Chapter 569 Does it count as growing old together?
Perhaps because his mood was a bit volatile today, Jiang Chunyu didn't want to go back so early.
Lin Xiaoqi parked the car at the entrance of their usual park and led Jiang Chunyu into the small park.
The snow was still falling from the sky, the pure white snow falling silently to the ground.
There wasn't a single person in the park.
The once bustling pond is now covered with thick ice, and even the children are confined to their homes on this snowy day.
Instead of going to the pond, the two took a walk along the park's paths.
Someone must have shoveled the snow this morning, because the snow on both sides of the road was already more than a foot deep, but the snow on the road surface was still not up to the top of a shoe.
Jiang Chunyu was wearing sheepskin boots given to him by Li Mingzhu. They were a bit heavy, but very warm.
Lin Xiaoqi was worried that she would be cold, so when she got out of the car, she put a hat and scarf on her and then put a thick military coat on her.
The only thing Jiang Chunyu had exposed was his eyes. Because they were large and bright, they blinked when he looked at people, which made him lose his usual aloofness.
"Lin Xiaoqi".
Jiang Chunyu tried hard to pull the scarf down, revealing his mouth.
Because the scarf was wrapped around my mouth, the warm breath from my breathing blew onto it. Now that I've pulled it down to my chin, it's actually a bit damp.
"What's wrong?" Lin Xiaoqi held onto Jiang Chunyu's hand tightly, not letting go.
Jiang Chunyu tried to lift his chin: "This part of my chin is uncomfortable."
Lin Xiaoqi took off her gloves and touched them, and immediately knew why. The gloves had gotten damp when she breathed, which was why she felt uncomfortable.
He turned the scarf inside out, so the damp side was facing out, which made Jiang Chunyu feel much better.
The two held hands again and walked aimlessly forward.
When Jiang Chunyu reached the other end of the park, he realized that he was facing an alley.
She had never been here before.
Lin Xiaoqi assessed her surroundings: "I remember there's a state-run restaurant just around the corner. The roasted sweet potatoes and sugar-roasted chestnuts I bought for you last time were from that restaurant. Do you want some more?"
Jiang Chunyu shook his head: "Let's go back and bake it ourselves."
"Okay, we'll bake it ourselves when we get back."
Lin Xiaoqi took Jiang Chunyu's hand and turned around, preparing to walk back. "Let me carry you on my back. Are you tired?"
"A little."
Jiang Chunyu looked up at Lin Xiaoqi's head and said, "Look, wouldn't you say we'll grow old together?"
"Of course not."
Lin Xiaoqi reached out and covered her ears, "We still have five or six decades to go before we can grow old together."
Finally, Jiang Chun was carried home by Lin Xiaoqi.
That very night, she developed a high fever and was rushed to the hospital by Lin Xiaoqi.
This day is the fifth day of the first lunar month, the day to welcome the God of Wealth. Even though feudal superstitions are not allowed now, people still won't go to the hospital casually on this day unless something life-threatening happens.
Jiang Chunyu was admitted to the hospital as soon as he arrived, suffering from high fever and pneumonia. The high fever caused him to develop a rash all over his body.
It was cold, so Lin Xiaoqi warmed her hands on her stomach before applying the ointment.
When Jiang Chunyu woke up, it was already past 2 p.m.
Because of the high fever, my voice was hoarse, and I had to try very hard to speak so that I could only produce a few breathy sounds.
"water."
As soon as Jiang Chunyu moved, Lin Xiaoqi noticed. When he saw Jiang Chunyu mention water, he quickly scrambled out of bed and added boiling water to the already cooled teacup.
After tasting it himself to make sure it wasn't too hot, he half-helped Jiang Chunyu up and brought the teacup to her lips.
Jiang Chunyu drank half a teacup of water in one gulp before shaking his head.
She developed a fever in the middle of the night last night.
The two of them took a walk in the park, then went home, warmed themselves by the fire, and cooked dinner together before going upstairs to sleep.
Jiang Chunyu developed a high fever in the middle of the night, and Lin Xiaoqi rushed her to the hospital for an antipyretic injection.
