escape the moon

The weather forecast says the temperature will drop in 14 hours.The sun was almost supported by the horizon in the southwest corner, and the thin and lonely clouds were soaked into a muddy rotten orange color.Shen Yizhen took the washed quilt to the rooftop and ran into her neighbor Fangjiang.

Fang Jiang works in the theater and is a member of the dance troupe: "Brother Shen doesn't need to work overtime this weekend?"

Shen Yizhen: "TOEFL. Is your tour over?"

"I hope too." The theater has to travel all over the country, and many times it also has to perform sympathy performances on the front line, like a nomad, which is not an easy job.Fangjiang smiled wryly: "I just received a new notice yesterday. In order to celebrate the reunification, a new drama will be scheduled. It must be staged smoothly before the new year. From this month onwards, weekends will only be closed. No leave is allowed unless there are special circumstances. It has been arranged. The show at a good time is still going on as planned.”

"I have to give some overtime pay, right?"

"It's just a drop in the bucket. Those who can get the salary are not enough, and we have to pay part of the cost for the costumes. If we go to the hospital once, we will be bankrupt."

Shen Yizhen was speechless, he thought these actors earned a lot of money.

Fang Jiang took out a new clothes hanger from the clothes basket: "I borrowed you a clothes hanger last time, return it to you, thank you."

Shen Yizhen waved her hand: "You don't need to be so polite."

The little girl put the hanger into his clothes basket: "I'm always taken care of by you, and I'm quite embarrassed. I've been in a daze since I was a child, and it's the first time I've left home. Thanks to you, Brother Shen." She originally went to school in the second district, and the system assignment should also work in the second district. The theater here is really short of manpower, so she started to coordinate manpower from various districts. She was recruited because of her outstanding performance.It is not easy for a girl to live alone in a rented house away from relatives and friends.

Shen Yizhen teased her: "No wonder, the last time the power outage broke the plate, I thought it was a child crying."

Fang Jiang's face turned red, she was a bit neurotic, easily nervous and frightened.The daily necessities were not well-prepared when I first moved in. The power outage happened after the sun went down, so I couldn’t see my fingers. There were no candles in the house.If Shen Yizhen hadn't knocked on the door to ask, she would still be crying.

"I've agreed to thank you. Every time, if you are busy with overtime, or I can't come back from the outside, I plan to make some red bean soup at noon, let's eat together." Fangjiang said hesitantly: "The craftsmanship is average, you Just don't be disgusted."

Today is Sunday, and Shen Yizhen has no special arrangements: "Why? It's too late to be happy."

As a result, the bowl of red bean soup was already on the table, but Shen Yizhen's communicator rang.

It was the upstart Minister of Night: "Come to No. 4 Cassini Street. Alice had a high fever and said she wanted to hear the story of the little tadpole looking for her mother. I searched all over the mansion, but no one knew what tadpole was looking for her mother. She Say you told her."

Shen Yizhen walked to the window and lowered her voice: "It's useless to seek a doctor if you have a high fever, but it's useless to seek me."

Xiaoshan's throat was burning with anxiety: "Where are you? What are you doing?"

"I'm having dinner at a friend's house."

"Tell him you have to work overtime, go downstairs in 15 minutes, and I'll send someone to pick you up."

Shen Yizhen also said that the phone had been hung up with a snap, which was in line with Minister Xiao's arbitrary style.Shen Yizhen's face was a bit bitter, and she had already started pulling people to work before she officially changed jobs.

Fang Jiang came out of the kitchen and saw him holding the communicator: "Don't tell me you have to work overtime."

Shen Yizhen smiled apologetically: "I'm really sorry, I really have to leave, the car is already downstairs. I'll come back and bring you oranges."

Fangjiang sighed and packed the lunch box: "Anyway, I made too much, take it back to the office and eat, don't be hungry."

Shen Yizhen was also reluctant to take it, and showed up at the official residence at No. 4 Cassini Street with a large two-tiered lunch box. Xiaoshan glared at the lunch box and asked him to take it away immediately. He didn't even eat a bite and even the lunch box was robbed.

Alice was flushed with fever, lying weakly on the bed, sucking air into her body like a desperate balloon, and then spitting it out again.Seeing the child's appearance, Shen Yizhen immediately softened her heart, and sat by the bed and held her hand.

"Brother," Alice opened her eyes, she was very happy to see him: "I'm so cold."

