Chapter 262 Cold
Chen Wenjiu, who was on her way to her grandparents' house, was startled by such a shocking sneeze. She couldn't help but look back to see who had sneezed.
"Ah owe-"
Chen Jialing, who was basking in the sun in the yard, sneezed again. She was listless and lay on the deck chair wrapped in a quilt to bask in the sun.
"Sister?" Chen Wenjiu looked at Chen Jialing, who was very weak and energetic, with confusion. He didn't understand why she just had a cold, as if she had a serious illness.
Chen Jialing lazily opened her eyelids, and after seeing it was Chen Wenjiu, she weakly called out, "Jiujiu, good morning."
Chen Wenjiu looked at her doubtfully, "It's only ten o'clock in the morning, sister. Did you get up so early?"
Chen Jialing is an online writer with a very regular schedule. Of course, her routine is to go to bed at two or three in the morning and get up at 11 or 12 noon. Basically, she rarely gets up before ten o'clock.
It's only ten o'clock right now, and her sister is already up?
"I went to bed early last night." Chen Jialing continued to say weakly.
She had gone to bed at 8:30 last night. She was able to get up at the hotel at 9 this morning because she had a cold and slept for more than ten hours.
"You have a cold?" Chen Wenjiu asked curiously, "Have you gone to see a doctor?"
"No." Chen Jialing said, "I didn't want to take injections, so I bought medicine. I haven't recovered after taking it for two days."
Chen Jialing is really afraid of injections. She didn't take many vaccinations when she was a child. She only had one injection in her memory when she got a cold. After that, she basically relied on medicine to get through any colds and fevers.
Chen Wenjiu frowned and said, "Then you plan to endure it like this? It would be better to get an injection faster."
"I don't want to go." Chen Jialing took out a tissue and blew her nose, then threw the tissue into the trash can. The trash can next to her was almost full, and it was filled with the tissues she used to blow her nose.
Chen Wenjiu still frowned. Her sister was afraid of injections. It seemed that everyone had this problem, but how long would it take to just take medicine for a cold?
Look at her sister's nose. She wiped the snot until the skin was broken. The nose was red. If she applied more force, it might bleed.
"I thought that this year my health would be better and I wouldn't be able to catch a cold." Chen Jialing cried to her cousin.
Her body was very good before she got married, and she had never had a cold since she was a child.
But later, after she got married and gave birth to a child, she didn't know whether it was because she lost money after giving birth or because she had an irregular schedule and didn't like to exercise. Anyway, her body's resistance and immunity were reduced. Anyway, she would catch a cold when the temperature changed.
Not to mention the weather in winter, she would catch a cold even in summer.
As they say, people who catch colds in summer are fools - but people with poor health can also catch colds in summer.
Especially here in Qiongnan, do you think it is always hot in summer? No, it would get cold in the afternoon, and I wouldn’t even know what to cover myself with at night.
A thicker quilt will be too hot and you will sweat. If you lift the quilt when you sweat, you will catch a cold; a thinner quilt? It will be cold, and even worse, you will catch a cold.
Chen Jialing was really troubled. She had never had such troubles before, but as a result, she became less and less physically active, and colds and fevers were common.
In the past, she didn't like injections or taking medicine. She basically had to get through colds. After a week, the colds were basically gone.
But it doesn't work now. She is used to taking medicine, but injections are absolutely not possible. She must not get injections.
Chen Wenjiu: "..."
"Let me ask my brother for you. Those who study drugs should know about these issues?" Chen Wenjiu said, looking at his uncomfortable sister.
It's really because her sister is really lack of energy right now. Even after sleeping for twelve or thirteen hours, she still has no energy.
A cold is indeed very uncomfortable. A runny nose, headache, cough, etc. are all uncomfortable problems. Chen Wenjiu understands this.
Although she is in good health, it does not mean that she has never caught a cold. Of course, she is in good health now and will basically not catch a cold in winter.
"Ah~ah~ah..." As she said that, Chen Jialing sneezed again, the sound was quite loud, and she couldn't control the volume at all.
As a result, Chen Jialing's face turned ugly just after sneezing. She quickly got up and looked at the recliner, then asked Chen Wenjiu if there was anything behind her.
Chen Wenjiu: "...Sister, there is nothing."
Chen Jialing said with a sad face, "Do you know what is the most painful thing? A cold and a fever? No, it is when my aunt comes to visit me when I have a cold."
The taste is simply amazing.
Chen Wenjiu: "..." Sympathy for her sister.
Every time she sneezed, it felt like a volcano erupting. Although she had never experienced it, she had heard of it. It's so pitiful.
"Sister, please rest first. I'll ask my brother if there is any quick-acting cold medicine." Chen Wenjiu said.
Chen Jialing nodded, "Please."
