Lu Xinghe's eyes flashed with panic, but he quickly calmed down.
He walked out of the house and looked at Yun Cuihe, "Mom, please take Xingping Xing'an and Xiaozhu to the old house. Yueyue has a fever, and I have to take care of her at home."
Yun Cuihe was startled and felt a little guilty in her heart, "Has a fever? When I saw her face was not good this morning, I thought she didn't sleep well. Should I find a doctor to check her out?"
Lu Xinghe shook his head.
"No, I can handle it. It's not too early now. Mom, please go to the old house quickly. Remember to tell Yueyue, Grandma, Uncle and Aunt for me."
Yun Cuihe thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay, you take good care of her. If the fever doesn't go down, we still have to find a doctor for her. When the work is done later, mother will bring you food."
Lu Xinghe said hello, then went to the ground to pull out a few green onions, boiled a bowl of water with white green onions, ginger slices, and brown sugar and brought it to the house.
Although he is not good at medical skills, he has been with Chu Yue for so long, and he has become somewhat influenced by it.
"Yueyue, get up first and drink a bowl of ginger syrup."
Chu Yue opened her eyes drowsily, feeling that her throat was about to smoke, "Mr. sir, are you back?"
Lu Xinghe helped her up.
"I've only been away from home for one day, so how come I'm so sick?"
Chu Yue said weakly, "It was cold after the charcoal fire went out last night. I slept in a daze and didn't get up to add charcoal. I felt dizzy when I woke up in the morning."
I thought it would be better after a good sleep, but I ended up with a fever.
After drinking a bowl of ginger syrup, Chu Yue lay down again.
"Ms., please go to the old house. Don't miss Yufang's haircut. I'm afraid I won't be able to go. I'll sleep a little longer."
Lu Xinghe put down the bowl in his hand, "I'm not going anywhere, I'm just staying at home with you, are you still cold?"
Chu Yue's voice had a nasal sound, "Cold."
Lu Xinghe wet the handkerchief with warm water, wrung it out and put it on Chu Yue's forehead. Then he took off his shoes and coat, lifted the quilt and wrapped Chu Yue tightly in his arms, using his own body temperature to warm her.
"Go to sleep, you'll be fine after some sleep."
Chu Yue leaned back and felt peaceful when she felt Lu Xinghe's broad chest. After a while, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Looking at the sleeping little girl in his arms, Lu Xinghe reached out and touched her burning red face, feeling a little guilty in his heart.
Yesterday, the vegetables were sold out and it was already evening. After the three of them had a quick bite, the sky was already getting dark. It gets dark very quickly in winter. They were afraid of something happening on the road, so they didn’t rush back. They found the best place in the county. In a cheap place to live, the three of them spent the night together and spent half a year with the little girl day and night. He was not used to her not being around yesterday.
If I had known that she would get sick from this, even if she had to drive through the night last night, she should have rushed back.
Just after noon, there was a knock on the door outside.
Lu Xinghe touched Chu Yue's forehead. The little girl's fever had subsided, but she was sweating all over. Not only was her inner clothes soaked with sweat, but her own clothes also had some moisture on them.
To avoid catching a cold, the first thing Lu Xinghe did after getting up was to change out of his wet inner clothes, then put on his cotton-padded jacket and went to the yard to open the door.
"mother."
"Hey." Yun Cuihe entered the house holding the bowl in his hand.
"The food was delivered to you right after we finished over there, but it's a little cold. Mom went to the kitchen to warm it up for you." She asked as she walked to the kitchen, "How is Yueyue?"
"The fever has gone away." Lu Xinghe took a basin from under the eaves and followed Yun Cuihe into the kitchen, "Mom, don't be in a hurry to eat. Let's boil a pot of water first. Yueyue is sweating and needs to be wiped off. "
"good."
Yun Cuihe worked quickly and the water was boiled quickly. Lu Xinghe entered the house with a basin of hot water and closed the door.
The kang in the room had already been burned by Lu Xinghe, and the whole room was warm.
He placed the basin in front of the bed and helped Chu Yue sit up from the kang, "Yueyue, wipe yourself down and change into clean clothes first, otherwise you will catch a cold again in wet clothes."
After the fever subsided, Chu Yue felt that her head was not as heavy as before.
She looked at the clothes that had been prepared for her on the kang, and then at Lu Xinghe's hand that wanted to untie her own clothes but didn't dare to stretch out. She felt that her cheeks were starting to get hot again, "I... myself Just come."
Lu Xinghe breathed a sigh of relief and quickly turned his back.
"It's warm in the room. Please change your clothes quickly. I won't look at you."
Chu Yue hummed, stepped on her shoes, got out of bed, wiped herself and put on clean clothes before saying, "I'm fine."
Lu Xinghe turned around and saw that Chu Yue had already put on her cotton-padded jacket.
"are you hungry?"
Chu Yue touched her belly, "A little bit."
Knowing you are hungry means you are getting better.
Lu Xinghe knelt down and put the inner clothes he had changed into and Chu Yue's clothes into the basin, "Mom is heating up the food for us. I'll wash these clothes first, and I'll bring you some food later."
With that said, he picked up the basin and prepared to go out.
Chu Yue stepped forward and wanted to take the basin back into her hands, but she saw Lu Xinghe turned sideways, "You should be better. Don't go out to fight the wind. Just wait for me in the house."
After saying that, he raised his slender legs and walked out of the room in a few steps, and went to the water tank to wash his clothes.
Chu Yue opened the door a small crack and secretly looked in the direction of Lu Xinghe. When she saw him washing clothes seriously, she felt sweet and happy.
How could such a good husband-in-law be met by her?
…
Lu Xinghe washed Chu Yue's clothes and hung them to dry in the yard, then went to the kitchen to bring the meal back to the room.
For lunch, there is brown rice porridge, venison stewed with radish and stir-fried cabbage.
Chu Yue, who had only eaten two mouthfuls of porridge in the morning, now had a fever. She felt unbearably hungry in her belly. She picked up the porridge bowl and started to porridge.
Lu Xinghe put a large piece of venison into her bowl.
When she picked up the second piece, she saw Chu Yue covering her bowl with her hands, "I'm sick and can't eat too much oil and meat. There are only two pieces of meat in total. My husband will eat the other piece."
Seeing the determined look on the little girl's face, Lu Xinghe had no choice but to put the venison into his bowl, and then gave her a piece of radish.
"Don't just eat porridge, eat some vegetables too."
After the two of them had eaten, Lu Xinghe took the bowl out. Since Chu Yue felt better, she got up and went to the main room.
When Yun Cuihe saw her, she quickly put down her needle and thread.
"Why did Yueyue come out? She didn't get much rest."
"Mom, I feel much better now." Chu Yue sat down next to the brazier, "Mom, don't do needlework all the time. It's dark in the room and hurts your eyes."
Whenever she has free time, she embroiders handkerchiefs. She may have accumulated a lot of handkerchiefs at home, but the income is not good now and she hasn't sold them yet.
Yun Cuihe smiled helplessly, "I've gotten used to it over the years. I can't keep my hands free even while sitting. I don't have any other skills, so I just want to make a few more pennies."
After hearing this, Chu Yue took the sewing basket from Yun Cuihe's hand and put it on the table nearby.
"Mom, please listen to your advice. We are not short of money for one or two handkerchiefs now. We can only keep our eyes open to enjoy a good life in the future."
