(Historical Era + Space + Military Marriage + Medical Skills) A modern PhD in both Chinese and Western medicine accidentally transmigrated to the 1970s and obtained a special space upon arrival.
The weather isn't too cold yet, so she decided to make do for a few days and share the bedding with her dog-loving grandmother.
When Granny Dog saw that Lin Qingyan had laid out the mattress, she went outside to find some dry straw. Lin Qingyan put the straw under the mattress, which made it even better than before.
Lin Zhiheng took the initiative to pick up the carrying pole and buckets and go to the well to fetch water.
Lin Qingyan was still busy with things after moving. She remembered that she needed to give Grandma Dog a bath, but she didn't have a pot to boil water yet.
We need to find a way to take what's in the space out tomorrow.
Fortunately, they had already eaten at the educated youth settlement before moving, so they weren't hungry now.
She went to the kitchen and finally found an earthenware pot. She decided to use it to boil some water.
At this moment, Lin Zhiheng had already carried back a carrying pole of water and poured it into the large vat.
Lin Qingyan boiled a pot of water, poured it into a basin, added some cold water, and carried it to the bedroom, closing the door behind her.
"Grandma, take off all your clothes, let me wipe your body."
Grandma Dog immediately started taking off her clothes. Lin Qingyan tested the water temperature with her finger, and when she looked up again, she found that Grandma Dog had already taken off her clothes.
Grandma Dog seemed completely unconcerned, brazenly displaying herself in front of her.
Although Granny Dog was just an old woman, Lin Qingyan was initially hesitant to look directly at her.
In her past life, she was a doctor. Most of the time, patients needed to take off their clothes before surgery. In the operating room, no matter how clean the patients were, she never felt embarrassed. But in a different place and in a different situation, the feeling was different.
She wet the towel and wiped the dog's body. Because the dog hadn't bathed in a long time, the water in the basin quickly turned black and dirty. She could only take a bath towel from the cabinet and drape it over the dog before going to boil water.
The water was much better after the second wash, so Lin Qingyan took out her old clothes, intending to have Granny Gou change into them tomorrow.
Now that Granny Dog is clean from head to toe, her refined and elegant demeanor is even more pronounced.
Lin Qingyan couldn't help but wonder how dignified, elegant, and eloquent Granny Dog would be if she hadn't gone mad.
It was getting late, so she told Granny Dog to get on the kang (a heated brick bed), and then she got on and lay down next to Granny Dog.
The old woman's big, bright eyes were fixed on her, and Lin Qingyan turned her head to meet her gaze.
There were many things to do today, and there were many people at the educated youth settlement, so she didn't have time to ask Grandma Dog about some things in detail.
What if Granny Dog still remembers something?
"Grandma, I'm asking you, what's your name?"
"My name is Granny Dog."
Lin Qingyan rubbed her forehead.
"Okay, where are you from?"
"Here," Granny Dog said, pointing to the earthen bed beneath her.
Lin Qingyan sighed and rubbed her forehead again.
How many people are in your family?
Grandma Dog quickly pointed to herself: "Me." Then she pointed to Lin Qingyan: "And you, plus the people in that room, that makes three people in total." She held up three fingers.
Lin Qingyan smiled. Sometimes, Grandma Dog doesn't seem to be confused at all.
She has now moved to a new home, and with her younger brother and mother-in-law by her side, she really feels at home.
"Grandma, think again, what was your original name?"
"You old hag!"
What's your last name?
What's your last name?
Lin Qingyan thought she would say her surname was Gou (狗), or some other surname, but she didn't expect her to ask her the other way around.
"Grandma, my surname is Lin."
"Then I'll also take the surname Lin."
Lin Qingyan: "..."
Is her Lin family about to gain another member?
"Grandma, think carefully about what your surname is. If you can figure it out, you won't have to call yourself 'Dog Grandma' anymore."
"My surname is Lin," Granny Dog said earnestly.
"Alright, alright." Lin Qingyan decided to go along with her: "From now on, your surname is Lin. If anyone asks you what your name is in the future, just say you are Granny Lin."
"Um."
Lin Qingyan discovered that Grandma Lin's mind was still quite clear at times, but she just didn't remember things from the past.
So what exactly caused Granny Lin's amnesia?
Did you experience severe psychological trauma before losing your memory?
Or did he suffer a severe head injury?
She remembered that when she washed Grandma Lin's hair during the day, she did not notice any signs of injury on Grandma Lin's head.
Perhaps she didn't see it clearly at the time.
Let's check it again then.
The kerosene lamp in the room wasn't very bright, but she didn't need bright light. If Grandma Lin had suffered an external injury to her head, even if she recovered well, there would still be a scar, which she could feel with her hand.
However, she did not find any signs of external injury on Granny Lin's head.
In other words, the claim that external injury caused Granny Lin's amnesia is unfounded.
From the time she met Granny Lin until now, she hasn't noticed any extreme behavior from Granny Lin. If someone has been traumatized, they would clearly remember the incident that triggered it, but Granny Lin is clearly not like that.
However, we cannot easily rule out the possibility that she has suffered severe mental trauma. We cannot make a judgment at the moment, but we will analyze her behavior later.
Never mind, as long as Grandma Lin is alright now, that's all that matters.
Grandma Lin is getting on in years, so she wanted to check if Grandma Lin had any other health problems and give her some treatment.
She grabbed Grandma Lin's wrist, wanting to check her health first: "Grandma, don't move, let me take your pulse and check your health."
Although she felt that Grandma Lin was so lively and energetic that she shouldn't have any health problems, she still wanted to see her to put her mind at ease.
After taking Grandma Lin's pulse for a while, she found that Grandma Lin's pulse was beating normally and there was no problem. She then put Grandma Lin's wrist down.
"Your mother-in-law, are you sleepy? Let's turn off the light and go to sleep."
"good."
Lin Qingyan blew out the oil lamp and lay down with Granny Lin again. Suddenly, she thought of her own grandmother and leaned closer to Granny Lin. Granny Lin reached out a hand and patted her back.
"Go to sleep, girl, go to sleep."
Her tone was soft and gentle, with a kind and compassionate quality.
Hearing her voice, Lin Qingyan felt at ease and comfortable, and gradually fell asleep.
midnight
Lin Qingyan was suddenly awakened by the anxious and panicked voice in her ear.
"The photos, where are my photos? Why can't I find them? Why? Where are they?"
In the darkness, she couldn't see Granny Lin's expression clearly, but she could hear the sobs in her voice.
"Grandma, what photo are you looking for?"
Grandma Lin seemed not to hear her question and continued to anxiously mutter to herself, "The photo, my photo, I can't find it, I can't find it."
Seeing her like this, Lin Qingyan concluded that she was dreaming. She did not wake her up immediately, but wanted to hear if she could tell more useful information and learn about her past, in case she was someone's lost elderly person.
