"Then we'll give her an IV drip!"
Qiao Dongliang said without hesitation, and then he saw that the doctor's face was not very good: "What's wrong, does my daughter have other problems?"
The doctor thought for a while and asked: "How is your family's condition?"
"Not bad." Qiao Dongliang was stunned, with a nervous look on his face: "Is my daughter suffering from a serious illness that will cost a lot of money? It doesn't matter, no matter how much money it costs, if my daughter is sick, we will definitely treat her, doctor, we can't give up!"
Qiao Nan, who was sitting on the side, was also stunned. She had suffered most of her life in her previous life. Although she had minor pains and minor illnesses, she didn't have a serious illness?
The doctor relaxed his frown: "Don't be nervous, your daughter is not sick, it's just..."
"Just what?" Why did this doctor breathe heavily when he spoke? It was so anxious.
"Your daughter doesn't have a serious problem, she's just a little malnourished. She's been hungry for a long time, and her body will be seriously ill."
The doctor's words made Qiao Dongliang's face turn red. This is not the 1960s and 1970s,
where people were hungry and hungry. How could a little girl be malnourished and hungry?
This is a male doctor, and there are some things that are embarrassing to ask, so he asked the nurse to call a female doctor over.
After the female doctor came, she asked directly: "How old are you?"
"15."
"Have you had your period? Did you know from physiology class that girls have to have it every month?"
Qiao Nan did not respond, but Qiao Dongliang blushed in embarrassment: "Nan Nan?"
Qiao Nan shook her head in confusion: "Probably not."
In fact, Qiao Nan knew very well that she had not had her first period at this time.
Just like the doctor said, she was malnourished, often hungry when she was growing up, and always had cramps when she slept at night. Because of this, she did not have her first period until she was 18 years old.
Qiao Zijin is two years older than her, but three years ago, she washed Qiao Zijin's dirty pants. In other words, Qiao Zijin had her first period when she was fourteen.
Qiao Dongliang didn't know the situation of his younger daughter, but because of his wife's relationship, he knew the situation of his older daughter.
Every time the older daughter's period came, his wife would serve her with warm water and brown sugar water.
Qiao Dongliang calculated that when the older daughter "grew up", she was one year younger than the younger daughter now.
Compared with this, Qiao Dongliang was a little nervous: "Is it too late for my daughter?"
The female doctor said seriously: "Not really. Normally, a girl's menarche is between twelve and sixteen years old. But your daughter is too thin. Have you fed her?"
According to this, even if she is sixteen years old, this little girl may not be able to have her menarche.
Qiao Dongliang was speechless when asked. Of course he would feed her. How could he deprive his little daughter of a bite of food?
However, both doctors said that his little daughter was malnourished and her development was delayed. Qiao Dongliang was very embarrassed.
Although his family did not eat meat and fish every meal, there were always meat dishes on the table from time to time. Qiao Dongliang was also wondering, how could his little daughter be malnourished?
Qiao Dongliang didn't know how his little daughter became malnourished, but Qiao Nan herself knew how this malnutrition came about.
Since she was little, her mother wouldn't let her eat more rice, let alone vegetables. She was only 50% to 60% full after each meal.
She also had to go to class and study, and she was still growing taller.
Qiao Nan clearly remembered that when she was in school, her stomach would often growl like thunder from the second class.
In her previous life, her mother coaxed her to work while studying because she thought that she could earn money, and even if she didn't have much, she could always afford to have three full meals, right?
Ignoring the father and daughter's embarrassment, the female doctor said responsibly: "You don't need to take too much supplements, but you should always prepare some meat. This child is in the growth period. If he doesn't eat enough and doesn't have meat, you don't favor boys over girls, do you?"
"No, I have two daughters!" Qiao Dongliang shook his head. How can you favor boys over girls? Both girls are good.
At this time, a very loud gurgling sound came from Qiao Nan's stomach.
When she heard this loud sound, the female doctor knew that the child had been hungry for a long time: "Have you eaten today?"
Qiao Nan's little face drooped, and the whole person was listless.
The female doctor was angry: "How can you be a parent? Your child is sick, but you don't give him food?!"
Qiao Nan was so weak that her voice was as small as a mosquito's: "Doctor, don't blame my dad. My dad has to go to work, he doesn't know."
"Your dad doesn't know, so what about your mom? Your mom doesn't care?"
When asked about her mom, Qiao Nan started to play dumb.
Qiao Dongliang didn't understand anything at this time. This was the first time in his life that Qiao Dongliang felt so ashamed that he wished there was a hole in the ground so he could crawl into it.
Not only did his little daughter have no medicine to take when she was sick, but she didn't even have food to eat?
This...
Qiao Dongliang rubbed his face: "Doctor, the child is still running a fever. How about giving him an IV first? I'll buy him some food now?"
"Eat lightly. You've been hungry for so long. Don't eat too much all at once." The doctor wrote a prescription and said no more.
Qiao Nan, who was still dizzy, was helped to get an IV. After a while, he smelled the fragrance of porridge.
Qiao Dongliang broke out in a sweat: "I borrowed this bowl from the restaurant next door. Eat it. Dad will return it later."
"Okay." Qiao Nan responded and drank the porridge in small sips very gracefully.
Seeing his little daughter eating porridge quietly, and thinking of what the doctor said, Qiao Dongliang felt particularly uncomfortable: "Nannan, do you have a poor appetite?"
Qiao Nan, who was drinking porridge, paused: "I have a good appetite, but my mother doesn't let me eat more, saying that there is not much rice at home, and it is better for girls to be thin."
Her father didn't believe that her mother would starve her and starve her to the point of malnutrition, so he was making excuses for her mother?
Qiao Dongliang's eyes dimmed. "Do you want to eat meat?"
"I love it." Qiao Nan still replied: "But mom said that dad has to work hard every day, so he should eat more. Sister has to study and eat more because she uses her brain. Mom works hard for this family, so she should eat more. "
As for her, she has made no contribution to the other side. She is just an idler who eats for free and has no right to touch the vegetables.
"..."
Qiao Dongliang took a deep breath, a little bit unbelieving that this was what his wife said to their little daughter: "When we were at home, every time there was pickled vegetables at home, I saw your mother pick up some for you."
Not much, but definitely some.
