Affection for Sidaogou during the Famine

She didn't even want to do the farm work in the space. The blow was too great and she wanted to lie down!

Without any exercise, Han Zhaozhao felt that she had no interest in anything tonight. It was only half past nine and she crawled into bed and prepared to sleep.

Like a sulky child, Han Zhaozhao couldn't fall asleep even though he was lying on the kang.

"It's all grandma's fault. What's the point of talking about making pancakes? I haven't even seen the pancakes she promised, but she made them first!"

The kang seemed to be covered with peas. She tossed and turned on the kang like a millstone, from one end of the kang to the other, changing countless postures, but still couldn't fall asleep!

Han Zhaozhao also wanted to yell, "Damn God!" But she was too timid to do so! She was afraid of being struck by lightning!

I tossed and turned for half the night, but not only did I not fall asleep, I ended up getting so angry that I couldn't sleep.

In the end, she could only persuade herself: God was kind to her as she didn't become blind, lame, missing arms or legs, or extremely ugly!

Why do we need gold, silver, and treasures? Those things are valuable, and they are fascinating. But in years of drought, they are useless as they can neither be eaten nor drunk!

There was no other way, in the end Han Zhaozhao convinced himself again!

Before falling asleep in a daze, Han Zhaozhao was still thinking vaguely in her mind, although she was angry, she seemed to have forgotten something very important!

Han Zhaozhao didn't know what time she fell asleep, but she felt very tired.

Han Zhaozhao woke up when the sky brightened, the cold air dissipated, and the temperature rose.

After putting on his clothes and opening the door, the first thing Han Zhaozhao did was to run to the toilet in the backyard.

She is not used to getting up at night to use the spittoon because she hates the smell!

I hadn't brought the spittoon into the room for a long time. This night was too long and I felt like my bladder was going to explode as soon as I got up.

Everyone can endure hunger and humiliation, but absolutely cannot endure the urge to defecate!

Fortunately, Han Zhaozhao's short legs were quick and he didn't tie his belt, otherwise he wouldn't even have time to untie his belt and would have definitely wet his pants.

The consequences are serious and not what she wants.

To be honest, the belts of this era are something that often makes Han Zhaozhao feel overwhelmed.

It is called a belt, but it is actually just an old piece of cloth. Nowadays, the only people who can really use belts are soldiers in the army and perhaps cadres.

Ordinary people, even workers who receive monthly wages, mostly use cloth strips as belts.

Cloth belts are environmentally friendly. They will not cause skin allergies due to metal buckles, nor will they cause prickly heat and skin diseases.

However, this primitive and environmentally friendly belt has one biggest drawback - it is easy to pull the wrong piece of cloth at a critical moment, and the loose buckle will become a fixed buckle!

It was really embarrassing at that time. The more anxious I was, the harder it was to untie. I was so anxious that I wanted to just take a pair of scissors and cut it without any care.

Han Zhaozhao has encountered such a situation twice. Fortunately, this embarrassing thing happened once in the backyard toilet of his own home and once in the mountains.

Without anyone else present, she was able to calmly solve the problem using the scissors in space.

At that time, she didn't dare to think that if this happened in a public toilet, she couldn't take out the scissors in front of others, and she might make a fool of herself!

To this end, she secretly sewed new buttons and clasps on each of her trousers without her grandmother's knowledge, making them look like the modified version of trouser waists in later generations. Only then did she dare to wear such trousers with confidence.

Han Zhaozhao decided that she would never be angry with herself again. It was meaningless and harmful to her body and heart. It was really not worth it!

She wondered in her heart, was it because her children in her previous life treated her and her parents like children and coaxed them, that her mental state had really declined?

Otherwise, why is she always acting childishly now?

In the yard, the reed mats were spread out and filled with various Chinese medicinal herbs that were dried in the sun. These were all what she had dug up from the mountain yesterday.

She went back to her room and slept in a huff, forgetting about the herbs, but her grandmother did not forget, as the old lady was most afraid of wasting things.

Grandma Han got up early in the morning and put everything in the sun. Seeing the yard full of herbs, Han Zhaozhao felt better.

