After a few more days of experimentation, Su Qiuyue was finally able to make a similar amount of plaster according to the proportions recorded by her grandfather.

Xinyue has also become skilled at applying the plaster on the cut plaster cloth on a rack in a cool place every day, and then placing it on the rack to cool.

Before they cool completely, place wax paper on top to isolate them.

The stack was tied up and placed in a wooden box made by my cousin.

"Blood-activating Plaster" is written on the wooden box, and the plasters are neatly arranged inside.

There are several such wooden boxes, stacked together and placed next to the cabinet for easy access later.

Su Qiuyue was familiar with making the blood-activating plaster, so she made some more.

I stopped using it for a few days only after I finally mastered the recipe.

"Sister, are you not going to endure it anymore in the future?" Xinyue watched her sister copy several pages of paper she had written before into a notebook, and then took out a very old book and an old notebook to look through them.

"Of course I have to make it. The medicine is not enough. I want to make some Sanfu ointment as a backup." Su Qiuyue was looking through the ointment prescription.

"Then are you going to town?" Xinyue asked. She had already started school and was in the fifth grade.

She will be going to middle school in a year and won't be able to go out and play anymore. Fortunately, her cousin Xu Hua is with her.

"I'm not going to town. I don't have any money to spend. I'm going to the mountains to collect herbs." Su Qiuyue carefully put away all the records.

"The mountain? Can I go?" Su Xinyue asked. Although the brigade also had a mountain and she had gone down the mountain to chop firewood, she had never been up there.

"No." Su Qiuyue refused flatly.

"Why?" Su Xinyue said unhappily.

"I have to go to Shanghe Village and ask the mountain runner to take me there.

Do you think I can go by myself?

Besides, you're not going to school? I'll have to stay there for a long time." Su Qiuyue said.

When she heard that she would have to stay for several days and the journey was so far, Su Xinyue knew that she couldn't go, so she could only pout and go to play.

"Hey? Why hasn't my second cousin come over recently?" Su Qiuyue suddenly remembered that she hadn't seen her second cousin come over for a long time.

"Our house smells so bad that not only my second cousin, but even Da Huang runs away every day." Su Xinyue said as a matter of course.

Su Qiuyue thought about it and agreed.

"Is the hygienist home?"

Su Qiuyue was talking to her sister when someone shouted outside the door.

"At home!" Su Qiuyue shouted and quickly got up to open the door.

The couple who came were a mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law holding a child.

The child's eyes are still wet.

"What's the matter?" Su Qiuyue asked hurriedly after leading the person into the house.

"It's already spring, and the children don't have much good food to eat, so I fried a sticky bean bun for them with animal oil the night before yesterday.

Who knew that the child started having diarrhea early yesterday morning.

I knew I had something bad to eat, so I thought I could just stop eating. But I didn’t expect that I would have diarrhea after eating anything.

The child cried loudly at night because of diarrhea, and today he cried even harder.

Your asshole must be broken! We tried it at home, but it didn’t work, so we came to find you right away.”

The child’s grandmother quickly explained the situation.

The child is over one year old. He has diarrhea and his face looks bad. His mouth has even turned a little pale.

"Did you give the child some water?" Su Qiuyue asked, looking at the child's obviously dry mouth.

"He drank it, but he had diarrhea after drinking it, so he stopped drinking," said the child's mother.

"Let me take a look at the child's butt." Su Qiuyue said.

The child's mother let the child lie on her legs, and the grandmother went over to take off the diaper ring that was clamped on the child's buttocks, and then helped to spread the child's buttocks.

The child suddenly burst into tears and struggled.

Su Qiuyue took a quick look and quickly asked them to comfort the child.

"What's in the asshole?" Su Qiuyue took a look and felt something in her butt.

"Stove pit soil, what is this thing for? The child's butt is all wet, because he cried, so I thought of applying some. It won't hurt anymore." said the child's grandmother.

Su Qiuyue sighed.

The stove pit soil is actually the loess inside the stove furnace.

Because it is on the inner wall of the stove and is burned at high temperatures all year round, the soil there is particularly dry and hard.

After being ground into powder, it becomes dense and fine. In the past, if someone was injured and the wound was oozing pus or water, they would put the soil from the stove pit on it. It could absorb the pus from the wound and was sterile.

But it is not applicable to this child's situation, and it is a folk remedy that has no other choice due to the lack of medical care and medicine.

Su Qiuyue quickly brought a spittoon, and she scalded the bowl with boiling water, then poured the boiling water into it and left it there to cool.

Then take out a handful of burnt rice and throw it into the clay pot to cook.

"Xinyue, keep an eye on it and tell me when it opens." Su Qiuyue instructed her sister.

Then he went into the house and touched the water bowl. Only when it had warmed up did he go back into the house and let the mother hold the child.

She rinsed the child's little butt with clean water in the bowl.

