Siheyuan: The farm in my mind is in your hands.

Chapter 45: Good medicine tastes bitter, specializes in treating edema

The child was already bringing in water from a gourd ladle to wipe the woman's face.

The woman in bed who was unable to move yesterday is now able to sit up.

The look she gave Chen Jianghe was still filled with unbreakable emotion, which was probably the mother-son love.

Chen Jianghe blinked hard, picked up the child and said calmly:

"Isn't he the big brother? How come he's the little uncle again?"

Weighing the cat-like child in his arms, Chen Jianghe felt sad again. The child had suffered a lot.

"Grandma said that you are my uncle, and your name is Chen Jianghe!"

The child's voice was tender and crisp, but it made the person who was still recuperating in bed burst into tears.

Chen Jianghe's eyes were a little red, and he blinked hard again. A real man sheds blood and sweat, not tears.

He patted the child on the head and said, "Okay, okay, grandma is right, I am your uncle, what is your name?"

When the child saw that Chen Jianghe finally admitted his identity, his eyes lit up.

"I'm Duoduo, uncle. Duoduo is already three years old after the Chinese New Year."

The child stretched out three fingers, innocently showing off that despite his young age, he could already help with many chores at home.

Think about it, in the blue planet of the 21st century, children under the age of three are still being loved and cherished by their parents.

It is the environment that shapes people and also affects their growth.

"Duoduo has grown so big, that's great!"

According to the memory of his original body, his mother left the city of Sijiu around June 56.

My sister wrote to me shortly after she gave birth.

Calculated, Xiao Duoduo's birthday should be in May.

The Chinese New Year has just passed and it is only February in the lunar calendar, which means she is still a few months away from turning three!

Oh my god! What can a two-year-old do! It's not even as high as the table...

All we can say is that suffering makes children become precocious.

Mother Chen looked at the uncle and nephew with a smile, feeling as if she were dreaming.

"Okay Duoduo, from now on you will be responsible for taking care of grandma, and your uncle will be responsible for cooking, okay?"

Chen Jianghe reached into his pocket and took out two pieces of Mickey Mouse candies and stuffed them into Duoduo's hand.

Where have the rural children seen this?

Xiao Duoduo looked at the two candies in her hand and intuitively felt that they were edible because they tasted very sweet.

He asked in surprise: "Uncle, is this edible?"

“Of course you can eat it!”

"This is milk candy, which can replenish the body's protein and sugar. You and grandma can each have one. If it's not enough, uncle has more."

Chen Jianghe simply grabbed a handful of candy and stuffed it into the child's pocket.

It’s so tragic that his child has never eaten toffee!

Now that he is here, his little Duoduo must have what other children have too!

In fact, many rural children have never seen something like milk candy. In their eyes, the candy that can be used as a snack is something called maltose, which is two small sticks wrapped together.

Well, many rural children had never seen malt sugar. At that time, they had no money to buy it, let alone something that couldn’t fill their stomachs!

"Wow! That's a lot of candies! Thank you, uncle!"

Xiao Duoduo was so happy that she quickly ran to the bed and carefully peeled one.

"Grandma, eat some candy and you'll get better soon."

Seeing that his mother did not refuse to eat, Chen Jianghe went to the yard with peace of mind.

Got to prepare breakfast.

Pathologically, edema is caused by long-term starvation, which leads to an extreme lack of protein in the body. Without protein, it is difficult to produce substances with colloidal osmotic pressure.

It is difficult for water to transfer from tissues to plasma and then be excreted from the body. Excess water accumulates locally or throughout the human body, eventually causing edema.

To put it bluntly, it is a lack of nutrition.

It is actually simple to solve this situation. While supplementing nutrition, let the patient act as a diuretic. As long as the excess water is discharged, the person will slowly recover.

Chen Jianghe searched around the kitchen and found a dark pit left on the stove where the big pot was originally placed.

Not to mention a pot, there isn't even a shovel in this house.

Now it is difficult for a good cook to cook without a pot.

