Sure enough, it didn't take long for a light rain to fall in the sky, and the rain fell to the earth like silky wisps, like the sweat of the spring girl in a hurry, quietly moistening the fertile soil, gently waking up the "tender dolls" sleeping in the ground one by one quietly poked out their little heads, stretched their bodies, and enjoyed bathing, and their appearance dyed the whole earth green.

Spring rain is like a warm hand, caressing the tender doll like a mother, caring for the green leaves in the mountains.

Mei Sanniang sat on the threshold with her arms and looked at the drizzling rain, and the toad crawled out in the rain, puffing out her belly and standing in the rain.

When she was a child, she tried to watch toads under the tiled eaves with her mother-in-law, as if it was a unique pleasure.

I didn't expect that one day she would be able to watch this scene again.

Mei Sanniang stared at the toad and observed carefully, the round toad stared at the two small eye bubbles, his head was tilted, and his feet stretched out, posing as if he was in a tight position.

Mei Xue asked curiously, "Mother, isn't the toad cold?" ”

"Won't they get sick when it's raining?"

Mei Sanniang shook her head and made a gesture, "Shhh, be quiet." ”

"Look."

Xue'er followed her mother's line of sight, only to see many toads crawling out, and one of the toads stood still, her little eyes kept turning, and suddenly, the toad's cheeks bulged. "Suddenly" jumped forward, and a pest went down.

Cher was startled, she had just seen the toad stick out its tongue.

So she shouted, "Mother, look at it." The toad's tongue is long and pink. ”

Although the toad is ugly, its long pink tongue is slightly cute.

Mei Sanniang didn't make a sound, she used to be very Xue'er, as if she had never seen something strange.

That's the child's innocence of the world, and everything becomes meaningful in their eyes.

The rain never stopped, and it rained for a long time in March.

At this time, there is also a most common animal, they can fly, they can make holes.

When the rain encroaches on their territory, the animals crawl out of their holes.

Mei Sanniang has always believed that they should be afraid of drowning in the rain, and this small insect is generally called "earth dog" in the countryside. ”

This little guy has sharp black fangs, but it doesn't hurt to clamp people, and he also has a pair of wings on his back, and his scientific name is "Mole Cricket." ”

When I was a child, there were no toys to play with, and these small insects became toys.

Like grasshoppers, crickets can't run away.

There are many ways to play with grasshoppers, holding a dog's tail grass, scurrying into a string, and a bunch of grasshoppers jumping.

Boredom can also feed grasshoppers, after feeding grasshoppers will grasshoppers for chickens, in the eyes of chickens and ducks, grasshoppers are walking protein, every time the chicken pecks grasshoppers, she feels that grasshoppers eat dry and crisp.

Although grasshoppers can be eaten, she has no idea where to start with this thing, and there are common bamboo insects, that thing Mei Sanniang tasted once, but she just tasted the legs of the insects, so frightened that she closed her eyes tightly, just put it to her mouth, licked it and vomited.

Because the whole bamboo insect tasted it with her legs, after she spit it out, her parents scolded her fiercely.

She didn't remember what she was scolding at the time, but it roughly meant wasting food, saying that the insects were nutritious.

Although people are highly intelligent, the matter of eating insects should not appear in Mei Sanniang's head.

Insects like "earth dogs" can actually be eaten, but some people are not used to eating them, whether it is visually or tastelessly, it does not look like a dish.

There are few strange things that people in the city have seen, and some things can be said to be scarce and expensive, and if there is a lack of them, some people will naturally take them as treasures and rush to eat them.

Now colloquially called: "game." ”

Wild meat is delicious, but once the biological chain is destroyed, it is likely to cause unbearable consequences.

Rats are certainly hateful, but every family has cats, and cats and mice are a matter of course.

In addition to the fact that cats will eat mice, snakes will also eat rats in the field, cause and effect reincarnation, eagles will eat snakes, nature is so awesome.

"Xue'er, let's smoke a small bench and go into the house, don't suffer the cold."

Mei Sanniang carried Guitang into the house, and Mei Xue obediently followed behind her, pulling the two small benches on the ground into the house.

"How long will it rain?" Mei Sanniang looked out the window, her whole person curled up in the quilt, she was used to it on rainy days. In the past, this kind of weather was best for snuggling up under the quilt, then eating small snacks and chasing dramas, but now everything is like a dream.

Obviously, she still has a good time, but she can only spend the rest of her life in this village, Mei Sanniang suddenly felt a little dissatisfied in her heart, but what can she do despite this.

The children need her to take care of them, and they need her to take care of them at home.

She is the only one in this family who has done the most, and as an adult, she must be the pillar of support for the whole family.

"Ahem."

In the light rain, Mei Sanniang could hear the sound of the rain hitting the stones, and suddenly there was a coughing sound, she looked at Xue'er in fear, and thought Xue'er had a cold, she asked eagerly: "Xue'er, have you caught a cold?" ”

This light rainy day is easy to catch a cold, and another person in their family has a cold, which undoubtedly makes the family worse.

