Cao Shujie came out of the bedroom and saw his mother Wang Yuelan sitting under the eaves.

When she saw him, Wang Yuelan stood up reflexively and asked anxiously: "Shujie, how is Mengmeng doing now? Is she feeling better?"

"Mom, she was fine for the rest of the night and coughed less." Cao Shujie said to his mother.

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a sound of 'cough, cough, cough' coming from the bedroom. Wang Yuelan rolled her eyes at her son: "Didn't you say that Mengmeng is fine? Why is she coughing again?"

Just because of her granddaughter's cough, Wang Yuelan didn't believe her son.

Cao Shujie felt a little embarrassed: "Mom, the cough can't be cured so quickly. It will take a few days anyway."

"Did Mengmeng get blown by the wind because she didn't put on her clothes when she got in and out of the car?" Wang Yuelan asked her son.

At the same time, she also looked at him with some reproach: "Shujie, tell me why you are so careless at such an old age. It's cold now and it takes a long time to get better from a cold."

Cao Shujie thought that you should say less, so he abruptly changed the subject and asked: "Mom, where is my dad?"

"He got up early in the morning, ate two steamed buns and went to the orchard on the mountain to look at it. He said he would turn over the soil and prune branches today," Wang Yuelan said.

Cao Shujie nodded: "Mom, I'm going to have something to eat, and I'll go to the mountains to have a look later."

Wang Yuelan nodded, followed her son into the main room, and muttered: "Shujie, is this okay for Mengmeng? Why don't you drive her to the county hospital and ask the doctor there to prescribe some medicine. It will be better soon."

"Just coughing makes her feel uncomfortable." Wang Yuelan pinched her hands together, indicating that she was even more nervous and uncomfortable.

"Mom, take medicine today and see if it doesn't work." Cao Shujie said, "It will take two or three days for a cough to take effect. Even if you ask an expert, there is no panacea."

She knew her son was telling the truth, but Wang Yuelan couldn't calm down when she heard the coughing coming from the next room.

Cao Shujie never mentioned to his mother why Mengmeng coughed, so he just pretended that it never happened.

After washing and eating breakfast, Cao Shujie went back to the bedroom and saw his daughter Mengmeng curled up. Every time she coughed, her whole body would tremble.

His wife was lying on her side, leaning on the bed with her elbows, giving Mengmeng a gentle pat on the back.

"Wife, what do you think? Why don't you wake up Mengmeng and give her some medicine?" Cao Shujie leaned down and asked his wife.

Cheng Xiaolin waved her hand: "Don't rush to take the medicine. Let her sleep for a while first. She didn't sleep well last night."

"Okay, then you should rest a little longer, and I'll go for a walk in the mountains first." After Cao Shujie finished speaking, he was about to leave.

Cheng Xiaolin stopped patting Mengmeng and turned around to look at Cao Shujie. Only then did Cao Shujie see that his wife's eyes were red and she seemed to be about to cry.

"Wife, what are you doing? You are already a big boss, why are you ready to cry again?" Cao Shujie was a little panicked and quickly advised him.

Then he heard his wife reproaching herself: "Husband, if I hadn't had to take Mengmeng back to her grandma's house yesterday, Mengmeng wouldn't have coughed, and she wouldn't be so uncomfortable now."

"Look at her, who is usually such a lively child, but now she has no energy at all." The more Cheng Xiaolin spoke, the more she blamed herself, and a line of tears rolled down her face.

"Okay, it's cold now and there are a lot of colds. Why don't Mengmeng go out?" Cao Shujie sat on the edge of the bed, stretched out his hand to bring his wife over, and wiped his wife's face with a tissue in the other hand.

tears, coaxing her like a child.

After his wife calmed down, Cao Shujie specifically told her: "Wife, when you call Mengmeng's grandma, you must not mention Mengmeng's cough. Remember that."

"Yeah!" Cheng Xiaolin nodded with some choking.

This is really uncomfortable for the children, but it is the parents who feel distressed.

Seeing Mengmeng coughing intermittently, both Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin were at a loss what to do. Their anxiety was something that outsiders could not understand.

"Cough, cough, cough, cough!"

Mengmeng coughed again, maybe because the cough was too big this time. After coughing a few times, she suddenly sat up. When she saw her father and mother, she burst into tears with a cry of grievance.

While crying, she also said: "Mom, I'm so upset."

Her pitiful appearance made Cheng Xiaolin feel more self-blame. She reached out to hug Mengmeng, and then pulled the quilt next to her to cover Mengmeng, for fear of getting cold again.

But in fact, the air conditioner in the room was turned on with electric auxiliary heating at 24 degrees Celsius, which was very warm. Cao Shujie was wearing a bit thick clothes, and he felt like he was sweating now.

——

"I'll make some medicine for her and take it first," Cao Shujie said.

Cheng Xiaolin didn't stop her.

Not long after, Cao Shujie came over with medicine in a small bowl and a bottle of cough syrup.

When it comes to taking medicine, Mengmeng never makes people worry about it. Regardless of whether it is sweet or bitter, she takes it very enthusiastically. Sometimes when she sees Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin taking medicine, Mengmeng will continue to move forward.

Minato, stick up your little nose and smell what it smells like.

Mengmeng might be really tired and sleepy. After drinking the medicine, she lay in Cheng Xiaolin's arms for a short time before closing her eyes and falling asleep.

