My Courtyard Refuge

Sickness

In the next few days, the life in the courtyard seemed a little dull. Xu Dong and his family basically didn’t leave the gate, and they didn’t go out.

eat, drink, sleepPlay, all solved at home.

Only Huahua, that cihuamao, would occasionally jump over the courtyard wall and wander around outside.

After nearly a month of getting along, this raccoon cat has completely regarded the courtyard house 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 every time, but he was safe and sound.

…

In the blink of an eye, February 22nd, if Xu Dong’s memory is correct, the solar flare will end tomorrow.

Unexpectedly, at this juncture, Xiaobao, the weakest of the triplets, actually had a fever, and Xu Dong was so anxious that he immediately dropped the book in his hand.

“How to Stop Anxiety and Start a New Life” is impressively printed on the cover of the book.

This is one of the best-selling books that Xu Dong bought online as a package before, and the author is the famous Carnegie.

After throwing down the book, Xu Dongsan rushed into the living room in two steps, only to see Yang Lina hugging Xiaobao and coaxing him. The little guy’s face was flushed, his lips were dry, and he was sobbing softly.

“What’s the matter, why do you have a fever?”

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 little hot.

“Don’t worry, it should be a cold.”

Mother Xu comforted her, and she was about to take Xiaobao’s temperature at this time.

Because the electronic products failed, the old-fashioned mercury thermometer was still used.

How could Xu Dong not be in a hurry, some bad memories from his previous life flashed unconsciously in his mind, and his face turned pale for a moment.

At the same time, he muttered:

“It was fine last night!”

“Could it be that the fireplace is burning too hot?”

“It shouldn’t be!”

Xu’s mother looked at her youngest son in surprise, how can a child not get sick, let alone just a small cold, as for being so anxious?

Seven or eight minutes later, the measurement results of the thermometer came out:

38.9 degrees!

Mama Xu shouted “Thank God”, and then said happily: “It’s not over 39 degrees, it’s not a high fever, it should be just a small cold.”

Seeing that Xu Dong was still in a daze, Mother Xu quickly pushed him and urged: “Why are you in a daze, take Nana and Xiaobao to the hospital quickly!”

Xu Dong suddenly came to his senses, hurriedly went to the underground warehouse, and then dragged out a brand new mountain bike from the emergency exit.

Right now it is inconvenient, the car cannot be driven due to fuel, and even the car elevator has stopped, so it can only be entered and exited 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 Mama to pay more attention to Dabao and Erbao.

After all, the triplets stay together every day. If it is a cold, it is easy to be infected.

“Sit tight!”

Xu Dong was very anxious, but he didn’t dare to ride the bicycle too fast. In the end, it took more than ten minutes to arrive at the nearby Children’s Hospital affiliated to the Yanjing Institute of Pediatrics.

The constitution of the triplets is weaker than that of normal babies, and they have been doing regular physical examinations in this hospital before.

After parking the car, the three went straight to the emergency room.

Because of the power outage, there were not many medical staff and patients in the hospital at this time, and I didn’t see any critically ill patients, so they probably went to other places.

The doctor in the emergency room checked and found that there was no major problem, so he was transferred directly to the outpatient department.

The doctor was a female doctor in her forties. After some examination, she smiled and comforted her:

“Mr. Xu, I think you are more anxious than the child’s mother. Take it easy. The child should have caught a cold. It’s not a big problem.”

Yang Lina breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly thanked her: “I’m sorry, Dr. Yang! You also know that our children are triplets. His father is indeed a little worried, and he is often surprised.”

Xu Dong was still a little worried, and he was fidgeting. 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 is unusable. If you are still worried, you can go to Fangcaodi School diagonally opposite.”

Xu Dong’s heart moved after hearing this, and Dr. Yang continued to introduce:

“There is a large civil air defense project over there, more than ten meters deep 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 wanted to speak, Yang Lina stopped him.

“Is it up to you or an expert? Dr. Yang said it was just a cold, so don’t worry about it. Don’t worry about a minor illness before you get better, and then you get a serious illness.”

Dr. Yang smiled and said nothing. She has seen Xu Dong in this situation a lot, and the child’s mother is more sensible.

Xu Dong sighed deeply, as the saying goes, caring will lead to chaos, let his wife decide the doctor’s work!

In the end, Dr. Yang prescribed some medicine for Xiao Bao to treat his cold, and let the little guy get an IV in the hospital.

At 4:30 in the afternoon, the little guy’s fever finally subsided, and Xu Dong and his wife were finally relieved.

After returning home from the hospital, the two sisters, Ke Ke, ran over to see the younger brother immediately, and Xu Dong hurriedly told them to stay away to avoid being infected by the cold.Children’s resistance is weak, so it’s better to pay attention.

“Father, is Xiaobao having a hard time?”

There were tears in Lele’s eyes, and she looked like she was about to cry, because she also felt bad when she had a fever.

===Section 18===

Xu Dong quickly patted the little padded jacket’s head, and comforted him: “Xiaobao’s fever has subsided, so he shouldn’t feel uncomfortable now.”

“When will Xiaobao’s illness be cured?” Ke Ke asked immediately.

“It will be fine after few days.”

After comforting the Keke sisters, Yang Lina carried Xiaobao directly to the bedroom on the second floor. The triplets will be separated for a while, and this is the first time they have slept separately since they were born.

At night, the temperature in the room is relatively low.

But it didn’t bother Xu Dong, he transformed the alcohol stove into a heating stove for Xiaobao’s use, and the couple took turns to stay there until dawn.

Early in the morning, Xu Dong touched Xiaobao’s forehead again, but luckily the fever subsided.

In the early hours of the morning, the little guy had been running a mild fever. If his wife hadn’t stopped him, Xu Dong would have carried Xiaobao to the hospital overnight.

After breakfast, the couple took Xiao Bao to the hospital for a follow-up visit, and then got another water tap.

After hanging the water, the little guy’s energy was much better, and he drank a large bottle of milk powder after returning home.

After lunch, Xu Dong sat in the yard basking in the sun, but glanced at the watch on his wrist from time to time, as if waiting for a certain moment to arrive.

The time finally came to 12:55, which is the time when the solar flare officially ended.

As a reborn person, these are the few precise moments that Xu Dong can recall.

When the time came, Xu Dong immediately jumped up, turned around and went down to the basement.

He found out the instruction manual of Hanergy Company and followed the above operation steps to start up the solar power generation equipment step by step.

The green indicator light is on, indicating that the device is operating normally.
