"Your sister and you are at home?"

Mei Sanniang usually doesn't like to pay attention to other people, but this Liu Tao is different, Mei Sanniang has suffered a lot of humiliation before, although she has not experienced the pain of the original owner, but she can feel it cordially in her memory.

The child in front of her looked distressing, and she asked again: "How long has your sister had this symptom?" ”

The child also told the truth: "It's been about three days." ”

"A few days ago, my sister came back and said that she had a headache, I thought it would be good to sleep, but the next day I collapsed in bed, my sister kept coughing, and today I started to have a fever, and the fever is extremely bad."

This is no longer an ordinary cold, this flu spreads quickly, as long as the immunity is not good, it is easy to be targeted by the cold.

"It's okay, your sister will be fine soon."

Liu Tao is just a child, and what the adults say is extremely credible, so his sad face gradually dissipated, and there was a glimmer of hope on his face.

Mei Sanniang took Liu Tao home, Mei Xue took a look in the yard, and thought that something was wrong, and estimated that she had something to do with Liu Tao running out to play.

Before Mei Sanniang could question, Mei Xue began to admit her mistake the moment she saw Liu Tao.

"Mother, it's my fault, I shouldn't go out to play."

Mei Sanniang was also shocked when she saw Xue'er admitting her mistake in front of her, and then Liu Tao defended Xue'er: "Aunt Mei, Xue'er is not to blame for this matter, I instigated Xue'er to play." ”

When talking about these things, Mei Sanniang didn't blame Xue'er, she said: "What will I talk about later, Liu Tao, don't you want to take medicine?" You're waiting here. ”

Along the way, she roughly understood the condition, so she picked up a pair of self-prepared medicinal materials, roughly some magnolia, tangerine peel, banxia, angelica, bellflower, poria cocos, licorice, ginger slices, and green onions.

Outside the house, Liu Tao looked at Mei Xue apologetically, and Mei Xue thought that the matter of them going out had been exposed.

"Liu Tao, are you okay?"

Liu Tao shook his head, and then he couldn't hold back.

"My sister has a fever, what you said before is true, I feel that my sister is also sick."

"Teacher Liu, she?"

Liu Tao looked at Mei Xue helplessly, and he said, "Aunt Mei said to give my sister a few pills, and that's the only way." ”

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have instigated you to play with me before, if I had listened to you earlier and taken precautions, my sister shouldn't have had a fever, but now she is lying on the bed and can't move, coupled with a violent cough, she will be woken up in the middle of the night when she falls asleep."

Every time he wanted to get close to take care of his sister, he was rejected by her one by one, and even yelled with a violent cough not to approach, it would be contagious.

At first, there were many sick children in the school, and Liu Tao's sister Liu Ju also visited them one by one, and she should have contracted the disease at that time.

"What do you say, Mr. Liu will definitely get better."

Mei Xue and Liu Tao were waiting outside, and Mei Sanniang prescribed three pairs of medicines for Liu Tao's sister, because she didn't know whether the effect of Chinese medicine was good or not, but what she knew was that the ingredients of Chinese medicine were moderate and would not hurt other organs, but the degree of effect was lower than that of Western medicine.

Some medicines treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and when she first arrived, Mei Sanniang still prescribed less medicine.

After distributing the medicine, she gave it to Liu Tao, and reminded: "Three times a day, a total of three days of medicine, don't be spicy." ”

Liu Tao excitedly took the medicine grabbed by Mei Sanniang, and kept thanking him: "Thank you, Aunt Mei, thank you, Aunt Mei." ”

"Come home, your sister is still waiting for you."

"Take this medicine after meals, and don't drink water after half an hour of drinking."

"Usually eat more fruits, supplement vitamin C, improve immunity, immunity goes up, the body is naturally better."

"Don't be afraid if you have a fever, you can give your sister more physical cooling, cover your sister's forehead with a wet towel, and apply it to your armpits if you can."

"A fever means that the immune system in the body is going crazy."

"This is enough to show that there are germs in the body, but burning all the time will make people stupid, you must remember not to let your sister cover your sweat."

"Some of the earthwork doesn't really work."

After Mei Sanniang finished telling this, she urged: "Go back quickly." ”

Liu Tao nodded excitedly, then his eyes fell on Mei Xue, and he said sincerely: "Thank you." ”

After Liu Tao left, Mei Xue suddenly knelt in front of Mei Sanniang and kept admitting her mistakes.

"Mother, it's Xue'er who is disobedient."

Mei Xue knew that her mother did all this for her good, but she didn't want to lose this friend, so she chose to sneak out.

When her mother brought Liu Tao back, she immediately realized her mistake.

"Mother, can you not be angry, Xue'er won't dare next time."

Mei Sanniang was not angry, because she could see that Xue'er had gone out and gone up the mountain from March Bubble.

But for the sake of the child admitting her mistake, Mei Sanniang still pretended to be a little angry, and she warned: "Have you forgotten what I said before?" ”

"Are you wearing a mask when you go out?"

