Chapter 263: Discovery
When Zhou Xiaoan and Man Cang arrived home with a few thick reeds, Zhou Yuehai had already returned, and he was sitting on the kang in the West House sharpening wooden sticks, with a piece of rubber and a thin rubber tube for the core of a bicycle valve next to him.

Zhou Xiaoan handed the reed to Zhou Yuehai, watched him pick the strongest section and cut it off, cut a small round piece of rubber with the same diameter as the reed pipe, skillfully tied it to the small wooden stick he had sharpened with a thin wire, and then put it in the reed.
The freshly boiled and sterilized fine rubber tube was put on the other end of the reed to make a simple syringe.
Zhou Xiaoan immediately understood, "Uncle, are we using this to feed Xiaohu?" ”
Zhou Yuehai nodded, "Yes, if he can't swallow it, we will push it into its mouth, and it will eat it himself in two days." ”
The second uncle brought in the boiled rice soup, Zhou Yuehai poured it several times with two bowls, cooled the rice soup, and let Zhou Xiaoan take a sip to try that it was indeed not hot, so he took half a tube, put the fine rubber tube in Xiaohu's mouth, and gently pushed it in.
Although there were only a few drops, Xiaohu, who had not eaten since birth, was still choked, coughed violently a few times, and his small body was ricketized and trembling pitifully.
Zhou Xiao'an gently stroked its thin back, and comforted it softly for a long time before it lay on its dying stomach in Zhou Xiao'an's palm and quieted down.
Zhou Yuehai thought about it, dipped his fingers in some rice soup and wiped it on Xiaohu's mouth, and patiently wiped it little by little a few times, before it finally felt the aroma of the food, and the pink and white tongue stretched out and moved a few times, although it couldn't even lick, but it already had the consciousness of eating.
This time I fed it again, and the two drops of rice soup that were less than just now were squeezed into my mouth, and it didn't choke, and squeezed a few drops into it, and the instinct of life finally worked, and it actually swallowed it by itself!
Half a reed tube of rice soup, people didn't drink a sip, Xiaohu drank it for nearly twenty minutes before he finished it.
Zhou Xiaoan took a handkerchief to wipe Xiaohu's mouth, but was picked up by Zhou Yuehai, he poured some warm boiled water on the handkerchief, and gently cleaned Xiaohu.
After drinking the rice soup, the little guy finally had the appearance of a kitten, and he would raise his paws and rub his little head twice, and then rubbed Zhou Xiaoan's palm again, and lay down comfortably.
Zhou Yuehai and Zhou Xiaoan looked at each other and smiled, and they both relaxed their hearts. If you can eat, you can feed yourself!
Zhou Yuehai folded a small bed with a pillow towel and motioned for Zhou Xiaoan to put Xiaohu down.
I've been holding it like this for half an afternoon, and no matter how light it is, I'm tired.
Xiaohu refused, Zhou Xiaoan was just about to put it down, it screamed bitterly, like a child who was about to be forcibly taken away from its mother, frightened and pitiful, the little paw grabbed Zhou Xiaoan's fingers and refused to come down, making people unbearable to put it down.
Zhou Xiao'an hurriedly held it and gave it a soothing hair, so it put its little head into Zhou Xiao'an's fingers and hummed twice, and then went to sleep.
Zhou Xiaoan has liked small animals since she was a child, but the psychiatrist is afraid that her emotional dependence on pets is too strong, and unexpected situations will cause excessive mood swings, and he is also afraid that she will be more reluctant to contact with the outside world, so he has not recommended her to have pets.
She had never been so wholeheartedly dependent on a fragile little being.
This feeling of novelty was too strong, and Zhou Xiaoan didn't want to put Xiaohu down, so he kept holding it carefully in the palm of his hand, and even lowered his voice when talking to his uncle.
"Uncle, when will we feed Xiaohu next time? Is it full when it eats so little? Would you like to put some sugar on it? ”
Zhou Yuehai almost laughed when he heard the last question, this little girl loves candy, and she likes to give candy to whoever she is good to, the first time he went back to his second uncle's house last year, she used a bowl of thick sugar water to make him drink several bowls of water before clearing his throat.
