Chapter 536 Calcium Supplementation
He Yuan went to the kitchen to get her some water. Seeing her coming over with clothes, he said to her, "Xiaoyu is growing too fast. I suspect she's calcium deficient, so I bought her some cod liver oil for rickets. We don't drink soup often enough at home. She needs bone soup twice every five days. I bought some herbs, including lily bulbs, wolfberries, and codonopsis, to nourish Xiaoyu."
Chen Qing was a little annoyed: "I didn't notice."
"You look at her every day and don't notice any changes, but Xiaoyu is six years old and already almost 1.3 meters tall. She's growing very fast."
"Then I'll keep a closer eye on Xiaoyu from now on." Chen Qing then said, "What about He Yuxiang? How is he?"
In the original novel, the reason why He Yuxiang ultimately failed had a lot to do with his dilapidated body.
He Yuan: "He Yuxiang is in good health. As long as nothing unexpected happens to him, his body will be quite strong."
Chen Qing's eyes suddenly dimmed for a moment.
He Yuan added: "His height is quite normal. I grew very fast when I was a child. I was already 1.8 meters tall when I was 14 or 15."
"That's good."
Chen Qing felt relieved.
While she was taking a shower, He Yuan went to the study and reminded He Yuxiang again: "Xiaoyu is calcium deficient. Buy more food for Xiaoyu. No snacks. She must have meat and vegetables every day. When you go to school later, the meals you bring to school must also have meat. I will give you meat coupons. If anyone complains that it is too extravagant, we will also solve it. Just let Xiaoyu eat more."
He Yuxiang nodded seriously: "I understand."
Xiaoyu opened the study window, quietly poked her head out, and asked, "Uncle, is my calcium deficiency serious?"
He Yuan shook his head: "It's not serious. Many children are prone to calcium deficiency. I asked you to eat more just because I hope you can grow better. In fact, calcium deficiency is not a big problem in itself."
Many people suffer from rickets, which is why cod liver oil has become popular, but not many people actually buy it.
Xiaoyu seemed to understand: "That's good."
She went back to the room and saw Aunt Ma sorting out clothes. She asked, "Aunt, do you know about calcium deficiency?"
"I know. Are you calcium deficient?" Ma Aiying glanced at her knees.
Xiaoyu pursed her lips and nodded nervously: "Is it serious?"
Ma Aiying smiled and said, "It's not serious. It's just a minor problem that few people would care about in the countryside."
"ah?"
"Calcium deficiency requires nutritional supplements. Rural people can't eat that much. Did your family buy you nutritional supplements?"
"Um!"
Xiaoyu nodded heavily.
Her uncle bought a lot of things.
Ma Aiying smiled and said, "You see, all of this requires money. Your family is really good to you."
She completely understood that although Xiaoyu and He Yuxiang were not Chen Qing and He Yuan's biological children, there was no difference.
Even better than most biological children.
Xiaoyu's ignorant eyes gradually brightened up, and she ran out contentedly and said to her uncle, "Uncle, bend down for a moment."
He Yuan bent down as he was told.
Xiaoyu stood on tiptoe and whispered in her uncle's ear, "Uncle, I know you love us very much, and we love you very much too."
He Yuan's pupils trembled slightly, his heart softened, and he smiled and rubbed her hair: "I understand."
Xiaoyu's smile spread widely, her soft cheeks puffed up, and her smile was filled with pure happiness.
She went back to her room happily to sleep.
He Yuan was so happy that he shared it with Chen Qing before going to bed.
Chen Qingcai was unwilling to be outdone: "Xiaoyu often said to me, 'Auntie, I love you so much'."
He Yuan's eyes were filled with resentment.
Chen Qing laughed out loud.
I can't stop feeling proud!
There is also a hint of pride.
Children's ability to imitate may be very strong. She likes to say to Xiaoyu, "I love you so much," and Xiaoyu will say love to the person who loves her.
But He Yuxiang didn't seem to have learned anything...
This guy.
Chen Qingzhen was convinced.
I've raised it for so long.
Not even calling me auntie.
Like a saw-mouth gourd.
Completely embodying the sullen, arrogant and proud style of the villain.
Chen Qing was so angry that he punched He Yuan.
He Yuan was puzzled: "What's wrong?"
Chen Qing said confidently: "I'll find a chance to beat you up while you're going to work."
He Yuan was unable to refute, so he had to turn off the light and go to sleep.
The next morning, He Yuan went to work. Xiaoyu was reluctant to leave, so He Yuxiang reminded her, "You're an adult now, you should be able to take care of yourself, right? You wouldn't even forget to eat, right?"
"Don't learn to be sarcastic from your aunt." He Yuan reminded.
He Yuxiang turned his face away, his eyelashes casting a shadow on his nose, and the corners of his mouth formed a stubborn little bracket.
He wants to learn!
He couldn't understand what was going on with his uncle.
I don’t even like to eat!
There's something wrong!
My uncle is really sick!
He can obviously cook as well as a chef, but he ends up being the one in the family who has the least expectations for delicious food.
Chen Qing also complained: "What's wrong with learning to be sarcastic from me? It's better than learning to not like eating from you."
Xiaoyu put her hands on her hips and agreed angrily: "That's right!"
He Yuan was criticized by three people at home and was completely defeated: "I will try my best to remember."
"Try your best?"
Chen Qing smiled deathly.
He Yuan immediately changed his tone: "Of course!"
Chen Qing snorted: "It's better if you go to work. I have to go to work too."
"Okay, I'll go first." He Yuan took the bus to work.
Chen Qing and Ma Aiying also went to work.
In the workshop, brand new machines stand in a row, and the high-speed flat-bed sewing machines emit a cool metallic luster.
The air was filled with the smell of new cloth and motor oil, but even stronger was a silent tension.
Because the machine suddenly broke down.
This is a new product and everyone is using it very carefully, so how come it broke?
As soon as Chen Qing arrived, she was notified that the production line had stopped working. She came to the center of the workshop and saw that they were afraid to move because several machines were broken, so she said, "Start working, don't stop."
In an instant, a dense sound of clattering sounds rang out in the workshop.
Chen Qing's expression did not relax, but became more focused.
She knew that a period of adjustment for new machines was inevitable.
Sure enough, in less than ten minutes, discordant noises appeared.
One machine slowed down, another stopped.
A young female worker stood up in panic: "Director, this... this thread keeps breaking!"
Another also shouted: "My needle is stuck."
"My cloth always runs down!"
Master Sun looked at a half-finished product in his hand that was sewn crookedly due to a broken thread, and felt angry and distressed: "This material is so precious, we can't waste it like this."
The people from the mechanical repair department rushed over, sweat on their foreheads, twisting here and adjusting there with wrenches, muttering "parameters" and "tension".
But the effect was minimal.
The female workers surrounded him, their faces filled with anxiety and distrust.
The workshop leader, Lao Ma, was so anxious that he was spinning in circles: "What should I do? Why is the new machine not as obedient as the old one?"
Wei Jianping also came to the workshop with his hands behind his back, frowning slightly, and said lightly, "I should have known to apply for our country's products earlier. I'm used to it. Why did you insist on being unique? This suspension of work will delay it for a long time."
