Red apricots make spring

Chapter 20
Ruan hesitated for a long time, and in order to further confirm her judgment, she asked again: "What do we usually eat at home?"

When the woman saw that she suddenly asked this question, her doubts deepened, but she still answered truthfully: "It's because I, a mother, have no skills. I work hard every day, but I can't make money. If you didn't stay in this mansion, Often donating a few money, the family is really poor and can't get rid of the pot. Rao, on weekdays, I only eat some vegetable porridge, corn porridge, sorghum noodles and steamed buns, and I just order pickles for a meal. Make some soup and pancakes for your younger brother with two catties of white flour, even if it’s the New Year’s Eve, you can’t afford big fish and meat, make some vegetarian dumplings, and cut two or three taels of pork head meat, your younger brother..." So far , the woman became sad again, her voice choked up and said: "You can also be happy for several days..."

Wen Rou felt sad for a while. She always knew that the grain output in ancient times was not high, and an average of ten acres of land could support one person. In bad times or when pests were rampant, famines often occurred. After all, this kind of thing is too far away from her life. Now after hearing what the woman said, I realized that the life of the poor in ancient times was really difficult!Therefore, it is even more certain that Brother Ruhua's illness is mostly caused by chronic hunger caused by not eating enough for many years.

She calculated it carefully in her heart, and felt that if she didn't take the medicine to treat edema, she would not die for a while, but if she was really seriously malnourished, it would be easy to die, the lesser of two evils!Why don't you give Ruhua's younger brother some nutrition first, if it doesn't work, it's not too late to ask the doctor to take medicine, at least with nutrition, the body's resistance will be stronger, and the disease will be easier to get better.

Thinking of this, Rou Rou simply said to the woman: "Don't ask a doctor for your younger brother for now."

"Ah?" The woman was stunned, she didn't expect Wen Rou to say this, her legs softened, she couldn't stand upright, she sat back on the kang, she rubbed her chest and cried bitterly: "If you don't ask the doctor, don't you just let me Do you want to watch my son die in Huangquan?"

Listening to her crying tone with a bit of complaint and dissatisfaction, Rourou knew that she had misunderstood herself to save money and was about to let go, so she sighed helplessly and explained: "Mother, I will not harm my brother, you first Hear me out."

The woman didn't answer, just lowered her head and cried.

Rourou continued: "I heard what you said about the symptoms just now, and I don't think what my brother has is edema."

"Is it not edema?" The woman suddenly raised her head and opened her eyes wide.

"I think he is malnourished!" Uh, I lost my mouth too quickly, the word malnutrition is not easy for the ancients to understand, right?So Ruan changed the way of saying: "It's just that I can't eat enough for a long time, and I'm hungry."

When the woman heard this, she shook her head like a rattle, and said, "I don't believe it. How can there be any reason why you don't want to eat when you're hungry? Recently, I often pancake for him, and he put it down after he couldn't eat a few bites. "

Khan, how did the ancients explain the protein problem?Gentle head said: "That's different, he needs to eat meat, eggs, and milk of cow and goat! In short, he needs to eat meat!"

The woman still shook her head and said: "According to what you said, don't all the monks in the temple have to be sick? But they live well! There are also wives from rich and noble families who like to be vegetarian, so why don't they suffer from this disease?" ?”

Hematemesis!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?The ancient monks had such a good life, and there were rich and noble families who were vegetarians, and they were very particular about their vegetarian dishes. How could they use Wen Gangbi, who was born in the same year without oil and water, and could not even eat white noodles?But she really couldn't explain these words clearly to the woman.

Wen Rou thought hard for a while, and then 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 she also suffers from this kind of disease. The family is in a hurry and has no money. Asked the doctor to see a doctor, finally she took a chance and asked the doctor for a prescription when the doctor who often took the master's pulse came to the door. But the doctor said it was not a disease, but hungry, and asked her brother to wait a few minutes Drink some cow and goat milk, eat some meat, if the family is poor, eat more tofu and eat some melon seeds. Not to mention, this trick is really effective, and now her brother's health is getting better every day, but before When she told me about it a few days ago, I still didn’t believe it, but now that I think about it, my brother is suffering from this kind of disease? Why is it that he has been taking medicine for so long and still not getting better?”

