Professor Gu's daily life in the countryside after his rebirth

With the introduction of industrial policies by cities and counties in Ontario, the breeding of white-feathered chickens has finally gotten on track, and the research and development of avian influenza vaccines has entered a critical stage.

Gu Zhan goes out early and comes back late every day. If Liu Xiaoxi hadn't waited for Gu Zhan to come home before resting every day, she would have been like little Gu Xinxin, not seeing Gu Zhan every day.

It was another late night. Liu Xiaoxi sat at the table, writing the lesson plan for the next course while waiting for Gu Zhan.

I waited until after twelve o'clock, but Gu Zhan still didn't come back.

Thinking that the first class tomorrow morning would be English, Liu Xiaoxi closed the textbook and lesson plan, poured a glass of water, took a few sips and was about to go to bed. Suddenly, he heard a whimpering sob coming from his daughter's bedroom. Liu Xiaoxi frowned and ran into his daughter's room.

After turning on the light, Liu Xiaoxi saw that her daughter was sweating profusely and her face was pale. She was mumbling something, but she couldn't hear clearly.

Liu Xiaoxi was in a panic and hurried to her daughter's bedside and touched her forehead.

My daughter has a fever!

My forehead is so hot!

Liu Xiaoxi was at a loss.

In the past, Gu Zhan was the one who took care of his daughter when she was sick. Now that Gu Zhan was not there, Liu Xiaoxi was suddenly at a loss.

How to do?

Take medicine, yes, take medicine first!

In a panic, Liu Xiaoxi stumbled to the table in the living room and opened the drawer with trembling hands. When he reached in to take the medicine, he found that there was only the wrapping paper inside. The wrapping paper was empty. How could there be any medicine?

She suddenly remembered that her child had a fever some time ago and had finished taking the antipyretic medicine.

The two people behind were busy with work and didn't remember to add more medicine.

In a panic, Liu Xiaoxi ran to the bathroom, wet a towel with warm water and put it on her daughter's forehead.

Feeling the warmth on his forehead, Gu Xinxin opened his eyes in a daze and called out "Dad"!

Liu Xiaoxi felt sad when she heard this. She hugged her daughter's little body and comforted her softly.

A child over five years old who is not feeling well misses his close ones the most, especially Gu Xinxin, the baby who was raised in the palm of his father's hand.

She felt pain all over her body, opened her eyes in a daze, and saw that her father was not at home, so she burst into tears.

Liu Xiaoxi was at a loss as to how to coax the child and had to keep changing towels. After a while, she was sweating all over, but her daughter's fever still did not go away.

In this situation, Liu Xiaoxi didn't dare to delay. She quickly picked up her still sobbing daughter, put on her clothes, put on her coat, opened the door and walked outside.

Qu Hongbo and his family lived upstairs from Gu Zhan's house. Qu Hongbo often talked about how outstanding Gu Zhan was at home. Both of them were teachers at school, so Qu Hongbo's wife Wang Hui also paid more attention to Gu Zhan's family downstairs.

Qu Hongbo was not at home recently, so she went to bed early. When she woke up, she vaguely heard a child crying, and the sound of a stool falling. She thought that the couple downstairs had quarreled and scared the child. When she was about to listen carefully, she heard the door creak open.

runaway?

Wang Hui speculated in her mind, and then she suddenly remembered that Gu Zhan and Qu Hongbo had been staying in the lab for a while, with no time to go home. Plus, since Qu Hongbo hadn't gone home yet, Gu Zhan probably hadn't gone home either, so...

There must be some emergency.

Thinking of this, Wang Hui hurriedly grabbed a coat and put it on, then opened the door and walked out in slippers.

"Is it a stream?" Wang Hui asked, holding the railing on the stairs at the door.

Hearing someone calling her name, Liu Xiaoxi thought it must be someone familiar, so she hurriedly said, "Auntie, it's me."

"Why are you so anxious in the middle of the night?"

Liu Xiaoxi calmed down and said, "Auntie, the child has a fever. I'll take her to the hospital."

When Wang Hui heard this, she realized that the child had a fever.

Thinking that Gu Zhan was not at home, Liu Xiaoxi was the only woman taking care of the child. Now that the child had a fever, she must be very anxious.

She hurriedly said, "Xiaoxi, wait for me for a moment. I'll go with you after I change my clothes."

Liu Xiaoxi has lived here for a while, but he has never been to the hospital. It’s really great to have someone to help lead the way.

Liu Xiaoxi felt that the one or two minutes of waiting were like years, and every sob of her daughter tugged at her heartstrings.

Wang Hui packed up quickly, put on her coat casually and came over, holding the bicycle key in her hand.

"Let's take the kids over there on bicycles."

Hearing this, Liu Xiaoxi was so moved that tears came to her eyes.

On the way, Wang Hui kept talking to distract Liu Xiaoxi. After pushing the bicycle for about twenty minutes, they finally arrived at the hospital.

Wang Hui took Liu Xiaoxi to register and gave the child an IV drip as if she was familiar with the procedure. Only then did Liu Xiaoxi feel her heart gradually settle down.

"Thank you, aunt."

Liu Xiaoxi said with red eyes and messy hair.

Wang Hui looked at the young woman in front of her and thought of herself when she was young.

At that time, my husband was always in the laboratory, leaving early and coming back late, and sometimes he didn't even come back. It was not the first time that I brought the children to the hospital late at night.

Thinking of this, she patted Liu Xiaoxi's shoulder lovingly: "Those researchers are like this. They often stay in the lab for ten days or half a month without going home. What's worse, it's not uncommon to not see them for a month or two. It's really hard for us mothers."

Liu Xiaoxi felt sad and didn't know what to say.

Wang Hui accompanied Liu Xiaoxi to give the child an IV drip, and after making arrangements for the mother and daughter, she packed up and went home.

After walking back, Liu Xiaoxi stared at the window glass with lifeless eyes. When she saw her messy hair printed on the glass, she couldn't help but cry.

Gu Xinxin, whose fever had subsided, finally opened her eyes dazedly. She looked at her mother who was taking care of her by the bed and said in a hoarse voice, "Mom, I want to drink some water."

Liu Xiaoxi hurriedly picked up her daughter and fed her water.

After drinking the water, little Gu Xinxin finally regained some strength. She looked around the ward and didn't see Gu Zhan. She asked Liu Xiaoxi disappointedly, "Mom, isn't Dad back yet? I haven't seen him for a long time."

Liu Xiaoxi had no choice but to patiently explain to her daughter, "Dad went to the lab. He's researching medicine that can cure chickens."

"Is it the same medicine Xinxin took today when she was sick?"

Liu Xiaoxi couldn't explain it accurately, so she just said vaguely, "Yes, the chicken will get better after drinking the medicine."
