Opening his eyes, he looked at Si Nian and suddenly cried: "Mom, my tooth hurts."
Si Nian took a breath and asked him to open his mouth. Sure enough, his gums were red, swollen and inflamed.
When Zhou Zedong heard the crying, he was immediately awakened and hurriedly sat up from the bed. His face turned pale when he heard his brother crying and complaining of pain.
"Mom, what's wrong with Xiaohan?"
Si Nian casually put a coat on Zhou Zehan, hugged him and stood up, saying, "Xiaohan has a fever. Xiaodong, please keep an eye on your sister at home. Mom will take him to the next team to have a look."
The first team has a small clinic, not big, with only one old Chinese medicine doctor.
But everyone in Xingfu Village ran there when they got sick.
Si Nian took a flashlight and tied it to the front of the bicycle, carried the child on the bicycle, and comforted: "Xiaohan, be good, it won't hurt after a while."
When Zhou Zehan was hit by the cold wind, he finally stopped crying, looked at Si Nian and said, "Mom, I didn't mean to lie to you. It doesn't hurt during the day."
Si Nian sighed, this silly boy.
It's now, is he still worried that he will blame him for saying things that don't hurt during the day?
Si Nian wiped the sweat from his head. Although he had gained some weight, he still looked thin and small, even smaller than his peers.
"Mom believes in you, but if you feel uncomfortable somewhere in the future, remember to tell mom in advance and don't hold it in yourself, you know?"
Zhou Zehan nodded with his eyes closed.
Si Nian was worried that he fell while sleeping, so while riding his bicycle, he looked for a topic and said, "Guess what good things mom bought you today."
Sure enough, the little guy, whose limbs were weak and whose eyelids were twitching, immediately became energetic. He leaned on her back and asked eagerly: "Did Mom buy me anything?"
"Of course, mom bought you some English books. Didn't you ask mom what kind of books they were reading? Mom bought some English books for you and your brother. Then she will teach you and your brother..."
After hearing what Si Nian said, the little boy's eyes lit up: "Mom, is it true? Then let's learn it tomorrow, okay?"
Si Nian nodded and said, "Okay, I will teach you when the teeth are taken care of."
The little boy nodded vigorously: "Mom, I will study hard."
In fact, Si Nian was quite afraid of walking at night, especially in rural areas where you couldn't even see a spark at night and there were mountains all around.
Normally, she would have been frightened to death.
But now, listening to the little boy's innocent voice, I felt that it wasn't that scary anymore.
When Zhou Yueshen got home, it was already very late.
Logically speaking, at this time, the family would already be asleep.
But today, he saw from a distance that the lights at home were still on.
He couldn't help frowning and speeding up his way home.
Sure enough, as soon as I got home, I saw my eldest son sitting on the sofa with a dull look on his face.
At a glance, I knew something was definitely wrong.
Zhou Yueshen frowned and asked, "Xiaodong, what's wrong?"
Zhou Zedong came to his senses and saw Zhou Yueshen back. His panic suddenly settled. He stood up quickly, wiped his tears and said, "Dad, my brother is sick. Mom is taking him to the first team to see a doctor. Hurry up." Go check it out.”
Zhou Yueshen's expression changed, and he immediately turned around and walked towards the door. After taking just two steps, he looked back at his son who was following him in a panic. He stood still and said comfortingly: "Don't be afraid, Xiaohan will be fine. You need to rest first. Dad goes to see it."
Zhou Zedong hurriedly shook his head and pulled his trouser leg, "Dad, I want to go too."
It's all his fault. If he hadn't realized the seriousness of the matter during the day and left his brother alone, his brother wouldn't have gotten sick.
At this moment, my mother took her brother to the hospital late at night.
Zhou Zedong fell into deep self-blame.
Zhou Yueshen took a deep look at his self-reproaching face, paused for a moment, and nodded in agreement.
Yaoyao usually sleeps soundly and rarely wakes up at night.
If I don't look at my child, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep all night.
Zhou Yueshen hugged him and got on the motorcycle, and the roar of the accelerator was particularly clear in the dark night.
Within ten minutes, the two of them arrived at the small clinic.
The lights in the small clinic are on.
In the past, it was common for children to have fever in the middle of the night in the village, and the old doctor had long been used to it.
When the two of them entered, Zhou Zehan was holding up his butt with tears in his eyes while he was getting an injection.
Si Nian hugged him with a slight smile in his eyes. In short, the situation was not that bad.
Zhou Yueshen's tense nerves relaxed, and when he looked at Si Nian's side face, a hint of emotion flashed in his eyes.
Si Nian heard the movement and glanced sideways.
I saw a father and son, one old and one young, who were in the dust.
"You're back." Si Nian spoke first, without blaming or complaining, just saying hello normally.
Zhou Yueshen was silent for a moment, then stepped forward and saw that she was wearing thin clothes and had slippers on her feet. He touched her head and said in a low voice, "Thank you for your hard work."
Si Nian shook his head and looked at Zhou Zedong with red eyes.
Zhou Zedong didn't dare to look into her eyes. He was afraid that Si Nian would blame him for not being obedient and keeping an eye on his sister at home, and for following his father here.
So when Si Nian stretched out his hand, he subconsciously closed his eyes.
The next second, he felt her warm hand fall on his head, and her unique gentle voice said: "Don't worry, my brother is fine."
He opened his eyes and looked at his boss with gentle eyes.
His eyes turned red unconsciously.
He blinked hard.
"Uncle Wang, how is the child?" Zhou Yueshen looked away and looked at the old doctor and asked.
Uncle Wang raised his reading glasses, pulled out the needle with one hand, pressed a cotton swab, and then said: "The little guy's teeth are changing when he grows up. Maybe it's because he keeps touching it with his hands, and the inflammation of the gums causes a fever. Just take some anti-inflammatory medicine and it will be fine." Go back and tell him not to touch it with your hands or touch it with your tongue, and it will grow back in two days."
Replacing teeth?
Zhou Yueshen took a deep look at his youngest son's guilty face, withdrew his gaze and nodded in agreement.
The medicine was prescribed and the family of four left the clinic.
The way back was all climbing, and Si Nian would definitely not be able to ride a bicycle at night.
The family of four huddled together and went home on their motorcycles.
Due to this delay, it was almost four o'clock when we returned.
Usually both children have to get up at five o'clock to clean up.
Zhou Yueshen simply asked the eldest brother to take two days off for his younger brother, and wait until the tooth heals before going to class.
The second child no longer has to go to class. He is bored at home. Half of his face is swollen and he still wants to learn English.
He also said that he would work hard quietly to amaze everyone.
Si Nian saw that he was so eager to learn, so he taught him 26 English letters and also taught him to sing English songs with 26 letters.
The little boy was very interested in this, and even when he had a toothache, he kept chanting it all day long.
When Zhou Zedong came back, he still pulled Zhou Zedong and said inarticulately: "Guo, I will sing you a song. You must have never heard it."
Zhou Zedong was a little confused, but seeing that the swelling on his brother's face had subsided, he let him go.
I saw him standing up straight, shaking his head and singing: "A, B, C, D, E, F, G..."
After singing, he took out his notebook and showed Zhou Zedong the crooked alphabet he had written. He pointed at the uppercase and lowercase letters and said, "Brother, look at this quickly. You don't want to read this one~ This one reads A. You can't believe it. This is what my mother taught me." Yes, it’s different from what the teacher taught..."
"Don't worry if you don't know how. I'll teach you. Come on, read with me: A~"
Zhou Zedong: "..."