After rinsing, just wait for it to dry.

"Don't use stove pit soil next time. The child is already dehydrated from defecation, and if you use stove pit soil again, it will only make the child more painful." Su Qiuyue said.

"Ah? We can't use soil from the stove pit." The child's grandmother said in surprise. In fact, they didn't understand it either, but they couldn't bear to see the child suffer if they didn't do something about it.

Unexpectedly, it broke.

After the child's butt was dry, Su Qiuyue went to get the sesame oil at home, poured a little on a small iron spoon, and put it on the stove to heat it.

When the sesame oil started to bubble, I took the spoon away with a rag and let it cool down.

Then she picked out a small piece from a small basket filled with cotton pads, soaked it in hot sesame oil, and then clamped it around the child's anus, and then asked them to hold the child and not drop him.

"Next time, apply some sesame oil to the child. If you don't have any Gala oil for rubbing your hands, then that will do. If you still don't have any, then a little bit of animal oil will do.

Just don't do it again, the child will suffer if you do it the wrong way." Su Qiuyue said.

When the baby's mother and grandmother noticed that the baby didn't cry at all, they knew that the baby was no longer in pain. Then they nodded, realizing that they had done it the wrong way.

"Sister, it's done." Xinyue shouted in the kitchen.

Su Qiuyue hurried over and poured out the cooked scorched rice soup.

Then he brought the drink into the house and gave it to the child's grandmother, asking her to let it cool down slowly before giving it to the child to drink.

"A child's mouth should not be left dry like this, even if he or she drinks less water today, as this will cause dehydration.

Next time, give your child some warm water and add some sugar and salt to the warm water, just a little bit will be fine.

You see the child looks pale, lacks energy and looks wilted. This is dehydration.

I said you don't understand, anyway, dehydration is very serious, you have to give your child water with salt and sugar in time, just a little bit. Too much is not good either.

This is scorched rice water. I will tell you how to make scorched rice later.

Usually, it can be cooked into porridge with other rice in a 1:1 ratio. It can regulate the spleen and stomach and aid digestion.

Today I use scorched rice to boil water. I don’t eat the rice grains, just drink the rice soup, which is the best way to stop diarrhea.

I'll give you another handful later. Don't make a mistake. If you have diarrhea again, drink it again and you should be fine." Su Qiuyue explained it to them in detail.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law nodded.

Scorched rice has a special rice aroma. The child has not eaten anything for a day and a night, and has not had any water for a long time.

As soon as he smelled the burnt rice water, he smacked his lips and drank half a bowl of water in a few gulps.

Seeing that the child drank the liquid and the diaper under his butt was not wet, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were really relieved.

This hygienist is really good.

"Well, this, this has sesame oil and burnt rice, how much is it?" The child's grandmother waited for a while and saw that the child didn't want to poop anymore, so she asked how much it cost.

"Aunt, don't worry about the money. It's not a big problem. I just happen to have some at home.

I'll charge you next time you use the medicine." Su Qiuyue waved her hand.

It's not that she is generous, it's the rule that both grandpa and dad follow as doctors.

Children’s illnesses that are not serious are free of charge.

"That's so embarrassing." The child's grandmother was a little surprised. She didn't expect that she didn't need to pay for all the work she did. The sesame oil and scorched rice cost money.

"It's really okay, I made the scorched rice for my sister.

There is only one or two drops of sesame oil, if there is none, I will have to scoop out meat oil." Su Qiuyue said with a smile.

It's really not a generous gift, there is really such a rule.

If you need to take medicine, you still have to collect it.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law thanked him again and again before taking the child back.

This was her first patient, and although he was a minor, it was still considered an opening.

Su Qiuyue was quite happy. She was humming a song while cleaning up, and Xinyue also laughed along.

Su Qiuyue prepared at home for two days and then went to the team leader to get a letter of introduction.

She was only sixteen after the Chinese New Year, and it was not safe for a little girl to go to Shanghe Village.

So she was asked to find someone to go with her, but Su Qiuyue thought about it and still couldn't figure out who to find.

My cousin is already eighteen years old and can earn seven work points a day, but of course this is not much.

"Sister, why don't you go find Zhang Chunsheng." Xinyue suggested as she saw her sister getting upset at home.

It won't delay the team's work, and he's just a grown-up boy.

"Him?" Su Qiuyue asked.

“Brother Chunsheng is quite good, he is better than you, but he can’t get full work points.

Besides, the brigade doesn't give him any good work. Going with you won't delay the brigade's work." Su Xinyue explained to her.

"Oh, you're right. You're really good, little girl." Su Qiuyue really had a new respect for her sister.

"I'm so awesome!" Su Xinyue felt like she was being looked down upon.

Every day when I was with Sister Xu Hua, I spent most of my time running around and listening to the aunties and sisters in the team chatting. The more I listened, the more I knew.

