Chapter 58 Half a Steamed Bun
Jiang Xiaoxiao closed the doors and windows, drew the curtains, and then gently lifted the old lady's clothes.
Even with such a small movement, the old lady sobbed in pain.
"Xiao Xiao, stop struggling. Grandma, it's time. I know this is... my parents are here to pick me up."
Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled so hard that her teeth were showing.
"Grandma, you're so funny. You're ready to abandon me before you even see me get married and have kids. When I was little, you held me in your arms and told me all day that you would help me take care of the kids after I got married and had kids. Now you don't care about me and are ready to leave on your own?
That won’t do. You have to keep your word. If you don’t keep your word, then I will go with you. I also want to see what my great-grandma and great-grandpa look like. "
At a glance, you can see that the blisters on the old lady's chest and ribs have dried up, and the scabs have fallen off, leaving some dark spots.
Her hand gently touched the old lady, who immediately had a strong reaction. She felt pain all over her body and shouted, "Don't touch... Don't touch!"
The old lady was such a strong person that she cried with pain.
"Grandma, I just learned a trick from someone else, and I think it can cure your snake-ridden condition."
Before she finished speaking, she had already taken two bamboo sticks and inserted needles into the Yanglingquan points on both sides of the old lady's feet.
The old lady's fists, which had just been tightly clenched in nervousness, suddenly loosened.
"Grandma, how is the effect?"
The old lady opened her eyes and said with indescribable joy.
"You little girl, what did you use to prick my grandma just now? After these two injections, I feel like all the pain in my body is gone."
Jiang Xiaoxiao raised the bamboo stick with a smile and let her grandma take a look.
"Grandma, this is our Chinese acupuncture. Isn't it amazing? You have a disease, and to put it bluntly, you can get better by taking medicine. And I have a special medicine to prescribe. You don't even have to go to the hospital. I guarantee that you will get better immediately after taking it a few times."
Indeed, this snake-entangled body, to put it bluntly, is equivalent to various spasmodic pains in the skin meridians.
Not that she cured shingles!
Will the old lady get better immediately after these two injections?
These two injections can only relieve the old lady's pain. You know, no one will not be nervous when suffering from any illness.
The acupuncture point she pierced is equivalent to the relaxation point.
He immediately wrote out a prescription, including 10 grams of bupleurum, 20 grams of white peony root, 10 grams of bitter orange, 10 grams of raw licorice, 50 grams of whole trichosanthes, and 10 grams of safflower.
These six medicines were obtained from an old Chinese doctor I met when I was in the countryside. He specializes in treating herpes zoster and the effect is miraculous.
To put it simply, there are three ways to treat shingles. The first is to detoxify, the second is to relieve depression, and the third is to promote blood circulation.
These three methods must be used in conjunction with each other and none of them can be missing.
The raw licorice in this recipe can detoxify. If it is combined with some fresh purslane for external application, the detoxification effect will probably be faster.
Bupleurum and Citrus aurantium can relieve depression, and these two can raise and lower the various Qi.
White peony root and safflower can relieve urgency and activate blood circulation, which will eliminate wind naturally.
This whole herb, Gualou, is the essential lead medicine.
In fact, there are so many of them, and to put it bluntly, they are all specifically for treating shingles.
The old lady felt relaxed and drank the medicine.
Sure enough, after taking two doses of medicine, the next day.
The pain in my body is not that bad anymore, and I can walk. I also drank two big bowls of cornmeal porridge.
The mourning shed in the yard had been removed long ago.
But there are quite a few people coming and going these two days.
All the neighbors in the village heard about it.
After Xiao Xiao from their family took two doses of medicine, the old lady recovered.
You can see with the naked eye that the old lady can get up.
If this isn't good, then what is good?
Fan Jianfeng and Fan Jianguo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The two brothers have been worried a lot these days.
My mood was as up and down as a roller coaster.
When I found out that the old lady’s condition couldn’t be cured, I wanted to die.
When preparing for the funeral, Fan Jianfeng felt so distressed.
There was no income at home.
Now, look no further, I have to take on a lot of debt.
A lot of work in the fields has been delayed because of the old lady and her family in the past few days.
There's money everywhere here.
My own wife is always smashing pots and bowls.
The main thing is that so many people came back to eat and drink, and everything is consumed.
The little food they had stored was not enough to feed so many people.
Farmers’ lives are not easy either!
It’s time for dinner today, a pot of thin porridge.
Jiang Xiaoxiao took a look and saw that the porridge was so thin that you could see a person's reflection in it.
Two days ago it could at least be called porridge, but today it can simply be called water.
My aunt is always like this.
Her mind is as narrow as a needle's eye. As long as she is allowed to spend, then there will be something waiting for her.
"Eat, eat, eat. All you do all day is eat. You don't work. You'll eat up everything in this house."
Aunt Wu Jinai hit her little grandson's hand with a chopstick.
My eldest uncle is the oldest. People of this era get married early, and his son is already grown up now.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that my uncle is only in his 40s.
But I already have a four-year-old grandson.
What does a child know? When he saw the bland food, he of course wanted to reach out and take the two steamed buns. But he was beaten by his grandmother. He immediately started crying loudly. When his daughter-in-law saw her son being beaten, she felt very distressed.
My mother-in-law has always been domineering at home, and no one can persuade her. The problem is that my mother-in-law usually treats her grandson more, but today she got angry at a little child.
"Mom! Daniu is a child. Why are you hitting him? The child has been hungry for a whole day, and you won't let him eat?"
Holding her son in her arms, she rubbed the child's little hand with heartache.
In fact, my aunt-in-law Wu Jinai was just making indirect accusations, but who would have thought that her actions were so inappropriate.
She also felt sorry for her grandson.
Seeing the child crying like this, Wu Jinai felt regretful.
But being contradicted by his daughter-in-law in front of everyone made him feel even more uncomfortable and embarrassed.
"Why are you hungry? He is not a starving ghost who is reincarnated. He only knows how to eat all day long. What's wrong with me beating him? Don't you see there are so many elders sitting here? He has no right to stretch out his hands here. If he eats, what will these elders eat? I wonder how much food we have at home?"
Wu Jinai was so furious that she wanted to bring the matter to the surface.
The old lady was holding half a steamed bun in one hand, and it suddenly pricked her hand.
On weekdays, the old man and the old lady always live with the eldest son and are very tolerant of the eldest daughter-in-law, but that is only in private.
At this moment, in front of her granddaughter and her younger son, the eldest daughter-in-law's behavior was a bit inappropriate.
The old lady also knew that this was because her youngest son and her granddaughter and grandson had returned more often in the past two days, and with so many people eating for free, the house immediately became unpeaceful.
Sigh.
Wave to the children.
"Daniu, come to grandma, come! Grandma has steamed bread here. We won't leave that cruel grandma. Come, I'll give you some steamed bread."
The old lady stretched out her hand tremblingly, and in her palm lay half a steamed bread.
