He was worried too, but his wife was already like this, so how could he lose his composure first?
All I could do was to comfort my wife while she was treating the children, that's all.
"Okay, don't think too much, they will be fine. Our sons can't be defeated by a minor illness. They were born in the Yan family and are destined to face many hardships." Yan Rushan hugged his wife, his hands did not stop comforting, and his mouth did not stop, "As long as it's not an incurable serious illness, we have nothing to fear!"
He knew his wife's medical skills. She was able to independently research the miraculous medicine of repair fluid, and it was recognized by many parties. Her medical skills were not to be called top-notch, but they were definitely not bad.
Zhong Yuxiu nodded slightly, "I just feel bad."
"I don't feel bad anymore. Or maybe my wife should feel bad for me too. They eat and sleep all day long, and their mothers take care of them when they're sick. I feel sorry for myself." He tried his best to attract his wife's attention. "When I was sick as a child, only my grandfather or the guards were by my side to take care of me. I'm not as lucky as them. When I'm sick, my mother takes care of me, and when I'm healthy, she still loves me..."
Looking up at the man holding her, she felt right. This man was jealous and was competing for favor with the children. Although his actions were not very obvious, his words were very clear.
No matter what, she couldn't get angry with the man when he did this; she raised her hand and touched the top of his head, which was prickly. This was the bad thing about having a flat head, it felt prickly when you touched it.
"I'm here to comfort you. Don't be sad. You've grown up and are a man who can live independently and be a father. You can't compare yourself to the children."
Yan Rushan: ...It would be better not to say the latter sentence.
Zhong Yuxiu finally felt relieved when the children's fever subsided. She said to Yan Rushan, "You stay here and look after them. I'll go check on Grandpa. You can't leave. The fever could return, and if it does, it'll be very severe. We can't delay."
"knew."
After sending his wife off, Yan Rushan sat down beside the bed, feeling a pang of bitterness in his heart. What good were these three brats? Their only use, perhaps, was to please Grandpa.
The group of people who are disliked by their own mothers are unaware and sleeping soundly.
Zhong Yuxiu had already walked into the old man's room. There was no one watching inside. She frowned subconsciously, walked to the old man's bedside, took his pulse first, and confirmed that the high fever had not recurred before she got up and left the room.
Returning to the children's room, she urged, "Rushan, go back and look after Grandpa. He can't be left without someone to look after him. Have you got any medicine? The children and Grandpa are waiting to take it."
"Comrade Gu should be back by now. We have nothing here. We're short of medicine pots, stoves for boiling medicine, and everything else. We'll have to buy these after we buy the medicine." Yan Rushan sighed softly. "When Grandpa gets better, we'll go back to Shangjing, okay?"
"Okay, I have no objection. We are familiar with Shangjing, so it will be convenient for us to do things there."
Most importantly, she was worried the flu would get worse. "There's nothing we can do here. Report this to the higher-ups, and they'll take countermeasures. We'll feel safe staying here. Also, make it clear that the flu can cause complications like pneumonia and heart failure in the elderly and children."
"Okay, I'll find a place to make a phone call."
"Then you go. Ask someone to help keep an eye on the old man. I'm afraid he'll have a sudden high fever and it will come back."
Yan Rushan responded and turned to leave.
Zhong Yuxiu stayed in the room, her mind full of mixed feelings.
Yan Rushan first went to the kitchen and asked Fang Guozhong to go to the old man's room to look after him, and he went out to make a phone call. When he was leaving, he met Gu Lingguo who had bought medicine pots and a small stove, and helped him move the things to the kitchen before leaving.
After a busy day, it was a hot day and the sun had already climbed to the middle of the sky.
Yan Rushan found a convenience store with a phone, gave money and called Xi Nian's number; after he retired that year, Xi Nian took over his position, and now it is still Xi Nian. Whenever Zhong Yuxiu has any problems, she will ask Xi Nian to come forward.
It is not appropriate for him to report the flu as his grandfather is sick; it is most appropriate to find Xi Nian, and if Xi Nian is informed, the higher-ups will know about it first.
"Hello, please connect to 0236." The call was made to Xi Nian's unit, and the number was a landline number.
"Okay, please wait, I'll call you right away."
Not everyone knew the phone number of Xi Nian's unit, and no one dared to call it for fun; therefore, the connection went smoothly.
"Hello, I'm Xi Nian. May I ask who you are?"
"I am Yan Rushan."
Xi Nian paused and asked nervously, "Comrade Yan! Why did you call me suddenly? Aren't you and your family out having fun? How did you have time to call me? Is there something wrong with Comrade Zhong, or did something happen?"
"We traveled to Province G. Yuxiu is fine. However, there's now an extremely contagious flu in the province. My grandfather and children have all been infected, and Yuxiu is treating them." Without giving Xi Nian a chance to continue, Yan Rushan continued, "Yuxiu asked me to tell you that the flu is extremely harmful to children and the elderly. If not treated promptly, there's a high risk of complications, such as pneumonia, heart failure, and even death."
"So serious?!"
Xi Nian stood up suddenly, and the chair made a fierce friction sound under his movement. "I know about this matter. Where are you exactly now? I will send someone to bring Comrade Zhong back."
"We are in the provincial capital of G Province, temporarily renting an old house in the center of the provincial capital."
"I understand. I will arrange it as soon as possible. Please try your best to stop Comrade Zhong from going out." He couldn't say anything to stop Zhong Yuxiu from leaving the elderly and children.
Yan Rushan nodded in agreement, "Please arrange it as soon as possible."
After hanging up the phone, Xi Nian didn't care about anything else and hurriedly called a senior official in Province G, asking him to help cooperate and find the whereabouts of Comrade Zhong Yuxiu first. He would send someone to pick her up immediately, and before they arrived, Comrade Zhong's personal safety must be guaranteed.
After the arrangement was made, Xi Nian breathed a sigh of relief and immediately went to meet with the chief. He explained the situation in G Province to him. The chief would not listen to Yan Rushan's one-sided story. At the same time, he also called G Province. Unexpectedly, G Province had not discovered any cases and was not taking it seriously.
"Leader, we can't delay any longer. We have to bring Comrade Zhong back. Since Elder Yan and the children are infected, they definitely won't be able to come back for a while."
Otherwise, if the flu is brought back, more people will be harmed.
The chief shook his head, "Did you send someone over?"
"Someone has been sent."
"Then have someone protect Comrade Zhong well. If she doesn't want to come back, don't force her." The leader thought more carefully. After observing Zhong Yuxiu's character for so many years, he understood her a little bit; she was not the kind of person who would abandon a sick old man or a child.