"I don't know if I can give Xiaohu candy yet, and I'll talk about it when I ask clearly, don't give it anything but rice soup now, we can't cure it if it eats bad."
"The first time I gave it these, I fed it every two hours, and then I slowly increased the amount, and that's how I fed the child."
Zhou Yuehai discussed with Zhou Xiaoan one by one, as if he was very familiar with raising cats and children.
I can't tell how I can't tell that more than half an hour ago, he asked his wife, "Do you want to feed it when you call?" is not a question of his style at all.
Zhou Xiaoan nodded one by one, looking at Zhou Yuehai intently, his bright black eyes flashed with admiration, and his face was clearly written, "My uncle is so powerful!" Understands everything"!
Zhou Yuehai was a little uncomfortable by her, and a sense of pride rose inexplicably in her heart, as if the sense of accomplishment of feeding a kitten was worse than winning a battle, and the sense of satisfaction was also stronger.
Any victory was bought with the lives and blood of his comrades-in-arms, he is a professional soldier, although he has long understood it and will adjust his mentality, but in the face of such a victory, joy is always mixed with tragedy.
It's completely different from the pure joy of being so simple and relaxed with pride.
As the youngest colonel in the entire military region and a heroic model of the whole army, he has seen too many admiring eyes, but no one has ever been able to make him feel so relaxed and happy like Zhou Xiaoan, as long as he is looked at by her like this, he is full of energy, and he wants to do something for her, and do more.
It would be nice to keep her so elated.
"Give me the little tiger at night, I'll feed it."
Feeding it once every two hours, and getting up several times a night, it was too hard, Zhou Yuehai couldn't help but propose, "Let it be my companion in the Westinghouse, you have to make noise about it when you get up in the middle of the night to feed it." ”
Zhou Xiaoan disagreed, "I'll take it lightly and take it to the kitchen to feed it, and I won't disturb the wife." Uncle is working so hard these days, let's sleep well. ”
Neither of them wanted each other to work hard, and they fought for a long time, but in the end, Zhou Yuehai still didn't fight Zhou Xiaoan.
There was no way, Xiaohu Lai refused to come down in Zhou Xiaoan's hands, and as soon as he approached it, he was so nervous that he wanted to blow up, which was too uncooperative.
The two of them worked around this little guy for a long time, discussing where to let him sleep, when he could add food, and even discussed making a cat nest for him when he went back to Zhou Yuehai.
didn't seem to say a few words, and in a blink of an eye, it was dark, and the second uncle brought the meal in, "Seeing that you two are chatting lively, let's eat in the Westhouse today!" ”
Dinner was corn and cabbage, leaf paste and bran gnocchi. The corn ballast was brought back by Zhou Yuehai just now, just to cook rice soup for Xiaohu, and the whole family also borrowed it.
Zhou Xiaoan held Xiaohu in her right hand, and the little guy held one finger of her and slept sweetly, she couldn't bear to put it down, so she ate with chopsticks in her left hand.
Fortunately, she has always been able to shoot the bow left and right, and she does not delay at all.
After eating, Zhou Yuehai fed Xiaohu again, this time let Zhou Xiaoan watch it carefully, and she would feed herself at night.
The two of them tossed Xiaohu for a long time, until it was so dark that it couldn't be any darker, and it was pouring rain outside, so Zhou Xiaoan took Xiaohu back to sleep.
I got up in the middle of the night to feed Xiaohu, the heavy rain outside still didn't stop, and the temperature dropped several degrees, Zhou Xiaoan touched the rice soup that was already cold, and felt that Xiaohu still couldn't be cold, so he got up and went to the kitchen to warm it up.
As soon as she got dressed and opened the door of the east house, she remembered the sound of hurried footsteps in the courtyard, and then someone knocked on the door eagerly in the heavy rain, "Comrade Zhou! Comrade Zhou! Check it out! The water is too big for the embankment to withstand! ”
Zhou Xiaoan was just about to run over to open the door, Zhou Yuehai had already opened the door one step ahead of her, casually put on the raincoat by the door, and was about to follow the person out of the door.
Zhou Xiaoan stood at the door, only then woke up, rushed over and grabbed Zhou Yuehai, "Uncle!" What's wrong with your legs?! ”
