TRANSMIGRATED TO THE 80S TO BECOME STEPMOTHERS FOR FIVE HIGHER-UPS

Chapter 247: Xiao Wu Falls Sick

The moment the old osteopath arrived, he scolded Zhao Lan. After preparing for a while, he finally helped reset his sprained bones. Before he started, he told Shao Qiyun. “It will be very painful. Be patient with it.”

Shao Qiyun thought that since she had given birth before, no matter how painful it was, it couldn't possibly be as painful as giving birth.

It was not wrong to think that way, but Shao Qiyun did not think it would be so painful that she almost died from that pain. Shao Qiyun shouted incessantly, to such an extent that the old osteopath could not focus, so he casually stuffed the smelly socks of Mu Jingzhe back into his mouth.

“Hold.”

When his limbs were in position again, it seemed like Shao Qiyun had just been lifted from the water. It was no longer clear whether the moisture on her was because she had been pulled out of the water barrel or whether it was due to sweat from the pain.

However, he was not the only one who suffered.

Although Xiao Wu seemed comforted, it was not easy. That night, Xiao Wu fell ill and had a fever.

Since he was not in good shape, he did not have any sense of security and relied on Mu Jingzhe. Therefore, Mu Jingzhe made an exception and slept with her and Little Bei. After much difficulty, she finally persuaded him to sleep by singing and telling stories. In the end, he still fell ill from a fever in the middle of the night.

The fever jumped to 38.6 degrees Celsius. Since he had gained some experience in the past year, Mu Jingzhe did not rush to bring Xiao Wu to the hospital. He first gave her the fever medicine for the children and continued to hug and persuade her to give him a sense of security.

Despite fighting until midnight, Xiao Wu's fever finally subsided. However, due to his high fever, the next day he was lethargic.

In the past, Shao Qiyun had avoided Xiao Wu because she did not want to see him. Now, it was Xiao Wu's turn to avoid Shao Qiyun. Since he could hear Shao Qiyun's voice next door, Xiao Wu was not even willing to go to the courtyard.

This was the first time he felt so disgusted by someone.

Although Xiao Wu was lethargic, he became more and more obedient. He approves of whatever is asked of him and continues to eat and drink when asked to do so. As Shao Dong and the others teased her, wanting to make her happier, her smile became wider.

However, his cooperation and obedience made people feel sad. Then, no one teased him anymore and they gave him space.

Nothing happens during the day. He seemed to have gotten better, but at night, Xiao Jiu had a fever again. This time it's worse than last night. His fever reached 39 degrees Celsius, even several times vomiting. He was covered in cold sweat.

"What should we do?" Shao Qihai was worried about him from the previous night, but Mu Jingzhe was calm. At least, he was relatively calmer. However, when he saw Xiao Wu vomit, he was a little scared.

"Let's take him to the hospital first." Mu Jingzhe wrapped Xiao Wu in a blanket and carried her away. Shao Qihai quickly offered to carry her, but since Xiao Wu was unwell and feeling uncomfortable, he deliberately, unlike his usual self, did not like him, and insisted that Mu Jingzhe carry her instead of Shao Qihai.

As he was on Shao Qihai's back, he cried and shouted to his mother.

This is how kids. When they are sick and feel uncomfortable, they only want people who are usually close to them. It does not occur to them if the adults are tired. They just want someone they have acknowledged. Only then will they feel a sense of security.

Mu Jingzhe had seen many children who only wanted their mother in the past. Their mother's back would be covered in sweat, and her arms would break from carrying her, but the child did not want their father. It can only be difficult for their mother.

Fortunately, he is strong. Otherwise, she would feel heartache, relief, and fatigue, just like the other mothers.

“It's okay, I'll carry it. I'm used to carrying it.” Mu Jingzhe picked up Xiao Wu and carried her on his back before staring at Shao Dong. “Little Dong, you and Young Uncle will stay at home and guard the house. Take care of your sisters.”

Shao Qiyang also got up. “I'll take care of them. Don't worry, just go.”

"Yes." Yeah." Shao Dong nodded. "Mom, hurry up and go."

However, the range of the flashlight is limited, and it is not safe to cycle at night. Since Shao Qihai's bike had been sent for treatment, Mu Jingzhe and Shao Qihai could only rush to the city hospital on foot.

Mu Jingzhe was very familiar with this path, even at night. This was because he had walked this path at night several times before. As he moved there, he ran all this way through the night.

Mu Jingzhe felt Xiao Wu getting hotter on his back, and he became even more anxious. Due to his swift pace, it was inevitable that he would pant.

Shao Qihai followed him, trying his best to light the path ahead for Mu Jingzhe. As he listened to the woman panting, he was annoyed that the car was not there when he wanted to use it. He continued to offer to carry Xiao Wu.

However, Xiao Wu did not want to. "It's okay. I'll take him. I'm used to.”

Children have poor immune systems, and it is inevitable that they will experience occasional headaches and fevers. Lately, Mu Jingzhe often took the children to the city hospital in the middle of the night. Many old people in the village are experiencing this. As long as the kids get sick, they have to take it there no matter what.

After saying that, Mu Jingzhe continued walking forward. It was just a casual remark, but Shao Qihai felt very conflicted upon hearing it.

He said he was used to it. He always said that he was strong, so he didn't seem to mind doing any of this.

However, just because he was strong, did not mean that he would not be tired, especially when traveling like this.

Shao Qihai and Mu Jingzhe took the shortest time to rush to the city hospital. When they arrived, Mu Jingzhe was already sweating.

The old doctor at the hospital was used to receiving patients to come at night, so he quickly woke up. He saw and, after hearing about the situation, said that there were many reasons children had fevers and vomiting. It may also be the result of a bad mood or fear. Ultimately, human emotions actually have a huge impact on a person's health.

The old doctor quickly prescribed the medicine. As he prescribed it, he chatted with Mu Jingzhe for a bit. She often came because she had five children, so the doctor and Mu Jingzhe became acquainted.

Looking at Mu Jingzhe and then at Shao Qihai, the old doctor handed over the prescription and said solemnly, "Don't let your woman suffer." The old doctor had seen too many fickle human traits.

Shao Qihai felt ashamed when he heard that. He glanced at Mu Jingzhe and felt ashamed as well. Mu Jingzhe quickly said, "Actually, it's because the child just wants me."

"That's because he doesn't treat the kids well enough." The old doctor could only glare. "Hurry up and get an injection." He has seen many fathers like this.

While Shao Qihai paid for the medicine and looked for a nurse to inject, Mu Jingzhe only needed to hold Xiao Wu and wait.

But he just sweated. After sitting for a while and calming down, when the wind blew, he felt a chill run down his spine.

When Shao Qihai arrived at the injection room, he saw Mu Jingzhe trembling. He quickly took off his boss and covered it up. "You don't want to catch a cold." He's a little upset. Next time, he would not only bring extra clothes for Xiao Wu, but he would also bring extra clothes for the adults.

"I'm doing fine. You yourself should not catch a cold.” Mu Jingzhe's first reaction was to refuse.

“I won't do it. You're the one who shouldn't catch a cold. ” Rarely is Shao Qihai so unyielding. He did not let Mu Jingzhe remove it. “I used to camp and train in the middle of the night. I won't catch a cold.”

Mu Jingzhe wanted to say something but hesitated. He thought, 'That was first. Now, your body is like a punctured balloon.'

In the end, he had to borrow a blanket from the nurse to solve this problem.

After being injected, Xiao Wu's fever finally subsided and he stopped vomiting. The main reason was that he could not vomit anymore. He slept well, but he still had to get another shot later.
