After a sumptuous dinner, Qin Ye rode his tricycle and took Qin Rong and her daughter home.
The night wind was chilly, and Qin Rong wrapped Chunbao's head with a scarf, fearing that she would catch a cold and get sick.
"Is Chunbao happy today?" Qin Rong asked gently when she saw the smile on her daughter's face fade.
Chunbao's eyes sparkled and he nodded.
Today was the first time she talked so much with her peers and ate so much rich and delicious food.
The little sister and Aunt Li were also very kind and gentle to her. They sat together in the family and had a lively meal. She liked this kind of liveliness very much.
"As long as you are happy." Qin Rong touched her daughter's head gently.
Even if this trip will make her feel uncomfortable or sick, as long as she is happy today, it is worth it.
Qin Rong woke up several times when she went to bed at night. Every time she woke up, she would touch Chunbao's forehead, but there was no sign of fever.
Qin Rong got up at half past ten in the morning, and Chunbao opened his eyes when he heard the noise.
"Mother."
"Does your throat feel uncomfortable?" Qin Rong asked while holding her hand.
Chunbao swallowed and said, "No."
"That's good, you can continue to sleep."
Qin Rong got dressed and went out. After washing up, she went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy food for Chunbao to eat at home. On the way back, she also bought two breakfasts at the breakfast shop.
After putting the dishes and the dishes in the kitchen, I asked Qin Ye to go to class together.
After having breakfast in the store, Qin Ye went to the meat processing factory to buy meat. Qin Rong and Li Shuping sat together, chatting while preparing vegetables.
"I asked Chunbao to come out yesterday, and I was worried that she would feel sick again. This morning, Chunbao woke up and is doing well, with no fever or sore throat."
Hearing this, Li Shuping frowned and asked, "Is Chunbao in such poor health? He gets sick every time he goes out."
Qin Rong nodded. "She used to get a headache, fever, and sore throat whenever she went out. It would take her a week to get better, so we simply stopped her from going out. Although she still feels uncomfortable occasionally, the frequency is not as high as when she went out."
"What's the condition of Chunbao's body? What's wrong with him?" Li Shuping asked.
Qin Rong said, "Anyway, both Chinese and Western medicine doctors have seen her, and they all said that she was born with deficiencies in her body, and her body is weak and her Qi and blood are deficient, so she needs to be taken good care of."
After hearing her say this, Li Shuping thought that it was because of her weak body, deficiency of Qi and blood, low immunity and poor resistance, so she would easily get sick when she went out.
"I think it's not a good idea to let Chunbao stay at home all the time. People with poor health need to breathe fresh air, bask in the sun, and walk around."
"..." Qin Rong frowned and said nothing.
Li Shuping continued: "Chunbao is prone to getting sick when she goes out. That's because she has low immunity and weak resistance. Once she comes into contact with someone who is sick and carrying the cold virus, she will be easily infected. In this case, you can give Chunbao a mask when she goes out, just like the ones doctors wear in the hospital."
"Wearing a mask isolates you from the virus, so it cannot be transmitted. Sunbathing kills bacteria, and walking around more often can also improve your physical fitness and enhance your immunity."
Qin Rong still didn't say anything, but she was listening carefully.
"For noodles, give Chunbao more lean meat, beans, fish, red dates, longan, and fruits rich in vitamin C such as oranges. These can not only replenish qi and blood, but also improve immunity."
"Oh, and there's milk. It's a good thing. It's nutritious and can improve your health. You can buy a bottle for Chunbao to try and see if she gets diarrhea after drinking it. If not, you can order a bottle for her every day if you have the conditions."
You can order milk from the milk station. It costs about ten yuan a month, and they deliver it to your door every day.
Li Shuping did not order milk for Xiao 냫, because Xiao 냫, like her, was lactose intolerant and would have diarrhea as soon as he drank milk.
Qin Rong nodded and said, "I know about milk. I've heard people say that drinking it is good for children, but I don't have the money to buy it for my child."
"Now that I can get my salary, I will buy a bottle for Chunbao to try tomorrow. If she likes it, I will order a bottle for her every day."
She had no money and no conditions before, but now she has a job and can earn a salary, so she can order one for Chunbao.
She felt that since Sister Li had raised three children and had raised her younger son well, she must know more about raising children than she did, and what she said made sense.
She will have to try in the future to let Chunbao walk around more often, get some sun, and add more nutrition to the noodles he eats.
"It's not safe to keep money at home now. Two families in our yard were robbed yesterday. The money they had saved for more than ten years, about two or three thousand yuan, was all stolen."
In the dumpling shop, several regular customers sat at a table, eating dumplings and chatting.
"Oh, that's too tragic."
"That's right. The whole family is crying their eyes out."
"So, now the money has to be kept in the bank for safety."
"That's right."
Li Shuping put the dumplings on the table and listened to what the customers said. She felt that the money should be kept in a bank for safety.
Especially since she runs a dumpling shop and her business is not bad, and there are only two women in her family, making her the easiest target for thieves.
She still had to sort out the cash she had and put it in the bank for safety.
The next day, Li Shuping mixed the stuffing and went to the bank with her bag on her shoulder.
She only kept two hundred yuan in cash as a reserve and deposited two thousand yuan directly.
The tickets became numbers on the front of the passbook.
Li Shuping put the passbook into her pocket and walked out of the bank, shielding the sun with her hands.
"Shu, Shuping?"
She seemed to hear someone calling her, and when she turned her head, she saw a woman about ten years old wearing a brown floral shirt, a shaved head, and holding a banana in her hand.
"You are Shuping, right?" When the woman saw her turning around, she walked closer and asked with some excitement.
Li Shuping looked carefully at the person in front of her, searching her memory.
This person must be someone she knows, otherwise he wouldn't know her name.
"Yes, you are?"
"놖 is gold 냫, autumn gold 냫."
Li Shuping slowly opened her eyes, stepped forward and held the woman's hand, "Jin, Jin, why is it you? We haven't seen each other for so many years!"
Qiu Jin's eyes were red. "I haven't seen you for more than 20 years. I'm really, really happy to see you doing so well."
Shuping is now in her forties. She wears a white shirt, black trousers, and small leather shoes. She has a perm. She has fair skin, round cheeks, and a good complexion. It's obvious that she lives a good life.
Li Shuping also excitedly grabbed Qiu Jin's hand and said, "I am very happy too. I went back to look for you later, but I heard from the neighbors that the tailor shop caught fire and your family moved away."
“Look at you, you ran away, why did you come back to find us? The tailor shop was burned down, it’s also retribution for your family.” Qiu Jindong shed tears.
Li Shuping shook her head and said, "Sister Jin, don't say that. After all, the Qiu family has taken you in for so many years, taught you how to use a sewing machine, and helped you get a formal job in a garment factory with this skill."
Before she was ten years old, Li Shuping basically worked as a kitchen helper in a dumpling shop in exchange for a full meal and slept on a pile of firewood at night.
Later, the dumpling shop closed down. The Qiu family, who ran a tailor shop, felt sorry for her and had no place to live, so they asked her to help out in the shop and also let her live in their home. She stayed there for six or seven years.
