Chapter 12 Sustenance

I didn't dare to look up at the face of the lady in the steamed bun shop, I was afraid that she would see my weakness, and at the same time, my heart felt a little guilty because of this request. I don't know how the lady of the bun shop will react to my request, whether it will be a polite refusal, or a surprise, or a ...... Agree?

The first thing I heard was a soft sigh, and then it was the gentle voice of the lady of the steamed bun shop.

"Don't worry, Auntie, I'll take care of her for a while. ”

She agreed, barely having time to hesitate.

When I heard the promise of the lady of the steamed bun shop, I was so excited that I couldn't believe my ears. Taking care of a baby who is not related to him is a difficult decision for anyone to make, but the lady of the bun shop did it. At this moment, I was really deeply shocked.

I even began to denounce in my heart the lies I had made up.

I slowly raised my head and stared at the kind and kind face in front of me, although it was not beautiful, and I was speechless for a while.

"Auntie...... Thank you so much. ”

"Oops, it's okay, it doesn't matter at all. You are so pitiful, how can Auntie refuse. And Auntie, I also like children. Hehe. With a warm smile at me, the lady of the steamed bun shop sighed for a while, "It's really hard for you." You're still in high school, aren't you?

"Auntie, I've just entered my first year of high school. ”

"I have a daughter who just graduated from high school in the first half of the year and went to college. After she left, the house was quite deserted, and I helped others take care of the children, which was just the right time to make this home lively. The lady of the bun shop said with a smile.

Then, she asked me about my name and family situation, and I basically told her the truth about everything except for my parents' relationship problems.

From the conversation, I also knew the name of this lady in the steamed bun shop, coincidentally, her surname is Bao, and her full name is Bao Juan.

From the conversation, I also vaguely learned that Aunt Bao Juan's husband works as a carpenter in other places, and she runs a steamed bun shop with her cousin.

Aunt Bao Juan told me that if I want to find her in the future, I will go directly to her steamed bun shop, and she will be there all day.

The conversation went on like this for a while, until Jiaqi's salt water was dripping. Seeing the bottomed saline bottle, I hurriedly pulled the bell again and asked the nurse to bring a bottle of saline for Jiaqi.

When the nurse changed Jiaqi's saline, I asked and knew that Jiaqi still had three bottles of saline.

Two of the bottles were glucose, and I remember the nurse saying to me, "This kid is very weak and a little malnourished." You need to hang more glucose water. ”

That afternoon, instead of going back to school, I stayed in the hospital.

During this period, I called my homeroom teacher, Mr. Tu, and said that I was hospitalized with a fever and needed to take two days off. Although it was a little sudden, Teacher Tu finally believed my words, as the head teacher, she asked me about my physical condition and asked me to recuperate, and strive to go to class as soon as possible.

At nearly 7 o'clock in the evening, Jiaqi hung up 4 bottles of saline, and at that time I asked the doctor to take her temperature again, and the result was 38.6 degrees, which was a little lower than in the morning, but it was still a high fever.

At around 7 o'clock, Aunt Bao Juan said that she helped me watch the children and asked me to go to dinner first. So I thanked her and went to eat a bowl of fried noodles outside the hospital, while I also went home to get the essentials such as bottles, milk powder and diapers.

That night, instead of taking Jiaqi home, I paid some hospitalization fees and spent the night in the hospital, because I was not sure that she would be in danger when I took Jiaqi home.

As for Aunt Bao Juan, she didn't go back, she said that I was still a child and couldn't take care of the child, so she also chose to stay in the hospital, first, to take care of the child she brought, and second, to help me take care of Jiaqi.

In addition, I also asked the attending doctor, and according to his words, Jiaqi's fever was so severe that she would have to hang on salt water for at least three days. That's when I knew I was going to have to spend all three days in the hospital.

At night, I slept on a bench in the ward, covered with the extra white quilt in the hospital. In his heart, he was worried about Jiaqi. Of course, Aunt Bao Juan also rushed to help me take care of Jiaqi several times that night, and I benefited a lot from Aunt Bao Juan's actions of taking care of Jiaqi, especially the actions of comforting the baby, compared with my jerky and clumsy movements and Aunt Bao Juan's skillful posture, it is really a small thing.

I really felt like a layman at that moment.

The first time I spent the night on the bench in the ward, I only felt that the bench in the ward was very hard and narrow, and there was not much room for curling up when the whole person was lying there, and the weather was a little cold, I didn't sleep well at all just covered with a white quilt, and I woke up several times at night.

