Chapter 15 Bitter Mouth
Wen Wen hesitated for a long time, and in order to further confirm his judgment, he asked again: "What do we usually eat at home?" ”
When the woman saw her suddenly ask this, her doubts deepened, but she still replied truthfully: "It's all because I, a mother, have no ability, and I can't earn money by doing death and work every day. Rao is like this, often just eat some vegetable porridge, corn porridge, sorghum noodles wotou, just order pickles is a meal, occasionally richer, weigh two catties of white noodles for your brother to make a few meals of soup and cakes to solve the slander, even if it is the New Year's Day, you can't afford to buy big fish and meat, wrap some vegetarian dumplings, cut three taels of pig's head meat, your brother he ......" Speaking of this, the woman became sad again, and her voice choked up: "I can also rejoice for several days......"
Gentle listening to a burst of sadness, she has always known that the ancient grain yield is not high, an average of ten acres of land can feed a person, in the bad year or pest rampant season, there is often famine, but know that this kind of thing is too far away from her life after all, now listening to the woman say this, only to know that the life of the poor in ancient times is really not good! So I am even more sure that most of Ruhua's younger brother's illness is chronic hunger caused by not eating well and not having enough to eat for many years.
She thought carefully in her heart, and felt that if she didn't take medicine for edema, she should not be able to die for a while, but if it was really seriously malnourished, it was easy to kill people, and the lesser of two evils! It's better to add some nutrition to Ruhua's younger brother first, if there is no effect, it is not too late to ask a doctor to take medicine, so that with nutrition, the body's resistance can be stronger, and the disease is easier to get better.
Thinking of this, Wen Rou simply said to the woman: "Don't ask my brother for a doctor for the time being." ”
"Huh?" The woman was stunned, she didn't expect Wen Wen to say this, she couldn't help but weaken her legs, sat back on the kang unsteadily, stroked her chest and cried bitterly: "Don't invite a doctor, don't you just let me watch my son die?" ”
Listening to her crying tone with a bit of complaint and dissatisfaction, she knew that she had misunderstood that she was ready to leave it alone in order to save money, so she sighed helplessly and explained: "Mother, I won't harm my brother, you listen to me first." ”
The woman did not answer, but bowed her head and wept.
Gentleness continued: "I listened to what you just said, and I think my brother is not suffering from edema. ”
"It's not edema, what's the disease?" The woman suddenly raised her head and her eyes widened.
"I think he's malnourished!" Uh, the word malnutrition is not easy to understand for the ancients, right? So Gentle changed his words and said: "It's that adults can't eat enough and are hungry." ”
When the woman heard this, she shook her head like a rattle, and said, "I don't believe it, but how can it be that you are hungry and do not want to eat?" Lately, I've been baking cakes for him, and he can't even take a few bites before putting them down. ”
Khan, how did the ancients explain the problem of protein? Gentle head avenue: "That's different, he needs to eat meat, eggs, and drink cow and goat milk!" In short, you need to eat meat! ”
The woman shook her head and said, "According to what you say, don't all the monks in the temple have to get sick?" But people live well! There are also the wives of rich and noble families, who also like to eat vegetarian food, why can't they have this kind of disease? ”
Haematemesis! That's because soy products made from beans such as soybeans, black beans, and green beans, as well as dried fruits such as walnuts, almonds, and pine nuts also contain a lot of protein, okay? How nourishing the ancient monks were, and the rich and noble families who were vegetarians, the vegetarian dishes they made were very particular, how could they be compared to Wen Gang, who did not eat oil and water in the same year, and could not eat enough white noodles? But she really couldn't explain these words to the woman.
