Chapter 319
This was the first time that Shen Shuyu felt the joy of playing snowball fights. They played with this group of little kids for the whole morning, and when they were exhausted, they lay on the snow and laughed.
At noon, the little kids went home to eat. After eating, they came running over and said they wanted to make a snowman.
Shen Shuyu, Gu Jiandong and a group of children started making a snowman in the yard. The snow was icy and the weather was cold. Most of the children's cotton coats were not warm enough and half of them were sniffing. But as they made the snowman, they all grinned.
Shen Shuyu was wearing gloves, so she didn't feel cold when making a snowman, but her face was red from the cold. Gu Jiandong was afraid that she would get cold, so he went back to the house and got her a scarf. When he put it around her neck, he pulled the scarf to cover most of her face.
Several adults and a group of children were making snowmen in the Shen family yard. Soon, the Shen family yard was filled with snowmen of all sizes. Shen Shuyu also added eyes, noses, and mouths to them.
Gu Jiandong's hat and Shen Shuyu's scarf were taken off and put on the snowman.
They also built two huge snowmen taller than humans in front of the Shen family's door, and several snow dogs shaped like white radishes.
From the yard to outside the door, there are more than a dozen different snowmen and snow dogs of all sizes.
Shen Shuyu and the children were very satisfied.
I wish this was a camera, Shen Shuyu thought.
After playing in the snow all day, Shen Shuyu may have caught a cold. Before going to bed, she felt her body was burning hot. In the middle of the night, her body felt like it was on fire and she fell into a drowsy sleep.
In her dream, she seemed to dream of Gu Jiandong. She had a fever, and Gu Jiandong was taking care of her tenderly and meticulously, touching her forehead from time to time to observe her temperature changes.
Gu Jiandong in the dream was different from usual, with a serious expression, but when he looked at her, his eyes seemed to be filled with stars and the sea, sparkling.
When Shen Shuyu opened her eyes, she saw Gu Jiandong sitting upright beside her kang, supporting his head with his right hand and resting with his eyes closed. She touched the towel on her forehead and realized belatedly that she must have had a fever last night and Gu Jiandong had taken care of her all night.
Shen Shuyu's fever was gone, but her head felt heavy. She propped herself up and stood up.
Gu Jiandong had just closed his eyes for a short while when he suddenly opened them, "Shu Yu, you're awake."
Gu Jiandong touched Shen Shuyu's forehead with the back of his hand, and then touched his own forehead. The temperature dropped, and the worry in his eyes disappeared by half.
Shen Shuyu had a fever and spoke weakly, "Gu Jiandong, you took care of me all night. I'm fine now. Go back to your room and rest."
His dark circles were obvious, and Shen Shuyu could tell at a glance that he hadn't slept all night.
Gu Jiandong shook his head, "I don't want to go back to sleep yet. I want to stay here with you and take care of you."
Old Mrs. Shen walked in, holding a bowl of porridge in her hand. "Oh, my dear, you're finally awake. You're feeling better now. It's all my fault. I knew it was cold, so I should have asked you to wear more clothes. If you had worn more clothes, you wouldn't have caught a cold. You must be hungry. Have some porridge first.
Jiandong, you didn't have breakfast, so I cooked some lean meat porridge. Go to the kitchen and get two bowls. After drinking the porridge, go back to your room and have a good sleep. I'll take care of you, my dear."
Shen Shuyu rubbed the back of his hand and said, "Go drink some porridge, then go back to your room and sleep. If you don't listen, I will be angry."
Gu Jiandong went to get some porridge, and after he had it filled, he brought it over and drank it with Shen Shuyu.
Shen Shuyu drank a bowl of porridge, and her body felt stronger and her head no longer felt heavy. She poured herself a glass of water and drank it. She had added spiritual spring water to the water in the kettle. After drinking a glass of water, Shen Shuyu no longer felt as uncomfortable as before.
Old Lady Shen touched her forehead and said, "Your fever is gone. Your second aunt made some ginger soup. You two can each drink a bowl later, and then take a ginger bath in the evening."
The two drank the porridge and had a big bowl of ginger soup. Shen Shuyu's stomach was full. "Grandma, Gu Jiandong, I'm fine. You can go back to the room and rest."
