Luo Xiangdong was seriously ill, and even simple actions like sitting up from bed were all done with my help. Seeing how pitiful he was, I couldn't help but ask aloud: "How about I bring the food upstairs and you can eat it in bed?"
Unexpectedly, Luo Xiangdong didn't even think about it, and immediately refused: "Forget it, the food smells all over the house." It's been a while, but he is still thinking about this.
I helped him lift the quilt, almost helped him stand up, and then walked downstairs.
When I left the bedroom door, I grabbed a blanket.
Luo Xiangdong came to the living room, sat down on the sofa, and leaned back, as if he was exhausted.
I covered him with a blanket, then bent down to open the takeout bag on the coffee table, took out all the food inside, and placed it in front of Luo Xiangdong.
Having eaten with Luo Xiangdong so many times, I know his taste very well, and I order all the dishes he likes.
Luo Xiangdong looked at the food on the table, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said: "People always eat light food when they are sick. What do you think you bought?"
I took a look, spicy chicken, double pepper beef, spicy cod, stir-fried lotus root, even the tofu was all red.
I said: "People who are sick have no appetite, and they don't want to eat anything when they see the bland food. When I was sick at home, the food cooked at home smelled heavier than usual, and the chili peppers made me sweat. You wouldn't want to go to the hospital if you didn't go to the hospital." Gotta sweat it out at home.”
With that said, I handed the chopsticks to Luo Xiangdong's hand and said, "Let's eat."
After Luo Xiangdong's illness, his temperament dropped directly from tiger to cat. I handed him the chopsticks and he took them obediently. I sat next to him and gave him instructions: "Eat some tofu first to whet your appetite."
Luo Xiangdong put a piece of tofu in the bowl and took a bite with the white rice.
I asked: "How is it? Does it taste good?"
Luo Xiangdong frowned slightly and replied after a few seconds: "My throat hurts a little."
I said, "It's okay. I bought you anti-inflammatory medicine. You eat first. After eating, I'll give you the medicine. Just keep it and sleep."
Maybe our family is big-hearted, unlike other families where children would be frightened if they caught a cold or a fever or something. In my impression, the few times I got sick and had a fever, I was cured with just one meal from my mother.
That's why I say that people are as good as iron rice and steel. No matter what happens, you can't let your stomach panic.
Luo Xiangdong ate very slowly at first, probably because he had a headache and a fever, and his throat was uncomfortable. But under my urging, he moved his chopsticks more frequently. At the end of the meal, I found that he was no different from a normal person, and he ate the entire box of lunch.
There was a lot of sweat on his forehead and on the bridge of his nose. I took out the tissue and handed it to him. He wiped it and threw the blanket aside. I quickly got up and brought it back, covered him, and said, "You are sweating now, don't catch a cold again."
Luo Xiangdong said: "I feel much better, but my head still hurts a little."
I said, "You can only have enough food to be energetic to fight the virus. If you sit here for half an hour, you will have to wait for a while before taking the medicine."
Having said that, I bent down and packed away the various boxes on the table. Knowing that Luo Xiangdong couldn't heat the food at home, I simply packed up the rest and threw them away.
After cleaning up, I felt embarrassed.
In such a big house, Luo Xiangdong and I are the only two people, a man and a woman...
After thinking about it again and again, I felt that it was still inappropriate to consume any more. I placed various medicines in front of Luo Xiangdong, and I introduced to him one by one which ones were responsible for what, when to take them, how much to take at one time, and when to take them next time...
Luo Xiangdong sat on the sofa with a blanket. Hearing this, he frowned and said, "Stop talking about it. I won't remember it even if you do."
I secretly added in my mind, are you suffering from dementia
But of course I didn't dare to say this blatantly. Looking at Luo Xiangdong, I replied: "Then I'll take out the medicine and you can just take it later."
Luo Xiangdong didn't answer but asked: "Are you in a hurry to leave?"
I paused for a moment, then shook my head and replied, "There's no rush."
Luo Xiangdong said: "If you're not in a hurry, just stay here."
My heart is beating wildly. Do you want me to stay here? So what do I do
Just as he was thinking about it, Luo Xiangdong said: "I will go upstairs to sleep after taking the medicine later. I will treat you to dinner in the evening."
I subconsciously replied, "No need."
Luo Xiangdong looked at me, and I continued: "You have been protecting me like this. It's not easy for you to get sick once. I said it was right. Just treat it as a small favor to repay you. You don't have to rush to invite me back." ”
Luo Xiangdong's face turned pale because of his illness. Hearing this, he said: "Whoever wants to treat you back, I have to eat even if you don't want to. Why are you so polite?"
I pursed my lower lip, not knowing what to say.
The living room was extremely quiet. We were both sitting on the sofa, and there was nothing to talk about. I racked my brains, and out of the corner of my eye I caught a glimpse of the huge LED TV opposite, and asked aloud: "Brother Dong, can you watch TV?"
Luo Xiangdong hummed: "You can drive it yourself."
In fact, I just wanted to find something else to do to relieve the current embarrassment. Unexpectedly, when I turned on the TV, a cross talk sketch was playing.
