Chapter 189 Curing Frog Disease
"What frog?" Lou Heming was completely bewildered. "How could there be a frog in your stomach?"
Mao Mao clutched her little belly and said nervously, "...The frog jumped into Mao Mao's belly."
Lou Heming was completely baffled.
Not to mention that his sister's mouth is so small that even if she opened it wide, she couldn't fit a frog in it. If she had actually eaten it, he would probably be seeing his sister on the operating table in the hospital right now.
Looking up again, he saw the wives and brothers laughing so hard they couldn't stand up straight.
Lou Heming picked up his briefcase from the ground, picked up his younger sister, and walked inside, saying in a cooperative tone, "Oh, patient Mao Mao, how did the frog jump into your stomach?"
He sat down on the sofa with his sister in his arms, while giving his brother a wink.
While Mao Mao was explaining in her babyish voice, Lou Yansui leaned close to her second brother's ear and quickly recounted the whole story.
Because the rumbling sound of her stomach was similar to the croaking of a frog, Mao Mao mistakenly thought there was a frog in her stomach.
Knowing that her second brother, a doctor, could save her, Mao Mao felt relieved and obediently let her brother lead her away. Before dinner, she ate two bites of freshly fried meat strips to fill her stomach.
Then, the accident happened.
After eating the meat strips, the frog in Mao Mao's stomach stopped croaking!
"...The frog was crushed to death!" Mao Mao pouted her chubby little face and said with a serious expression, "The frog was inside Mao Mao's belly and was crushed to death by my flesh."
Lou Heming's lips curled into a wide smile halfway through the conversation, and he struggled to keep himself from laughing in front of his sister.
He coughed, clenching his fist and swallowing back his smile, feigning a worried expression.
"Then what should we do?" Lou Heming said cooperatively, "This is really bad."
Mao Mao clutched her stomach, pacing anxiously: "Brother, what should we do? The frog died inside."
"Don't be afraid, Mao Mao."
Lou Heming opened his briefcase, took out a stethoscope, and hung it around his neck with a smile: "Brother is here to help Mao Mao with her medical treatment."
Mao Mao nodded quickly, lay down on the sofa, and stuck out her little belly.
The cold stethoscope was placed against him, and Lou Heming listened for a while as if he were really listening, then nodded and said, "Indeed, I can't hear the frogs anymore."
Mao Mao held his little hand tightly, looking at him nervously.
Lou Fengju, who was watching his brothers tease their sister, also curled up the corners of his mouth and interjected, "Then how do we get the frog out?"
Lou Heming pondered for a moment and said, "Hmm... according to convention, an open abdominal surgery should be performed."
"Open abdominal surgery? Wouldn't that mean cutting open Mao Mao's stomach?"
Upon hearing this, Mao Mao immediately hugged her little belly in terror and shook her head vigorously: "No, don't open Mao Mao's belly."
As she spoke, she quickly turned around and scrambled off the sofa, keeping a safe distance from her second brother, afraid that if she was even a step too late, he would catch her and cut her stomach open.
Seeing the fear on his younger sister's face, Lou Heming quickly said, "However, we have a magician in our family who can turn the frog in Mao Mao's belly away without cutting it open... Ah Hong!"
Lou Hongjian responded and came out.
He suppressed a laugh, moved closer to Mao Mao, and rubbed his little sister's round belly in a rather professional manner. It felt so good that he touched it a few more times.
He mysteriously chanted a few incantations: "...I have already turned the frog in Mao Mao's belly away."
Mao Mao's eyes widened in surprise: "Really?"
Lou Hongjian said, "Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, have your second brother come and see for himself."
Lou Heming came forward again with a stethoscope, pretending to listen to his sister's stomach for a while: "Hmm... that's right, the frog has turned away."
Mao Mao touched her little belly in confusion. She felt that nothing was missing and nothing was added; even though one frog was missing, her round little belly hadn't shrunk.
"However, even though the frog has been removed, Mao Mao still needs to take her medicine properly." Lou Heming prescribed the medicine: "You need to finish a bowl of rice tonight, eat more meat and vegetables to supplement protein and vitamins, and that will cure her completely."
This is so easy!
Even without her brother telling her, Mao Mao eats a full bowl of rice every day, and sometimes she adds another half bowl.
She is never a picky eater; she enjoys both meat and vegetables and gets enough nutrition.
"Mao Mao, time to eat!"
Lou Heming praised, "Mao Mao is really great."
He put the stethoscope back in his briefcase, his eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses smiling gently: "Mao Mao did a good job. When you're sick, you should see a doctor right away. Next time you feel unwell anywhere, remember to come see your brother immediately. Got it?"
Mao Mao sat on the sofa and nodded vigorously.
Having resolved her tummy ache, she turned her little head and looked around curiously.
First she went to find her brother's hand, then she tried to rummage through his pockets.
Finding nothing, she asked, "Brother, where's the frog?"
Lou Heming: "What frog?"
"The frog inside Mao Mao's belly."
"..."
Mao Mao opened her big, bright eyes and looked expectantly at her two older brothers, especially Lou Hongjian. "Brother, where is the frog?"
"..."
A bead of cold sweat slid down Lou Hongjian's forehead. He mumbled, "The frog... the frog has disappeared..."
Mao Mao's eyes sparkled: "Brother, can you turn it back? Mao Mao wants to see the frog."
Lou Hongjian: "..."
Suddenly, all the pressure fell on him.
Even though he can perform magic tricks, he still needs props!
Where is he supposed to find frogs so late at night?
Lou Hongjian turned around helplessly to look at the others, and following his gaze, Mao Mao also looked over expectantly.
The smiles on the faces of the Lou family members watching the show came to an abrupt end.
Looking at the obvious and eager desire on the little girl's soft little face, and into her innocent and clear eyes, everyone's lips moved, but they couldn't bring themselves to say a word of refusal.
But the frog...
frog……
Where did the frog go?
As darkness fell, the frogs in the courtyard croaked in the night, their calls drifting in through the cracks in the windows.
The group looked at each other in bewilderment.
Are they going to catch frogs so late at night?!
