In the middle of the night, Yuanchun felt a headache and a sense of exhaustion throughout her body. She touched her forehead and found it burning hot.
Yuanchun hurriedly took out some cold medicine and swallowed two pills, along with a fever reducer. The fever subsided, but the cold persisted. By morning, Yuanchun felt lightheaded, her nose was running, and her throat was so dry she wanted to cough. It was a severe cold. She dug out a box of cephalosporin, took one pill, and followed it with two more cold tablets, but by noon, the fever had returned.
Lingling had also caught a cold, but being a sturdy girl, her case was mild; she went to the clinic, got some medicine, and was better after three days. Once Lingling had recovered, the brigade leader’s wife brought her over to thank Yuanchun. Fearing she might pass her cold on to them, Yuanchun didn't let them come close. She had them stand at the doorway, exchange a few words, and after they left a pile of supplements, the mother and daughter took their leave.
