Affection for Sidaogou during the Famine

Chapter 52: The whole family is killing insects

The world is big, but eating meat is the biggest! Even if the world is destroyed and knives are falling from the sky, it can't stop her from eating badger meat tonight!

"Today is a good day, everything you want will come true.

Today is a good day, let’s open the door and welcome the spring breeze.

Tomorrow is a good day, I will continue to dig badger holes in the mountains. Tomorrow is a good day, and my wish to eat meat will come true!

Every day is a good day, we can eat meat every day and enjoy peace! "

Hmm! Sister Song’s “Good Days” is still the most appropriate song for the occasion. It can really express her happiness at the moment!

While humming "Good Days", Han Zhaozhao went to the warehouse, took out a reed mat and spread it in the yard, then poured out the medicinal herbs he had dug today and spread them out to dry.

It has to be aired out. If left covered overnight it will heat up and change color, ruining its medicinal properties. It won't look good and won't sell for a high price.

Time was tight in the mountains, and the herbs were not collected in a hurry. There were some weeds and dead leaves mixed in, and the hairy roots of Stemona radix also needed to be removed.

Too many impurities would make the herbs unclean and of poor quality. Han Zhaozhao would never allow such factors to affect the sales, so even if she was very tired, she insisted on cleaning the herbs.

Stemona bulbs and Rehmannia glutinosa are easy to clean. Just pick out the impurities and roots. There is no need to wash them. Just find a cool and ventilated place to dry them in the sun.

Polygala tenuifolia is more troublesome, as it needs to be flattened with a rolling pin to remove its wooden core.

Fresh Polygala roots are relatively brittle, and it is not easy to pull out the entire root after being flattened. You can only be patient and slowly peel it off, joint by joint.

This job really tests one’s patience!

After working for a while, Han Zhaozhao felt dizzy and his neck was sore.

No, she can't stand it after only a little bit of it has been peeled off. If more is dug out, she will be exhausted just by peeling the skin and pulling out the core. Wouldn't she get cervical spondylosis at such a young age?

We have to find a way to get external help!

At this time, Han Zhaozhao thought of her friends.

The abacus beads made a clacking sound, and the third child, who was just walking out of the hospital with Mother Qian, sneezed violently.

"Oh my god! I will never come to the hospital again. I didn't buy the deworming medicine, I hope I don't catch a bad cold again!

The smell in this hospital is so bad, it's not even as good as the toilet in the alley!

Mom, you said that many people die here every day, it doesn't smell like death, does it? "

Mother Qian was upset because she had come up empty-handed!

"What nonsense are you talking about? This is the smell of disinfectant. The hospital sprays disinfectants every day.

Hurry up and catch up, the grocery store will be closing soon and I have wasted half a day's leave.

If I had known that grocery stores sell pagoda candies, why would I go to the hospital and waste my ten-cent registration fee!"

Xiao Sanzi laughed and replied: "Pagoda candy is also candy, there is nothing wrong with selling it in grocery stores!"

Now he can rest assured. The anthelmintic sold together with candy in grocery stores is definitely safe to eat!

However, when he thought about the many roundworms in his stomach competing with him for food, he felt uncomfortable, disgusted, hateful, and a little scared.

I heard from the doctor that in some patients, the roundworms in their stomachs can crawl into their heads and chew them into idiots, and can chew a hole in their stomachs...

Oh my god, I can't think about it! It's too scary. He can't help but feel panic just thinking about it.

Fortunately, Zhaozhao had experience with roundworms and could see his symptoms. Otherwise, if the roundworms really bit him, he would be in so much pain that he wouldn't even know he was killed by the roundworms.

The doctor said that his condition was not serious and that eating pagoda candies for three days at most would clear out the worms in his stomach.

Alas, educated people are well-informed! This time, thanks to Zhao Zhao's reminder, it's a pity that her mother died!