After thinking about it for a while, she had an idea: "Mother, to tell you the truth, there is a sister in this house, her younger brother is about the same age as Gang'er, and he also has this disease, the family is in a hurry, and there is no money to ask a doctor to see the disease, and finally she took an opportunity, and took advantage of the doctor who often diagnoses the pulse of the old man to come to the door, and begged the doctor to prescribe a prescription." As a result, the doctor said that it was not a disease, but a hunger, and asked her brother to drink more cow and goat milk, eat some meat, and if the family was poor, he would eat more tofu and eat some melon seeds. Not to mention, this trick really works, and now her brother's body is getting better day by day, but when I talked about it a few times ago, I still didn't believe it, and now I think about it, isn't my brother suffering from such a disease? Why don't you take the medicine for so long, and it doesn't get better? ”
In order to strive for realism, these words were said gently, and they were simply spittle, colorful, and in the end, even she felt that the tone was too exaggerated, similar to the kind of pimping matchmaker played in the TV series, almost throwing a handkerchief, and then dotting a matchmaker's hemorrhoids on the side of her mouth.
"Really?" With real examples, the woman doubted her faith.
"Really, really, 1,200." Wen Wen hurriedly packed the ticket and lied: "The one who diagnoses the pulse for the old man is a famous miracle doctor, and he is much more capable than Dr. Li in the east of the city, otherwise why didn't the old man invite Dr. Li to diagnose the pulse?" While saying that, she was amused in her heart, if Ruhua's mother knew that this miracle doctor was her, I don't know if she would want to strangle her.
How did the woman know what Wen Wen was thinking in her heart, she lowered her head and thought about it, but too, the old man of Zhao Mansion is so rich, the doctor he invited must be more clever, so she said with some interest: "Then what should I eat for Gang'er?" ”
"Well, I want to think about it!" Gentle frowned and said, "Let him drink a bowl of milk a day-"
The woman was slightly relieved at this moment, and finally noticed the loophole in the gentle words, and hurriedly interrupted her, and said in surprise: "Where can I find milk?" Only goat's milk! ”
Not? No milk? Gentle was also surprised, it seemed that she had made some common sense mistake, but this was not the time to delve into it, so she hurriedly said, "Then drink goat's milk!" At the beginning, stew some chicken soup, sheep soup or something, and fish soup, and eat more tofu, which is easy to absorb, so that he can be conditioned for a period of time, and when his health gradually improves, he only needs to drink some goat milk and eat some tofu and eggs every day. Ah, by the way, let him eat some fresh fruits and vegetables, red dates, red dates pork knuckle soup, this is not bad! ”
Embarrassment, she seemed to be smooth, and talked a lot of nonsense, even about the food suitable for pregnant women, such as red date pork knuckle soup. Forget it, whatever! Anyway, Wen Gang must be malnourished, and he may not only lack protein, maybe he also lacks a lot of trace elements. Children, nutrition can keep up, good physical development, only a good future!
The woman was dizzy by the gentle call, and was stunned for a long time, and suddenly said, "Rou'er, you seem to be a little different from before." ”
Yes?! Wen Wen Yan suddenly felt stunned in his heart, could it be that he said too much and exposed his feet, right? Seeing that the woman was just puzzled, she didn't pinch any loopholes in her words, and suddenly put her mind at ease, and reluctantly smiled: "Mother, I just thought that my brother's illness was cured, and I was too happy for a while." Anyway, if you follow my words, go back and recuperate for your brother, and he will slowly get better. ”
The woman nodded hurriedly, but Wen Wen just said a lot, and she couldn't understand some words, so she had to ask again, and when Wen Wen repeated it, she remembered it clearly, and suddenly showed a hesitant look on her face, and hesitated: "Will it really work?" ”
"Really!" Wen Rou reassured: "You might as well try it first, if it doesn't work, you can also ask Dr. Li to continue to treat my brother, and I have some time to raise money." ”
At the mention of money, the woman became depressed again, and sighed: "My mother also wants Gang'er to eat better, but the family has no money......
That's right! A penny is hard to kill a hero, if you want to eat well, you naturally have to be rich! Gentle and headache of how to make money, but the most important thing at the moment is to quickly send the woman back to recuperate for Wen Gang, she thought about it, took out the silver-plated hairpin that had been in her arms, and handed it to the woman: "This hairpin is also worth three or four dollars of silver, mother, you or sell it, use the money first, I will find a way to get money again, you will come to me in two days." ”
