sleepless tonight

Chapter 248 Filling in the Volunteer
I was shocked when I heard my mother's words, and hurriedly said: "Where did you get the prescriptions, don't try them randomly, they are not reliable, they are all deceptive things."

From the bottom of my heart, I am in awe of Chinese medicine, but this kind of awe is not the same as trust. People also have awe for things like ghosts and gods. I generally have such a mentality for Chinese medicine.

I don't understand it, and I don't deny its role, but I can't do it if I want to believe it.

After all, the education I received and what I saw on the news made me more awed than trusted.

If I have cancer, Western medicine is sure that there is no way to cure it, I may try to use Chinese medicine, try to use folk remedies for conservative treatment, and treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

Chen Le is only three years old.It's just that I can't speak. I don't want my mother to give her food with folk remedies.

I occasionally watch the news, and I have seen many similar tragedies. In order to cure the child, the parents put the child on the fire to smoke, or stuffed it into a steamer with a fire underneath and a quilt on it, saying that it can cure mental illness.

The final outcome is without exception a tragedy.

I don't want this kind of thing to happen to Chen Le, so I was scared when my mother said to use folk remedies.

Before this, I also specially reminded my mother.

"Those are all traditional Chinese medicine. If you are not sick, you will be fine. I have already inquired clearly. There is a family in the neighborhood next door. His grandson was also frightened and could not speak. According to the prescription, he boiled some Chinese medicine and took it for three or four days. It'll be fine after that," my mother said.

"You can't take medicine. It's three-point poisonous. Don't feed your child carelessly. What Xiaole got is not a serious illness, but he can't speak. After a long time, he will definitely be able to tell. If he uses prescriptions to make medicine indiscriminately If she eats, what if something goes wrong." What I said was already a little heavy.

"What's wrong with eating it? I can still harm Xiao Le. Don't worry, I'll take the traditional Chinese medicine first, and then give it to Xiao Le if it's okay. She's three years old, and she's going to go to kindergarten soon. In a month or two, when the school starts, is it possible to let her stay at home? This will delay her studies. When she goes to the kindergarten, she will not be able to speak. Other children bully her, and the teacher bullies her. She will not be able to speak when she comes back. What should I do?" My mother argued with me, "Your aunt, do you know?"

"What's the matter?" I didn't know what my mother wanted my uncle to say.

"Your aunt had a tumor in his stomach. He went to the hospital for an examination. The doctor said that he only had half a year to live. No surgery would work. He could only wait to die. In the end, he didn't know where to get some prescriptions. , he stewed medicine and drank it by himself, and now three or four years have passed, he is still in good health, not only is he fine, but he has gained some weight." My mother said, "I am old, but I am not stupid, it is impossible Giving Xiaole the poison is really useful, so I thought about giving it a try."

I know what my mother said about the situation. When I went back during the Chinese New Year, relatives at home even told me about my aunt. It is impossible to lie.I hesitated a little, wondering if I should listen to my mother.

"Xiao Le has been here for a long time. No matter how you tease her, she doesn't talk. Your father and I take her to hang around every day and play with the children in the community, but she just doesn't open her mouth. Some children still call her little dumb. Xiao Le is still young, so she doesn’t know what it means, and she can’t hear the words. After a long time, if Xiao Le still can’t speak, she will understand this by then. The meaning of the sentence, can you feel better in your heart?" My mother continued to persuade me.

"I'll taste the medicine when it's ready, and give it to Xiao Le when it's all right. It'll be all right. I've also checked the ingredients of those traditional Chinese medicines, and they're all non-toxic."

"Is it true that someone in the neighborhood next door got better after taking the medicine according to the prescription?" I was finally shaken, and the situation my mother said was not impossible.

People with physical disabilities will be more sensitive in their hearts, and it will be very bad for future growth. I don't want Chen Le to become like that. I just want her to grow up healthy and healthy. If she can speak earlier, I am not unwilling Try something else.

If there is really a child who is cured by taking the medicine according to that prescription, Chen Le may give it a try.

