Chapter 173: Why are you humming? It doesn’t hurt.
After regaining his composure, Gu Huai took the medicinal oil and entered the bedroom.
Gu Huai was tall, so he sat on the floor, and Yu Hui sat on the bed to apply the medicated oil on him.
"Take off your vest."
Gu Huai turned his back to her and took off his vest.
"Hiss..." Yu Hui took a breath of cold air.
It’s not because he has a good figure and strong muscles, but because the bruises on his back are too large, almost occupying one-third of his back, which is simply shocking.
The bruises were so severe and swollen, but he still said it was okay.
Beibei frowned slightly and pointed at his father's back with his little hand, "Bang, bang, back, it hurts..."
Beibei is so young, but everyone knows that the injury on his back will hurt, but he doesn't take it seriously.
"Daddy, it doesn't hurt." Gu Huai felt warm in his heart and turned to look at his daughter and comforted her.
It doesn’t hurt, right?
Yu Hui poured a lot of medicine into her palm and pressed it hard on the bruise on Gu Huai's back.
"Hmm..." Gu Huai frowned and let out a muffled groan.
Yu Hui rubbed the bruises on Gu Huai's back vigorously and said sarcastically, "What are you humming? Doesn't it hurt?"
Gu Huai gritted his teeth and closed his eyes in pain, but it still hurt a little.
He didn't think Yu Hui was punishing him on purpose, because rubbing the bruises away required force.
When she was in the army, the military doctor rubbed her harder than she did.
Yu Hui massaged Gu Huai for more than ten minutes, and only stopped when she was sweating.
"Okay, put on your clothes." Yu Hui got up from the bed and went outside to wash her hands.
Gu Huai put on a vest, looked down at the tent between his legs, and pulled the quilt over to cover it.
He felt like a beast. Xiao Hui was helping him apply the ointment and rub the bruises, and yet he was still...
At first he only felt pain, and nothing crazy came into his mind.
But gradually the medicated oil took effect, his back began to feel hot, and he got used to the pain, and then he felt the touch of her gentle palms rubbing against his back. This was how he felt in his youthful vigor.
Yu Hui came back after washing her hands and just lay down on the bed, Gu Huai stood up with his back to her, "You take Beibei to sleep first, I'm going to the bathroom."
After saying that, he turned off the lights.
Yu Hui looked at his dark back, her face full of question marks.
He went to the bathroom so he could just go to the bathroom, why did he turn off the lights?
Twenty minutes later, Yu Hui yawned and closed her eyes, and finally understood why he turned off the lights.
Because he knew he was constipated and wouldn't be back for a while, he turned off the lights before going out.
At this moment, Gu Huai, who was standing by the washing table, looked at his little brother who had not gone down yet, turned and went into the bathroom.
That's all there is to it.
When Gu Huai returned to the bedroom, it was already another twenty minutes later, and Yu Hui and Bei Bei were both asleep.
Although he couldn't see clearly because the lights were off, he could still see that Beibei was sleeping with his head resting on Yu Hui's arm, nestled in her arms.
Gu Huai smiled and also lay down on his own mat and fell asleep.
The next morning, when Gu Huai got up, Yu Hui had already returned from the grocery store with the groceries she had bought.
She bought a pair of pig intestines and planned to make some steamed pig intestines with rice flour for lunch.
In the morning, we had pork and scallion pie and mung bean porridge.
Mung bean porridge was specially cooked for Gu Huai. Constipation is easy to occur when one has a sore throat, and eating mung bean porridge can help reduce the sore throat.
After breakfast, the children went shrimp fishing with their father. Yu Hui gave them a piece of fat torn from the pig intestines and asked them to use it to fish for shrimp.
Gu Qiuyan and Gu Qiuye also went with them, while Yu Hui processed the pig intestines she had bought at home.
Zhao Changying stir-fried rice, glutinous rice, mung beans, fennel, star anise, osmanthus leaves, dried peppercorns and dried chilies in a large iron pot over low heat until the rice and glutinous rice turned slightly yellow and gave off a fragrant aroma.
Grind the fried rice into powder using a small stone mill. This is the powder used for steaming pig intestines.
Pig intestines are delicious, but they are a bit troublesome to clean.
Yu Hui used white vinegar and flour, rubbing and washing it repeatedly several times before it was completely clean and free of the overpowering smell of poop.
Cut the cleaned pig intestines into two-finger-wide segments, and then marinate them with cooking wine, soy sauce, salt, green onions, ginger, and garlic for two hours.
When you are ready to steam it, just coat it with flour.
Seeing that it was still early, Yu Hui wanted to go to the river to see how their shrimp fishing was going.
Not long after I walked out of the house, I saw Wang Tiaohua and Zhao Chunhong talking with their grandson and granddaughter on the roadside.
She nodded and smiled at the two of them, and even though it was a greeting, Wang Tiaohua called her.
"Xiao Yu, come and take a look at Zhenzhen's eyes and face. Are they a little swollen?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Hui turned around and walked forward, staring carefully at Wu Zhenzhen who was held by Zhao Chunhong, frowning slightly. Judging from the child's eyes, they were indeed a little swollen.
People also look listless and lack energy.
"It's a little swollen."
Wang Tiaohua: "Look, I told you that Zhenzhen's eyes and face were swollen, but you didn't believe me."
"Why is it swollen?" Zhao Chunhong looked at her granddaughter's face again. She looked at it every day, but she really couldn't see anything different.
Yu Hui said: "If children drink too much water before going to bed at night, they will experience edema when they wake up in the morning."
"My daughter Zhenzhen doesn't like to drink water. She doesn't drink much water before going to bed at night." Zhao Chunhong frowned.
Yu Hui frowned. "If the child doesn't drink enough water before going to bed at night and has facial edema, we need to consider other factors."
"Do you put too much salt in the complementary food your children eat?"
"What complementary food?" Zhao Chunhong was a little confused. "Since Zhenzhen started eating meat, she basically eats whatever the adults eat."
Yu Hui sighed, "She's still so young, and some of her organs haven't fully developed yet. She can't eat the same salty food as adults. She needs to control her salt and sugar intake before she's three years old."
"Zhenzhen's condition is most likely due to excessive salt intake, which has put a strain on her kidneys and caused sodium and water retention. I suggest you take her to the hospital immediately."
Zhao Chunhong's face turned pale when she heard this. "I've taken care of so many children, and they've always been fed like this. How come Zhenzhen has kidney problems?"
What Xiao Yu said caused a burden on the kidneys and caused retention. Doesn’t that damage the kidneys?
Wang Tiaohua also said when she heard it: "Our dog Kang Kang also eats with us and has never had swelling."
Yu Hui patiently explained, "This situation also varies from person to person. The absence of symptoms does not mean there is no harm."
"Excessive salt intake by children not only increases the burden on the kidneys, but also causes trace element deficiencies. It can also lead to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular problems due to excessive salt intake and strong flavors."
"Aunt Zhao, you'd better take the child to the hospital as soon as possible." Yu Hui looked at Zhao Chunfang and said.
"Okay, I'll go home now and let the child's mother take the child to the hospital." Zhao Chunfang hurriedly carried the child home.
Wang Tiaohua glanced at her precious grandson and thought to herself, I should use less salt when cooking in the future.
Xiao Yu brings up the child so well, so what he said must make sense.
