Chapter 130
What's even more tragic is that while she was receiving the antibiotic drip, the bowl of fish soup also took effect. The colostrum came in so violently that her breasts turned into two hard stones. Because she couldn't let the baby suck because of the antibiotics, and the breast pump couldn't suck it out, she ended up developing mastitis.
When she finally recovered and was discharged from the hospital, her milk supply was gone, and the child ended up having to eat formula milk.
After listening to what Shi Ye said, Shao Ya also became a little nervous: "Well, if it really is that congestion, how can we treat it?"
"The specific plan needs to be evaluated by an expert doctor. I can only recommend that you give pregnant women a low-fat diet."
Bile is secreted by the liver according to the body's needs and stored in the gallbladder. If your daily diet is light and the demand for bile secretion is less, then naturally less bile will accumulate in the gallbladder.
…
When they left Uncle Shao's house, it was already completely dark. There were few public street lights in the town, and many alleys were dim. Shi Ye hugged Jiang Zhinian, and the two of them slowly walked out.
"Going for a walk on the street, or going back."
"We just finished our meal, let's go for a walk on the street."
The main street of the ancient town is actually a commercial street, which is basically occupied by foreign merchants, with various petty bourgeois-style shops.
"The girl named Ayun just now looked very young."
"Women in this town who don't get into college basically get married."
Including Shao Ya's son Shao Sen, who failed to get into university and followed his father to learn a craft, then got married and had children, and continued such an ordinary life. However, with the development of society, many non-technical majors have the problem of devaluation of academic qualifications, and sometimes they are not as good as craftsmen like them.
"Your mother is amazing." Being able to pass the exam and leave such a closed and remote town, breaking away from the original established track, seeing a wider world, and finding one's own social value.
"Uncle Shao said he once asked my mother if she regretted it."
Jiang Zhinian's heart moved, and he seemed to understand something.
At that time, Shi Mei, who had broken up with her family and was pregnant, was walking alone in the bluestone alleys of the ancient town with a suitcase. It was drizzling, and she didn't hold an umbrella. She just smiled and said to Shao Ya who was chasing after her.
“I have no regrets about any decision I have made.”
"Shao Ya, don't wait for me. I can never stay in your little yard and be a virtuous woman who washes clothes and cooks for you."
"We are not the same kind of people. We can't live together."
At that moment, Shao Ya, who had been waiting stubbornly, suddenly realized that he and his small courtyard had never been in Shi Mei's life. No matter how long he waited there like a cow, Shi Mei would never look back for him.
She looked down on his life and didn't want to get involved.
After thinking it through, he immediately agreed to his family's blind date and married a gentle, unambitious woman who was willing to stay with him in this small courtyard for the rest of her life. They had children and lived an ordinary half-life.
…
There is a small circular square in the center of the town. In order to attract tourists, a bonfire is lit every weekend, and some local boys and girls are sent out to lead tourists to dance around the bonfire.
However, tomorrow is the day of "Spring Lady Blessing", and the bonfire in the evening will be a little different. Some young men and women in special costumes will come to the center of the square and lead tourists in dancing a blessing dance.
"What kind of prayer activities will be held tomorrow?" Jiang Zhinian and Shi Ye sat on a stone bench not far away, watching the tourists and locals singing and dancing together, it looked very lively.
"A sixteen-year-old boy will dress up as the Spring Girl and ride on a sedan chair around the town. Residents and tourists can sprinkle water on the Spring Girl with willow branches to express their blessings. The Spring Girl will then scatter flower petals, bestowing the blessings they have prayed for upon the believers."
"Spring Girl is a boy?"
"Um."
According to legend, in ancient times, the Spring Girl was a sixteen-year-old girl who was tied up and sent to the mountains to be offered as a sacrifice to the mountain god. One year, a brave young man did not want his sister to die, so he volunteered to dress up as the Spring Girl and went to the mountains in his sister's place.
Fortunately, the boy returned home safely. Later, this bad custom of sending young girls to die was abolished, so people got used to using young boys instead of Spring Girl to pray for blessings.
The willow water sprinkled by the residents represents tears of reluctance, while the flower petals scattered represent the reward from the mountain god.
…
After they had finished their shopping, they returned to the B&B.
The boss was sitting in the yard admiring the moon. When he saw the two of them coming back, he pointed to the stars above his head and said, "Look, how bright the stars are! It will definitely be a sunny day tomorrow."
Jiang Zhinian looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, the starry sky tonight was beautiful. She took out the blessing amulet that Shi Ye had made for her, and compared the two moons together, wondering if anyone had ever looked up at the moon twenty-five years ago like she did.
"Boss, can you take a photo for us?" Jiang Zhinian took out his cell phone and handed it to the boss.
The two stood under the moonlight, surrounded by mountains, and took a photo of themselves.
The boss returned the phone to Jiang Zhinian. While Jiang Zhinian was checking the photos, he winked at Shi Ye and said, "Hurry up."
Shi Ye nodded and took Jiang Zhinian upstairs.
When Jiang Zhinian came out of the bathroom after washing her hands, she looked up and saw Shi Ye sitting by the window in the room with the lights off, holding a cake with candles on it.
Behind him was the soft moonlight, and the light shone on his head, making his whole body seem to be coated with a layer of soft light, like a mountain goblin.
"Happy birthday."
Jiang Zhinian walked over and said with a smile, "Why don't you sing birthday song for me?"
"It's not a good song."
"Then let's sing together."
The cake was white, a very simple piece, with a single candle on it. It didn’t represent how many years it was, but was just for the purpose of being able to blow it out after making a wish.
Jiang Zhinian closed his eyes in the dim candlelight and made a wish.
In fact, she has many wishes, but she dares not be greedy. She just silently hopes for "peace every year, no illness and no disaster."
He opened his eyes, blew out the candle, and the lights came on again in an instant. Everything that had just happened seemed like a dream. All the monsters and mountain fog were blown away, leaving only an ordinary couple in the secular world.
The husband picked up the cake knife and gave a piece to his pregnant wife with precise measurement. They shared the small cake together, shoulder to shoulder.
"Shi Ye, when did you order the cake?"
"Please trouble the B&B owner to book it for me in advance." The town is very small and there is only one cake shop. You need to make a reservation one day in advance to arrange the production.
Jiang Zhinian leaned his head on Shi Ye's shoulder and looked at the moon outside the window: "I really like this feeling..."
The small town under the moonlight is quiet and peaceful. The residents of the town still live the most primitive life, working from sunrise to sunset, without much change, which also means that there are not too many storms in life.