Xu Hua is still a tomboy, and Su Xinyue is well-informed about the gossips of other people and the fights between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Su Qiuyue didn’t know whether it was good or bad, but as long as she was happy, it was fine as long as the person didn’t do anything wrong.

Su Qiuyue went to talk to the captain, and the captain agreed with a wave of his hand.

The team leader agreed, and Su Qiuyue asked Xu Hua and her sister to tell Zhang Chunsheng that they were going to Shanghe Village with her.

"Sister, please, can you ask my eldest cousin and cousin Xu Hua to come?

I don’t want my second cousin to come.” Su Xinyue twisted her body and acted coquettishly with her sister at home.

"How can I stop my second cousin from coming? She came to take care of you with good intentions, but you are disgusted with her." Su Qiuyue was thinking about the things to prepare and had not yet decided how to arrange her sister. When she heard that the team leader agreed to let Zhang Chunsheng go with her, she came over.

"No, I don't want it." Su Xinyue lay on the table and acted like a spoiled child.

"Why?" Su Qiuyue didn't understand why she was so unwilling.

"It's not that my second cousin is bad, it's just that I feel a little awkward, in an indescribable way." Su Xinyue said unhappily.

"Also, she always comes alone, never bringing Sister Xu Hua with her. It's also okay if she brings her cousin. It's so awkward." Xinyue muttered.

"Yeah, then what is the point of her coming to accompany you? Are you two just staring at each other?" Su Qiuyue asked.

Because she was away from home and didn't know the specific situation at home, her second cousin came over to talk to her before, but she had nothing to say after just a few words.

"It's just staring at each other! How awkward! It's even more awkward that she still comes." Su Xinyue sat up straight at once. It was really an unpleasant experience.

This time my sister said she would be away for several days, which is too scary to think about.

"No chatting? Not even a word?" Su Qiuyue didn't believe it.

"We can only chat for a sentence or two and then stop.

Ask me what I am studying? Ask me what I do at home and what I eat at home.

It's the same questions over and over again. What can I say? If I say something, she'll ask again. If I have nothing to say, I'll just stay there. "Su Xinyue said.

"Stay for a day?" Su Qiuyue also frowned. She was not feeling well either. What was the point of asking what the family ate and used?

"During the day, Sister Xu Hua and Xiao Ling can come and play with me, but my second cousin goes home to do chores. She comes over at night to heat the kang and cook, and they can chat for a few minutes. If she has nothing to say, she goes straight to bed." Xinyue said.

"It would be great if my cousin came, and she could bring Sister Xu Hua or Xiao Ling to sleep with us at night.

She also brought chores from home, and when she was bored she asked us to read those books to her, and she would talk to us from time to time, which was really fun." Su Xinyue said.

"What are you talking about? Let me hear it." Su Qiuyue didn't know what her second cousin meant, but she probably wouldn't harm them.

"Last time, when they asked me to read the story of the Chopping of a Beauty to them, Sister Xu Hua was so angry that she said the man should not have a good death. But my eldest cousin asked, why did the woman wait at home for so many years?

If it were her, she would take the children and remarry when the news of his death came back, no matter whether he was dead for real or fake.

Sister Xu Hua also said, didn’t they say Qin Xianglian was loyal? How can she be loyal after remarrying?!

My eldest cousin said that loyalty is bullshit, and raising children and living a real life is the real thing.

Then the two of them started arguing, and then Sister Xu Hua was beaten by her eldest cousin." Su Xinyue wanted to laugh when she thought about it, Sister Xu Hua was just stubborn and insisted on arguing, so she got beaten for nothing.

Su Qiuyue also laughed when she heard this. Her cousin had no romantic thoughts in her heart.

She is a bit overbearing towards her own children. If Xu Hua dares to have any ideas that she dislikes, she will definitely beat her.

"What do you think? How about Qin Xianglian?" Su Qiuyue asked her sister.

"Me? I don't know. Anyway, I don't want to be Qin Xianglian." Su Xinyue didn't think much about it.

"What if we meet?" Su Qiuyue asked.

"Have you encountered this? Divorce? My eldest cousin said that everyone knows that this is a very unlucky person, and it would be crazy to keep him for the New Year." Su Xinyue said after thinking for a while.

"Hahahaha, cousin is right." Su Qiuyue couldn't help laughing when she heard her imitating her cousin's tone.

"I also think what my cousin said is right. My cousin said that if you have that much skill, you can have many children and grandchildren." Su Xinyue said loudly.

Now Su Qiuyue couldn't stop smiling. It was no wonder that Xinyue liked her cousin, she liked her too.

He thinks everything through thoroughly and never gets stuck in a rut.

"Sister, you've laughed enough. Go and ask your eldest cousin to come, but don't ask your second cousin to come." Su Xinyue had laughed enough and remembered the important matter.

"I understand." Su Qiuyue sighed. How should she explain this?