Otherwise, if there is such a capable person in the neighborhood, everyone can benefit from it. Not only can he diagnose a disease, but he can also point out the symptoms, and the neighbors can avoid many detours.

In the words of the old principal: It's unbelievable!

Who would have thought that if you often drink cold water and eat raw food and don't wash your hands, you will eat invisible insect eggs into your stomach and even live and grow inside your stomach?

"Mom, you said that almost all the children often have stomachaches. Are they suffering from roundworms?"

Xiao Sanzi suddenly remembered that one of his classmates also suffered from stomachache frequently. When the pain came, it was very severe. He would somersault, stand upright, and roll on the ground. But after a while, he would be as good as normal.

He eats and drinks as he should, and even sings folk songs at the top of his voice! He doesn't miss out on playing, nor does he miss out on going to school. Could it be that he is suffering from the roundworms in his stomach?

"Well, it's true. It's possible. Oh, who would have thought that you kids are so spoiled now.

When we were little, our parents and elders always told us that if we ate it, we would not get sick. Didn’t we grow up well?

But what the doctor said was scary! You can’t drink raw water, you can’t eat raw vegetables, you have to wash your hands with soap after pooping, and before eating! Otherwise, invisible insect eggs will enter your mouth. It makes me sick!

You've got ascariasis this time, so you'd better remember this.

From now on, wash your hands thoroughly after taking a shit or eating, so as not to get into this trouble again.

Your elder and second brothers were reluctant to eat the delicious food in our house, and left most of it for you. Now, it’s like feeding it all to the worms in your stomach! What a waste! ! "

The third child said awkwardly: "It's not my fault, Mom. The doctor told me to wash my hands before and after meals, and to wash them thoroughly with soap.

Our family only buys two bars of soap every month. My eldest brother and second brother are still very vain. They wash their hair and take a bath once a week, and they wash their clothes frequently, but the money is still not enough for them, so how can I get any?

You should buy a few more next month. We all need to pay attention to hygiene. Otherwise, if you don’t pay attention, you will bring insect eggs home. No matter how strict my prevention is, it will be useless.”

Mother Qian thought: That makes sense!

When it comes to illness, we really can't be careless. Next month we have to set aside two dollars more to buy soap and improve the personal hygiene of our family members.

Doesn't the government also promote sanitation campaigns? We should also actively respond, not lag behind, and strive to become a sanitation model.

As the mother and daughter were talking, they went to the grocery store to buy some pagoda candies. After returning home, Mother Qian not only prepared some for her third son, but also forced Qian Boqian and Qian Zhonghao to chew a few.

Qian Boqian and Qian Zhonghao were so scared that they wanted to run away from home. "Mom, are you crazy? We are all adults, and you still force us to eat pagoda candies. These are for children. Isn't it a waste to let us eat them?"

No one can resist what Mother Qian has decided. In this family, her words must be taken as imperial decrees.

"Stop right there! Whoever dares to run out of this door, don't even think about coming back!

The doctor said that ascariasis can occur in both adults and children. Xiao Sanzi and you share the same life habits. If he can have worms, you must have some in your stomach too.

Not only do you two have to eat, but your dad and I will also eat with you.

The symptoms that the doctor mentioned, such as grinding your teeth in the middle of the night, itchy buttocks, and frequent stomachaches, you three have all of these symptoms. There must be bugs in your stomach.

Anyway, I have already bought the pagoda candy. The money has been spent and I can't get it back. As long as I don't get any worms in my stomach after eating it, it's not a waste.

I tasted two of them right there, they were sweet, just like candy, just treat them like candy!"

The third child nodded and agreed: "Brother, you guys eat it, the pagoda candies are delicious, red, green, yellow, white, and there are many other colors!"

Father Qian sat on the only two chairs with lights hanging on them like a background board, letting his wife discipline his sons while he silently smoked his cigarette without saying a word.

After the children were quiet, he patted the table and said, "Mom, give me a few too!"