Mei Xue nodded again and again: "Wear it." ”

As long as she wears a mask, it's okay, she sews silk inside the mask, this mask is precious, she takes it to wash it every time she uses it, and then bake it in the sun, or take it to the stove to bake at high temperature.

"It's okay, Liu Tao, this kid is in good health, he should be fine, and you are wearing a mask, 80% of the time there will be no problems."

"Xue'er, tomorrow my mother is going to town, you just stay at home, and if you have anything, you will go to your Uncle Erzhu."

"You are still young, don't hold grudges, your second uncle takes special care of his mother's family, even if he becomes the type you don't like, but because his mother has become like this."

"You must always remember that your Uncle Erzhu will never harm you, let alone your mother."

Mei Sanniang can be sure that she knows best what kind of person Xu Erzhu looks like.

Mei Xue was silent after hearing this, she was afraid of Uncle Erzhu, who was beating people, and even more afraid of that kind of emotionless fight, as if one day a thick fist would fall on her.

"Xue'er knows, don't worry, I will take care of my brother."

Mei Sanniang smiled with relief after hearing this, and then the smile gradually disappeared with Old Man Li's cough.

Mei Sanniang finally understood why the older generation said, "Raising children to prevent old age." ”

Daughters are going to get married, spill the water, and raise children just to provide for the old age of the previous generation, and have children to take care of when they are sick.

Like Old Man Li, he has no children, he doesn't even have a wife, and no one cares about him when he is seriously ill, let alone anyone takes care of him.

When Mei Sanniang thought of this, she suddenly recalled what her mother-in-law had said to her before.

The old man seems to be very afraid that his offspring will not provide for his old age, and will repeatedly ask, "Will you honor your mother-in-law in the future?" ”

Honoring the elderly is what children should do, and filial piety comes first from ancient times to the present.

Whether it is old or young, it is a living life. So she stayed, using little knowledge to raise her children.

The next day she set out for the town, and left home about the time it was getting hazy.

She kept hurrying along the way, and sometimes she would hear the sound of someone coughing on the road, and the splash of saliva looked particularly infiltrating, and she couldn't help but speed up her pace.

When I arrived in the town, every house was closed, except for a few vendors who were still shouting, adding some life to the deserted streets.

Mei Sanniang came to Longfeng Town this time to buy some goods.

She asked several grocery stores in a row, but none of them sold marine fish.

"Thank you."

"Are there any other places where you might sell marine fish?"

The aunt on the opposite side looked at Mei Sanniang like an orangutan in an amusement park.

"I don't have this kind of seafood, only the coastal areas are abundant."

"We're not a big city here, only the city is estimated to sell it, or you should go to the fish shop and have a look."

After Mei Sanniang thanked her aunt, she followed her aunt's instructions and walked forward, turned left into a fork in the road, turned right and walked a hundred meters, and sure enough, she saw a fish shop.

It's just that there are few people who buy fish now, and every family is at home, unlike in the village, where many people still get together and chatter, and only like Uncle Li, who can't get out of bed anymore, don't go out.

The people in the town seemed to be more alert, and Mei Sanniang walked forward, where the owner of the fish seller was changing the water for the fish.

Mei Sanniang looked at the fish in the store and asked, "Boss, is there any sea fish for sale?" ”

The boss is a man of about forty or fifty years old, he is relatively burly, he has a lot of fish scales on his rubber bucket shoes, he raised his head to look at Mei Sanniang, and said a thick local dialect: "Sister, where is this sea fish sold, there are grass carp, carp, crucian carp, do you want it." ”

"Aren't there any sea fish?" Mei Sanniang is still a little unwilling, it stands to reason that this fish seller has a wide range of roads, and he should know where to sell.

"Sister, I'm a small shop here, this sea fish must only be pickled bacon meat, if you don't go to the nearest market to have a look, maybe there will be."

Mei Sanniang thought there would be, but she was a little disappointed.

"Thank you, boss, I'll take a look again, if not, I'll come back to you and buy it."

Mei Sanniang turned around and asked for directions, and came to the market, which was also extremely deserted, with rotten leaves everywhere on the ground, and some rotten fruits.

Mei Sanniang went straight to the stall selling fish, the boss was scraping the scales, and before Mei Sanniang approached, the boss who sold the fish opened his mouth with a smile.

"Sister, buy fish? My fish is always fresh, why don't I buy one? ”

Mei Sanniang looked east and west, and then asked, "Do you have any fish to buy?" ”

The boss took a look, this little girl knew the goods.

"We don't have fish here, these are all seafood, we only sell freshwater fish here, and it is expensive to ship it back from the seaside, we can't afford this freight, how can we sell sea fish."

Mei Sanniang didn't believe that she really couldn't buy sea fish, "Then do you know where to buy it?" A small piece is OK, just try it fresh, I have never eaten sea fish, I want to taste it. ”

The boss is well-informed, he told Mei Sanniang: "Sea fish is not as delicious as freshwater fish, you see this silver carp, at least five catties." ”

"It's the same with buying freshwater fish, pickled sea fish is salty and not tasty."
