Chapter 5: Pain-Relief Medicine
Lin Qingqing smiled and began to pick up the herbs.
Song Yiyuan heard the noise in the room and knew that Lin Qingqing had gone to the mountains.
His handsome eyebrows knitted together, and he decided to wait for Lin's father and mother to come and discuss with them in the evening before sending him to the county hospital.
His wound must be treated with anti-inflammatory drugs, otherwise it will continue to fester.
Lin Qingqing took out the herbs that Song Yiyuan wanted, washed them first, and then put them on the open ground to dry with some raw water on them.
It's mid-July now, and it will dry up soon.
Looking at the herbs all over the ground, Lin Qingqing smiled and felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment.
"Auntie, eat some fruit."
Daya brought a basin of washed fruits to Lin Qingqing and looked at her without blinking.
There are good things at home, and my aunt should eat them first. This is what my grandparents and dad said.
Lin Qingqing took a few, touched her head and said, "Give them to your younger brothers and sisters."
Thinking of the eggs in her pocket, she waved to Ermao and Simao standing under the tree.
"Ermao, Simao, come here, both of you."
Ermao and Simao heard the shouting and came trotting over with some wild fruits in their hands.
Lin Qingqing put the wild fruit in her pocket, took out the eggs and peeled them.
Ermao looked at the eggs with eager eyes, wondering if his aunt was going to eat the eggs in front of him.
Simao stared at the egg in Lin Qingqing's hand and swallowed his saliva.
Lin Qingqing broke the egg into two halves and put them in their hands.
"You two can eat this egg together. Give the eggs to the others later."
The two of them looked at the eggs in their hands, feeling a little confused. Aren’t eggs only eaten by the younger sister-in-law?
Ermao looked at Lin Qingqing in disbelief, as if asking her, "Is this really edible?"
Lin Qingqing touched their heads and said, "This is for you two."
The two of them staggered under the tree, looking at Lin Qingqing and wanting to laugh.
Lin Qingqing quickly flipped through the herbs and went to the kitchen to find a stone mortar.
Seeing Lin Qingqing busying around, a few little kids gathered around to watch. Ermao asked, "Auntie, what is this?"
"This is a herb that can cure diseases. Look, this is called Prunella Vulgaris." She picked up a plant and said.
"Let's help our aunt." Damao took the lead and said.
Lin Qingqing nodded and said that if she let them do some work, they might be happier.
"Da Mao, go heat up the stove. I need a pot."
Damao nodded excitedly after receiving the task. His aunt gave Ermao and Simao eggs to eat, and told them that if they performed well, they might also get some delicious and soft eggs to eat.
Da Mao ran to the stove and started to light the fire diligently.
"Da Ya, help me turn the herbs."
“Hey.”
Daya also responded happily, imitating Lin Qingqing's way and carefully turning over the herbs. Lin Qingqing smiled and praised them for their good work.
The pot on the stove was just heating up and the herbs were drying in the sun.
"Go play, Big Brother Damao will heat up some food for you later."
The Lin family would bring their own meals to eat outside when they went to work every day. Their home was far from the fields, so when they came back from work, they would keep some rice in a small pot and eat it after heating it up.
Lin Qingqing put all the herbs into a bamboo basket and put the ten herbs into the pot and stir-fried them until dry.
