Central Hospital, Emergency Room
The doctor in a white coat helped Xiaohuzi clean the wound and gently applied mercurochrome.
"Little boy, don't run around or move around for the next few days, otherwise your wound will have trouble healing. Also, don't eat anything that makes you irritated. Don't eat anything your parents tell you not to eat."
Little Tiger nodded obediently and asked, "When will it be better?"
"About three or four days." The doctor looked at Gu Qi and Chen Xingling and explained, "They are just skin injuries, not serious. It's just that the weather is hot, so be careful with what you eat and don't let it get wet, to avoid inflammation and swelling of the wound."
Gu Qi and Chen Xingling both answered yes.
Little Tiger opened his cute eyes and asked seriously: "Uncle Doctor, is it three days or four days? There are 24 hours in a day, three days is 72 hours, and four days is 96 hours. There is a difference of 24 hours, which is a huge difference!"
The doctor was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"Do I need to calculate so carefully? I'm only talking about the approximate time. I can't be sure of the exact time. How can you, a little kid, know that there are 24 hours in a day and can even do mental arithmetic?"
Little Tiger shook his head: "It's that simple, no need to calculate. Doctor, why can't you determine it?"
"Why..." The doctor smiled and replied, "Why has it to do with your cooperation in healing and your physical condition. Of course, if you come to change the dressing on time the day after tomorrow, you will get better faster."
Little Tiger agreed seriously: "I know. Don't worry, I will cooperate well. The day after tomorrow morning, my mother will bring me to change the medicine. If she forgets, I will remind her. Also, my physique has always been good!"
The doctor was a little confused to find that this little guy could answer questions fluently.
"...Really? Do you know what physical fitness is?"
Little Tiger replied: "Of course! I have a really good physique! My mother said that I have rarely been sick since I was a child. If the old witch hadn't pushed me, I wouldn't have fallen so badly."
The doctor looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Little boy, how did you know I was a doctor? And why did you call me 'uncle'? I don't think your parents taught you that just now."
"No need to teach." Little Tiger raised his chubby little face: "You are a doctor, and the auntie wearing a nurse's cap over there is a nurse. Doctors are responsible for seeing patients and prescribing medicine, while nurses are responsible for giving injections and taking care of patients. So, you are a doctor, not a nurse. You look older than my dad, so I call you 'Uncle'."
The doctor smiled approvingly and looked at Gu Qi and Chen Xingling beside him. He found that the couple were discussing something in low voice, so he pulled Xiao Huzi over to start a chat.
"Little boy, are you in kindergarten? How old are you? At your age, you should be in daycare."
"I'm over three years old." Little Tiger answered crisply, "I never went to nursery school. I went to kindergarten for one semester, but it's no longer suitable for me. I'm now a third-grade student at Mizukoshi Elementary School."
The doctor's eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief: "Really?!!"
"Yeah." Little Tiger nodded and explained seriously: "But I think the third grade will soon be too late for me. I can read and recite all the elementary school texts, and I have already learned how to make new words. Math is not difficult either, it's just simple operations like subtraction, multiplication and division. I plan to talk to my dad about letting me go to junior high school next semester. I hope I can go to high school when I'm five, otherwise I think it's a waste of time to go from grade to grade. After all, time is money, and money can't buy time!"
doctor:"……"? ? ?
Gu Qi, who was standing by, held his wife's hand tightly and confirmed again and again: "Are there any injuries on your body? Were you beaten?"
"No." Chen Xingling smiled bitterly: "I'm just very hungry."
Gu Qi hurriedly said, "After Hu Zi has finished taking the medicine, I will take you to find something to eat."
Chen Xingling asked suspiciously: "Why are you still not off work so late today?"
"A meeting." Gu Qi explained: "It was a temporary government meeting that Lao Guo had decided on. Just after the meeting, someone came in and said Guo Jiayue was making a fuss. He also said that you and the child were there. I was so scared that I ran out."
"No wonder you all came in such large numbers!" Chen Xingling murmured with lingering fear: "Fortunately, Hu Zi is not seriously injured..."
Suddenly, the doctor came over in a panic and looked at them with wide eyes.
"Do you-do you know that your son is--very--"
Chen Xingling was shocked and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong? Isn't it just a flesh wound? Is there any bone damage? Have you checked it? "
Whenever he thought of the moment when little Tiger was thrown out, Laoqin's heart couldn't help but tremble with pain!
Seeing his wife startled, Gu Qi felt distressed and gently put his arm around her shoulders.
"Don't panic, don't panic. It should be fine."
The doctor shook his head hurriedly: "No, no! I checked everything and there are no broken bones. That - I want to ask you! Your child is so smart - have you tested his IQ? In fact, decades ago, there were a series of methods for testing children's intelligence abroad, which were carefully compiled by a very famous psychology professor..."
"That's good." Chen Xingling waved his hand and interrupted him: "As long as the child is healthy, we don't care about his IQ."
She was now upset and just wanted to take her child home quickly and have a good meal.
For any mother who has just experienced the horror of having her child snatched away in front of her eyes, nothing is more important than the safety and security of her child at this moment.
Including the IQ level - get lost!
"Your child's IQ must be much higher than that of ordinary people!" The doctor introduced excitedly: "Our hospital can recommend--"
"No need." Chen Xingling interrupted again: "Doctor, thank you for your kindness. I have an emergency at home. If there is nothing else, we will take the child away first."
After saying this, she picked up her son and walked out.
Little Tiger had just been frightened, and although he had recovered a little, he still felt the safest in his mother's arms. He put his chubby little hands around his mother's neck and continued to lean in his mother's warm arms.
The doctor watched her take the child away in confusion, then turned hurriedly to look at Gu Qi.
"Dad, have you noticed that your child is much smarter than other children of the same age?"
"Yes." Gu Qi replied calmly.
The doctor quickly dug into his pocket and asked excitedly, "Can you please leave your contact information? My last name is Lin, Shuangmulin. I can test your child's IQ for free, and I can recommend him to participate in a scientific research project at a large hospital in the province—"
"No, thank you." Gu Qi interrupted calmly: "My child does not accept research."
After saying this, he quickly caught up with his wife and left.
Doctor Lin shouted "Hello! Hello!" several times, but Gu Qi ignored him and walked away with big strides.
There was a small noodle shop in front of the hospital, and the couple took Xiaohu to eat a bowl of noodles.
At this time, Lao Guo's driver came over and explained: "Gu Gong, sister-in-law, the factory manager said it's a little late now, so he asked me to take you back first. He said he will come to see you tomorrow morning."
"Yeah." Gu Qi nodded calmly: "Tell him to have a good rest tonight."
The driver smiled bitterly. "Ms. Guo was making a fuss just now, cursing and hitting. Luckily the doctor had that... shot to calm her down. She's sleeping peacefully now. The factory director asked me to take you back and pick up his wife to take care of her."
"Xiao, let's go." Chen Xingling said: "Thank you for your hard work."
The driver hurriedly asked them to get in the car, chattering non-stop.
"Mr. Gu, we are so familiar with each other now. I always say what I think. I don't hide anything. You know that."
Gu Qi gave a low "hmm" as a response.
The driver walked around the steering wheel, sighing.
"In fact, the factory director really worried a lot about his niece, and was also irritated by her countless times! Deputy Factory Director Liu was unwilling to marry Guo Zhu at first, but it was Guo Zhuo's repeated persuasion that finally led to their marriage. But who knew that a forced marriage would not be happy? The couple quarreled for more than ten years and finally divorced."
