"There's nothing else wrong. This child's life used to be quite good, and his diet was very regular. It's just that this situation has only started in the last six months or so. If this continues, his stomach problems will never get better."
That's just what he said. He saw her once last year, and later heard that she bought all those puppies, including Big Black. He knew that she was someone who didn't lack money or food. Seeing how much she cared about the child, he said something out of the blue.
"Porridge is good for the stomach, but coarse grains are not good, they are too coarse."
If you can buy millet, millet porridge is the best. Cook it until it's thick and sticky, and the layer of rice oil on top is all good stuff.
If you don't have millet porridge, boiled eggs will do.
In the morning, on an empty stomach, crack an egg, pour in boiling water, stir it, and if you have sugar, add some. Drink it while it's hot; it's good for your stomach.
Seeing that they didn't seem bothered at all, and didn't even flinch while listening to these things, I figured they had connections, so I added another sentence.
“Those coarse grains can be ground into a fine powder and eaten, but if you can eat them with whole wheat flour, that would be even better. Millet porridge with wheat flour steamed buns would be the best.”
Another thing is that it's not good if there's no oil or fat at all. Children are too young and still growing, so they can't absorb much food, unlike adults who can get by no matter what.
Besides, even adults need oil and fat to keep them healthy and energetic, right?
Others may not know, but Cheng Chao saw it all clearly. She had plenty of the things they were talking about.
Jian Wenxiu didn't see the supplies in the cellar, but judging from the meal, he knew that Jian Dan wasn't short of these things. However, he couldn't help his own child at all, and this feeling was truly unbearable.
Needless to say, even though I haven't actually met Master Liu, judging from the fact that he's willing to serve his two children large portions of meat, Xiao Jian's life is pretty good, so there's nothing to worry about.
Seeing the natural expressions on their faces, Liu Zhen knew that they had taken his words to heart.
To be honest, very few families can actually follow the doctor's orders at this time. Take the advice to eat well, for example. Ninety-nine percent of families can't do it. They have trouble even getting enough to eat, let alone being picky.
In many families, eating an egg is a luxury, as that usually involves meat.
Seeing Liu Gang bring over a thermos to pour water for them, Jian Dan quickly got up.
"No need, no need, Grandpa Liu, we're relieved to have you see it."
Could you please tell me how much the consultation fee is?
Liu Zhen laughed heartily.
"Why would I need a consultation fee? I only see a few patients a year, and I don't rely on this. Just take good care of the child, and everything will be fine."
The money was quickly collected without any hesitation. That's how it is in the countryside; not everything can be solved with money. It's more about personal relationships, interactions, and give-and-take.
"Okay, I'll bring you some things you might need another day."
Liu Zhen did not refuse.
"That's great."
Jian Wenxiu immediately withdrew his hand holding the money and tickets.
After thanking Liu Zhen and preparing to leave, Jian Dan suddenly remembered the big dog that had been temporarily transferred here. At first, the dog would run back every few days after being transferred, but recently she hadn't seen it for many days.
"Grandpa Liu, is Big Black still here?"
At this point, Liu Zhen sighed, his voice tinged with embarrassment.
"I went to see her the day before yesterday. The old lady's life is basically over this winter. I don't even know if she'll make it to the New Year. She's very confused right now. She doesn't recognize her son and grandson, she only recognizes this big black dog. She won't do anything if she can't see it."
The dogs hadn't been there long and hadn't developed a deep bond before Big Black was borrowed back. Simple wasn't too sad about losing him; he was practically dispensable now.
That's right, this is my own property now, so why is it staying in the original owner's house all this time?
But then I thought about it again. All I wanted back then was puppies, and this big black dog was just a bonus. I put in a lot of effort to help it grow from being on the verge of death to becoming strong. I even provided a lot of food and dog food. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it my savior, would it?
But upon further reflection, considering Dahei's somewhat unclear past and his recent clear achievements, she felt relieved.
Heroes are always worthy of people's admiration.
The same goes for Hero Dog.
“I understand, Grandpa Liu. I’m not taking Dahei back with me. It’s just that I haven’t seen it for so long and I’m a little worried about its safety. Alright, let’s go back now. Look how anxious this little dog is.”
Upon seeing Jian Dan and Jian Xin come out, the four little ones immediately surrounded them and jumped around affectionately.
"This is Big Black's cub?"
Third Master Liu snorted.
"Is that even a question? Look at you guys, you've turned perfectly good big dogs into that kind of thing."
"Look, these are all raised by Jian Zhiqing, aren't they decent?"
"It's really good, it's shiny and smooth, and it'll give you a lot of energy when you run in it."
Master Liu was smug.
"Needless to say? It'll be even more exciting when we're fighting!"
Jian Dan ignored the conversation between the two old friends, and just like when they arrived, spread out the mattress, surrounded the children with them, and the little girl obediently said goodbye to Liu Zhen.
"Thank you, Grandpa Liu. Goodbye, Grandpa Liu!"
It was already getting dark, and before they even left Liujiatun, they discovered that it was snowing lightly.
"Oh my, it's snowing? This year's snow came early, next year should be a good year too."
I don't really understand this, but seeing how things are getting bigger and bigger, I'm a little worried.
"The roads will be even harder to travel when it snows, won't they?"
Cheng Chao is young, but he has already done a lot of tasks and has been exposed to even harsher environments.
"It's alright, this little bit of snow is nothing."
Jian Wenxiu nodded in agreement. As for him, there was no need to say anything. Jian Dan had only ever seen him when he was being chased back from the border, which was nothing compared to what Jian Wenxiu had done.
Since everyone had already said so, let's keep it simple and not dwell on it. Once we got to the village, Uncle Liu was worried that the oxen would get cold, so he put them down and hurried back.
The little ones were panting and steaming as they ran, but even though they were covered by blankets, they weren't warm while sitting still in the car; at best, they weren't frozen.
Once inside, she left the two grown men to take care of the child while she immediately lit the stove. This stove was connected to the kang (a heated brick bed) and the fire wall. Even before the water in the pot boiled, the warmth of the room was already rising.
Seeing the snow falling heavier and heavier outside, I thought for a moment, then scooped out the water from the big pot on the east side and brought it inside for them to use. I went back and took out a basin of cooked mutton soup from the base and poured it into the pot. I put a cloth on top, then placed some steamed buns on it. I covered the pot, and everything was hot. It was just a matter of getting through the trouble, and it didn't take much time.
The two people inside had just awkwardly finished tidying up the child when they heard Jian Dan call out to Cheng Chao to put the table down.
Cheng Chao was taken aback. Put the table down? Are you going to eat?
