Aunt Wang and Mrs. Zhang quickly made way to make it easier for Bai Guoguo to feed Hu Zi the medicine.
"Huzi, I'm going to give you some medicine, but don't be afraid. It's sweet and you'll get better soon after taking it."
Bai Guoguo coaxed little Hu Zi softly. Although Hu Zi couldn't speak, he tilted his little head and looked at Bai Guoguo with bright eyes, which were full of trust.
Bai Guoguo felt softened by the child's innocent and trusting eyes and touched his little head.
Then he unscrewed the can, took the small bowl and spoon handed to him by Mrs. Zhang, shook the can, and poured 1/6 of the medicine into it.
I also followed Mrs. Zhang's example and fed him medicine one spoonful at a time.
Hu Zi was very well behaved and finished the medicine in a short while. Bai Guoguo then took out two vitamin C tablets and put them in his mouth.
This vitamin C tablet contains mint extract and borneol. It tastes sour, sweet and cool in the mouth, and even the sore throat is relieved after a while.
He smiled happily, and didn't want to lie down anymore, so he struggled to sit up.
"You are such a troublesome kid. You never calm down for a moment!" Mrs. Zhang saw that her son was much more energetic. She scolded him with a smile on her face while wrapping a quilt around him.
He Gang saw that his nephew had taken the medicine. Since the room was full of female comrades and it was not convenient to stay there, he quietly went out and closed the door.
Bai Guoguo was pulled onto the kang by Aunt Wang and Aunt Zhang. The three women surrounded Xiao Huzi, chatting and observing his reaction.
Maybe because Hu Zi had not taken too many antibiotics, the medicine took effect quickly. After more than 10 minutes, he broke out in a sweat and his body temperature dropped.
Bai Guoguo asked Mrs. Zhang to find a flashlight and check his throat. The swelling was not too severe now.
"Our Tiger is awesome. He's already cooled down. Come on, take a few more Vitamin C tablets. This way your throat will heal faster."
Bai Guoguo happily rubbed Xiao Huzi's face and put two vitamin C tablets in his mouth.
Aunt Wang and Mrs. Zhang finally put their minds at ease, and the three women giggled and teased Little Tiger.
By the way, I hurriedly changed him into dry clothes and spread the slightly sweaty clothes on the head of the kang.
This way it will dry out after a while, and you can wear it again if little Tiger sweats later.
After sweating and taking the vitamin C tablet, Mrs. Zhang fed Hu Zi half a bowl of canned soup, and Hu Zi fell asleep.
"Thank you so much, sister. You brought me both medicine and canned food. I don't know how to thank you enough."
As Mrs. Zhang spoke, her eyes turned red again. Her son had had a high fever for two days, and she had been very anxious and tormented during those two days.
In the surrounding area, countless children became idiots or died due to high fever.
Their family is relatively well-off and can afford to spend money on their child's medical treatment, but the lack of medical care and medicine is really life-threatening!
It didn't seem that serious yesterday, but it got worse overnight.
By noon, Hu Zi's throat was so swollen that he couldn't speak or drink his porridge, which made the whole family very anxious.
Look, the child’s great-grandfather, great-grandmother and grandfather are still catching pheasants for the child in the woods.
It was just because Xiao Huzi mentioned in the morning that his educated youth sister Bai Jiejie had made beggar's chicken for him once, and it was so delicious that he almost swallowed his tongue.
So the three old men went to the woods to catch pheasants for him, hoping that the child could have more food.
"Little Tiger is talking about the roast chicken we made during our last picnic by the stream. But he has a fever and a sore throat now, so he can't eat that. Instead, we can make a clear soup with mushrooms and chicken. It's not greasy and it's good for nourishing the body."
When Bai Guoguo heard that Xiao Huzi was sick and was still thinking about the roast chicken, she felt funny in her heart. After all, he was just a child.
"Oh, Aunt Wang, last time I heard Hu Zi say that his grandmother can throw darts and can hit pheasants with every shot. Is that true?"
At this point, Bai Guoguo remembered what Xiao Huzi boasted about last time, and asked Aunt Wang with curiosity.
"This is true. My grandmother was a heroine back then. She killed countless Japanese soldiers with her darts!"
When talking about her legendary mother-in-law, Aunt Wang's face was full of admiration.
Mrs. Zhang next to her nodded with sparkling eyes. She had also witnessed her great-grandmother's dart skills.
"So it's true! I thought Little Tiger was just bragging. I wish I could meet such a heroic woman. I also want to see her dart skills!"
Bai Guoguo's eyes were shining. She sat on the kang with her legs crossed, holding her face with both hands and shaking it from side to side, with a look of longing on her face!
My dear children, who can understand? A hero of the green forest, a heroic woman, a dart master, these characters that only appear in martial arts novels are right next to us, who can not be excited!!!
