Gu Xi knew that Tian Guodong was always his father. Although he could face up to the lack of fatherly love and no longer feel uneasy and painful about it, it was impossible for him to remain calm, let alone say that he loved another son in front of him.
The wind was a bit strong on the road, Tian Guodong sneezed twice because of the cold, and looked back again and again: "Can't we squeeze in a little more in the back? It's too cold in the front. Xiaojie, your clothes are quite thick, they must be new cotton-padded clothes, no wonder you don't feel cold."
Yin Jie acted as if he didn't hear him and ignored him. Tian Guodong could only shut up in embarrassment.
Tian Congbao was not held by his mother and had a fever. He felt uncomfortable and insecure, so he started to make a fuss: "I feel uncomfortable. I want to drink some water. Woo..."
Sheng Huaian was good at everything else, but he was helpless with the child. He turned around and looked at Tian Guodong. Tian Guodong felt his gaze and said, "I'm in the front row. What can I do? He started making a fuss last night and made a fuss all night. His mother coaxed him and let him go. He calmed down when he was tired. If I had known, I should have let his mother go with him so that I could sleep at home."
Everyone else in the car was speechless. Wu Yue hadn't slept all night and was also troubled by the noise: "You have to think of a solution. He is still young and has a fever. Crying like this will definitely hurt his body."
Tian Guodong also felt very annoyed. It was okay for children to play, but how could he really take care of them? He didn't care about the child at all and could only choose to play dead.
Wang Xu opened his eyes, got up, held Congbao in his arms, wrapped the child in a quilt, and patted Congbao's body with his hands.
Although Congbao was usually afraid of Wang Xu, he admired this older brother very much in his heart. He wanted to get close to his mother but his mother wouldn't let him. When he sensed a familiar breath, he tried hard to open his eyes and confirmed that it was Wang Xu. The crying sound disappeared, leaving only bursts of gasps.
Wang Xu said to Gu Xi in a hoarse voice: "Give him some of the water in the thermos."
Gu Xi opened the cup. Fortunately, she had warm milk in it that morning. "Be careful, don't choke."
Wang Xu lowered his head and put the thermos cup to Tian Congbao's mouth. His movements were gentle, but his tone was not very good: "Drink water."
Congbao opened his mouth with a hum, took a sip, found out it was milk, and gulped down half a cup.
Wang Xu took the cup back and handed it to Gu Xi: "Drink this first. If you need to go to the toilet on the way, no one will take care of you. If you pee in your pants, I will beat you."
Congbao pursed his lips, wanting to cry but not daring to, so he simply closed his eyes and fell asleep. Even after falling asleep, his hands were still tightly holding Wang Xu's clothes and would not let go.
Wu Yue saw that Wang Xu had managed to put Cong Bao to sleep in no time, and couldn't help but tease, "I didn't realize that Wang Xu is quite good at taking care of children. Gu Xi, you can be a hands-off manager from now on."
Gu Xi also teased Wu Yue: "Why don't you let Wei Qingzhe take care of it? Practice makes perfect, and you can also be a hands-off boss."
Wu Yue's face flushed immediately: "I am me, why are you putting me and him together? I hate him so much, and he even got sick and needed my care."
She expressed disdain, but with her hands she helped Wei Qingzhe pull the quilt over to cover him, preventing the wind from getting in, with gentle movements.
Sheng Huaian opened his eyes: "That's enough. I'm a patient, why should I suffer here? Seeing you two being so affectionate makes me sick."
After being interrupted by Sheng Huaian, several people couldn't help laughing. Yin Jie also pricked up his ears to eavesdrop and smiled foolishly.
Only Tian Guodong rolled his eyes and turned to Sheng Huaian: "Sheng Zhiqing, you still don't have a girlfriend? I have a daughter at home, she's pretty, why don't you meet her someday?"
Everyone fell silent at the scene, and Gu Xi got mad: "Shut up, the abacus beads are falling on my face. Wangdi is only 16 years old, not yet an adult, you should have some shame."
Tian Guodong knew that Gu Xi was not someone to be trifled with, so he stopped talking. No one spoke again all the way to the hospital.
The tractor carrying a load of patients to the hospital inevitably attracted attention. Since several people were young and good-looking, they couldn't help but discuss: "This relationship is a bit complicated. Are they poisoning each other at such a young age?"
"How could you know it was poison? Why did you poison?"
"Look, there are three boys, two girls, and a child. The relationship seems complicated. Does the child have two fathers?"
"Now that you mention it, it looks a bit like the child. Then who is the father of the child? I think the taller one holding the child looks more like the child."
"Don't worry about who is the father of the child. If you want to change the open robbery to the secret care, isn't it good that they are all fathers?"
Gu Xi turned around and glared at the two aunts. The aunts immediately shut up and waited for Gu Xi to walk away: "See, I was right. You're still glaring at me."
The doctor who received the patients was also there yesterday. Today he learned that several of the people who were saving the children had developed a fever due to the cold. After deducting some fees, he arranged for the three to stay in the hospital for one day. They can be discharged if their fever subsides, otherwise they will have to stay longer.
Congbao's condition was more serious. The doctor took off his mask after doing a series of tests and said, "Tian Congbao's father, why didn't you send him to the hospital yesterday? The other children were sent here right away. He was delayed overnight and his condition worsened to pneumonia. He will be hospitalized for five days to see how he is treated in the end."
Tian Guodong understood that pneumonia was a very serious disease that might leave lung diseases and affect future labor force. Suddenly, he became a little displeased with this child. If he couldn't work, wouldn't he be a useless person?
Tian Guodong didn't understand and kept thinking about it, so he said directly to the doctor, "Why does he have to stay in the hospital for so long for pneumonia? Are you doctors trying to cheat me out of money? He has to stay in the hospital for five days just for a fever. I'm just a farmer, you can just prescribe some medicine for me. I'll take him home and take care of him."
Doctors have seen many such people who know nothing but have many opinions: "Am I the doctor or are you the doctor? This pneumonia is very serious. If you are allowed to take it home without being cured, your life will be in danger. You have to take responsibility for this."
Tian Guodong heard the doctor's tone was not good, so he changed his words: "I have a mother at home, I can't stay here for five days, and where can we farmers get so much money to treat him? How can I run back and forth for five days?"
The doctor knew he was making excuses: "You were asking for money. Aren't those young men who just came in from the same village as you? He's your own son, and he's still so young. You can't be so cruel and not treat him. As a father, you have to take responsibility.
It’s not a lot of money, how can you give up treatment? It’s a life, and your blood is still flowing. "
Tian Guodong's face turned red. He took out all the money in his pocket and counted the eight yuan: "How much is it in total? This is all the belongings I brought with me."
The doctor's face turned grim: "You are just stubborn."
The doctor was so angry that he slammed the table and left, leaving Tian Guodong standing there, not knowing whether to leave or stay, and finally went to the ward.
