In the years of famine, in troubled times, the koi sweet wife is omnipotent

The practice of covering one's sweat has been a common practice in China in the past. At that time, the Internet was not well developed, and some elderly people might have given birth to seven or eight children in their lifetime. But how many families did not have one or two children die prematurely?

Because medical equipment at the time was inadequate, children who fell ill were often forced to endure the illness. If they couldn't, they would die. There were even many children who were burned to the point of becoming idiots. Besides those who were eliminated due to pre-existing illnesses, these were all the consequences of improper treatment.

Aunt Zhang quickly put the bedding away and went to find a thin piece of clothing. When she came back, Xia Wanwan had already taken off the child's thick clothes and asked him to lie on the bed to massage his back.

"I've brought you some thin clothes."

Although she didn't know what effect her actions would have, she didn't dare to say another word and could only wait patiently and anxiously for the next step.

After Xia Wanwan tied the thin clothes, she placed them on the child's hips and waist, exposing the part below the thighs.

There were no fever-reducing drugs in that era, so she could only use traditional Chinese medicine massage to reduce the fever. Because the weather was hot, beads of sweat soon appeared on Xia Wanwan's forehead.

Seeing this, Gu Huaijin took out a sweat towel from his arms, sat beside her and gently wiped her sweat.

After half an hour.

"Second sister-in-law! The water is boiling. What should we do next?"

Gu Baozhu came to the bedside and asked her anxiously.

Xia Wanwan continued to massage the child and said indifferently, "Pour some water into the bathtub, then add cold water. The temperature should be suitable for bathing normally."

Under the current circumstances, we can only cool down physically. Even if we cannot completely cool down to normal temperature, at least we can keep it at 37-38 degrees.

She could feel that after half an hour of massage, Da Zhuang had started to sweat a little, which meant that his fever was about to subside.

"Aunt Zhang! Take away Zhao Ziyang's bedding, and bring him a bucket of warm water. Then wipe his forehead and armpits, and gently pat his palms upwards with warm water, wiping away the water with a dry towel. Repeat this process for at least half an hour, making sure not to let the water touch his wounds. Tomorrow I'll go to town to buy some things and bring him some medicinal herbs so the villagers don't have to carry him to the doctor."

Xia Wanwan glanced at Zhao Ziyang coldly. After all, he was Gu Baozhu's husband. After thinking about it, she decided to save him this time.

Everyone makes mistakes in life, and it is a great help to admit one's mistakes and improve them. So she gave Zhao Ziyang a chance.

After giving instructions to Aunt Zhang, Xia Wanwan gently picked up the child from the bed, then went to the bathtub. Looking at the bath water mixed by Gu Baozhu, she reached out to test the temperature. When she felt it was appropriate, she put the child in.

"There's a bit too much water. If you drown too much, the heat will come up and fill your chest, making it easy for you to get short of breath. So you have to scoop some out, just enough water to reach your chest."

Seeing that the water had already reached the child's neck, Xia Wanwan picked up a water scoop and scooped some water out.

Gu Huaijin followed her without blinking, watching the scene carefully and writing down all the methods.

Ten minutes later, beads of sweat began to appear on the child's forehead. When Gu Baozhu saw this, she burst into tears of joy.

"Da Zhuang's fever has gone down. He's fine now, fine now." Gu Baozhu knelt down again in front of Xia Wanwan beside her and said gratefully, "Thank you, second sister-in-law, thank you, thank you. If it weren't for you, our Da Zhuang would have been..."

"Baozhu! Stop kneeling down to me all the time." Seeing her kneeling down to her again, Xia Wanwan reluctantly helped her up and said, "First, find a set of clean, thin clothes for the child to wear. I'll go see how your husband is doing."

Gu Huaijin followed behind him and saw that Dazhuang's fever had subsided, so he whispered, "You must be tired and hungry! I'll go back and heat up the food and wait for you to come home to eat."

"Ok!"

Xia Wanwan nodded, then came to Zhao Ziyang to check the situation.

I reached out and touched his forehead and found that it was not very hot, about 38 degrees, so I knew it was not a big problem.

When Gu Baozhu dressed the child and brought him over, the child ran over and hugged Xia Wanwan's legs as soon as he saw her. He said gratefully, "Thank you, aunt, for saving my life. My aunt is so nice now. Dazhuang likes her so much."

Da Zhuang woke up just as he was taking a shower to cool down physically.

When he first met Xia Wanwan, he was very scared. Later, she took care of him while he was taking a bath. Her every smile and gesture was so gentle and kind, which made him instantly like the current Xia Wanwan.

"Aunt likes Dazhuang very much too!"

Xia Wanwan had a doting smile on her face and gently pinched the little guy's face.

Feeling that the child had no flesh on his face, Xia Wanwan's heart was almost twisted into a ball.

This child has been weak and sickly since childhood. He is almost five years old now, but looks only about three years old.

"Baozhu! Have you all eaten yet? If not, come to my house and get something to eat."

As soon as Xia Wanwan finished speaking, Gu Baozhu's stomach and Dazhuang's stomach growled in unison.

"No need, sister-in-law. I can just cook some noodles for mom and me. As for Dazhuang, he hasn't eaten much all day and he must be starving. You can take Dazhuang with you to eat something!"

Gu Baozhu felt embarrassed, but thinking that the child had not eaten for a day, she wanted to let him eat something first.

"Okay, I'll take Dazhuang to eat, and I'll ask Huaijin to bring Dazhuang back later."

Xia Wanwan reached out and picked up the child. Feeling the light weight, her heart ached again.

Before leaving, she reminded him, "Da Zhuang will probably have a fever again tonight. As long as his hands and feet are not cold, you must not cover him with a blanket. Just put a piece of clothing on his stomach and let him sleep.

Cold hands and feet are because the body is afraid of cold, so they need to be covered. If the hands and feet are warm, you cover them too much, otherwise it will not solve the problem and it may cause accidents. Moreover, convulsions may occur easily if the temperature is too high.

Whether it is today or in the future, this is how you should treat a fever.

Cover your child with a blanket according to the changing temperatures of the seasons, understand?"

"Thank you, sister-in-law. I understand."

Gu Baozhu sent Xia Wanwan to the door and nodded gratefully.

"As for your husband, his condition is the same. I checked and found that they are just superficial injuries. No bones were broken, so you don't have to worry too much."

After Xia Wanwan finished speaking, she carried Dazhuang home.

After dinner, Gu Huaijin sent Dazhuang back home. When she came back, she saw that she had drawn two pictures of toys on toilet paper with charcoal.

Gu Huaijin picked up the sketch and asked in surprise, "What kind of toy is this? I've never seen one before. It looks like it's really fun."