When I woke up the next morning, I was in a bit of a trance, but Aunt Bao Juan was much better than me, maybe she was used to hard work from snacks, and she was not afraid to endure the cold.

But I really felt guilty at the time. I feel like I owe her a lot. Actually, she could have taken the baby home last night, but she stayed for my sake. This touched me very much, for her I am almost equivalent to an outsider, I can give so much help, I really can't forget.

For the next two days, I still didn't go to school and spent the whole time in the hospital.

Aunt Bao Juan's brother-in-law's son was discharged from the hospital on the second day of hospitalization, but Aunt Bao Juan still came to see me and Jiaqi several times from time to time. At the same time, she also asked me about my family situation and asked if my father and mother were reconciled. At that time, I could only shake my head and say that my mother still hadn't come home, and my father still didn't want Liu to keep Jiaqi.

Hearing my explanation, Aunt Bao Juan, she expressed her regret, but she also sympathized with me more, she said that she would find her if there was anything in the future, and as long as she could help, she would try to help me.

I had a sore nose at that time. I know that Aunt Bao Juan's financial situation is not very good, she is at the bottom of the society when she runs a steamed bun shop, and she is completely dependent on selling labor to make a living, but even so, she is still willing to help me, I think she is really great.

To this day, I still feel that Aunt Bao Juan is the person I owe the most.

On the evening of the third day, the little red rashes on Jiaqi's face also disappeared, and a small face became white and clear again, and the doctor measured Jiaqi's body temperature again, and the result was 36.8 degrees, which showed that Jiaqi finally had a fever.

At that moment, I literally almost jumped up and screamed.

In the past three days, I have been worried every day, restless, and deeply afraid that Jiaqi will have an accident, and even if the fever subsides, there will be sequelae, but when I learned that Jiaqi had a fever and was in good health, all my worries finally disappeared.

The doctor told me that Jiaqi's physical condition is very good, although there is a possibility of recurrence, but as long as you pay attention to keeping warm and give her more warm water, the possibility of recurrence is relatively small.

Although the doctor was a little surprised that Jiaqi's parents still did not show up until she was discharged from the hospital, he was more knowledgeable after all, and he didn't ask much, and finally told me the emergency treatment for the baby's fever.

These methods are nothing more than tips such as wiping down alcohol and feeding plenty of warm water.

In the end, the doctor cautiously told me that although Jiaqi had a fever, her constitution was still relatively weak, and Jiaqi was much weaker than other newborns, saying that she seemed to be a little malnourished.

Hearing the doctor's words, I immediately remembered that I had been able to feed her only once a day at noon for the past month. Generally speaking, babies are fed about 3 hours a day, but because of the time of my high school course, I was almost an hour or two late to feed Jiaqi, which inevitably caused Jiaqi to be hungry. Thinking about it this way, it is also my responsibility that Jiaqi will be malnourished.

The doctor told me that it is very important to breastfeed the baby on time, and also told me that it is best to have an adult to take care of the baby, otherwise if you are malnourished from an early age, you may grow up weak and sick.

I got some medicine lists, and after listening to the doctor's instructions, I thanked them, then I paid the money and left the hospital with Jiaqi in my arms.

In three days, I spent nearly 500 yuan on hospitalization, salt water and medicine. Feeling the money missing half of my pocket hurts a little.

Hey, it's really not easy to raise someone.

After leaving the hospital, I first went home.

After returning home, I immediately wiped Jiaqi's body and changed a new diaper, these days, although there was a change of diapers, but I have not bathed Jiaqi properly, the main reason is naturally considering that she is weak, afraid that the bath will be more cold. Of course, this time, I still didn't dare to bathe her, but just wiped her body with a hot towel, and then wrapped her in thick clothes without leaking a trace of wind.

After that, I turned on the electric blanket again and wrapped it around Jiaqi. Because of the experience of the previous car, this time I drove the electric blanket with the minimum power, and I calculated the time and planned to turn it off for a long time.

According to the doctor, Jiaqi should drink more warm water, so after feeding, I washed the bottle, changed it to warm water, and fed her little by little.

That night, fortunately, my father didn't come back, but I was really tired at the time, and I was so tired that I even thought that even if my father came back, I wouldn't take Jiaqi to the underground warehouse.

That night, I fell asleep as soon as I turned my head, and slept from 8 o'clock to more than 0 o'clock, only to be woken up by Jiaqi, who hurriedly fed her warm water, afraid that she would have a fever again.

After being busy for a while, I fell asleep again, and slept in a daze for three or four hours, and was woken up again, and took care of Jiaqi again, before falling asleep again.

This time, I slept until dawn.
