Zhu Guixia said coldly, "If you had remembered to add firewood, this wouldn't have happened."
Zhao Lai Di was already feeling guilty, so she didn't dare look at her. She folded up the quilt, got off the kang, and walked out. "I don't know. I just fell asleep and forgot about it."
Wang Jun frowned as he watched, and took some firewood to light the kang. "You guys are really something. Before you came, there were more than ten of us, but you guys couldn't make any more trouble."
"Who wants to mess with her? She's the one who keeps picking fights." Zhu Guixia poured a glass of water from Bai Ruozhen's teacup and handed it to her. "Drink some water first. I'll go ask if anyone has any medicine to reduce the fever."
Bai Ruozhen's face was red because of the fever, and her head was dizzy, so she didn't say anything when Zhu Guixia and Zhao Lai Di quarreled. She didn't believe that Zhao Lai Di did it on purpose unless she said so.
Bai Ruozhen drank some hot water and fell asleep. The kang was heated and it was warm.
Zhu Guixia said to Feng Qiujuan, "You keep an eye on her. I'll ask who has the medicine." Then she went out.
After a while, Zhao Lai Di came back and saw that the kang was on fire. She muttered, "Why are you burning the kang in broad daylight? What a waste of firewood."
Feng Qiujuan, who had always been amiable, glanced at her and said, "If you hadn't forgotten to heat the kang last night, Zhenzhen wouldn't have gotten sick. If she hadn't gotten sick, there wouldn't have been any need to heat the kang during the day."
"I've already said, I didn't mean it." Zhao Lai Di was annoyed. She was also cold in the morning, and her quilt was the hardest and thinnest among the four of them. She wasn't sick yet, but someone who was covered with the thickest quilt had a fever. What did this have to do with her?
Zhao Lai Di's voice was a little loud, and Bai Ruozhen frowned in a daze.
Feng Qiujuan's face flushed with anger. "Zhao Lai Di, keep your voice down. Besides, this firewood was sent by Aunt Qiu. She said it was for Zhenzhen, not you. Now that the kang is burning, you should leave."
"Why should I go out? I won't go out." Zhao Lai Di said as she took off her shoes, got on the kang and burrowed into the quilt. "I won't go out."
"What are you two yelling about?" The door was pushed open and then quickly closed. Li Aihong came in with her hands waving. She reached out and touched Bai Ruozhen's forehead, frowning and saying, "Why is it so hot?"
Feng Qiujuan glared at Zhao Lai Di angrily, then said, "It's because of the cold."
Li Aihong sighed and said to Zhao Lai Di, "Zhao Lai Di, can you please stop causing trouble? If you do, I will tell the captain."
Zhao Lai Di covered herself with the quilt and turned away, a trace of grievance lingering in her nose. "I didn't do it on purpose. Besides, I woke up from the cold. How come I don't have a fever? It's obvious that she's just being too delicate."
"You." Li Aihong didn't know what to say. She raised her hand to tuck Bai Ruozhen's quilt, then said, "No one has medicine. I asked Wang Jun to go to Gu Changqing's house to ask. If they still don't have medicine in our village, we have to go to the town health center to get it. I asked Guixia to make ginger soup. I'll go see if it's ready."
Feng Qiujuan nodded and said, "Thank you, Sister Aihong."
Li Aihong smiled and went out.
Feng Qiujuan looked at Zhao Lai Di and thought it would be better if she could get rid of her so that she wouldn't live in the same room with them.
Unfortunately, the educated youth in other rooms were also fully occupied.
Wang Jun came out of the educated youth point and went straight to Gu Changqing's house. The distance between Gu's house and the educated youth point was not far, so he arrived at Gu's house soon. Wang Jun entered the yard and called out "Auntie", and Qiu Lanying asked her to come in.
"Why are you here?" Qiu Lanying was familiar with everyone at the educated youth site.
Wang Jun sighed and said, "Auntie, this is what happened. The new female educated youth forgot to add firewood to the kang last night, and it caught fire early this morning. I came to ask if you have any medicine."
When Qiu Lanying heard about the new educated youth, she sat up straight and asked, "Who is it?"
"The pretty one, Bai Ruozhen. You chatted with her for quite a while yesterday."
Qiu Lanying was anxious and hurried off the bed, "Hey, let me see if there is any medicine."
After searching for a long time without finding any fever-reducing medicine, Qiu Lanying said to Wang Jun, "You go back first. I'll ask Changqing to go to town to buy some."
Wang Jun said embarrassedly, "How can I feel embarrassed about this?"
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Go back." Qiu Lanying waved her hand and walked out the door, shouting to the next room, "Gu Laowu, get up quickly."
Gu Changqing couldn't resist his curiosity last night, so he took his two dollars and went to the supermarket for a stroll. He came back reluctantly and fell asleep when it was almost dawn. He had only slept for a while when he heard Qiu Lanying's life-threatening screams.
"Mom, let me sleep a little longer." Gu Changqing muttered.
Qiu Lanying knocked on the door with her hand, "Hurry up, your wife is sick, get up quickly and go to town to buy some antipyretics."
Wang Jun, who had just walked to the door, staggered when he heard this. When did Bai Ruozhen become Gu Changqing's wife? I haven't heard that they know each other.
Wang Jun subconsciously turned around and saw Qiu Lanying kicking the door. She was so scared that she quickly ran to the educated youth site.
My goodness, why are the Gu family members so abnormal?
When Gu Changqing heard what his mother said, he quickly retorted, "Mom, please stop talking nonsense. Be careful not to ruin her reputation."
Qiu Lanying smiled and knocked on the door. "If you dare to make me lose my daughter-in-law, I will skin you alive."
Gu Changqing, who was dressed in dog skin, stood up to open the door and said with a smile, "No one would insult their own son like you."
"Hurry up, go on your bike." Qiu Lanying smiled and pushed him. "This is the time for you to show your skills, son. Try to get it right away and get the marriage certificate next year."
Gu Changqing, who hadn't even washed his face, slipped and almost fell into the snow pile next to him.
