Siheyuan: Bringing Warehouses to 1959

Zeng Youhuo rode along the river bank, but he didn't dare to ride fast for fear of missing people. He shouted the names of Zeng Wangcai and others while riding. He had to shout as there were too many people by the river.

At this time, Zeng Wangcai had just "caught" a fish, while Zhang Xiuzhi had stopped fishing and was preparing to make a fire to cook.

"Hey, that's my second uncle. He's calling us. Why is he here?" Zhang Xiuzhi heard the call, looked up and saw Zeng Youhuo on the river bank, and quickly stood up and answered, "Second uncle, second uncle, we are here..."

When Zeng Wangcai and others heard it, they turned around and saw Zeng Youhuo parked his bicycle on the river bank and ran down in a hurry.

Someone who shouldn't have been here at this time showed up. It was obvious that something had happened, and it was something big.

Zeng Wangcai quickly put away his fishing rod and ran over: "What's wrong, uncle?"

Xiaohu, Xiaobao and the others also came over, and Zeng Youhuo ran so fast that he was a little out of breath.

"Hu..., Wangcai, hurry... back to the village, grandma..." Zeng You spoke without even catching his breath, his face turning purple.

Xiao Bao's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously asked, "Dad, what happened to grandma? Is she dying?"

This child, although he had no bad intentions, was just in a hurry and didn't realize that he had said the wrong thing.

Zeng You was so angry that he couldn't control himself: "You stupid kid, do you know how to talk? You're such a badass, I'll kick you to death, your grandmother won't be able to hold back..."

It actually went smoothly!

Zeng Youhuo raised his foot and kicked. Xiaobao realized that he was wrong, so he squatted down skillfully and honestly, and raised his buttocks for his father to kick. If he was wrong, he would be beaten and not run away, unless the beating was too hard. This was their family tradition. The flesh on his buttocks was thick, so a few kicks would be fine.

Zeng Wangcai’s mind was suddenly confused. Aren’t you and your son talking about... grandma?

Also, shouldn't we make things clear at this time?

He held Zeng Youhuo back and said, "Uncle, don't fight. Let's talk first, and then we can fight. I'll help you play doubles."

“???” Little Leopard felt loveless instantly.

"Grandma is sick and has severe diarrhea. You should go back quickly..." Zeng Youhuo said.

"Grandma is sick?" Zeng Wangcai was shocked. "Grandma is sick, take her to the clinic, no, take her to the hospital. Why did you come to see me? What's wrong with grandma? Is it serious?"

He was really anxious, because his grandma loved him more than his parents.

"She had diarrhea. It started last night and it was quite serious. She couldn't even walk and had to get up more than ten times a night. Later, I asked Li Baotian to see her. He used a folk remedy and she felt better. But Li Baotian said it would be best to send her to the hospital. Your grandma refused, so I came to you as I had no other choice. You are the only one in the family who can speak well to grandma." Zeng Youhuo briefly recounted the story of his grandmother's illness.

More than ten trips a night is too much for even a young and strong man, let alone an old man.

That’s fortunately that grandma is in good health and has been well taken care of by Zeng Wangcai with delicious food recently, otherwise who knows what might have happened.

"Why is he suffering from diarrhea when he is fine?" Zeng Wangcai was puzzled. "Isn't our village an advanced village in sanitation? Is there anyone else suffering from diarrhea?"

He first suspected that his grandmother's diarrhea was not an isolated incident, because the current hygiene and medical conditions are not ideal, especially in rural areas, where many places are dirty and messy.

But Zengzhuang is not bad, and Li Baotian, the barefoot doctor, has made an indispensable contribution. Since the outbreak of schistosomiasis last year, Li Baotian has cooperated with Zeng Laosan to rectify the sanitation conditions in the village. They are very strict. Drinking raw water and urinating and defecating anywhere are routine requirements. Zeng Laosan also set up an inspection team, which goes to the villagers' homes every now and then to check the hygiene. If there is any non-compliance, the woman of that family will be dragged out and scolded.