Fortunately, it wasn't Xue'er, Xue'er replied: "Mother, it's not me, it's a child outside." ”

Mei Sanniang through the window, vaguely saw a little girl running against the rain, the girl ran very fast, it is estimated that she was hiding from the rain for a while, she never thought that the rain was falling more and more without stopping, but the girl could only run home against the light rain.

Although the rain does not seem to be heavy, it is dense, and if you run in the rain for a while, your hair can be wet.

"This girl is really brave, she dares to run in the rain."

"Xue'er, you can't be like this in the future, it's most likely to catch a cold, especially if you have poor physique, if you get drenched in this rain, you won't be able to get out of bed for ten days and half a month."

Mei Sanniang didn't scare the children, the rain in the past two days was really drenched.

Otherwise, coughing can cough out the heart.

"Today you also heard someone coughing, which sounds not only disturbing the people, but also uncomfortable."

"And when you are sick, you have to spend money, not only to spend money on medicine, this medicine is still bitter, if you have that money, it is better to buy some meat to eat, more comfortable."

"Cher, do you remember what I said about barbecue and hot pot?"

Mei Xue nodded.

"Weather like this is the perfect place to eat something spicy and hot."

"For example, hot pot and barbecue."

Mei Xue hasn't seen it, I don't know what it looks like, but Mei Sanniang can describe it, children, but they can fantasize.

"Mother, when will we be able to eat barbecue and hot pot."

Mei Sanniang has long wanted to eat barbecue and hot pot, but it's a pity where do the conditions in the countryside come from.

"When we have the money, we'll get our own food."

Not to mention whether there is any seasoning, even if there is no seasoning, just with meat, Mei Xue can be hungry for a while, as the saying goes, there is everything in the dream.

I finally waited until the rain stopped, and it was almost dark.

But luckily they had firewood and were able to bake it.

After the rain stopped, Xu Erzhu ran to Mei Sanniang's house as soon as possible.

Mei Sanniang's first thing was to complain about Xu Erzhu.

"Why don't you come in and rub into the grass, look at the dirt everywhere, I've only been cleaning the house for a short time."

Mei Sanniang looked at Xu Erzhu with disgust, this has been eight lifetimes of mold.

Fortunately, no matter what Mei Sanniang said about Xu Erzhu, Xu Erzhu smiled innocently.

"Sanniang, I'll clean it up for you later."

"I'm here to beg for a drink."

Mei Sanniang was tough, but she still poured a cup of hot water for Xu Erzhu.

Xu Erzhu took the hot water and drank it in a big gulp, he was rude and didn't know how to test the water temperature, so he choked and turned his head and coughed, Xu Erzhu coughed badly, so he blocked it with his hand.

Seeing this, Mei Sanniang thought that Xu Erzhu had a cold, but when she saw that he was blushing, coughing breathlessly, and his eyes were full of mist.

"What's wrong? Sick? Is it raining? ”

Xu Erzhu hurriedly explained: "The water was too hot, I didn't grasp it for a while, and I choked." ”

"With my body, how can I catch a cold, even if it's a cold, just wrap it in a quilt and sweat a little."

"It's Sanniang, you and Xue'er, don't catch a cold when you return to the hall."

"On the way here, I saw many people with cough symptoms, and I was afraid that something would happen to you, so I came to take a look."

"Good thing you're all home."

Xu Erzhu's words attracted Mei Sanniang's attention, and Mei Sanniang emphasized again: "Everyone is sick? ”

"It's not, it's just that there are more people coughing."

"It's inevitable that you will get sick on a rainy day like this, so you need to keep warm, I see that they are coughing almost like they can't do it."

Mei Sanniang has been reading the medical books left by Li Zhantang at home recently, and she can be said to be self-taught and has learned a lot.

Especially when it comes to colds, she is particularly sensitive.

"When we came back from chopping wood today, we heard someone coughing, and I thought it was a disease that had accumulated over the years."

Mei Sanniang said that Xu Erzhu didn't understand, he was a reckless man who could understand what kind of disease, if he had a cold, he would rest for a few more days, and he would carry it at home, where did the concept of healing come from.

"Someone in the Zhao family coughs, listening to that sound is like coughing up the heart, it sounds very serious, why don't you go to the doctor?"

When Xu Erzhu heard this, he explained: "Sanniang, it costs money to see a doctor. And there are few of us here who know how to heal, at most we use some earthwork, if we get sick, we can't carry it. ”

Young people can say such things, but what about the elderly, children, do they have to carry it too?

"If you don't get medical treatment for a long time, it can lead to worsening of your condition."

Xu Erzhu was even more helpless at this time, he smiled helplessly and said: "If every family can buy medicine, they won't get sick and carry it." ”

Medical conditions in the countryside are limited, and everyone wants to be treated in a timely manner, but the environmental conditions do not allow it.

"That's right, Sanniang."

Xu Erzhu looked around, Xue'er was still not far away just now, and in the blink of an eye, the kid hid again.

Mei Sanniang seemed to see through it, so she said: "It's not that Xue'er ignores you, the child is not frightened, and he hasn't recovered for a while." ”
