Su Jianan promised Tang Yulan and hung up the phone, but she still couldn't help but urge the driver to drive faster.
She was very worried about Xiangyi.
Xiangyi is different from ordinary children—she has congenital asthma.
A common cold may be just an accident to the average child.
But for Xiangyi, any discomfort is a test of fate.
At this time, Su Jianan did not allow herself to be away from her children.
"Madam, don't worry." The driver comforted Su Jian'an and assured, "I will take you home as quickly as possible while ensuring safety."
Su Jianan nodded and clasped his hands tightly.
After more than half an hour's drive, Su Jianan felt as if she had suffered for more than half a century.
As soon as the car stopped in front of her house, Su Jianan got out of the car and ran home without even having time to close the car door.
As soon as I stepped into the house, I heard Xiangyi crying.
The little girl didn't cry or make a fuss, she just hummed in Tang Yulan's arms, her voice sounded extremely pitiful.
Probably because of the discomfort, the little girl seemed very lethargic.
While Su Jianan was changing her shoes, she called the little girl: "Xiangyi."
Xiao Xiangyi subconsciously looked at the door, and when she saw Su Jianan, tears suddenly fell down: "Mom..."
Su Jianan's heart felt as if she had been pricked by a needle. She came over, hugged the little one, and touched her forehead: "Good boy, mom is back."
Xiao Xiangyi snuggled into Su Jianan's arms and said aggrievedly, "Yeah."
At this time, Xi Yu's voice came from upstairs: "Mom!"
Xi Yu wanted to go downstairs, but was stopped by Aunt Liu. He flexibly broke away from Aunt Liu's shackles, but Aunt Liu couldn't stop him at all.
Aunt Liu had no choice but to coax the little guy: "Xi Yu is good, let's play upstairs, okay?"
"No!"
Xiao Xiyu decisively refused, grabbing the railing of the stairs and struggling to go down.
Tang Yulan said: "I was afraid that Xiangyi's cold would be transmitted to Xiyu, so I asked Aunt Liu to carry him up, but he didn't want to stay upstairs."
Su Jianan couldn't care about Xi Yu for the moment and asked, "Has Xiangyi taken your temperature?"
"The family doctor just measured it." Tang Yulan said, "It's close to 38 degrees, a low fever."
Su Jianan kissed the little girl in her arms and coaxed her: "Xiangyi, mommy is going to see my brother. You and grandma stay here, okay?"
Xiao Xiangyi said "yes" obediently and let go of Su Jian'an.
Su Jianan walked upstairs, and Xi Yu finally stopped fighting with Aunt Liu and called "Mom" and stretched out his hand for Su Jianan to hug her.
Aunt Liu was panting from exhaustion, waved her hands and said, "Xi Yu is so strong. After a while, I won't be his opponent."
Su Jianan smiled, squatted down, and her first reaction was to touch Xi Yu's forehead.
As soon as she touched it, she realized something was wrong.
The temperature coming from the palm of my hand was obviously much higher than the normal temperature.
Su Jianan asked: "Aunt Liu, has the family doctor taken Xiyu's temperature?"
"I've measured it. Xi Yu and Xiang Yi measured it together. The doctor said that Xi Yu's temperature is normal." Aunt Liu noticed something was wrong from Su Jian'an's expression and asked uncertainly, "Is Xi Yu also having a fever..."
"It seems so." Su Jianan picked up Xi Yu and said, "Aunt Liu, go help me get the thermometer at home."
"Okay." Aunt Liu hurriedly ran away.
Su Jianan carried Xi Yu downstairs and told Tang Yulan: "Xi Yu seems to have a fever too."
"...How could it be?" Tang Yulan looked surprised, "As soon as Xiangyi gets a fever, I won't let them stay together."
With two children at home, what she fears most is this kind of cross-infection, and Tang Yulan has tried her best to avoid it.
Su Jian'an was not sure, so she pressed her forehead against Xi Yu's forehead again, feeling that it was even hotter than before.
However, Xi Yu is a boy after all, much stronger than his sister, and there is nothing unusual about him on the surface.
"How is it?" Tang Yulan asked anxiously, "Do you really have a fever?"
Su Jianan nodded, feeling distressed and helpless: "I really have a fever."
At this time, Aunt Liu happened to bring the thermometer over, and Su Jianan took the opportunity to measure Xi Yu. It was thirty-seven degrees eight, which was almost the same as Xiangyi.
Xi Yu probably felt uncomfortable and crawled into Su Jianan's arms.
Tang Yulan blamed herself: "The weather has obviously gotten warmer these days, and I am usually very careful. Why did the two little guys catch a cold?"
"Children have weak immunity, and it's normal to catch colds during alternating periods of cold and warm." Su Jian'an comforted the old lady, "It's okay, just take good care of them these days and they'll be fine."
Tang Yulan nodded, thought of something, and said, "Give Xi Yu the fever-reducing patch."
Su Jian'an tore off a piece of fever-reducing patch and tried to put it on Xi Yu's forehead, but the little guy dodged and blocked Su Jian'an's hand. His rejection was obvious.
"Xi Yu, good boy, this won't hurt." Su Jian'an coaxed the little guy, "Mom, put you on it, okay?"
Xiao Xiyu shook his head and stood up to run away.
