Sweet 80s

The evenings in the countryside have a unique fragrance, a special scent mixed with grass, trees, and soil.

It was quiet everywhere, the starry sky was as black as ink, and the moonlight was as silver.

Occasionally, there are the barking of dogs in the distance and the greetings of leaves brushing past each other in the wind.

The eldest child was still jumping on the bed, but the second child had already fallen into a deep sleep.

After changing the medicine on Lin Xiangdong's arm, Wang Shuping checked his feet.

The redness, swelling and bumps on the soles of my feet have obviously subsided, leaving only the marks of the bee stings.

In the second half of the night, Erbao woke up somehow and hummed softly in bed.

Lin Xiangdong was sleeping soundly and Wang Shuping was woken up.

She stood up to check the situation. As soon as she picked up the second baby, she found that the little guy's forehead was terribly hot and his whole face was red.

Wang Shuping quickly turned on the light and held the child in her arms.

During the shaking, Erbao became much more conscious. He blinked his eyes, which could not be opened, and uttered with trembling lips: "Mom, I feel uncomfortable~"

"Where else do you feel uncomfortable?"

"My stomach hurts ~ it feels like there's a balloon inside."

Wang Shuping roughly guessed that it was due to indigestion due to abdominal pain, bloating and fever.

Children can easily develop indigestion if they don’t pay attention to what they eat.

Indigestion is not a serious problem, but fever is a different matter.

Going to the village clinic in the middle of the night would definitely wake up the whole family. Seeing that the fever was not serious, she first used physical cooling methods to cool down the baby.

In Northeast China, Wang Shuping, as an elder sister, has experienced her younger siblings suffering from indigestion and fever, so she has some experience in this regard.

She first put a towel soaked in warm water on the little guy's forehead, and wiped his body with another towel of warm water.

Then wipe the armpits, palms, soles of feet, back and other parts.

After repeating this several times, some sweat began to seep out of Erbao's forehead.

As long as sweat can come out of the body, the fever will go away quickly.

Then rub your palms to warm them up, and then place them on Erbao’s abdomen and massage in a clockwise direction.

This can promote the peristalsis of the digestive tract, thereby alleviating food accumulation and preventing the disease from worsening.

Small folk remedies can cure serious diseases.

For indigestion, these steps can basically relieve most of the discomfort. As the humming sound gradually decreases, you will feel much more energetic than before.

Seeing that her son was not in so much pain, Wang Shuping carried him to the yard.

Lin Xiangdong was lying on the bed. He turned over and found that his wife was missing. When he looked up, he heard whispering coming from outside the window.

Not knowing what happened, he put on a coat and walked out the door.

Seeing Erbao lying in Wang Shuping's arms, he walked over and whispered softly, "Wife."

Wang Shuping was startled: "Why are you up? Were you woken up by me?"

"No, what are you two doing here so late at night?"

"My stomach hurts." Erbao is much better now and loves to talk again.

"He has a fever due to indigestion. I just wiped his body."

When Lin Xiangdong heard this, he squatted down hurriedly and put his hand on Erbao's forehead: "Do you want to go to the village clinic?"

"No, he rubbed his tummy and went to the bathroom again, so nothing's wrong for now."

Lin Xiangdong nodded, and then asked curiously, "He doesn't eat much, why did he suddenly have indigestion?"

"Yes, I fed him lunch. He didn't eat much meat and vegetables that were hard to digest. He didn't eat much for dinner either. Logically, he shouldn't have had any indigestion."

Wang Shuping, who knows her children well, noticed something was wrong: "Erbao, do you eat anything else besides the food at home?"

As for the matter of grandma giving him money to buy snacks, Dabao repeatedly warned his grandma not to tell his parents under any circumstances as soon as he left the house.

Erbao frowned and kept his little mouth tightly shut, not daring to speak.

Everyone has weaknesses, including Erbao.

He is timid and will easily blurt out everything in his mind if he is slightly frightened.

"There are a lot of bugs in snacks. If you have a stomachache, it's because the bugs are biting you. Once they grow bigger..."

