Chapter 113 Self-blame
"Have you seen a doctor?"
Zhao Chunhua frowned and asked, thinking that since the child was sick, it would be more effective to go directly to the doctor than to her.
Despite this, she still walked back into the house, earnestly told Shu Ziying to take good care of Xiao Shitou, then closed the door and hurried away with Chen Mai.
"I've asked someone to find a doctor," Shen Mai's voice was filled with obvious worry, "Tangyuan cried a lot this time, and our little Tiaotiao also seemed a little uncomfortable."
Shen Mai was really worried because she only had one child, Tiao Tiao, and even though she might have other children in the future, Tiao Tiao would always have a special place in her heart.
When they arrived at the Shu family, Shu Yixian was holding the pale-faced Tiao Tiao in his arms, while the old village doctor was taking the pulse of Tang Yuan in Tang's mother's arms.
This old doctor once studied medicine seriously and worked in a clinic in the town when he was young. Now that he is old, he has returned to live in the village.
Whenever the villagers had a headache or a fever, they would bring some things and ask him for help.
If no medicine is needed, eggs or fresh vegetables will usually be used as a reward; if a prescription is given, you need to pay, after all, the prescription is written on paper and there is always a fee; as for buying medicine, you have to go to the town because his medicinal materials are not very complete; if it is a house call, no matter whether it is a big or small matter, you have to pay a consultation fee.
"He just eats too much. Let him eat something light first. No meat or cakes for now."
The old doctor said slowly.
"Doctor, Tiaotiao's symptoms are different from his cousin's. Did he also eat too much?"
Shen Mai asked anxiously.
The old doctor nodded, "Yes, that's the case. Even for the same disease, the symptoms may be different in different people. Everyone's physical condition and constitution are different, so you need to pay more attention to details during treatment. For example, dietary control is very important. Remember to control your diet and avoid eating too greasy or spicy food. I'll ask my nephew to go with me later. We'll go to the mountains to pick some fresh hawthorns and boil them into water for them to drink. This will have a good relief effect."
Shu Yixian agreed and personally sent the old doctor back.
At this time, Tiao Tiao saw Shen Mai stretching out his hand to be held, so she took the child with a smile and patted his back gently to make him feel at ease.
After learning some details, Zhao Chunhua found out that the two children had actually started showing symptoms of discomfort as early as this morning, and had not even eaten anything for lunch.
In order to make them recover as soon as possible, she asked Shen Mai for a fresh egg and a little good flour, then went into the kitchen and started working.
First, carefully pour the flour into a bowl, then add a little warm water, stirring while adding until they are mixed into a uniform dough.
Next, gradually add more water to thin it out, and keep mixing until the dough becomes thin enough.
Boil a pot of water, and when the water boils, she slowly pours in the prepared batter, stirring it quickly and methodically with a spoon to prevent the batter from clumping.
Next, add the beaten eggs and continue stirring until the pot boils.
Finally, add a few drops of sesame oil to enhance the flavor, and sprinkle in a small amount of salt for seasoning, and serve a bowl in front of each person.
This soup was specially made for Zhao Chunhua by her grandmother whenever she was sick as a child. Although life was not easy at that time, the presence of her grandmother made her feel that life was full of hope.
It’s a pity that the wise old lady with clever words and kind heart did not live to see her grandchildren grow up and enjoy their company.
Since coming to this strange and unknown era, Zhao Chunhua has taken care of Xiao Shitou as wholeheartedly as her grandmother did to her when she was a child.
"Remember to cool it down before feeding it to children. Don't just scoop it out of the pot and give it to them. It will be too hot and hurt their throats."
As she spoke, her eyes sparkled with warmth.
Tang's mother seemed quite embarrassed. She had originally planned to stay here for a few days and had brought some carefully prepared snacks with her. However, she did not expect that her grandson would act like a spoiled child and she was unable to resist. In the end, she gave all the snacks in her hand to him.
This series of actions has led to the current situation.
"Mother-in-law, please don't blame yourself too much for this. It is normal to give children some snacks occasionally. As long as we pay more attention to the amount of food we give in the future, it will be fine."
Who hasn’t suffered from gastrointestinal discomfort due to greed when they were a child?
Not only children, but even adults often lose their rationality in front of delicious food, resulting in various physical problems.
"In the next few days, please let the two children eat more food that is easy to digest and absorb.
For example, porridge is a good choice; at the same time, they should also eat more vegetable foods to help relieve symptoms. In contrast, they should reduce their demand for meat, especially avoid those with strong taste, spicy and greasy food or food with high sweetness. "
Shen Mai and Tang Jianxi nodded in agreement quickly. In fact, they knew very well that if they had only consumed cakes once or twice, it would not have caused such a serious impact. The real problem was that the family's diet had become more and more abundant recently, and there were always relatives and friends giving away all kinds of delicacies for the children to taste.
Not to mention that the children always secretly enjoy the jujube tea with its tempting aroma when the adults are not paying attention.
It is the combined effect of these factors that caused problems in their physical condition.
After seeing that the two boys each drank about half a bowl of white porridge, they looked much better than before. Zhao Chunhua could finally leave with peace of mind.
But at this moment, the place she cares about most is still her warm and comfortable home.
Because compared to her mother-in-law, whose words are always unclear and difficult to understand and whose behavior is a little out of tune with others, she obviously prefers the ease and comfort of home.
It took a lot of effort to travel through time and space. Although I suddenly became several years younger, now I just want to live every day in peace and stability.
I don't want to waste too much energy on such trivial matters.
After staying in the old house for more than an hour, when I stepped into the house again, I found that the little boy in the house had woken up.
Although she didn't hear him crying this time, Zhao Chunhua still patiently and carefully explained to her baby what had just happened.
"Your two brothers were slightly unwell because they ate too much, so I went over to see what was going on. I hope you can learn from this lesson and stop eating snacks without restraint. We need to grow up healthy and happy."