Chen Jianghe knew that it must be to support the large-scale construction, so everyone contributed their pots.

Even if I borrow from someone else, the result will be the same. There is no big pot or small pot.

He does have a casserole in his space, so he doesn't have to worry about it being requisitioned.

but.

Who would carry a clay pot when traveling far away? This doesn't make sense.

You can't say that I'm sick and need to make medicine anytime and anywhere...

That makes sense, it depends on what the disease is.

Finally, to be on the safe side, Chen Jianghe took out an enamel pot.

That’s right, it’s that big jar that’s similar to a small pot but deeper and coated with a layer of inorganic glass.

This thing only started mass production in 58, and it hasn't become popular in many places yet.

Since Sijiucheng is a central city, the products are already on the shelves in department stores.

Of course, the one in Chen Jianghe's hand was not bought. As usual, he had to work hard to have enough food and clothing.

With just one command, his system space can provide him with an enamelware pot with a pattern that suits this era.

Anyway, the villagers have never seen the things on the shelves, so they are not afraid even if someone sees them.

He has a letter of introduction and a certificate from his employer, so he is a formal worker.

Chen Jianghe prepared the millet porridge and brown sugar in advance, mixed them and poured them into the enamel jar, and also added some Shuhua milk.

After taking out the enamel pot from the bag, he lit some dry firewood and slightly toasted the bottom.

Although there is no need to continue external heating, the process still needs to be completed.

After leaving the kitchen, he cooked porridge with dry firewood in an enamel pot.

Fortunately, there were still a few large coarse porcelain bowls and chopsticks made from tree branches in the Zhao family’s kitchen.

Chen Jianghe returned to the main house carrying an enamel jar with a burnt bottom and three coarse porcelain bowls.

The sensible Duoduo has continued to add dry firewood to the fire, this time it is the dead branches that can be found everywhere.

"It's time to eat!"

After pouring out three bowls of sweet millet, milk and brown sugar porridge, Chen Jianghe took out four steaming bowls of white noodles from his bag and asked if they were heated in an enamel pot.

"Wow! There's even white flour to eat! My uncle is so awesome!"

Duoduo, who is almost three years old, only ate white flour with her grandma in the village last year. Today is the second time!

After arranging for Duoduo to eat, Chen Jianghe fed his mother.

However, he only gave his mother half a bowl of flour and a bowl of porridge, while Xiao Duoduo got half a bowl of flour and a small bowl of porridge.

The rest all goes into his own stomach. Men need to eat more to have the strength to work!

The actual situation is that for people who are in a state of hunger for a long time, they must eat small amounts and then gradually increase their food intake after their stomach adapts.

Otherwise, it is easy to die from bloating because the stomach and intestines cannot adapt to the sudden fullness!

Chen Jianghe did not go out for the whole morning and stayed at home to take care of the elderly, the weak and the sick.

Fortunately, some weeds had grown near the pile of rubbish near the south wall of the Zhao family, and they were not cleared during the winter.

Among them are the tenacious Artemisia capillaris and the withered Plantago asiatica.

Just wash it and boil it in water to drink. It is an excellent medicinal ingredient for diuresis, swelling and inflammation.

Or it’s an enamel pot, just boil water in it.

Both the old and the child were fed bowl after bowl of bitter medicine soup. Fortunately, there was candy to sweeten Duoduo's mouth, so she didn't spit it out.

Chen Jianghe euphemistically calls it "good medicine that tastes bitter but is good for the disease."

With the help of nutritional supplements and Chinese herbal medicine.

Chen Jianghe's mother's condition has visibly improved, and even little Duoduo is more energetic.

He planned to rush back to Sijiu City tomorrow, so he had to control his mother's condition as soon as possible.

By noon, Chen's mother could speak normally and even move her hands and feet within a small range, but she still could not walk.

This is pretty good, at least there is no danger to life.

At the same time, the mystery that has troubled Chen Jianghe for a long time is finally solved!
