I'm not allowed to eat sugar or drink alcohol, and it's not good to go to someone for help empty-handed, otherwise -
"Take the malted milk."
in unison.
Yi Chichi's mouth twitched. This wouldn't work. The old man wouldn't accept malted milk. "Get a jar of pickled plums."
It can be eaten by both adults and children. It is high in vitamin C, and contains organic acids and enzymes. It is good for the stomach and intestines. It not only promotes digestion but also relieves stomach discomfort.
The most important thing is that pickling plums doesn’t cost much, just some labor and time.
The old man wouldn't refuse.
When this reason came out, the mother and son felt it made sense.
So, this topic ends here.
After breakfast, Wen Shi cleaned up the dishes, while Wen's mother continued to process the abalone. She had to go up the mountain in the afternoon, so she had to process the abalone and dry it in the sun to make dried abalone before going up the mountain.
Yi Chichi went back to the house, took out the powder bag and gave it to Wen's mother, then went out with Wen Shi.
When they arrived at the He family's yard, one of the couple went to work while the other took the plums into the house.
The grandparents and grandchildren are having breakfast.
Three-year-old He An was feeding porridge into his mouth with a spoon. When he saw Yi Chichi come in, his eyes lit up.
"Aunt!"
“Hey!”
She called out in a baby voice, and Yi Chizhi said "eh". Seeing that she was about to get down from the chair, she quickly stopped her and said, "Eat well. After you finish eating, auntie will play with you."
"Okay."
The little girl was obedient and agreed nicely and continued to work hard.
Mr. Zhang asked her to sit down and asked, "Have you eaten?"
"I came after I finished eating."
She put the can down, and the old man glared at her, about to curse. Yi Chichi, who knew him well, immediately said, "Pickled plums, my mother made them."
Mr. Zhang swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth and changed them to -
"It's open. Let me try one and see."
The breakfast was a bit bland. Based on his previous taste, even if it wasn't spicy, it would have to be a bit salty.
However, the baby's taste buds and kidneys are not fully developed yet, so they cannot eat foods with too strong flavors.
For the sake of the baby, the whole family eats light food.
Now that there is finally something appetizing, he must try it.
"Give!"
Yi Chizhi opened the jar, took out a spoon with familiarity, scooped out a fruit and handed it to the old man. The old man took it and sniffed it. The sour smell went straight up his nose and hit his head, making his mouth water instantly.
“Delicious!”
He praised it and couldn't wait to put the plum into his mouth.
In an instant, the rich juice filled his mouth, stimulating him so much that he shuddered and his face wrinkled.
He An swallowed hard and said in a louder voice, "Aunt, I want it!"
"Drink some water and see if it's sour."
Yi Chichi took a spoon and scooped some pickled plum syrup for her, just a little bit, for her to taste.
The old man did not stop her. He smiled and watched his great-granddaughter suck like a kitten, and then her little eyebrows wrinkled like a caterpillar.
“Is it very sour?”
"Not bad."
A lot of sugar was added to the pickled plums, and the acidity of the syrup was actually quite good. He An accepted it well and wanted to have another bite.
However, Yi hesitated to give her more water, "Finish your meal first."
As for whether the old man will give it back after the meal, that is a matter between the grandfather and grandson.
It has nothing to do with her.
He An didn't know that people were evil, and thought that she could drink the sugar water after the meal, so he ate the rest of the breakfast without saying a word.
Then, she opened her little mouth and said "ah", which clearly meant that she could drink sugar water after the meal.
Yi Chichi pointed at the old man and said, "Looking for the grandfather!"
Grandpa put the lid of the can on with a smile, and then put the can in the cupboard under He An's incredulous eyes. "I just finished eating, and there's no room in my stomach for sugar water. Drink it when you're full."
He An, “…”
He An pouted in grievance and his eyes turned red.
The old man was not at all panicked. "If you drink too much, your stomach will hurt. You need to drink the bitter juice. Are you sure you want to drink the sweet water first and then the bitter juice?"
"don't want."
Compared with the sweetness of sugar water and the bitterness and unpleasant smell of bitter juice, sugar water is not that important.
The child is just young, not stupid.
She knows what is important and what is not.
So, He An was comforted.
Then, she took the wooden puzzle that He Yunsong made for her and invited Yi Chichi to play with her.
The old man cleaned up the dishes, and when he was done he came over and sat on a chair to look at a large and a small puzzle, with a smile on his face.
"No one comes to the temple for no reason. Tell me, what are you doing here?"
"I need you to make some medicine."
"What medicine?"
Yi Chichi said the name of the medicine. The old man was stunned for a moment, then realized the purpose of her requesting the medicine. That is, "This medicine will be uniformly distributed on submarines."
"That's true, but Wen Shi said my combination is more effective."
The old man's mouth twitched, "You simply spoiled him."
Yi Chi Chi handed a piece of wood to He An, looked at her comparing it with the big picture, and said with a smile, "This is the only man I have, and I don't plan to marry again. If I don't pamper him a little, what will happen if he runs away!"
The old man laughed heartily. This person who dared to say anything in front of elders was exactly the same as his granddaughter.
No wonder these two get along so well.
We can also play together.
"Okay, tell me the name of the herbs and I'll prepare them for you."
Before he finished speaking, he remembered something and asked, "When do you want it?"
If you rush it, it might be difficult.
"Don't worry, we have to wait for the people from the third group to come back."
There is no need to rush, there is still enough time.
Five minutes later, the old man took the prescription she had written and read it carefully, saying meaningfully, "You are really willing to invest in it."
This prescription has strict requirements on the origin and age of the medicinal materials. No wonder Wen Shi asked her to prepare the powder.
"You're lucky to have met me. No one else would be able to gather all these herbs for you in such a short time."
This is the truth, and Yi Chichi knows it very well.
"So I came to see you."
The old man tutted his words, stood up and asked He An, "My dear, are you going out with Grandpa, or are you at home?"
He An was struggling with the puzzle and looked over when he heard the voice.
"Where are you going?"
"Hospital."
"My aunt and I are at home."
She can't go to the hospital because the smell is bad and she has to get injections, so she is afraid.
Although my mother works in a hospital and my father is a retired doctor, as a descendant of a medical family who has been pricked by injections, Xiao Hehua currently has no good impression of hospitals.
I was also very resistant to going to the hospital.
Seeing her frightened face, the old man did not force her, but said to Yi Chichi, "I'll leave it to you, dear. I'll go prepare the herbs for you now."
"Okay."
This was not the first time Yi Chichi had helped take care of He An, so she was not at all panicked.
Upon seeing this, the old man pushed his bicycle out and rode away, leaving the house in a very smooth and swift manner without any reluctance or hesitation.
It perfectly illustrates what it means to be an old man as fast as lightning.
"Grandpa is gone."
He An was a little reluctant to leave, so he took Yi Chi Chi's hand and asked her, "Aunt, when will Grandpa come back?"
"Come back when you're done."
She took the little girl into the house and said, "Once you finish the puzzle, I'll take you out to play, okay?"
"good."
Then, the big and the small worked together to complete the puzzle and left. (End of this chapter)