"Bread and popsicles, as well as fruit leather and Tang Seng meat, and..."

"More? How much did you eat? No, where did the money come from?"

Wang Shuping knew that the two children were usually very honest when it came to snacks, and would proactively report what they wanted to eat and how much it would cost.

I must have bought it secretly today, otherwise I wouldn’t buy so many things at once.

"How else can it be? It must have been given by our parents." Lin Xiangdong said.

"Grandma said that snacks shouldn't take up space in the stomach." Seeing Erbao's aggrieved look, Wang Shuping didn't have the heart to say anything more.

"Grandma must have wanted them to buy some delicious food because he was frightened by the chicken. So, you hold him first, and I'll go make some hawthorn water for him to drink."

Lin Xiangdong hugged her, but he was not as patient as Wang Shuping.

Breathing heavily, he shook it vigorously, then turned around and shook it again.

I felt dizzy and soon fell asleep.

When Wang Shuping brought the hawthorn water, Erbao had already fallen asleep: "Why did this child fall asleep?"

"Leave it there and drink it in the morning."

The next morning.

In the early morning in the countryside, there is a veil-like mist.

The sunlight penetrates the clouds and shines on the wheat fields that are gradually turning yellow and ripening.

Wisps of blue smoke were emitting the smell of fireworks from the houses that were scattered all over the place.

The old couple of the Lin family got up early to prepare meals for the children and bring back the country flavors to the city.

The bag the couple brought had only been empty for 24 hours, and now it was filled with more than when they arrived.

Lin Sifang was waiting behind his wife, holding a large winter melon with hard and thick rind, tight flesh and light green skin.

After carefully selecting fruits, hand-pickled pickles, salted duck eggs, and preserved eggs were stuffed in, the winter melon just wouldn't fit in.

He glanced at the other two canvas tote bags, the zippers of which were about to burst, so he could only continue to work on the bag in front of him.

He took out everything inside and put the winter melon in successfully, but there was no room for the rest of the things.

He looked at this and then that, unwilling to give up either one.

But the big winter melon was just picked from the vegetable garden and it was extremely fresh.

Just when Lin Sifang was in a dilemma, Lin Xiangdong came out of the house and teased in surprise when he saw several canvas bags.

"Moving? Why didn't anyone notify me?"

"Kid, you can't fit it in. Why don't you think of a way?" Li Xiuzhi slapped Lin Xiangdong on the shoulder.

"If you can't put it in, don't do it." After saying that, Lin Xiangdong took the winter melon out of the bag and placed it on the stone table.

"We are returning to the city, not marching into the desert to fight. There is nothing in the city."

He took out a dozen salted duck eggs and boiled white eggs from the bag and said, "Keep them for yourself."

Wang Shuping came into the yard with her long black hair tied into a knot.

"That's right, Dad and Mom, we have too much stuff to take a car. We'll come back in a few days when the wheat is ripe."

The old couple looked at each other, felt that what the other said made sense, and no longer forced them to accept it.

After dinner, Lin Xiangdong and his family boarded the return bus.

After arriving home, the two children first rushed into the yard to check on the animals, and after making sure they were all alive, they began their work.

Dabao was busy playing and had not finished a lot of homework.

He rushed into the house and frantically finished his homework.

He lost his desire to play and after scratching his head, he sighed as he looked at his exercise book. Then he found an excuse to go to Ji Xiaoguang's house to copy homework.

The second baby was busy feeding and cleaning, and the little puppy followed him, wagging its tail and asking for a hug.

"Is Xiangdong at home?"

At dinner time, a man outside the gate stretched his neck and shouted towards the yard.

"Dad, Uncle Zhou is here."

Dabao ran into the house to inform the police.

Lin Xiangdong walked out and saw Zhou Zheng's happy face, and he knew that the bicycle issue was probably settled.

"I came here last night and you weren't at home. Come on, I'll take you to see a new car, a Phoenix brand, I'm sure you'll like it..."
