Affection for Sidaogou during the Famine

Leader Gao and Zeng Bin were also very sad. They were both from the political department of the army and often dealt with the follow-up pension issues for the families of sacrificed soldiers.

In dealing with military families, I have seen many such sad scenes.

Representing the troops to comfort the families of martyrs and solving problems for them is the most common work they do. They have handed over too many relics of their comrades, and each time it breaks their hearts.

Wearing this military uniform, it is their duty to defend their country, and dying heroically is their destiny. Since ancient times, this has been the fate of soldiers!

After struggling to see off the two leaders of the army, the old lady collapsed as expected!

Her whole body felt like a cooked shrimp, and if she put a wet towel on her forehead, white steam would soon evaporate.

Without using a thermometer, Han Zhaozhao knew by measuring with his hands that the old lady's fever was probably around 40 degrees.

The old lady fell ill in the middle of the night. It had been snowing outside all day, and everywhere she looked was thick white snow.

The snow was calf-deep, the ground was icy and the temperature was as low as minus 18 or 19 degrees Celsius.

Han Zhaozhao didn't dare to send the old lady to the hospital in the middle of the night. To be honest, she really didn't trust the medical conditions of that era.

Fortunately, because she had experienced an epidemic in her previous life, she had stored a lot of commonly used medicines in the space.

Especially medicines for treating high fever and pneumonia, she bought a lot of them in boxes.

The old lady was delirious with fever and kept mumbling, "Rongsheng, don't go! Son, come back! Fenghua, Fenghua, come and see the child!"

Han Zhaozhao felt sad, so he used white wine to rub his body to cool down, and also boiled some Xiao Chaihu Decoction to reduce the fever and drank it.

But her breast's fever symptoms did not improve.

After drinking Chinese medicine, the old lady's fever would gradually subside, but it would not last long before the fever would rise again.

Her temperature was sometimes low and sometimes high, and her condition was up and down. Han Zhaozhao was so distressed that she didn't dare close her eyes all night. She kept lying beside her nursing bed to take care of her, fearing that the old lady would develop pneumonia.

If she couldn't control herself anymore, she would have to go out at dawn to ask for help and take her grandmother to the clinic for intravenous drips and injections.

Finally, Han Zhaozhao realized that relying solely on Chinese medicine to reduce the temperature was too slow, and there was really no other way. While the old lady was still drowsy, Han Zhaozhao gave her another tablet of ibuprofen.

Perhaps as someone who had seldom used Western medicine, she had no drug resistance. After taking ibuprofen, the old lady's high fever quickly subsided before she even used the cephalexin prepared by Han Zhaozhao.

As long as the fever doesn't recur, Han Zhaozhao doesn't plan to give her grandmother western medicine anymore.

In fact, the old lady didn't have any serious health problems. She used to have some minor ailments, but she has been drinking space water for the past few months and her health has improved.

Her chronic gastritis has completely recovered by eating the medicinal food that Han Zhaozhao cooked under the pretext of practicing. She occasionally eats something cold in the winter and has never had an attack again.

The main reason why the old lady suddenly became furious this time was that she heard that her son had really died. The glimmer of hope in her heart was shattered, as if a taut string had broken, and she was just too angry for a moment.

Illness comes like a mountain falling, and goes away like a thread being pulled out! The old lady is also suffering from a heart disease, and treatment cannot be rushed, she still has to take care of herself slowly!

Han Zhaozhao planned to mix some newly produced things from the space into the drinking water and food at home to nourish her grandmother's body first.

The old lady's fever subsided, but she was still weak and frail. She had to stay in bed for three days before she could get out of bed.

Director Zhang from the neighborhood committee came again and learned that the old lady was ill. He also helped to go to her grandmother's workplace, explained the situation to her leader and asked for leave.

Grandpa Guan, Uncle Qian and his wife, Aunt Niu and Aunt Li all came to visit when they learned that the old lady was ill. Even Qi Mudan, who lived alone, came to sit at home and chat with her grandmother.

Niu Xiaoyun even went straight to her house and helped Han Zhaozhao to light the fire and cook, boil medicine and make soup, clean the house and do the laundry.

Xiao Sanzi, Niu Zhengyi and other older children would also run to her house after school to chop wood, fetch water, and make the grandparents and grandchildren happy.

With the care and concern of the neighbors, Han Zhaozhao's courtyard was filled with people coming and going all day long, dispersing the sad atmosphere.

The old lady gradually got better with the chattering of the children and the comfort and counseling of her old friends.

On the fourth day, her condition improved slightly and the old lady could no longer stay at home. No matter how Han Zhaozhao tried to try to stop her, she still insisted on going to work.

Han Zhaozhao looked at the stubborn grandmother and was at a loss as to what to do. She understood that the old lady was afraid that if she took too long a leave of absence, it would affect her chances of becoming a regular employee before the end of the year.

The superior unit has already notified them that a group of temporary workers with good performance will be selected before the New Year and given the opportunity to be converted to regular employees.

Since she started working, the old lady has been working diligently and not daring to relax. She will never miss this opportunity to become a regular employee. In order to take this job, she really worked hard!

Han Zhaozhao had no way to stop her grandmother's ambition, so she could only try her best to find ways to ensure her grandmother's nutritional intake.

I don’t sleep in the morning. I get up before dawn to cook red dates and millet porridge and boil goose eggs for her to nourish her body.

At noon, she would steam buns in advance, stew bacon, cabbage and tofu, wrap them tightly in a small quilt, and put them in a basket, and then deliver the food to her mother while it was still hot.

In the evening, I either make chicken soup or fish soup, and put some nourishing Chinese medicinal herbs in the soup.

In order to have an excuse to take out the fresh ingredients in the space, Han Zhaozhao started running out every day. He either went out of the city to trap pheasants and rabbits in the snow, or carried iron picks and hammers to Houhai to break ice holes and catch fish.

Since she almost never came back empty-handed, she would always bring something home, including pheasants, rabbits, and fish, and sometimes even doves, sparrows, etc., which made both adults and children in the alley follow her around.

Except for the first day after the snow, every household in the hutong would send someone out to sweep the snow. After that, people in the hutong who used to be reluctant to move around could no longer stay at home.

Especially on Sundays, when fish appeared on the ice surface of Houhai and Beihai, people from their alley could almost always be seen.

As a result, people from several neighboring alleys thought that Shuijing Alley had been hit by a disaster and that they could no longer live there!

But it's strange that in the past, when winter came, there would always be people in poor families who had little coal or firewood stored at home who would catch the cold and fall ill.

This year, everyone was rushing outside, but I haven't heard of anyone falling sick from the cold.

In the words of Mr. Guan, "If you move around in winter, you will get sick less often; if you are lazy in winter, you will have to take more medicine."

Han Zhaozhao knew that this was not the only reason.

The neighbors who followed her out would also benefit from it to some extent. Especially when she went fishing on the ice, she would secretly sprinkle space water into the ice hole to lure the fish, and the fish that were farther away would always swim slower and arrive later.

There were many people watching the fun on the ice, so Han Zhaozhao didn't dare to collect the fish into the space too blatantly.

She only caught three or five each time, and the rest were snatched up by neighbors who were waiting to pick up a bargain and took them home. She would eat the smaller ones herself, and as she couldn't bear to eat the bigger ones, she would find ways to sell them in the free market.

There are always a few sharp-eyed people among the neighbors. They have long discovered that Han Zhaozhao has been very lucky this year and often catches fish and wild animals to sell in the free market for money.

It is said that human beings have the strongest ability to imitate. Once someone follows others and sees the money, they will taste the sweetness.
