The old days(34)

I don’t know if it’s not warm enough, but the winters of the past two years have been extremely cold.

This is not Lin Yutong's illusion, it is really cold. Last winter, the temperature in the south reached more than ten degrees below zero, and Dongting Lake even froze for more than half a month. The damage caused by the disaster was nothing but a piece of paper.

There are clear black and white photos, and I haven’t seen it intuitively.

But if you are in the north, staying in a room with no heating or stove at more than ten degrees below zero, it would be really uncomfortable to think about it.

Because last year's coldness left a deep impression on people, as soon as winter started this year, everyone was eager to get their own cotton coupons, buy cotton, and buy winter clothes for their children.

But the one who wears new clothes is usually the eldest child in the family. There is no need for the second child. The second child can wear the clothes that the eldest child wears.

The little girl from Guilan's house next door is dressed like a boy, wearing clothes that a dog cannot wear. A dog is like a boy, he is naughty all day long, and his clothes are already worn out.

It looked good. Guilan didn't care about it. It just sewed it up if it was broken and put it on the grass.

Speaking of the children in the building, Xiaocao is very sensible. He has been doing housework such as sweeping the floor and wiping the table for a long time. Even though his children are young, they are now learning to cook.

In the past, Guilan worked in the cafeteria. Every day, they would prepare the meals before getting off work and wait for everyone to come over to eat after work. She belonged to the vegetable cutting group, and it was not her place to do such a good job as cooking.

body. So, even if she was working in the canteen, she would come back on time to cook.

It's different now, Xiaocao can work together to cook the raw food into mature food. She stays in the cafeteria.

After selling the food, the vegetable soup and other things left in the basin are all good things. As long as you don't take these things back, it's okay to taste them in the kitchen. Guilan stayed in the kitchen and didn't go home.

Just to eat these vegetable soups at the end. Doesn’t this virtually save a serving of vegetables at home?

So Lin Yutong watched Xiaocao struggling to chop the vegetables, chopped the cabbage into random pieces, put it into the pot, then added water and salt, and started cooking. When it was cooked, her mother had steamed the nest in advance.

When you take out the steamed sweet potato, you don’t need to heat it, just put it in, and then it’s dinner.

Sister Miao sighed and whispered to Lin Yutong: "Guilan is too economical. The child can still make a living, but how can Baozhu, who has been doing heavy work for a long time, eat?"

This is not true either!

Baozhu is a sledgehammer, and serious work relies on strength. If he can't eat well, he will definitely not be able to do it. But children can't work together either. It's the time when they are growing up.

Of course, Sister-in-law Miao's understanding is the mainstream thinking. The main labor force in the family must be well-fed, and others can just make ends meet.

Su Jin said on the side, "I don't care whether the food is good or not, but it is impossible to ask the children to eat cold steamed buns and cold sweet potatoes in this cold weather." As he said, he fried eggs for his family, "My family

I'm so spoiled that I won't eat if I don't have something delicious to eat. I've been having a cough for the past two days and I've become even more squeamish."

Speaking of coughing, Mrs. Miao also said: "Is it because the cold wave is coming? My Tiedan is also coughing."

I just wanted to say that my child didn't cough, but I didn't expect that half a week later, when I came back from class at the Staff College that night, I heard Danyang coughing, and then Chaoyang coughed a few times, and I didn't sleep well.

Lin Yutong and Fourth Master hurried in, "I've been very careful, why did I cough?"

The old lady hugged Chaoyang, and when she saw the couple coming back, she said, "Pour Danyang a sip of hot water and squeeze it."

The fourth master went to pour water. Lin Yutong took Chaoyang and pressed it on the child. The cough stopped at that time. Then he handed the child to the old lady. Danyang’s hot water had not yet reached her mouth. Her mother put it aside

After pressing her back a dozen times, she no longer had the intention to cough: "Is it so magical?"

Lin Yutong resisted and explained to the old lady: "It's based on a medical book." Then he asked Danyang, "Did you eat randomly outside?"

Danyang shook his head and retreated into bed sleepily: "Maybe Xiaocao infected me, she coughed very badly..."

Then don’t play together first. It’s mutual infection!

The couple couldn't sleep well, so they had to get up after a while to check on the child. It must have been eleven o'clock. Lin Yutong got up to see Danyang. Seeing that the girl was sleeping deeply, she checked her pulse and found nothing, so she quietly

After exiting the small cubicle, she said that she could sleep soundly now. Unexpectedly, she heard some slight noises outside. Lin Yutong opened the door a crack with her clothes on and looked outside. She saw Mrs. Miao getting up and working in front of the stove.

"What are you doing?" Lin Yutong couldn't help but ask when he opened the door, but before Mrs. Miao could answer, Tiedan's coughing sound came from the crack in the door of Miao's house.

Sister-in-law Miao pointed to the Zhang family, "His children are infected. From now on, we won't let several children play together. His children are made of iron, but ours are not." She shouted while holding a green onion root.

Lin Yutong looked at it, "Stew onions, radish and ginger, and give it to the children to drink. How about Danyang? Are you still coughing? Can I add an extra bowl of water and ask the children to drink some?"

"It's all better." Lin Yutong said: "I pressed it and saw that I can sleep peacefully now. Where is Tiedan? Let me press it first."

according to?

I thought it was some kind of folk remedy. People with elderly people at home always have some emergency solutions.

Sister-in-law Miao said, "Okay! His father is on duty and is not at home. It's okay. You can go in directly."

The pressure on the iron egg made him feel better. Not only did he stop coughing, but he was probably really sleepy and just fell asleep with his head down.

