Seventy-nine, eighty-nine, looking at the willows across the river. The east wind is blowing gradually, the snow is melting, the mountains are moist, the grass is close but there is no time of year is the most beautiful time of spring, which makes people look forward to it infinitely.

After the rainy season, the weather warmed up more and more obviously, and the first to improve was the vegetables that Lan Yi planted in the greenhouse, which grew better and better.

Spring River Plumbing "Goose" Prophet. After the ice on the surface of Huaxi on the edge of the village also began to thaw, the five big white geese of Lan Yi's family finally left the small house at the door of the greenhouse, and began to wait by the courtyard gate every morning to wait for Lan Yi to open the door and play in the stream. Animals are the fastest to respond to climate change, the chickens at home lay more eggs, and the goat Er Baa gave birth to three snow-white lambs in one night, which made Lan Yi's family happy.

The women in the village began to run to the mountains to find fruit saplings to plant in their own courtyards, and Lan Yi followed Niu's sister-in-law, Chen and others to run a few times, digging a lot of hawthorns, walnuts, chestnuts, and peppers one or two meters high, and planting them on the edge of their own slopes.

However, this period of time is also the most difficult time. The cabbage and radishes left by everyone last autumn have been eaten, and the wild vegetables in the mountains have not yet sprouted, so the price of vegetables in Lanyi's greenhouse is even higher than that of the previous year, and this situation has continued until the spring equinox.

In the sting season, everything recovers, and the new green in the mountains becomes more and more obvious. The florist Zhao Shangjing rushed back from his hometown and commanded everyone to "loosen" the peony.

Lan Yi was full of expectation to remove the dead leaves and straw of the floating soil little by little, and saw the big red shoots newly drilled on the gray branches of the peony, and felt that nature was really magical, and all things were endless, according to the eternal law of spring and summer.

At the beginning of February, Lan Yi's female goat, Sanba, gave birth to two black-eared lambs, and Lan Yi's goat team increased to eight large and small. Lan Yi increased the amount of rice bran when mixing grass for the two ewes, and added some sugar to the warm water they drank to increase their nutrition.

In this season when everything is recovering and thriving, Lan Yi is also full of confidence, thinking about how to earn more silver this year, thinking about arranging the affairs of the family first, and arranging a trip back to Meixian in March and April, so as to inquire about the affairs of the Wang family and make plans as soon as possible.

I didn't want to be at this time, but the two children fell ill.

This is the most difficult time to rest when it is warm and cold, and Lan Yi is busy with things in the field, so she inevitably ignores the two children. After the start of the school in the village on the twentieth day of the first month, only the children who are less than school age are left to play dog holes and kick bows in the store, and Yuer also takes the baby to the store to play when the weather is good. Unexpectedly, he came and went, but he suffered from the spring cold, and he began to have a fever and cough at night, which made Lan Yi anxious.

Because it was late and she couldn't invite Lang Zhong, Lan Yi had to take care of her two children while lighting the lamp and rummaging through the herbal medicine books she bought last year, but she didn't dare to give the children medicine indiscriminately. She could only rely on her own observation and past experience to judge that the two children had tracheitis, but how to treat it was helpless.

Of course, if there are apples, pears, carrots and rock sugar, she can boil water for them to drink, which is a great home remedy, but here, in this season, where to find these things!

The two children were coughing and not sleeping peacefully, and Lan Yi didn't close her eyes all night. On the morning of the second day, the two children coughed more and more severely, and the baby even spit out the fresh milk they had drunk.

Lan Yi asked Yu'er to take care of the baby temporarily, ran to the second uncle's house by herself, and asked the second aunt to come and have a look. The second aunts, Li and Chen, had not yet cooked breakfast, and when they heard that the two children were sick, they hurriedly put down the firewood and returned home with Lan Yi.

"This is amazing, I have to ask Lang Zhong to take a look. Bao'er and her mother, you cover the two children tightly first, don't get cold again, I will let the third child invite Langzhong. ”

"Thank you, second aunt, I'm afraid that these two children will cough and make others sick, you are optimistic about Dafu, don't let him come over these two days." Lan Yi knew that tracheitis was contagious, but she didn't know what happened to the children of other families.

Li nodded and hurried away.

Wang Linyuan quickly invited Zhou Langzhong from Zhoujia Village. After Zhou Langzhong checked the pulse of the two children, checked the tongue coating and eyelids, sat solemnly at the table of the Eight Immortals in the hall, and wrote two prescriptions with a brush.

