Shen Mengyin had a fever, and everyone was worried. Sui Zhichao sat at the entrance of the dugout, keeping a close eye on the weather outside. Seeing that the rain had lessened, he quickly said to Zhao Tianshan:

"Captain, let's go take a look. It's been over an hour, and we still don't know what's going on."

"Okay, let's go take a look."

Zhao Tianshan was also very worried. He wanted to know the specific situation. The rain had subsided, but if things didn't improve, he would have to prepare to go to the county town.

"Feng Cheng, let's go take a look together!"

"it is good."

The three of them walked towards the girls' dormitory with umbrellas. The ground was muddy from the rain, and their feet were covered in mud and sand after just a few steps.

"Xuemei, Mengyue..."

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the girls' dormitory, Sui Zhichao started shouting at the top of his lungs.

A short while later, Qin Xuemei, Meng Yue, and Ji Xiurong opened the dormitory door.

"How is Shen Mengyin? Is she feeling any better?"

Qin Xuemei nodded, "I just took her temperature, and it has dropped. It was 38.9°C at first, but it has now dropped to 38.2°C, which is much better than before."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Hearing this, all three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Feng Cheng said, "Her body temperature has temporarily dropped, but we still can't let our guard down. You all need to keep a close eye on her. The worst thing about fever is that it keeps recurring. It's gone down now, but it might come up again later. We can't stop applying towels and wiping her body. Give her the fever-reducing medicine again tonight. One of you should stay here tonight to take care of her in case anything goes wrong."

Qin Xuemei nodded, "I know, we will be careful."

"Da Sui, go find Lao Wei and cook him some millet porridge and steam some egg custard. Shen Mengyin needs some nutrition."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Upon hearing Feng Cheng's instructions, Sui Zhichao immediately went to Wei Fugui's dormitory.

"There's nothing else. You don't need to keep an eye on him all the time. Just check on him every now and then. If there are any problems, remember to call us right away."

"it is good."

"Okay, Lao Zhao, let's go back first!"

Feng Cheng called out to Zhao Tianshan and then turned and walked back into the dormitory.

"It has to be the section chief. Without him, we wouldn't know what to do."

As Ji Xiurong watched Feng Cheng and Zhao Tianshan's departing figures, she couldn't help but sigh.

Meng Yue also said, "Yes, I never thought about what we would do if we didn't have fever reducers. When I found out that Meng Yin had a fever, I was completely stunned."

Ji Xiurong said, "That's why it's always the men who come in handy at crucial moments. If it weren't for the section chief, we probably would have all had to brave the rain to take Mengyin down to the county town."

Hearing this, Meng Yue really wanted to say that Yan Xiangli was rather useless. Shen Mengyin was sick, and he didn't even come to see her or show any concern.

"But this section chief is really amazing. He knows everything. I used to think Zhao Jinquan was exaggerating, but now it seems he really is. He can even treat illnesses."

Qin Xuemei spoke up, "Let's not stand here chatting, let's go back first!"

...

That evening, while eating in the cafeteria, everyone asked about Shen Mengyin's situation.

"Don't worry, everyone. Mengyin's fever has subsided. We just took her temperature, and it's only 37°C. She's also awake and is resting in her room now."

"It's good that you got a refund; it would be troublesome if you didn't."

"We also have to thank the section chief for the medicine and methods, otherwise Mengyin's illness would definitely not have healed so quickly."

"By the way, Section Chief, do you always keep medicine on hand?" Ji Xiurong asked curiously.

Feng Cheng nodded, "Yes, we can treat simple colds, fevers, headaches, and minor ailments, as well as minor skin injuries."

"However, many of the medicines are about to expire, so I need to go downstairs and buy some to replace them, otherwise the medicines won't be effective."

Meng Yue praised, "Section Chief, you are so thoughtful. We didn't even think of preparing some medicine."

Feng Cheng laughed and said, "There's no way around it. In a place like Saihanba, you have to consider everything, otherwise it's really easy for accidents to happen."

Zhao Tianshan nodded and said, "Feng Cheng, you're right. I didn't think this through. In the next couple of days, let's compile a list of what medicines we need to prepare. We can't treat serious illnesses here, but for simple colds, fevers, sprains, and the like, we at least need something to treat them."

“We don’t need to pay for this medicine ourselves. I’ll submit an application and have the bureau dispense it for us.”

"That's good. This incident has given us a warning, and we need to have a solution in case something happens again."

Feng Cheng said, "Alright, let's eat first. We'll check on Shen Mengyin's condition tomorrow. If she's better, we won't say anything more. If she keeps relapsing, we'll have to go to the county town."

That evening, Sui Zhichao and Zhao Jinquan were working on his dressing table in the dugout. He had been working on it for several days and had finished most of the work. Now all that was left was to set up the mirror.

Feng Cheng looked at the large rectangular mirror and shook his head, saying, "You also have such a big mirror standing up, and it's so square, it looks terrible!"

Sui Zhichao said, "I also think it looks ugly, but there's nothing I can do. This is the only kind of mirror I can buy. The supply and marketing cooperative doesn't sell mirrors of any other shape! I was thinking of buying it and then figuring out how to cut it, but I was afraid of breaking the mirror, so I can only make do with it like this."

Feng Cheng thought for a moment, then made a suggestion, "You can do this: add two wooden boards behind it, lower the mirror a little, and then replace the top beam with a circular arc frame to enclose the mirror. That way, the mirror will appear round. It doesn't have to be round; an oval or a rhombus shape would also work, and they would all look better than your perfectly square one."

After listening to Feng Cheng's description, Sui Zhichao thought about the effect of doing it this way and found that it would indeed look much better than how he did it.

"Then I'll change it!"

"Change it, otherwise it looks so bad, people might not even want it if you give it to them."

Sui Zhichao chuckled and said, "I'm not giving it away; I'm keeping it in my room for my own use."

Feng Cheng nodded, "Yes, once we marry her, those things will come back, and we can keep them in our own rooms."

Sui Zhichao's lips immediately curled into a smile. Feng Cheng's words made him very happy. Although he hadn't originally thought so, he now felt that it seemed to be true.

After spending more than an hour doing carpentry, Sui Zhichao went to the girls' dormitory to ask about Shen Mengyin's condition, whether her fever had recurred, and whether she wanted to eat something else.

Qin Xuemei directly sent him away, saying that they would take good care of him and that he didn't need to worry too much.

Sui Zhichao was a little uneasy not seeing anyone, but he didn't dare to stand at the entrance of the girls' dormitory late at night, so he had no choice but to leave.
