Gong Zhaodi and Wang Daya dressed the children and then went out with Zhong Yuxiu, walking along the corridor and taking them for a stroll in the small garden. It was a bit warm, rather than a cool breeze, which was just right for the children.
If you have just been sick, being exposed to the wind will only make your condition worse and make your already sick body even worse.
They had just been ill, and although their fever had subsided, they were still listless. Wang Daya and Gong Zhaodi felt sorry for them and held them in their arms while walking and comforting them.
When they arrived at the lobby, Zhong Yuxiu pulled out the blankets they had been using and spread them out in the corner. Wang Daya and Gong Zhaodi placed the children on the blankets. One of them said, "Comrade Zhong, can I go back to the room and get the children's blankets?"
"That's fine. If they fall asleep, I'll cover them up. If not, forget it."
"Okay, I'll get it first. Comrade Gong can go to the kitchen to help. Comrade Zhong can look after the children here for a while. I'll be back soon." Wang Daya agreed, turned around and left quickly.
Seeing this, Gong Zhaodi said, "Comrade Zhong, I'll go to the kitchen to help first."
"Go ahead." Zhong Yuxiu waved her hand indifferently, watching her back as she left the main hall before settling down on the mattress. She reached out and gently stroked the children's hair, which was damp with sweat from the high fever. She had only wiped them briefly when she brought them out, and the sweat had dried on their heads during the walk. A few of their hairs stood up, and she stroked them down.
"Mom." Li Ji looked listless, with his head tilted back, feeling weak and powerless.
"Mom is here. Are you hungry? You'll have food soon." Zhong Yuxiu picked up Li Ji, feeling distressed after all. Seeing the other two boys also looking at her, she simply pulled them into her arms and said, "You too, you'll have food soon."
"Mommy, hold me." Li Zhen put his arms around her neck.
Li Ming followed suit, ignoring his tiredness, and put his arms around his mother's neck; instead, he pushed their eldest brother away. Li Ji was furious, but he didn't want to move at the moment, so he didn't move.
Zhong Yuxiu chuckled, hugged Li Ji back into her arms, and kissed them on the forehead one by one. "You little rascals, you pushed your eldest brother away. It's a pity that your eldest brother is so polite to you on weekdays. But when the critical moment comes, you will know what kind of people you are."
"Ah, ma, pot."
"You can call me brother now?" Zhong Yuxiu was pleasantly surprised. Although her pronunciation was not standard, she couldn't help but say, "Call me brother more often in the future. You guys are just too lazy. We have to teach you over and over again when calling someone. No matter how much we teach you, you have to be willing to call me brother."
Speaking of this, she felt helpless again.
The three boys have similar personalities. When you teach them to call people, they will call out when they are happy or want to call out; when they are unhappy or don’t want to call out, they are too lazy to open their mouths.
"Mom, giggle."
Li Ming spoke suddenly, and Zhong Yuxiu was pleasantly surprised. She hugged her second son and kissed him, "Our Li Ming is amazing. He actually sucked the right thing."
Keke is a little different from the word "brother", but it's almost the same; the "pot" that Lizhen shouted is more like the homophonic way people in S Province shout it.
"Comrade Zhong, the small quilts are here." Wang Daya stepped into the main room. Zhong Yuxiu looked up and saw that she was holding three small quilts in her hands. When the others came closer, Zhong Yuxiu reached out to help take two of them and put them aside. Wang Daya then put the quilt in her hand to the place where Zhong Yuxiu had placed it.
"Comrade Zhong, can you take care of it here?"
Zhong Yuxiu looked up at her and nodded, "Sure, what do you want to do?"
"Yes, I want to help out in the kitchen. I wonder if the food is ready by now." Wang Daya said frankly, "Also, I want to go see how Old Master Yan is doing. I heard that he is also sick. I can't leave here, so I haven't visited him yet."
"Of course, if you can't leave, I won't go for the time being." Their main job is to take care of the children and do housework. They can't put the cart before the horse.
Zhong Yuxiu took a quilt and wrapped the three children together. "Go ahead and do whatever you need. You and Comrade Gong are not needed here for the time being. Grandpa's condition has improved, so you might as well go over and take a look."
"Okay, I'll trouble you here. After I see the old man, I'll go to the kitchen."
"Um."
After getting Zhong Yuxiu's approval, Wang Daya looked at the children again and turned away.
Zhong Yuxiu looked up at the doorway, but Wang Daya was no longer there. She had to admit that Wang Daya was significantly superior to Gong Zhaodi in both emotional intelligence and IQ. Wang Daya was very good at dealing with people, with a set of principles for what she said and did. Gong Zhaodi was much worse in these areas, so while she wouldn't be disadvantaged by Wang Daya, she wouldn't stand out either.
With Wang Daya in front, Gong Zhaodi was destined to be just a deputy.
However, it is not a bad thing that everyone is good at different areas; Wang Daya takes the lead in doing things, and Gong Zhaodi assists her. She will not make big mistakes, but she will not make much contribution or performance either.
Zhong Yuxiu shook her head and stopped thinking about it; she hugged the children, kissed and hugged them, and felt happy and at ease.
On this side, Wang Daya arrived at the door of the old man's room. The door was wide open. Because of the curtain, the situation inside could not be seen clearly from the outside; so she raised her hand and knocked on the door.
"Mr. Yan, is Comrade Yan here?"
"Here." Yan Guofeng turned his head and said.
Wang Daya asked, "Can I come in? I'm here to visit the old man."
"Come in." His voice was less full of energy and more hoarse.
As soon as Wang Daya heard it, she knew it was the old man who spoke. She breathed a sigh of relief and walked into the house. She lifted the curtain and walked in. The old man's face was pale and he seemed to have lost some weight.
"Mr. Yan, are you okay? Are you seriously ill?"
"I'm fine now. I took the medicine Yuxiu prescribed and I feel better. Why did you come here? Where are the children? Don't infect them when you go back later." Yan Guofeng thought a lot and considered things carefully. Even though he was sick and mentally exhausted, he still put the children first. "I heard from Rushan that my cold is contagious. Take a good bath when you go back. The children are weak and can't withstand such abuse."
Wang Daya knew what the problem was as soon as she heard it, and her eyes turned to Yan Rushan's face beside her; Yan Rushan shook his head lightly at her, and Wang Daya calmed down and nodded calmly.
"Don't worry, I will definitely clean myself up before taking care of the children. You should also take care of yourself and strive to recover soon. The children are looking for their great-grandfather."
Upon hearing this, Yan Guofeng laughed heartily, his tone not without heartache, "The children spend most of their time with me. They must have been looking for me after not seeing me for so long. You and Yuxiu should take good care of them. I will go see them when I get better."
"Okay, I'll pass that message on to Comrade Zhong."
