see you in spring

Chapter 31 Misfortunes never come singly II

Jia Lie's mind went crazy, and after a few seconds, he quickly calmed down.

"Which hospital has the old man been sent to now?"

"The First Hospital of the City."

"How is the injury?"

"We won't know until we send him to the hospital for examination. You can go and see for yourself." The other party was a little impatient.

"Okay, thank you. I'll let the family members come over in a moment."

Just as the other party was about to hang up, Jia Lie suddenly asked, "What is your police number?"

The person on the other end paused and reported a series of numbers.

"Thank you."

After hanging up the phone, Jia Lie used his laptop to quickly search for the phone number of the Jianshui Bureau mentioned by the other party, and then called to ask if there was really such a warning signal.Now during the Chinese New Year, there are too many tricks used by scammers. She and Dongqing are more than 1000 kilometers away, so these things have to be investigated.

When it was confirmed on the phone that the police officer was there, Jia Lie's heart sank: It seems that something has really happened to the old man.

Jia Lie walked around anxiously in the room, hesitating whether to tell Dongqing about this.Now that she and Dongqing are quarantined at home, it is unrealistic to buy tickets to go home.Besides, Dongqing needs a good rest now to improve her immunity. If she tells him about this, she will definitely have trouble sleeping and eating given Dongqing's temperament.

Thinking that Dongqing would not be able to help her old father after knowing about it, and her own body immunity would not improve, Jia Lie decided to hide the matter first and not tell Dongqing.

Both Jia Lie and Dongqing are from the same province, but Jia Lie’s family is in the provincial capital, while Dongqing lives in Hecheng, the farthest city. Between the two cities, it takes more than seven hours by train. My home is not close to the airport. Including the time spent waiting for the flight and traveling to and from the airport, it is actually about the same as taking a train.So every time during the limited holidays, they can only choose to return to your home for the National Day, and return to my home for the Spring Festival. This way of returning to each other's home for the New Year in turn solves the problem of distance.

Holly is an only child and has no other siblings.And Jia Lie has a younger sister who stays in his hometown to work.

At this time, the benefits of having one more child become apparent.

Jia Lie immediately called his sister and asked her to go to Hecheng to check on the old man.Jia Lie's brother-in-law is also from Hecheng, and his sister and brother-in-law usually work in the provincial capital.During the Chinese New Year and the holidays, the young couple returned to Hecheng to spend time with their brother-in-law's parents.

She knew that today was New Year's Eve and everyone was having a reunion dinner. It was a bit too much for her to ask her sister to take care of Dongqing's father, but she had no one else to turn to. At this time, she could only rely on her own relatives.

After calling his sister to explain the situation, Jia Lie transferred another 1 yuan to her.The perpetrator has escaped. Until he is caught, he will have to pay for the medical expenses himself.Fortunately, the old man had medical insurance, so she spent the remaining money on hand first, and if it was not enough, she would think of another way.

After finishing these contacts, Jia Lie sat on the edge of the bed with a layer of sweat on his body.

If she had only supported the family's finances before, at this moment, she knew what it was like for a woman to support everything.

Without Dongqing, she would have to face not only financial pressure, but also the education of adolescent children, support for the elderly who are thousands of miles away, and the fierce competition in the workplace.

Jia Lie trembled and thought silently: Dongqing, for the sake of this family, you must get well.

Holly slept for more than four hours without being disturbed, and slept straight into the evening.

On the evening of New Year's Eve, thousands of houses are lit up with lights and the sound of firecrackers is much less than in previous years, but it can still be vaguely heard.

When he woke up, the edge of his pillow was soaked with sweat and the bed was wet, but his mind was much clearer.

Dongqing slowly stood up, took some dry clothes from the closet, put them on, and then picked up the thermometer to measure his temperature. When he saw that it showed 36.8℃, Dongqing's heart dropped. He didn't know that the anti-inflammatory medicine had taken effect. The effect is that antipyretics and anti-inflammatory drugs work together.In short, it's a good thing that the fever is gone.

He picked up the phone and was about to call Jia Lie when he found that the phone had automatically turned off.He went to the door and took the charger that Jia Lie gave him at the door. There was a thermos bottle next to it.

Dongqing glanced at the empty living room and wondered if the two of them had had dinner. This New Year's Eve dinner was destined to be a bad one.

He didn't dare to open the door for too long, after all, his body temperature had not yet returned to normal.Taking the charger and thermos bottle and closing the door, Holly plugged in the power and poured herself a cup of hot water.

After one cup, all the pores on her body seemed to be opened, and fine sweat poured out from countless pores. Dongqing immediately felt much lighter.

He stood up and stretched a few times. He obviously felt that his mental state was much better. He couldn't help but pick up the thermometer and measured it again. It was 36.6 degrees Celsius. He didn't expect that the temperature dropped by 0.2 degrees after drinking a cup of hot water and sweating a little. Looking at Dongqing was overjoyed and relieved that her body temperature had returned to normal. She picked up the phone and called Jia Lie immediately, wanting to tell her as soon as possible that her fever was finally gone!
Unexpectedly, after calling several times, Jia Lie's phone was always on the line. Dongqing looked at the time and saw that it was the time for the New Year's Eve dinner. Jia Lie was probably calling his relatives and friends to wish him a happy New Year.

Dongqing held back her excitement, looked at her cell phone which had just been charged 5.00%, and decided to wait.

Since Jia Lie found out that Dongqing's father was hospitalized, he had been calling to make connections.Check to see if any of your former high school classmates work in Hecheng Hospital, and ask acquaintances to take care of your father-in-law.

After my sister went to the hospital, she called her and said that the old man had woken up and had injured his leg after being hit by a car. His calf was fractured.In addition, he hit his head when he fell and suffered a concussion. It seems now that he is not sure what the sequelae will be.Fortunately, the old man was in good health. Except for the occasional high blood pressure, he had no major problems, so he was lucky among misfortunes.

Finally, the old girl said to her: "Why don't you ask your brother-in-law to go home? It should be easier to buy a ticket now. After all, the old man is old and fell on his head again. It seems like nothing is wrong now, but what if something happens? , if his biological son is not here..."

Jia Lie was afraid that his family would be worried, so he didn't tell anyone that he was in quarantine before. He only said that he didn't buy a bus ticket and wouldn't go home this year, so his sister didn't know that she and Dongqing were currently in quarantine.

Of course Jia Lie understands what the old girl means. Why doesn't she want Dongqing to go back?But they don't dare to go out now.If they had been infected by Liu Quantao at this time, they might have infected many people all the way back to Su City.They are already victims and can no longer be the source of infection.