Su Jianan hurriedly took the little guy back and pointed at Xiangyi's hand: "Look, my sister is sticking to it."
Xiangyi can always play a role at critical moments. When Su Jianan called her name, she called out softly: "Brother."
"..." Xi Yu looked at his sister with a confused look on his face.
Su Jianan realized that the opportunity had come, and continued to coax Xi Yu: "Xi Yu, be good, mommy will help you put it on first. If you feel uncomfortable, mommy will help you take it off, okay?"
Xi Yu blinked his eyes, but finally did not resist, and obediently let Su Jianan put the fever-reducing patch on his forehead.
The little guy wasn't used to having something on his forehead. He raised his eyes and looked up, but couldn't see anything. In the end, he had to touch the fever-reducing patch on his forehead with his hand. Su Jianan stopped him before tearing it off.
When Xiangyi saw her brother sticking something similar to hers, she smiled and came over and touched her brother's forehead.
Su Jian'an took out a small mirror for touch-up makeup from her bag and let the two little guys take a look at herself. As a result, the two little guys laughed in unison.
When a child feels uncomfortable, adults become anxious, mostly because they see the child looking listless and uncomfortable.
When Xiyu and Xiangyi smiled like this, Su Jianan felt a lot more relaxed.
Lu Boyan seemed to have calculated the time correctly and called at this moment to ask how the two little guys were doing.
"Fortunately, they are all low-grade fevers, not serious. The fever will be reduced by applying the anti-fever patch." Su Jian'an said, "You work hard and don't worry, my mother and I will take good care of them."
Lu Boyan's attention was all focused on a certain word in the first half of Su Jianan's sentence - Du.
He frowned: "Xi Yu also has a fever?"
Su Jianan said "hmm" and said, "I didn't find out until I got home. But Xi Yu is in good condition, don't worry."
How could Lu Boyan feel relieved and said, "I'm about to get off work and I'll be back later."
"Okay, you get busy first."
Su Jianan hung up the phone, put the phone aside, turned all her attention to the two little guys, and asked them to drink some water from time to time.
Xiangyi was not as lively as usual and had to be held by Tang Yulan or Su Jianan most of the time. Xiyu was not affected at all, and he continued to play as he should, except that he would touch the fever-reducing patch on his forehead from time to time.
Before six o'clock, Lu Boyan came back.
Xiangyi always liked to act coquettishly with Lu Boyan, humming and asking Lu Boyan to hug him.
Lu Boyan picked up the two little guys and touched their hands, which were obviously much hotter than usual.
Xi Yu didn't know whether he was tired from playing or had a worse fever, but he suddenly lay in Lu Boyan's arms without saying a word.
Su Jianan took the temperature of the two little ones every forty-five minutes, but fortunately no increase was found.
Lu Boyan called the family doctor. The family doctor replied that there was no need to go to the hospital for the time being, but he had to be careful when sleeping at night as a high fever might break out. Lu Boyan asked Lu Boyan to think of a way to get the two little guys to drink more water.
Su Jianan had been coaxing the two little guys to drink water. They probably drank too much. At night, the two little guys were unwilling to drink. They even refused to drink milk and just barely ate half an orange.
Su Jian'an didn't force herself. She took the two little ones to take a bath. After the bath, she brought the milk over and coaxed them to sleep.
Xiangyi pushed the bottle away, shook his head, and said he didn't want to drink it.
Xi Yu felt better, but he only took a few sips and pushed away.
Su Jianan tried her best to coax, but it was still useless. She could only helplessly cast a look of help at Tang Yulan and Lu Boyan.
"It doesn't matter." Tang Yulan said, "Let them sleep first. When they wake up later, they will naturally drink when they are hungry."
Su Jian'an thought it made sense, nodded, and coaxed the two little guys to sleep.
However, the two little guys didn't know whether they were not sleepy or unwilling to sleep. They kept clinging to Lu Boyan and Su Jian'an and refused to leave even half a step, let alone sleep.
After all, Tang Yulan had experience and said, "Jian An, take Xi Yu and Xiang Yi back to your room and try."
Su Jianan felt like she understood, and she and Lu Boyan carried the two little guys back to the master bedroom.
The two little guys were indeed more obedient. They got into bed and closed their eyes, and fell asleep after a while.
Su Jianan took their temperatures again and found they still had low fevers.
But it was lucky that it didn't turn into a high fever.
Su Jianan brought all the bottles, milk powder and other things for the two little ones to the room, so that even if they woke up hungry in the middle of the night, they could drink milk quickly.
After all this work, it is still very early.
Su Jianan thought of Tang Yulan, walked out of the room, and found Tang Yulan in the living room downstairs.
She walked down and said, "Mom, you're not going back tonight, are you?"
"I'll stay." Tang Yulan said, "I'm worried that like the family doctor said, Xiyu and Xiangyi will have a high fever in the middle of the night. I can help by staying."
"I just took their temperatures and they are very stable." Su Jian'an reassured Tang Yulan, "You have a good night's rest. Don't worry about Xi Yu and Xiang Yi. Bo Yan and I are here."
Tang Yulan nodded and warned: "You and Boyan should go to bed early. Xiyu and Xiangyi will wake up later and they will be busy with some work."
"good."
Su Jian'an nodded, said good night to Tang Yulan, and turned to go upstairs.
