Su Xinghui said: "I'm very good, Xiaoya, you don't need to worry about me. You just need to take good care of your health, and I will be the happiest."

Lu Xiaoya said: "Xinghui, when I fainted from a high fever that day, I was too tired, and I didn't want to persist anymore. But I thought of you and the children, so I persisted. I woke up, and thinking that I could still see you, I felt it was really good."

Su Xinghui couldn't help but shed tears again. He choked and said: "Xiaoya, it's great that you could wake up. You were ill, and I couldn't go back to see you. You don't blame me, do you?"

Lu Xiaoya said gently: "How could I blame you? Now is an extraordinary period, and you also have no choice. Besides, even if you wanted to come to see me now, you couldn't get in."

Speaking of this, Lu Xiaoya coughed gently twice. Su Xinghui hurriedly said: "Xiaoya, you just woke up, don't say so much. Rest well."

Lu Xiaoya promised gently and hung up the phone.

Lu Xiaoya's awakening made countless people who cared about her breathe a long sigh of relief, and Su Xinghui's spirit became even better. He put all his energy into his work.

Throughout April, when SARS cases in several key epidemic areas across the country were growing explosively, Baozhou City, which was in the key epidemic area of Yanbei, miraculously did not add a single confirmed SARS case. All suspected SARS cases were confirmed not to be SARS, and all isolated residential buildings in the residential area had their isolation lifted.

And the economic development of Baozhou City not only did not retreat but grew strongly. The GDP maintained a growth rate of more than 30% compared with the same period last year. Don't underestimate this number. This is the result on the basis of Baozhou City's continuous high GDP growth for two years.

It is called going further on the basis of the hundred-foot pole, and now it is the time when SARS is rampant. The economic growth rate in many regions has declined. Baozhou City achieving such results is already quite amazing.

After the efforts of the people across the country united as one, after entering May, the speed of the increase in SARS cases finally slowed down, especially in Jingcheng, which dropped from an average of dozens of SARS and suspected SARS cases per day last month to more than a dozen cases per day. This proves that the SARS epidemic has been gradually brought under control.

At the same time, a batch of suspected SARS patients were proven not to have SARS, and they were gradually discharged from the hospital. Lu Xiaoya was also one of them. She was discharged from the hospital in early May.

On the day she was discharged, Yu Ruizhi and Yu Ruoqiu drove to the hospital entrance to pick her up. When they saw Lu Xiaoya, who had become a little thinner, Yu Ruoqiu said: "Xiaoya, congratulations!"

If it were in normal times, Lu Xiaoya was just hospitalized because of a fever, and being discharged from the hospital would not be worth congratulating. But in this extraordinary period, being able to prove it was not SARS was already something worth congratulating.

Because the mortality rate of SARS was too high, among 100 SARS patients, more than five died. In addition, some SARS patients, although they could survive, were permanently disabled because of the use of hormone treatment, which made life worse than death.

Therefore, Lu Xiaoya was proven not to have SARS and could recover and be discharged from the hospital. This was really too lucky. At that time, she was listed as a suspected SARS patient because she interviewed many medical staff working on the front line of fighting SARS, and some of these medical staff contracted SARS.

Lu Xiaoya's experience would naturally be listed as a suspected SARS patient, and she was listed as a patient who was very likely to have contracted SARS. Some doctors almost confirmed that she had contracted SARS. As a result, she still came out safe and sound. This really counts as a miracle.

Lu Xiaoya said: "Ruoqiu, thank you, Brother Yu, thank you!"

When Lu Xiaoya was in the isolation ward, she knew that the Yu Ruizhi siblings had given their family a lot of care, which helped their family get through this difficult period. Therefore, the first thing she did when she came out was to express her gratitude to the two.

Yu Ruoqiu affectionately held her hand and pulled her into the car and said: "We are good sisters, why do you say these things? Let's go, we will send you home."

Lu Xiaoya got into the car, and Yu Ruizhi drove her home in person.