This is all money! If you convert it, this is all supplies! It is the basic guarantee of life!

When drought comes, these medicinal herbs can be exchanged for money to buy food, which can save lives.

Today was another good day. As winter was approaching, Han Zhaozhao would never waste his time.

After breakfast, she pushed the cart, carried a water bottle and dry food, and Han Zhaozhao set off again with full energy.

I met several groups of familiar faces along the way, all of them were old neighbors who went to the suburbs to collect firewood.

Yes, after the autumn rain, the weather has become colder and almost all the leaves have fallen. If I don’t go out to collect firewood quickly, the weather will get colder.

Once it freezes, if you want to go up the mountain to chop firewood, it will be so cold that you won’t be able to stretch out your hands.

The more diligent families took action, and more people went up the mountain.

Han Zhaozhao avoided his acquaintances and went up the mountain alone from the secluded foot of the mountain to the valley he had reached yesterday.

There are many wild medicinal herbs in the valley, and she hasn't explored them all yet. She won't move until she has picked all of them.

This valley is neither too far nor too close to the city, yet remote and secluded, making it the perfect place for a little girl like her to pick up bargains.

Han Zhaozhao first climbed up the hillside and took a look around to see if there were any outsiders nearby. He took out an electric hand saw from the space and started chopping wood.

After a large pile of firewood was laid down, the view became much wider and the medicinal herbs hidden under the bushes were revealed.

Han Zhaozhao took out a hoe from the space and started digging medicinal herbs.

She found a large patch of salvia miltiorrhiza and dug out a piece to take a look. The salvia miltiorrhiza was very old, with thick rhizomes and high yield.

Salvia

The wet and soft soil was easy to dig and took very little effort. In a short while, Han Zhaozhao had dug more than 20 piles, which formed a huge pile when put together!

A drink made from Danshen has the same effect as Siwu Decoction!

Salvia miltiorrhiza, in some places, is also called red lady or red ginseng.

Salvia miltiorrhiza is a perennial upright herb of the Lamiaceae family. It was first recorded in the Shennong Herbal Classic and listed as a top-grade product. It is known as the "natural support" and has high medicinal value.

Salvia miltiorrhiza generally grows in grasslands on sunny hillsides, ditches, roadsides or forest edges. It likes sunlight and a sufficient and warm environment.

At this season, all the plants on the ground have dried up, leaving only the upright four-sided stems, swaying in the autumn wind.

Salvia miltiorrhiza is also a traditional Chinese medicinal material whose roots are used as medicine. Its roots are slender and cylindrical, with vermilion outer skin and white flesh.

Salvia miltiorrhiza root

The roots of Salvia miltiorrhiza are like blood vessels in the human body. The rhizomes are dug up in autumn and winter, washed and cleaned, and then dried and cut into small round pieces for medicinal use.

Danshen can promote blood circulation and regulate menstruation, remove blood stasis and promote new blood circulation, reduce inflammation and swelling, discharge pus and promote tissue regeneration, and replenish deficiency.

Combined with angelica sinensis and aconite root, it can treat irregular menstruation.

Combined with Cyperus rotundus and Corydalis yanhusuo, it can treat amenorrhea, blood stasis and abdominal pain;

Combined with fried cotton seeds, fried poplar leaves, and brown charcoal, it can treat uterine bleeding;

Combined with honeysuckle, Viola yedoensis, and Forsythia suspensa, it can treat mastitis, lymphadenitis, sores, carbuncles, and erysipelas;

Combined with Artemisia capillaris, Curcuma aromatica, and Turmeric, it can treat acute and chronic hepatitis and pain in the ribs;

Stir-fry 100 grams of Salvia miltiorrhiza with wine, and 3 grams of soaked ginger, decoct in water or take with rice wine to treat retained lochia, clenched jaw and opisthotonos.

The medicinal herb Salvia miltiorrhiza can be used without any other ingredients. Just taking 50 cents to 100 cents of it and boiling it in water to drink can also treat neurasthenia, insomnia, joint pain, and anemia.
