The child's face was flushed with fever. Shen Shuyu touched the child's forehead and found it was really hot. "When did Taotao get a fever?"

"I gave him a bowl of brown sugar ginger water this morning, and his temperature went down. But just after he had dinner, he started having a fever again."

Shen Shuyu picked up Taotao and said, "I'll take Taotao to the village doctor first."

Yang Zhen and Liang Jun wanted to go with him, but thinking of their current identities, if they followed, the village doctor might not be willing to save their grandson. The couple looked at each other, stepped out of the cowshed door, and then retracted their feet.

Shen Shuyu ran to find the village doctor while holding Taotao. On the way, Shen Shuyu gave Taotao two drops of spiritual spring water. The spiritual spring water was more effective than any medicine. Shen Shuyu was not worried about Taotao.

But the child had a high fever, so it was safer to take the child to the village doctor. She felt at ease, and so did her grandparents.

It was already past ten o'clock in the evening and the village doctor, Dr. Xu, had already gone to bed. Shen Shuyu knocked on the door for a long time before it opened.

Seeing her holding a child, he was stunned for a moment, "Doctor Xu, please take a look at this child, he has a fever."

When the child was brought into the house, Doctor Xu took a closer look and asked, "Is this the child from the cowshed?"

Doctor Xu knew all the children in the village. Although the child from Niupeng did not often appear in everyone's sight, Doctor Xu also recognized him.

"It's a child from the cowshed. I was passing by and heard crying in the cowshed. I went in to take a look and found out that the child had a fever. His grandparents were extremely worried. I was afraid that the fever would damage the child's brain, so I brought him to you."

Doctor Xu also has two little kids at home. As a parent, he hates to see his children suffer. After taking Taotao's temperature, he prescribed a packet of medicine. "Take it home and have your grandparents boil three bowls of water into one bowl. Drink the medicine, and the fever should be gone by midnight."

Shen Shuyu touched Taotao's forehead and drank the spiritual spring water. His forehead was not so hot anymore and the redness on his face subsided a little.

After getting the medicine, Shen Shuyu carried Taotao back to the cowshed. It was cold, and Shen Shuyu was afraid that Taotao would catch a cold, so she wrapped the child tightly in her military coat.

"Grandpa, Grandma Liang, don't worry. Doctor Xu has prescribed some medicine for Taotao. Boil three bowls of water into one bowl. Drink the medicine and Taotao should be fine."

Yang Zhen took the medicine and began to boil it. Shen Shuyu had found them a clay pot before, which made it convenient to boil the medicine.

Put the medicine into the casserole and watch the fire slowly.

Shen Shuyu also wanted to talk to her second grandfather about taking Taotao to the village doctor to see a doctor tonight.

"Grandpa, Grandma Liang, I have to go to Second Grandpa's house. I'm leaving first and will come back later."

It was already late and snowing heavily. Liang Jun said, "Child, there's no need to come. The village doctor said Taotao will get better after taking the medicine."

Shen Shuyu went to her second grandfather's house. It was Second Grandma Shen who opened the door. She came home so late. Second Grandma Shen thought something was wrong at her eldest brother and eldest sister-in-law's house. "Shuyu girl, why are you here so late? Is there something wrong at home? Come in and tell me."

Shen Erzhu was still awake. Seeing that the person who came was his niece, he asked, "Shu Yu, what's the matter?"

"Second Grandpa, I came here to tell you something. The child in the cowshed has a fever. I helped take the child to the village doctor for a checkup."

"Have a fever?"

"Yes, he had a high fever. He was delirious and his face was red. He was obviously in great pain, but the little baby didn't cry at all."

"You did the right thing. Okay, I know about it. Go home and rest."

Shen Erzhu was worried about his niece going back alone, so he called out to his eldest grandson, "Jiajun, send your eldest sister back.

"Shu Yu girl, don't go out alone late at night from now on. It's not safe."

Second Madam Shen also said, "Yes, it's not safe for a girl like you to go out at night. You can't do that in the future."

The Shen family army thought that their eldest sister could use her fist to smash a big hole in the wild boar's head, so there was nothing unsafe about the eldest sister coming out.

Shen Shuyu was sent home by her cousin from her second grandfather's house. In fact, after leaving her second grandfather's house, Shen Shuyu told her cousin that there was no need to send her home, but Shen Jiajun insisted on sending her home so that he could report to his superiors.

Shen Shuyu went out secretly. When she went out, she climbed over the wall. When she came back, she naturally climbed over the wall as well. Shen Jiajun watched her climb over the wall and enter the house in one go, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Not long after Shen Shuyu entered the house, Gu Jiandong climbed over the wall and came in.

Returned to the house quietly.

To go buy New Year's goods, Shen Shuyu was pulled up by Shen Qiu at around six o'clock.

"Sister, the New Year is coming soon. We have to go early, otherwise the supply and marketing cooperative will have nothing to sell."

Shen Shuyu got up and put on her clothes one by one. Finally, she put on her military coat and hat before coming out.

To buy New Year's goods, everyone except Old Man Shen and his two sons had to go. Now the ox cart was not easy to move, so they went to the supply and marketing cooperative on a sled.

There were too many people and no room to sit, so Old Man Shen found a dog sled he had made years earlier and put it on Bai Luobo. Gu Jiandong and Shen Shuyu then sat on the dog sled pulled by Bai Luobo.

Shen Shuyu had never ridden a dog sled before, and she found it very novel. As soon as she sat on it, she called out to Bailuobo, "Bailuobo, run."

White Radish grinned, flapped its four legs, and ran very fast, leaving Old Lady Shen and the others behind.

Shen Qiu thought the dog sled pulled by Bailuobo was very cool, and patted the big yellow ox, "Ah Huang, quickly catch up with Bailuobo."

The big yellow ox started working and soon caught up with the white radish. The white radish didn't want to be caught up by the big yellow ox, so it put all its strength into pulling Shen Shuyu, Gu Jiandong and the others to run.

Riding a dog sled was cool, but the white radish was running too fast. Shen Shuyu and Gu Jiandong sat on the dog sled. When they opened their mouths, the cold wind rushed into their mouths and the snow hit their faces. When she spoke to Gu Jiandong, he couldn't hear clearly because his voice was completely drowned out by the wind.
