Chuxia was relieved and said to Cen Zhengnian, "No need to go to the hospital, take anti-inflammatory medicine first. There is no dentist in the hospital right now. If you go there, the doctor in the emergency room will also give you anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving medicine."
Cen Zhengnian looked at Cen Huaian with tears in his eyes and looked pitiful. He really couldn't bear it.
"But he is in great pain."
She put down the flashlight and looked for medicine in the drawer where she kept common medicines and said, "Take the medicine and it will stop hurting."
Chuxia found an anti-inflammatory pill and turned to look at Cen Zhengnian, "Go get him a glass of water."
After Cen Huaian took the medicine, Chuxia put a peppercorn in the gap between his teeth and let him bite it.
Peppercorns have anesthetic ingredients and can have a certain pain-relieving effect.
Slowly, Cen Huaian's condition began to improve. When he fell asleep completely, Chuxia and Cen Zhengnian were completely relieved.
Chuxia and Cen Zhengnian did not sleep well that night. They woke up several times in the middle of the night to check on Cen Huaian's condition. In the middle of the night, they took out the peppercorns in his mouth and threw them away.
Fortunately, Cen Huaian slept well that night and did not feel any pain again.
Early the next morning, Chuxia asked Cen Huaian who had woken up: "Does your tooth still hurt?"
He licked his teeth, shook his head and said: "It doesn't hurt anymore."
Well, the toothache was solved, and then it was time to ask Cen Huaian why he had a toothache.
Chuxia was a doctor in her previous life, and she attached great importance to Cen Huaian's oral hygiene. She asked him to rinse his mouth after eating and eating candy, and brushing his teeth every morning and evening was essential.
If he had protected his teeth as she requested, Cen Huaian would not have had cavities. He would have definitely eaten candies behind her back, and he had eaten quite a lot.
Chu Xia pulled a stool and sat in front of Cen Huaian, looking at him seriously.
Cen Huaian was very sensitive to adults' emotions. He could feel that his mother was angry, so he subconsciously leaned into Cen Zhengnian's arms.
Cen Zhengnian was about to speak when Chu Xia looked over and said, "I didn't ask him about his toothache last night, but I must find out today why he had cavities."
Yes, the health of the child is very important. Cen Zhengnian could only harden himself and not look at Cen Huaian's little face, so that he would not be soft-hearted.
"Did you eat the candy secretly? Don't lie!"
Cen Huaian wanted to fight back, but when he looked up and met Chu Xia's stern eyes, he remembered his mother's angry look before, so he didn't dare to lie and whispered "hmm".
Chu Xia frowned and continued: "You saved all your own money, and you didn't exchange the little red flower with me for candy. Where did you get the candy?"
Cen Huaian knew that he couldn't hide it anymore. His mother must know how he got the candy today. Although he didn't know what the consequences would be if he told her, he knew that his mother would definitely not let him go if he didn't tell her.
He was entangled for a long time, and Chu Xia had been waiting for him, so he told her how he won the candy in the preschool and at the family home. Chu
Xia was so angry that she laughed after hearing this. She tapped his head and said, "You are quite smart! You know how to use this method to win candy. If I had known, I would not have taught you any chess!"
Cen Zhengnian also understood the ins and outs of the matter. He frowned and looked at Cen Huaian with complicated eyes. He thought An An was very smart, but he also felt that his intelligence was not used in the right place and it made him have a toothache.
Cen Huaian never thought that he was wrong to win the candy, because he got it with his own strength, and it was fair and square.
But now looking at his mother's face and his father's expression, he didn't know.
"Mom?" Seeing that Chu Xia had not spoken, he called her.
"Did I tell you that eating too much candy will cause toothache?"
Cen Huaian nodded. His mother had told him that, but he had never had a toothache before, so he had no idea what it felt like.
"Since I knew that, you still ate all the candies you won from others? You also ate all the candies I gave you every two days when you came home. You really don't have any self-control at all! And do you think it's right for you to win candy from others? You are relying on your own ability to deliberately cheat for candy!"
Cen Huaian really had the mentality that Chu Xia said, because other children couldn't beat him in chess, so he was a little arrogant in his heart.
Anyway, they wanted to play chess with him, and he agreed to play chess with them only when he was sure that he could beat everyone.
In this way, he would only win candy every time and never lose candy.
Chu Xia wanted to continue talking, but turned her head and saw Cen Zhengnian frowning beside her. She was not alone at home now, and she could not educate her child alone in this matter.
"You take care of the rest. Make sure An An knows what mistakes he made, and punish him accordingly."
Cen Zhengnian's brows furrowed even deeper. He met Chu Xia's serious gaze, took a deep breath, and nodded: "Okay."
Educating children was originally his father's job, and it really couldn't be left to Chu Xia.
Chu Xia didn't see how the father and son communicated. When she came back from buying breakfast, Cen Huaian obediently admitted his mistakes to her.
Chuxia looked at Cen Zhengnian, who coughed lightly and said, "I will punish him by making him write three more big characters every day for a week, and all his little red flowers will be cleared."
Cen Huaian's eyes instantly showed heartache. He didn't feel that uncomfortable when writing big characters, but the little red flowers he had saved for so long were gone all of a sudden.
There were more than a dozen of them, and he was still thinking about exchanging them for comic books. Now he couldn't exchange anything, and he couldn't help feeling sad when he thought about it.
Chuxia raised her eyebrows. She thought Cen Zhengnian would not have the heart to punish Cen Huaian. He had satisfied Cen Huaian's requests in the past few days and doted on him very much.
She didn't expect that he could find his weakness when punishing An An, and punished An An so much that she felt distressed, and then remembered this lesson firmly.
"Very good." Chu Xia looked at Cen Huaian and said, "If you make a mistake again next time, not only will you be deducted the red flower, but you will also be banned from reading comic books for three days!"
Cen Huaian shook his head immediately. He didn't want to be deducted comic books: "Mom, I won't do it again!"
Since the child's tooth decay has been discovered, it must be seen in time, and the small wormhole must be filled, otherwise the tooth decay will become more and more serious, and it will be difficult to treat if it damages the nerves.
It happened that today was Sunday and there was no need to go to work, so Chu Xia and Cen Zhengnian took An An to see the dentist together.
At first, Cen Zhengnian wanted to take An An and Chu Xia to the hospital. However, after leaving the gate of the family compound, Chu Xia said, "Let's not go to the hospital for a dentist's appointment. There is a dental clinic on the street. Our neighbors in the family compound got their teeth filled and implanted here."
Cen Zhengnian thought for a while and said, "Are the doctors there professional?" It is still necessary to be cautious when treating children's teeth or getting them implanted.
Chu Xia winked at Cen Zhengnian, indicating that she had her own ideas and he just had to follow them.
Soon, Chu Xia brought Cen Huaian and Cen Zhengnian to a private dentist's clinic.
The clinic was very small, and the curtains hanging outside were very dirty, looking like they hadn't been washed for a long time.
From the outside, you couldn't tell what the doctor was doing inside. There were only six big red characters on the glass on both sides of the door: extraction, inlay, and filling.
Cen Zhengnian frowned when he saw this environment. Cen Huaian looked at the adults covering their teeth as they went in and out of the clinic, not realizing what was going to happen.
Chu Xia suddenly asked him in a mysterious tone: "An An, do you know how doctors extract and fill teeth?"
