The three of them had dinner and returned to the family home.
In the middle of the night, Yu Xiangnian heard something moving outside the house in his sleep. When he got up and opened the door, he saw Cheng Jingmo rummaging around in the main room, looking for something.
"What are you looking for in the middle of the night?" Yu Xiangnian asked in a daze.
"The medicine I bought a few days ago, Xiaojie has a fever."
"Did you take your temperature?"
"No measure."
Only then did Yu Xiangnian remember that there was no thermometer at home. She said, "I'll go in and take a look."
She walked into the room and saw Xiaojie's whole body covered tightly. Only one head was exposed, and his face was burning red.
She reached out and touched his forehead. She must have a high fever, the temperature was estimated to be around thirty-nine degrees.
Burned like this, still holding the quilt? !
She opened the quilt and saw that Xiaojie's neck was covered with sweat. When she touched it again, her clothes were half soaked with sweat.
She said to Cheng Jingmo who came in later: "Hurry and get a basin of warm water."
Cheng Jingmo said: "Just put the quilt on him and cover him with sweat."
"The child's fever is so high. He needs to cool down first. If you hold him like this again, his brain will be burned out!"
Cheng Jingmo murmured in his heart that if everyone had a fever, it would be better to just cover their body and sweat, but subconsciously he believed Yu Xiangnian, so he went to get a basin of warm water.
At this time, Yu Xiangnian had already taken off Xiaojie's clothes. She picked up the towel in the basin, squeezed out the water, and began to wipe Xiaojie's body.
"Cheng Jingmo, find a set of clothes and come out."
After wiping his whole body twice, Xiaojie's body temperature dropped a bit and he woke up, "Auntie, I have a headache and a sore throat."
"Open your mouth and let me see." Yu Xiangnian saw that both sides of Xiaojie's throat were red and swollen.
She comforted Xiaojie with a warm voice, "You have tonsil inflammation. Children often suffer from such diseases. Sore throat, headache, and fever are normal. Take some medicine and drink more water, and you will be fine in two days."
While Cheng Jingmo was dressing Xiaojie, Yu Xiangnian began to prepare the medicine.
It was said to be dispensing medicine, but in fact there were only two medicines at home, one was metamizole and the other was headache powder, which she bought at the health center that day.
She poured a large glass of warm water and asked Xiaojie to take half a pack of headache powder.
Xiaojie had a sore throat and refused to drink more water after taking the medicine. Yu Xiangnian said, "Drink this glass of water and I will tell you a story. How about it?"
"I want to hear two!"
"Okay, okay, two."
Xiaojie endured the pain and drank a large glass of water, and Yu Xiangnian began to talk.
"Once upon a time there was a little girl. She was bald and could only wear a red hat every day, so everyone called her Little Red Riding Hood."
"One day, Little Red Riding Hood went to deliver cakes to her grandma. When passing by the forest, she found a big bad wolf hiding in the grass. Little Red Riding Hood shouted angrily, Big Bad Wolf, I know it's you, give it to me Get out. The big bad wolf is scared away."
"Little Red Riding Hood was walking and saw the big bad wolf hiding in the grass again. Little Red Riding Hood said angrily, Big Bad Wolf, I know it's you, get out of here. The big bad wolf ran away again. . Little Red Riding Hood continued to walk forward and saw the big bad wolf hiding in the grass again. Little Red Riding Hood said what she just said again. "
"This time, the big bad wolf was not scared away. He jumped out of the grass and ate Little Red Riding Hood in one bite! Then he said that he could poop in peace now!"
After Yu Xiangnian finished speaking, he kept laughing to himself, while Xiaojie and Cheng Jingmo looked confused.
After a moment, the two of them started laughing too.
Then, Xiaojie curled his lips, "That's not what you said last time! What you said last time was that Little Red Riding Hood didn't like to take a bath and was very dirty. Everyone called her Cinderella. Cinderella had a stepmother who often beat her. She ran away secretly, disguised herself as a man and joined the army, becoming Hua Mulan later!"
"Huh?" Now Yu Xiangnian looked shocked.
In the first two days when she came here, in order to build a good relationship with Xiaojie, she told him a lot of stories. Anyway, she was just rambling and making things up, and she had forgotten everything she told!
Yu Xiangnian waved his hand and said: "This is not important. There are many versions of the story of Little Red Riding Hood. The last time I told you was the inspirational version, and today I'm telling you the funny version! Come on, let's go to the next story."
Yu Xiangnian thought for a while and told him a story about Snow White seriously, which lasted seven or eight minutes from beginning to end.
After finishing speaking, Xiaojie said with a sad face: "That's not what you said last time!"
"Huh?" Yu Xiangnian scratched his head and said, "What did I talk about last time?"
"Snow White's stepmother wanted to kill her, so she thought of a way to put an apple on Snow White's head. Whoever shoots the apple can marry Snow White. The first man shot the apple with an arrow, and he said , I'm Hou Yi, the second man shot the princess with an arrow, he said, I'm SOrry!"
Yu Xiangnian smiled "chichichi", "Oh! I have a good memory, and I still remember English."
She touched Xiaojie's forehead again, and the fever had temporarily subsided, "Okay, I'm done telling the two stories, you can go to bed."
Xiaojie lay down contentedly and fell asleep soon after.
Cheng Jingmo said: "Go to sleep, I will take care of him."
Yu Xiangnian yawned, "He has acute tonsillitis. Before the inflammation goes away, he will have repeated fevers. It is possible that he will have a fever again in three or four hours. Don't cover him. He has a fever. It is necessary to dissipate heat when the fever subsides, and then cover yourself with a quilt to keep warm.”
"If he has a fever again, use the method I just used to cool him down and give him medicine again. I don't have anti-inflammatory medicine at home. I'll take him to the health center for an injection tomorrow morning."
After Yu Xiangnian finished speaking, he went back to his room to sleep.
Cheng Jingmo adopted a child himself, and he had to learn how to take care of a sick child.
Cheng Jingmo worked hard for most of the night and had no sleep at all.
What Yu Xiangnian said just now made him feel at ease.
Xiaojie had had a fever before. He just gave Xiaojie a piece of metamizole and covered him with the quilt to sweat.
But what Yu Xiangnian did just now was to dissipate heat, and he also said that it was not safe to eat as little metamizole as possible.
This is the first time he has heard this statement. Everyone who has a headache or fever takes this medicine, and the effect is quite good.
Besides, he couldn't tell those stories.
Thinking of the two stories just now, I couldn't help but laugh.
What kind of stories are these? They are really deceiving children!
Sure enough, as Yu Xiangnian expected, Xiaojie had a fever again in the middle of the night.
Cheng Jingmo followed Yu Xiangnian's instructions and wiped his body with warm water, changed his clothes and took medicine.
When Yu Xiangnian woke up, Cheng Jingmo was no longer at home, and the breakfast he had brought from the cafeteria was heating up on the briquette stove.
She went to Xiaojie's room and saw that Xiaojie was still sleeping soundly.
When he woke up, the two of them had breakfast and went to the health center.
