When Su Nuan was feeding the medicine with the key, the little mantou was still crying, and for a moment she didn't know what to do.
Mother Gu reminded from the side.
"Xiao Feng, hold the child. Xiao Nuan, wait until the child opens his mouth and cries, then pour the medicine in."
The two nodded and followed their nanny's instructions. Some of the medicine spilled out of the cup, but fortunately most of it was fed in.
After taking the medicine and waiting for the drip to finish, Xiao Mantou no longer had diarrhea.
The doctor came over and checked.
"It's best to keep the child in the hospital for one night for observation. If the condition doesn't worsen, he or she can be discharged."
After hearing this, several people hurriedly expressed their gratitude.
Because Gu's mother was busy with work at the hospital, she went to work after Xiao Mantou took the medicine and went to sleep.
When she came over after get off work, Xiao Mantou's condition had improved a lot and he was sleeping on the hospital bed.
She whispered to Su Nuan who was standing beside her.
"Xiao Nuan, how is the child?"
"Mom, I just finished the IV drip. The doctor checked and I'm doing fine. The diarrhea has stopped, but I still have a low-grade fever. He said I'll stay in the hospital for one night for observation."
"That's good, I'm glad you're alright."
Then, he looked at the two elders who were sitting beside him and looked at the time on their watch and said to them.
"Dad, Mom, there's no big problem with Xiao Mantou. How about you two come home with me first? I'll ask his dad to come over and bring food to Xiao Nuan and Xiao Feng later?"
The old lady was still worried and didn't want to leave.
The old man nodded in agreement and pulled his wife to persuade him.
"Old lady, let's go back and get some food for the two children. Otherwise, Xiao Nuan won't have anything to eat, and Xiao Mantou won't have anything to eat either. We have to stay overnight, so we have to go back and pack some things."
After hearing this, the old lady nodded in agreement.
After sending the three elders away, Gu Chengfeng returned to the ward and saw his wife staring at the child without blinking, sitting there motionless. He couldn't help but feel distressed.
He walked a few steps to Su Nuan and sat down next to her. He reached out and hugged Su Nuan, coaxing her softly.
"Wife, it's okay, our son is fine, nothing will happen to him."
Gu Chengfeng's few words of comfort made Su Nuan burst into tears again. She buried her head in his arms and cried loudly. But she was afraid that her crying would wake up the child, so she could only try her best to control the sound of her crying, and her body could not stop shaking.
Gu Chengfeng hugged Su Nuan tightly and patted her back to comfort her.
Seeing Su Nuan blaming herself and crying, he felt the same way. As new parents, it was their negligence that allowed their one-month-old child to suffer this crime. It was their dereliction of duty.
After the two of them hugged each other for a long time, Su Nuan raised her red and swollen eyes and choked with sobs.
"Cheng Feng, are we being irresponsible?"
Gu Chengfeng touched Su Nuan's head.
"We are also new parents and have a lot to learn. It's not that we are irresponsible, but we lack experience. This incident has taught us a lesson. We just need to be more careful in the future."
Su Nuan nodded.
"When I'm not at home, you have to work harder, daughter-in-law, I..."
Su Nuan understood his unspoken debt and guilt, but her husband was a soldier, and he was out there protecting thousands of families, which was his duty.
As a military wife, she had this psychological expectation, so she interrupted his apology.
"Stop talking, I understand."
At this time, little Mantou woke up with a whimper.
The two of them moved to the bedside and watched their son wake up.
When little Mantou woke up, he was about to cry. Su Nuan quickly lifted the quilt and held the child in her arms.
When the little boy was in his mother's arms, he kept nudging his head into her arms. Su Nuan knew that the child might be hungry.
"Cheng Feng, go lock the door and bring a wet towel."
Gu Chengfeng hurriedly prepared according to his wife's instructions and quickly brought the towel over.
Su Nuan wiped the child carefully before letting him drink milk.
After eating and drinking his fill, Little Mantou fell into a deep sleep again. The two of them breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the child showed no signs of discomfort.
They were afraid that the child would wake up and cry again because he felt uncomfortable. You know, little Mantou cried for a long time today, and they were both afraid that he would get dehydrated.
Fortunately, I arrived at the hospital in time, and after getting an injection and taking some medicine, I stopped crying in pain.
It was seven o'clock in the evening.
Gu's second brother, his wife, and Gu's father and mother came to the ward.
After knocking on the door and coming in, I saw the couple sitting by the bed, staring at their child sleeping.
Father Gu couldn't help but cough lightly, which attracted the couple's attention.
After seeing the four people, the two stood up and greeted them.
The four of them walked to the bedside, looked at the little guy sleeping soundly, and hurriedly asked the two of them.
They were relieved to learn that the child's fever had subsided and he had no symptoms of discomfort.
In the afternoon, Mr. Gu and his friends who had just returned from get off work were shocked to learn that Xiao Mantou was sick and hospitalized. They didn't even want to eat and wanted to go to the hospital immediately.
Later, it was the old man who spoke up and asked him to prepare food and come to the hospital after dinner, and only then did they agree.
Since Xiao Mantou returned to Beijing, the Gu family has loved this cute little guy. But when they suddenly heard that the child was sick and hospitalized, everyone was very worried.
Now that they have seen it, they feel relieved.
Mother Gu handed the lunch box to Gu Chengfeng.
"Xiao Feng, Xiao Nuan, go eat quickly. We will take care of the children for you."
The couple nodded and went to the side to open their lunch boxes and eat, while the others sat around the bed and watched.
Not long after, Little Mantou slowly opened his eyes and woke up, as if he felt someone was visiting him.
After waking up, he didn't cry or make a fuss, but just opened his eyes and looked at them, which made the four onlookers feel very distressed.
Mother Gu stepped forward and held him in her arms to coax him, but the little boy looked a little listless.
Second Brother Gu used his favorite rattle to tease him, but the little mantou didn't smile as much as usual and looked a little listless.
However, the eyes will follow the shaking of the rattle.
After the couple finished their meal and came over, Xiao Mantou fell asleep again. Mother Gu put him on the bed and covered him with a small quilt.
"Xiao Feng, how about letting your second brother stay here with you tonight to look after the child while we take Xiao Nuan back home to rest?"
Before Gu Chengfeng could speak, Su Nuan refused.
"Mom, I'm fine. My child is in the hospital. I can't sleep if I go back. Just let me stay here."
Seeing that Su Nuan insisted, Gu's mother stopped persuading her and just told Gu Chengfeng to pay more attention and not let Su Nuan work too hard.
Gu Chengfeng nodded and agreed.
After seeing the four people off, Gu Chengfeng went to the bathroom to get a basin of warm water, wet a towel and wrung it dry, then wiped the little Mantou's hands and feet.
Then the two of them took turns going to the bathroom to wash up.
That night, except for being fed once in the middle of the night and once more near dawn, and having his diaper changed, little Mantou was fine all night long.
The next morning, the doctor did his ward rounds and checked again.
"It's not a big problem. Just feed the child the prescribed medicine on time. He can be discharged from the hospital."
The couple thanked the doctor, saw him off, and started packing up to be discharged from the hospital.
