"I don't know what's wrong with this eye, it's always hurting from something. I can't sleep yet, I have to cook first. ”
My house was still too cold, and I was doing my homework at my grandmother's house, and I heard my grandmother complaining to someone at the gate. The sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer, and the afterglow in front of his eyes suddenly brightened.
"Oh, you're doing your homework here." She said, lifting the curtain of the door.
"yes, my house is too cold."
"Do your eyes still hurt?" I asked.
"Does it hurt?" She said as she cleaned up the fabric cotton on the kang. "It still hurts after a lot of medicine."
"I'll take a look at the medicine." I said.
"There are two medicines, and a sticky ointment, can't the glasses still be sharpened?" She took a box, "There is your father who bought it, and I have this one, which has grown in years, and your aunt who bought it, I used it yesterday, and it must have fallen into this crack." She said, and walked over to the side cabinet on the side of the kang.
I flipped it out and saw that the yellow one had expired in May last year, the white one had expired in September this year, and the expiration date of the ointment was no longer visible.
"These medicines are expired and can't be used."
"Oh, what are you afraid of when it's expired?" She said impatiently, "Huh? Where did I put that medicine? I just used it yesterday. ”
"I'll buy eye drops, don't use these just yet."
"No need to buy, no need to use."
"Then you can use it." I said helplessly, ready to buy a box of new medicine and stuff it into this box later.
Before, my dad stood at the door of the living room and said to my grandmother with a wry smile, "Look at this baby, you won't take this medicine when it expires." Before, my mother also said in a hearty voice: "This ointment will not expire!" You love to wipe it or not. "I don't know how this common-sense stuff can become so uncommon-sense. It's also strange to me that I still firmly believe that expired medicine can't be taken in this school of thought. If you want to give a little from this, "What do you think?" If you don't have money, you have to live like this", I think it's still irrational. I don't know if the expiration date of the medicine is oxidized and has no effect, or if it is the formation of new harmful substances. If the former doesn't have any impact, the latter will really outweigh the losses.
"Found it, here." She handed over the red potion.
"Oh, this one expired in May of this year." I said.
"Oh... Then use the one your dad bought," she said, turning thoughtfully.
"I'll buy you medicine, you can sleep for a while."
"I don't sleep, I still have to cook for you, I'll put this medicine on first."
"Ah, I'm not hungry right now, I just ate in the morning."
"How much did you eat in the morning?" She said as she hunched her glasses.
"I just ate at 12 o'clock in the morning, and now it's only one o'clock." I said, "You can get some sleep." ”
She turned around and walked slowly towards the kang. "Alas, these little things have been made in the past few days into my eyes, and they have been grinding and hurting a lot." She sat on the kang and said as she cleaned up the cotton cloth. "Wen Zhuo, you bring me this medicine, and I'll put some medicine on it and sleep for a while."
"I'll buy you some medicine later, you can put it on."
"Oh, no, you can bring me this medicine."
"Then you post it, you post it." I put the medicine on the cabinet next to the kang.
"Well, people probably put this ointment on their eyes to sleep."
"Hmm."
"I'll make a hot pot for you when I go to bed at noon, and I'll make the hot pot ingredients for your aunt."
"Hmm."
"Alas, come on, are you students doing their homework like this? It's just that there is no holiday yet. ”
"Hmm."
"The other people's Oh baby got sick when he came back from Xi'an for a few days, you have to bring a mask when you go out."
"Hmm."
"Alas, I said let's turn on the kitchen water, but your dad was careful not to turn it on, how can this be frozen, just be careful."
"Hmm."
"Do you sleep at night and freeze, if you freeze, I will cover you with the thick quilt I accepted."
"Hmm."
"Ugh."
“…”
The sun also walked away from the house, and the electric heater shining on the body made it even colder on the side with the electric heater on his back.
"Huh? You're still writing. ”
I turned my head and saw that she had lifted herself up to look at me and was lying down again.
"I'll buy you some medicine later."
"No, no, I'll get up and cook for you now." She lifted up and hooked a shoe from the side of the kang.
"I'm not hungry now, I'll go first." I put aside my desk and book and prepared to go out into the street.
"Eh, if you don't go, don't buy medicine." She hurriedly came out of the door and grabbed her hand to stop me.
"I'm going to buy pens and notebooks." I said.
"Oh." She glanced to the side thoughtfully, "Then you can buy another ham sausage and make kung pao chicken for you." ”
"Then I'll come back and you'll do it again."
"Eh, do you still wash vegetables?"
"Ham sausage, right?"
"That's right, ham sausage for two dollars a piece."
"Hmm."
I wanted to walk to the street, but I was so excited when I thought about it that I was walking before, and I almost couldn't come back when I came back. It's better to ride over the bike from the backyard.
I remembered that I used to be in my hometown, and I had to look at my phone for a lot of things. The eyes couldn't stand it anymore, so I went to the pharmacy to buy the potion myself. Auntie said this with a piece of snake glycerin.
I said, "Oh, put the snake glycerin on your eyes." ”
She frowned and looked at me in surprise, "No, no, snake glycerin is eaten, take one after dropping eye drops." He pulled out a medicine bottle and shook it.
I went to the pharmacy this time, and I didn't know if she would recognize me. I passed by two young men dressed in fashionable clothes and hooked shoulders on the street, and I felt that these younger children were walking down the street, always looking at people, as if to make sure they knew this person. Fortunately, I wrapped myself tightly and wore a mask, so I was not afraid of embarrassment when I walked down the street.
There was an uncle in the pharmacy, and I went to the house inside and flashed a young man, who should be the son of the pharmacy owner who studied in geology in China as my father said before, and then went to graduate school somewhere.
"Ah, do you have to fill this in?" I hesitated on a table with a stack of registration forms in front of the pharmacy.
