Chapter 50: Forty-One Degrees of Horror
Yang Yang followed us back from the picnic, and he coughed intermittently, I think he drank cold drinks in the mountains, and I thought it didn't matter, it would be fine in a few days. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info So after I let him take two small spoonfuls of Chinese medicine every day, I sent him to kindergarten. But on the morning of the third day, Yang Yang refused to get up, and at first I didn't care about him, and only after I had made breakfast, wiped the floor, and cleaned up the house briefly, did I go into his small bedroom to see him. I saw Yang Yang lying quietly on the bed, suddenly losing his former vitality, his face was flushed, his eyes seemed to be closed, and he looked confused. I touched his forehead with my hand, and my heart was shocked, it was so hot! Yangyang was having a fever! But at this time, I still didn't think about sending Yangyang to the hospital, but found a small bag of pediatric cold powder for him to take, and then prepared to send him to his grandmother's house, I thought he was just a common cold, and it would be fine to rest at home for two days. Lu Tao left early today, and I still have some urgent work to deal with in the unit, so I can only send him to my grandmother's house.
Yangyang didn't eat, saying that he didn't want to eat, and I thought it would be okay to wait for him to go to his grandmother's house. Seeing that the time was not early, I hurriedly dressed him, carried him out of bed, and then turned around to get my coat, but when I also got dressed, turned around and was about to carry him out, but I couldn't see him!
"Yangyang, what's wrong with you?" I was frightened and quickly picked up Yangyang and carried him to the bed.
"Mom!" Yang Yang looked at me with a pair of misty eyes, and only called out to his mother and didn't speak again.
Seeing that Yangyang Station couldn't stand, I thought that Yangyang must be burning badly, so I began to look for thermometers all over the house, not on the coffee table, not in the TV cabinet, in the wardrobe, in the bedside table, I couldn't find it all over! I was in a hurry! I hurriedly went out and knocked on the door of Guo Mei's house, borrowed her thermometer and put it under Yangyang's armpit, waited patiently for five minutes, and then took it out and looked, oh my God, forty-one degrees! I immediately ran to the telephone and dialed Lu Tao's pager, but when I walked back and forth on the ground several times, he didn't call back! What should I do? Take a taxi to the hospital!
When I took Yangyang out of the door, Guo Mei and his family had just come out of the house, Guo Mei saw my panicked appearance and asked me, "How is it?
"Yes, forty-one hours!" I said as I hugged Yang Yang and walked quickly downstairs.
When I came to the door of the community, a taxi could not be seen, which made me anxious again, I quickly asked Guo Mei and his family, who came out with me to open the store, to help me find a taxi around, but after five or six minutes, the taxi has not yet come. What is going on today? The taxi drivers are on strike? Just when I was in a hurry and didn't know what to do, the returning star dad said to me, "I'll take you there on a bicycle, and I'll take you to the hospital when I have time to wait for a taxi." ”
When I heard this, I felt that this was the only way to go, and I really couldn't wait any longer! So I was a little embarrassed and said to Xingxing's father: "Then you can take us to the Chinese medicine hospital for some time, the Chinese medicine hospital is closer to here." ”
"Okay, you wait, I'll go back to the cart. Daddy Star turned around and went back to the neighborhood because he had walked out.
It took another five minutes for Dad Xing to push the bicycle out of the community, I sat behind him with Yangyang in my arms, he pedaled the bicycle hard, walked through the middle of the car, and sent our mother and son to the emergency department of the Chinese medicine hospital in more than ten minutes.
"Why are you bringing your child here now? Do you know what forty-one degrees mean? This is a terrible temperature! You young people really don't understand anything!" An old Chinese medicine doctor accused me and quickly prescribed a prescription to the nurse, asking the nurse to help me get the medicine back immediately, but when the nurse asked me to take the money, I found that I only had five yuan in my pocket, which was far from enough money for medicine!
"Doctor, you give my son an infusion first, and I'll call the child's father and ask him to send the money over. "I'm willing to beg the doctor.
"It's not that I don't give my child a loss, it's because I can't get the medicine from the pharmacy without paying. The doctor looked at me helplessly.
"What should I do, the child will die if he burns like this!" I burst into tears.
After Dad Xing sent our mother and son here, he went back, and now I don't know who to ask for help at once, looking at Yangyang who doesn't cry or make trouble, I'm going crazy.
At this time, the doctor who knew Yangyang's condition better than me spoke: "That's it, I'll lend you the money first, and your husband will return it to me when he comes." ”
"Thank you, doctor, thank you!" I listened to the doctor's words, and I was so moved that I almost knelt down for him.
The nurse took the doctor's money and quickly went to the pharmacy to get the medicine back, but when I saw the life-saving liquid slowly flowing into Yangyang's blood vessels along the transparent infusion tube, my heart was still beating wildly, because I didn't know how much effect these potions had on Yangyang, and whether they would quickly lower his body temperature? I was so anxious that I entrusted the nurse to help me make a leave call to the unit first, and then to Lu Tao to page, but after waiting for half an hour, Lu Tao still didn't call back, and I didn't know what he was busy with.
Fortunately, after an hour of fluid infusion, Yangyang's body temperature dropped below forty degrees and he began to chat with me, and then I was relieved.
Until noon, no one came to see our mother and son. Lu Tao probably didn't know the phone number of the hospital that was sent to his pager, so he didn't take it seriously, or he thought I was taking Yangyang back to the countryside. But he didn't want to think about it, today is not a weekend, how can I go back to the countryside? Even if he thinks that I should call the countryside and ask when I go back to the countryside? I thought again, maybe he didn't come home at all at noon, and he was eating out, thinking that I and Yangyang were at home. Although I often remind Lu Tao to call home when he doesn't go home for dinner, he rarely does this, and I always call him.