Shen Yizhen touched her forehead, it was hot: "Baby has a fever, be good, we have to follow the doctor's advice and take injections and medicine."

Alice shook her head: "Can you tell me the story of the little tadpole looking for his mother again?"

Shen Yizhen made a deal with her: "Let's see the doctor first, and then tell the story of the little tadpole looking for his mother, and then tell a story about Little Red Riding Hood."

The poor little girl thought about it, and agreed aggrievedly.

The doctor waited outside the bedroom for a long time, but Alice refused to allow Shen Yizhen to leave the bed for half a step, so Secretary Shen had to accompany her throughout the examination.According to the nanny's description, she coughed twice before going to bed last night. The nanny wanted to call a doctor, but she said she was sleepy and didn't want to see anyone again.The nanny thought maybe it was just a sore throat, and it would not be too late to see a doctor tomorrow, but the next morning it was seven o'clock before she got up, and the nanny knocked on the door and came in and found that she had started to have a fever.The doctor came once and gave some cold medicine. At noon, not only was the body temperature not under control, but it rose higher and higher until Xiaoshan called Shen Yizhen.

"I think it's a seasonal cold," said the doctor. "The sun is about to set, the temperature is dropping rapidly, and the radiation is also changing. Children's resistance is not strong enough, so they are prone to colds. From the results of blood tests, The white blood cells are relatively low, but other things are fine, it should be a common bacterial infection, the throat is red and swollen and inflamed, take antipyretics first, then anti-inflammatory drugs and cold medicines."

Xiaoshan asked: "What if the body temperature rises again at night? She has an important schedule tomorrow."

The doctor shook his head: "It's better not to be too tired. Her physique is worse than that of ordinary children. It's best to rest for two days and wait until she recovers. Otherwise, it's easy to have repeated fever."

Shen Yizhen and Xiaoshan who were standing next to each other looked at each other without speaking.

The doctor went to get the medicine first, and the two adults stayed anxiously in the room.If Alice can't attend tomorrow's United Front Conference, then this meeting is basically unnecessary.Only she can have the effect of boosting morale and uniting the hearts of the people, and anyone else will be greatly reduced.If she is allowed to take the stage with illness, if she shows her feet, she still doesn't know what kind of public opinion reaction she will cause. Whether it is necessary to take this risk is debatable.

"Should I report the situation to the commander immediately?" Shen Yizhen said softly.

Needless to say, Xiaoshan has already sent a report: "He knows, he asked me to guarantee that the child must attend."

"Don't be anxious, the doctor said, it's just a common bacterial infection, maybe it will go away after taking antipyretics once. I also have a fever sometimes, and I'll be fine after taking antipyretics and getting a good night's sleep."

"Didn't you hear the doctor say that she has a particularly poor constitution and insufficient resistance? A child has a fever, especially a child of her age. It is very troublesome. It is normal to have a fever for a few days."

Shen Yizhen can also see that Alice's health is really bad, she doesn't even have the strength to cough, and the milk cat can bark louder than her.After all, this child was not born on the moon. The body did not adapt to the strange environment, which caused such frail and sickly conditions.If things go on like this, this time she can do her best to survive the United Front Conference, but it's hard to say whether she can survive so many schedules and so many jobs.

The pupils are taken, the story is edited, the speech is prepared... After all the calculations, I can't prevent it from being a sick child.Shen Yizhen suddenly realized that this problem was very serious.Xiaoshan wanted to go with him, and he motioned for the two to leave/the room and talk in the corridor.

Shen Yizhen also felt strange: "Didn't it mean that the living environment of the earth is worse? To be able to be born and survive under such conditions, I don't think the physique should be too bad."

The reason is very simple. If the living environment of the earth is better than that of the moon, human beings will not move. Since the risky choice of relocation must be that the earth is no longer suitable for living.

"That was 600 years ago, have you ever been to what the earth is like now?" Xiaoshan glanced at him.

Shen Yizhen said, "Then what do you think next?"

"Just take this opportunity to give her a full-body examination. We need to know exactly what's going on with her body." Xiaoshan said, "In case her body really can't adapt, we must prepare a plan as soon as possible."

"If she still burns at the meeting on Monday..."

"It's really not possible. I'll take another fever-reducing medicine tomorrow morning. The makeup artist must be in place to prevent her face from being too ugly. You spend more time with her today and don't put too much pressure on her. At least you must read the manuscript well and don't make mistakes or omissions." .”

