Chen Lishu quickly stepped forward to check the situation. When she saw the child's flushed cheeks, she reached out and touched her forehead. The temperature was so hot that she subconsciously shrank her hand.
"Quick, Zhang Xue, help me put the child on my back, let's take the child to the hospital quickly." A child's fever and convulsions are no joke.
"Oh, okay." Just as Zhang Xue was about to make a move, a man next to him came over and picked up the child: "There is a hospital nearby. If the child is too heavy, I should do it."
Soon everyone sent the child to the hospital. When the doctor saw the child's condition, he frowned.
"How did you adults manage a child with such a high fever?"
"He never said anything before, so I thought it wasn't that serious." Zhang Qiaoyun added bitterly.
"What medicines have you taken before? Have you ever had a similar situation? Are you allergic to any medicines?" In this case, the child has no time to do an allergy test and must be infused immediately.
Ever since Ruirui was sent to their welfare home, she usually had headaches and fever, so she only took some metamizole. If it was serious, she would take some Diazepam. When the doctor asked Zhang Qiaoyun, she really didn't know how to answer.
"Doctor, my child had a similar situation in May this year. At that time, the doctor gave me penicillin and an antipyretic medicine." Chen Lishu did not dare to delay and quickly told what she knew.
From the moment Zhang Qiaoyun called out Ruirui, Chen Lishu had already remembered that the little boy in front of her was none other than the little Ruirui she had rescued from the human traffickers before.
The doctor nodded after hearing her words, turned around and began to tell the nurse to prepare the medicine.
After Xiao Ruirui received the anti-fever injection and was given the fluid, her symptoms were significantly relieved.
"It's two yuan and forty cents in total. The family members need to pay the fee." A nurse opened the door and came in to tell them to pay.
Chen Lishu glanced around and realized that Zhang Qiaoyun, who had been guarding the bedside before, was no longer there at some point.
After telling Zhang Xue to ask her to take care of the child, Chen Lishu got up and went downstairs with the nurse to pay the fee.
When I came back, I found that Xiao Ruirui was already awake on the bed, blinking at Chen Lishu with eyes like black grapes after the rain.
"How do you feel? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" Chen Lishu sat on the edge of the bed and reached out to touch his forehead. Although it was still hot, it was no longer as hot as before.
"Thank you, auntie." No one had ever spoken to him so gently. Xiao Ruirui looked at Zhang Xue, then at Chen Lishu, and whispered in a childish voice.
"Why are you in the mall? Mother Zhang took you there? Does she know that you have a fever and are sick?"
Xiao Ruirui's eyes dimmed for a moment.
"Mother Zhang said it was because of me that the other children couldn't have enough to eat, so she asked me to ask everyone for money, but it was too cold, so I couldn't help myself and went inside."
"On this cold day, if a child of his age is asked to wear such thin clothes to beg, their consciences will be eaten by dogs!" Zhang Xue was heartbroken after hearing Ruirui's words.
"Comrade, you have misunderstood. There is nothing we can do about it."
Suddenly a woman in her fifties came in at the door. When she came closer, she thanked the two of them first, then touched Ruirui's forehead, and then sighed and said: "My surname is Zhu, and I am the director of Xiangyang Welfare Home.
, there are a total of more than twenty children in our hospital, and the money allocated every year from above is not enough to do anything. In addition, Ruirui is not in good health, and no one is willing to adopt them..."
Chen Lishu looked at Dean Zhu and said, "Dean Zhu, I don't think this is an excuse for you to let your children with fever beg on the street in this cold weather, right?"
"Why are you blaming us here when you don't know anything? We can't ignore other children just because of him, right?"
Zhang Qiaoyun came in from the door, followed by two seven or eight-year-old girls, also wearing thin clothes and many patches on their bodies, standing next to Zhang Qiaoyun with shrinking eyes.
"There is indeed something wrong with Comrade Zhang, but our welfare home cannot make ends meet every year, and most people prefer boys over girls. They will abandon girls as soon as they are born, but there are very few people who want to adopt them. We
There is no other way, other than using bigger cardboard boxes to stick envelopes on, and the younger ones can only come out and try to beg for some food."
Chen Lishu and Zhang Xue were somewhat silent for a moment when they heard Dean Zhu's words.
"That Ruirui?"
Dean Zhu saw her soft-heartedness and shook his head helplessly: "We can only hope that he can find a good family. There are two children with congenital disabilities in the hospital. We are really unable to do what we can."
Chen Lishu looked at Rui Rui on the bed, and then at the two girls at the door. She wanted to adopt Rui Rui, but after all, this was a child, unlike kittens and puppies. If you don't like them or get tired of them, you can give them away.
, if you decide to adopt Ruirui, you will definitely be responsible for him for the rest of your life.
Besides, adopting a child is not her business alone. She now has a family and must consider Gu Xingdong's feelings.
"Buy some thick clothes for the children." Although she knew that it was better to help the urgent than to help the poor, in the end Chen Lishu left fifty yuan to Dean Zhu and left with Zhang Xue.
The gloomy sky outside began to snowflakes again, and the snow on the ground made a crunching sound underfoot.
"Hey, why do you think people are like this nowadays? If they can give birth, why can't they raise them? If they can't raise them, why should they give birth in the first place? Why do they suffer in this world for nothing?"
Chen Lishu pursed her lips. Thinking of Xiao Ruirui's childish and innocent eyes, her heart seemed to be stuffed with a ball of cotton, making her feel uncomfortable.
It was she who rescued him from the traffickers, but now she couldn't protect him.
The two of them went all the way back to school. After getting off the bus, they did not go directly to the school gate. Instead, they went to the house that Zhang Xue asked about that could make cotton-padded clothes. Cotton-padded jackets and trousers cost two yuan. The two of them put their things down first and waited until they picked up the clothes.
Pay later.
…
"Sister, don't worry. I already know I was wrong. I promise that I will never have anything to do with anyone named Lu again. Besides, in such a cold weather, are you willing to let my nephew come out? What if he catches a cold?"
After imprisoning Lin Xiaohui for a few days, Lin Xiaoyue decided to let her go to work. After all, if she took too long a holiday, her job would no longer be guaranteed.
But she still didn't let down her guard. For the past two days, she carried the baby and sent her there, and then picked her up again.
Since it snowed outside, the roads were slippery, and Lin Xiaoyue was really worried about tossing her children.
Now that I heard Lin Xiaohui's assurance and saw that she had really calmed down these past few days, I thought about it and nodded in agreement.
"The person surnamed Lu is really not someone you can trust for life. You have a job and are young and beautiful. If you really want to find an employee with an urban household registration, I will definitely drag someone to introduce you to a better one."
Lin Xiaohui nodded: "Sister, I understand." After saying that, she put on her hat and scarf and went out.
