Cui Pu hurriedly grabbed her hand and held it in his palm. "Don't move, there's a lot of people watching here!"

Yo, is your face still red? Are you ashamed or excited?

Mu Jiaojiao was as kind as a stream: "Okay, let's go in first." ”

But when he entered the room, Cui Pu immediately lowered his face: "You didn't say hello to me and ran here by yourself! What about the children? You threw them down?"

"I invited Sister Ah and asked her to help me take care of them with Ah Mei. Mu Jiaojiao said, "You can rest assured on the child's side, didn't I ask them to write to you two days ago? I don't worry at all about handing them over to my sister and sister. On the contrary - I'm most worried about you right now, so I'm here to help you. ”

said that Cui Pu's heart was warm.

But his face was still tense: "Since you're here, let's talk about your plan!"

Sure enough, Mu Jiaojiao spread out a piece of paper and began to talk to him about the plans she had made these days.

The situation of being a team doctor before is still vivid, and the details of the operation are her business, so she remembers them clearly. These days, she has also flipped through some county records, and has a rough grasp of the measures taken by the government after each previous flood. The combination of the two has formulated a method that is most suitable for Jingjiang County now.

Cui Pu read it carefully, and after knowing the bottom of his heart, he hurriedly asked people to count the number of people who showed symptoms of infection with the plague among the affected people, as well as the specific population.

A day later, the data was sent, and many people in the first two villages to be affected by the disaster had already developed symptoms of cough and fever, and more than 20% of them had severe symptoms. There are some other villages, but the most serious situation is in those two villages.

After listening to this, Mu Jiaojiao immediately said: "The situation is urgent, and we can't delay it for a moment." Now, I'll take someone to Qingshui Village first!"

"You can't go!" Cui Pu quickly stopped her.

Mu Jiaojiao looked at him puzzled, Cui Pu gritted his teeth and said: "You are already weak, and now you have just given birth, how can you run to such a place?" You haven't seen the situation in Qingshui Village, there are small pools everywhere, and many things are soaking in it, and the last time I went there, I found that flies and mosquitoes had begun to fly there. Now in the sun, it will definitely be worse. Those able-bodied people can't afford to stay there any longer, let alone you?"

In his heart, he should still regard her as the sick and crooked little woman when he first got married!

Mu Jiaojiao smiled and shook his head: "I expected these for a long time, so I already carried the medicine with me." ”

"But ......"

"Not really right now. This is the first plague here in more than 20 years, and most of the doctors in Yangzhou Mansion have little experience, and now I must take care of them. I led them through it first, so that they all knew the specific process and precautions. That way, when they change places, they will know what to do. ”

"Change places?" Cui Pu was stunned.

Mu Jiaojiao supported his forehead. "You don't think it's just Jingjiang County where there is a plague, right?"

Of course not. Now almost the entire city of Yangzhou has been hit by torrential rains, and there are some gaps in the local embankments. It was only because Jingjiang County was the most serious and caused the greatest losses that he came here to preside over the overall situation.

He listened to Mu Jiaojiao's words just now, and his first reaction was - should it be, after she is busy with the affairs of Jingjiang County, she will change places and continue to be busy?

He absolutely disagrees with this!

But then he reacted: Mu Jiaojiao thought that he had a brain pump for a while, and only focused on Jingjiang County, and forgot that other places were also affected to varying degrees.

Mu Jiaojiao is not stupid. As soon as she saw Cui Pu's reaction, she knew that she was thinking about something, and quickly explained: "My current identity and physical condition do not allow me to run around. So now, I just chose Jingjiang County as a demonstration site, and brought my apprentices and grandchildren to treat the plague here. Once they've learned all the tricks, it's time for them to disperse to other places and do it themselves. Where the situation is not as serious as here, I feel more comfortable leaving things to them. ”

I see.

Cui Pu breathed a sigh of relief. But thinking about it, he still said, "I'll go with you." ”

"You...... Okay!" Knowing that she couldn't get rid of this man now, Mu Jiaojiao didn't bother to waste her lips and tongue anymore, so she reluctantly agreed.