On the way, Yu Ruoqiu said: "Xiaoya, you are lucky this time and didn't contract SARS, but you shouldn't work so hard in the future. Why do you have to go to the front line to interview? That is really too dangerous. Some doctors and nurses you interviewed have now contracted SARS, and their life or death is unknown."

Lu Xiaoya said: "Ruoqiu, thank you, but I still have to go to the front line to interview. Precisely because those medical staff are so great, I have to interview them, write their deeds for the people across the country to see, boost the morale of the people across the country, and let them have more confidence in fighting SARS."

Yu Ruizhi said: "Xiaoya, you have been ill for so long, why do you still go to the front line? You are already a hero. No one has the right to ask you to go to the front line again. You should just rest well at home during this period."

Lu Xiaoya knew that the Yu Ruizhi siblings were all well-intentioned, and she didn't want to argue with them on the road. Therefore, she didn't say anything more and chatted with Yu Ruoqiu about some things at home. Having not been home for so long, she missed her relatives at home very much, especially Niu Niu.

Yu Ruoqiu said: "Niu Niu is very brave. He heard you were ill and wanted to go to the hospital to see you. We said the hospital was very dangerous, but he said he wasn't afraid. But in the end, his grandmother didn't let him go, saying that Mom would be able to go home in a few days."

Hearing that Niu Niu was so brave and cute, a smile appeared on Lu Xiaoya's face.

Returning home, Niu Niu rushed towards Lu Xiaoya and threw himself into her arms, almost knocking Lu Xiaoya over. Now Niu Niu already weighed 40 or 50 jin. How could Lu Xiaoya, who had just recovered from a serious illness, withstand his collision?

However, Lu Xiaoya still stood firm with effort. She hugged Niu Niu, and her tears fell down, falling on Niu Niu's body. She thought in her heart, Niu Niu, Mom almost couldn't see you.

Guo Suhua saw Lu Xiaoya crying, and she also cried.

Niu Niu said: "Mom, why are you crying? Look, Niu Niu doesn't cry, don't cry."

Lu Xiaoya said: "Niu Niu, Mom is happy to see you, that's why I'm crying. Okay, Mom listens to you, I won't cry."

Niu Niu said to Guo Suhua: "Grandma, don't cry either."

Guo Suhua wiped away her tears and said: "Okay, Grandma won't cry either."

Su Wenjun smiled warmly and said: "It's good to be back, come into the house, Ruizhi, Ruoqiu, you also come into the house, let's eat!"

Guo Suhua had already prepared meals at home, waiting for them to come back to eat. Yu Ruizhi and Yu Ruoqiu were not polite and followed them into the house, washed their hands, and started eating.

After eating, Lu Xiaoya helped her mother-in-law tidy up the bowls and chopsticks and entered the kitchen together to wash the bowls. The two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hadn't worked together for a long time, and today they were especially affectionate.

Guo Suhua washed the bowls while shedding tears again. She said: "Xiaoya, our Xinghui let you down!"

Lu Xiaoya said: "Mom, don't say that. Xinghui didn't let me down. He has his work and cannot come back at will. If he left his post at will, wouldn't it be a mess?"

Guo Suhua said: "Anyway, you were wronged this time, Mom says sorry to you."

Lu Xiaoya said: "Mom, don't say that, am I not fine?"

Guo Suhua said: "Xiaoya, you are lucky this time. Since you are better, you should rest well at home. Don't go to work during this period."

Lu Xiaoya didn't want to let the elderly worry, so she just said "Um" noncommittally.

The news of Lu Xiaoya's discharge from the hospital made Su Xinghui very happy. He missed Lu Xiaoya incomparably now, but he also knew that he couldn't go back now, and Lu Xiaoya couldn't go to Jingcheng at will. Therefore, he could only wait patiently for the end of the SARS epidemic.

Fortunately, he still remembered that the SARS epidemic in his previous life ended around late June, which was only a month or so away from now. Therefore, the time for him to see Lu Xiaoya again would not be too long.
