Grandpa Su hurriedly took a step forward, his tone anxious: "How is my dear baby?"
Li Mingcai was used to Grandpa Su always saying that his grandchildren were brats and his granddaughter was a good boy.
There are many elders in the village who are partial to others, but this one is partial to their granddaughter!
"I'll make a prescription and take a couple of meals and then we'll see. If the fever can go down, it won't be a big deal. From now on, you have to be very careful. My little daughter is delicate and must not catch cold again. If she catches cold again, it will be serious.
Already."
Li Mingcai walked to the table, solemnly took out a pen and a piece of paper and started writing the prescription.
The adults in the room stared at the pen in Li Mingcai's hand, as if they could see the flowers.
Those who don’t know just assume that the entire Su family is literate. In fact, except for the grandchildren, none of the elders in the family can read.
"Doctor Li, will you feel better after eating it?" Grandma Su asked nervously when she finally saw Dr. Li put down his pen.
"If you check it in time, you can take medicine and sleep for a day and the fever will be gone. If it doesn't go away, I will make a new prescription."
Hearing what the doctor said, the whole family was still nervous. Can the fever go away?
"Who will come with me to get some medicine?" Dr. Li asked as he stood up after packing up the paper, pen and medical kit.
"Doctor Li, I'm going."
It was Uncle Su who spoke, with an anxious look on his face, even more anxious than his own father.
"Boss, bring the money for the medicine." Grandma Su hurriedly took out a few dimes from her pocket.
"Thirty-five cents!" Li Mingcai said and walked out of the house.
"Hey! Got it, Doctor Li." Uncle Su responded and took the money from my mother's hand and chased her out.
After the doctor left, several half-grown men wanted to come in to see their sister, but Grandma Su refused and resolutely drove the group of half-grown men out.
"The third brother's family is guarding. The oldest family's family, you can stew some millet porridge for the sweet girl. It's soft and rotten, and let her drink it when she takes medicine. The second family's family, you can find our medicine jar, clean it and wait.
I'll make some medicine for my dear baby. Second child, stop watching and go get firewood. Third child, go find something to do on your own and don't block the way here. Old man... forget it, just watch.
Bar!"
Grandma Su quickly ordered the reluctant people out, even Su Xiaotian's biological father was not spared.
Everyone went out and the room became completely quiet.
Su Xiaotian felt warm in her heart after seeing it, nestled in her mother's warm arms, and fell asleep unconsciously.
I don’t know how long it took, but Su Xiaotian was woken up by Grandma Su.
Grandma Su sat on the kang with a loving look on her face, holding a coarse porcelain bowl in her hand.
"Milk!" Su Xiaotian shouted.
"My dear, let's eat some porridge and then take the medicine before going to bed."
In her last life, Su Xiaotian injured her body by falling into the water, and later she ate an unknown amount of bitter medicinal juice.
In order to maintain good health in the future, although she was not willing to take the hard Chinese medicine, she still frowned and took the medicine in one breath.
That cute look made Grandma Su's heart melt.
Grandma Su took out a candy from somewhere and put it in Su Xiaotian's mouth with a smile.
Chinese medicine is very bitter, but Su Xiaotian feels it is sweet to the core.
Under the care of Grandma Su and Liang Xiu, Su Xiaotian quickly fell asleep again after taking the medicine.
When she woke up again, the sky was bright and Su Xiaotian felt refreshed.
She recovered like this the next day, which was much better than the situation in her previous life. In her previous life, she had to lie on the kang for ten days before she could stand up.
Su Xiaotian felt relieved a lot.
Grandma Su was worried about her granddaughter, so she slept next to Su Xiaotian.
As soon as she turned over, Grandma Su woke up.
"My dear, what's wrong? Are you feeling better?" Grandma Su said eagerly. While talking, she stretched out her hand to touch Su Xiaotian's forehead.
"Milk, I'm fine!" Su Xiaotian hugged Grandma Su and said coquettishly, blinking her big black and white eyes.
"That's good, don't go out today and get some sleep." Grandma Su immediately pulled the quilt and said to Su Xiaotian with concern.
When people are in a hurry, Su Xiaotian couldn't hold on any longer. She blushed and said to Grandma Su: "Mistress, I have to go to the toilet."
"I'm going to get you a toilet, but you can't go out. What will you do if you get cold again?"
Grandma Su immediately objected as if facing a formidable enemy.
If it was really a child, Su Xiaotian might have agreed.
But Su Xiaotian is an adult at heart, so of course she cannot agree.
After insisting on it and saying many nice things, Su Xiaotian went to the toilet to solve her physical problem.
The refreshed Su Xiaotian stood in the large courtyard, raising her little face and looking at the blue sky.
The morning sun shines in the yard, and the mottled golden light under the sycamore trees is almost charming to the eyes.
It's really beautiful!
People in the Su family are very hard-working and get up early to work.
When they saw Su Xiaotian going out, they stopped what they were doing and crowded around her, asking with concern whether she was feeling well, whether she was still faint, whether she was hungry, whether she was thirsty, and so on.
Su Xiaotian answered with a sweet smile and said that she was fine.
Such an atmosphere made Su Xiaotian very warm and comfortable.
Although the conditions at home were poor, she had never been wronged.
She was well fed and well-dressed, and her clothes were the only ones in the family that were not patched.
Su Xiaotian felt sad when she thought about how her family was not well fed or clothed.
She wants to find a way to change the conditions at home so that her grandparents and parents can eat white flour, rice and eggs.
However, this year is only 1974, and the market economy is still many years away, so it is difficult to get rich.
At this time, people were working in a large collective and participated in labor in exchange for work points every day under the unified arrangement of the team leader. There was no other way to make money.
Su Xiaotian then thought of her system.
The appearance of the system will definitely bring you surprises, and perhaps it will be a weapon to make a fortune.
She couldn't wait to study it, but breakfast was already prepared and she was about to eat.
Everyone in the family had to go to work after breakfast, even the eldest and second brothers had to go. As for the other brothers and her, they had to go to school.
Let's eat first. After eating, I guess I won't let her go to school today. She happens to be secretly studying the system at home.
The old Su family always eats in the main room.
After a simple wash, Su Xiaotian rejected Grandma Su's idea of letting her eat alone in the cubicle and went to the main room.
There is a table on the Kang in the main room, which is the table for the elders, and there is also a table on the ground floor, which is where the nine boys are.
Su Xiaotian's seat is next to Grandma Su at the adults' table.
"My dear, come here." Grandma Su kindly called Su Xiaotian over.
Lao Su's family has a large population, and they are all at the age when the old man is living in poverty, so there is not enough food every year.
All year round, breakfast is multigrain noodle soup, and lunch and dinner are vegetable dumplings.
It was the same today. The eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law were carrying basins, and each table was filled with vegetable soup mixed with cornmeal, which was clear and watery.
The third daughter-in-law walked in with her two sisters-in-law, holding a large pile of coarse porcelain bowls.