The antipyretic injection was very effective; the fever subsided within half an hour.
Who knew that after sleeping until dawn, Jiang Chunyu developed a high fever again, reaching 39.7 degrees Celsius. The doctor who came to work in the morning prescribed medicine and gave Jiang Chunyu an IV drip.
The IV drip was left on for three bottles until after 11 o'clock before it was removed.
Lin Xiaoqi stared intently, not even bothering to eat breakfast or lunch.
Setting down her teacup, Lin Xiaoqi reached out and touched Jiang Chunyu's forehead: "Are you hungry? Do you need to go to the toilet?"
Jiang Chunyu couldn't help but laugh. How did these two questions end up together?
She couldn't possibly answer, "I'm not hungry, I don't need to go to the toilet," or "I'm hungry, I need to go to the toilet."
"Help me up, I need to use the restroom, but I'm not hungry right now."
"oh."
Lin Xiaoqi also realized her grammatical error and quickly helped Jiang Chunyu up and put her shoes on.
It was still those furry boots. Last night, Lin Xiaoqi clearly brought her here without any shoes on, and she didn't know who brought them this morning.
Seeing Jiang Chunyu looking down at his shoes, Lin Xiaoqi quickly explained, "When Xiao Dai came home this morning, Aunt Zhang helped you get a change of clothes and shoes."
Aunt Zhang is Uncle Zhang's wife. Last night, Lin Xiaoqi took Jiang Chunyu to the hospital. This morning, Old Lin called Uncle Zhang and asked him to ask his wife to come over and help take care of Jiang Chunyu when he went to work.
In the morning, Aunt Zhang brought breakfast to Lin Xiaoqi and Jiang Chunyu, but because Jiang Chunyu was still asleep, Lin Xiaoqi didn't eat it, and the breakfast was eventually sent back.
Lin Xiaoqi also asked Aunt Zhang to go back and take the shoes and Jiang Chunyu's underwear, cotton undershirts and trousers.
Last night he had a fever and sweated profusely. Lin Xiaoqi suspected that Jiang Chunyu's high fever this morning was due to his sweaty body.
Aunt Zhang went back to get the clothes and brought them over. The doctor had just prescribed the medicine but hadn't started the IV drip yet, so Aunt Zhang helped Lin Xiaoqi change Jiang Chunyu's clothes in bed.
Hearing Lin Xiaoqi say this, Jiang Chunyu noticed that he had changed his underwear and was not wearing the same clothes he had worn before going to bed last night.
After going to the toilet and washing up, I went back to bed.
Lin Xiaoqi drank the now-cold water in one gulp, then licked her chapped lips: "You rest for a while, I'll put the lunchbox on the stove to heat it up, and you can eat some with me later."
"You didn't eat either, did you?"
"No, we'll eat together later."
Actually, Jiang Chunyu had no appetite, but Lin Xiaoqi hadn't eaten either, so she could only nod and agree to eat something together after it was heated up.
Lin Xiaoqi bumped into Aunt Zhang as soon as he stepped out. When Aunt Zhang saw that he had a lunchbox, she quickly took it from him, saying, "I'll take it to the kitchen to heat it up. The stove won't heat it up well."
The rice was being heated on the stove, but the bottom was burnt while the top was still cold.
Take it to the kitchen, put water in a pot, and then put it on to heat. It heats up quickly and evenly, and you don't have to worry about it burning.
Lin Xiaoqi knew that Aunt Zhang had connections in the hospital cafeteria, so she didn't care and simply handed the lunchbox to Aunt Zhang.
Aunt Zhang and Uncle Zhang, though said to be servants of his father, were no different from his biological parents.
When he was a child, his mother was sick after giving birth to him, and he was cared for by Aunt Zhang until his mother passed away.
The old man was particular, saying that he was alone and didn't need so many people to take care of him, so he left only Uncle Zhang at home.
Fortunately, the old man found Aunt Zhang a job cleaning the courtyard.
Now that Xiaoyu is sick, Lin Xiaoqi is wondering if she should ask Aunt Zhang to come back so that she can live with them and take care of Xiaoyu.
