The western suburbs of Lianhai City, the junction of urban and rural areas, Wangjia Village.

In recent years, Lianhai City has developed rapidly, and the city has expanded, and much of the land in the rural areas adjacent to the suburbs has been expropriated for development into commercial or industrial areas.

Wangjia Village is located at the junction of urban and rural areas, with more than 100 families who have been planting rice for generations, and now most of the land has been expropriated, and many young people have entered the urban area of Lianhai City to work, leaving behind the old and weak women and children.

This is the case with Grandma Wang Cuihua's family, located at the east end of Wangjia Village.

Grandma Wang Cuihua's family of 5 people, in addition to the wife and son, there is also a 7-year-old grandson who also stays at home, and the son and daughter-in-law usually go to the city to work, and only come back on weekends.

The old couple took their little grandson to look after the house, and by the way, they managed a few acres of rice that had not yet been requisitioned.

Grandma Wang Cuihua's house is a five-room red-tiled house with a large front yard and a pond next to it, and behind the pond is a large rice field.

In winter, the rice has long been taken home, and the rice fields are empty.

Today, the water surface of the pond is much shallower than in the summer, and there is a thin layer of ice around it.

Grandma Wang's family has a big yellow dog, which she usually uses to watch the family's nursing home.

The big yellow dog is the most common earth dog in the countryside, the Chinese pastoral dog, tall and strong, and can be heard in several nearby villages when it roars.

Grandma Wang's 7-year-old grandson, Wang Lele, has just entered the first grade this year, and the school is in the central primary school in the town.

Now is the time for winter vacation, Wang Lele is alone at home watching TV, doing some homework, or playing with the big yellow dog.

At noon one day, Wang Lele bought back a pack of ham sausages from the village commissary, opened one of them, and prepared to use the ham sausages to tease the big yellow dog.

The big yellow dog wagged his tail and followed the little master, staring at the sausage in the little master's hand, drooling.

Wang Lele held the peeled sausage in his hand, raised it above his head, and shouted, "Rhubarb, rhubarb, can you get there?" Just come and grab it. ”

The big yellow dog seemed to understand the words of the little master, and with all four feet off the ground, he jumped and took the sausage in his mouth.

Usually, when the big yellow dog lands on all fours, it is close to Wang Lele's height, and now when he jumps, he is much taller than Wang Lele.

When the sausage left the palm of his hand, Wang Lele only felt a pain in his hand, and when he retracted his hand, he saw that there was a blood mark.

The back of the hand was scratched by the fangs of the big yellow dog, and blood was coming out.

"Grandma, grandma, rhubarb bites me ......"

Wang Lele ran back to the house crying and complained to his grandmother.

Grandma Wang glanced at the wound on the back of her little grandson's hand, a long scratch, but the wound was not deep, only a little skin was broken, and blood was coming out.

"Lele, why were you bitten by the big yellow dog?"

"I gave rhubarb sausages, but it even bit my hand."

Grandma Wang comforted her little grandson, "Lele is not afraid, just being bitten by a dog, grandma knows an exclusive home remedies, and it will be cured." ”

Grandma Wang shouted to Grandpa Wang, who was busy outside the house, "Old man, come in." ”

Grandpa Wang was tidying up the straw pile outside the yard, and when he heard his wife's shout, he clapped his hands and went back to the house, "Old woman, what are you calling me for?" ”

"The back of Lele's hand was scratched by Rhubarb's teeth, and it bled out, you go to the pond behind the yard to find a frog."

"You want to use frog skin to compress Lele's wound?"

"Well, this is an old home remedy, the frog skin is applied to the wound, it is specially used to treat dog bites, and the effect is very good, isn't this how you were bitten by dogs when you were a child, go find a frog."

Wang Lele felt that grandma's method of healing injuries was too strange, and he had never heard of it before, so he couldn't help but ask, "Grandma, it's winter, where are the frogs?" ”

Grandma Wang touched her little grandson's head, "Frogs hibernate, there are more in the pond in our backyard, let your grandfather dig in the silt by the pond, and you can dig a few back." ”

When Grandpa Wang was a child, he also went to the pond to dig hibernating frogs in the winter, and now that he is old, he picks up the family's shovel and goes to the backyard pond to dig frogs for the sake of his little grandson.

The pond silt in winter is a little hard, but the sunny place is full of weeds, and the weeds are still very soft mixed with the pond silt.

Grandpa Wang carried the motionless hibernating frog back to the house, and Grandma Wang skinned the frog, cut the frog skin to a suitable size, and pasted it on the wound on the back of the little grandson's hand.

The wound was not big, the frog skin was attached to the wound overnight, and the next day Wang Lele took the frog skin off the back of his hand and threw it in the yard casually, and then he didn't take this matter to heart.

During the Spring Festival, Wang Lele's parents came back from working in the city, and the family gathered together for the festival.

After the Spring Festival, the winter vacation is almost over, and Wang Lele is about to start school, but he is busy having fun throughout the winter vacation, and his homework during the winter vacation is almost untouched.

In the last few days of school, Lele's parents went back to the city to work, and Wang Lele began to be busy writing his winter vacation homework.

Looking at the pile of winter vacation homework on the desk, Wang Lele felt uncomfortable.

But with his grandmother behind him, he didn't dare to go out to play, so he could only sit at the desk.

After dinner in the evening, Wang Lele sat at the desk again, turned on the lamp, and prepared to write homework for a while before resting.

The words on the homework book became more and more blurry under the light, and Wang Lele rubbed his eyes.

My eyes hurt a little, and the words were even more blurry.

"Grandma, my eyes hurt and I can't read clearly."

Grandma Wang thought that the little grandson was looking for an excuse not to do homework, but after glancing at the tired figure of the little grandson, Grandma Wang still relented, "Okay, then don't write yet, go to bed early, anyway, there are still two days before school starts, let's write it tomorrow during the day." ”

With the help of Grandma Wang, the little grandson began to brush his teeth, wash his face, wash his feet, and get ready to go to bed.

When washing his face, Wang Lele kept scratching his arm.

"Grandma, my arm is itchy."

Rolling up the sleeves of her little grandson, Grandma Wang looked carefully under the light and found that there were red lines on his arms.

"Lele, which corner did you go to play today? The arm looks like it was bitten by a bug. ”

"I haven't been anywhere, I've been doing my homework in the house today, and my arm was a little itchy yesterday."

"That's where you went to play a few days ago and was bitten by insects, grandma went to find some wind oil essence to apply it to you, and it will be fine tomorrow after one night."

Grandma Wang rummaged through the drawer at home for the leftover wind oil essence used last year, and at the same time wondered to herself, "Where did the insects come from in this winter?" It must be Lele who doesn't know which corner to go to play, and now that the weather is starting to get warmer, he has to ask the old man to clean up the weeds around his house. ”

I found the remaining half bottle of wind oil essence from last year, and Grandma Wang smeared it on the little grandson's arm before letting him go back to bed.

In the middle of the night, Wang Lele couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, feeling that his arms were itching, his eyes hurt, and his head hurt.

He groped his way up from the bed and tried to turn on the light, but his hands and feet didn't seem to obey him, and he kept shaking.