"This kid!" Sister-in-law Miao said quickly, "I didn't know you still had this skill."

"I learned it from books and taught it to children. Anyway, if it doesn't work well, it won't break." This is how Lin Yutong explained.

Sister-in-law Miao said to herself that it was strange that she had to see her children taking medicine and injections.

Sure enough, there is a way.

Yes! No needles or medicines are as safe as massage. She thinks this skill is really good.

Lin Yutong came out, and after thinking about it, he knocked on Xiaoxing's door to see how Yuanhua was doing.

Sure enough, the child also had a cough. Su Jin was dressing the child and taking him to the hospital.

Lin Yutong went over to hold the child and pat and press it on a cold day, but he patted Yuanhua awake and asked: "Aunt... I want to play with my sister..."

"You little girl, you can't sleep after tossing around in the middle of the night. Now that you feel comfortable, you want to play." Su Jin took her and tucked her into bed.

Lin Xiaoxing said: "I won't let this girl play with the dirty boy across from me anymore. Look at all this trouble..."

Before she finished speaking, Sister-in-law Miao shouted from outside: "Xiao Lin... Xiao Lin... come and take a look..."

Sister-in-law Miao is at Zhang's house.

Lin Yutong came over to see the aid to China, so she went to call the door of the Zhang family. The door opened. Zhang Baozhu woke up from sleep and opened the door. Guilan was not on duty. She asked to see if Xiaocao was coughing.

Why don't you ask Lin Yutong to help you press it? Although you may say you despise the child, in the end you feel that the child is pitiful and you can't bear it in your heart.

As a result, she found that the child was sleeping on the floor next to the heater. There was a straw mat on the floor, so it was supposedly not cold. But she just looked pitifully and asked Zhang Baozhu, "Why do you let the child sleep on the floor?"

Zhang Baozhu was also stunned: "I went to bed early and had to go to work the night shift at twelve o'clock. I don't know how this girl slept on the floor." After saying that, he shook his head: "It's okay, the straw mat is thick, it's not cold."

It makes no sense that she was coughing the most, but she stopped coughing now.

Sister-in-law Miao was more thoughtful, so she pushed Zhang Baozhu away and went to take a look. This look was amazing. The child's head was burning hot, and he was not coughing. He was so feverish that he fainted.

He quickly called Lin Yutong, who left him alone and ran over, touching the child's forehead with his hand. In fact, he had already placed his fingers by his ear to feel for the pulse.

This child is not just coughing. She looked at Zhang Baozhu: "Send to the hospital quickly. Why do I think the symptoms look a bit like diphtheria! Hurry, bring the dog with you." The two children have a lot of contact, this thing is contagious.

, "Ask the doctor to take a look at everything."

She glanced at Gouzi before and knew just by listening to her breathing that the child should not be infected. The reason why she said that was because she was afraid that Zhang Baozhu would not believe her words and delay the child again.

He dared to be careless with a girl, but he really didn't dare to do it with a boy.

Zhang Baozhu was hurriedly looking for clothes: "Go now, go right away."

Sister-in-law Miao said she was going to the cafeteria to call Guilan, so Su Jin said, "I'll make a quick trip. Tiedan is still at home, and I don't want to leave anyone at home."

After hearing the news, Qian Siyuan and his wife took his family and Duoduo to the hospital.

In the middle of the night, it alarmed all the families with children. The children were all playing together. Who knows if there is any infection.

Sister-in-law Miao had already dressed Tiedan, so she decided it would be better to go take a look again.

When Su Jin ran back, Lin Xiaoxing had already dressed Yuanhua, and the couple also took Yuanhua there, calling Lin Yutong: "Sister, please hurry up."

Lin Yutong said: "You go first and stay away from the crowd."

The old lady was anxious: "Why don't you go and have a look too?"

"No need!" Lin Yutong said, "I'm feeling safe."

When the old lady saw that the two children were sleeping soundly and that they were not burning or scalding, she gave up for the time being, but she didn't dare to blink an eye all night long.

As a result, Xin Tian came over early the next morning: "Send all the children home first. Diphtheria is so severe during this period. There are also children in the nursery who are infected. I took Yuan Chao to the hospital yesterday.

They are not infected. If the children here are all fine, send them over first and stay at home. I heard at the hospital that there are already two cases in your building."

I only know Xiaocao, but I don’t know there are other children.

It is of course the safest way to send it to Lin's house. The place here is small, and there is only a small amount of space in the building to get in and out, so it is easier to get infected.

So I packed the children and sent them over directly. I took the aid to China with me, and I didn't want to come back for a while.

Before I could take a breath, something happened again.

Zhang Baozhu took care of the child all night. The next day at work, he was distracted and his finger was hit by a hammer. Half of his little finger was smashed. The only way was to cut off the broken half.

A master like Zhang Baozhu leads a young apprentice in the factory. As for the apprentice, he helps hold the parts, but the master stumbles. This mistake is really not the fault of the apprentice.

Guilan was going crazy. Will missing half a finger affect her work? Will she not be able to earn as much in the future? Others asked, "Why don't you take care of the child when he is sick?"

Guilan is dumb.

When Su Jin informed her of her feelings, she didn't take it seriously at all.

She wasn't supposed to work the night shift, but didn't she want to earn more money? She could cover for others. And it was very comfortable to work at night! There were only a few people, so she could just stew some food and put it in the pot and let it simmer.

.No one cares whether she is stealing food or finding a mat to sleep in front of the stove. She can not only rest, but also get half the salary, which is a very cost-effective thing. Anyone who doesn't want to work night shift will come to her, as long as the time is enough
