Chapter 49 A dim light was on in the bathroom

Zhou Xiaochuan has been taking a bath in the river for several days.

Jiang Rou didn't notice it at the beginning.

It was last night, after seeing Dr. Pei, that I learned that Zhou Xiaochuan's fever had reached over 39 degrees.

Food poisoning or acute gastroenteritis can indeed cause fever, but it is usually a low fever and not so serious.

Jiang Rou only realized at this time that Zhou Xiaochuan might have had a fever before.

Then she carefully recalled the abnormalities of Zhou Xiaochuan.

The conclusion was probably that Zhou Xiaochuan must have secretly bathed in the river.

It is only early spring now, and even though the sun is shining brightly and the temperature is high on the island, the sun is only shining for a short while at noon.

The temperature of the river water is still very low.

Zhou Xiaochuan takes a bath in ice-cold water every day, it would be strange if he didn't have a fever.

Zhou Xiaochuan's reaction at this moment completely confirmed Jiang Rou's inner guess.

Why is this little wolf so stubborn?

There was warm water at home, but he refused to wash himself and went to bathe in the cold and dangerous river to avoid her.

Jiang Rou had no choice but to lower her face and speak sternly.

"Xiaochuan, if you want to take a bath, you can do it at home. No one will laugh at you. The river water is so cold, so you have a high fever. The river water is also so dangerous. If you fall in and something happens, what will you let Xiaohua do? What will you let your father do?"

Heavy words, one after another, weighed on Zhou Xiaochuan's heart.

Zhou Xiaochuan is not that kind of ignorant child.

On the contrary, he is too sensible, which is why he is so mature at a young age. He is also stubborn and obstinate.

Zhou Xiaochuan gritted his teeth, pursed his lips, and the words "I was wrong" were stuck in his throat, but for some reason he couldn't say it.

Jiang Rou took a silent deep breath.

She eased the pent-up anger in her heart, softened her voice, and continued softly.

"Xiaochuan, this is a secret between you and me. I won't tell your father, but you are not allowed to bathe in the river again. It's too dangerous."

Zhou Xiaochuan, with red eyes, was stunned again.

He looked at Jiang Rou in disbelief.

"You...you are willing to keep it a secret for me?"

"Yes. This has already happened. Telling your father now will only make him more worried. He is the head of the regiment. There are already many troubles in the barracks. Don't let him worry about things at home. Isn't that what you thought before? That's why you didn't say a word even when Xu Chunxiang bullied you and Xiaohua."

Jiang Rou's seemingly ordinary words once again hit Zhou Xiaochuan's heart hard.

The little boy's thoughts disappeared in front of her.

Zhou Xiaochuan felt embarrassed but not embarrassed.

Since Jiang Rou will keep it a secret for her, then...are they considered a team?

After Jiang Rou finished speaking, she lowered her head again and gently rubbed the back of Zhou Xiaochuan's hand.

Zhou Xiaochuan felt the touch from the palm of his hand. The soft eggs were moving and spinning as if rolling in his chest.

"…Why?"

Jiang Rou was puzzled, "Why why?"

"Why did you take care of me? Why did you carry me to the doctor? Why?"

Zhou Xiaochuan's face was tense and his brows were wrinkled. He looked at Jiang Rou in confusion.

Although he was sick, he also knew how severe the storm was last night.

This woman, who had only been with them for a few days, risked her life to take him to see a doctor.

Even my mother has never done such a thing.

Zhou Xiaochuan really couldn't figure it out and didn't understand why this happened.

Jiang Rou raised her head and smiled softly.

She said it gently and matter-of-factly.

"Why else? Because we are a family. Isn't it normal for family members to take care of each other? Just like you take care of Xiaohua, I should take care of you."

Everything that happened last night was normal to Jiang Rou.

She didn't think of using this incident to change anything in Zhou Xiaochuan, or to gain anything from Zhou Chongshan.

At that moment, Jiang Rou just wanted to protect the child from the bottom of her heart.

After hearing what Jiang Rou said, Zhou Xiaochuan opened his mouth slightly and remained in a daze without any reaction.

The egg in Jiang Rou's hand was no longer warm.

Zhou Xiaochuan had rubbed the back of his hand almost enough to activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis.

She opened her handkerchief, took out the peeled egg, and while Zhou Xiaochuan was stunned, she stuffed it directly into his mouth.

“Mmmmm…”

"Eat it. You eat this egg, and don't let Xiaohua see it. In the future, you are not allowed to secretly share your eggs with Xiaohua."

Jiang Rou already knew that the two eggs given to each person must have both gone into Zhou Xiaohua's stomach.

She stared at Zhou Xiaochuan today and watched him eat the egg.

Zhou Xiaochuan was stared at closely by Jiang Rou, listening to the sound of water made by Zhou Xiaohua in the yard. He puffed up his cheeks and ate the whole egg bite by bite.

It's his eggs.

…

This afternoon.

When the sisters-in-law in the compound learned that the child was sick, they all came to show their concern.

At the same time, congratulations to Jiang Rou.

After all, the marriage report of Zhou Chongshan and Jiang Rou had been approved, and Yang Hongping had told everyone that such a happy event must be celebrated.

Lin Yulan said with a smile.

"Sister Rou, you and Captain Zhou are now a legitimate couple. Just live peacefully in the compound. Your future life will surely get better and better, and be prosperous."

Zhao Guifen said with concern.

"Sister Rou, are you going to have a wedding? You and Captain Zhou are both getting married for the first time, and such a big event should be celebrated. Besides, a woman only gets married once in her life, and if you don't have a wedding now, she will miss it when she is old."

Jiang Rou first thanked Lin Yulan for her blessing.

Then he said to Zhao Guifen.

"Sister Guifen, it doesn't matter whether we have a wedding or not, as long as the organization recognizes the relationship between Chongshan and me. Besides, everyone is busy, and Chongshan is the leader, so we can't take the lead in making a lavish wedding. I'll buy more candies some other day and share them with everyone, and then we'll have celebrated the wedding."

"Oh... Sister Rou, why do you always think about Captain Zhou... Captain Zhou is so lucky to have a wife like you."

Back and forth.

Jiang Rou spent most of the afternoon entertaining her sisters-in-law.

After it gets dark.

Zhou Chongshan still hasn't come back, and he didn't even ask Song Yan to deliver a message. You can imagine how busy he is.

Jiang Rou cleaned the house, cooked dinner and took care of the children as usual.

The night was dark.

In the small courtyard, a dim light was on in the bathroom...