"His family opened a grocery store on this road, Wangwang grocery store. Don't worry, I will take you there later and ask together to see if there is such a thing." My mother said.

I hugged Chen Le, followed my mother to the Wangwang grocery store, and asked about it, but what he said was very clear, and he even brought the child over to show me.

I finally believed it and acquiesced to my mother's approach.

In the evening, my mother and I boiled the traditional Chinese medicine together. I didn't let my mother drink it. I drank it myself. After waiting for a while, nothing happened, but it was a bit bitter and the taste was a bit strange.

Chinese medicine should all smell like this, as long as nothing else happens.

I coaxed Chen Le to feed him half a bowl of traditional Chinese medicine.

"Xiao Le, call grandma." My mother couldn't wait, wiped off the medicine stains from the corner of Chen Le's mouth, and teased her.

Chen Le waved his hands, very reluctant to drink the medicine, almost knocked over the medicine in my hand just now.

She still didn't speak, and ran away to play with toys.

My mother was a little disappointed, and I advised her: "It's not that fast, give her another two or three days to see."

When I put the bowl in the kitchen and turned around to look for Chen Le, I found that she didn't play with toys anymore, but ran into the bathroom with a small stool under her feet, took water from the faucet and held it in her mouth. Then spit out the water again.

I found it very interesting, Chen Le was so smart, he actually knew how to rinse his mouth with water to get rid of the bitter taste in his mouth.

As expected of my species, I have inherited my genes, and I am smart in everything I do.

I didn't go there, I just sat on the sofa and watched Chen Le gargling in the bathroom. I felt relieved and at the same time a little disappointed. I only hoped that this prescription would work and help Chen Le speak.

As long as Chen Le can speak, even if I lose five years of life, it will be fine. I suddenly became a believer, and I prayed secretly in my heart.

I didn't leave at night. After bathing Chen Le, I put her on the bed. I lay on the sofa, ready to deal with it all night, and leave tomorrow morning.

But Chen Le ran out suddenly, holding a doll in his hand, ran to me barefoot and wearing boxers, grabbed my legs and climbed up, then lay on my body, with his head resting on my stomach.

"Are you going to sleep with Daddy?" I asked her.

Chen Le nodded.

"Go to sleep with grandma in the house, okay, if you sleep on the sofa, you will fall." I put my arm around Chen Le, preventing her from falling.

Chen Le shook his head, hugged me with both hands, and it hurts to hold my flesh.

"Okay, you can sleep with Dad tonight." I also kind of want to sleep with Chen Le.

Chen Le sat up, sat on my belly, grabbed the doll with both hands, and played with it on his own. I suddenly regretted it. me together.

When I was in a daze and just about to fall asleep, Chen Le rolled my eyelids up, or hit my head with a doll. After a few times, I couldn't sleep at all. She didn't feel sleepy until after ten o'clock. To fall asleep in my arms.

I didn't dare to turn over all night. When I woke up in the morning, my neck hurt and my waist felt uncomfortable. After breakfast, I sneaked away while Chen Le was not paying attention.

I arrived at No. [-] Middle School and prepared to fill in the college entrance examination volunteer.

The admission scores of each university have not yet been announced, but everyone has a reference book issued by the school, which contains the admission scores of each school in the past year, which can be used as a reference for filling in the application form.

"You really don't plan to repeat?" Li Zhengjun persuaded me after knowing that I had to fill in the application form, "Don't think about it again? You will be able to enter Tsinghua University and Peking University if you take the college entrance examination next year, and I have already told the school about your situation. As I said, if you want to re-apply, you don’t need to pay tuition fees, and you can study at home, as long as you take the exam.”

"No, I don't want to take the exam anymore, just fill in the volunteer application." I rejected Li Zhengjun's kindness, since I no longer had the passion to enter Tsinghua University and Peking University, there was no need to take the exam again.

When I went to the computer room of the school, I filled out my volunteers. My first choice was Wuhan University, and my second choice was University of Science and Technology.
