Chapter 6 Bad
"Then let's give him an IV!"
Qiao Dongliang said without hesitation, and then saw that the doctor's face was not good: "What's wrong? Does my daughter have other problems?"
The doctor thought for a moment and asked, "What are your family conditions like?"
"Back to school" 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 the previous life. Although she had pains and illnesses, she didn't have any serious illnesses.
The doctor relaxed his frown and said, "Don't be nervous. Your daughter is not sick. She is just..."
"What is it?" Why is the doctor gasping for breath while speaking? It's really frustrating.
"Your daughter doesn't have any serious problems, she's just a little malnourished. If she stays hungry for too long, she'll have serious health problems."
The doctor's words made Qiao Dongliang's face turn red. This is not the 1960s or 1970s, when people were not only hungry but also suffering from famine.
My daughter is malnourished and can't eat enough. How can this be possible?
This was a male doctor, and he was embarrassed to ask some questions, so he asked the nurse to call a female doctor over.
When the female doctor came, she asked directly, "How old are you?"
“15.”
"Have you had your period? Did you know from your physiology class that girls have their period once a month?"
Qiao Nan didn't respond, but Qiao Dongliang blushed in embarrassment: "Nan Nan?"
Qiao Nan shook his head in confusion: "Probably not."
In fact, Qiao Nan knew very well that she had not yet had her first menstruation.
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 didn't have her first period until she was 18.
Qiao Zijin is two years older than her, but three years ago, she had washed Qiao Zijin's dirty pants. In other words, Qiao Zijin had her first period when she was fourteen.
Qiao Dongliang was not aware of his daughter's situation, but because of his wife's relationship, he understood the situation of his eldest daughter.
Every time the eldest daughter's birthday comes, my wife serves her with warm water and brown sugar water.
Qiao Dongliang calculated that when his eldest daughter "grew up", she would be one year older than his current daughter.
Comparing this to others, Qiao Dongliang became a little nervous: "Isn't it too late for my daughter?"
The female doctor said sternly, "Not really. Normally, girls have their first period between the ages of twelve and sixteen. But your daughter is too thin. Have you fed her?"
At this rate, even at the age of sixteen, this girl may not reach her first period.
Qiao Dongliang was speechless when asked. Eat, of course he was given food. How could he let the girl eat a bite of food?
However, both doctors said that his daughter was suffering from malnutrition, which had delayed her development. Qiao Dongliang was extremely embarrassed.
Although his family didn't always have big fish and meat, there were always pickled vegetables on the table from time to time. Qiao Dongliang was also wondering why his daughter was malnourished.
Qiao Dongliang didn't know why his daughter became malnourished, but Qiao Nan knew in her heart how the malnutrition came about.
From then on, let alone vegetables, her mother wouldn't let her eat too much rice, and after a meal, she was only 50% to 60% full.
She has to go to class and study, even though she is still growing taller.
Qiao Nan clearly remembered that when she was in school, her stomach would often growl like thunder starting from the second class.
In her previous life, her mother coaxed her into studying and working because she wanted to earn money. Even if she didn't have much, she could at least afford 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. You should always prepare some meat. The child is in the growth period. If you don't feed him enough meat and don't let him eat meat, you don't favor boys over girls, do you?"
"No, I have two daughters!" Qiao Dongliang shook his head. How could he favor boys over girls? They are all daughters, so they are definitely the same.
At this moment, a very loud growling sound came from Qiao Nan's stomach.
As soon as she heard the loud voice, the female doctor knew that the child had been hungry for a long time: "Have you eaten today?"
Qiao Nan's face drooped and he looked listless.
The female doctor was angry: "How can you be a parent? Your child is sick and you don't give him food?!"
Qiao Nan was so weak that his voice was as soft as a mosquito's: "Doctor, don't blame my dad. My dad has to go to work. He doesn't know."
"Your father doesn't know, what about your mother? Your mother doesn't care either?"
When asked about her mother, Qiao Nan started to act dumb.
There was nothing that Qiao Dongliang didn't understand at this time. It 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.
My daughter is sick and has no medicine to take. She doesn’t even have a meal?
This……
Qiao Dongliang rubbed his face and said, "Doctor, the child is still running a fever. How about giving him an IV first? I'll go 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 drip, and soon he smelled the fragrance of porridge.
Qiao Dongliang was sweating profusely as he ran: "I borrowed this bowl from the restaurant next door. You eat it, and I'll return it to you later."
"Yeah." Qiao Nan responded and then drank the porridge in a very delicate manner.
Seeing his daughter eating porridge quietly, and thinking of the doctor's words, Qiao Dongliang felt particularly upset: "Nannan, do you have a poor appetite?"
Qiao Nan paused while drinking porridge: "I have a good appetite, but my mother won't let me eat too much. There's not much rice at home, and it's better for girls to be thin."
Her father doesn't believe that her mother would starve her and cause her to become malnourished, so he is making excuses for her mother?
Qiao Dongliang's eyes were filled with tears. "Do you want to eat meat?"
"I love to eat." Qiao Nan still answered, "But mom, dad has to work hard every day, so he has to eat more. Sister has to study and use her brain, so she has to eat more. Mom works hard for this family, so she has to eat more."
As for her, she has made no contribution to the other side. She is just a freeloader and has no right to touch the meat.
“…”
Qiao Dongliang took a deep breath, and couldn't believe that this was what his wife said to their daughter: "When we were at home, every time there was pickled vegetables at home, I saw your mother always gave you some."
Not much, but definitely some.
Qiao Nan didn't say anything. He finished the whole bowl of porridge and then said, "Mom, she has the nerve to pick it up, but I don't have the nerve to eat it. So every time Mom picks it up for me, she hints that I should go to the kitchen and put the meat back."
