Stay away from beasts in the world of Siheyuan

Xu Changping lowered his head and entered the low side room. He squinted his eyes to adjust to the light inside, and then he found that there was an old lady in the room.

Judging from her appearance, Xu Changping guessed that she was here to help Qin Huairu with her confinement after childbirth.

Xu Changping didn't say hello to her. He just nodded and turned his gaze to Qin Huairu, whose face was flushed on the bed.

Looking at her expression, Xu Changping knew that when they left the hospital in the afternoon, Jia Zhang did not take any measures to keep Qin Huairu warm.

It’s said that people are different. They all went home after giving birth, but nothing happened to Bai Yingying and her daughter.

He didn't reach out to feel her pulse, but took out a mercury thermometer from his pocket, shook it, handed it to the aunt and said, "Auntie, put this under her armpit."

After watching the old lady finish her work according to his instructions, Xu Changping finally had the leisure to look around the room.

Maybe it was because I came back to stay there at night, the room was empty. There was no stool except a bed.

As he watched, Xu Changping suddenly discovered a problem: Where are the children?

Where is the baby Qin Huairu gave birth to this afternoon? She is so young, I wonder if she is sick.

Thinking of this, Xu Changping asked, "Auntie, where is the baby that Sister-in-law Jia gave birth to this afternoon?"

"The child is sleeping in my room. I don't dare to bring him over like this, Huairu!"

As the aunt spoke, she looked at Qin Huairu, whose face was red from the fever, with pity in her eyes.

I couldn't help but curse in my heart: Jia Zhang is such an old hag. After her daughter-in-law gave birth, she just threw the baby here and didn't even take a look at it.

"That's good." Xu Changping nodded, then looked down at his watch and said, "Take out the thermometer."

Facing the dim light, Xu Changping carefully looked at the number on the thermometer before saying to the aunt:

"She does have a slight fever, but she's fine. Give her a pill to reduce the fever. Don't breastfeed her for the time being."

"I also want to give her antipyretic medicine, but what can I do if the child won't open her mouth?" The aunt looked at Qin Huairu with some concern.

"Just grind the antipyretic medicine into powder and mix it with water before drinking it." Xu Changping glanced at Qin Huairu and said with a smile.

"Then I'll try it now." The aunt stood up and went home to find antipyretic medicine.

Seeing this, Xu Changping smiled and said to Yi Zhonghai: "Uncle, if there is nothing else, I will go back first."

"Thank you for your help today, Xiao Xu. When Qin Huairu gets better, I'll ask her to thank you properly." Yi Zhonghai sent Xu Changping out the door and hurried back to the house to see Qin Huairu.

Xu Changping stood at the gate of the central courtyard for a while, and happened to see an old lady holding a cup of water and hurriedly going to the next door.

He didn't believe that after spending such a long time together, an old lady wouldn't be unaware of the mess between Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu.

Xu Changping didn't understand why she saw an old lady working so hard to take care of her during her confinement at Qinhuai Home Inn.

Although he didn't understand the aunt's behavior, Xu Changping chose to respect her. After all, how can you understand the joy of a fish if you are not a fish? The aunt might be enjoying it.

After returning home, Xu Changping took off his coat and washed up again. Then he picked up the tea box he had just put down, made himself a cup of black tea, and sat on the sofa to drink it.

Putting down the teacup, Xu Changping rubbed his eyebrows, relaxed himself, then got up and went back to the bedroom to rest.

The next day, when Xu Changping was pushing his bicycle out of the courtyard, he ran into Yan Jiecheng, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Xu Changping glanced at the other person and frowned.

Yan Jiecheng, who had been full of energy and vigor before, now looked distraught as if he had no idea what had happened.

He didn't even look at Xu Changping and walked into the yard like a wandering soul.

As it was time to go to work, Xu Changping did not bother to find out what had happened. He just got on his bike and went to the steel mill.

There were quite a lot of patients today, and Xu Changping was busy for a while before he had time to rest.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Li Huaide's secretary came up.

"Director Xu, our director wants you to come over."

"Now?" Xu Changping put down the teacup in his hand, looked up at the other party in confusion.

Although Xu Changping's expression did not change, he was somewhat unhappy in his heart.

What the hell is this Li Huaide doing? He sent someone to call him over during working hours. Does he treat him as a personal doctor?

"Well, the director has a social engagement later, so he only has time now." Li Huaide's secretary replied with a smile on his face.

"Okay, I'll put on my coat." Xu Changping had no choice but to stand up, put on his coat, and followed the other party out of the infirmary.

On the way, Xu Changping asked, "Director Li, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Director Xu, I don't know about that." The secretary quickly shook his head. How could he guess what the director was thinking?

But it was probably a good thing. After all, when Director Li sent him to invite Director Xu, his tone was very relaxed.

There was no conversation along the way, and soon the two arrived at the door of Li Huaide's office.

The secretary stepped forward and knocked on the door, saying, "Director, I'm here to invite Director Xu."

"Let him in." Li Huaide's voice was very steady, and the secretary responded by opening the door for Xu Changping.

After closing the office door, Xu Changping walked to the desk and asked Li Huaide with a smile, "Director Li, what good news do you want to talk to me about?"

"You know what, this is really good news. Look what this is." Li Huaide pointed at Xu Changping in the air, and then pushed an envelope towards him.

Xu Changping picked up the envelope with a puzzled look and opened it to read it.

After a moment, the smile on Xu Changping's face widened a little, and he thanked Li Huaide repeatedly.

It turned out to be a registration form for the accounting class after the New Year. Li Huaide knew that Xu Changping had always wanted his young fiancée to take over his mother's class, so he asked for one after seeing it.

After putting away the registration form, Xu Changping, who had come to the party, said to Li Huaide, "Director Li, since I'm here today, let me check your pulse."

After saying that, he took out a pulse pillow from his pocket and placed it on Li Huaide's desk.

"You are a person who thinks too much." The moment the pulse pillow was placed on the desk, Li Huaide figured out what Xu Changping was thinking when he came here before.

But he was not angry. After all, when he sent people over, he did not tell them clearly what the matter was.

Xu Changping was afraid that Li Huaide might have some grudges, so he quickly said with a smile:

"Oh, Director Li, you don't know me yet. This is all I have, and the infirmary doesn't allow its use. I can only show it to you in private."

"Cheng Cheng Cheng, you are really good at talking."

Li Huaide was stunned by Xu Changping's sudden show of weakness, then he smiled and stretched out his hand and placed it on the pulse pillow.

Xu Changping placed three fingers on his wrist and took them off after a few minutes.