But I don't want to call my mother, I don't want her to travel more than ten miles to see me in the hospital, and I don't want her to think that Lu Tao doesn't care about me and lament my marriage again. Later, I had to ask the nurse to call my mother-in-law again, and at twelve o'clock, the little uncle came to the hospital with money and food. After the infusion of Yangyang, the uncle and I planned to take him home, but the doctor stopped him, saying that Yangyang's high fever had not subsided, and he had to stay in the hospital, and it was very dangerous to go home. I listened to the doctor's advice, stayed with Yangyang, and let the little uncle go back.
It wasn't until about six o'clock in the evening that Lu Tao came to the hospital in a hurry, he said that he had been running errands in Taiyuan all day, and he didn't bother to call me. Of course, his explanation was far-fetched and did not quench my anger at all, and I said to him with a gloomy face:
"Don't you care if our mother and son are dead or alive? Don't you care about calling me, but you can call your mother!"
Lu Tao learned about Yangyang's situation when he called his mother.
Lu Tao knew that he was wrong, so he didn't have much excuse, came to Yangyang's bed, and flattered Yangyang: "Yangyang, what do you want to eat, Dad will buy it for you?"
Yang Yang shook his head, didn't speak, and didn't look at him.
"Why don't you buy you a toy?" he said to Yang Yang with a happy smile, but Yang Yang still shook his head and ignored him.
"He has the spirit to play with toys now, you don't know that he couldn't stand when he was at home, and he fell to the ground all at once, but it frightened me, and it must have been a cold from the wind when we took him up the mountain for a picnic. I said to Lu Tao.
"But is Kai Kai of Liu Jia's family okay?" Lu Tao definitely has a problem, and it is Liu Jia who opens and closes his mouth.
"How do you know Kai Kai is fine? Could it be that you went to Liu Jia's house?" I asked.
"What are you thinking? I didn't go to her house, I saw her go to work in the morning, do you think, if Kaikai is sick, can she not ask for leave?" Lu Tao explained.
"Just because Kai Kai is not sick doesn't mean that Yang Yang shouldn't be sick, can people be the same? According to what you say, if one person is sick, people all over the world should be sick!" Anyway, I don't agree with Lu Tao's statement.
"Okay, don't quarrel with me in the hospital, let people laugh at me, I'll just talk casually, you will talk so much!" As soon as he couldn't find reason, Lu Tao said this.
Lu Tao and I stayed in the hospital at night, due to the lack of beds, and because we wanted to save money, we only needed a companion bed, in this single bed only one meter wide, Lu Tao and I squeezed together for five nights, until Yangyang's body temperature returned to normal, we did not leave the hospital.
When I got home, the first thing I did was to take out the 5,000 yuan we had in our savings and take out 3,000 yuan to buy two mobile phones in the store! Lu Tao didn't agree to buy a mobile phone at first, but when he saw that I had to buy it, he suggested that I only buy myself a few hundred yuan of a domestic mobile phone, but I said that he and I both had to bring mobile phones, just to make it easier to get in touch! I don't want to be trapped in the hospital anymore!
The price of a mobile phone is too expensive for us, and I have to pay three months' salary to buy a mobile phone, just like I just had a program-controlled phone, and it costs 3,000 yuan to install a phone at home, and I have to pay half a year's salary! But I need a mobile phone now, and I have to buy it.
Since I got my mobile phone, I feel that my family is finally in line with this era, especially when I take out my mobile phone in front of people to call others, I am always full of confidence. Also, since I had a mobile phone, as soon as Lu Tao came home late, I rushed him back with a phone call. When I miss my mother, I call for half an hour, and my classmates and friends are also easy to contact. But in this way, not only is there an extra expense at home, but people have also become busy, and there are more affairs at home and outside the home, as if we are running to catch up with this era.
But everything is good and bad, for our family, the disadvantage of having a mobile phone is that Lu Tao and I don't trust each other very much, Lu Tao often peeks at my call records and text messages at night, and I often look at his mobile phone, but I don't peek, but check publicly in front of him. He really talked to Liu Jia frequently, and his explanation was of course that his work needed it.
"I have no objection to you dating Liu Jia, it is your right to associate with whom, although the marriage law stipulates that husband and wife must be loyal to each other, but I don't want to force others to be loyal to me, I'm not so domineering, but I want to tell you, if you like someone else, just move out generously, I won't hold you back." "After reading Lu Tao's correspondence records, I said this to him.
"You don't care if I find someone else? It seems that you and I have no feelings at all, right?" Lu Tao understood it this way.
"It's not fake to say that there is no relationship, after all, we have lived together for many years, and we have a son, I just don't want to force you. I added.
"I found out that you are suspicious all day, although Liu Jia and I can talk very well, but there is really nothing between us, it is a pure colleague relationship, please believe it!" Lu Tao said to me with a serious face, as if what I just said hurt him.
"Well, I trust you, and hopefully I won't see what I don't want to see happen in the future. "For Liu Jia, we finally had our first conversation, I chose to fully believe Lu Tao, even if I saw that he and Liu Jia had 110 million call records, I also chose to believe, I said, my attitude towards cheating is that if you can't see it, it doesn't exist.
However, Lu Tao said that he and Liu Jia could talk about it, and this sentence still shook me! )
