My courtyard shelter
Chapter 23: Sickness
In the next few days, life in the courtyard seemed a little dull. Xu Dong and his family basically stayed at home.
Eat, drink, poop, sleep and play, all at home.
Only Huahua, the civet cat, would occasionally slip out of the door and go for a walk outside.
After nearly a month of getting along, this civet cat has completely regarded the courtyard as its own home.
The wolf dog Mark was not so lucky. He was tied up in the yard by Xu Dong. Fortunately, he lived in a luxurious dog house with broken bones everywhere, so he was safe and sound.
…
February 22 is here in the blink of an eye. If Xu Dong’s memory is correct, the solar flare will end tomorrow.
Unexpectedly, at this juncture, Xiaobao, the weakest of the triplets, actually developed a fever. Xu Dong was so anxious that he immediately dropped the book in his hand.
"How to Stop Anxiety and Start a New Life" is clearly printed on the cover of the book.
This is one of the best-selling books that Xu Dong bought online before. The author is the famous Carnegie.
After throwing down the book, Xu Dong rushed into the living room in two steps and saw Yang Lina holding Xiaobao and coaxing her. The little guy's face was flushed, his lips were dry, and he was sobbing quietly.
"How are you? Why do you have a fever when you are fine?"
After Xu Dong finished speaking, he first tried Xiaobao's forehead with the back of his hand, and then tried his own, and found that it was indeed a bit hot.
"Don't worry, you probably have a cold."
Xu's mother comforted her, and she was about to take Xiaobao's temperature.
Because the electronic products are out of order, I still use the old-fashioned mercury thermometer.
How could Xu Dong not be in a hurry? Some bad memories from his past life flashed through his mind unconsciously, and his face turned pale for a moment.
At the same time, he muttered:
"Obviously everything was fine last night!"
"Is the fire in the fireplace too bright?"
"It shouldn't be!"
Xu's mother looked at her younger son in surprise. How could a child not get sick? Besides, it was just a small cold. How could he be so anxious?
Seven or eight minutes later, the thermometer measurement results came out:
9 degrees!
Xu's mother shouted "Thank God", and then said happily: "It's not over 39 degrees, so it's not a high fever, it's probably just a small cold."
Seeing that Xu Dong was still in a daze, Xu's mother quickly pushed him and urged: "Why are you in a daze? Take Nana and Xiaobao to the hospital quickly!"
Xu Dong suddenly woke up, quickly went to the underground warehouse, and then pulled out a brand new mountain bike from the emergency exit.
It's just inconvenient right now. The car can't be driven without gas, and even the car elevator has stopped. You can only enter and exit through the emergency exit.
As soon as Xu Dong pushed the bicycle out of the yard, Yang Lina hugged Xiaobao and sat on the back seat. Before leaving, she did not forget to tell Xu's mother to pay more attention to Dabao and Erbao.
After all, the triplets stay together every day, so if they have a cold, they can easily catch it.
"Sit tight!"
Xu Dong was very anxious, but he didn't dare to ride the bicycle too fast. It took him more than ten minutes to reach the nearby Children's Hospital Affiliated to the Yanjing Institute of Pediatrics.
The triplets were physically weaker than normal babies and had been undergoing regular physical examinations at this hospital.
After parking the car, the three of them went straight to the emergency room.
Due to the power outage, there were not many medical staff and patients in the hospital at this time, and no seriously ill patients were seen, so they were probably transferred to other places.
The doctor in the emergency room checked and found that there was no major problem, so he transferred it directly to the outpatient department.
The doctor was a female doctor in her forties. After an examination, she smiled and comforted:
"Mr. Xu, I see that you are more anxious than the child's mother. Relax, the child probably has a cold, it's not a big problem."
Yang Lina breathed a sigh of relief and thanked her quickly: "Excuse me, Doctor Yang! As you know, our children are triplets. His father is indeed a little too worried and is often startled."
Xu Dong was still a little worried and restless. Doctor Yang understood it at a glance, so he added:
"There is a power outage during this period, and all the equipment in the hospital cannot be used. If you are still worried, you can go to the Fangcaodi School diagonally opposite."
Xu Dong felt moved after hearing this, and saw Doctor Yang continuing to introduce:
"There is a large-scale civil air defense project over there, more than ten meters underground. All the critically ill patients in our hospital have been transferred there, and the medical equipment there can still be used normally."
"Doctor Yang..."
Just as Xu Dong was about to speak, he was stopped by Yang Lina.
"Should I listen to you or the experts? Dr. Yang said it's just a cold, so don't worry about it. Don't worry about a minor illness and a serious illness develops before it's cured."
Doctor Yang smiled and said nothing. She had seen Xu Dong's situation many times, and the child's mother was more sensible.
Xu Dong sighed deeply. As the saying goes, caring leads to chaos. Let your wife make the final decision about medical treatment!
Finally, Dr. Yang prescribed some medicine to treat Xiaobao's cold, and gave the little guy an intravenous drip in the hospital.
At 4:30 in the afternoon, the little guy's fever finally subsided, and Xu Dong and his wife finally felt relieved.
After returning home from the hospital, the Coco sisters immediately ran over to see their little brother. Xu Dong quickly told them to stay away to avoid being infected by the cold.
Children have weak resistance, so it’s better to be careful.
"Dad, is Xiaobao feeling uncomfortable?"
Lele's eyes were shining with tears and she looked like she was about to cry, because she also felt very uncomfortable when she had a fever.
Xu Dong quickly touched Xiao Mian'ao's head and comforted him: "Xiao Bao's fever has subsided, and he should not feel uncomfortable now."
"When will Xiao Bao's illness be cured?" Ke Ke asked immediately.
"It will be fine in a few days."
After comforting Ke Ke and her sister, Yang Lina directly took Xiao Bao to the bedroom on the second floor. The triplets had to be separated for a while. This was the first time they slept separately since they were born.
At night, the temperature in the room was relatively low.
But this did not bother Xu Dong. He converted the alcohol stove into a heating stove for Xiao Bao's use. The couple took turns to watch until dawn.
Early in the morning, Xu Dong touched Xiao Bao's forehead again, and fortunately the fever subsided.
In the early hours of the morning, the little guy had been running a mild fever. If his wife had not stopped him, Xu Dong would have almost taken Xiao Bao to the hospital overnight.
After breakfast, the couple took Xiao Bao to the hospital for a follow-up visit, and then hung up the water again.
After hanging the water, the little guy was obviously in much better spirits, and drank a large bottle of milk powder after returning home.
After lunch, Xu Dong sat in the yard to bask in the sun, only glancing at the watch on his wrist from time to time, as if waiting for a certain moment to come.
The time finally came to 12:55, which was the time when the solar flare officially ended.
As a reborn person, this was one of the few precise moments that Xu Dong could recall.
When the time came, Xu Dong jumped up immediately and turned around to go down to the basement.
He found the instruction manual of Hanergy Company and started the solar power generation equipment step by step according to the operating steps above.
The green indicator light came on, indicating that the equipment was running normally.