In order to try to be realistic, these words were gentle, and she was spitting and vivid. In the end, even she herself felt that her tone was too exaggerated, similar to the kind of pimping matchmaker in TV dramas. Put a matchmaker hemorrhoid on the mouth.

"Really?" With a real example, the woman became suspicious.

"Really, really, 1000 or [-] reals." Rourou hurriedly packed the ticket, and lied, "The one who diagnosed the master's pulse is a famous genius doctor, much more capable than Dr. Li in the east of the city, why wouldn't the master invite Dr. Li to come and diagnose the pulse?" What about it?" While speaking, she was amused, if Ru Hua's mother knew that this genius doctor was her, she wondered if she would want to strangle her to death.

The woman didn't know what Ruan Rou was thinking, she lowered her head and thought, but it was true, the master of the Zhao family was so rich, the doctor he hired must be more talented, so she was a little moved and said: "Then what should I give Gang'er to eat?" How about that?"

"Well, let me think about it!" Rourou frowned and said, "Let him drink a bowl of milk a day—"

At this moment, the woman relaxed her mind a little, and finally noticed the loophole in the gentle words, interrupted her hastily, and said in surprise, "Where can I find milk? Only goat's milk!"

Well?No milk?Wen Rou was also surprised, it seemed that she had made some common sense mistakes, but now was not the time to study carefully, she hurriedly said: "Then drink goat's milk! At the beginning, stew some chicken soup, goat soup or something, There is also fish soup, eat more tofu, it is easy to absorb, and after a period of conditioning, when his health is getting better, he only needs to drink some goat milk and eat some tofu eggs every day. Ah, yes, let him He eats some fresh fruits and vegetables, red dates, pork knuckle soup with red dates, this one is also good!"

Embarrassment, she seems to have said it smoothly, and she talked about it in a mess, even talking about food suitable for pregnant women such as red dates and pork knuckle soup.Forget it, take care of him!Anyway, Wen Gang must be malnourished, and he may not only be short of protein, but he may also be short of a lot of trace elements. Eat some pork knuckle soup with red dates to replenish blood, and beautify yourself!For children, nutrition can keep up, and physical development is good, so they have a good future!
The woman was dazed again by Rou'er's phone call, she was stunned for a long time, and suddenly said, "Rou'er, you seem to be a little different from before."

ah? !Wenrou heard the words and felt a sudden shock in her heart. Could it be that she talked too much and showed her feet?Seeing that the woman was only puzzled and didn't pinch any loopholes in her words, she immediately let go of her heart and forced a smile: "Mother, I just thought that my brother's illness was cured, so I was too happy for a while. Anyway You follow my advice, go back and take good care of your brother, and he will gradually get better."

The woman nodded quickly, but Ruan Ruan said a lot just now, and she couldn't understand some words, so she had to ask again, and when Ruan Ruan repeated it, she remembered it clearly, and suddenly showed a hesitant look on her face, hesitatingly said: " Will it really work?"

"Really!" Rourou reassured again: "Why don't you try it first, if it doesn't work, you can ask Dr. Li to see a doctor for your younger brother, so I can have some time to collect money."

When money was mentioned, the woman became depressed again, and sighed: "Mother also wants Gang'er to eat better, but the family has no money..."

Yes!A penny can't kill a hero. If you want to eat well, you must have money!Wenrou had a headache again and started to make money, but the most important thing at the moment is to send this woman back to take care of Wen Gang's body. She thought about it and took out the silver-plated hairpin that she had been carrying in her bosom all this time. , Passed it to the woman and said: "This hairpin is also worth three or four renminbi. Mother, you can pawn or sell it. Use the money first, and I will find a way to get the money. You will come to me after two days."
