After Tao Qiqi and the others settled the horses, they brought some grain and two pieces of bacon to the old man.
"Sorry to bother you. This is a little bit of our kindness, please accept it." After Nangong Ye finished speaking, Tao Qiqi handed the things over.
When the old man saw that there was food and meat, he immediately waved his hand and refused: "No need, no need. It's just a one-night stay. It just so happened that my youngest son took his wife and children back to his parents' home these few days, and their
Even if the room is empty, it's still empty, as long as you don't dislike it."
"As long as we have a place to rest, don't you mind it? These are our wishes. Sir, you'd better accept them, otherwise we will be very embarrassed."
After Tao Qiqi finished speaking, just when the old man was about to refuse again, another old man on the side smiled and persuaded: "Just accept the wishes of these young masters. From the first look, they must not have had dinner yet. They will cook in a while.
Put in more rice and cook two more dishes."
The old man knew she was the old man's wife at first sight.
With his wife's persuasion, the old man had no choice but to accept what Tao Qiqi handed over.
"Okay, then we'll accept it, and I'll give you two more dishes at a time."
After the old man finished speaking, Fang Yu behind him hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I will cook tonight and we will all eat together later. We will prepare the food."
Upon hearing this, the old man began to refuse again: "How embarrassing is this?"
Fang Yu smiled and replied: "It doesn't matter. There are many of us, there are many men, and we have big appetites. It's only right that we cook."
After saying that, Fang Yu took out the food and vegetables he planned to cook tonight from the carriage.
This operation of hers made the old man seem a bit pretentious if he refused, so he had no choice but to arrange for his daughter-in-law embarrassedly: "Old lady, then you go and help me, light the fire or something."
The old man smiled and responded: "Okay, I'll help light the fire."
As he said that, the old man led Fang Yu to the kitchen.
Tao Qiqi originally wanted to go over and help. After all, there were a lot of people going to eat tonight.
In the end, Chang Wu took her job away.
"Mr. Tao, you made lunch at noon. Let me and Xiaoyu make dinner in the evening. You can go and rest."
After saying that, Chang Wu slipped into the kitchen without giving Tao Qiqi a chance to speak.
Seeing this, Tao Qiqi shook her head helplessly, and then let Chang Wu do what she wanted.
The old man asked his eldest son to make a pot of tea, and then everyone chatted and drank tea in the yard to rest.
During the chat, everyone learned that this person’s surname was Luo and he was the head of Yunxi Village.
The village chief has two sons and one daughter.
The eldest son's name is Luo Yang, the second son's name is Luo Heng, and the youngest daughter's name is Luo Juan.
Because Village Chief Luo attended private school for one and a half years when he was young, he gave his children much nicer names than Pillars, Stones, etc.
In addition, the eldest son of the Dafang family, Luo Jinglin, is currently 13 years old. He is attending a private school in the county and his grades are pretty good. He has now obtained the status of a child student and is preparing for the scientific examination next year. The younger son's name is Luo Xiaoyu.
…………
After getting to know Village Chief Luo's family members, Tao Qiqi didn't see Luo Xiaoyu, the youngest son of the Dafang family, so she accidentally asked: "Then why don't you see Xiaoyu? Isn't he at home either?"
As a result, as soon as Tao Qiqi said these words, the smile on the Luo family's eldest daughter-in-law's face immediately dropped.
Upon seeing this, Tao Qiqi knew that she had said the wrong thing, and was about to apologize, but Boss Luo explained: "I'm sick. I can't get out of bed for the past two days, so I'm resting in the room."
After hearing Boss Luo's explanation, Tao Qiqi finally understood, and asked with concern: "Have you seen the doctor yet?"
"I saw it, but the doctor can't tell what's going on with his condition."
"Um, I'm also a doctor. Can you let me go and take a look?"
After Tao Qiqi finished speaking, Boss Luo's expression did not change much. He just said slowly: "If you don't dislike it, I will trouble you."
After saying that, Mr. Luo stood up and led Tao Qiqi to their room.
Luo Xiaoyu was lying on the bed, obviously asleep, but he woke up when he heard footsteps.
When he saw it was his father, he shouted weakly: "Dad."
"Xiaoyu, how are you feeling now?" Boss Luo looked at his youngest son and asked with concern.
Tao Qiqi quietly took Luo Xiaoyu's hand and began to feel her pulse.
Xiaoyu was very brave, forced himself to smile, and then replied: "Dad, I'm much better, maybe I'll be fine in two days."
Boss Luo replied happily: "Our Xiaoyu is the bravest. When our Xiaoyu gets better, dad will take you to catch fish in the river and swim."
Luo Xiaoyu nodded: "Okay, then dad must keep his word."
"It must count."
After Boss Luo made an agreement with his son, Tao Qiqi, who had taken a pulse, looked at Luo Xiaoyu's swollen legs, and then gently pressed on his calves.
After pressing the button, he slowly spoke: "Did Xiaoyu suffer from hyperthermia (fever) a few days ago?"
"Yes." Boss Luo replied.
"Is Xiaoyu born prematurely, and did Xiaoyu not have enough milk after birth?" Tao Qiqi asked again.
Xiaoyu Niang nodded and replied: "Yes. Is this related to Xiaoyu's current condition?"
Tao Qiqi: "There is a certain relationship."
"Then, can it be cured?" Xiao Yuniang asked nervously and expectantly.
Tao Qiqi looked at Xiao Yuniang and answered affirmatively: "Yes."
As soon as she heard this word, Xiao Yuniang burst into tears instantly.
Fortunately, before Xiao Yu's mother asked Tao Qiqi to save Xiao Yu, Tao Qiqi quickly said: "Xiao Yu's condition is caused by long-term malnutrition. I will explain it to you in detail. You estimate
I don’t understand either. But as long as you do what I say and slowly regulate Xiaoyu’s body, he will never be in this situation again.”
Because Luo Xiaoyu was malnourished from the beginning and was born prematurely, he had no milk to drink after birth, so he could only drink rice soup to satisfy his hunger. When he got older, he could only eat rice cereal.
But the nutrients in these two items are completely insufficient.
What's more, because he was born prematurely, his gastrointestinal tract is not very good, his nutrient absorption is slow, his nutrient supply is insufficient, and his protein is too low.
According to modern medical explanation, this symptom is called ‘hypoalbuminemia’.
Once you have a fever, the protein is lower and it is easier to cause hydroabdominal fluid, also called "nutritional hydroperitoneum".
For problems like this, nutrition must be supplemented. Simply drinking traditional Chinese medicine will not solve the problem.
Xiaoyu's condition is pretty good. Premature birth itself is very dangerous. Coupled with the lack of nutrition, he is lucky to survive.
What's more, his gastrointestinal development was slow due to lack of nutrition, so he absorbed nutrients slowly. Fortunately, his heart, liver, and kidneys didn't have any problems.
Fortunately, these are no problems, and treatment is not so difficult now.
"Then, what should we do and how should we cooperate?" Xiao Yuniang looked at Tao Qiqi nervously and asked.
