"Yes, uncle, when you get better, I will definitely buy you your favorite food. Just eat something for now," Changshun also advised.
Old Man Guan half-closed his eyes and said, "Changshun, you've worked hard this morning, you can go back now."
"Uncle, how can I go back when I just arrived? No matter how you feel, I have to serve you." Changshun thought that he had taken the medicine and could not defecate in the afternoon, so he would not leave.
Seeing that he was not leaving, Old Man Guan stopped talking.
Changshun's wife looked at the food and poked the man. What did this mean? She had gone to great lengths to get it delivered by taxi, but he wasn't going to eat a single bite?
Changshun gave his wife a look, and the two of them went out. Changshun told his wife to wait for Li Mancang to bring the meal and then go call the doctor over. The doctor would definitely not allow people to eat greasy food, so they would have to eat their meal then, and Li Mancang's efforts would be in vain.
After a while, Li Mancang came, carrying a thermos and holding a bag in his arms.
"This old man is so stubborn that he made you suffer. He had diarrhea after drinking mutton soup and eating steamed buns in the morning. He refused to eat something light at noon." The old lady's tone was full of complaints. If it weren't for the third brother's mutton soup and steamed buns, would he have had diarrhea for the whole morning?
Li Mancang put his things down and asked, "Have you taken your medicine?"
"I've eaten it, and I feel better now. Brother Li, I'm sorry for your trouble. I can't eat anything." Changshun gave his wife a look, and Changshun's wife left the ward to find a doctor.
"Mancang, what did you bring me? I've been having diarrhea all morning and didn't have lunch. I don't have any strength at all." Old man Guan opened his old eyes and complained to Li Mancang.
"I bought you some coconuts. I heard that drinking coconut water can replenish water and prevent diarrhea." Li Mancang took out two white coconuts from the bag.
Neither the old lady nor Changshun had ever seen it, let alone eaten it.
"Oh, this thing is imported, right? It must be very expensive, right?" Old Man Guan asked knowingly.
"I heard from the fruit shop owner that it's imported from Thailand. I'll open one for you to try."
Changshun: "Brother Li, please don't feed me random food, it's just right"
"The doctor is here. Doctor, please talk to my uncle. He can't eat those greasy things." Changshun's wife came over with the doctor.
The doctor came in and saw the coconut in Li Mancang's hand. "You can drink a small amount of coconut water to replenish electrolytes and sugars. It's fine."
Changshun...
old lady……
Changshun's wife asked, "Doctors can't eat greasy food, right?"
The doctor nodded and said, "Old comrade, if you have diarrhea, you must avoid eating anything too oily."
Changshun's wife looked a little proud. Drinking some water wouldn't make her feel hungry, and she still had to eat their meal.
Li Mancang quickly opened the insulated lunch box and asked, "Doctor, is it okay to eat bird's nest porridge?"
The doctor's eyelids twitched twice. The old man was inconspicuous and the conditions were surprisingly good. "Yes, bird's nest and fish maw porridge are both fine. They can supplement nutrition and repair the intestinal mucosa."
Changshun's wife stretched her head and took a look. She had lived for so many years and had never seen what bird's nest looked like. It was something that only rich families could afford to eat. Ordinary people like them had only heard of it a limited number of times.
Changshun and the old lady both looked unhappy.
Li Mancang rocked the old man Guan's bed, letting him lie half-reclining, and handed him the insulated lunch box. "Uncle Guan, please get up and eat something. You must be tired from diarrhea."
Old man Guan held the thermos bucket and started to eat. After so many years, he had forgotten what bird's nest tasted like.