"Both children had a dull cough, white and sticky sputum, a white and greasy tongue, and a smooth pulse...... If the old man sees it correctly, this is the appearance of external cold and internal drinking, phlegm and dampness cohesion, and this disease is menacing, and it is necessary to use all the medicine. Grab the medicine according to these two prescriptions first, and boil half of each morning and evening to feed the child. ”

Lan Yi didn't understand what Zhou Langzhong was talking about, she took the prescription and looked at it carefully. Fortunately, the prescriptions prescribed by Lang Zhong in these years are not as good as those prescribed by doctors in modern hospitals, and Zhou Langzhong's self-writing is very neat and easy to recognize. The prescription is ephedra, almond, licorice, perilla leaves, banxia, baiqian, poria cocos, tangerine peel and other medicines, according to Lan Yi understands that the effect of these medicines is quite mild, and there is not much stimulation for the two children, no matter how much she doesn't understand.

"Thank you. These two children are sick urgently, what's going on? How many days do I have to take this medicine? What is there to eat? ”

Zhou Langzhong stroked his long beard and said slowly: "Phlegm is born in the spleen, stained in the lungs, phlegm and dampness gather in the middle of the coke, and the cold is born from it, so the cough and phlegm are white and sticky; …… The pulse is slippery, and it is also a sign of phlegm and dampness. Take this medicine first, and the diet should also be light. ”

One marquis is five days. Lan Yi nodded, and after paying the consultation fee and medicine fee, she asked Wang Linyuan to follow Zhou Langzhong to grab the medicine. Although she still has medicinal herbs such as perilla, banxia, and baiqian collected last year in her cellar, the children are so sick that they dare to add them casually.

Lan Yi boiled thin rice soup for the two children and let them drink it. Yu'er looked at the spirit and was fine, the baby was a little stricter, stretching his neck and coughing constantly, every sound made Lan Yi's heart tremble. She couldn't wait to give herself two slaps, knowing that the spring was cold, knowing that the child was still young, and knowing that there was a shortage of doctors and medicines in this era, but she was still careless!

"Mother, it's all my fault, I don't take a good look at my brother." Yu'er saw her mother hugging her younger brother, and she was so anxious that tears rolled in her eyes, and she blamed herself.

Lan Yi looked up, saw Yu'er's worried and self-blaming appearance, and reached out to pull him over and hugged him in her arms: "How can my mother blame you, it's all my mother's fault, my mother should take good care of you, Yu'er has done a good job." Don't be afraid, the third uncle will come back from the medicine, and you will be fine soon. ”

"Mother......" Yu'er put her feverish and red-hot little face against Lan Yi's neck, and couldn't help sobbing. Although he is young, he also knows that he is different from his younger brother, he is not born to his mother, if something really happens to his brother, his mother will be even more sad, "Mother......"

The baby raised his head in Lan Yi's arms, rubbed his little nose, and said sullenly: "Mother...... Hungry. ”

Lan Yi heard that the baby was still hungry, and suddenly came to her senses: "Well, my mother will bring you the cakes in the pot, which are your favorite soft cakes." ”

Before Lan Yi got up, Chen pushed open the door of the hall, lifted the curtain and entered the east room, carrying a basket in his hand: "Sister-in-law, Lang Zhong is gone, how are the two children?" ”

"I've seen it, and I've taken the medicine. Second brother and sister, why are you here, didn't I tell the second aunt that it's okay not to come over for these two days. ”

Chen shook his head: "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about, why are you busy coming over when the two children are sick, my mother-in-law asked me to come over and give you a hand." The egg was freshly picked up, so I went to cook it for the children. ”

In the country, eggs are a good thing, and it is also good to boil two eggs for the children when they are sick. Lan Yi knew that she shouldn't eat eggs when she had a fever, she shook her head and said, "Second brother and sister, there are cakes I made in the pot, please ask the second brother and sister to help me bring them." Eggs they can't eat. ”

After the two children ate a few bites, Wang Linyuan came back with the medicine bag, and Chen took it to the kitchen to decoct the medicine. Wang Linyuan looked at his sister-in-law's worried look and comforted: "Sister-in-law, give the two children medicine first, and if it doesn't work, I will go to Jishantang in the city to invite Langzhong." Leave the affairs of the field to me and my second brother for the next two days, and I will also lead the goats and donkeys in the yard to the hillside, and then bring them back in the evening. ”

"Thank you, third brother. Brother and sister are alone with the second girl, don't let her come over, be careful of the sickness. "Here she and the Chen family can also turn away.