I love watching this, so I simply put down the remote control and sat on the sofa with a pillow to watch.
"Ha..." At first I just laughed accidentally. After all, Luo Xiangdong was sitting not far away, so I had to be restrained and pay attention to my image.
But it was so funny, and it didn’t take long for my laughter to become more frequent and more rampant. When I laughed so hard, I just held my stomach and felt like I was going to convulse.
Fortunately, Luo Xiangdong didn't laugh at me. Driven by my magical laughter, he even laughed with me.
I laughed so hard that I wiped away tears. Luo Xiangdong seemed to be in a good mood and even discussed with me: "Is this from your northeastern end?"
I said, "Yes, I like him very much. When he comes out, he doesn't have to say anything, and I laugh to death."
Luo Xiangdong said: "You speak Mandarin quite well, but you rarely speak dialect."
I raised my eyebrows and replied, "We in Liangcheng originally speak Mandarin, okay?"
Luo Xiangdong snorted and replied with a look of disgust: "What Mandarin? Yours is Mandarin, so what does Yecheng speak?"
What I'm most afraid of is people discussing with me which language is Mandarin. Because I love Northeast China and Liangcheng, I speak for Liangcheng.
I said: "You Yecheng people always speak with the Erhua pronunciation, and it feels like your tongue is spinning. When I was in school, our foreign teachers stayed in China for ten years, but I couldn't understand your Yecheng pronunciation. It’s like another language, but he understands everything I say.”
Luo Xiangdong glanced at me and mocked mercilessly: "Then your foreign teacher is also a Northeastern mixed race."
His son Huayin said it very well, because he is an out-and-out Yecheng person.
I felt 'insulted', so I immediately rolled my eyes and replied: "The people of Night City are amazing, the capital is amazing, believe it or not, I will sue you for discriminating against outsiders?"
Luo Xiangdong replied with a half-smile, "Are you saying that I discriminate against mixed-race people from the Northeast?"
I was so angry with him that my heart was beating fast.
As a result, we were bickering while watching the sketches, and several sketches passed by unknowingly. I suddenly thought that half an hour had passed, so I quickly prepared medicine for him.
I took two cold capsules, one anti-inflammatory pill, two antipyretic pills and a few yellow vitamin C pills.
Luo Xiangdong looked at the handful of medicine in my hand. He did not take it immediately, but looked at me with raised eyebrows and said, "You want to take advantage of this opportunity to murder me?"
I raised my eyebrows and replied, "It's okay. These medicines don't conflict with each other and can be taken together."
Luo Xiangdong said: "I have never seen anyone take pills by the handful, unless they are deliberately seeking death."
I said, "Don't worry, we all take medicine like this. If you are seriously ill, you have to take strong medicine, so you can get better faster."
Luo Xiangdong said: "Actually, I'm not as sick as you think..."
I frowned, grabbed Luo Xiangdong's hand slightly impatiently, put the medicine in his palm, and said, "I guarantee you with my life that everything will be fine."
There was obvious hesitation in Luo Xiangdong's eyes. Under my affirmative gaze, he ate everything in one bite with determination to die. As if he was afraid of regretting it, he quickly picked up the water glass and took a sip of water, then swallowed it with a gulp.
After eating, he stared at me mischievously and said, "Liang Zijin, you just cheated me. You gave me a lot of chili peppers and made me take so many medicines. If I look back, I will be in trouble." Don’t think about it.”
I asked back, "Are you enjoying the meal?"
Luo Xiangdong looked away and avoided answering.
I said directly: "Actually, no one stipulates that you can only eat light food when you are sick. You are not me, and you don't have gastroenteritis. As long as you feel comfortable eating and your body has resistance, you don't care what you eat."
Luo Xiangdong sat on my right, looking forward, muttering aloud: "People from the Northeast are really rough..."
"What did you say?" In fact, I only heard the word Northeastern, so I turned to look at him sensitively.
Luo Xiangdong looked as if nothing had happened and said casually: "It's nothing."
I pursed my lips and then said, "Why don't you go upstairs to sleep?"
Luo Xiangdong said: "You don't care whether I sleep or not, just watch your TV."
I made an unhappy expression at him and then turned to watch TV. Since we haven’t watched TV for a long time and didn’t know that this station broadcasts comedies 24 hours a day, Luo Xiangdong and I felt dizzy and seemed to fall asleep whenever we lowered our heads, so we had to give up waiting for the program. Ending thoughts.
Luo Xiangdong took medicine and looked sleepier than me. He stood up and said, "I'll go upstairs and take a nap."
I couldn't do it anymore, so I replied truthfully: "Then can I sleep here for a while?"
Luo Xiangdong said: "Go to the room upstairs to sleep. Don't catch a cold here."
I was so sleepy that I couldn't even open my eyes, so I followed Luo Xiangdong upstairs without being polite.
Of course, everyone goes back to his own room and finds his own bed.
I entered a guest bedroom, fell on the bed, pulled up the quilt, and knew nothing for almost five seconds.
