Gu Mengmeng's mild cold turned into a severe cold.
That day, she was eating with the old couple at Kang's house. Aunt Wu didn't know she had a cold, so she made spicy and delicious boiled fish. She was embarrassed to refuse Aunt Wu's kindness, so she ate half of the pot, but she didn't expect to put down her chopsticks.
Her throat started to hurt, her nose was blocked, and her coughing became more severe. Commander Kang and Aunt Wu were frightened and quickly took her temperature, which was red in the face. They found that her fever reached 39 degrees. The anxious Commander Kang sent her to the hospital.
Che took Gu Mengmeng to the hospital. Aunt Wu was originally going to come with Che and Commander Kang, but for some unknown reason He Shanyun ended up accompanying him.
After the doctor did a simple examination, he asked her to get wet immediately.
Just after the Spring Festival, there were still very few patients in the observation room. Gu Mengmeng, who was lying on the hospital bed, was still wheezing and coughing. In the end, she wanted to cough her lungs out. She was the only one in the quiet room.
He patted his chest with a painful expression and found it difficult to breathe.
Commander Kang, who was in poor health, went to the outpatient clinic building in front to get her medicine. Sitting next to Gu Mengmeng was He Shanyun.
She watched Gu Mengmeng struggle to hold up a smile on her face, and said to her: "Mom, I'm fine. Just give her a few injections."
He Shanyun said nothing, but there was a hint of regret in his eyes.
She took warm water from the water dispenser, leaned down and helped Gu Mengmeng up, "Drink some water and don't talk."
Gu Mengmeng was dizzy with fever and had a splitting headache, but she still felt the slightest throb in her heart from He Shanyun's sudden concern. She drank the water obediently, and couldn't help but hold it with her fingers when she lay down.
He touched He Shanyun's sleeves and said with a confused expression on his burning red face: "Mom, mom... you're right here, okay?"
He Shanyun was stunned.
She had never experienced this kind of tenderness and naivety of a little daughter who was obsessed with her mother. Each of the two boys in the family was more independent than the other. It seemed that they had never taken the initiative to express their affection for her since they were sensible.
Now Gu Mengmeng has no scruples and expresses her attachment to her regardless of past grudges.
What should she do?
Push her hand away, or...
He Shanyun stood there and let her hold him tightly. After a long time, He Shanyun sighed slightly, held Gu Mengmeng's hot hand, and sat down next to her.
"Get some sleep if you can. Look at how thin you are. It's no wonder that we don't care about you when Ah Wei comes back."
Gu Mengmeng groaned and closed her eyes obediently. Her face pressed against the back of He Shanyun's hand, rubbing it from time to time. Just like her mother was by her side when she was sick as a child, she became extremely attached to this rare warmth and joy.
But she was really seriously ill.
I hung up the water all night, but the fever still wouldn't go away.
The next day, Commander Kang at home asked for leave from the newspaper office, and Aunt Wu went to the hospital to replace He Shanyun, who had been accompanying him all night, and went home to rest.
Gu Mengmeng fell into a drowsy state, sometimes awake and sometimes confused. She refused to eat and pushed aside the nutritious soup pot that Aunt Wu had prepared carefully.
"I won't eat!...Cough cough...cough cough cough..." She pursed her lips stubbornly and bared her teeth willfully at the helpless Aunt Wu.
Aunt Wu couldn't help but feel funny and angry even though she felt distressed.
I thought to myself, this is the hidden temper of the eldest lady of the Gu family.
It seems that she needs to be more patient.
He picked up the small bowl again, filled it with a spoon and encouraged her to drink the soup.
"Mengmeng, come on! Open your mouth and be good... Come on, Aunt Wu will feed you."
"Uh...poof!" She spit out the soup she drank in her mouth and sprinkled it on the clean sheets. Gu Mengmeng was stunned subconsciously, and then started to choke and cough again. After a thrilling cough
, she finally got tired and flopped down on the pillow to sleep. Aunt Wu took the thermometer and took a test. She looked at the scale on the thermometer that showed that the fever was still high, and she couldn't help but feel deeply worried.
Seeing Gu Mengmeng sleeping soundly, she couldn't help but sigh, drank the remaining soup by herself, and then closed the lunch box tightly to see if she could feed Gu Mengmeng more.
At this time, Gu Mengmeng's cell phone, which was placed next to the pillow of the hospital bed, started singing happily.
Aunt Wu picked it up in a hurry, and after searching for a long time she found the small green phone and pressed it.
The other party was an older man with a steady voice. He asked: "Mengmeng?"
Aunt Wu replied in a low voice: "No, I am her Aunt Wu... Oh no, I am Aunt Wu, her husband's servant."
The other party said oh and asked again: "Is Mengmeng not here? I am her father's... colleague and I have something to do with her."
Aunt Wu looked at Gu Mengmeng who had finally fallen asleep on the hospital bed with embarrassment, and refused: "I'm afraid you can't talk to her anymore. She is very ill and just fell asleep."
The other party let out a sigh and said nervously: "Does it matter? Which hospital is it at?"
Aunt Wu remembered Commander Kang's advice not to allow irrelevant people to disturb Gu Mengmeng's recovery, and she answered cautiously: "This is a secret."
The other party was made to laugh and cry, but there was nothing he could do about this stubborn old lady.
"Okay, I won't bother you. But you must remember to ask Mengmeng to call her father when she wakes up. My surname is Su, Mengmeng's Uncle Su. She will know as soon as you tell her."
"Okay, I'll tell you this."
Aunt Wu hung up the phone, worried about Gu Mengmeng, and ran out to ask the doctor to come and take a look again.
The doctor had a big head when he saw Aunt Wu. This old man has been pestering him these past few days. The patient's illness requires time to transition and patient rest, and it cannot return to normal in a day or two.
"Doctor, I beg you, go and have a look. That girl won't eat! I'm worried to death."
"The liquid she received contains nutrients necessary for the body. She will be fine if she doesn't eat for a few days. What's more, she is in the middle of an attack of bronchitis. She won't stop coughing and will vomit it out after eating it. Don't force it.
"The doctor was also helpless.
"No, you have to go and have a look."
"Okay, okay, I'll go take a look with you."
After seeing it, the doctor said it was normal and he should stay calm.
In this way, the condition lasted for 2 or 3 days without any sign of improvement. On the afternoon of the third day, He Shanyun was peeling pears for Gu Mengmeng in the ward, when the door was suddenly pushed open.
"Mom...how is Mengmeng doing!"
A tall and handsome major officer in military uniform walked in quickly.
