After that call, Mu Huaixi became even busier.
Ying Wuhui also stopped breastfeeding at night, so she made a prescription for herself to prevent mastitis after weaning. She smelled of medicine for several days, which made her grandmother very worried.
But this is very common in their class. When they encounter minor ailments, everyone likes to try taking medicine on their own, and even give themselves acupuncture.
Not long after the acupuncture class started, someone had already swollen his arm. After only half a year of studying the classical prescriptions, someone dared to use aconite.
There are many people who are braver and more stubborn than Mu Huaixi. She had long forgotten her previous feelings of being a "frog in the well" and devoted herself to studying.
She has a clear understanding of herself. Because of the influence of her childhood, she has a better foundation than her classmates, but she still has many shortcomings compared to those classmates who have always been learning from their elders at home.
Her advantages are also obvious. She has a heritage and practical experience in seeing patients. She responds quickly to classical prescriptions and has her own insights into the treatment of common diseases.
Therefore, Mu Huaixi started reading extensively since he entered school to make up for his missing foundation. Now that he has barely kept up with the progress of his classmates, he changed his goal and delved into research on trauma, dysentery, hemorrhagic fever, jaundice and other aspects.
She comes and goes in a hurry every day, either attending classes or going to the library. She does not live on campus and has very little relationship with her classmates. She only keeps in touch with the class monitor.
"Mu Huaixi, our class is organizing a boating trip to Lilac Lake Park this weekend. Do you want to go?" The class monitor stopped her at the end of class, knowing that if he didn't stop her, he might not be able to find her.
Mu Huaixi was packing up her notebooks. She was startled when she heard this and shook her head, "I'm not going."
She has been spending every night in the library lately and comes home very late. Ying Wuhui is not happy about this and wants to spend time with her family on the weekend.
"Sorry, I have to spend the weekend with my family." The class monitor knew that she had delayed her enrollment due to pregnancy and childbirth, but he didn't say anything when he saw her refuse.
"Student Mu doesn't participate in any activities at all," the boy who heard the conversation between the two couldn't help but sigh. In fact, there were many people in the class who were interested in her, but she always left after class and there was no chance to chat with her.
The class monitor smiled and replied, "She started school half a year late, so it's too late for her to catch up."
As soon as Mu Huaixi entered the class, he borrowed her previous notes, and she often saw him in the library. She had a very good impression of Mu Huaixi.
Mu Huaixi didn't expect that their family activity on the weekend would also be boating at Lilac Lake.
"Oh, a new batch of duck boats have arrived at Dingxiang Lake. All the little kids on the street have been there, and our Wu Hui can't be left behind," said Mr. Ying, holding his eldest grandson in his arms, smiling from ear to ear.
Mu Huaixi was helpless. She looked at the egg yolk T-shirt and shorts of the same color that Ying Wuhui was wearing today. It turned out to be the same style as the "little yellow duck".
"Xiao Xi, the new skirt I made for you is ready. You can wear it on the weekend!" Grandma smiled and shook out the skirt in her hand. It was also a cream-colored long skirt of the same style as the little yellow duck.
Mu Huaixi couldn't help laughing, but couldn't bear to refuse the old man's kindness, so she stepped forward to take it, "It's a parent-child outfit for Xiao Huihui."
"Yes," the grandmother was stunned, then laughed out loud, clapping her hands. "Hey, I remember Xiaohui still has a yellow sun hat. Wait until I find it and wear one tomorrow!"
Grandma hurried to the bedroom to look for it, while Mu Huaixi took the skirt and examined it carefully. All the clothes and dresses made by her grandma were exquisite, including this long skirt. The hem of the skirt was like a flower bud, and it was tied with a wide waist belt at a place slightly higher than the usual waistline. This design would make the waist look thinner and the legs longer.
The sleeves are also cleverly designed. Compared with the popular big puff sleeves nowadays, they are more restrained, but they make Mu Huaixi's shoulders appear wider and her figure more symmetrical.
Apart from the little yellow duck color, Mu Huaixi couldn't be more satisfied with the skirt. She had also made up her mind to ask Aunt Da Chu to help her go to the tailor shop to get a ribbon of the same color as the waist belt, and tie it to the wide-brimmed straw hat she had bought at Shengjing Mall before. It would definitely match well.
Early in the morning on the weekend, a family of four boarded a military vehicle and headed for Dingxiang Lake.
Today, Aunt Xiao Luo went boating with them, while Aunt Da Chu rested at home. However, the two of them had prepared meals and snacks the day before, including homemade rice dumplings, braised meat, raspberry cakes and orange soda bought from Maozi Cake Shop, and Mao Ke fried by Aunt Da Chu.
Mu Huaixi also went into the kitchen for the first time in a long time.
Now Ying Wuhui has several small teeth coming out, and it is the time when he likes to grind his teeth. She mixes yam paste with flour, squeezes it into a hot pan, and slowly fries it into small biscuits over low heat.
She had asked Aunt Xiao Luo to make one with egg and milk before, and the little guy liked it very much. This time, she added shrimp and young corn. The shrimp was slightly salty, but the young corn was sweet. Xiao Huihui liked them both very much and started to eat them as soon as he got out of the car.
Dingxiang Lake is not very close to his home. It takes more than an hour to drive there. If he takes the bus, it will take at least two and a half hours including the back-up time.
This is also one of the reasons why Mu Huaixi doesn't want to go rowing with the others in the class.
The bus drivers in Shengjing are extremely wild. After being jolted on the bus for so long before getting on the boat, I'm afraid even motion sickness medicine wouldn't work.
When Mu Huaixi and the others arrived, there were not many people in Lilac Lake Park.
This park is built along the lake and covers a large area. There is a lilac forest right at the entrance. Now is the time when lilac flowers are in full bloom. Clusters of light purple and dark purple flowers are like clouds and mist, spectacular and beautiful.
"Doesn't lilac bloom in April and May?" Mu Huaixi was amazed by the blooming lilac. There are many of these flowers in the mountains, and they can bloom from mid-spring to late spring.
Grandma was bending a branch to tease Xiaohui, "This is the four-season lilac. It blooms twice a year. The wind is too strong in spring, so the flowers are small and astringent, not as abundant as in summer."
Mu Huaixi didn't know much about flowers, so she nodded and continued walking forward with her grandparents.
The lilac clusters attracted many bees, butterflies and many small flying insects.
In summer, everyone wears thin and bright clothes, which attract small flying insects. Mu Huaixi and her son are both wearing bright yellow, but they are not bothered by any mosquitoes.
The grandmother holding little Yinghui fiddled with the small sachet hanging on her great-grandson's waist and exclaimed, "Xiaoxi, your mosquito repellent sachets are really good. Last time I gave two to Xiaoxiangni's grandmother, and she said they were very useful!"
Mu Huaixi smiled. The sachet she was making now was based on a recipe she found in the library. It was different from the anthelmintic powder she had used in the mountains before. This one was completely harmless to the human body and could be used by both adults and children.
"Big sister, where did you get these mosquito repellent incense bags? Can you share one with me?" An elderly woman came over with shining eyes, lifted the legs of the little kid in her arms, and showed a thumb-sized red packet, "Look at my eldest grandson's leg, it's bitten..."
Mu Huaixi took a quick look and saw that the child looked about two or three years old. He might have a mosquito-attracting physique, as there were many dark red scars on his originally white and tender calves, and there were two fresh bright red mosquito bites.
