Chapter 5 The Power of Gossip



I don’t know if it was because the children had never eaten so much before, or if they ate too well, and their stomachs couldn’t take it, so Erya had diarrhea all night.

Si Ya was crying over there, and Er Ya was moaning over here. Su Qing was overwhelmed.

Letting Daya coax Sanya and Siya, Su Qing took Erya and knocked on the door of the barefoot doctor's house.

"Uncle Zhang, Erya is vomiting and having diarrhea, please help me."

After careful questioning, Uncle Zhang said slowly, "Maybe she ate too much all at once, and her stomach couldn't handle it. Plus, there might be worms in her stomach. I'll give you some medicine. Go back and feed her the food, and the worms will come out."

Uncle Zhang first prescribed a small packet of medicine and then a packet of pagoda candy.

Su Qing looked at the familiar pagoda candy and her eyes twitched. This was her childhood nightmare!

"Um...Uncle Zhang, please give me two more packs. We have two babies at home."

She is a fair mother. Whatever Erya has, Da Ya and San Ya cannot escape either.

"Okay, adults can eat it too."

"Uncle Zhang, I'll send you the money for the medicine when I'm not so tight on money." Su Qing then remembered that his pockets were cleaner than his face.

Villagers often borrow money for medical treatment on credit, and Uncle Zhang has become accustomed to it. He gave them a few instructions and let them go back.

By the time Erya stopped making noise, it was already past five in the morning.

Su Qing was about to go to bed when Daya got up on tiptoe.

"Daya, why are you up so early? It's only daybreak."

"Mom, I can't sleep. I'll get up and make breakfast first. You can sleep a little longer."

When Su Qing heard that Daya was going to make breakfast, her mind was filled with social news about children playing with fire and causing fires. She jumped up in fright and said, "Children are not allowed to play with fire. Mom will make it in a while."

Daya looked at Su Qing in confusion. When she was only three or four years old, she was ordered by Old Lady He to make fire, pick vegetables and do some simple chores.

Why are you telling her now that children can’t play with fire?

"It's okay, mom. I can light a fire."

"That won't work either. Forget it. Just watch your sister and don't let her fall. Mom will go make breakfast for you."

There are big earthen stoves in the countryside, and it is difficult for Su Qing to cook every time, let alone a six-year-old child.

She was not even as tall as the stove, yet she had to stand on a stool to operate it. Su Qing felt it was dangerous no matter how she thought about it. Could this be what a new mother is like? She was constantly worrying about it.

The corn had just been cooked when Si Ya started howling again.

"Mom, Si Ya is having diarrhea."

"Okay, I understand. You take San Ya to have breakfast, and Mom will go see Si Ya."

After changing Si Ya's diaper and feeding her rice soup, Su Qing began to coax the child.

She didn’t know whether Si Ya slept or not, but in the end she coaxed herself to sleep.

Su Qing didn't know how long he slept before he was woken up by Si Ya.

That's right, it's scratching to wake you up.

Si Ya didn't make a fuss when she woke up, but played with Su Qing's hair.

The little hand even waved towards Su Qing's face.

Su Qing was awakened by a sharp pain. It seemed that Si Ya had scratched his face and left red marks.

After freeing his hair from Si Ya's hands, Su Qing went to wash and brush his teeth.

Daya ran over happily, "Mom, Dad is back. He told you to go to the brigade and stop clinging to him. Mom, what does Dad mean?"

"It's nothing interesting. Your dad has a bad stomach and is farting. Okay, Mom will be out soon. Please keep an eye on Erya and Sanya."

"Okay, mother. I'll take Erya and Sanya to pick wild vegetables."

"If Erya is not feeling well, don't take her out in the sun."

When Erya heard that she couldn't go out, she quickly shook her head and said, "Mom, I'm fine now. I took Grandpa Zhang's medicine and my stomach doesn't hurt anymore."

Daya also quickly explained, "It's okay, Mom. I'll just take my sister for a walk around the area."

"Okay, okay, don't take the sisters out in the sun, and don't go to the water to play. Be safe and go home early. Do you hear me?"

Perhaps he thought of something, and Su Qing, who was just about to go out, went straight to the kitchen.

He took three bowls and poured the milk into them.

In fact, milk is packaged in cans and can be consumed as soon as the lid is opened.

But this kind of milk bottle with transparent glass and cow pattern is not available at this time.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it is safer to pour it out.

"Here, milk, one bowl per person, no grabbing allowed."

Daya looked at the milk thoughtfully, "Mom, can I give it to Siya?"

Su Qing shook her head. She often watched short videos and read push notifications. Even though she had never been a mother, she knew it was best not to feed fresh milk to babies under one year old, as it would increase the burden on the baby's liver.

"No, Si Ya is still young. Drinking this will be bad for her health. I'll buy her some drinkable water some other day."

Su Qing was still a little worried, so he reminded her again and again before going out.

"Be safe and come back soon."

Su Qing carried Si Ya and came to the brigade based on his memory. From a distance, he saw three layers of people outside the brigade wall.

Looking at the jam-packed crowd, Su Qing couldn't help but sigh: The power of gossip!

"Make way, make way, Su Qing is here."

In an instant, a wide road opened up in front of Su Qing.

As soon as Su Qing entered the team, he saw He Aiqing leaning against the door frame with his hands in his pockets.

Just like an outsider, he didn't care why he came to the team.

"Hello, Village Chief Wang, Hello, Captain Zhao, Hello, Accountant Liao, Hello, Seventh Uncle, Hello, Third Uncle." Su Qing greeted them one by one.

The village chief's face didn't look so gloomy until he heard Su Qing's greeting.

He Aiqing's arrogant look just now was really infuriating. Not only did he not say hello, but he also didn't respond when I greeted him.