In later times, this would be considered a violation of human rights, and a lot of people would curse at it on the Internet, just like the fine standards issued by the village committee. But if you have experienced epidemic diseases such as schistosomiasis and cholera, you would know that sanitary diseases really harm both others and yourself.

Zeng Youhuo said that no one else in the village had diarrhea, only grandma.

This basically rules out the epidemic factor. Zeng Wangcai vaguely remembers that cholera is not yet called the number two disease. It was not until the 1980s that it was called that. Moreover, there has been no cholera epidemic in the country in the past 10 to 20 years.

However, even if it is not cholera, acute diarrhea in the elderly should not be underestimated.

After just a few words of conversation, the three old men understood what had happened in Zeng Wangcai's family. They stopped talking and came over to show their concern.

Old Man Liu reminded: "Besides diarrhea, does the old man have any other problems, such as blood pressure?"

"Blood pressure?" Zeng Youhuo looked confused.

Zeng Wangcai understood that Old Man Liu was worried about whether grandma had any underlying diseases. Nowadays, people in the city may not care about this, let alone people in the countryside.

He secretly blamed himself for neglecting to care about his family's health and only caring about having enough food and clothing. He did not fully agree with what later generations thought, that the three highs were not common in this era.

Indeed, there are two main reasons why the three highs are not present nowadays. The first reason is the lack of inspection and statistics. No statistics means nothing. The second reason is the problem of eating. The three highs are closely related to diet, which is heavy in oil and salt. But people nowadays don’t have any oil. If mosquitoes want to drink the fat in the blood vessels, they have to go to find cattle and sheep. Most people don’t have oil on their stomachs, let alone in the blood.

"I don't know, I haven't checked it!" Zeng Wangcai replied, "But grandma is in good health and doesn't have any dizziness or chest tightness. She shouldn't have high blood pressure or high blood lipids."

Although my grandmother is old, she has never stopped working. She works every day. She helps with chores at home during the day and does needlework and housework when she has free time. She has never been idle in her life.

"We still need to see a doctor. Let's go to the hospital!" Old Man Liu said with concern, "Go back quickly and persuade the old man. The old man likes his grandson. Your words are effective!"

"I know, I'll go back right away." Zeng Wangcai didn't dare to delay and didn't ask any more questions. The moment just now had already wasted a few minutes.

He called Lin Huyang: "Yangzi, the rest of the things are up to you, we'll talk later!"

"Don't worry, go ahead. Which hospital are you going to? I'll come find you later."

"Let's go to Concord, it's more convenient there!"

Zeng Wangcai naturally didn't want to be polite and prepared to leave, but Zhang Xiuzhi was even more straightforward. She had already carried her bicycle and walked towards the river bank. Zeng Wangcai hurriedly chased after her.

This place is dozens of miles away from the village, and it would take a long time even if you ride a bicycle. Zeng Wangcai came up with the idea of ​​taking the car out of the space. For the sake of his grandmother, he could not care less, so he just sliced ​​it up...

But at this time, Old Man Liu and three other people followed them up to the river bank and called out to Zeng Wangcai.

"Your hometown is Zengzhuang, right?" Old Man Liu did not hide the fact that he had investigated Zeng Wangcai, and said bluntly, "It's a bit far there, and you guys ride too slowly. How about this, I'll ask the driver to take you there. Don't worry, the old man should be fine."

Zeng Wangcai was overjoyed. Although he also thought that grandma’s problem would not be too serious, he was still worried and anxious.

Faced with Old Man Liu's kindness, Zeng Wangcai naturally would not refuse at this time.

Old man Liu waved towards the distance. It turned out that the three of them were worried about causing any impact, so they asked the guards and the driver to stay far away and parked the car on the other side of the river bank.

The guard came over and learned of Old Man Liu's request. He ran over to find the driver, and soon a military green jeep drove up the river bank.
