That night when Yuanyuan had a fever, Yang Ruoqing barely slept a wink.
Although she didn't have a mobile phone to set the alarm clock, it was as if she had an alarm clock in her body that would wake her up from time to time.
When you wake up, touch your round forehead immediately. If you feel the tentacles are hot, your mood will gather and sink.
When she felt a slight drop of sweat on her forehead, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Because she had to get up constantly to twist the hot handkerchief on the child's head and wipe the palms of her hands and soles of her feet, she never took off her clothes at all.
What does it mean to be naked? This is it.
From time to time, she would feed Yuanyuan a few mouthfuls of warm water, just like that, doing physical cooling actions over and over again while waiting for daybreak.
When daybreak comes, no matter what, whether the fever is gone or not, we have to invite Brother Wangsheng over to take a look.
In this way, it finally got to dawn. It was really dawn, and Wang Cuilian came over.
"Qing'er, how are you? Did Yuanyuan's fever subside last night?"
Wang Cuilian's voice was hoarse and her eyes were bloodshot.
Obviously, she didn't sleep well last night, and she kept thinking about Yuanyuan.
Yang Ruoqing said: "The fever has gone down a lot, but it's still a little low-grade."
Hearing this, Wang Cuilian's mood became heavier and heavier, which meant that her little grandson had been suffering from fever all day and all night.
"What should we do? Let me go and make ginger tea for Yuanyuan to drink?" Wang Cuilian asked Yang Ruoqing for her opinion.
But Yang Ruoqing said: "There's no rush to make the ginger tea. Auntie, you stay with him first. I'll call Brother Wangsheng to come over and take a look. He should get up now."
Wang Cuilian nodded quickly: "Okay, okay!"
"Mom, are you okay in Tuantuan?" Yang Ruoqing asked while changing her shoes. Only then did she realize that the shoes on her feet were the same ones she wore when she went to the county town yesterday morning, and she had not bothered to change them.
No wonder my feet were so cold, it turned out that my socks were already wet with the cold sweat on the soles of my feet.
Wang Cuilian told Yang Ruoqing: "Tuantuan is fine. I think Yuanyuan has a fever. She kept touching her head last night. Fortunately, Tuantuan doesn't have any fever."
This news is somewhat comforting to Yang Ruoqing. The biggest fear in families with multiple children is that one child will be uncomfortable and then pass it on to another child.
Sometimes children get sick due to repeated cross-infections, and the adults suffer as well.
Soon, Wangsheng was invited home by Yang Ruoqing.
At this time, Yuanyuan was already awake, and Wang Cuilian was wrapping Yuanyuan in her coat, holding him and helping him pee.
Seeing Yang Ruoqing's return, Wang Cuilian said: "I just woke up and said I wanted to pee, but I gave him a handful and couldn't get a few drops out. I don't know what's going on."
Yang Ruoqing looked at Yuanyuan. Yuanyuan's face was still bright red, her eyes were wet and watery, and the corners of her eyes were stained red.
Apparently the poor little guy had been burning all night and had dried his urine.
"It's almost done. You can pee later. Mom, I'll hold you."
Yang Ruoqing took Yuanyuan and laid him flat on the bed. Then Wangsheng came forward and began to take Yuanyuan's pulse and diagnose...
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law stood aside, holding their breath and not daring to breathe out, until Wang Sheng's diagnosis was completed.
Wang Sheng said to Yang Ruoqing: "He has caught wind and cold and evil spirits have entered his body. I will prescribe some medicine for him to take. It is best not to leave the house for the next three to five days. He must not have a convulsion or wash his hair or bathe."
"The diet should be light and easy to digest. Eat small and frequent meals. It is not suitable to engage in extensive activities and sweating."
While Wang Sheng was writing the prescription, he explained many aspects to Yang Ruoqing in detail.
"The two children have been separated for the past few days, lest the disease spread to the other child."
"It may be accompanied by some coughing. When coughing, drink another pack of medicine to eliminate phlegm. Try to let the child drink more hot water and keep warm..."
…
After sending Wang Sheng away and leaving behind two large packages of medicine, Yang Ruoqing and Wang Cuilian began to get busy.
At this time, Blacksmith Luo also came over. After hearing what happened here, Wang Cuilian said to him: "Don't go anywhere these days. You just lead the group to play. Don't come to this house. If the group cries and makes trouble, Just think of something, Qing'er has to focus on taking care of Yuanyuan."
Blacksmith Luo nodded vigorously and left the dormitory as if he had received a military order.
At this moment, it is most important for the whole family to mobilize and work together to restore the child's health.
After sending away Blacksmith Luo, Wang Cuilian quickly took the time to go to the kitchen to get some breakfast.
The family is short of manpower, so breakfast must be as simple as possible.
"Qing'er, after breakfast later, you can lie down for a while and catch up on your sleep. I'll watch over Yuanyuan."
When Wang Cuilian walked into the bedroom carrying porridge, she found Yang Ruoqing feeding Yuanyuan medicine, so she whispered advice from the side.
Yang Ruoqing nodded lightly, and neither mother-in-law nor daughter-in-law dared to speak too loudly.
Because Yuanyuan was not feeling well, the little guy was a little irritable. Even when he drank the medicine, he closed his eyes and his breath was very hot.
It's really heartbreaking, I just want him to get better soon! At the very least, the fever must be gone first!
…
With the blessing of Bodhisattva, after three days of repeated attempts, Yuanyuan finally stopped burning.
But the child's mental state has obviously been affected. When you hold him in your arms, he is no longer as noisy as before. He just lies on your shoulders softly and lets you walk around the house in your arms.
"I've been sleeping heavily for the past three days, and haven't eaten anything decent. My face has become thinner." Wang Cuilian brought the meat and rice porridge, looked at Yuanyuan, and felt so distressed that she almost shed tears. .
Yang Ruoqing held Yuanyuan with one hand, patted his lower back gently, and said, "Illness has damaged your vitality, but you will slowly nurse back to health, and the flesh will grow back."
Wang Cuilian looked at Yang Ruoqing again, "You look more haggard."
Yang Ruoqing happened to pass by the bronze mirror at this time, so she stopped and took a few glances at herself in the bronze mirror.
A few days ago, I would often hold Yuanyuan and pace around the house like this when he was feeling uncomfortable, but I had no intention of looking at my appearance in the bronze mirror.
After looking at it for a few times, Yang Ruoqing couldn't help but be stunned.
Only then did I realize that I hadn’t brushed my teeth, washed my face, or combed my hair for two or three days!
Whenever I feel sleepy, I would grab a handful of water and slap my cheeks a few times to refresh myself. When I feel tired, I would just lie down on the edge of the round bed and take a nap.
It's so tiring.
"It's okay, it's okay. Anyway, I won't leave this house these days, so outsiders can't see it." Yang Ruoqing said with a smile.
"When Yuanyuan is completely healed in a few days, I will tidy myself up again."
Wang Cuilian nodded slightly, with distress in her eyes.
I feel sorry for my daughter-in-law and my grandson.
"Come, I'll feed Yuanyuan some meat and rice porridge. Qing'er, you can take a bite while it's hot."
Wang Cuilian came over and took Yuanyuan over.