Next, the couple led people directly to the village where the plague was most severe. After Mu Jiaojiao led a group of apprentices and grandchildren to observe the local situation on the spot, he asked someone to smoke the mugwort he brought in the place where mosquitoes, rats and ants gathered, and then separated the sick and the uninfected people, and distributed decoction to them separately.

As for Cui Pu, he continued to lead people to clean up the village, drain the sewage, and clean up the houses and chickens, ducks and pigsty that were washed away by the flood, so as to prevent the epidemic from spreading and raging again.

These things seem simple, but they are especially trivial and tiring to do.

Most of the people have not read many books, let alone understand those great truths. All they know is that when they see someone with the plague, they are terrified that they will not be infected. Most of them were quite obedient, and they did what the officers and soldiers asked them to do. However, some people began to think crookedly, always feeling that the people around them were not safe, so they wanted to sneak away in the dead of night.

Thanks to Cui Pu's preparation, he set up a guard outside the village for people to guard, and when he saw the people who had escaped secretly, he pulled them back.

The people were not convinced, and they made a lot of noise, which was another headache to appease.

The list goes on and on. But fortunately, under the strong suppression of Cui Pu and the army, there was no big mess in the end. After a few more doses of medicine, the condition of the seriously ill person improved significantly, and the other people who showed a little sign of infection were soon fine. Naturally, the other people who had nothing to do were even more lively.

Upon discovering this, the hearts of the people gradually settled down.

Seeing that the situation in Jingjiang County had been brought under control, Mu Jiaojiao left only one apprentice and two apprentices here to help him, and the other people who had learned how to deal with it quickly dispersed to other disaster-stricken counties to preside over the work against the plague.

This is bound to be a protracted process.

By the time the plague in Jingjiang County was completely eliminated, it would have been nearly a month later. At this time, the plague in other places also disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, there is the post-disaster reconstruction work in various places, which is the top priority of Cui Pu's next work.

During this month's time, although Cui Pu and Mu Jiaojiao were in Jingjiang County, because of their different duties, they went to different battlefields almost during the day, and it was not until after dark that the two extremely tired people could meet each other in the temporary place of residence. But at most, I just said a few words, and then I quickly washed up and went to sleep. When they got up the next morning, they packed up and went out to continue their work.

The prefect and his wife worked tirelessly to personally go to the front line of the fight against the plague, and built a strong wall for the people with their own hands. The news spread unconsciously, and the image of the couple loving the people like sons became more and more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

With them taking the lead, the magistrates and counties in other places did not dare to stand by anymore, and they all followed the example of Cui Pu and Mu Jiaojiao, rolled up their sleeves and went to the ground in person to help the people solve practical difficulties.

In this way, the progress of disaster relief and treatment has been greatly accelerated.

In just one month, the current emergency has been dealt with, and only the major project of post-disaster reconstruction remains. This is not in a hurry, it must be slowly figured out.

But fortunately, Cui Pu had already ordered someone to allocate a lot of food and tents from the treasury and county treasury in various counties for emergency, and later someone from Chang'an also sent first-aid supplies. After the distribution, the basic livelihood of the people has been guaranteed, and the people's mood is quite stable.

Cui Pu breathed a sigh of relief, and then took Mu Jiaojiao back to Yangzhou City.

And when she returned to the mansion, Mu Jiaojiao fell ill.

"It's nothing, it's just tired. She has a weak foundation and a thin body. After a month of rushing back and forth like this, even a big man can't bear it, let alone a weak woman like her? Now take a good rest for a while, and then slowly give her a supplement, and after a month and a half should be about the same. Doctor Chang said.

Because of the lack of manpower at the beginning, Chang Taiyi and Mu Jiaojiao acted separately, and the two of them were the two leaders in the fight against the plague this time. Doctor Chang has just returned, and he has lost a lot of weight.

