92. Hot motherly love this summer
Not long ago, my mother heard that I was in poor health, so she specially entrusted me with a large bag of "medicine" from Beihai. Pen ~ fun ~ Ge www.biquge.info In fact, it is a ginkgo extract developed by a medical university, a health care product called "** Wang", oral liquid, not a drug. However, my mother repeatedly introduced to me on the phone that this is a very miraculous medicine, in a word, that is, there is a disease to cure the disease, and there is no disease to prevent the body, and any disease can be cured.
I know that many profit-seeking businessmen have taken a fancy to the huge pharmaceutical market for the elderly, so they often take some nutritional products, health care products, and new drugs to some county towns and towns to gather the elderly in the name of giving new medicines, and invite a group of "experts" to publicize the miraculous effects of their "medicines." Being able to get free "miracle medicine" has a huge attraction for many elderly people who are riddled with diseases and have nothing to do all day long. Often at that time, it is not too much to say that it is an empty alley.
My mother often went to participate in such big giveaways, going out early and returning late every day, lining up with a large group of elderly people at propaganda points (usually large halls and movie theaters in county towns and towns), happily receiving the few "miracle medicines", and bringing home a lot of ideas instilled by those experts (who often claimed to be so-and-so experts) and reporting them to their families. However, my mother didn't buy these medicines much, mainly because I had always forbidden her to buy these messy "medicines", unlike the father of a friend of mine, who was coaxed by those unscrupulous businessmen to buy more than 4,000 yuan of eye patches, which were enough for their whole family for 20 years!
On the phone, my mother repeatedly emphasized the miraculous effect of this "medicine", she said: Those experts say that it is the big leaders in Beijing, and the family drinks these miracle medicines! Especially some middle-aged people, who eat and drink outside all the year round, have high blood lipids, and if they don't take this medicine, they will get high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke. I didn't take my mother's advice seriously, and even though I was sick, I put the bag of "miracle medicine" in the corner and soon forgot about it.
At noon today, my mother called again and asked Mrs. Zhu how I felt after taking the "miracle medicine" and whether I felt a little better. How can eating these things have an effect? Mrs. Zhu said that she was eating, and she hadn't seen the effect so quickly. My mother repeatedly told me to keep taking it, saying that she had gone to the queue again in the past few days, and had a few more boxes, and that someone would bring them to me when the time came. I hurriedly said: The weather is so hot, you don't have to queue up every day to get the medicine, if this "medicine" is really effective, I will buy it. It's still so effective, I suggest she try it herself. Mother said resolutely: I am so old, it doesn't matter if I eat or not, you are so young, you should pay attention!
Putting down the phone, we silently took out the bag of "miracle medicine" from the corner and spread it on the table, a total of 28 boxes. I saw a scene like this in front of my eyes: every morning, the mother, who is nearly 80 years old, buries her broken steps, goes to the propaganda point, and with a large group of elderly people, lines up in a long line, waiting to deliver medicine. The weather was hot, scorching, and the mother was silently waiting, in order to give his middle-aged son, a box of "medicines" with miraculous functions, and pray for him to live a healthy life. You can only get one box of medicine every day, so these 28 boxes of "miracle medicine", my mother has been queuing for at least 28 days in this hot summer, and she, who is sick, is reluctant to eat this almighty "miracle medicine" in her mind!
I know that some foreign so-called "experts", as well as some local health care products businessmen, rent public places to "brainwash" the elderly, first win the favor of the elderly with small favors, and then exaggerate the efficacy of health care products and exaggerate the consequences of the elderly's physical discomfort to deceive the elderly into buying health care products at high prices. But there are so many elderly people who are deceived! At the CCTV 315 party in 2015, many "unknown health products" were exposed. Aunt Wang, a 72-year-old retired primary school teacher in Shanxi, bought various health products in order to be healthy. However, these high-priced health products, which claim to be "essential" and "miraculous", have not brought her health, but have brought her heavy debt. I hate the unscrupulous merchants who defraud the elderly, but I can't do anything about it.
Finally, I couldn't hold back the tears that welled up in my eyes.
