Chapter 37 Don’t treat such a good daughter-in-law unfairly
Doctor Pei retracted his gaze and spoke seriously.
"Preliminary observation shows that it is acute gastroenteritis, which has caused a series of symptoms including fever. But generally, fever is not so severe. Your child has a fever of 39 degrees, which is very serious. Fortunately, you were sent to the hospital in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
In this era, there are many children who are not taken seriously when they have a fever, and because of poor medical conditions, they end up being burned and turned into idiots.
Jiang Rou was startled nervously when she heard what Dr. Pei said.
fever?
She woke up in the middle of the night and when she saw Zhou Xiaochuan, she only noticed that he was vomiting and having diarrhea, but didn't notice that he had a fever.
This child actually had a fever of 39 degrees.
But during the day, there was no sign of abnormality.
How long has he endured this...
Jiang Rou felt an indescribable discomfort in her heart.
At the same time, she had a worrying suspicion.
Jiang Rou was certain that this matter must be related to Xu Chunxiang.
"Doctor Pei, is there a possibility... that it's food poisoning?"
When Doctor Pei heard this, he immediately frowned and thought carefully.
He said, "Some symptoms of food poisoning are very similar to those of acute gastroenteritis. If you want to distinguish them, you must analyze the patient's vomit. Under the current conditions in the military camp, these tests cannot be performed."
"I understand. Thank you, Dr. Pei Jun. You have worked hard."
Jiang Rou nodded sincerely and thanked him.
After Dr. Pei Jun checked the speed of the drip for the last time, he went to the office next door and would come back to check every hour.
As he walked out the door.
The sentry who had helped Jiang Rou carry the child earlier asked worriedly.
"Sister-in-law, the child's condition is so serious, should we send someone to notify Captain Zhou?"
"No need. Zhou Chongshan is a soldier, and carrying out the mission is his first responsibility. He has things to do there, so let him be busy. I can take care of the child."
Jiang Rou said this calmly and frankly.
These words made the sentry look surprised and also slowed down Doctor Pei's pace.
In their hearts, they couldn't help but admire Jiang Rou even more.
Such family spirit among soldiers is truly rare.
…
This is late at night.
Zhou Xiaochuan was lying on the bed with an IV drip.
Jiang Rou stayed by his bedside, taking good care of him.
Because of the severe fever, Zhou Xiaochuan's lips were severely chapped. Jiang Rou poured a cup of warm water, dipped a cotton swab in the water, and wiped Zhou Xiaochuan's lips from time to time.
She also entered the "Taoduoduo Mall" in the space system and used the little money she had left to buy a children's fever patch.
A small piece of blue gel was stuck on Zhou Xiaochuan's forehead.
Jiang Rou covered the children's fever-reducing patch with a towel to cover it so that no one would find it.
Zhou Xiaochuan didn't know whether he was feeling unwell or having a nightmare. He kept talking in his sleep and his body would tremble from time to time.
Jiang Rou held his hand tightly all the time, accompanying him and comforting him.
After staying up all night, at dawn.
The howling rainstorm stopped as soon as the sun rose, just as Zhou Chongshan had said.
Jiang Rou could no longer hold on.
She was wearing wet clothes, lying on the side of the bed, and fell asleep in a daze.
A few hours later.
It was only when Zhou Chongshan came down from the coastal defense line that he learned that Zhou Xiaochuan had fallen ill in the middle of the night.
The man, who had been up all night and had not slept all night, immediately looked solemn.
Zhou Chongshan rushed to the infirmary.
"Captain Zhou, wait for me..."
Song Yan, who was following closely behind Zhou Chongshan, could hardly keep up with Zhou Chongshan's pace.
The two hurried and finally arrived at the infirmary.
As soon as Zhou Chongshan opened the door, he smelled the odor of disinfectant and saw an astonishing scene.
His dark pupils shrank slightly.
Inside the infirmary, the sunlight after the rain shines into the small white room.
Zhou Xiaochuan lay on the hospital bed with a towel on his forehead and an IV in his hand. After a night's rest, his pretty little face was no longer pale.
the other side.
Jiang Rou was wearing Zhou Chongshan's military uniform. The man's wide coat looked loose on her slender body.
She held Zhou Xiaochuan's hand tightly with one hand and placed the other hand under her cheek.
She rested her head on her side, revealing her delicate face.
Her skin was too white, so one could see the dark circles under her eyes and the fatigue on her face.
This stormy night was an unprecedented challenge and torture for Jiang Rou.
I don’t know how she managed to survive as such a weak little girl.
Zhou Chongshan's heart tightened involuntarily.
He was about to walk into the ward when Doctor Pei appeared and gave him a look.
Doctor Pei signaled Zhou Chongshan to talk outside.
Zhou Chongshan held the door handle and closed the door gently.
…
Outside the door.
Doctor Pei Jun briefly told Zhou Chongshan about Zhou Xiaochuan's condition.
"…The child has been on IV drip all night, and his fever has gone down. There are no other symptoms, and his condition has stabilized."
When Doctor Pei said this, his eyes became stern.
"But your child has been suffering from long-term malnutrition. Zhou Chongshan, you are the head of a group, how come your child can't even eat enough? He looks like a starving person."
Zhou Chongshan was stunned.
In the army, he is definitely an outstanding regimental commander and has outstanding military talents.
But in life, he is a rough guy.
He thought that if he found a teacher to accompany Zhou Xiaochuan and Zhou Xiaohua and gave them money and food coupons every month, someone would be able to take good care of the two children.
He would occasionally ask Zhou Xiaochuan a few questions, but Zhou Xiaochuan never complained.
In this way, Zhou Chongshan felt that the children were living well.
Who would have thought...
A six-year-old child can suffer from long-term malnutrition.
Zhou Chongshan's eyebrows were tightly knitted together.
Doctor Pei and Zhou Chongshan were originally from the same unit and have known each other for almost ten years.
He was much older than Zhou Chongshan, so he treated Zhou Chongshan as his junior.
Doctor Pei Jun originally wanted to reprimand the younger generation for being so harsh to the child, but looking at Zhou Chongshan's expression, he roughly understood what was going on.
He took back the words that were about to come out of his mouth and said instead.
"Chongshan, military affairs are important, but family affairs are equally important. You are so lucky to have such a good wife. Not only is she pretty, but she is also willing to be the stepmother of your child. You didn't see the worried look on her face when she came here with the child on her back last night. She looked just like the child's biological mother..."
Doctor Pei still feels deeply moved when he recalls it.
He reminded Zhou Chongshan, "Don't treat such a good daughter-in-law badly."
"I won't treat her badly."
Zhou Chongshan took a deep breath, nodded heavily, his eyes firm.