Cui Pu nodded repeatedly. But as soon as he sent away Imperial Physician Chang, his face became gloomy again.

Seeing this, a trace of shame appeared on Mu Jiaojiao's face. She quietly reached out from under the covers, trying to grab his hand. Who knew that Cui Pu took the first step to close his hand, allowing her to catch the air.

Mu Jiaojiao knew that he was really angry.

She took a deep breath and looked at him blankly, "Are you angry?"

"Yes!" Cui Puliang said coldly, "Who said that she had prepared everything and that she must be fine?"

Mu Jiaojiao was silent, and Cui Pu snorted again: "In the future, I won't believe what you say anymore." Women are liars, especially you! You've lied to me so many times!"

Mu Jiaojiao hung it all down, and didn't dare to refute a word.

Cui Pu's heart was dark.

She's going to have a day of being deflated in front of him! It's so refreshing, he wants to feel it!

It's a pity that he didn't feel it for long, when he heard a sound of footsteps coming, and the eldest lady came with her younger brothers.

"Daddy!" When she saw Cui Pu at the door, the eldest lady hurriedly screamed and threw herself into Cui Pu's arms.

Cui Pu also quickly took his daughter into his arms. The eldest lady hugged his neck and asked like a cannon: "Daddy, why did you come back so many days? My brother and I are almost worried about you to death! Have you read the letter I gave you? Why haven't you replied to me? You are disobedient! You can't do this in the future!"

"Okay, okay, if you don't do it in the future, your letter Daddy will definitely reply in the future. Isn't it too busy this time, and it will definitely not be like this in the future!" "Facing his daughter, Cui Pu really brought Daddy's love to the extreme.

When the father and daughter spoke, Cui Pu's eyes did not let go of the eldest son. Sure enough, taking advantage of the intimacy between him and his daughter, Da Langjun quietly walked around behind him again, and tiptoed to Mu Jiaojiao's side, but the little hand moved extremely fast, and quickly took Mu Jiaojiao's hand.

When Cui Pu saw it, he was immediately furious again, and hurriedly stepped forward to drag his son away. Da Langjun shouted: "No, A-Niang is sick!

"Hey, A-Niang, you're sick!" The eldest lady realized that Mu Jiaojiao was lying on the bed, and immediately climbed down from Cui Pu, and also lay on the edge of the bed to look at Mu Jiaojiao.

Mu Jiaojiao touched a pair of children's little heads: "A-Niang is fine, but I'm tired." Just rest for two days. ”

"Oh, then we're relieved. The eldest lady hurriedly patted her little breasts, and then flattened her small mouth, "Little Brother is learning to turn over now! I was going to let him perform for you to see, but now Auntie, you are like this, forget it!"

"Will Erlang turn over?" Hearing the news, Cui Pu and Mu Jiaojiao were taken aback.

The eldest lady and the eldest lady nodded one after another.

"But, didn't he even know how to sit before?" Cui Pu asked hurriedly.

"He's learned!" the eldest lady announced cheerfully.

Cui Pu hurriedly looked at Erlangjun's nurse. The nurse nodded honestly: "Erlangjun is indeed able to laugh and sit, and now he is also learning to turn over." ”

As she spoke, she hurriedly put the swaddling clothes in her arms on the bed, and the eldest lady hurriedly poked the little brother who was still sleeping with her eyes closed: "Brother, get up and turn over!"

Miraculously, Erlangjun immediately opened his eyes. His eyes swept over Sister and Brother who were lying on the side, and he immediately kicked his little fat legs and sat up. Then he fell down and began to roll over to the side.

That movement looked extraordinarily neat, not at all like two months ago when I couldn't even sit.

The eldest lady looked at it with relish for a while, and then smiled at Mu Jiaojiao and said, "Auntie, look, how good the little brother is!"

It was very good, and it was greatly unexpected by her!

Mu Jiaojiao looked at the little son who continued to turn over, and couldn't help but turn her eyes to the little children on the edge of the bed.

"You did it again?"