After putting her down, Cheng Xiaolin slapped her sore lower back with her backhand and said, "Shujie, go ahead and do your work. I'll just keep an eye on her."

"Would you like to lie down for a while longer, or get up and eat some food? If you want to eat, I'll heat it up for you." Cao Shujie asked her.

Cheng Xiaolin looked at the beautiful sun outside the window and said, "I won't lie down anymore. While the weather is good today, hurry up and wash out the sheets to dry. If it snows again in a few days, we will be in trouble."

When she said this, Cao Shujie said nothing else. When his wife got up and went to wash up, Cao Shujie heated up the breakfast, put it into a bowl for his wife, and then took the tools and prepared to go out.

It was already past nine o'clock in the morning. At this time, Cao Shujie had already been working in the orchard for two hours.

Before they even went out, Daha and Erha woke up anxiously, rattling the dog leashes while barking.

"Mom, didn't my dad walk the dog this morning?" Cao Shujie asked.

Wang Yuelan said about him: "Your dad goes up to the mountain to do some work after dinner after six o'clock. How can he have time to walk the dog?"

This was equivalent to his father doing the work for him. Cao Shujie felt a little ashamed and said, "Then I will take Daha and the four of them away and go to the mountain to let them run for a while."

"There are many people now, please be careful and don't let them bite you." Wang Yuelan told her son.

Cheng Xiaolin also said: "Shujie, you have to be careful and don't be careless."

"Yes, I know!" Cao Shujie agreed, leading the four dogs and heading out towards the Yellow River dam in the east.

He took the long way, walking north from the river dam and getting off at the north intersection.

During this period, the four dogs Daha, Erha and the others all looked at Cao Shujie, hoping that he would let go of the leash. The four brothers made a wild dash.

But now is no different than in the morning. There are many old people and children coming to play on the river dam. Cao Shujie is really afraid that they are ignorant. Even if they don't bite, it's not good to scare others.

"Daha, Erha, Dahei, Xiaohei, let's not run away today. I'll take you here for a run tomorrow morning, okay?" Cao Shujie discussed with them in the same tone as treating children.

The four dogs actually understood. After hesitating for a while, they still moved their heads up and down, as if they agreed to Cao Shujie's suggestion.

"You are so good, I will give you extra meals and meat in two days." Cao Shujie stroked their dog heads one by one and told them with a smile.

In about half an hour, Cao Shujie took them down the north intersection and turned around to find the road up the mountain.

In the orchard, when Cao Shujie saw the barbed wire guardrail, he remembered that the breeding area in the north had been completed but had never been put into use. There was also a barbed wire guardrail surrounding it. He had an idea in his mind and said with a smile: "Daha."

, I know where I asked you to run away?"

Big Ha, Er Ha, they all turned to look at Cao Shujie.

Daha also called out "oh woo", which seemed to be urging Cao Shujie. Since he knew, he should go quickly, so why bother?

"Follow me." Cao Shujie led them and walked north along the hardened road to the west of the barbed wire guardrail.

The four dogs were obviously more excited. They in turn dragged Cao Shujie with the dog leash and ran. It didn't take long before they came to the end.

After Cao Shujie opened the gate on the barbed wire fence and took them in, he released the dog leash one by one and said to Daha and the four brothers: "You guys run quickly, run more, I will call you when I leave."

"Oh woo!"

"oh!"

"oh oh…"

Daha, Erha, the two German shepherds both howled at different high and low levels. I didn't feel it at the bottom, but in this empty mountain, especially when the four brothers were full of energy, the howling sounds were just as loud.

Getting louder and louder.

Especially the howling of the two German shepherds. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you would have thought it was a ferocious beast running out of nowhere.

Watching the four brothers spread their legs and each choose a direction to run forward. Under the sun, the undulating and leaping figures came into Cao Shujie's eyes. He thought again of the mighty and tall horse he saw in Cui Jingguo's livestock farm.

The German Shepherd is bigger than the average Tibetan Mastiff. It weighs at least 80 kilograms. It makes people feel scared just by looking at it. It is so fierce!

"You guys should grow up quickly. It's best to surpass your dog dad." Cao Shujie looked at the two black and yellow-haired German shepherds and muttered silently in his heart.

His father was spreading hay to cattle in the breeding area opposite.

The howling of four dogs just now frightened 50 cows. As soon as it calmed down, Cao Jianguo saw his son and called him: "Shujie, come here."

"Dad, what's the matter?" Cao Shujie walked towards the opposite side.

When Cao Shujie walked up to him, he heard his father Cao Jianguo ask worriedly: "Shujie, how is Mengmeng doing now? Is the cough feeling better?"

"Dad, I just gave her the medicine when I came out in the morning, and she is much better." Cao Shujie said with a smile.

When Cao Jianguo heard what his son said, he didn't doubt it. He nodded and said with a smile, "That's all. Shujie, you don't know. I heard her cough and it kept worrying me."

"Dad, it's okay. It's normal for children to have coughs and colds. Don't worry." Cao Shujie smiled.

There is a gate on the wire fence between the two plots of land, which makes it easier to walk back and forth between the two plots of land. Cao Shujie went directly to open the door and entered the opposite side.

The 50 cows were happily eating forage. Seeing how fat and strong they were, Cao Shujie was very happy. He even discussed with his father: "Dad, should we eat beef during the Chinese New Year this year?"
