Chapter 259 Wu Damei's youngest son has a fever
He hastily put down the fire stick and hurried into the room.

"Why did you have a fever? Didn't you feel fine yesterday?" He asked his wife Wu Damei unhappily.

"You ask me, how do I know? This child has a cold and a fever. How can there be any certainty?" Seeing her husband entering the room, Wu Damei questioned her, and Wu Damei added new worries to her old anger. Even more angry.

"Okay, stop rambling, let's take him to see the old doctor quickly." Lu Zhengxiang didn't want to argue with her, he picked up the child and went straight to the old doctor's house in the village.

After Wu Damei hastily packed two diapers and a set of children's clothes, she followed her out the door.

The home of the old doctor by the big banyan tree. At the moment, he is wearing a pair of reading glasses and vigorously swinging a mercury thermometer.After he dropped the thermometer to 35 degrees, he handed it to Lu Zhengxiang and said, "Put it under the child's armpit for 5 minutes, and see how high the temperature is before we talk about it."

Lu Zhengxiang did as he did, and after putting the thermometer away, he asked the old doctor: "Is this child able to take medicine at such a young age? The three children in front of our family rarely get sick before their first birthday. I don't know what's going on with this little one. After only a month or so, I started to have a fever."

After hearing what he said, the old doctor glanced at him from the top of his reading glasses, and said: "It is said that children are less likely to get sick before six months, but it is not absolute, and every child's physique is different. Maybe the weather is cold now, you adults sleep soundly at night, and you didn’t notice that the child didn’t cover the quilt, so it’s easy to catch a cold and have a fever.”

What the old doctor said made Wu Damei bow her head in guilt. She quarreled with her husband last night, and because all she thought about was the angry words, she didn't take her youngest son into consideration at first.It wasn't until the middle of the night when she was about to get up to breastfeed her youngest son that she realized that the baby's quilt hadn't been covered properly.Thinking about it now, maybe the child caught a cold at that time last night.

"Okay, let's take it out and have a look, time is enough." After chatting for a while with Lu Zhengxiang without saying a word, the old doctor walked up to the child and asked Lu Zhengxiang to take out the thermometer.

Lu Zhengxiang put his hand under the child's armpit, carefully took out the thermometer, and handed it to the old doctor to read.

"38 degrees, it's considered a low fever. I'll prescribe some medicine for you to take home. You don't need to take it for now. If the fever exceeds 38.5 degrees, give him some antipyretics. If you keep this temperature, you can wipe him with warm water." Cool down." The old man glanced at the thermometer and instructed.

"Okay, so it depends on the situation to decide whether to take medicine, right?" Lu Zhengxiang was not well-educated, so he checked it again worriedly, for fear that he might hear or understand wrongly.

"I'm talking about antipyretics. If the temperature is higher, you can take some. Your child still has a runny nose. You can give him other medicines I prepared. Do you have a thermometer at home? If not, I will There is something to sell here." After the old doctor finished explaining, he added another sentence.

"We have a thermometer. There are so many children in this family, how can there be no such thing!" Wu Damei who was on the side saw the old doctor asking this, and quickly interrupted.She thought to herself, fortunately, she had it at home, otherwise she would have bought one more thing.In her opinion, the old man recommended things to them just to make money from them.

"Okay, as long as you have it. Then you can go back. The medicine fee is 3 yuan." After the old doctor finished speaking, he put the thermometer in a small iron box.

When Wu Damei heard the price, she immediately muttered unhappily, "Why is it so expensive, it costs 3 yuan to prescribe such a small amount of medicine!"

When the old man saw that she questioned his arbitrary charges, his face suddenly became ugly, and he said unhappily: "Damei, it seems that I have earned you a lot with just 3 yuan. We are all from the village. Can I charge you indiscriminately? If you go to that big hospital, you will not be charged dozens of dollars, and you still have to worry about me for this 3 yuan!"

"The machines in that big hospital check carefully..." Wu Damei said unconvinced.

"Then if you're worried, go to a big hospital. Anyway, that's what I'm paying for." The old doctor was very angry. He had never seen anyone like Wu Damei.

"Damei, what are you talking about! Go back with the child first, don't stay here and embarrass me!" Lu Zhengxiang called out to his wife loudly, and handed the child in his arms to her hand .

After Wu Damei held the child in her arms, she left the old doctor's house angrily.

After Lu Zhengxiang saw his wife left, he hurriedly apologized to the old man with a smiling face. He said: "She is just like that, with long hair but short knowledge, and a narrow mind. Don't be as knowledgeable as her."

The old man smiled, shook his head and said, "You wife is famous in the whole village for your mouth, I understand."

Lu Zhengxiang showed embarrassment, not to mention how awkward and uncomfortable he was after hearing this.After paying the old doctor's medical expenses, he took the newly prescribed medicine and left the old doctor's house, ready to go back to the chicken farm to start work.

At ten o'clock in the morning, when Lu Zhengxiang, who was already late, rushed to the chicken farm, Xiaosan and Ma Cheng had already killed the chicken that was going to be roasted today and were plucking it.

Since Lu Congjun saw that he hadn't come, on the one hand, he was worried that something happened to his family, and on the other hand, he was worried that the progress of the roast chicken production would be affected if he was missing, so he put aside other things and helped kill the chicken plucking.

"I'm sorry, I have something to do at home, but I was late." Lu Zhengxiang was panting and sweating when he trotted down the hill to the crowd.

"Uncle, what happened at home? Is it important?" Lu Congjun sat on the small bench, raised his head and asked him while plucking his hair.

"Uh, the youngest child suddenly had a fever this morning, and I took it to the old doctor to have a look before rushing here."

"Oh, is it better now?" Hearing that the youngest cousin had a fever, the new father Lu Congjun naturally became worried.Now he holds his child in his arms every day, and seeing him grow up little by little, he really loves him so much!It is not an exaggeration to use that sentence, "Keep it in your mouth for fear of melting, hold it in your hand for fear of falling." It is not an exaggeration at all.

When Lu Zhengxiang saw that he was late, his eldest nephew not only did not blame him, but asked with concern, his heart warmed involuntarily.He said emotionally: "It should be fine, the fever is not very high, and the old doctor also prescribed some medicine, and now your aunt is taking care of it at home."

Lu Congjun nodded, and said, "It's fine if it's not serious, but can Auntie Damei take care of her at home alone? Or I might as well give you a day off today, so you can go back and take good care of your little cousin with your auntie. "

"No, no, no need. How dare you ask for leave now? If you take one day off, you will lose one day's wages. It's better to go to work." Lu Zhengxiang waved his hands again and again, and smiled embarrassedly.

Ma Cheng on the side listened and said jokingly: "Zhengxiang, your three sons have to work hard to save money for their wives. In our village, if you have no money, you have to be an honorable old man like me. Bachelor, haha."

After Ma Cheng finished speaking, everyone also laughed cheerfully.

Lu Zhengxiang also smiled, but there was more bitterness and helplessness in his smile.
