Chapter 5: Diarrhea
Wild grapes, in fact, are very sour.
Li didn't let the two old men eat more, and brought out the sorghum rice to them.
She herself, together with Jiangxi, ate wild vegetables and wild grapes, and drank soup.
In the middle of the night, Jiang Xi's stomach twitched, she hunched over, and cold sweat dripped down her forehead.
"Hmm......" Although he tried to control it, a painful moan was heard.
Li didn't dare to sleep too hard at night, for fear that something would happen to the two old men, and he was also looking forward to his husband's return, afraid that no one would open the door for him.
When he heard the suppressed voice of Jiang Xi, he woke up.
"Xi'er, are you talking?"
Jiang Xi didn't say anything, Li was tired all day during the day, and she didn't want to let Li worry about her affairs at night.
But Jiang Xi obviously underestimated the power of maternal love, as long as they felt that their children were a little bad, they would also pick up the child and ask for warmth, and take care of it until they were sure that the child was safe and sound, otherwise they would not be able to sleep well all night.
Li was one of them, she reached out and hugged Jiang Xi, and the other hand reached for her forehead.
With a sweat in one hand, Li immediately hugged Jiangxi and sat up.
"Xi'er, what's wrong with you, don't scare your mother!"
Jiang Xi's small hand pulled the hem of Li's clothes and gasped for breath.
"Belly...... Mother, I have a stomachache ......."
Li carefully placed her on the quilt and got up to light a kerosene lamp. Through the faint light, Li saw her distorted expression in pain at a glance, and his heart throbbed.
"Xi'er, don't scare your mother, what's wrong with your stomach? Did you eat too many sour grapes during the day, should you go to the toilet? ”
Jiang Xi was so pained that he didn't have the strength, and it took a lot of effort to nod.
Li carried her on his back, grabbed the oil lamp in one hand, and hurriedly led her to the thatched hut outside the house.
In these years, the toilets are outside, especially in the countryside, and even on the other side of the yard, far away.
"Xi'er, can you still stand firm? Do you want your mother to hold you up? ”
Their toilet is actually on a thatched pit, with two large wooden planks, and people must be careful on it, otherwise one of them will fall down if they are not careful.
It is soaked in some manure water, which is used to water crops and fertilize on weekdays.
If a person falls, he will not be able to water, and he will be gone after two struggles.
Although the river has water in its name, like most people who grow in the mountains, it can't swim.
"No need, mother, you put the oil lamp here, go back and put on another dress, it's cold at night."
The mountain is different from the mountain, the temperature difference between day and night is large, and in summer, no matter how hot it is during the day, it is also cold at night.
Li Shi is not very worried about her alone, in case she falls, she will not even have a chance to take a hand.
"Mother, our family depends on you alone, you can't get sick." Jiang Xi insisted, and as soon as Li thought that she had a point, he went back to the house.
In one night, Jiang Xi pulled his stomach four times, and by the dawn of the morning, he went to the toilet once.
Li was also worried about her and didn't sleep all night.
Fortunately, the two old men in the next room were not woken up by them.
Early the next morning, Li made breakfast, and Jiangxi collapsed on the bed.
The wild grapes she had eaten yesterday were all in vain, even worse than not eating, and all the contents of her stomach were leaked, and now she was empty, and she was very hungry.
Li made a little more breakfast, and half of the rice at home was gone. Rarely, all four of them were half full.
After breakfast, Li said that he would go to the market and find some work to see if he could get through the most difficult period. Yesterday, seeing Jiang Xidu working so hard to pick wild grapes, she couldn't wait at home to die any longer.
When Jiang Xi heard that the Li family was going down the mountain, he quickly ran out and grabbed her clothes.
"Mother, take me too!"
