage leaves were smashed to pieces, and most of the eggplants, tomatoes, etc. were smashed to the ground, making the vegetable patch a mess.

Fortunately, Liu Yinyin had already harvested the watermelons, cantaloupes and pumpkins from the vegetable garden yesterday afternoon, otherwise the losses would have been even greater.

There are also two fruit trees planted by Gu Cheng before, a red date tree and a peach tree. They were planted this year and have not borne any fruit, but now the leaves on the two trees have all fallen off due to the hail.

The tree is bare, but fortunately the trunk is still there, so it should be able to survive.

Liu Yinyin thought about it, put on her raincoat, and pulled out the vegetables that were damaged by hail in the vegetable garden. These vegetables could still be eaten after washing.

The leftovers can be fed to pigs and chickens.

Around noon, Gu Cheng came back with a lot of fish.

Jiang Cuihua was still at Liu Yinyin's house. She was slightly surprised when she saw this and asked him, "Where did you get the fish?"

There were about ten fish strung together with grass ropes and hung on the cart.

Gu Cheng explained: "I picked it up on the road."

There was a heavy rainstorm and the water level in the river rose again. The fish in the water jumped out due to lack of oxygen.

However, there were definitely not as many fish in the river this year as there were last year, so Gu Cheng only picked out the big ones and brought them back.

Jiang Cuihua said calmly, "This is what happens on rainy days."

The villagers also caught fish last year, but not this year.

She didn't see it on the way here.

Jiang Cuihua asked him again: "How is the situation with my in-laws?"

Gu Cheng: "The situation is similar to here. No one at home is in any serious trouble."

Like Liujia Village, the crops in Shili Village were also destroyed by hail. However, the people there did not go out to harvest food in the rain last night.

They just started this morning.

Jiang Cuihua nodded: "I'm glad you're okay."

When Gu Cheng came back, Jiang Cuihua went back and brought back two fish.

At noon, Liu Yinyin made fish porridge for Gu Yanyan.

But the boy had a poor appetite and stopped after eating half a bowl. Liu Yinyin fed him the porridge, but he deliberately spat it out the next second.

Liu Yinyin wiped the rice grains from the corner of his mouth and asked worriedly, "Is Yanyan feeling unwell?"

The little guy used to be very active when eating, and a bowl of porridge was not enough for him.

This has never happened before.

A child this young won't tell you if he's feeling uncomfortable.

But eating so little, there must be something wrong.

Gu Cheng touched his forehead and asked anxiously, "Do you have a fever?"

Liu Yinyin was so scared that she reached out and touched it. Sure enough, she felt a little hot, but just a low fever.

This was the first time that Gu Yanyan had fallen ill since he was a child, and the couple were extremely worried.

Gu Cheng said directly: "Let's go to the hospital."

Liu Yinyin was also anxious, but there was no rush. She thought, "How about rubbing his body with alcohol first? See if it can lower his temperature."

It's stormy outside, and it's a hassle to go to the county town now, mainly because I'm worried that Gu Yanyan will catch a cold on the road.

First wipe it with alcohol to see if it can reduce the temperature. Then check the situation in the afternoon. If it doesn’t work, go to the hospital again.

Because Gu Yanyan suddenly had a fever, Gu Cheng did not go to the village to help collect food in the afternoon.

The couple stayed at home to take care of the children all afternoon.

With the couple's careful care, although Gu Yanyan still looked listless, the fever finally subsided.

My appetite is good at night.

The couple gradually felt relieved, but they did not dare to be careless. They got up every once in a while to check on the situation when they went to bed at night.

Fortunately, Gu Yanyan didn't have a fever all night, so it seems that he should be fine.

It was raining heavily outside, and it rained all night long.

The next morning, the rain hadn't stopped yet!

The water in the yard was getting deeper and deeper.

Seeing this, Liu Yinyin frowned: "Will the water level go up?"

She lives at the end of the village, and the land where her house is located is on the hillside, which is quite high, but it is different in other places.

The terrain in the village is low. If there is a flood, the houses at that time are all one-story bungalows and probably cannot be lived in.

I don’t know what to do when the time comes.

The possibility of water level rising here is not high, but if the water level rises in the village, the three of them will be trapped at home and unable to go out.

Liu Yinyin sighed: "If the rain stops, we should move to the county town and live there for a few days."

She really didn't know the weather would be so bad. If she had known, she would have gone to live in the county town.

Gu Cheng didn't say anything. He actually wanted to go to the county compound to take a look. There was a lot of food stored there, and he didn't know what the situation was now.

However, they couldn't move for a while because they had breakfast.

It suddenly got dark outside, and suddenly, blinding flashes of lightning appeared in the sky.

Then, lightning flashed across the sky and thunder roared through the clouds.

For a moment, there were flashes of lightning in the sky, and thunder and rain were intertwined, which was very scary to look at.

Hearing the thunder outside, Gu Yanyan burst into tears.

Even though Liu Yinyin blocked his ears in time, the little guy could still hear the loud noise outside.

At this moment, he was crying heart-wrenchingly, his eyeballs drooping like they were free, and he was crying so miserably.

The little guy has been frightened one after another in the past two days. Liu Yinyin was heartbroken: "Be good, Yanyan, don't cry. Dad and Mom are here..."

Gu Cheng held him and coaxed him for a long time before the little guy stopped crying. He was whimpering and looked unhappy.

Liu Yinyin simply wanted to curse...

No, I want to curse God.

Damn God, can't you just be quiet for a while?

Such a huge thunder has caused panic among the people. Now no one dares to go out to grab food.

Every household was confined at home, and with the sound of rain, the village was filled with a cloud of gloom.

The thunder rumbled all morning and stopped in the afternoon.

Gu Cheng went out to take a look and saw that the water was rising everywhere.

Both of them were thinking about moving to the county town, so in the afternoon, the couple began to pack up their things at home.

There was nothing to clean up except the grain in the cellar. If the water rose, it would surely seep into the cellar.
