Chapter 174: Be Happy
As soon as Zhao Chunhong returned home, she told her daughter Li Shuping, who was looking up information in the study, about the child.
Upon hearing this, Li Shuping took a closer look at her daughter's face and found that her eyes were indeed visibly swollen. She quickly took the child to the military hospital.
After going to the hospital and the doctor checked, it was indeed caused by eating too much salt and I needed to be on IV drip for two days.
Seeing her granddaughter receiving an IV drip with a large needle stuck in her hand, Zhao Chunhong blamed herself and wiped away her tears, saying, "This is all my fault. If I had listened to Tingting and not let Zhenzhen eat so much salt, Zhenzhen wouldn't have to suffer such a sin."
Tingting had reminded me a while ago that Gu Dong's stepmother said that children should not be given too much salt and sugar. She also laughed at Xiao Yu, saying that she had never given birth to a child and how could she know how to raise a child.
If she had listened at that time, Zhenzhen would not have injured her kidney.
The doctor just said that children cannot eat salt like adults. Before the age of three, it is best to only add a little salt.
"Mom, this is not your fault. You raised us this way. You didn't know that eating so much salt would cause problems for the child."
On the contrary, she was a negligent mother. Not only did she not understand, she didn't even notice that there was a problem with her child. She only found out after outsiders discovered and reminded her.
Seeing that her daughter didn't blame her, Zhao Chunhong cried even harder.
When she carried Zhenzhen back home, she was scared and panicked. She was afraid that if she went to the hospital and it turned out just as Xiaoyu had said, her daughter and son-in-law would blame her for not taking good care of the child.
"Okay, Mom, don't cry. Didn't the doctor say that if it is discovered in time, there is no big problem. You just need to pay attention to your diet in the future." Li Shuping comforted her.
Zhao Chunhong finally stopped crying and said, "I'll go home and make some egg drop porridge and bring it over."
The doctor told her that the child should eat light and nutritious food recently. After thinking about it, she decided that egg drop porridge was the light and nutritious food.
On her way home from the hospital, Zhao Chunhong passed by the Gu family's yard. She hesitated for a moment, then walked to the door and called out, "Is Xiaoyu home?"
Gu Huai was killing fish in the yard. When he heard the shouting, he looked towards the door and saw Deputy Political Commissar Wu's mother-in-law. "Aunt Zhao, Xiaohui is cooking in the kitchen. What do you want to see her for?"
Zhao Chunhong: "I want to ask her something."
Yu Hui, who heard the voice, came out of the kitchen, walked to the door, looked at Zhao Chunhong and asked, "Is Zhenzhen okay?"
"She's in the hospital getting an IV drip. What the doctor said is pretty much the same as what you said. She needs two days of IV drips and needs to be careful about her diet. She can't eat any salty food."
Yu Hui was relieved after hearing this. "It's nothing serious. I'm glad you're not serious. Just be careful with your diet in the future."
"Xiao Yu, I want to ask you, how do you usually cook for Bei Bei?"
Since the other person came to ask for advice sincerely, Yu Hui did not hide anything and told them how she usually makes complementary food for Beibei.
Zhao Chunhong was shocked after hearing this. No wonder she took such good care of Beibei and was so particular about her food.
Beibei’s meals are all cooked individually.
When cooking porridge, there are vegetables, meat, and pig liver. They say that it should be nutritionally balanced and the amount of food you eat should not be too important.
After listening to Xiao Yu, Zhao Chunhong, who always thought she was good at raising children, realized that she had raised her children too roughly.
This is what it means to raise a child carefully.
Gu Huai caught a big grass carp in the river and had braised fish and steamed pork intestines with rice flour for lunch.
The pig intestines were steamed until soft and tasted fragrant and glutinous, and everyone liked it very much.
During the meal, Zhao Changying asked Zhao Chunhong why she came to see Yu Hui?
Yu Hui told her about Zhenzhen.
Zhao Changying frowned when she heard this and said, "A one or two-year-old kid eating with adults, could really make people sick?"
She was a little skeptical.
"Gu Huai and his nephews and nieces are all taken care of by me. When we have meat, they eat whatever the adults eat, and we've never seen any problems."
Yu Hui said: "It's just individual differences. It doesn't necessarily mean you'll have problems, but eating too much salt is definitely bad for your health and won't do you any good."
Gu Qiuyan immediately complained, "My mother-in-law usually cooks salty dishes. I said it was too salty, and she said pickles go well with rice."
Zhao Changying glared at her. "We used to say that if you don't eat enough salt, you won't have the energy to work."
Gu Huai smiled and said, "Mom, what you're talking about was in the past. Salt was expensive back then, and people couldn't afford it. People wouldn't even add more salt. In the past, people didn't have enough salt to work, and their bodies felt weak. Now that conditions are better and there's enough salt, are there still people who don't have the energy to work because they don't have enough salt?"
Zhao Changying curled her lips and said nothing.
Yu Hui looked at her and said, "Mom, you're getting older, so you should eat less salt. Eating too much salt is not good for your health."
"Aren't there always elderly people in our village who are prone to dizziness? That's called high blood pressure, and it's related to eating too much salt."
She remembered that her great-grandfather had this problem.
"Really?" Zhao Changying widened her eyes.
The wife of Zhao Quezi in the village had been suffering from dizziness since she was forty years old. She felt dizzy from time to time and passed away after a dizzy spell when she was just sixty years old.
"Really." Yu Hui nodded. "Mom, if you don't believe me, you can go to the military hospital and ask a doctor."
"I believe it, I believe it." When she got home, she would use less salt when cooking.
In the morning, Gu Huai and his friends caught a full bucket of crayfish, and in the evening, Yu Hui made three flavors of crayfish.
Steamed, garlicky, spicy.
There were so many crayfish this time that when mixing the noodles, everyone peeled the crayfish and mixed the noodles with the shrimp meat.
Gu Huai was very satisfied with the meal. After finishing it, he even suggested that Yu Hui make him some more sauce so that he could take it to the army tomorrow to mix with steamed buns and noodles.
"You don't have to put meat in it. You can also make some chili sauce that goes well with rice." Gu Huai added.
Yu Hui glanced at the beautiful peppers growing in the flowerbed in the corner and said, "Then I'll make you two bottles of roasted pepper sauce."
The peppers are growing so well that we can’t eat them all, so we can make them into roasted pepper sauce.
"Okay." He likes chili peppers.
Yu Hui didn't wait until the next morning. After Gu Qiuye washed the dishes, she picked peppers and started making roasted pepper sauce.
Roasted pepper sauce, roasted pepper sauce, the peppers must be roasted.
I built a small fire in the yard with some twigs and firewood, and threw the washed long green peppers directly into the fire.
When the surface is burnt to the point of tiger skin, take it out, shake off the ashes, tear off the burnt black skin, and pound it in a stone mortar for crushing garlic.
Add some salt, green peppercorns and garlic when pounding.
The flavors of chili peppers, green peppercorns, and garlic mixed together are very charming.
Gu Qiuyan drooled as she pounded the food.
Yu Hui heated up the oil in a pan, added bay leaves, cinnamon, ginger and scallion slices into the oil, and after the oil had fried the ginger and scallion slices dry, she took them out.
Pour the hot oil directly on the pounded chili peppers to make them more fragrant.
Gu Qiuyan couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks, picked up some roasted pepper sauce and put it into her mouth.
"It's so delicious! I can eat three bowls of rice just with this roasted pepper sauce."
"Dad, you should be so happy that you can marry my sister Xiaohui."
My mother-in-law said that my father was not happy at first.
Gu Huai thought to himself, "How do you know I'm not secretly happy?"