Chen quickly boiled the herbs and brought them up, and Lan Yi felt uncomfortable when she looked at the strong black and unpleasant medicine in the two bowls, but there was no way.

"Yu'er, you are the elder brother, you have to set a good example for the younger brother, come, drink the medicine first."

Yu'er nodded, picked up the medicine bowl and drank it in one gulp.

Chen wiped the corners of his mouth and praised: "Yu'er is really good, Dafu can't pour it without pinching his nose." ”

Lan Yi picked up the bowl and handed the medicine to the baby's mouth: "Good baby, drink the medicine, just drink the medicine." ”

The baby pursed his lips and gently sipped: "Stinky ......"

"Good baby, after drinking, my mother will give you sweet water, and it won't stink."

The baby wrinkled his little face and drank most of the medicine, and Lan Yi saw that the two children had taken the medicine, and her heart was a little more stable.

It is said that good medicine is bitter, but it is not easy for two children to eat such a bitter medicine. In modern times, the medicines that babies take are all sweet and do not require much effort to eat, and even some children like to take medicines. When Lan Yi's little nephew was more than two years old, he once sat on the sofa in a daze and was bored, and he muttered: "I'm thirsty, my aunt will make me a pack of cold powder to drink." ”

This incident made Lan Yi laugh for a long time. With comparison, I know how happy the children of that era were.

The two children were resting on the kang, Lan Yi checked the baby's situation from time to time, and Chen was accompanying him, but after about half an hour, the baby turned over and coughed a few times and spit out all the medicine and things he had eaten.

"Oh, what can I do, I'll go through it again." Chen stood up and went out to boil the medicine with a medicine bowl.

Lan Yi looked at the baby's uncomfortable appearance, and tears began to roll, she really wanted to transfer all the illnesses to herself and let herself be sick for them.

But she knows that she can't panic now, and she must calm down, so that she can judge the situation of the two children and not make mistakes.

After Chen's finished boiling the medicine, Lan Yi fed the baby to drink it again, but he vomited again not long after drinking it. The baby's little face became redder and his cough became more and more alarming.

Chen got up and comforted: "Don't be afraid, I'll boil it again, I have to let him drink it." ”

Lan Yi shook her head and stood up: "Brother and sister, this can't work. I'll go into the city immediately to ask Lang Zhong, and the two children will trouble you to take care of me, and I'll be back soon. ”

"Sister-in-law, the child is sick, let Niuniu and her father go, you can rest assured that you are guarding the two children at home." The Chen family knew that the child could not leave his mother now, and if Lan Yi didn't make trouble with them again, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to coax him.

"The baby is seriously ill, and I am afraid that if I can't find a good man, I will be delayed. I went into the city to find Brother Xia in the Xia Mansion and asked him to help me invite the best Lang Zhong. "As for Lang Zhong of Jishan Hall, Lan Yi didn't dare to guarantee that they were the best, and now all she could think of was Mrs. Qin and Xia Chongxiao from Xia Mansion.

Yu'er saw that her mother was about to leave with her clothes on, and when she saw her brother's uncomfortable appearance, she couldn't help crying.

Chen hurriedly pulled him aside to wipe his tears: "You kid, you just praised you for being sensible, why are you crying again!" ”

Although Lan Yi was anxious, she also squatted down patiently, wiped her tears for Yu'er and asked, "Yu'er, sue Sù Niang, is it uncomfortable, why are you crying?" ”

Yu'er snorted, pulled Lan Yi's arm and said, "Mother, is my brother going to die?" ”

"What nonsense!" Chen hurriedly stopped, pulling his arm harder, Yu'er was too frightened to speak anymore, and coughed.

Lan Yi knew that Yu'er was worried, so she wiped his nose: "My brother is just sick and won't die, Yu'er don't worry, take good care of my brother at home and my second aunt, and my mother will soon invite you to come back with a better Langzhong." ”

Lan Yi went to the hillside to take out the donkey that was grazing in the fence, explained the situation to a few people who were busy working on the hillside, and rode the donkey straight to the county seat. R1152
