At the age of twenty-eight, Song Shuyao received her ex-boyfriend's inheritance from the army. After getting heavily drunk, she woke up to find herself transformed into 18-year-old Jiang Shuyao...
The holy, beautiful and brilliant light of the Goddess of Joy illuminates the earth~ The barefoot doctor's eyes lit up when he saw Jiang Shuyao take out a row of western medicines, but he could not read, or rather, he knew only a few words. He learned some traditional Chinese characters when he was young, and later switched to simplified Chinese. He was also old, and he could only recognize a few of them after taking the literacy class. He could prescribe western medicines because there were only two or three kinds given on the list, and the dosage was small, so he memorized them all.
He didn't understand the medicine in Jiang Shuyao's hand. The antipyretic medicine given by the commune didn't seem to look like this. However, that was a long time ago. It was the first time antipyretic medicine was given, and there were no more after that. Therefore, the barefoot doctor had forgotten what the antipyretic medicine looked like.
"I bought this from the city. Older children can eat half a piece, and two quarters are enough for smaller children. I crush it into powder and feed it to the child first." Jiang Shuyao gave a brief explanation to the barefoot doctor.
The barefoot doctor agreed when he heard this. He thought that there must be more types of medicine in big cities, and it was nothing strange that he had never seen them before. He quickly went to help get the wooden pestle to crush the medicine.
Hao Yuanchao placed the two children on the bed and said, "Give them their medicine first. I'll get my bike over. We have to get the kids to the hospital."
Jiang Shuyao nodded. This was her point. Although the fever-reducing medicine was fast-acting and had few side effects, the child was so young and fragile that she couldn't rest assured if she didn't take him to the hospital.
However, it would take an hour or two to get to the town. Although it was a summer night, the wind was strong. Jiang Shuyao put the child on the bed and chased out. Seeing that no one was following her, she said to Hao Yuanchao, "Bring the wine and blankets." With a wave of her hand, a small jar of wine and two blankets appeared in front of him.
Hao Yuanchao understood and quickly put the things into the space, then walked quickly to the Hao family. When he returned, he found that Tiezhu's second aunt had moved the bicycle to the yard and was about to take the large package in. She was accompanied by a boy who was about the same height as Tiezhu.
Seeing Hao Yuanchao, Aunt Zhou looked a little uncomfortable, but also worried. She put down the package in her hand and asked, "Uncle Tiezhu, are the kids okay?"
Hao Yuanchao was still angry and didn't want to talk to her, fearing she would start cursing. But keeping silent would also seem impolite. After all, he was still her elder in terms of generation, so he could only say stiffly, "They have a fever. I'll take them to the hospital. Let me know if there's anything."
After saying that, he took the package from her hand and took it into the house. Hao Jianguo had reserved his room when he built the house. He went in, closed the door, quickly unpacked the package, took out the small wine jar and the blanket, then stuffed all the packages into the cabinet, came out holding the wine jar and the blanket, and rode away on his bicycle.
"Mom, that man is so fierce." The little boy said fearfully after Hao Yuanchao left.
"Don't be afraid, that's Tiezhu's second uncle." She tried to comfort him, but she wasn't quite at ease. Hao Yuanchao looked annoyed with her. But she felt she had done nothing wrong. She had taken good care of the four children for over a month. She had fed the two younger ones the milk powder and malted milk Hao Yuanchao had sent her, and she had given the older two eggs every day. She hadn't taken advantage of the living expenses Hao Yuanchao had given her. It was only a few days ago when her own child was sick that his father had sent him some milk powder and eggs. She had withheld some of the food rations, but she had also given Tiezhu and Shugen an egg every other day. When Shugen had a fever, she had gone to the barefoot doctor to get Chinese medicine. Who knew that Shugen's condition would relapse at night, and without mentioning it, the two children would also have a fever.
Children are not easy to take care of. She was also tired after her own child fell ill. There were cases in the past where a child recovered from a low fever on his own, so she thought about waiting to see if he could recover on his own. Barefoot doctors were of little use, and it would be too late to send him to the hospital. This was not her village, and she was unfamiliar with the place. So she prepared to feed him some sugar water, and after finishing the milk powder and malted milk (her son liked it, but she accidentally ran out of it), she decided to make do with it. Anyway, Hao Yuanchao would be back soon, but she never expected that Hao Yuanchao would come back at this time, and it happened that all three children had a fever. This feeling was a bit like when you steal someone else's things and they just happened to come back, and you get caught on the spot. That feeling of guilt and frustration. She had taken good care of the children, and tonight was an accident.
Zhou Er's aunt wanted to explain herself to Hao Yuanchao, but Hao Yuanchao ignored her completely, which made her feel uncomfortable and a little uncomfortable. She really did nothing wrong. In the countryside, every child with a fever would be cured first. Zhou Er's aunt felt a little more justified when she thought about it. She would explain it to Hao Yuanchao later. She really did take good care of the child, and the neighbors could also testify.
When Hao Yuanchao rode his bike back to the barefoot doctor's house, all three children had been fed medicine. It was easier to feed them tree roots, but when feeding the two younger ones, he basically drank half and spilled the other half. It was too bitter and the two children refused to swallow it and started crying loudly. After much difficulty in feeding them, Jiang Shuyao's clothes were a little wet.
"Thank you for your hard work. I will first apply some alcohol to lower the child's temperature." Both medication and physical cooling should be done, otherwise I will not feel at ease.
Jiang Shuyao made way. Hao Yuanchao was more skilled at using alcohol to cool things down than she was. This wine wasn't alcohol, but it was highly concentrated. It was a strong liquor given to Jiang Shuyao by a local when she was traveling in a village. The aroma was immediately apparent the moment it was opened.
The barefoot doctor felt like he was getting drunk just by smelling that wine! It was fine wine! He stared at the jar intently, wanting to ask for some.
Hao Yuanchao was completely oblivious to his desire and used some strong liquor to physically cool down the tree roots. He wiped the armpits and sides of the body with alcohol. However, since the two little ones were still babies, it was not convenient to use strong liquor, so Jiang Shuyao asked the barefoot doctor for some warm water to wipe them.