"She has a sore throat, and it's not good to read such a long speech. Should it be shortened appropriately? I can be responsible for the revision."

"The manuscript is here with me, we will read it together when she falls asleep."

The word "work together" appeared in Shen Yizhen's head, and he could only find "sin" to deal with.Fate may really exist, Shen Yizhen naively thought that after the encounter five years ago, there would be no chance to contact Xiaoshan again, God made such a big joke on him in a blink of an eye.

"I'll stay with you, I haven't told the story yet." He left this sentence and left in a hurry.

Alice finally waited for her beloved little tadpole to find her mother, and she behaved well when she took the medicine.After Xiaoshan communicated with the doctor about his work, when he came back, he saw a roomful of people listening to Secretary Shen's story about Little Red Riding Hood with bated breath.

Shen Yizhen was holding a paper with an animal drawn on it, which looked a bit like a dog, but looked more ferocious than a dog.Even the nanny listened raptly.

"Is this a dog?" Xiaoshan pointed to the animal.

Alice put her finger on her lips and made a quiet gesture: "This is the big bad wolf, uncle, don't talk, listen to brother."

Xiaoshan was very dissatisfied, why is he an uncle and Shen Yizhen is an elder brother?

Shen Yizhen continued: "...Little Red Riding Hood has never seen the wolf before, and she doesn't know that he is a bad guy, so she is not afraid at all. She also greeted him and said: 'Hello, Mr. Wolf.' The wolf thought to himself , this little girl looks delicious, I can pretend to be amiable, trick her, and let her fall into the trap."

Alice frowned, clasping her hands tightly.

"Don't be afraid," Shen Yizhen nodded her nose: "This story tells us, don't just look at the surface of a person or a thing, but learn more and understand more. If Little Red Riding Hood knew the wolf beforehand, then she could escape .”

"Why doesn't Little Red Riding Hood know the big bad wolf?" the little girl asked.

Shen Yizhen smiled: "Maybe because she is too young, no one told her."

Xiaoshan couldn't help interjecting: "Where did you hear these strange stories? It's a wolf and a tadpole."

Shen Yizhen didn't answer, but tucked the quilt up for the little girl, and touched her slightly sweaty forehead.The fever-reducing medicine was working, and she began to sweat, which meant that her temperature would drop soon.The nanny just fed some oatmeal, and her appetite is not bad, which is a good thing.

"Children are tired of hearing too many stories about heroes and heroes all day long. It's just a matter of changing something new." Shen Yizhen said.

The story of Little Red Riding Hood was over, and the honest hunter rescued Little Red Riding Hood and grandmother from the wolf's stomach, and together they filled the wolf's stomach with stones, and made him roll down the cliff and be smashed to pieces.The little girl was very satisfied with the ending.

"Brother, when can we go see the little tadpoles?" She leaned on a big pillow, her face was small and cute.

Shen Yizhen patted her on the chest: "Baby recover from illness first, shall we go and see the little tadpole in good health?"

She agreed, and soon fell asleep peacefully.

The adults are busy until the early hours of the morning.The lights of the official residence at No. 4 Cassini Street were always on. It was already 02:30 in the morning when Shen Yizhen printed out the final version of his speech. He went to the bedroom to check on the child. Alice's temperature still rose, but not as high as at noon.When Xiaoshan came in, Secretary Shen was lying on the edge of the bed, sleeping peacefully, he just woke up when he picked him up, looking at him in horror.

Xiao Shan signaled him to be quiet so as not to wake up the children.The nannies will take turns keeping watch at night, so there is no need for a secretary to lie on the bedside all night, and those who don't know will think that he is treating his subordinates harshly.

Shen Yizhen didn't dare to say anything, and she didn't know how this stiff performance pleased General Xiao. The one holding him seemed in a very good mood.

Xiaoshan likes to see him guarding the child, thinking that they will share the responsibility of raising the little girl, every pore of his body feels extremely comfortable.

*About the setting of the article:

1: Time on the moon: A day and night on the moon is almost equivalent to a month on the earth, but this article still uses 24 hours as a day.So there will be this situation in the following text: the protagonist goes out in the morning, but it is dark, because one night on the moon is equivalent to almost two weeks on the earth.

2: The love nest of a family of three "Mansion No. 4 Cassini Street" is named after the French astronomer Giovanni Cassini, who was the first to discover the law of the moon's rotation.
