(Beautiful, it’s hit 38°9)
Thanks to the prompt reporting by the county hospital, all close contacts were immediately controlled.
The most noticeable change was the significant decrease in fever patients received by the county hospital.
Under the moonlit sky, Candy watched cartoons as if nothing was happening.
The only thing Candy was unhappy about was her brother not letting her sit on the couch, insisting she sits on a small stool with a mask on.
Hmph, is this really my brother?
Watching her brother and sister sitting on the couch, Candy snorted lightly.
Though faint, Mo Jingchun and Zhou Yaling heard it clearly.
"What’s wrong?"
"Having a small stool to sit on is already good."
Upon hearing this, Candy turned her head away, not wanting to look at her brother.
"Don’t be stubborn. Be careful, you might have a fever tomorrow."
"No way."
Candy patted her chest confidently and said,
"I’m super healthy."
Mo Jingchun chuckled, "Let’s hope you’re super healthy and don’t get a fever."
"Anyway, don’t go anywhere for the next couple of days, just stay home. If you sneak out alone to dance in the square, I’ll spank you."
Candy pondered the possibility of being spanked by her brother if she sneaked out.
The result was evident, going against her brother would surely lead to trouble.
Candy could even imagine the scene of being spanked.
Her brother wielding a stick, spanking her, while her sister stood by munching on sunflower seeds, amused.
Occasionally, she might even cheer.
Thinking about this scene made Candy shiver.
No, can’t do it. Better not go out this weekend, after all, Candy is a good child who listens.
The next morning, Mo Jingchun had just woken up when Zero reported last night’s situation.
The good news was that the temperatures of those three kids had gone down, though they still had headaches and felt exhausted.
The bad news was that twelve more people had fevers, including half being adults.
Even the clinic doctor got hit, now lying in bed groaning.
"Tell the logistics staff, make sure everyone’s living supplies are guaranteed, especially delivering every meal correctly."
Pause, Mo Jingchun then said,
"Let’s do this, send all the Whites from my private lab. Have them deliver supplies to minimize risks."
"Got it, boss."
"Oh, by the way, is Candy showing any symptoms?"
In Candy’s room, White opened its eyes, scanning the peacefully sleeping Candy.
"Boss, just measured her temperature, everything’s normal, she’s probably dreaming sweetly."
"That’s good."
After a night, Candy showed no symptoms, allowing Mo Jingchun to finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Xiang’Er got infected, yet Candy, who was often in contact with Xiang’Er, was totally unaffected. Surely, heaven was protecting the chosen one.
That being said, no matter what Candy does, her luck is always exceptional—except one thing.
Money in her pocket.
Why does money fall out of Candy’s pocket so easily? It’s baffling.
Shaking his head, Candy’s already fortunate enough. If money could bring luck, then please, Candy should lose a bit more money when she can.
"How’s the hospital doing?"
"It’s stabilizing too."
Brushing teeth, washing face, Mo Jingchun put on his sneakers and went downstairs.
"Do we know where the infection source is from?"
"Based on my data analysis, it might be from a goose."
"A goose?" Mo Jingchun was surprised and paused.
"Whose goose?"
Next moment, Zero showed interest and said, "Yes, you know the person who raised the geese, boss."
With Zero’s words, Mo Jingchun instantly pictured the smiling uncle at the square.
"His fighting goose?"
"Exactly."
This... Mo Jingchun hadn’t anticipated that.
"A shame... no goose meat for a while."
In the afternoon, Candy alone occupied the living room couch, lying lazily as she watched TV.
Seeing Mo Jingchun coming down the stairs, Candy instinctively took her feet off the couch.
Now seeing Candy unharmed, Mo Jingchun was completely at ease.
If Candy had really gotten infected, even assuming Candy had strong resistance showing no symptoms, he and Zhou Yaling would have been affected too.
It only meant Candy hadn’t caught the flu virus.
Watching her brother pouring water, Candy suddenly thought of Xiang’Er.
"Brother, how’s Xiang’Er?"
"Still has a headache, but no fever. Same as you, watching TV at home."
"That’s wonderful, I can see Xiang’Er on Monday."
Mo Jingchun laughed, "That’s not certain, parents’ group notified, Monday’s school schedule TBD."
"Even better!"
With the possibility of no school on Monday, Candy was even more excited.
"What’s so good about it? No school means homework for sure."
Sitting beside Candy, Mo Jingchun shot Candy a disdainful look.
"With me around, would you dare be lazy?"
"But... brother, I know all the first-grade textbook stuff!"
"So? How does that conflict with your homework?"
"Alright, alright, maybe Monday’s back to normal school, dreaming’s too early now."
Feeling tired, Mo Jingchun simply leaned against Candy, planning to snooze.
"Brother loves you so much."
Candy pushed her brother’s head away vigorously, gasping with frustration,
"You love me, but don’t squash me, you old bully."
"Why are you cursing?"
"I’m not!"
"Your brother isn’t deaf, heard you call me ’old bully."
"Get less into short videos, learning such useless knowledge."
Candy rolled her eyes at him but didn’t argue.
According to past experience, arguing led to her brother countering at least three times.
............
As Zero’s data analysis results suggested, the county’s findings showed that Uncle Hoop’s geese were the infection source.
The result was unmistakable, no single goose evaded fate—all met their ancestors.
Sunday morning, Mo Jingchun received good news early.
Since yesterday until now, Zero increase, all fever patients had been controlled.
Making Mo Jingchun even happier was the notification in the parents’ group, besides students who had fever symptoms, Monday’s back to normal school.
For those who had fever symptoms, school dates were to be determined.
Mo Jingchun grinned and went straight upstairs without further ado, opened Candy’s bedroom door.
The little one lay on the bed, sleeping deeply, a slight smile on her lips.
"Candy."
"Candy."
"Wake up."
Mo Jingchun gently shook Candy’s shoulders, the little one drowsily opened her eyes.
"Mm~ Is it school time?"
Rubbing her eyes, Candy blinked sleepily, sitting up.
"No, tomorrow’s back to normal school."
