see you in spring

Chapter 43 A mess [-]

Because he shared a room with his child, Jia Lie did not dare to neglect, and quickly drank two glasses of water, hoping to determine whether his throat discomfort was caused by dry mouth or because he might also be infected. pain.

After drinking two glasses of water, my throat still felt uncomfortable.Looking at his daughter lying on the bed reading a book, Jia Lie's heart sank suddenly.

What would my daughter do if she was also infected?
She and Dongqing are in isolation and cannot go to the hospital.Even if you go to the hospital, there is overwhelming news now that the hospital's fever clinic is full, and there is no place to intervene. How to treat it?

Not sure if it was a psychological suggestion, she reached out to touch her forehead and found that the temperature was higher than usual.She quickly put on the mask and reached out to touch her daughter's forehead. Fortunately, her daughter's temperature was normal, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Donggua looked at her strangely: "Mom, why do you have to wear a mask in the room?"

"Mom's throat is a little uncomfortable. Don't get too close to her. By the way, Winter Melon, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

Donggua shook her head and looked at her with a pair of bright black eyes: "Mom, I'll finish my homework soon, can I play a mobile game for a while?"

Jia Lie wanted to say no, but Dongqing broke her promise yesterday when she said she would accompany her daughter today. To compensate her, Jia Lie nodded: "Yes, but you can only play for two and 10 minutes. And you have to do all your homework correctly before you can play." "

Little Winter Melon jumped up on the bed excitedly: "Don't worry, I will definitely do the right thing."

Jia Lie did not dare to have too much contact with her daughter. She walked to the door and said, "Write it yourself first, and be sure to check it carefully. Mom will prepare lunch first."

Donggua responded obediently and went to do her homework.

After leaving his room, as his throat became more and more uncomfortable, Jia Lie's uneasiness became more intense.

She panicked, and while repeatedly responding to the symptoms of COVID-[-], she became super sensitive to any discomfort in her body, but she still had to pretend to be calm, not daring to let Dongqing know, for fear that he would become even more panicked.

At this time, she needed a thermometer to determine whether she had a fever, but Dongqing broke the thermometer. Due to the Chinese New Year and the epidemic, it was impossible for the thermometer she ordered to be delivered on the same day.At this time, she felt that she could not wait any longer. She wanted to find a way to get a thermometer immediately.

She turned on her phone again and added a price increase online to the store owner in the same city who sold the thermometer, asking if they could deliver it to her door now.

During the holiday season, there are fewer people opening online stores. They either take orders first and ship them after the New Year. There is no shipment now, let alone door-to-door delivery.

This way didn't work, so Jia Lie turned to a second-hand store to buy a thermometer.Masks, disinfectants, and thermometers are all in hot demand at this time, and these items can never be found in second-hand stores.

Jia Lie didn't expect that a small thing that was usually inconspicuous would be worth a fortune at this time.

Dongqing, who was in the small room, heard Jia Lie's movements outside the living room and asked her what she was doing through the door.

Jia Lie didn't dare to tell him the situation, so he could only casually say that he was preparing lunch for his daughter.

Dongqing, who was wearing a down jacket and a thick hat, was cushioned by a quilt and covered with a down quilt. He stretched his head out of the quilt with difficulty and glanced at the clock on the wall. He was preparing lunch just after ten o'clock, which seemed a little bit... early.But considering that she doesn’t cook often, it’s understandable that she needs more time to prepare.

Dongqing told Jia Lie through the door: "My windows are all open, and the cold wind blows into the living room from the crack in the door. The living room is not warm either. Please wear more clothes to avoid catching a cold."

Jia Lie shuddered as he responded and glanced at the single clothes on his body. He had just left the room in a hurry and even forgot to add some clothes.

She blamed herself for being careless. If she really had a fever because of this, her intestines would really turn green.

Jia Lie put on the down jacket she had worn when going out, and then put on the shoes that covered her heels. She didn't know if it was because she was too sensitive or because she was really cold just now. She felt that her throat was really getting more and more painful.

Wearing a mask, she hurriedly scoured a small bowl of rice and cooked her daughter's lunch. She put two sausages on top of the uncooked rice and steamed an egg custard in the compartment, so that when the rice was cooked, there were also vegetables.

After doing this, she sat at the dinner table and did not dare to enter the room, fearing that if something went wrong with her, it would be transmitted to her daughter.

The most urgent task now is to get a thermometer quickly.

She opened WeChat and wanted to ask Han Guyu and Sun Yan if there was anything they could do. Suddenly her eyes caught a glimpse of the owners of the community.She usually ignored the information inside and never spoke in it. The reason why she joined the group was because the eldest sister downstairs forced her to join.

Now that she saw this group, she suddenly had an idea. Otherwise, she might ask the neighbors in the group, which one might have extra thermometers. Since they were in the same community, it was easy to give them away.

Just do it, she immediately sent a message in the group, asking anyone who had extra thermometers to sell one to her.

Several enthusiastic elder sisters in the group immediately came out to talk. A neighbor in the same building as her spoke up, saying that she had a spare one but not selling it, and asked her if she had any disinfectant or masks at home, which she could exchange for.

Masks and disinfectant are in short supply at any store at this time. Sun Yan previously said she would mail masks and disinfectant to her and Han Guyu, but it has been a few days and she has not received them yet.

Jia Lie immediately sent a message to Sun Yan, telling her about the situation here, and then asked her where the masks and disinfectant were.

Sun Yan was depressed because of Liu Quantao's affair, but during the epidemic, love seemed insignificant compared to human life.

She cheered up and comforted Jia Lie, saying, "Don't worry, I'll ask right away."

Sun Yan quickly sent a message to the person who ordered before, but the other party never replied.She couldn't wait, and called the number left by the other party, only to find that the other party's phone had been turned off.

At this time, Sun Yan didn't realize anything was wrong. She opened WeChat again and sent a long message to the other party, asking where the goods were shipped and asking the other party to take a screenshot of it.

Unexpectedly, the message was not sent at all, and the other party had already blocked her.

At this time, Sun Yan was shocked to realize that she had been deceived. The tens of thousands of dollars she had saved so hard, as well as Jia Lie's current hope, were gone.

Sun Yan, who had not been in contact with society for many years, did not expect that at such a critical moment, someone would cheat her out of such life-saving money.She hates, she is angry, and she is powerless.At this time, she had no other choice but to curse the liar and die miserably.