When Chen Wenjiu left, he didn't forget to look back at his cousin who ran to the toilet to check if there was any leakage even though she was not very energetic. It was really pitiful.
When Chen Wenjiu went to her grandparents' house, her grandparents were not at home, and she was confused. Although she knew that her grandparents were usually not at home all the time, it was already past ten in the morning. Where could they go? Did he go to the fields again?
No one was at her uncle's house, her grandparents were not at home, her uncle and aunt were not at home either, and as for her cousin Chen Jiayang, he seemed to be out driving.
Chen Jiayang was still used to driving to deliver goods. He said that he was not the kind of person who could sit still for formal work, and driving was more free.
So now Chen Jiayang was not at home either, there was really no one, not even Chen Lu, the nanny robot.
Chen Wenjiu did not go to look for her, opened the door and put the ingredients and fruits she said she would bring into the refrigerator, put the other things on the table in the living room, and then closed the door and left.
Chen Wenjiu took out her mobile phone and called her brother while leaving. She had the authority to contact her brother at the research base, so she was not worried that her brother would not answer the phone.
"Hello? Jiujiu, what do you want to talk to me about?" Chen Zhuojiu's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Brother, have you been doing well recently? Have you eaten the ingredients and fruits I sent you?" Chen Wenjiu asked with concern.
She got quite a lot of dividends. Although she donated a lot of money, she also kept a lot. So she would occasionally buy a lot of food and fruit from the small vegetable and fruit stalls and send them to the research base.
Of course, she sent it to her brother, but other people in the research base could also eat it together. The amount she sent was so large that her brother couldn't finish it all by himself, so he shared it with others.
"The things you sent are all very good. I like them very much. Well, other people in our base also like them very much." Chen Zhuojiu said with a smile.
"By the way, you are definitely not contacting me at this time to care about whether I eat well or sleep well, right? Is there anything?"
The food over there is still very good, and the sleeping environment is also very good. Chen Wenjiu specially found a good sleeping artifact from the interstellar to let them sleep well.
Researchers, eating well and sleeping well will give them more energy to do research, right? Insomnia and the like are not good for the body.
"Brother, I just want to ask you if you have developed a cold medicine that works faster." Chen Wenjiu said embarrassedly.
"You know, it's winter now, and more and more people are catching colds. I just met Sister Jialing, and she also caught a serious cold."
"And our Xiaoyi, I'm also worried that he'll catch a cold, so I want to ask if you have reproduced cold medicine and antipyretics that work quickly."
"You mean this, yes." Chen Zhuojiu said, "We have indeed reproduced the cold medicine and antipyretics that work very well in StarCraft, both of which are potion-based."
"Don't worry, this medicine should have passed the test and can be put on the market. If you need it urgently, I can have someone send it back to the village, and you can give it to Sister Jialing first." Chen Zhuojiu said.
"Okay, thank you, brother." Chen Wenjiu said happily.
"You should also pay attention, okay? Don't catch a cold."
"If the weather is cold, wear more clothes, okay? And remember to exercise more, so that your body can be healthier, okay?" Chen Zhuojiu reminded.
"I know. I exercise every day, but do you exercise? You know, the health of your researchers is very important. If you fall ill, it will delay things. You should also pay attention to your health, okay?" Chen Wenjiu also reminded his brother.
"I know." Chen Zhuojiu said.
The researchers at their research base are pulled up by the soldiers guarding this side to exercise every day. Although the daily training items are not as many as the soldiers, they are not few. Everyone should cherish the health of the researchers.
Chen Zhuojiu said that he would send cold medicine and antipyretic medicine to his sister, and he really did what he said. The things were sent back very quickly.
It was about twelve o'clock in the afternoon when it was delivered. Chen Wenjiu thought that his cousin should have eaten lunch by now, so if the medicine was sent over, she should be able to drink it directly.
"Sister." Chen Wenjiu came over with the cold medicine and shouted directly. At this moment, Chen Jialing was still not in a good mood. She planned to go back and sleep after lunch.
"Why are you here?" Chen Jialing asked.
"Sister, aren't you writing today?" Chen Wenjiu asked.
It stands to reason that her sister should update her novel every day during December, because she basically starts a new article in October or November, and then finishes it in June or July of the following year.
According to Chen Jialing, it is to avoid the typhoon season. The Internet and power outages during the typhoon season are really unfriendly to her as an online author, and updates cannot be guaranteed.
"Take a day off, and update by saving manuscripts." Chen Jialing said. Fortunately, she had the habit of saving manuscripts before, and she had just started a new article not long ago, so the manuscripts saved were enough for her to last for a few days.
Chen Wenjiu understood that her sister could write 6,000-10,000 words a day. Now it is not time to put it on the shelves and charge for it. Her update volume is basically 2,000-4,000, so she has manuscripts saved to last through the days when she has a cold.
